rhinns He Didn't Know.

Artemus Ward was once making q
railroad journey, dreading to be bored
and feeling miserable, when man ap-
preached him, sat down and said, did
YOU hear the last thing on Horace
Greeley?"
.sGreeley? Greeley?' said Artemus.
"Horace Greeley? Who is he?'
The man was quiet about five min
utes. Pretty soon he said: George
Francis Train is kicking up coed deal
Of a row over in England. Do you
think they ill put him In bastile?'
.sTrain? Train? George Francis
Train?" said Artemus solemnlys II
never heard of him.
This ignorance kept the man quiet
for about fifteen minutes; then he said:
what do you think about General
Grants chances for the presidency
Do you think they will run himY'
Grant? Grant? Hang it, man."
said Artemus, you appear to know
more strangers than any man / ever
sawv'
The man was furious. He walked
up the car, but at last came back and
said, "You COMPOUNDED ignoramus, did
you ever hear Of Adam?"
Artemus looked up and said, "What
was his other name?"

Humanity.
OF all the graces Of the mind and heart,
Natures best gift or excellence of art,
Higher than all-yea, mans divinest part
Is sweet humanity.
Blessings upon the man whose forehead

The seal Of tenderness to hoary hairs,
Gods imprint! IT'S a blessed fate who
cares
For sweet humanity.
Chaplet of flowers immortal for the friend
Who loves his servant horse and would
defend
A dog, would spare oppression and mercy
For sweet humanity.
o bond Of all religions, new and old,
Divine beneficence that can enfold
All living things, whatever be the mold,
In sweet humanity!
