Rejoice, 0 young man, in thy
youth.-Ecclcsisete ll9.
Grabbed age and youth cannot live
together;
Youth is full Of Pieassnce, age Is full
Of care;
Youth is like the summer morn, age
like wintry weather,
Youth like summer brave, age like
winter bare.
Youth is full of sport; ages breath

Youth is nimble, age is lame;
Youth is hot and bold, age is weak
and cold.
Youth is wild and age is tame.
Age, do abhor thee; youth, ! do

THE prehistoric monster, reported

Barnum's circus had wonderful
horses doing the heavy work outside
the tent. Few except farmers gave
them a second glance.
The crowd, however, fought to get
into the sideshow to see "a horse
with its head where its tail ought to
be-" That promised the unusual,
something to break the monotony. In
exchange for their dimes, the spec
tators merely saw a horse hitched
with its tail in the manger.
They "took it good-naturedly, "
