WANT MY TAIL AGAIN.
BY FRED SHELLEY LYMAN.

II we. as Mir, Darwin says, from monkeys are descended, ,o.ue Natures touch aint done as much as science has pretended, And ather Time, I'll bet dime, must damn with fainteSt praise Ina, which we claim in shape of gain in these degenerate days. And ere we rate our mans estate too high in hlstoTy's scale. cts wait and frxt investigate what loss it doth entail; st's also see why we should be so pleased with this our lot, And how much gain, and how much pain, we by the trade have got. S.ch points as these, dear reader, please, l II press on you tonight, And hope you II deigp to read my strain, if shall write aright. No jest or eer shall enter here to tint or taint the truth, Blu, if a tear upon the bier of those dear days, forsooth, Shall chance to fall, twill but recall mere memories of old times, And as I've said shall never shed one shadow For far are we removed from those who out
 of history's pale Could point a moral" '" quite as we'll as to
 "adorn a tail.n And if may will essay, by aid of press and
 pen, To show you why, dear Darwin, would like
 my tail again. With their rude monkish habits then their
 tailor bills were small. The best authorities contend they had no bills
 at alL Their board was where boards srst are found,
 upon their native trees, So all the race could race around and help
 themselves with ease; They had no bodlces or boots to squeeze
 them out of shape, Their wine was all imported then directly
 from the grape No heart was pulled apart by art, theology or
 trash, And best of all, with all their wants they never
 wanted cash; No silver then could fill the bill, twas not
 great Natures wish To let them know this source of woe in that
 their " first posish :" Therefore, You'll see, it seems to me, they
 were ahead of men, So, MT. Darwin, if you please, want my tail
 again. In these our greater later days body and soul To keep up health, appearances and bills of
 tax and rent; Our "manners wear not that repose that
 marked " the frugal clan Who faced the heat and Sleet and snows be-
 fore primeyal man; That they had better morals, too. is plain
 enough to all, For give monkey half a show and he will
 never fall; While, on the other hand, we know that
 though his path may lie Below the humblest mortal's tread, he soon
 can sit on high And all in all, both great and small, consid-
 cred first and last, much prefer aud wish these were tho days
 that now are past; And, MT. Darwin, unto you, before drop my
 pen, I'll make this best and last request-I want
 my tail sS ain.

dHIdw 7rGVeler, by RaLpA 4. GSodyieh.
 When Gunadhya thus spoke, Kanab- hui asked, "Why, my lord, was he named Satavahana? Then Gunadhya said. Listen, will tell you why There was Raja by the name of Dvipikarni who possessed great power. His wife, named Saktimati, was dearer to him than life, and once upon time snake bi, her while she was peacefully sleeping in her garden. Then she died, and the king, thinking of her, although he was childless, took upon himself VOW of chastity. Then once upon a time, the moon-crested god said to him in a dream while he was grie sed because he had no son worthy of the kingdom
 Wandering about in the forest you will see boy riding on lion take him and go home, he will be your son. Then the Raja awoke, and, remembering the dream, was greatly rejoiced. One day, he vent far into the forest, on account of his delight in hunting; and then in the mid- de of the day, he saw on the banks of a lotus lake, boy riding on lion, glori- ous as the sun. Then the Raja, remem- oering his dream, killed lhe lion with one of his arrows, when he put down the boy In order to go to pool to drink water. The lion abandoned his form, and im- mediately assumed that of a man. The Raja addressed him, Alas, what is this, tell me-, and the man said, 'Oh, king, am Yaksha named Sata, friend of the giver of wealth long time ago I saw bathing in the Ganges a daughter of Rishi. and as soon as she saw me, she tell in love with me as violently as did with her, and l made her my wife by the Iandharva rite. Her relations, having tound this out angrily cursed her, and me, saying, You shall become lions, you wicked ones, who act as you like The holy men commanded that her curse should end upon condition that she -~As~> A~oA ~AhaAS1, ouk utl0S SuOukQ end when should be killed by one of your arrows. So we two became a pair Of lions. She in time became pregnant, and then died after this boy was borr, who has been brought up by me on the milk of other lionesses, and to-day am released from the curse by you, having Deem killed by your arrow. Therefore, take this noble son, give him to you, tor this matter was long ago arranged by the holy men, Thus having spoken, this Guhyaka named Sata vanished. The Raja, taking the boy, went home, and because he had been carried by Sata, therefore he gave him the name of Sata- vahana, and in course of time he was set ted in the sovereignty. Then that King Dvipikarna went to the forest, and Sata- vahana became the ruler of the whole eaxth.n

the prince is taught by you in six mouths, then will give up forever, SAnskrit, Pralrit and likewise the country dialects, these three languages which exist among mem Then Sarvavarman said. And if do not accomplish this, will carry for twelve years your shoes on my head.' Having thus spoken, he went out and l also went home. The Raja also was happy thinking that it would be accomp- hsAed by us two. And Sarvavarman be- ing perpiexed and seeing that his pro- mise would be difficult to perform, and 6lled with remorse, told the whole mat ter to his wife, and she being grieved said to him: In this difficulty, my lord, there is no escape tor you except through the Lord KartikeYa.' SaTvavarman con- cluded it was so, and m the last watch of the night proceeded there fasting. This became known to me through my secret agents, and early in the morning made it known to the Raia, and he hearing that, wondered what it could mean. Then a son of a Raja named Sinhagupta said to him: When it was made known to me, my lord, that you were afflicted, then for the sake oi your happiness, was beginning to cut of my head in front of the goddess Durga, having gone out of the city. Do not do so, this wish of the king ~ill be accomplished thus saying voice from heaven forbade me. There fore think you will be successful Thus having spoken, Sinhagupta took leave of the king, and then in haste sent two secret agents after Slrvavarman. He feeding only on air, being bound byA VOW of silence, and determined, by de- grees arrived in the presence of the Lord K KArtikeya. There being pleased with his penance which disregarded the body, Kartikeya poured upon him his favor ac- cording to his wish. Then having come into the presence of the Raja, the suc- cess of Sirvavarman was reported by the secret agents who had been sent out by Sinhagupta. Upon hearing that we two, the Raja and myself, were delighted and Respondent, like the swan and the cataka bird on seeing the cloud. Then Sarva- varman having come and having accomp- lished his object by means of K IT tike "a, made known to the Raja all knowledge which came to him upon his thinking. And thus the king Satavahana acquired all knowledge. For what can not the supreme lord accomplish Then in the kingdom there was great joy when it was heard that the Raja had obtained all knowledge, and the people kept up festival, and at that moment banners leaped from every house, and being shaken by the wind appeared to dance. Then Sarvavarman was loaded with jew els worthy of king by the Raja who bowed humbiy beiore him, and called him his spiritual guide. He was made governor in the country named Vaka- kacha which is situated on the banks of the Narml ada.
 "The king being pleased made Snha- gupta equal to himself in power, who heard betore any one else through the mouth of his secret agents that the boon had been obtained from the six-faced god. And he exalted far above the other queens from affection that one who was the daughter of Vishnusakt, and the cause of his acquiring knowledge, anoint- ing her with his o wn hand"

wonderful speech: Make me a scholar thus it was said by you, oh, king, long ago to me. Therefore last night caused myself to dream, then in my dream l saw lotus fallen from heaven, and it was opened by some divine boy, and then from it stepped out divine woman in white garments, and, oh, king, she i'm. mediately entered your mouth. Having seen 90 much awoke, and think with out doubt that she who openly entered your mouth was Sarasvai.' When Sar- vavarman had thus described his dream Sasavahana immediately put an end to his silencs, and said to me very impres- sively. In how long a time does it take . man to become learned who is dili. gently taught2 Tell me this. For with out this my splendor is not manifest What has a fool to do with supreme power2 It is like an ornament on stick of wood Then said, 'Rsja, it always takes men twelve years to learn gram mar, the entrance to all knowledge, bu. I will teach you that, my lord, in six years Having heard that Sarvavaman full of jealousy, thus spoke suddenly :: How can man accustomed to pleasures endure pain and trouble for so long a time? Therefore, my lord, will teach you in six months.'
