How Jamrach Was Fooled.

Jamrach, the celebrated London
dealer in strange animals, picks up
many bargains from the mates and
stewards of the vast fleet that sails or
steams into the Thames on every tide
from the four quarters of the globe.
But sometimes he gets picked up him
self. A few years ago he bought for
few shillings very rare and there
fore valuable animal from mate,
just in from, say, New Guinea. Pre-
sently the mate saw his venture in
the 600" with a great gaping crowd
about its cage, and learned that the
society had paid a small fortune for
the curiosity.
"I'll fix him." says the mate. So
the next voyage he returned with the
very rarest curiosity ever seen in or
out of London docks. "Hullo," says
Jamarch, fairly excited, what do
you call that now?" Dunno" says
the mate, indiflerently. Looks like
a bald squirrel" says Jamarch, and
the mate said him not nay, for it GER
tainly did look like the baldest posi-
BILE squirrel, and fthe queerest color,
too, "sort of no color at all" Well,
in three minutes Jamrach had bought
that rare animal for 90 guineas down,
and in three hours he was back on
the dock raging at the mate laughing
loud a. the far end Of long hawser.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

A pretty dog, with SOFT dark eyes,
And long soft hair, In color black
And tan and white, which, parted, lies
On either side down neck and back.
The children say he Is dude,
Because his hair thus splits, and we
Smile at the apt similitude,
Which suits the doggie toaT
OF course, he Is pet with all
AT home, including wife and me.
He'll run To catch the childron's ball,
And IL would make you laugh TO see
The antics he would cut at play.
He'll give his paw your hand to shake,
And hide his foxy head away
Betwixt his paws, II you but take.
An earnest look into his eyes:
All then how bashfully they fail
Your gaze; hut, more than all prize
His waving, bushy, waggish tail.
Not for it's graceful, pretty curve,
It's waving hair in black and whitei
But for its wag which | observe
is his expression for delight.
When home returning on the street
He sees me coming, wag and bark
My eye and ear unfailing greet,
His masters welcome always mark
can not do the smallest thing
For him, give cen word, look,
Nor yet crust OF dry bread fling
To him, but that his wag is shook.
For thus he shows his gratitude,
And what lesson does he teach
To animals OF nobler brood,
Who, unlike him, have gift OF speech.
The dog, my friend, will wag his tail
To speak his thanks for what you do
To him, II kind, he'll never fail
In this: my friend, how is't with your
When morning comes, with rosy light,
To kiss your eyelids, as you lay
Refreshed by slumbers OF the night
Have you no grateful thanks TO say
To Him whose mercy while you slept
Watched over you in tender love,
In health and strength your being kept,
That you may forth to duty mover
And as the day goes happy by,
Each passing hour with mercy fraught,
Is there no upward glance Of eye
Nor in your heart one grateful thought
or Him, the giver of all good
That comes to man; whose loving hand
Provides alike for all their food
And by whose power alone they standY
The social joys that bless thy lot,
Thy powers Of mind and soul and heart;
Are these good gifts, OF are they notS
II yes, whose hand did them impartg
II to give thanks for these you fail,
or your intelligence don't brag,
But think awhile Of doggies tail
And learn the lesson of its wag.

daughter, sat at her instrument sending
news of the terrible disaster even when
the building in which she was at work
was rocking from the impetus of the
water that was rushing against it..
There was abundant opportunity for her
to have escaped, but she refused to do
it. She stayed at her post, and the
news of the coming flood was wired
down the Conemaugh valley in time to
enable hundreds of families to escape
the approaching danger. She lost her
life, but her name should never be for

"Of acts of bravery that have been

The Major tossed up and posted the

Both young men, facing each other,
and looking steadily in each others

their pistols in the air.
At the report series of shrieks rang
out from the shrubbery towards the
house, whilst George Washington gave a
wild yell and began to kick like a
wounded bull, believing that 'he was

The Major had just walked up to the
