bert and the stuffed tiger from Bengal,
and encouraged by the voice of the
parrot and the chsttering OF the m onkey,
the romantic passion warmed up and
seethed and bubbled, and two young
and fond hearts. as poet has said:
Like snow-ialls meeting,
Mellowed into one."
There was flame of love, notwith
standing the GOODNESS of our simile, and
IL leaped and flourished until Llvinia
and Thomas were set into blaze. 1t
gave new ornament to the green cur
tain, il sparkled in the chandelier, IL
added a luster to the footlights, and it
sounded wedding preludes in the inspir-
iting harmonies OF the AmaE )nian bass
viol and other instruments of the Gus
tomary band. And in proper time, after
al professional engagements had been
fulfilled, Lavinia and Thomas were mar
ried. There were wedding presents and
sports and junketings after the solemn
ceremony, but the bride and bridegroom,
in that modcste tewhich ALWAYS marked
their character, retired from the festive
scene TO the valley in Massachusetts
which they had selected for their future

ally blazed in upon them, they have
only illuminated the delights of their
pleasant retreat, and the visions of the
polar bear in his stuffed integument, the
happy family, and the pathetic seal in

For several years we have known but
little about Tom Thumb and his wife.
But paragraph in a newspaper says
that the celebrated husband has grown
to corpulent size, although he now
measures but little more In height. II
also adds that IL the wife does not equal
her husband in his altitude. she emulates
his figure in the sesQuiDedality of her
waist and stomach. Some one who saw
her bathing in the surf says that the first
wave rolled her over aud over like
barrel, and finally lodged her upon the
sand. There is touch of poetry in the.
description, for, like the goddess Aphro-
dite, she was cast up by the foam of the
sea.

In MY Garden.

My garden is all planted DER,
The borders have been freshly dug,
The green shoots are pleasure for
The slug.
The fruit is forming on the stalk,
But woe is mel No care avails
When on my pear-trees proudly walk
The snails.
The mignonette and fragrant pea
Throw in the air their tender germs
But wriggling round their roots see
The worms.
My cherished rose-treel HorTorl That's
A sight that saddens sorry eyes;
Covered its leaves with tiny gnats
And flies.
OF slug and snail and worm aud gnats
In vain l am ruthless killer,
Still, there's that horrid cat, cat, cat
Erpillal!

History of Tom Thumb and His Wife

Tom Thumb, or Charles Stratton, as
he was called in his baptismal name,
was, at his birth, as all the world knows,
an under-sized specimen of humanity.
If he was not put into a quart pot he
might have been, according to what
was said by his mother, who averIed
that he hardly measured a pint. He
grew up in strength of brain and in
physical health, but with only a small
development in anatomical structure and
adipose tissue. Barhum found him in his
rural home, and, after some pleasant
negotiations with his progenitors,
brought him into notoriety among the
curiosities of the celebrated museum.
1t was forty years or more ago when
the great American repertory was at the
corner of Ann street, in New Y York, wan
dering through its shadowy and myste-
rious halls, and wondering over birds,
beasts.and wax figures, and monkeys and
relics of the Revolution, the writer first
made acquaintance with the little
prime and beauty of a black coEtee,
swallow, while his trousers, also of the
ministerial hue and faultless in set, were
strapped und boots that Chinese
princess might have worn, and that
glistened like polished mirrors. Small
in size he was, yet great in his adopted
name. because his measure was adver-
tised in inches. And so he continued
increasing in fame bat not in stature for
many years, until he had gained COM
Portable portion of this worlds goods,
and felt that he might retire from the
gaze of admiring eyes TO the quiet fields
and forest shades of his birthplace.
LaVinia Warren was also small an
understood at her birth, and grew but
little up to the tiIne of her maidenhood.
A happy thought of Barnum led him to
seek an interview with her parents and
engage her as one of the stars of his
museum. She took her position among
the Orbs of his celebrated tirmament
and held it for several years. 1t was
here that she found her Thumb; it was
here that her Thumb found her. Under
the tapestry of the museum walls, be-

deal of good among the sick and afflicted
with most every kind of disease, and as

European society is described as
volcanic by an American traveller recently re-
turned from Europe. Gen. Garfield in a CON
versatlon with reporter few days ago. stated
that friend of his who had spent the last two
years In Europe had returned deeply impressed
with the state OF society on that continent. He
had found that 1T was the prevailing impression
among very many of the thinking men of En-
rope that society there was being undermined by
certain irresistible influences. He said lin the
first place 1T is honey combed by widespread and
still wider-spreading infdellty. The Christian
relgion Is no longer supreme influence over
the minds and consciences of the masses. The
leaders OF thought the scholars of England
France and Germany, have popularized unbelief
and In France 1T has passed into current remark
that only women and children are any longer to
De seen at church. In the second place, there
great restiessness among the masses in regard to
the inequalities of society Why should the few
be SO very rich and the many so very poor2 is
the burden OF their inquiry and also of their
conversation one with another.
The u'adertone of discomfort is yisiblv grow
ing, and Is finding expression through Channels
that are unsettling the foundation stones of the
Whole social fabric In Europe. Socialism in
Germany, Nlhlllsm in Russia Commu nism in
France, and Chartism in England are all at work,
and the masses are being leavened with these
principles. Their aversion to kinpcraft and
prlestcraft borders upon revolution. The whole
OF Europe IS volcanic at this time Immense
standing armies all that repress the outburst.
But while they repress it, they afford the griev-
ance on which revolution grows and spreads,
and becomes more and more irresistible for the
final reckoning. 1t is believed by MANY of the
most sagacious minds that the day of ,ipheaVal
is not far of.
