4 PRECIOUS THOUGHT.

'Tis like a material with which 70 make
An instrument Of song, which, tho reach
The music buried there cannot break
It's attitude Of silence with word,
And so it lies. unspoken and unheard-
It's like flower growing in the gloom,
And when ! eager search, but cannot find,
But may freely breathe the sweet perfume
Aud let its fragrance penetrate my mind
Il may be but the promise Of a thought
Which God, in mercy to my soul, has brough5
Lest be too content with lower things,
And /, in cropping for expression, may
Unconsciously be spreading out my wings
For flight unto yon heavens mount away,
For back Of all earth's shadows doth appear
The form which casts but a reflection here.

A Gorilla with n cnlh.

A recent arrival at the London Zoo Zoo
IS a young male gorilla. European air
does not seem to agree with the native Of
Africa, rs he is now suffering from a bad
cold and loss of appetite. He crOuches
in one corner Of bis cage, and all that can
be seen Of him is a shaggy shape about as
large as a human child Of - or IS years,
covered with a dark gray fell, reddish
upon the head, which is ugly even beyond
the appalling plainness of his chimpanzee
neighbor and relation Sally. Deep sunk
eyes glitter now and then from under the
cavernOus brOws and wide mouth with
black lips is seen weHrily to yawn; while
young Mumbo now and again scratches
his bare chest with enormous hands at the
end Of long hirsute arms.-London Letter
