evening, 10y n sco1adrelly tramp. who
attacked lG-yoar old girl, whose name

greatly standeth in need of thy friendly
correction. The last time he was at thy
school he was nowise reformed, nor in
the least benefited thereby; for l per.
ceive by the index of his mind that he is
liar, and the truth is not in him; that
his motions are irregular and wavering
that his pulse is somewhat slow, which
betokeneth not an even temper; at other
times 1t waxeth sluggish, nOtwlthstand-
ing l frequently urge him. When he
should be on his duty, as thou knOwest
his name denoteth, / find him slumber-

phrases it, catch him mapping. Exam
inc him, therefore, and prove him, be-
seech thee, thoroughly, that thou mayest,
being well acquainted with his inward
frame and disposition, draw him from
the error of his way, and show him the
path wherein am verify of the opinion
that he is foul, and that the whole mass
is corruption. Cleanse him, therefore,
with thy charming medicine from all po-
luton, that he may vibrate and circulate
according to truth. l will place him
for few days under thy care and pay
for his board as thou requestest. / en-
treat thee, friend John, to demean thy
self on this occasion with Judgment &C
cording to the gift which is in thee, and
prove myself to be workman. And
when thou layest thy correcting hand
on him, let it be without passion, lest
thou shouldst drive him to destruction.
Do thou regulate his motion for a time
to come, by the motion of light that rul-
eth the day, and when thou findeth him
converted from the error of his ways,
and more contormable to the above men
toned rules, then do thou send him
home with a just bill of the charge,
drawn out with moderation, and it shall
be sent to the in the root of evil.

HOW MUCH A MENAGERIE COSTS.

1t may be interesting to large class
of readers to know Just what a menag-
erie would cost them. There are, no
doubt, many deserving people in this
country who would like to add tiger or
a hyena to their list of household pets, if
they only knew where these docile little
creatures could be obtained, and what
the expense would be. England does a
large trade in wild animals and they are
rather cheaper than in this country.
Still the unhandiness of getting them
here more than makes up the difference
Don't expect to get snakes and such
ed by the active clerk, and the clerk gen
orally feels embarrassed when the pack
age breaks open. A tiger or lion can
be had for $4O0 each; $3.50 gets very
good article of leopard, although 800
will buy an inferior kind; black pan
theirs cost $3.50; clouded tigers come as
high as 81, 800, and economy would sug-
gest sparing investment in animals of
this class; lynx in England costs $50,
but they can be had for nothing in Can
ada. Canadians miss lots Of good
chances to catch lynx, for the Kanuck
generally has fOot-race against time the
moment he sees one, and thus neglects
to seize him. The J. nx that he doesn't

hundred and twenty-five dollars will get
you polar bear, and $50 brown bear;
a brown bear is just as satisfactory as the
others, and much cheaper; sloths cost
$50, but you can get plenty of them in
America, sitting around groceries and
talking politics; $25 gets very good
wolf, although many persons can get
them cheaper, in fact, they have a hard
time to keep the wolf from the door.
Aard wolves cost as much as $500, no
doubt because they are so Aard to get.
Monkeys cost from So up to $500. OF
course for the latter price regular OAR
win can be had. A zebra will cost you
$500. Be sure you get one of the right
stripe. Kangaroos cost from $50 to $500.
Feed them on hops. Every family needs
an elephant, and will be pleased to know
that one three stories high can be bought
for the trifie of 81, 800. A two-story ele-
plant costs $3.50, a cottage elephant $500,
while any amount of shanty elephants,
for parlor pets, can be bought for $500.
Now we come to luxuries. A rhinoce-
ros cannot be INDUCED in unless the pur-
chaser has good bank account. A very
ordinary rhinoceros costs $4,000, while
pretty desirable article comes to over
5000. A person must have the rhino
to indulge in a rhinoceros. Now 60
