Courage of tho Tiger.

The Bengal tiger has more courage
than the lion, according to a Snowman,
who states that the matter was tested
in this manner: eve placed n shooting
cracker in tho respective cages and
fired the fuses. AS soon as the fuses
began to burn they attracted tho atten-
ton of both animals, but in widely
different manner. The lion drew into
corner and watched the proceedings
with distrustful and uneasy eye. The
tiger, ON the contrary, advanced to tho
burning fuse with n firm step and I'M
fiinching gaze. On reaching the crack
or he took his paw and began to roll it
over the floor, and when it exploded
beneath his very nose he did not finch
but continued his examination until
perfectly satisfied. The lion betrayed
great fear when he heard the report of
the explosion and for quito time could
not be coaxed out Of his den."

DRY in the Scottish town of Dumfries:
and the fine statue here pictured stands
now in the town of Ayr, not far from
his birthplace.
1t was unveiled on the sth of last
month, in n public square of Ayr, in
presence of an assemblage of over thir-
ty thousand people, who had been at
tracted from all parts of Scotland. 1t
is simple yet dignified; the figure is
that of an independent Scottish yeoman
of tho last century; there is thought
full look in the face, to which the sculp-
tor has given the expression of native
genius. The granite pedestal is orna-
mcntcd by Il symbolical friczc, and in
the four sides there arc to be panels
representing Tam O'Shanter," '"The
Jolly Bcggars," 1.-The Cotter's Saturday
Night" and another scene from Burns
poems.
The ceremony of unwilling was very
successfully carried out before the en-
thusiastic multitude, and there were
speeches in culogy of the poet and the
statue. The American consul Mt Edin-
burgh, Mr.. Wallace Bruce, of Ohio,
who is poet, delivered n poem of his
own composition, which was cheered.
Here is one of the thirty-three stanzas
of the poem:
Tho GROWING need OF praise belongs
To him who makes u peoples songs,
Who strikes ono note-thc common good
Ono chord-a wider brotherhood.
