BUT NEVER RETURN.

Oh. the ills of this life are many,
And the hearU-breakings not few;
Pure sympathy comes not from any,
It matters not much what You do.
l Can sometimes trust my umbrella,
Nor over it's lingering yearn,
But the books [ lend to a fellow,
They never, no, never, return.
The harvest may wait for the reapers,
The tailor may sleep DER your clothes,
But the earth is plagued with book-keepers,
And no one cure for it knows.
The sunshine that goes from the meadows
Comes back when the frost shall adjourn.
And the leaves play again with their shadows
But my books will never return.
l once had the wisdom of ages
Shut up in my glass case for use;
Now tits gone, by invisible stages,
From Murry to old Moth er Goose
My Euclid, still can remember,
Like the odor from some ancient urn,
Went ont to come back in December;
That December will not return.
Lend your friend your dog, yea your sister
You will find each some day, no doubt;
But book goes down the long vista,
And ten to one never comes out.
Do l know who made the loan To?
No, but my brain need not churn. st-
What matters it where they have gone to:
l know they will never return.

AN ADVANCED DIVINE.

T.. Dewitt Talmage, a New
York preacher of note, thinks that
sectional and denominational di-
vision should cease.
His big Brooklyn church burned
down on Sunday lately; the follow
ing Sunday he preached at the
Academy of Music. Among other
things he said: Il now make an
appeal to all christendom to help
us, and l will acknowledge the re-
ceipt of every contribution, great
or small with my own hand. We
want to build larger and better
church; we want it national
church, in which people OF all
creeds and all nations may find a
home. The contributions already
sent in make a small hearted
church forever impossible. Would
not be sorry spectacle for angels
and men, if in a church built by
Israelite and Catholic, as we'll as
all styles Of people commonly call
ed evangelical, | should. instead
of the banner of the Lord God
Almighty, raise the futtering rag
of small sectarianism?'
eff we had 100000 we would
put them all into one great monu-
ment to God. [ say now to ali
the Baptists that we shall have a
baptistery. l say to all Episco-
palians, we shall have in our ser
vices, as heretofore at our COM
munion table, portions OF their
liturgy. l say to Catholics, we
shall have a cross over the pulpit
and probably on the tower. l say
to Methodists, we mean to sing
there like the voice of mighty
thunderings."
Il do not know but l see on the
horizon the first gleam of the morn
ing which shall unite all denomi-
nations in one organization, dis
tinguished only by locality, as i'll
apostolic times"

Deer At Sea.

One of the greatest triumphs OF
acclimatization ever achieved per
haps. is the establishment Of the
red deer in the British colonies Of
the south Pacific. 1t is no sli ght
achievement to carry fallow deer.
or even the little roe deer, over
$4,000 miles of stormy water, in
cluding a broad tract where torrld
calms of the equator alternate
with raging tempests, and ending
with fortnight of cold squalls.
At length, however, a shipment
of red deer was successfully carried
to Nelson's a seaport at the head of
Blind bay, in the northern part of
the Middle Island of New Zealand,
and as the result of that operation,
in which l had the privilege to be
personally concerned, lett abso-
lutely nothing to be desired, | will
do my best to describe it for the in
formation of the readers of
Forest and Stream. Stalls almost
exactly like ordinary horse boxes
had been fitted up for them ON the
main deck OF the ship and to these
they were transferred, having been
taken down to the dock in a van
and slung on board the day before
their departure. ...........
Seasickness is proverbially ca
PRECIOUS. Some people are terri
bly, sick when fist they 60 on the
rolling deep, while others get their
sea legs at once and suffer little or
no Inconvenience. This is even
more markedly TIE case with ami
mails. l have seen horses champ
their chaff uninterruptedly from
leaving the wharf, through all sorts
Of weather, while others beside
them were Frustrated with agony
and terror. So it was with our
deer. The big stag, sultan of the
herd, was wretchedly bad sailor.
For the first few days, when we
were tacking about the chops of
the channel, or driving through a
heavy sea in the Bay of Biscay,
he used to stand shivering with
his forefeet wide apart, his head
hanging down helplessly. and a
mass of spume driveling from his
mouth and nostrils. Once or twice
he tried to collapse on the floor of
his box, but we stopped that by
means ofa broad belly band of can
vas with woolly sheepskin lining.
1t was not until we were off the
Western Islands that he fairly re-
covered and took his tucker regu-
larly without any unpleasant con-
sequences. His lady loves, on the
contrary, were quite hearty from
the start.
When the ship began to roll in
the heavy swell off Deal, they
opened their great, pathetic eyes
very wide and shifted inquiringIy,
as if in feminine curiosity to know
what in thunder was the matter

! Win the ground. 1ney also mad
peculiar habit of bristling up their
hair and wrinkling their skin over
the neck and shoulders as silent
protest against such goings on; but
they very soon settled down to
their new lite, and never missed a
meal from the outset. We had
taken an ample allowance of the
best mixed hay, oats and clover.
in neat little trusses. and enough
acorns in barrels to give them each
about half peck day for a hun
dred days. For variety we gave
them ships biscuit every other
day, and on Sunday they used to
be allowed a few American dried
apples or a little sugar for a
treat.
The ship carried a large number
of emigrants, including swarms OF
children, and our greatest difficulty
was to prevent the youngsters
from killing the poor deer with
kindness by giving them all sorts
of unwholesome things to eat,
such as sour pastry, mouldy raisins,
chalkp sugar plums and other filth.
More than once we feared we
should lose one of the binds from
this cause, and the stag very nearly
died off the Cape of Good Hope of
mysterious illness, which proved
to have been caused by facetious
sailor giving HIM a piece of tobacco,
which the unsophisticated creature
masticated and swallowed with
gusto, little suspectins what dire
effects would follow.
AS soon as we arrived in port we
had the deer removed in their
boxes, on drag, to the residence
of gentleman who had large
racing stables, and who took
warm interest in acc!imatization
and they were at once placed in
loose boxes and supplied with
moderate allowance of green food.
This was on the outskirts of the
lovely little city of Nelson, where
the lower spurs of a range of lofty
hills, rising in the back ground to
snow-capped mountains, came
down to the back gardens of the
houses. A few weeks after our ar
rival, when the deer seemed to
have become accustomed to their
change of food and their new sur
rouDdings, we chose nice warm
evening-it was in the early sum-
mer-and turned them out of the
stables into the scrub and grass on
the hillside, where there was moth
ing to prevent them from wander
ing away at their pleasure.
1t was curious and touching,
however, to see how unwilling
they were to go. Like the pris-
oner Of Chillon, they did not know
what to do witch their liberty, when
they recovered it. The stag, es-
pecially, was 10th to leave us, and
we had actually to drive HIM into
the low scrubs, where he began
browsing, and SO, straylng on un-
consciously was lost to sight in the
growing dusk. The next evening
and tor many evenings alterward.
the affectionate creatures came
back, and looked wistfully at us
over the fence, as if begging us to
take them back; and they did not
finally leave the place and make
for the mountains until a fierce
kangaroo dog-a cross between
mastiff and Scottish deerhound-I
set upon them and drove them for
mlles.-Forest and Stream.
