LORENZO DELMoNIco. the great New

LORENZO DELMoNICo, the great New
Y York caterer, died few months ago
from the effects Of smoking thirty or
forty extra strong Havana cigars a
day. His brother Siro, who was an
equally reckless consumer Of cigar
cites, using at least fifty or sixty daily,
has just followed him as martyr to
nicotine. The habit brought on what
is known as emphysema of the lungs,
and he finally died from the burating
Of an aneurism at the base Of the
larynx. As he had reached the age OF
ffty-seven years, the chief wonder Is
that he survived his excesses SO long

A GENTLEMAN, accompanied by a
favorite dog, visited the studio of me
of our Cincinnati artists the otler
day. There was a picture on the cas-
el, and the dog began to bark furious
ly at it. Mature may be relied upon,
after all" said the gentleman. 1.-The
best evidence of the faithfulness with
which you have painted that dog in
the background Is the earnestness
with which my dog barks at him."
But that isn't dog, SAID the IA tist,
blushing; ''it's a cow" The gentle
man was nouplussed for a moment;
but he quickly replied: "Weli, the
dogs eyes are better than mine. He
never did like cows"

That rejoice to see,
Because l know he's coming here
To talk n while with me.
THIS is an interesting guest,
He's witty and he's wise:
/ think-he sees so many things
He has a thousand eyes.
A power most responsible
And great this guest doth wield;
He's braver than the knight of old,
Who hid beneath his shield.
He loveth human progress well;
oh, many one he's taught;
And as the farmer Scatters seed,
He broadly scatters thought.
He knows of all that's going on
OF interest on the earth,
And patiently he tells the news
Beside full many hearth.
In the retirement ofmy home,
This friend doth bring to me
The words heard in the drawing room
And brilliant coterie.
He tells of many varied scenes .
In countries far away;
He chats about the newest books,
The concert, and the play.
Howe'er the day may brightly dawn
1t seemeth incomplete
Whene'er this entertaining guest,
This friend, l fail to meet.

4 LOST CIVILIZATION,

Sir William Jones, in his voyage to
India, found the in island Of Johanna, a
secluded speck in the Atlantic off the
coast of Africa, this inscription in Ara
bic, above the door OF mosque
The world WAS given tor our edifica-
ton;
Not for the purpose Of raising sump-
tuous dwellings;
Life for the discharge of moral and
religious duties;
Not for pleasurable indulgence;
Wealth to be literally bestowed;
Not avariciously boarded;
And learning to produce good actions.
And not empty disputes.
The people who were guided by these
maxims, if any people ever were, Ger
tainly exhibited high degree of civil
cation. 1t seems q great misfortune
that they should have persisted from the
earth. Yet if such race existed now,
and they possessed country worth any
thing, some Anglo-Saxon race would kill
them of or drive them out, and take
possession Of their lands, and whatever
,lse they might have worth stealing.
