Rhymes Of Animals.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati

lines together to tickle the ears of. my
little boys, and 6 years Old They
tease their mamma to read it over and
over again, and they fetch the big illus
trated dictionary to have her point out
the animals with such strange names,
and tell what she can about them. This
fancy for rhyme and rhythm is, sup

will amuse wider circle than my little
household. The, aim has been, after eu.

He Was Lying.

There was a row in a saloon on the
Strand, and q middle-aged man was
forcibly elected. A reporter was de-
tailed to find out the facts, which fur
nlsh an amusing incident of the cam
paign.
There was quite crowd in the saloon
talking politics. The shabbiest man
pushed his way in, and seemed to take
an absorbing interest in the discussion.
One gentleman said
Hancock will get nine-tenths Of the
Federal soldiers. -
You are right" said the seedy man,
III a loud, sonorous voice, clapping the
speaker on the shoulder. ssYou just
pet he will scoop 'em. I am an ex-
Federal soldier myself, an I'll vote for
old Hancock -
The attention Of the crowd was di-
rected to the patriotic colder.
Were you in Hancock's corps %
"Gentlemen," said the seedy man,
running his arm through the hole in his
hat, Il have voted the Republican
ticket all my life, but next November
my vote goes for my old commander. 1
may not like his politics, and they may
say he puts on style, but when a Gen
eral OF the United States army gets off
ms horse to help me when am lying
helpless on the blood stained field Of
battle, slippery with human gore, I am
going to vote for him, anyhow"
"Hurrah for Hancock j. shouted the
crowd. .-t<.e
"Wiu you join us?" asked several
enthusiasts of the grateful soldier, as
they advanced in solid column on the
bar. The healths of Hancock and En-
glish were drunk with enthusiasm sew
eral times.
"Hand out some of those high-priced
CIGARS" said another enthusiast to the
barkeeper. The ex-Federal took half q
dozen.
I've a great notion" said another
enthusiast, holding the Hancock man off
at arms length, and surveying him from
top to bottom, F'I've great notion to
make you present Of a new suit of
Clothes"
"Were you badly wounded?" asked
another sympathetic enthusiast.
II was lying on the blood-stained
field of battle, slippery with human gore,
weak and faint from loss of blood, with
! my leg shattered by a reb-I mean a
hostile cannon ball. I had fallen early
in the fight.."
The earnest crowd gathered close
around the patriot to catch every word.
90 Gen, Meade has given orders to ad-
vance and drive the reb--I mean the
hostile foe-from his position. Just as
I was expecting to be trampled under
foot, up rode Gems. Hancock and En-
glish." ,s E.
"English p bawled the crowd.
Yes, Gems. Hancock and English,
riding side by side, just as you see their
pictures, only they had their swords
drawn. I was lying weak and helpless
OH"
And SO it was, but this time it was
not on the blood stained field of battle.

1t Was Alfonso.

A well-dressed young man entered a
Madrid shop, and, after walking un-
easily about for q time, asked: Have
you any watches with India-rubber
cases ?" The astonished shop-keeper
answered in the negative. The youth
shambled up and down the floor few
times and again said: sYou haven't t
any rattle-bo with diamond handles,
I suppose ?'' "No,. sir, said the S. K.
How young does child begin to use

sponse. The youth went out, and the

The Law Of Entail.

Much misrepresentation exists in this
country as to the present powers of entail
in England. There is no such thing as
law Of primogeniture, except in SO far
that If man die intestate his real estate
would pass to his eldest son, except in
Kent, where it would be divided among
all his sons. Up to the close Of the last
century the power OF entail was illimita-
bic. It was cllrtailed in consequence of
the extraordinary will made by a mer-
chant named Thellussen, of Swiss ori-
gin, who accumulated vast fortune in
London, partly by buying up jewels
from French emigres at the time Of the
great revolution. Mr.. Thellussen in
tended his money to accumulate until it
would have reached about $700, 900, 900.
The Government, deenling it undesirable
that any subject should possess wealth
so colossal, introduced bill limiting en-
tail to living persons and twenty -one
years afterward. This is is not much
greater than the power Of entail in New
York, and almost identical with that in
Massachusetts,. Many estates in and
around New York-the Lefferts, Rhine
lander, for example-are entailed. In
England hundreds Of great properties
are completely unentailed, and it is pure
ly the custom, not the law, Of the coun-
try which will cause them to be trans
mitted to the eldest son. Men who are
very liberal in politics favor the custom,
because they think that it keeps up the
position Of a family, and that were an
estate divided up in the next generation
none would be better for such division.
It is not generally understood here that
the law in England permits a man to
leave his property precisely as he pleases,
and that Duke can leave all to his foot
man. The great estates, for instance, of
the Duke of Hamilton, Premier Duke of
cotland, were, up tc the time OF his
marriage, absolutely unentailed. This
came out Of some law proceedings.

A LOVERS DEPARTING SONG,
BY ROBERT FRANKENsrE1N porY.

While clustering winds around me roar
And dash to fragments thoughts Of mine,
muse and ponder with loves lore
And ask to basE in friendships shrine.
Shall obstinacy stifle down
That love which have often shown?
an tears the memory 80 drown
And harden hearts to hearts of stone?
Can heaven proclaim a blessing rare
And leave an impress on the soul:
Can nature, with her dowers fair,
Teach lessons that are wholly whole?
Yes, yes, dear girl, it can but do
That which win most ennob,e man;
1t speaks out boldly, and 80 true,
While nature says: 6 Be with that van
.sWhich seeks to show its lovely power
Unto our, r,lovely, gentle race"
Oh let me love the ''Prairie Flower
Ah! let not time her form efface.
Oh let the Jewels of thy heart
Forever shine in radiance fair,
And let not anger send dart
TO make one 1inger and despair.
And may say with him who said,
ooh! cherish grandly, strong and long,"
Oh! let thy heart become not dead,
But let it rise up bright and strong
And picture out to me the way, " r.
That should travel as go; . .
And brighter make my darker day,
Which once was bitterest of woe.
But nay I know you will not yield
To one who is 80 very low; .-' =
dream that I must leave the field
All like the Chinese, mast 60!
I do but go with deep regrets,
Still wishing that knew you more;
hope that you will ne'er forget
The heart that beateth DER and DER.
Dear "Flower "-Ah would were
Beside thee close-to speak
I'd press thy hand that is so fair,
And make an impress On thy cheek!
While you are travelling on tie road
Of joys, Of merry passing youth,
Look out upon the highway broad,
And speak for me kindly truth!
Good-by, good-by, mayhap fore'er-
We may not ever meet;
The road is rough, but we must bear
The bitter with the sweet!
Good-by, eood-by, my lady sweet,
May yours be ever bliss;
On earth mayhap we'll never meet
I give to thee kiss.
