q EVEN THIS SHALL PASS AWAY

ONCE in Persia reigned King,
Who upon his signet-ring
Graysd maxim true and wise,
Which, if held before his eyes,
Gave him counsel, at glance,
Fit Tor every change and chance;
Solemn words, and these are they:
Even this shall pass away"
Trains Of camels through the sand
Brought him gems from Samarcand;
Fleets of galleys through tine seas
Brought him pearls to match with these
But he counted not as gain
Treasures of the mine or main.
what is wealth ~ the King would say;
Even this shall pass away"
In the revels OF his court,
AT the zenith of the sport,
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with clapping at his tests,
He, amid his figs and wine,
Cried: "Oh, loving friends OF mine,
Pleasure comes, bat not to stay
Even this shall pass awayr"
Fighting on furious field,
Once a jayelin pierced his shield;
Soldiers with loud lament,
Bore him bleeding to his tent
Groaning from his tortured side,
" Pain Is hard TO bear he cried;
" But with patience, day by day,
Even this shall pass away,"
Towering in the public square,
Twenty cubits in the air,
Rose his statue carved in stone.
Then the King, disguised, unknown,
Musing meekly: "What is fame:
Fame Is but slow decay;
Even this shall pass away"
Struck with palsy, sere and old,
Waiting at the gates of Gold,
Spake he with his dying breath:
Life is done; but what is death?'
Then in answer to the King
Fell a sunbeam on his ring,
Showing by heavenly ray
Even this shall pass away"

Cruelty to Animals In Foreign Coun-
tries.

The London Stdndard's correspondent
in Italy, writing from Rome on March
Is, gives a dreadful account OF the
cruelty to which horses are subjected In
the streets of the Italian capital. He
tells us that he has seen them beaten
savagely about the head, and when he
has called policeman's attention to
these acts of brutality the latter has
answered: " What have / to do with 1t!
it is his horsem The same gentleman
has witnessed Roman carter, after eA-
hausting all other means OF causing
suffering to the unfortunate animal m
trusted to his care, dart at the under
part of the creatures neck in paroxysm
of fury and bite it with his teeth" The
Italian Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals, being unpopular
among the wealthy classes and unsup-
ported by the laws OF the country, Is
powerless to protect these unhappy
quadrupeds. In Paris, Nj. Hostein, writ
| ing to the Constitutional, points out that
a. he meeting of the members OF The
French Society for the Prevention OF
| Cruelty to Animals held on the ldh oi
December last year, NJ. Sorel called at

| Young elephant which appears IL the

Theater. NJ. Sorel informed the meeting
| that in one part of the piece the animal
| had to utter Il cry, and that this cry
was caused by acute pain. A sore, he
SAID, was purposely kept open (entreteHae

| and whenever il was necessary Tor the
elephant make itself heard this sore
was we'll probed with a pointed STICK;
| The President of the society promiseo
that he would inquire into the matter,

Mr.. Pig-Iron Kelly's conversion is
creating a good deal of talk at Washing
ton. He went to the South strongly
biased against the Southern people; he
comes back believing them as loyal as
the people of the North, needing as little
restrictive legislation. When his past
championship of the Force bill and
other like measures is considered, his
conversion to the other side of the ques
tion is, to say the least, remarkable. l,

this beauty is addressed, should feel

be industrious in adorning his domain,

Let him, as far as his circumstances

EduCafiHg Horses.

Horses can be educated to the ex-
tent OF their understanding as well as
children, ana can be as easily damag
ed or ruined by bad management. We
believe that the grca. difference found
IN horses As to vicious hadits or reIia-
bill'y comes more from the different
management Of men than from vari
ance Of natural disposition in the ami
maIS. Horses wiki high mcjt.e are
more easily educated than those Of less
or dull spirits, ana are more su>ceptj-
bic to i'll traning, AMI consequently
may be Is good OF bad according to
tho education Daeg receive.

utter neglect Of that more useful every

have caught the infection, and instead
of bringing the best walkers, We only

1t is time to put an end TO this non

successful breeders OF trottlng horses
in America has often remarked TO Us
that he would not keep a horse on his

that he had invariably found that the
fast walkers made the fastest trotterS.
1t IS a positive luxury to ride or drive

plain that the chi,is and fever are
awful there this year; and in some
localities the gathering OF the crops

To Justify a farmer who is in debt
