TWO GIANTS AND A DWARF.

Three OF the most remarkable men Of the cen.
tury are now on exhibition in London at the
Royal Aquarium-the giant Chang, a tea merch.
ant Of Pekin, Brustad, a tall Norwegian, and
Che-mah, described as "the Chinese dwarf, the
smallest man in the world" Chang is the lar
gest giant In existence stands eight feet two
inches, and is highly educated, speaking FIVE
different languages, including English, which
he speaks very well; but with the well known
sing song OF the Chinaman. he is eight feet
high without his boots; he measures sixty inches
round the chest, weighs twenty six stone, has a
span ofeight feet with his outstretched arms, and
signs his name without an effort upon a sign
post ten feet six inches high. Chang is S3 years
OF sge, and 1t is about fifteen years since he was
In England. After five years residence in the
Celestial empire he returned to Europe for the
Paris Exhibition, and has since visited Vienns,
(Where the Emperor gave him ring he proudly
exhibits, marked with the imperial eagles and
the initials of Francis Joseph), Berlin, and Ham.
burg Since his last residence in this country
Chan has grown six inches. He has benevo-
lent Mongolian face, cOurtly manner, and
wears richly embroidered dress worked for
him by his sister, who is like the rest OF his fam
lily, of only ordinary stature.
Next to Chang, aud next at no long interval
stands Brustad, about seven feet nine ipchet
high, very muscular, very broad backed, having
as great girth of chest as Chang, and wider
span In proportion to his height. He has low
forehead, but speaks English fairly we'll. Brus
tad has also ring which he greatly delights in
exhibiting. He presented 1t to himself out of the
profits, 1t is supposed, gained by being shown.
1t Is four and one.half ounces in weight, and
penny goes easily through 1t. To grasp bis
mighty hand in greeting is like shaking hands
with an oak tree. His weight is twenty eight
stone greater than Chang's, for his bones are
more massive. His age Is S5.
Che 'mah, the dwarf, gives his age as AZ, sings a
Chinese elegy, describes himself with much 1u.
ency and variety, and, as his height Is only 25
inches, appears TO be what he Is described, the
smallest man in the world, 1t is common for
exhibited dwar's to be over three #. high. Sir
Godfrey Hudson, the dwarf whom readers Of Sir
Walter Scott will best remember, measured three
feet three inches when he had attained his full
statuIe.-LondOn Times.

THE CHILDREN,s MUSIC.


We asked where the magic came from,
That made her so wondrous fair,
As she stood with the sunlight touching
Her gloss ofgoden hair
And herblue eyes looked toward heaven
AS though they could see God there?
"HushW said the child, cant you hear 1t,
The music that's everywhere"
God help us we could not hear 1t,
Our hearts were heavy with pain;
We heard mel toiling and wrangllng,:
We heard the whole world complain;
And the sound of mocking laughter
We heard again and again,
But we lost all faith in the music;
We had listened so long In vain.
Cant you hear lt?" the young child whispered
And sadly we answered. mo.
We might have fancied we heard 1t
In the days oflong ago;
But the music Is all delusion,
Our reason has told us 80,
And you will forget that you heard 1t
When you know the sound of woe"
Then one spoke out from among US
Who had nothing left to fear;
Who had given his life for others,
And been repaid with q sneer,
And his face was lit with glory
And his voice was calm and clear
AS he said, II can hear the music
Which the little children hear"

SCHOOL-DAYS.
JOHN sREENLRAF WHITTIER.

Still sits the school house by the road
A rapged beggar summing;
Around 1t still the.sumachs grow,
And blackberry vines are running.
Within, the masters desk is seen,
Deep scarr'd by raps oiiicial
The warping floor, the batterd d seats,
The jack knife's carved initial
The charcoal frescoes on Its wall,
Its doors worn sill, betraylng
The feet that, creeping slow to school,
Went stOrming out to playingl
1t touch'd the tangled golden Curls,
And brown eyes full of grIeving,
0fone who still her steps delay'd
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the'llttle boy
Her childish favor singled;
His cap pulPd low upon face
Where pride and shame were mingled
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and LETT, he linger'd,
AS restlessly her tiny hands
The blue.check'd apron fnger'd,
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The SOFT hands light caressng;
And heard the tremble Of her voice,
As MA iault confesslng
"I'm sorry that spelled the word
hate togo above you,
Because. ."-the brown eyes lower fell
Because, you se,, love you"
Long years ago winter sun
Shone over II al setting;
Lit up the western window panes,
And low caves icy freLting,

Lament their triumph and his loss,
