HANSHaE Aarn'. s rae., The baby lies in her mother's arms, Quiet, and aile, and thin; But the little head is onse more raised As larry comes bonndiLg in. A wooden horse in his hand he holds, I)vrk gray, wi'h a long blak nmane; And an eager, longing look lights up Ihe pale little lace again. " No, baby dear, I will hold it close, uat I cannot give it to you ; I'm afraid you would let it fail. and break My horse sa' pretty and new." But the pale little eager face still pleads, Outstretched is the small haul still!- lie tanods for a moment, then hb Ids it out, ' I'll lend it to the baby, I will.'' That day is past, and he fnds it again H bere the hbaby had thrown it aside; tier coral red. with its silver bells, btill fast to the bridle tied. There's a touch of paint off the bright greun stick, And a chip off the horse' ear; But oh! not that to the by's blue eye Brinag the quickly gathering tear. And while Harry lives he will still be glad That he lent her ise horse that d ly; For the baby has gone where never again Can she ask with his toys to play. 'It ,er , Riasr.

Ide is always ready to do ennything-when his Vite is. He is a kind uv spy In the household sad lz treated as such by the whole fmimlly. The ser vants lauf at him and the children don't fear him. He is as fierce as an old hen setting oa one egg, and just about as dangerous. his wife married him, not ont of love, but out ov pity; and pity never changes iuto respek:, bht generally into disgust. T77e (;terur,,s Man.- ;enero.lty in an ias:iukt a kind ov natral crook-a weird chiid ov the heart. It is diffrent from profusion; profusion is most alwus the decoy duck of vanity. Generoslty tz dilffrent from charity ; charity is the impulse ov reason. it is ditfrent froim jn.tiss; j-stins is sixtl en conces to the nonnd, and no inor"t. Generosity iz something more than j s'ihs, an I sumthirhg less than profusion; it 1z the g,,d a n'oi dou without being able tow give enny reason for it. If a man it alwus generous he will alwai be right, or will have a good excuse for what seems tew be wrong. Geerosaiy Iz bravery, and it iz truth; no one ever saw a gentrous man who was a coward or a lier. Oeeroslty snmtimes may lank prudenee, but It never lacks faith, and faith has won hulier laurels than prudence ever did. l'he generous man chastece his gifts with the asturance that the giver iz as happy in the gift as the receiver is. lie takes he flust swaller out ov the dipper. and smacking his lips, insists apon your drinking the balance awl up. Poverty hasz no power over generosity, enny more than it has over love. This Ii my idea ov the kind ov generosity that I ann writing about. The BIlak Ali: emigrated to this free and pins kuntry about 200 years foermerly, in the loner story of a vessl ; he wua kindly furnished with a free ride, anr sum rice and water for vl:tles. Immeglately upon bhiz arrival he commenced bitsness, for other folks, on our Eastern coast, ad had plenty tew do. Be was very ekonomleal In hit habit. of cloths, wearing but iu, and those aeldom made out or ceaseymere. He ockasionally chaened his lokation. moving into an adjoining State, but la these jitureys he wnz alwasa kindly furnished with a guide, so that there ens no danger or his getting lost. In these trips he seldom took his family with him; they were either allowed to remain at hum, or made excuraloas in search of work tow other States, under tihe guidaense of experienced guiles. Once In a while the Blak Man would astray awty far to the cold nod bitter North, and git cruelly loot. Hlls gluidea would mourn for him then, and carch for him, but his family soon got reconciled tew the losa. Evr}body sed. whare he lived, thlat he was the happleat critter that had ever b;n di.kovered vet, with nothing tew do but work. and a kind g i !e tew watch over him awl the time, and mourn for him when he got lost. But the Blak Man 1I a very phoilish critter. Atter 200 yeasa or thes hliass, he grew cro.s tow hiz guides and wouldn't follow the guides, and the honaequentz its that the gnides h ve ,t moul, and I am afrade that the BHlak Man will have tow take care or himself now. - Hie will find it verry different frnm what- it was before. He has got tow edukate his owns yuong ones now, and learn them bhow tow spel corrktly, one ev the most dit i'ult things in the world: and he bat got tew vote. and keep htz familee together, and pay when be rides in the street kars. I am afraid the baak man hbaz made a mistake; if he has. ii iz a bad one, for his guides never wil tak hinm into their hands agin--uo, never ! Tbhey are mad, and don't like the way the blak mae quit them, when they wnas driv with btlzzines and after they had tuk so much care uv him foe so many years. 1 feel sorry for the guides; they alwua seemse tow hey a great interest in tim blak man but they are mad now, and I d n't ku iw ez blame them much, for blak ingratitude iz the poorest hkind uty pay. a It perhaps wold be well esnuff for me teow stalit for the benetit uv new beginners, that thels blal coan tlormerly resided in Afrirb, before ha cut here to look for work.

In tcf4 much doubt existed in regard to the re election of Mr. Lincoln., and the White House was benleged by all gindes of politicians. Mrs. Lin coln was often blamed for having a certain class tit men around her. "I' have an object In view, Ellzabeth," she said to me lan reference to this matter. " In a political canvas itis policy to cultivate every ele went of strength. These men have indluenoe.aind we require itlinence to re-elect Mr. Lincoln.

Lincoln sometImes feared that the p ,h ti- lans would get hold of the parti ulars of her debts. and use them in the presidentlal campaign a.aiant her hnaband; and when this thought or- nrred to her, she was almost crazy with six.ety and fear.

All the c rresp lud elrte s given in full, and the whole disgracefil affair is paraded at length. MK. LINCOLN'S PETS. Mr. Linroln was fond of pets. He had two poutls that knew the souud of his voice, atJl wnuel tie called them they would come bounding to h-s side. In the warm bright day, he and fad would soimetimes play in the yard with these goata for an hoar at a time. One Saturday aftcrnon I went to the White Honee to dress Mrs. I.tlouln I had nearly completed riy task woen the presi dent cane in. It was a bright day, and walking to the window, he looked down into tihe yard, smiled, and turniug to me, asked : 'Madam Elizabeth,Jyou are loand of pets, are you not'?" '(I yes, sir," I answered. " ' ell. come bhre and look at my two goats. I bieli'e they are tile kindest and best g.ate in the world. See bow they eifl the clear air, and seip sod play in the sunshbine. whw! what a jonp'," Le exclaimed, as one of the goats made a I fty ulri.g. " lMadamue El zabeth, did you ever before ee oach an active goau? " Ilusing a morment, he countinoned, " lie fetds on my bounty, and jumps with joy. Do you think we could call him a bhoonty jnmlter? Iit I tlttler the b ,onlty jmper. bMy goat Is far abvre him. I would rather wear bls horns and hairy coat through life, than de mean myself to the level of the man who plun ders the matiOnal treasury ii the name of patriot i-m. The man who enlists into the service for a cinslideration, and deserts the moment he reoeives his money but to repeat the play, is bad enough; but the men who manipulate the grand machine, asr d who simply make thIe bounty jumper their scent in an outrageous fraud, are far worse. They are beneath the worma that crawl in the dark t lacesof earth." T tIIRATH OF LITTLU WILI.It LINCOLN Is written shbnt in a very simple and affecting manner.

B.ker's Yew Beek e Abe r ianil Af er walking about two mies, we noeteed a heard of hippopotami Is a pool belew a rapid; this was surrounded by rocks, except upea one cde where the rush of water had thrown up a bank of petbles anu rand. Our old Nepteae did r.ot condesc'nd to Weatuw the slightest atta :ion when 1 pointed out these animale; they were too wide awake; but he immediately quit the river's led, and we followed him quietly behind the trinI e of bushes upou the border, from which we carefullv examined the water. About halt a n.le below this spot, as we clambered over the ii.tervening rocks through a gorge which formed a powerful rapid, I observed in a small pool j~at below the rapid, an imntenre head of a hippopo tarua cloue to a pereteuoicular rock that formed a wail to the river, abhult six feet ab.ive the aur tace. I p luted out tie I ppo to ild Abo DI)o, who had not seen it. At once the gravity of the old Arab disappeared, and the energy of thu lnter was exhibited as he motioned us to re main, while be ran nimbly behind the thick ecieen of bushes for about a hundred and fifty yards below the spot where the hippo was u:n cor.ciously basking, with his ogiy heal above the surface. Plunging into the rapid t,rrent. the veeran hunter was carried soto d;vn'ice down the strearo, but breasting the powerful curr-nt he landed open the rocks on the opposite ade. a:d retiring to some diataice from the river he q:,ickly advanced towards the spot bcneath wh c tte hippop,tarunu was lying. I had a fine v:ew of the scene, as I was lying cnceta!cd exacily oppo-i e vhe hb'p', which hd now diaappeared beceath the water. Abou i)1 a ealthily approached the edge of rook be teath v hit b he had r percted to 'ee the head of the a.il ical; h:- long siutnwy arnm was raiked, wi:h tiih harpooin r, Ady to strike as he carefully advn 'ed. At ieng-h he reachd' the edge of the perpienhi--i icr rock; the iu, p", had vautbed, but far from exhlb;itirg uerpri.e, the old Arab reulioned s naud ii g on the ah irp ledge, unchanged ino attitu fe. No figure of bronze could have been more ri id titan tiat of the oid river king, as he s:) ,i ere.t ui on the rock wih the left ol t It advn meJ. ar lhe harpoon poined in his reedy right hand above Li. heau, white in the left: ie held the lnoe c',ils (f rope attached t the ambatch buoy.

His usually stera fJ-at.r'ci re l,ixed into a grim rniie of delight this was one ti thise nimients when the gra:riei pridle of the I tnter rewa'ds hits f. r any rieks. I conatol I ed lint upon his dex: rity : bhit ma " recnlisile to, be done. I proposed to cr:,as the river and to follow upon the tracks of the hip)popotamusc, as I imsagined that the bony and rope woul cat ch int the thiek bush: but the old bunooter gently laid his eat d upon my arm ant pointed up the bed of the aiver, explaining that the hippo would certainly return to the water after a abort interval. In a few ominttes later, at a distance ,f nearly hi t a mile, we observed the hippu eioerge from .tI e jingle stld aiert.d s' fill trot o 'lie be I it the liver, making dltr'ct for the first rocky pi, I in which we had noticed the herd ,of hip:;oi, t:mt. Accompanied by the o!d Hiowarti (hi~po Ih ~ler,) we walked qni'k!y towirI the ottt. lit ex p'atr:edio me that I imust sh lit the htrroni,' t hlpo, fh we should not he able to secure him In thle usul method by rope, : nie irly all our tmen wre absent from camp, dvposing of the deal e ,p.hants. tULon reaching the pool, which was about a thunidred ard thirty yards in dia'neer we were inlmediately greeted by the hippo, which snorted slad roated as we approached, but quickly dived, anzd tIe buoyant flat ran along the sucfa.-e, di recting his course in the sarne ianuer as the c uk of a trimmer with a pike upon the hook,. everal tes ier he appeared, but as Le invariably faced us, I could not obtain a favorable sho'; I theref re sent the old hunter round the pool, and he, swi:n n ttrg the river, advanced to the opposite side and attracted the attention of the hippa, c'auasin him co inn ediately turn toward him. This fal.red uie a goid chance, and I tired a steady shot he Ihd the ear, at about seventy yards, with a singe htlreled rifle. As usual with hlppopotami, whether dead or alive, hlie disappeared beneath the water at the shot. The crack of the Ia'l and tie abacence of any splash f oun the bi I 't, toll me that he was hit; the ansbatch tlat remairied terfectly stationary upon the surface. I ws·: 'hed i tor arcme minutee; it never moved. Several hendl of hippopotaul alppeared and anoihed in d flerent directions, but the float was still; It marked the spot where the grand old bull lay dead beheath. I shot another hippo. that I thougzht must he l-kewiae dead; and, taking the time by my watih, I retired to the bshade of a tree with Htlbsan,whle Aaiji All iand the old hutter returned to camp fur assiaetadee in men and knives, etc. In a little more than an hour and a half, two objects like the backs of turtles appeared above the surface; these were the flanks of the two hippos. A short time afterward the men arrived, and regardless of crocodiles they swam toward the bodies. One was towedl directly to the slhore hy the rope attached to t'le harpoon, the oher was secured by a long line and dragged to the I at k of clean pebbles. I measured the bull that was harpooned ; it was forteen feet two inches from the upour lip to the extremity of the tail: the head was three leet one inch from the front of the err to the edge of the hlip in a straight line. The harpootn was sticking in the oape of the neck. having penetrated about two and a halt inches beneath the hide; this is about an inch and thlree-quarters thick upon the back of the neck of a bull hippopotamus. It was a magniticent specinien, with the largest tuo-ks I have ever seen; the skuill is now in my hball tin England. Although the hippopotamue is generally harm. less, the solitary old bulls are eometimes ex. tremely vicions, especially when in the wa'er. I have frrequently known them charge a boat, and I have myself narrowly escaped beilong upset in a c-toe ly the attaik of one of these creatures, pa il mottLe slightest !rnwvication. Tte females are extremely sh) and harnleas, and they are most uatflectionatoe moth, r: the only instanceso I hore known of the female attcktig a man have been thoea in which her calf h-ve been stolen. To the Arahs they are extremely valueble, yield trg. in addition to a large quaoti:y of excellent tiebh, about two Londred pounds of fat, and a hide that will produce about two hundrel co.,rbatches. d or camel whips. I have never shot these useful creatures to waste; every morsel of tlesb has Sbeen stored either by the na'ives or for oar own use : and whenever we have had a good supply of a Lteip.e or girafe mat, I have avoided firing a t uho: at the hippu.
