to note what tender tones he seemed to
try to give his voice.
Seeing that Jim paid no attention to

to him, and with his trunk tried to turn
his head in the direction OF the bait-box.
At last, when he found that all he could
do would not induce his Wiliful friend to
help him, he turned around as If struck
by a sudden thought, and, snatching up
in his trunk the box that held the bait,
came and laid itdown at them major feet;
then picking up his rod, he held it out to
his master.
what do you want me to do with this,
Old soup?" said the major.
The creature lifted one great foot after
the other, and again began to utter his
plaintive cry. Out Of mischief, I took
Jimmy's part, and, picking up the bait
box, pretended to run with it. The ele-
plant was not going to be leased by me.
He dipped his trunk into the Ganges, and
inaan instant squirted a stream of water
over me with all the force and precision
of a fire-engine, to the immense amuse-
ment of the children.
The major at once made Soup sign
to stop. and, to make my peace with the
fine old fellow, I baited his hook myself.
Quivering with JOY. as baby does when
it gets hold at last of a plaything some
one has taken from it, Old Soupra-
many hardly paused to thank me by a
soft note Of JOY for batting his line for
him, before he went back 10 his place,

The Presentations OF Archery.

heaven bent, beautiful bow, so long
will the destinations of archery keep hold
of the hearts of men. [ can demonstrate
this fascination, and can give the reasons
why it exists. But first word as to the
fact of its existence. Since the pub}ica-
ton in this magazine for July, 1877, Of
an article on archery, I have received
nearly five hundred letters of inquiry, and
men have come hundreds of miles to see
what manner Of bows and arrows use.
You have but to mention an archer or
archery to your friend and Immediately
his interest is aroused. He may scott at
the bow and sheer at the arrow; but he
will inquire and show curiosity,
Hang along bow and culver Of arrows
conspicuously in your hall or library, and
you will soon discover that no exquisite
painting or bit of statuary will receive
more attention from guests than will be
accorded to these ancient weapons No
doubt If one could procure a she'll strung
with gold and silver cords, after the
fashion of the old time instrument where
with the gods made music. the same fast
nation would attach. Indeed music and
poetry sprang from the bow as did the
old first Tyre, the monochord, the first rule
of fine art, and is as inseparably connect
ed with the history of culture as are the
alphabets of the learned languages
What the fragments of Sapphic song ana
the Homeric epics are to the literature of
to-day, the bow is to the weapons of to-
day.
when man shoots with bow it is his
own vigor Of body that drives the arrow,
and his own mind that controls the mis-
sile's. flight Not so with gun shooting.
The modern weapon is charged with a
power acting Independently Of muscular
operations, and will shoot just as power.
fully for the schoolboy or the weakling
AS it will for the athlete The Sapphic
songs were the natural music of love; the
Homeric epics were the natural Qut-pour-
ings Of great, strong, self-sutficicnt soul
surcharged with inspiration of herolsm;
and when Apollo is represented with
drawn bow he is the symbol of the natu-
raj perfect physical manhood in an at
titude displaying its highest powers and
graces.
l: is curious to note how surely the
bow and arrows have found their way
into the hands OF all wild peoples whose
mode of lite has made physical culture
a necessity withsthem, and it is equally
interesting and significant to discover
that#among these wild peoples a chief
tain is. invariably chosen on account of
his ability to draw mighty bow We
are nothing better than refined and en-
lightened savages. The fiber Of our ma
ture is not changed in substance; it is
polished and oiled. The wild side of the
prism of humanity still offers its pleasures
to us, and it is healthful and essentially
necessary to broad culture that we ac-
cept them in moderation. Sport, by
which mean pleasant physical and
mental exercise combined, play, in the
best sense,-is a requirement of his wide
element, this CLOSED over, physical,

Stretch thy tiny hands in vain;
Dear,I have no bread to give thee,
Nothing, child, to ease thy pain!
When God sent thee first to bless me,
Proud and thankful, too, was 1;
Now, my darling, I, thy mother,
Almost long to see the die.
Sleep, my darling, thou art weary
God is good, but life is dreary.

And thy strength sink day by day,
Soon, I know, will want and fever
Take thy little life away,
Famine makes thy father reckless,
Hope has left both him and me;
We could suffer all, my baby,
Had we but crust for thee.
Better thou should perish early,
Starve SO soon, my darling one,,
Then in hopeless5sin and sorrow
Vainlyliye as Ihave done.
Better that thy angel spirit
With my JOY, my peace, were flown,
Than thy heart grow cold and careless,
Reckless, hopeless like my own.

And my brain is all opprest;
l have scarcely strength to press thee
Waneand feeble to my breast.
Patience, baby, God will helpus,
Death will come to thee and me;
He will take us to His Heaven,
Where no want or pain can be.
Such the plant that, late and early,
Did we listen we might hear
Close beside us-but the thunder
Ola city dulls our ear,
Every heart, as Gods bright angel,
Can bid one sorrow cease; t
God has glory when His children
Bring his poor ones JOY and peace.

A fine example of courteous rebuke
was the answer Of q distinguished Eng
iish navy officer to hasty friend.
The late Commod ore Hollins was once
sailing with an American commodore
who used often to insult his inferior Off
GERS, and apologize to them afterward.
After such an insult had been offered to
him, Hollins was called TO the cabin Of the
commodore, who said

it is announced tls : b. me of tho old

nation not to serve beyond the
time for which they were elected.
1t is suggested that this number
will be four, and if the mayor also
dec!ines-to act with the. old board,
tae city will be left without city
government. The case, after it is
argued on it's merits, will be car L.

this way: The old board will be
unlble to sit for want::of quorum,
tnere will be no power'to order a
new election to fill the four vacan~

will be gone. In the meantime the
