THE cAMEL's REVENGE.
a Strange Story of a Stupid Beasts
ANGER.

A Strange Story of a Stupid Beast's
Anger.
The camel is stupid save when an
cry, and then seems to become sud-
denly possessed with an intelligence
almost preternatural ia carrying out
its vengeful designs. Palgrave relates
the following story of a camel's re-
venge, which serves to illustrate this
point:
a lad Of IA had conducted a large
camel. laden with wood from one viii
lage to another, ut n half-hour's dis
lance. AS the animal loitcred, or turn
ed out of the way, its conductor struck
it repeatedly, and harder than it SEEM
ed to have thought lie had a right to
do. But not finding the occasion fa-
vorable for taking immediate quits, 1t
code its time.
That time was not Tong in coming.
a few days later the same lad had to
%reconduct the beast, but unladcn, to
his w village. When they were
about half way on the road, and nj
some distance from any habitation, the
camel suddenly stopped, looked de-
nberatciy round in every direction tn
assure itself that no one was withi..
sight. and, finding the road far and
near clear of passcrs-by. made u STEP
forward, seized the unlucky boys head
in its monstrous mouth and. lifting
him UP in the air. flung him down again
on the earth with the upper part of his
skull completely torn off and his brains
scattered OF the ground.
Having thus satisfied it's revenge, the
brute quietly resumed it's pace toward
the village as though nothing were the
matter, till some men. who had oh
served the whole. though unfortunate
ly at too great q distance to be able tc
afford timely help, came up and killed
it.-St. Paui's.
