THE APPRECIATION OF THE GREAT
PoETs.-Fashions alter, but not man
hood. Taste in literary form changes,
but not the appreciation of literary
genius. 1t is only when man makes
himself conspicuous by literary trick
of some kind that he presently sinks
out of sight. No change of taste or
form affects Chaucer, Spenser, Shak-
speare, Milton, or even Dryden or
George Herbert. They shine on like
stars when the bonfires are exhausted
and the candies are blown out. The ex-
elusive admiration and attention which
a great poet excites in his own time in
the susceptible mind of youth give him
a disproportioned prominence, such as
Tennyson holds in many minds to-day,
and such as Byron held with the men of
sixty wears ago. His tone is so fitted to
the feeling and experience of his time
that the generation which receives him
can hardly tolerate any subsequent
strain. The men and women who grew
up with Byron, who wooed with him,
who Travelled with him, who were filled
with him, are almost jealous of another
tone. Think of the first strain of Ten
nyson in his poem, "Where Claribel low
lieth,n falling upon the minds and
hearts that had melted with Byron's
"Dream," or exulted with Scott's
"Marmion," )" or were strung into rapture
by Campbelrs "Mariners of England ~
Fondness for the Tennysonian poetry
could seem to them only vertiginous
mania. But this is prospective, not a
retrospective effect. The devotee of
Byron, who could not like Wordsworth
or Tennyson, did not renounce the
earlier poets, and was still loyal to Pope
and Dryden, to Milton, Shakespeare and
Chaucer.-Etltto7.'s Easy Chair, IN HGr-
peT's Magazine for October.

Very nearly twenty years ago the author of
the following story, having always lived upon
a farm, and being wholly ignorantof all prac-
tical knowledge of the literary world, her asso-
Citations confined TO the nliterate and strug-
Cling pioneers OF the land of her adoption, con-
ceived the idea of entering in some way the
worlds arena of letters. Being possessed of
fertile Imagination, imperfect education, affec-
tionate nature, feeble strength, and romantic
disposition, and having encountered many
strange experiences (which made her tired and
old before her time," Mrs. Duniway compiled
her crude ideas in the form of A novel, many,
and indeed all the important incidents thereof,
being founded upon facts, so grouped as to form
a connected story. She has been induced to
re-publish the work in these columns, partly
because Of desire to revise and correct the
original work of both herself and the publisher,
and partly because so often urged to do so by
subscribers, that she feels under obligation TO
apcpda n their demands

It would lie too long to relate all the uses
to which elep phRnts are applied in Burmah.
Let US watch them at work among ths
woodyards where the trunks of tickwool
tree, which come floating down the river, are
piled. Every working elephant is mounted
by driver called ''cornac,'' whose pair-
cipal business is rather TO excite the ami
nal than to direct it.
In the season when the roads are cut, the
trunks come down the bar much faster
than they can be disposed of IN the saw
mills, and they accumulate in vast quaint
ties al along the banks. It is necessary,
therefore, to drag the trees cut Of the wa
ter and arrange them in piles until such
time as they can be cut up. There are on
ly three sorts of piles, varying with The
size of the trees. FMS an elephant in the
water clears the logs from the mass and
ranges them one by one upon the river
bank. He carefully examines the chaos Of
logs and proceeds with tusks and trunk to
disengage the tree he has selected and
which he intends 10 carry to land. As
soon as the tree is placed on the bank

one of thom takes one end of the log upon
his trunk and drags it to the pile upon
which, in view of lis size, it ought TO be
placed, while his companion assists him BY
pushing the log with all his might As
soon as they reach the proper Pile the first
elephant lifts the top of the log upon the
pile. then he forms kind of ring around
the log with his trunk, while the other with
a vigorous blow of his head shoots the Loo
into its place. The intelligence displayed
by these animals is almost Incredible. and
We should scarcely have believed it if we
had not seen their movements as described

A MIRACULOUS PRESERVATION.

A writer to the London Times writing
from Copenhagen, says;
"a Norwegian paper IS relating tale OF
an almost miraculous preservation The
captain of the schooner Amazon, of Stavan-
ger, recently arrived at Bergen with a car
60 of salt, reports that in passing the Brit
ish Channel he had the opportunity Of saw
ing British lad of fifteen under very pscu-
iar circumstances. The Amazon was about
twelve geographical miles from the British
shore when the captain thought he observed
through his telescope something floating on
the water. he altered his curse so as to
get nearer, and soon discovered that it wa-
q small boat, in which lad was lying fast
asleep.
The shouting from the schooner did not
awaken him, but when log was thrown
over into the boat he awoke with sudden
start; an end of a line WIS thrown TO hun,
and he was Just able to fasten it when he
swooned and had TO be carried on board Il 9

a pair of oars and Bible. The lad, when

ing account Of his fate: He was sitting on
the shore, reading his Bible, when some OF
his companions came down to him and teas

his leisure time. To escape from their ban
ter he got into boat and kept on reading,
when suddenly he discovered. to his great
disInay, that his prosecutors had cut the
line and left his frail boat to the power of
the quick running ebb.
''He tried to use the oars. bot struggled
in vain against wind and water, and, as a
dense fog set in, he soon lost sight of land.
After several hours Of alternate stru ggls
and powerless despair he fell asleep, and
sleep remained in fact his only comfort
against hunger, cold, ani the deep pangs df
his isolation during the three days and two
nights which he had spent in his frail boat
when he was 1T last seen and saved. I'm

IRE SLANG OF TuEsrocK EXCHANGE,

Gamblers OF every grade, says a con-
temporary. have their slang terms to con-
vey to the initiated just what they mean
and however blind it may be to the unini-
tiated, it is perfectly intelligible to those
possessed of the high civilization Cd ne
cessaly to manipulate stocks -Four diff
ferent forms of contracts are known under
the general term Of stock privileges. The
"put" and cali are single privileges.
.-straddIe" and spread" are double privi-
leges. A put is a contract giving the
holder the right of delivering a certain
amount of stock within a definite time at a
stipulated price. cali is exactly the
reverse of a 'sput.' being a contract giving
the holder the right of calling for the stock
instead Of delivering it. A double pfivi-
leo-e is a ssr,ut'' and "calF' on the same
stock in one contract. When a double
privilege is drawn at the market price of
the stock, it is called ''straddle,'' and

of from one or two and half per cent.
above and below the market price, it is
called spread for which a fixed prem
ium of two per cent is paid. The distance
from the market at which a spread is
drawn depends on the class of stock and
the activity of the market.

HOW LITTLE WE KNOW.

How little we know of each other,
As we pass through the journey of life,
With its struggles its fears and temptations,
Its heartbreaking cares and its strife
We can only see things on the surface,
For we people glory in sin,
A nd an unruff1ed face is no index
Of the tumult that RACES within.
How little we know of each other
The man who today passes by
Blessed with fortune and honors and titles
And holding his proud head on high,
May carry a dread secret with him,
Which makes his bosom hell,
And he, sooner or later a fclon.
May writhe in prisoners CELL
How little we know of each other
That woman of fashion who sneers
a t the poor girl, betrayed and abandoned,
And left to her sighs and her .ears,
May, ere the sun rises tomorrow,
Have the mask rudely torn from her face
y nd sink from the height of her glory
To the dark shades of shame and disgrace.
How little we know of each other
OF ourselves too little we know;
We are all weak when under temptation
All subject to error and woe.
Then let blessed Charity rule us
Let us put away envy and spite
For the skeleton grim in our closet
May some day be brought to the light.

AN NENTRAORDINARY CASE.-Sone years
ago the Lance: published the following,
vouched for by good authority: The wife
of Mr.. Higgins, farmer of BaltOnss
borough, near glastonbury, having brought
him three daughters in succession, and no
son, he was so disconnected at the repeated
disappointment that he vowed that if his
next child should be a daughter he would
never speak to her. To his great Joy his
wife gave birth to son. and nothing oc-
Cured to lessen his satisfaction until the
child began to speak. To his aStonish-
ment and distress he then found that while
the boy would readily address his mother
and sisters, and indeed any female, nothing
cOuld induce him to utter word to his
father, any male person. This singu-
larity Continued during the whole Of tHe
fathers s life entreaties, threats and prom
ises We're of no avail, and the unhappy man
frequently bewailed, with tears. the dis
tressiug consequences Of his rash VOW On
the death Of Mr.. Higgins, the young man,
to the astonishment OF all who knew him.
began to speak fiuently to males, although
Tor thirty years previously he had never
been heard TO utter word to any of that
sex. Mr. Higgins had no other son.

SEA SToRY SOMEWHAT EARTHY-
The crew of an English man-of-w war was
down with scurvy, and there being pone
of the usual remedies at hand an old sailor
suggested the trying of one which had
saved a ships crew in some land of the
tropics. This was simply to bury the men
upright as far as their chins until the earth
drew the poison out of their bodies.
Six pits were quickly dug in the warm
a,luvial soil, and when the sun went down,
the men were placed in them, and the earth
shoveled in around them. Ii was beauti-
ful moonlight night; and the operation
completed, the invalds chatted eayiy to-
gether; their shaggy heads just bursting
through the earth, in the itful moonlight.
made them look like men coming up to
judgment their voices sounded weird and
ghostly, as of another world. After awhile
one by oifs they fell asleep, and all was still.
Their comrades then stole away and sought
their cabins When they arose in the
morning ard went TO see how the buried
men Jared, they found that the wolves
came down in the night, and bad eaten off

a YoUNe LAZY of Troy, n. Y, received
about Valentines day a box by express
She found in it a beefs heart pierced with a
golden arrow of elegant manufacture, set
with jewels, aud estimated TO be worth at
least seventy~five dollars. 1t is probably
intended to be used either as neck-pin or
as an ornament for the hair. There was
not the least iutimation who is the giver,
nor can the lady or her family imagine WHO
sent it. For the donor of so munificent a
gift be shows a strange taste in sending
such a remarkable valentine to a lady. A
pet dog had the heart for his dinner, but
what to do with tho pin the lady can hard
ly determine. The gift surely cannot be
intended as an insult, and is probably the
result of some odd conceit.

THE YELL OF FRoG.-Every boy
who is acquainted with frogs, knows that
their croaking ''song'' is not all that they
can do in the vocal line. An English gen.
tleman thus records his observations on an
interesting, though not generally appreci-
ated member of the rama family
The fact that the common frog is c. pa
BILE of crying out Justify, when he feels him
self in danger, does not seem to have been
frequently remarked. In my small walled
garden there is common frog, whe is
prosecuted by three cats. His residence is
a heap of states at the foot of an ivied wall,
and here he is safe. But if he ventures faI
abroad, his tormentors soon espy him; and,
though they seem nearly as much terrified
as himself, they cannot resist the tempt&-
ton to touch him with their paws.
He Immediately opens his mouth and
utters a prolonged cry. which appea rs tC

back for few moments, and :hen paw him

sonnd. This sound is shrin and rather
suppliant wall, like the note of a small pen
ny trumpet, or the cry of new born in
fant.
There can ne no mistake about it, as
have repeatedly touched the frog with my
own hand, after driving the cats away, and
the same cry has Immediately followed
the lower jaw being dropped so that the
mouth stands open about a quarter Of an
inch ai the tip.

hair. 1t soon
q - sl 81 restores faded
6y Efl9n y or gray hair
y SSSe SeSD<N1 to its original
gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
Of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration Of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruf, which is often SO un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
