Shakspeare's EARLY Married Life.

The Hathaways had lived in Shottery
for forty years prior to Shakspe'sre's mar
riage. The poet, then wholly undistinq-
guished, had just turned eighteen, while
his bride was nearly twenty SIX, and 1t
is often said now that she did very wrong
to wed this boy lover. They were married
in November, 1882, and their first child,
Susanna, came the following May. Anne
Hathaway must have been very fascinat-
ing woman, or Shakespeare would not
have so loved her; and she must have
loved him dearly-as what woman, in
deed, could help it!-or she would not
thus have yielded to bis passion. There
is direct testimony to the beauty of his
person; and in the light afforded by his
writings it requires no extraordinary
penetration to conjecture that his brilliant
mind, sparkling h,lmor, tender fancy, and
impetuous spirit must have made him in
his youth the very paragon of enchanters.
1t is not known where they lived during
the first year after their marriage. Per
haps in this cottage at shottsry, Perhaps
with Hamnets and Judith Saallef, , for
whom their twins, born in 1886, were
named Hamnet and Judith Her fathers
house assuredly would have been chosen
for Anne's refuge, when presently, IN 1886,
Shakespeare was obliged to leave his wife
and children, and go away to London to
seek his fortune. He did nut buy New
Place till 1897, but. it is, known that in
the mean time he came to his native coun-
try once every year. It was in stratforl
that his son Hamnet died, in 1896. Anne
and her children probably had never left
the town. They show her l'edstead and
other bits of her furniture, together with
certains homespdn sheets spfs rvsrlestia q
linen, that are kept as heirlooms to this
day, in the garret Of the Shottery cottage
Here is the lrootn that must sofeen have
welcomed the poet when lie came home
from work in the great city i i. p very
homely and humble place but the sighl
of it makes the heart thrill with . strange
and incomrnunicahle sawe. You, can no

A Believing Elephant.

During recent high wind, the large
lantern on the top of the elephant-house
in the Geological Garden of Philadelphia
was demolished. Pieces of the thick
glass fell into the cage occupied by the
elephants, and the female, treading on
one of the fragments, received a painful
wound
Instead Of displaying the heroic pa
tience Under suffering that might have
been looked for in a creature Of her di-
mensions, she set up II howl that made
the roar of the storm seem the signing of
zephyr by contrast
The keeper, attracted by the din, hast
ened to the scene, and found her rolling
about the cage, Believing while, in
cessantly.
Her companion was found to be COM
forting her as well as he could by trying
to roar louder than she did, and by letting
haf-pint tear of sympathy now and
then roll down his trunk, which was
wound tenderly about the wounded leg of
the PROSTATE beast. y
DR.. Henry c. Chapman,y surgeon to the
Geological Society, was summoned. He
directed that the sufferer should be made
fast, 80 that she could'1iot interfere with
his operations in her agitation.
She was secured by ropes, and thrown
on her side on bed of straw, treatment
which evoked from her some extra efforts
in the roaring line.
When DR.. Chapman began to probe
softly around the wound with lancet,
however, she showed an elephan, in
stinctive respect for a friend by ceasing
her believing, and holding the injured
foot perfectly still. AZ
The operation occupied but few min
utes in its performance Dr. Chapman
successfully removed the fragments of
glass, stopped the flow Of blood from the
ound, and in few minutes the huge
beastwas again Oh her feet, lookingaas
alniable as . lamb. fagnNek
