hand of any man living. There may
have been giants~~in the past, men
like Horace Greeley, who surpassed
him, but no one his equal remains.
Some years ago Mr.. Winter was
travelling in Scotland, and having had
many amusing experiences, wrote an
account of them to Il. H. Stoddard, in
New York. Mr.. Stoddard received
the letter at breakfast and, combin.
ing familiarity with the intuitions of
the poet, managed to make it out, and
enjoyed several good laughs. He
glanced up at Mrs. Stoddard and said ::

Black Panther Of Africa More Feroek

OF all the big, dangerous cats, none
Is more unapproachable and more
treacherous than the black panther
Hailing from the heart of the deep
est African jungle, 1.-THE and supple
of body, alert and nervous, this
stealthy marauder exceeds in ferocity
even a Bengal tiger. He is the only
big feline that the lion trainer does
not venture to train; and he is the
only cat SO absolutely distrustful thai
he shuns even the light of day.
Often he will lie all day long in 3
dusky corner of his cage, his yellow
slit eyes shifting and cleaning rest
lessly. Even the feeding hour, when
pandemonium breaks loose among the
big cages, when hungry roars ano
squeals mingle with impatient snarls
and impacts of heavy bodies against
steel bars, is apt to have no effect on
him. He may lie cycling his chunk
of raw beef suspiciously, and not ven:
ture forth until day has waned and
the last visitor has left; to tear meat
from bones with his long, white fangs.
In fact, so ugly and vicious is this
beast, that, frequently he turns on his
own kind and in many instances 1t is
impossible to cage him, even with q
mate.-McClure's Magazine.

The Departed.

The departed! the departed!
They visit us in dreams,
And they glide above our memories,
Like shadows over streams:
But where the cheerful lights of home
In constant luster burn.
The departed, the departed,
Can never more return!
The good, the brave the beautiful,
How dreamless is their sleep,
Where rolls the drgelike music
OF the ever-tcssing deep!
Or where the surging night winds
Pale winters robes have spread
Above the narrow palaces.
In the cities of the dead!
I look around. and feel the awe
OF one who walks alone
Among the wrecks of former days,
In mournful ruin strown;
1 start to hear the stirring sounds
Among the cypress trees,
For the voice of the departed
Is borne upon the breeze.
That solemn voice! 1t mingles with
Each free and careless strain:
l scarce can think earth's minstrelsy
Will cheer my heart again.
The melody of summer waves.
The thrilling notes of birds,
Can never be so dear to me
AS their remembered words.
1 sometimes dream their pleasant smile
Still on me sweetly fall,
Their tones of love 1 family hear
My name in sadness call.
/ know that they are happy
With their angel plumage on,
But my heart is very desolate
To think that they are gone.
