The Love of Domestic Animals.

The man who has not music in his soul is justly exposed to the disparage- ment of the poet, but what shall be said of him who cannot find one dumb ami nal at least on which to bestow care and kindness? Sailors and soldiers have their pets; the feathered, the feline, and the canine creation are universal favor ties.
 Carriers and draymen are rarely in- different to the companionship of the four footed friends, and the navvy's dog, while his master is at work in the cut ting or on the embaukment, sits on his peajacket and guards the bundle con- taining that midday meal of which, when the toiler returns, the good and faithful servant will have his share. It would be very dreary and perhaps a wickeder world than it is if we had not animal pets, domestic as we'll as regimental.-London Telegraph.

From an Old Book.

In one of the older manuals of the common council of New York there ap- pears an interesting directory of this city for the year 1865. Then there were exactly twenty streets and pop ulation of 251. Broadway at that time was De Heere straat (the principal street). The Battery was Aen de Strandt van de N. Reveir. Wall street was De Waal, Pearl street was De Perel straat, Whitehall street was De Winckel straat, William street was In de Smits valley Qn the smiths valley), and Broadway above Wall street was Buyten de Lant Poort (outside the land gate). All of the residents were of Dutch extraction, with the exception of one whose name appears in the list as Jacob, the French man.
 There were Roosevelts, Beekmans, Del Peysters, De Puys, Van Cortlandts and Verplancks in those days. Clans, oys- ters and fish formed the principal food of the settlers at that period. Occasion ally in the spring New York was visited by "such amazing flights of wild pigeons that the sun was hid by their focks from shining on the earth for considerable time; then it was that the natives laid in great store of them against day of need."-New York Times.

 It remains but to be said that Jacks policy was vigorous and wise, and that The Herald took an active partjn the last political campaign, doing much for its party candidates. Always an ob- server and student. Jack has iln- proved vastly, rising equal to every emer- gency. The year eighteen hundred and ninety-one was the most prosperous The Herald had ever known. In fact both the paper and its manager are so popu- lar as to have influence even among op- ponents. Jack is mentioned for con- gress, and will without doubt go there in three years. It was recently announced that he was to marry the lady by whom he is employed, which proves conclu- sively how sine appreciates his manage ment.

True Marriage.

A happy wedlock is long falling in love. know young persons think love belongs only to the brown hair and plump, round, crimson cheek, So 1t does for its beginning, just as Mount Wash ington begins at Boston bay. But the golden marriage is part of love which the bridal day knows nothing of. Youth is the tassel and silken flower of love; age is the full corn, ripe and solid in the ear. Beautiful is the morning of love, with it's prophetic crimson, violet, saf- iron, purple and gold, with it's hopes of days that are to come. Beautiful also is the evening of love, with its glad re. membrance and its rainbow side turned toward heaven as we'll as earth.-Theo- dore Parker.

Sixty-nine years ago Andrew Jackson wrote to Dr. l.. H. Coleman of North Carolina:
 ''The Almighty has filled our moun- tains and our plains with minerals-lead, iron and copper-and given us soil for the growing of hemp and wool. These being the grand materials of our national defenses they ought to have extended to them adequate and fair protection, that our own manufactories and laborers may be placed on fair competition with those of Europe. In short, sir, we have been too long subject to the policy of British merchants. It is time we should become little more Americanized, and instead of feeding paupers and laborers of England feed our own."

StuG VlUL nOQT,
 "Good morning, MT. Hazeley." was MT. Charles Blite's polite greeting on the following Monday as at eight o'clock he found Jack seated in the business managers chair in the business office looking over the mornings mail, which Simmons was busily opening up for his inspection. "What does this mean?" MT. Charles demanded as he took in the situation, and he strode over to the desk, his suavity gone, his frown fearful to be- hold.
 Jack coolly glanced over an adyertis- ing contract and remarked: Keep your coat on, MT. B. Don't get excited. Here comes your brother, and want him to hear what 1 have to say." As MT. Arthur came in Jack arose from his chair, buttoned his coat tightly around him, and raising his voice trife an- nounced, "It means, gentlemen, that by the authority vested in me by Miss Mar garet Medbury I am in possession of this office in the capacity of business manager, and that you two gentlemen are not wanted here in any capacity whatever"
 Brother Charles heavy face became actually gray with passion, and as he shook his clinched fist toward Jack he snarled like 8 wounded wolf in impotent fury. Finally getting his voice he be- gan: "It does, eh2 We'll see, I'm named as executor of the will Of Mr. Medhury. That will comes up for probate today, and we'll see who has charge of this office and property. Besides all this, my brother and have certain claims that may make the property or portion of it ours."
 ''Until you get before the surrogate and substantiate your claims, however" said Jack, ''I am in possession here. I'll give you just ten seconds to get outside that door and stay out. If you don't go peaceably I'll throw you both clear over that curb" As he advanced the broth CTS retreated, and waiting not on the order of their going went

In large cage in the Philadelphia
zoo were kept at one time about 20 mon
keys. Among them were two big, wise
looking apes with gray boards and hair,
and with the mien of stoics. They had
very long, straight tails, and habit Of
sitting high up from the ground and al.
lowing their tails to hang at full length
In the same cage were three or four brown
cebus monkeys, who were much devoted
to exercise and fun.
While the big monkeys would cling to
the side of the cage or sit on a perch
some 10 OF 10 feet from the ground one
Of the little brown monkeys would
stealthily creep up TO one of them and
suddenly grasp the end Of the long tail
and swing with all its might. OF course
the "big un" could not lift his tail be
cause of the weight of the little monkey
clinging to it. BE could only climb down
the side of the cage with his burden un.
til he could reach the floor.
During this operation the brown mon
key kept swinging until his own tail
touched the floor, at which instant he
would release his hold and spring to the
top of the cage, followed by the outraged
monkey amid the screams of the others.
By the time he had reached point
where he could attack his little tor
mentor, who would show some signs OF
resistance and cause him to pause for a
moment, another brown monkey would
seize his long tail and take swing.-R.

In this world there are % certain class
Of individuals who roam about with a
ship on their shoulders, daring others 20
knock it off just for the luxury Of in
dulsing in q first class quarrel. To the
gentle hammered, sweet disposiiione1
ones this seems very questionable sort
of enjoyment, yet to some a wordy war
or a full fedged feud constitutes the
chief excitement Of their lives
These people always have a quarrel on
hand. If it isn't family affair, then
outsiders must suffer. They are quick
to take oftense, both in public and
private, and have no scruples about ex-
pressing themselves on paper when they
haven'ta chance to do so verbally. 1t is
this penchant for writing letters that
helps to keep them continually in hot
water, az the black and white characters
are decided evidence against them even
after their anger has bad time to cool.
Now. If there were any sense in this
sort Of conduct, there would be some ex-
cuse for it, but there isn't. and, more
over, 1t makes you doubly unhappy to be
always on tine outs with some one. You
may pretend not to care, but you do just
the same, and though pride and temper
keep your spirits up for a time in your
secret heart you wish you had not been
quite 80 ready to quarrel.-New York
