the 'baance of trade should be precisely
reversed; and, test the rule to its extreme
limit, so that our lmportations shall be in
finite and our expectations nothing, and we
defy proof that we would be one whit the

that seem so desirable by being as alluring
as the mirage and the Dead sea fruit, but
Just as deceptive and unreal. The age is

the Mercantile system, and this country is
becoming too intelligenttor the "balance Of

wings, upon which are several cabalistic
signs. That it originally possessed tusks
of an immense length there can be no
doubt, but they haye been worn away
with age and use. From the measure
ment of those portions which remain,
and which are three feet in circumfer-
ence, 1t is calculated the tusks must
have been over II feet long. The age Of
this monster is estimated at from 200 to
300 years. A cablegram has just been
received from London to the effect that
this huge beast has safely passed through
SueZ in charge of twelve keepers.-Nea0

THE HARE AND THE FIsH.-The
hare and the fish, having borrowed to-
bacco of each other for several months,
and agreeing perfectly on politics, set
out to make journey together and see
the sights of the world. They had not
proceeded many miles when wolf was
discovered in pursuit. The hare at once
started off at the top of his speed, but
the fish called out :-"Do not leave me
thus: I can not run ~ "a fish who
can not run has no business to make q
Journey" replied the hare, and away he
flew to save his bacon. The fis b hur-
ried after as fast as possible, and both
found themselves on the bank of river,
while the wolf was yet furlOng away.
The fish at once rolled into the water
and darted array, but the hare shouted
after him: "Do not leave me; I cannot
swim!" IA hare who cannot swim
has no business to make a journey" )"
and he sailed away aud left the hare to
be eaten on the haIf-shell. MOral-An
owl who had overheard the affair from
his perch in persimmon tree drew
down his left eye and softly said: "You
don't know a man until you have trav-
eled with him."
