AN eastern paper relates blood
curdling story Of Barnum's old mu
scum, and the ferocious, wild gorilla
which was there at one time A cul-
tured young lady from Boston, twenty
nine years old, was viewing the various
objects in the museum, and became so
absorbed in interest that she remained
some time after everybody else had
gone, when suddenly she looked up and
found that the gorilla was loose, and
for some ten minutes, until the arrival
of the keeper, she remained transfxed
to the spot, alone with the terrible
beast. Undoubtedly the two never re
moved their gaze from each other, and
probably nobody knows what the go
Iilla must have suffered. W..

THE GUARDIAN.
THIS LIFE.

This life is like a game of cards,
Which each man has to learn,
Each shuffies, cuts aud deals the pack,
Aud each his trump doth turn.
Some turn a high card to the top,
While Others turn low;
Some hold hand quite full Of trumps,
While others none can show.
When hearts ARE trumps. We play for love,
And pleasure fills the hour;
No thought of SORROW cheek our joys,
In Pleasures rosy bower.
But when the feart is on the top,
Our cards at random play;
Aud often when The hearts turn mp
Our game Is but a holiday.
When diamonds chance tn crown the pack
It's then men stake their gold;
Large sums are often lost and won,
BY gamblers young aud old.
Intent on winnin. each doth watch,
His ncighbor with an eagle eye;
In hope perhaps {" get chance,
To cheat HIM IN the sly.
When clubs Are trumps look out for war,
On ocean or on land;
Ear hnrrid deeds are often done,
When clubs are III the hand.
Last game of all il when the spade
l. turned by the hand of Time;
Ii i here that finishes up the game,
In every land aud cline.
No matter how much each man wins,
Or how much each man saves;
You will at last the spade turn up,
And dig the players grave.
