81 knew a sea captain, who died some
years ago, who displayed great presence
of mind at a most critical time" said
Henry S. Roberts, of Boston. "His ship
had caught fire and the passengers and
crew were compelled to take TO the boats
in hurry. The captain remained per-
fectly cool throughout all the confusion
and fright of the embarkation, and at last
every one but himself was got safely into
the boats. BY the time he was ready to
follow the passengers were wild with fear
and excitement. Instead of hurrying
down the ladder, the captain called out
to the sailors to hold on minute, and
taking cigar from his pocket, coolly bit
the end off and lighted it with piece Of
the burning rigging. Then he descended
with great deliberation and gave the order
to shove off. How could you stop to
light cigar at such q moment?' he was
afterwards asked by one Of the passen-
gers. Because he answered, 1 saw that
if | did not do something to divert your
minds there would likely be panic and
upset the boats. The lighting Of a cigar
took but a moment and attracted the at
tention of everybody; you all forgot

behavior and we got safely away.'-&

The animal that comes highest of all in
more senses than one to the Snowman, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bailey, is the giraffe. He
is worth all the way from $500 to 5000,
and is one of the trump cards, with his
graceful, tdpering neck and his seahOrse
head lighted up with beautiful, intelligent
eyes. But he is regular exotic, needs as
much attention as a prima donna or a
young Duchess, and will die after a lit
tie hard travel. Almost as delicate a
subject, as Mr.. Bailey learned, after pay
ing $4,000 for the lesson, is the ostrich,
which, in captivity, is constantly suffering
from chronic dyspepsia and kindred stom-
aeh troubles. 1t also sulks and attempts
to commit suicide by starvation, so that
its keeper has to make balls of food and
stuff them down its throat. After buying
eleven Of the giant birds at something like
$500 apiece, all of which died, Mr.. Bailey
decided that an ostrich trained on iron py-
rites in a Transvaal Beers farm had no
place among the attractions of an Ameri-
can Snowman.
The cheapness of monkeys is their only
redeeming feature. Otherwise no show

POETR Y.
TO A PINE TREE.

Far up on Katahdin thou towerest
Purple-blue with the distance and vast;
/ Like cloud DER the lowlands thou l0werest,
That hangs poised on lull in the blast,
To its fall leaning awful.
/ In the storm like prophet oermaddened,
Thou singest and tOssest thy branches;
Thy heart with the terror is gladdened,
Thou forebodest the dread ayalanches,
When whole mountains sweep valeward.
I In the calm lhou oerstretchest the valleys
With thine arms, as if blessings imploring,
Like an old king led forth from his palace,
! When his people TO battle are pouring
From the city beneath him.
I To the slumbersr asleep meath thy cleaning
Thou dost sing of wild billows in motion,
Till he longs to be swung mid their booming
In the tents of the Arabs OF ocean,
Whose finned isles are their castle.
For the gale snatchest thee for his Tyre,
With mad hand crashing melody frantic,
While he pouTs forth his mighty desire
To leap down on the eager Atlantic,
Whose arms stretch to his playmate.
The wild storm makes his lair in thy branches,
Proving thence on the continent under;
Like a lion crouched close on his launches,
There awaiteth his leap the fierce thunder
Growing low with impatience.
Spite of winter, thou keepest thy green glory,
Lusty father of Titsns past number
The snowflakes alone make thee hoary,
Nesting close to the branches in slumber,
And thee mantling with silence.
Thou alone knowest the splendor of winter,
- Mid thy snow -silvered, hushed precipices,
Hearing crags of green ice groan and splinter,
And then plunge down the muiiied abysses
In the quiet of midnight.
Thou alone knowest the glory of summer,
Gazing down on thy broad seas OF forest,
On thy subjects that send proud murmur
Up to thee their sachem, who towerest
From thy bleak throne to heaven,

there has been a unanimoTs verdict render

any other conclusion. 1t cures alterations,
