Waterman at dime museum in Brooklyn
as he was making his rounds of inspec-

Fearing that the lion or some other of tho
lively curiosities had escaped, he hesitated
at the door, Throwing the rays of his
lantern through the crack he discovered
his Newfoundland dog engaged in u
fight with the usually peaceful baby-ele
plant. The Waterman seized the goad
which is used to persuade the animals
and ran to rescue the faithful dog. On
seeing the Waterman the elephant lifted
the canine high above his head and
dropped him. Before the Waterman
could prevent it the elephant planted his
two fore-feet upon the PROSTATE body Ok
his antagonist, crushing him into an al.
most unrecOgniZable mass. Despite the
blows administered by the wafeaman,
the elephant stubbornly refused to release
the dog.

FAREWELL.

Farewell dream not in this life
That shall see thy face again,
Gods calls thee to new fields Of strife;
But loss of thee brings loves keen pain.
Yet weep not. nor vainly wall,
i can respect the futures right;
Then hasten thy departing sail
smilingly shall watch its flight.
Thou goest with so hopeful breast,
And sometimes wilt in pride return:
Those now at loss of thee oppressed,
'Tis chance, then coldly thou wilt spurn.
Farewell! Fulfill thy beauteOus dreams;
Yet thou'lt drink grief in mirth's disguise
But still the star, which, dawning beams,
Shall long time charm thy dazzled eyes.
Mayhap, some day, thou'lt own the true
Price of a heart that feels thy worth:
The good we have, if we but knew.
