Mr. John Habberton, the author Of
"Helsn's Babies" contributes to the
January Scribner, under the above
caption, a sketch of a very interesting
horse. He says Of Moses:
His watchful eye took all the de
tails of camp and road, while his sleep
less heels commanded the respect OF
his comrades. So skillet was he in the
use of these natural weapons that
when a contraband gravely suggested
that Moses early education had been
conducted by mule the troop un-
hesitatingly accepted the theory. So
gleefully and neatly were his kicks
delivered, so regardless was Moses of
the object which they might strike,
that my comrades, excepting only
those who had been kicked, regarded
Moses's efforts with that admiration
which Englishmen are want to accord
to ykillful boxers. On our first battal-
ion drill, as we wheeled from column
Of platoons into line, the successful
completion of the movement was hail
ed by Moses with q joyous kick which
broke the leg of the sergeant upon the
platoon at my right; the sergeant
who was an old soldier, remained in
hospital year and half with his
fracture and its sequences, but upon
his return to duty he never spoke re-
proachfully to or of Moses. 1t matter
ed not whose horse happened to be
tied near him when the column halt

ny MARaEREr EyrISaE

BY MARGEREr EYTISGE
A tree-toad, dressed in apple-green,
Sat on messy log
Beside pond, and shrilly sang,
..Come forth my Polly Wog,-
Ny Pol-my Ly-my Wog,
Nv pretty Poly Wog;
I've something very sweet to say,
Ny slender Poly Wog!
aThe air is nloist-the moon Is hid
Behind heavy fog,
No stars are out to wink and blink
At you my Polly Wog,
NV Pol-my Ly-my Wog,
nv grateful Polly Wog:
Oh, tarry not. beloved one!
MY precious Polly Wog!"
Just then away went clouds, and there
A-sitting on the log
The other end mean-the moon
Showed angry Polly Wog.
Her small eye flashed-she swelled
until
She looked almost frog;
show dare you callme, sir, = she asked
"Your precious Polly Wog"
"Why: one would think your life was
spent
In some low muddy bog;
I'd have you know, to strange young
toads
NV names Miss Mary Wog."
One wild, wild laugh that tree-toad
gave
And tumbled off the log,
And on the ground he kicked and
screamed,
"Oh, Mary, Mary Wog!
Oh, Ma! oh, Ry! oh, Wog!
Oh, proud Miss Mary Wog.
Oh, goodness gracious! joke!
Hurrah for Mary Wog!'

Those who have visited the City
Hall cannot have failed to notice the
little house placed on the limb Of one
of the trees that stand In the grass
plot in front Of the building. The
house has been occupied by colony
of sparrows, and lately one of them
died. Ascertaining this fact by some
reason of bird logic, the others under
took to remove the dead bird by drag
cling 1t out through the little hole by
which they were accustomed to enter.
Some Of the family superintendent the
job outside, while others essayed to
push the body from the interior. They
succeeded in getting hal of the body
out, when 1t stuck fast, preventing
those within from coming out and
those outside from entering. The
united efforts of the colony were un'
successful in removing the obstruc.
ton, and they sat up such chatter
ing as attracted the attention of some
Of tho workmen of City Hall. A lad
der was procured, placed against the
tree, and one Of them mounted it. pull
led the dead bird out and so relieved
the anxiety of the disturbed family

In Borneo the bride and bridegroom
are brought from opposite ends of the
village to the spot where the ceremony
is to be performed. They are made to
sit on two bars Of iron, that blessings
as lasting and health rs vigorous may
attend the pair. A cigar and betel
leaf, prepared with the areca nut, are
next put in the hands of the bride and
bridegroom. One of the priests then
waves two fowls over the heads Of the
couple, and, in u long address to the
Supreme Being, calls down blessings
upon the pair, and implores that peace
and happiness may attend them.
After the heads of the affianced
have been knocked against each 9TH
er three or four times, the bridegroom
puts the prepared sirl leaf and cigar in
to the mouth of the bride, while she
does the same to him whom she thus
Acknowledges as her husband.

WHAT WAS FORGOTTEN.

The consequences that would
ensue to the country by putting
into .hs ofce Of President man
with little title manufactured as
Mr.. Hayes's title has been, were
left entirelycu Of view by the
men who constructed that title.
They proceeded upon the assump-
ton that no matter what might be
the materials ont Of which they
fashioned it, the people of the
United States are such lovers of
peace. and have SO. much OF stake
in public order, that they would
acquiesce in any result rather than
have a sanguinary contest for the
possession Of the Exective Office.
This calculation short-sishtsd
and desperate left out Of view the
enormous injury to the feelings Of
men that must be produced by re-
quiring submission to that which
could not be regarded as anything
but great public wrong. It left
out Of view all that infinite miss
chief which was to ensue from q
q violent, unwarrantable indefen..
s!ble construction Of constitutional
provisions; a construction which
has made the electoral colleges
mere machines for defeating the
popular will and has gone far to
work out their destruction. 1t left
out OF view the spectacle Of q Presi-
dent coming in contact with q
people who cannot see hlm without
seeing what is stamped upon hin
brow, the indelible marks of a
fraudulent title; and, a party main
tanning that it had chosen a Pre-
sident through electoral votes of
o State in which the Same tamper-
ing with the popular votes had
aimed to appoint and tits confess

when the labor of sixty-six men

chester at Peterloo, England had
as hard times as we have at pres

These were waste Of war, high tar.
iff and excise duties, redundant
depreciation and irredeem able cur.
rency, shrinking prices after high
speculative values, large Govern
ment expenditure and extrava-
gance.
How did English statesmen re.
store their country's prosperity?
Sir r. Peel effected the resump-
ton Of Specie Payments; lHuskisg
son modified the ma, igatiop laws
and lessened the tariff Canning
lowered the sliding scale duties on
corn. The effect Of such mastery
legislation Was to make England
