Barnum's White Eienhant.

The white elephant which P. T. Bar
mum purchased through an agent in
Slam for 100000 arrived in London
some time ago, and created sensation.
The people who went to see ii were
surprised that it was not white as snow,
but of pinkish gray color. Some one
started the cry that Barnum was deceiv-
ing the public and that the animal was
not the genuine divine creature owned
by monarchs and wOrshipped by nations
Others said that it was. A lively con
troversy on the subject is now raging in
London, and one journal published a ca
ble telegram from Calcutta that any
number of such animals coulu be pur-
chased in Hindostan for 1850 rupees or
about S75. p. T. Barnum, conscious of
the integrity of his white elephant, has
written to the Tribune in defense of his
animal, citing Frank Vincent, jr, the
author of Land of the White Elephant" :"
who describes the creature as gray. with
pink splashes, and says that it is SO rare

FlRST-CLASS FAMILY MAGAZINE |
LIPPINCOIT'S MAGAZINE
A POPULAR MONTHLY OF GENERAL LITERATURE
PROSPECTUS FOR 1884.

Among the chief periodicals of the country,
LippincOtt's Magazine has acquired the distinc-
tive reputation of being ''eminently readable. "
The special aim of its conductors is to secure
such treatment of the great variety Of topics
embraced within its scope as shall render it at
tractive to the general mass of intelligent read
ers, a favorite in the family circle and Il means
of culture as well as of entertainment.
While fiction, in the form of serials and OF
short stories, holds a prominent place in its
pages, it has gained particular notice by its
sketches of travel and adventure, studies OF
life and character, and articles on natural his
tory and similar topics, written with the fresh
ness that comes from personal observation and
experience, in lively style, and with abundant
lanecdotical illustration.
The arrangements for the coming year in
clude an unusual number of contributors de-
voted to outdoor life, places and persons OF
note, and other subjects OF general interest, by
both new and old contributors to the Magazine
Several shert serials will form feature OF
the Magazine during the year, including story
of Artist Life in New York, by Lizzie W
Champney, and a story depicting the exper-
fences of an American family residing in Eng
land, by F. C. Baylor. Further arrangements
are now in progress, and will be hereafter an
nounced.

Always a River to Cross.

There's always river to cross,
Always an effort to make,
If there's anything good to win,
Any richer prize to take.
Yonder's the fruit we crave.
Yonder the charming scene;
But deep and wide, with troubled tide
Is the river that lies between.
For the treasures of precious worth
We must patiently dig and dive;
For the places we long to fill
We must push and struggle and strive
And always and everywhere
Well fill in our onward course
Thorns for the feet and trials to meet
And difficult river to cross.
For the rougher the way that we take,
The stouter the heart and the nerve;
The stones in our path we break,
Nor e'er from our impulse swerve.
For the glory we hope to win
Our labors we count no loss;
'Tis folly to pause and murmur because
Of the river we have to cross.
So ready to do and dare
Should we in our places stand;
Fulfilling the Masters will,
Fulfilling the souls demand;
For though as the mountain high
The pillows may war and toss,
They'll not overwhelm if the Lords a
the helm
When the difficult river we cross.

Preparing for the Spring in the Gar
den.


Whenever a crop is taken off. it will
be a great gain to manure and piow OF
spade the land, leaving it rough during
the winter All such work rs making
paths, laying drains. etc, is more advan-
tageously done now than when the press
OF spring work is at hand. If new frames
are needed, or straw mats or crates for
marketing produce, or garden labels are
required; if Implements are to be made,
repaired Or bought-whatever can be
done in the present mOnths-will save
much valuable time in spring. Now,
and all through the winter, add every
thing to the manure pile that will de-
compose and increase its bulk and value.
Among the preparations for spring is
the pricking out into cold frames, the
cabbage, caulIfiower, and lettuce plants
from seeds. 1t is important to set the
plants of cabbage and cauliflOwer down
TO the first leaf, so that the stem, the
portion most Teadilv injured by freezing
may be covered. The shes should not
be put over the plants until there is
danger of severe freezing weather. Other
frames should be made ready for very
early lettuce. The soil is to be spaded
and enriched and made ready for plant
ing, and the frames then filled up with
leaves. If there are shutters at hand to
cover them, all the UeUUer.. Earth il of
ten wanted for hot-bedS, seed boxes, ETC.,
at a time when the ground is still fro
zen. Lay in a good supply of fine rich
soil, under a shed, or where it can be had
when needed.

Deliberation on useful things is pru-

Nothing overcomes passion more than

Handsome fruit generally partakes of

1t is easier to censure than to provide

Avoid making threats unless you are

The observance of virtuous conduct

The practice of kindness and patience
will secure success.
Only those who live well can hope to
enjoy lIfeS pleasures.
We need such enemies as will incite us
to nobler actions.
Truth, liberty and charity should be
governing principles.
Whatever is, is a necessary effect from
some previous cause.
If we weep through cracks we discover
something to veX us.
True joy is the possession of secure

POETRY.
The City Cat.

He is gaunt and thin, with ragged coat
A scraggy tail and hunted looK'
No songs of melody burst from his
throat
As be seeks repose in some quiet NOOK
A safe retreat from this world OF sin,
And all of its boots and stones and
that
For the life of a cat is a life of din,
If heis city cat
He is grumpy and stumpy and old and
gray,
With Sleepy look in his lonely eye,
(The other be lost at matinee
Knocked out by a boot from WIN
dow Aigh)-
Wherever he goes, be never knows
Quarter or pause in the mlonlgh'
spat,
For the life of cat is life of blows,
If be is a city cat.
He is pelted by boys if be stirs abroad,
He is chased by dogs if he dares u
roam;
His grizzled bosom has never thawed
Meath the kindly bIare Of the light Of
home,
His life's perpetual warfare, waged
On balcony. back yard fence. and fat
For the life of cat is life outraged,
If be is d city cat.
The country cat is a different beast,
Petted, well-housed, dem ure and sleek
Three times day he is called to feast,
And why should he not be quiet anc
meek,
No dreams of urchins, tin cans and wal
Disturb his sensuous sleep on the mat
All, cat life is thing worth living for
If he isn't city Cat.
And even when dead, the city cat
With strident members uneasy lies
In some alley-way. and Seems staring a
a coming foe with his wild, wide eyes
Nobody owns him and nobody cares
Another dead tom" and who mourn
for that
If he's only a city cat.
