A Lyric OF THE LLAMA.

Behold how from her lair the youthful
llama
Llopes forth and lightly scans the
landscape DER.
With llusty heart shee looks upon lifes
drama,
Relying on her llate-llearnt worldly llore,
But llo. some Had, armed with a yoke
infama
Soon lures her into llowly llabor's
cause;
Her wool is Hoped to weave into pa
jana,
And llanguidly she learns her Gees
and Haws.
My children, heed this lesson, from all
llanguishing young lllamas,
If you would Hive with latitude, a
void each llluring lllay;
And do not Nightly llleave, I beg, your
nlonesome, lllloving mammas,
And llllast OF allll, don't spclllll you
name in such silllllly way.

the planet In a position so southern as
to render II practically unohservable in
England. France, or the northen part
OF the United States.
Prof Lowell goes on to speak of the
observations of the polar caps. He says
that owing to the fact that observations

In the course of time the late Colonel
John Quincy Adams Holt. one of the
best known citizens of Sussex county,
became the owner Of the tract of land
upon which is Copperhaunk Spring.
He intended to build a hotel at the
place, advertise the curative proper

a resort for the unhealthy and for the
pleasure seekers, but before he ma
tured his plans death claimed him for
its own, and a year or two later the
spring was sold to a New York con-
Germ that makes a speciality Of mineral
waters ana owns number of springs
in the Western part of the State. All
OF the water that is sold from the
spring under the administration OF
this firm finds ready market in Nor
folk and New York, and is shipped
hence in barrels.
