Two Pictures-

i8JA

Lo purred the cat upon the hearth Bright blazed the ruddy fire The children played about the room,

Or ed their worthy sire. Here sat the eldest daughter, Ann, With thoughtful, pensive gaze. Who

dreamed

of love, and lovers,

vows,

Within the cheerful blaze. The mother with her brow serene, A handsome, thrifty dame, Who taught her children precepts pure,

And dutv made their aim. Close by, a'noble, well-built lad, On problems hard intent, And at his side his faithful dog

Crouched, lazily content.

No fear of poverty or want Can chase their smiles away Though rough and humble be their home,

They have no debts to pay. The father smokes his friendly pipe, No haunting fears annoy, While in the future spreads his pa*h,

To honest wealth and joy.

1776,

A handsome, frescoed, glided room With satin curtains hung, Where statuettes gleam snowy-white

The marble halls among. Two children, clad in silken robes, With pinched and sickly faces, Both lacking cheerfulness and health,

And usual childish graces. Their mother, in her velvet dress, And diamonds rich and rare, With knitted brow near them reclines,

Her head bowed down with care. Their father, tottering on the verge Of bankruptcy and ruin, Stares vacantly about the halls

With costly'treasures strewn. IIow think you do these scenes compare?

The one, hale, rugged, cheerful The other, 'mid its gorgeous wealth, All haggard, worn, and fearful. Oh! how this world of ours has changcd!

Now 'tis a shame to toil Yet,

gain wealth, men do not shrink And honest name to soil. CORNELIA M. WILLXRD.

HE GORILLA.

Almost a Man in Appearance.

The Philadelphia Times described in the following manner a gorilla on cxibition at the Centennial show:

Those who have read Du Chaillu's African Travels will be interested in seeing the stuffed hide of the terrible gorilla that was killed by the pluckcy little 1' rcnchman in an encounter which he graphically describes. It is exhibited with the Ohio archa'ological collection, in the 'J1'11" eral annex of the Main Building, I he exhibitor is the Mount Union College. 01 Alliance, Stark County, Ohio, for the museum of which it was obtained at a cost of $10,000. When this formidable beast was attacked by Du Chaillu and two negroes lie wrenched the guns out 01 the hands of the latter, bent them in the

shape

of a horse shoe, killed both of the Africans, and then rushed towards Du Chaillu, screaching horribly and beating his breast with his fore hands, as the gorilla always does when enraged. The little Gaul, however, finished his gorillaship with a bullet through the heart, the

mark

of which may be seen. This aflair ocurred on tl br n's of 'hi Gabo River, in Africa. The stufled hide generallv known in Centennial circles as Dr. Darwin—stands erect, grasping with one hand the limb of a tree. Assuming him to be still in the flesh, he weighs over two hundred and fifty pounds, and is an excellent specimen of the nearest approach in,the brute kingdom to man from whom. in outward appearance, he differs but little except in the formation of the head, the length of the arms arid legs and in being covered, except on the face and palms, will dark brown hair, which is long and bushy on the head, shorter, but equally thick, on the arms, legs and back, and very light and sparce on the breast and the back of the hands. His height is five feet, eleven inches. Belonging to the order of quadrumana, he has°four hands, twice as large and three times as powerful as those of an ardinary man, from which those on the arms do not differ in form, while those on the legs are shaped like a man's foot, but have longer digits and are used as hands and feet. The animal walks on all fours as readily as on his legs only. The legs are about six inches shorter and the thighs much thinner than those of an ordinary develoMd man of the same heighth as the g(M£t The bones of the animal are, howe®|j one and a half times as thick and stHtg as those of such a man. The fist is heritable sledge hammer, and the arm hardly less than a battering ram. As he never carried a pocket knife his finger nails appear to have been in mourning since Mrtb. The circumference Of his chest is

waist about

inches and that of his

inches. When erect, his

arms reach three inches below his knees. It is in the head that his animal nature is mainly displayed. It is twice as long as that of an ordinary man, forming in the rear

of his body. The forehead is scarce half an inch high, flat on top, and receding almost horizontally to the immense bump behind. The upper half of the face is flat and square, the eyes being very large dark brown, glaring, and about five inches apart and located near the top and sides of the face. The lower half is the bump of a monkey's phisiognomy, chinless, but having a mouth, the corners of which are four inches apart in a straight line, and nine if the measurement is made around the lips. Where the social and intellectual "bumps"' are in man there is next to nothing in the gorilla although, corporally, he is only one step lower than man.

In spite of his great yawning mouth, horrible grin and four immense canine teeth, the ladies inspcct him with great interest.

A PHOTOGRAPH of a young Terre Haute belle was found on the streets the other day. Around the picture had been written bv the ardent lover who had probably "lost it, this affectionate phrase. "This is the only girl I fever loved.

AN UNRIVALLED OBITUARY

The Champion Eulogist of the Middle States Outdone.

The following obituary notice appears in the editorial columns of the Homer (La.) Iliad:—"Our young friend, Oscar Poole,

son

of our esteemed fellow-citizen,

Co'o.iel T. W, Poole, died recently during our absence, after a long ?nd trying illness and although a handsome obituary notice of the sad event has already appeared in our columns, we feel like paying his memory a brief notice at our hand:,—because, in the first place, such is eminently deserving upon his own abstract merits, and in the next place he was the beloved and idolized son of our noblehearted neighbor, and was the special and bosom friend of our own sons, all of whom loved him in life and honor his memory now that he is dead.

But is it true that the death of such a young man can properly be said to have b-ien untimely? From an earthly and material standpoint it might be seen but, morally and spiritually considered, it nvght well admit of doubt. It was said even among the heathen that "whom the gods love die young," and our Christian literature and philosophy teach us that "derth loves a shining mark." and then we consider that none but "the pure in heart shall see God" in peace, and remember that none are so safely pure as those who have not become contaminated by the world's sin and temptation, we are at least left in doubt as to whether the death of such a noble young man as Oscar Poole could in any true and philosophic sense be said to be untimely.

But then how hard it is to give such a one up! How hard it is to give such a a friend and companion up but how much more trying is it for the father and mother and brothers and sisters to part for ever with such a loved and beloved one! It makes the heart of a parent bleed with an inexpressible sorrow to contemplate such a separation and bereavement.

Oscar Poole was almost, if not quite, without a fault—certainly without a serious fault. He was a most dutiful and obedient son and an affectionate and appreciative brother, and ap a friend he is now remembered, with pride and trueaffection, as "having been manly and true and without a spark of affectation or

death is a bleeding loss to his

WHY MB. DUNNER CALLED.

An Intel view With the Colonel.

Philadelphia Bulletin.

While Colonel X, the editor of a great and influential newspaper published in a certain suburban village, was sitting in his sanctum the other day writing a leader on the subject of '"The Reign of Corruption," Mr. Dunner, the book canvasser, came in. The following conversation ensued!

Dunner—,-I wish to—" Col.—"I don't want any." D.—"I sav that I desire to—' Col.—"Makes no difference I don't want it."

D.—"To see you fcr a few moments alone in order to— Col.—"No use. I've got a closet full of 'em at home already. Shut that door after you when you go out, will you? Good morning."

D.—"I don't think you understand me. I called Col. "O, yes I do, I understand you perfectly, Mr. Dunner. I know exactly what you want. Yon've got under your arm some sample sheets ot a life of Chris topher Columbus, which is to be issued in numbers at

cents apiece. It is full

of preposterous old pictures of Columbas landing on the shores of the new world with three or fonr people around him, dressed like the ghost in Hamlet, and a dozen or two naked natives bowing down before him, and wondering what in the thunder he means by standing there waving a fiag in one hand and brandishing h?s sword with the other. That's what you've got, and you want me to subscribe for it."

D.—"Nothing of the sort, sir." Col.—"Or else you've got a specimen copy of a new illustrated history of the United States, with cuts of Gen. Washington's horse standing on three legs, while a cannon ball whistles by him which George is trying to catch in his hat. And it has in it a lot of portraits of celebrated Americans which look as if they were drawn to go on rag babies, and a representation of the battle of Bunker Hill, in which one man is lying on the ground while another sticks a bnyonet in him, and all the rest huddle around him and don't do anything. I've seen em often.

We use 'cin for starting the fires up at our house. You can sell any to me. 1). "You are very much mistaken, Colonel I

Col.—"Oh, well, it makes no difference, It's something or other of that kind. A life of the Signers, maybe, with a wry-necked American eagle screaming on the title-page or Adventures on the Plains' written by some bald-headed lunatic who's been out there skeeting round amcng the Indians, or a Fanner's Guide, whicli instructs the agriculturist not to knock his water melons off the trees until they get yellow or some such slush as that. I've had lots of'em. But I'm not buying any now. So good morning I set you're in a hurry." 'D.—"Colonel, the fact is that I want to put an advertisement in your paper.',1

Col.—"A B*advertise-why,sit down, my dea- sir. Excuse me for keeping you standing. Take a chair. There, now. Now what can I do for yon?''

D.—"I have here a very interesting and valuable book, the 'Lile ot Bishop Potts, the Mormon Saint.' Look at it. It gives an inside view ol Mormanisin, exposes all their mysteries, tells a story which must thrill the soul of the entire nation."

Col.—"Capital book excellent the very thing to sell just what the people want. Now you want to advertise it, do vour"

D.—"Yes I'd like to have this prospectus ins rted ten times." Col.—'Ten—yes ten fifteens—one hundred an

tty at ten cents a line is

fifteen—yes fifteen dollars." D.—" Vou think it will help the book?" Cpl.—'Think? I know it. Alia book like "that wants is to have public attention directed to it. People'il just go for it."

D.—"And now about paying for the advert'sement. Fifteen dollars I think you siid

Col.—"Yes, f.:een." D.—"Jes" so. I sell the bcok at

$3.50,

but I'll tell ytu what I'm going to do. I'm going to put you it at $1.50 and send you round ten of 'em. Ten times $1.50 is just

$15,

and then we're square."

Col—"Ain't }OU going to pay cash?" D.—"Oh, no of course not." Col—"You ain'r, hey? Well, I wouldn't touch your intamous old mess of gabble about that polygamous old beast of a Morman with a 40-foot pole. Take it away from her3. Get out. Skip. Or, I'll get a policem in to kick you down stairs."

Then Mr. Dunner withdrew, and the Colonel went back in a condition of corruption. His readers arc yet unaware that a life of Bishop Potts is for sale

Capt. Ackland's Passage at Arms with Pirates. Yesterday afternoom a jolly tar, says the San Francisco Chronicles, with rubicund visage and knotty hands, skipped into the Chronicle's local room and inquired ih a stentorian voice. "'Ave you got hany hitem 'ere about a sea-dog bein' garhoted!" He was told that the information had not been imparted to the paper, and he proceeded with the broadest grin imaginable to relate tbe pleasant episode, as follows "Hit was a Sunday last, 'bout ten o'clock, I should say, when I was a goin' 'ome, and within heighty feet o' me own door. I 'eard a step behind me, an' as I turned I spied two fellars a comin' for me. One of 'em hauled off an' socked me riglit hover the main 'atchway 'ere."

The captain illustrated the performance by planting his fist over his capacious mouth. Drawing himselt up a little and making numerous violent gesticulations, he resumed "Well, but I was'stonished when I slewed round and got that crack. I could 'ear hevery tooth in my blarsted 'ead rattle as if a rope was tied to 'em an' sumnun apullin' hat it. Well, any 'ow, I 'ung my topsail to the mast an' went for'em. I gave 'im a regular snorter abaft the right hear, an' he keeled over just as pretty—why, you never seen hanything like it in your whole life.
