THE SULTAN OF THE EAST.


There was Sultan of the East
Who used to ride a stubborn beast;
AmarVel of the donkey-kind,
That much perplexed his owners mind.
By turns he moved rod ahead,
Then backed a rod or so instead.
And thus the day would pass around,
The Sultan gaining little ground. ...
The servants on before would stray
And pitch their tents beside the way,
And pass the time as best they might
Untiltheir master hove in sight.
The Sultan many methods tried:
He clicked and coaXed and spurs applied,
And stripped dozen trees, at least,
OF branches, to persuade the beast.
But all his efforts went for naught;
No reformation could be wrought.
At length, before the palace gate
He called the wise men of the State,
And babe them now their skill display
BY finding where the trouble lay.
With solemn looks and thoughts profound,
The men of learning gathered round.
The beast was measured DER with care;
They proved him by the plumb and square,
The compass to his ribs applied,
And every joint by rule was tried;
But nothing could the doctors find
To prove he differed from his kind.
Said they: " Your Hghness! 1t appears
The beast is sound from hoof to ears;
No outward blemishes we see
To limit action fair and free. ,......
In view of this the fact is plain,
The mischief lies within the brain.
Now, we suggest, to stop his tricks,
A sail upon his back you fix, lb
OF goodly size, to catch the breeze
And urge him forward where you please"
The Sultan well their wisdom praised.
Two masts upon the beast were raised,
And, acknowledged from head to tail,
With hallards, spanker-boom and sail,
In proper shape equipped was he,
As though designed TO sail the seal
And when the Sultan next bestrode
That beast upon lengthy road,
With favoring winds that whistled strong
And swiftly urged the craft along,
The people cleared the track with speed;
And old and Young alike agreed
A stranger sight could not be found
From side to side the province round.

Involuntary Exercise.

A convict can be killed by week 5
labor which, if he were free and well
paid, he would accomplish without in
jury. A CONSTITUTIONAL is. a
walk of definite length undertaken
without an objects so abhorrent to
some men that they cannot get THROUGH
it without uncomfortable fatigue. Strong
men who, from want of subjects of re,
Election, happen not to like "deck-
pacing, ''-the aimless walking up and
down in which some feeble men, and a
very few women delight-feel, when
forced to do it, a fatigue which speedily
becomes insupportable, and would pro
duce, If the exercise was protracted, ex-
haustion OF even fainting. That peculiar
form OF the relation between mind and
body has never, we believe, been quite
satisfactorily explained, any more than
the extreme exhaustion which sometimes
follows, walking in sleep; bat nobody
doubts its existence, and that is al least
one argument against excessive exercise
for the sedentary. They hate it in spite
OF all arguments; and exercise which
you hate undoubtedly produces extra
fatigue.--London Spectator.

patriotism of the State, and among the

ATEAM STOLEN.
A Stranger Drives OFF With Team and
FOrgets 10 Return.

ZANEsvILLE, O., December Is. - Some
three weeks ago stranger, claiming to be
a dairyman' from Baltimore, in search of
milch cows, called on Mr.. John Howard, a
livery man at GAINESVILLE, and hired a
double team TO go into the country in
search of cows. Mr.. Howard let him have
the team and he used it two days, return
ed, paid the bill and went away. On last
Friday week he hired the team again for
the same purpose, but up to date has not
returned. Mr.. Howard, accompanied by
Mr. Frazier, the hotel keeper OF that place,
started in pursuit few days ago, and npon
arriving at the toll gate on the National
pike east of this city learned that the man
and team passed there last Saturday.
Later on they learned that the thief had
been in London, Madison county, but did
not have the team with him. He, however,
played the same game on livery man
there The team belonging to Mr.. Howard
was no doubt sold between GAINESVILLE and
Columbus, and the chances are that the
