THE SOUTHERN WORLD, NOVEMBER 15,1882.

“Here’s something for you, dear,” she
said, as Jenny came in with quiet footfall,
and she placed the little pie in the child's
hands. Jenny’s face flushed, her eyes light
ed up, and then, to Sarah’s surprise, grew
dim with tears, and the sensitive mouth
quivered; but only for a moment.
•‘Thank you, thank you," she said eagerly.
“It’s just like the little pies mamma used to
make tor me.”
“Ah! that’s it,” thought Sarah. “Eben's
right, to be sure. She wants ‘mothering.’”
And she drew the little girl to her side and
kissed, her. The dimpled arms were around
her neck in an instant and the kissed re
turned, and through the day Jenny seemed
to feel happier and more at home.
Bedtime cam-::, and Jenny, nestling in the
white pillow, looked up with wondering
eyes as Mrs. Ruthford sat down on the side
of the bed, and taking the little hands in
hers, said kindly, “Shall I tell you a story,
dear?”
8he listened with eager interest to the
story of the Highland Shepherd’s child, lost
in the mountain mist, and guarded and fed
by his faithful dog. And when Mrs. Ruth
ford bent down and kissed her, the white
arms again wound impulsively around her
neck, and Jenny said, for the first time,
“Good-night, mamma!”
Sarah was startled, the name seemed so
sweet.
“I see now," she thought. “Eben is right.
It is mother love and care the child needs,
and shall have.”
Mrs. Ruthford kept her resolution. She
did not,, could not, at once feel the intense
devotion of a mother. But she was no long
er content with feeding and clothing her
charge. She tried to satisfy the hungering
and thirsting for affection which she had
learned to meet and recognise. She sought
Jenny’s happiness, and in due time she had
her reward. Love in her own heart, grate
ful love in her child’s, strengthened day by
by day. Jenny grew gradually happier, till
her laugh and song rang out as merrily as
Eben wished. Aud her presence seemed
like sunlight in their home. And when a
year had passed, neither of the worthy
couple would any more have thought of part
ing with her than if she had been theirs by
birth. They knew no difference in the home
tie. “It all dates back,” said Sarah to her
husband, os they sat talking one evening
after Jenny went to bed, “all this happiness
dates back to the first saucer-pie. Jenny
seemed from that time to believe I . loved
her."—Selected.

with uplifted trunk, she rushed through the
scattering and affrighted crowd to the cam
el's side, as if, with her mighty strength, to
stop immediately any further punishment
being inflicted upon her favorite friend.
The trip across the Gulf was a very stormy
one, the elephant particularly becoming very
seasick, and it was quite amusing to watcli
the five tons of elephant fat, as she gently
reclined on her sides, keep motion with the
rolling ship. The elephant looked appeal
ingly to tiie camel, and then to her keeper,
as much as to say, ‘ Please take me off, I am
so sick.”
Sunday night before Christmas, at Cincin
nati, while the animals were in a temporary
building, awaiting the fitting up of their
regular quarters for the winter, the white
camel, by some flnaccountable circumstance,
rolled over and broke its neck.
Tbe grief of the elephant over the death
of her friend was very great. For several
hours after daylight the old elephant would
try to place the dead camel on its feet, but,
failing in this, would raise its head up gen
tly and tenderly lay it down, as much as to
say, “What does all this mean?” About
noon the animals were removed to the Op
era House building, when Mr. Robinson
found it necessary to call out his fighting
brigade to coerce the elephant from its late
companion. Clubs, pitchforks, wagon
tongues, neck yokes, guy stakes, and, in
fact, all the convenient material for a big
fight, was found necessary to impress upon
the majestic creature that she must move,
and the remains of the defunct camel must
be carted away.
During the afternoon and night this pon
derous beast exhibited tbe greatest uneasi
ness, lashing her trunk furiously, butting
her head against the substantial stone foun
dations, threatening every one who came
within her reach with utter annihilation,
and exerting might and main to crush the
steel chains that riveted her huge legs to tbe
great posts, two feet in diameter, imbedded
eight feet in the ground, and of sufficient
strength to secure a half-dozen steamboats.
Her efforts to free herself, or break some
thing in the attempt, were accompanied by
deep, coarse, guttural sounds, resembling the
combined roar of a caravan full of hungry
lions, which were occasionally varied to a
shrill, trumpeting snort, while her keeper
was kindly and vainly endeavoring to pacify
her by offering such consolation as tempting
morsels of choice bales of blue-grass hay and
sacksof oats, which she disdainfully tossed
to the further extremities of the building.
—Growing World.
Some years ago old John Robinson, of cir
cus fame purchased in New York city a
white double-humped camel. This animal,
with none other of its kind, accompanied
Mr. Robinson’s migratory zoological exhibi
tion to various parts of tbe United States
for two years, finishing the tour at Cincin-’
hati late in the fall of 1869. The animals
were scarcely secured in their winter quar
ters when, to the astonishment of old John,
an addition was made to the menagerie in
tbe form of a calf camel, its mother dying a
few days afterward.
Mr. Robinson and his family were par
ticularly interested in the little stranger.
With great care and their careful nursing,
the youngster flourished and grew up the
finest and largest camel on this continent.
Mr. Robinson’s big elephant, Mary, exhib-
itcd an early attachment for this particular
animal, and the two were, for the past four
years,‘inseparable companions, manifesting
tbeir fondness for each other by peculiar
caressing, bearing a resemblance to kissing,
affording sightseers in the menagerie, par
ticularly the young country lads and lasses,
a great deal of amusement. A great many
funny incidents are related of the two, and
the pranks and tricks they have played,
their sleepy and sometimes not over-watch
ful keepers.
At one time in Galveston, Texas, John
Robinson, Jr., was shipping his great exposi
tion to Cincinnati, and, in loading the ani
mals on board of the steamship, it was found
necessary to use alittleargumentnotexactly
compatible with the humane Bergh’sldea of
“kindness to one another.” The white cam
el, particularly, got its back up, and would
not drop on his kness and crawl in tbe small
opening organgway of tbe ship. The more
this demure and Quaker-looking animal was
whipped, tbe louder he would bellow, and
the more frantic efforts he would make to
free himself, from bis supposed persecutors.
His cries of distress brought to the rescue
the elephant, which bad been quietly stand
ing on the docks, accepting such little acts
of charity as apples, cakes and candy from
the idlers gathered to see her off. Suddenly!

THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR
FOR NOVEMBER.
Truly we can say each visit of this standard South
ern Agricultural Journal gives Increaacd pleasure-
We emphasize the fact of Its being a Southern publi
cation, because the prosperous North sustains many
valuable agricultural papers, and It Is meet and
proper that Southern farmers should not only have a
journal devoted to their Interests, but should have
one that Is Hint-class In every respect'. Aside from
the fact that lla columns, richly laden with informa
tion on all subjects connected with agriculture, Is In
valuable to the progressive farmer. It should be
maintained because It Is tho exponent and represen
tative of the Southern farmer.
Tbe November number containa an Interesting des
cription of Col. Peters'Jersey Herd and Ills '• Thirty
Years' Experience on a North Georgia Stock Farm."
His success demonstrates that such ventures will pay
south as well as North, and every farmer should read
theartlcle. *'Ur^en Manuring" or how lo run down
a farm, la an article alone worth Ihe price of sub-
•crlptlon. “Tbe Fence and Stock Laws of Georgia,”
are only a few of the the interesting articles.
Its corps of contributors
Isa jflendid and Important feature of Tun Culti-
VATon, and the practical thoughts of that depart
ment alone la worth the subscription price.
Or. Jones' “ Thoughts for the Month.” and his two
full pages of answers to Inquiries are of Inestimable
value.
The publishers have shown enterprise ahead of
anything ever attempted In the South-Illustrating
the letters of tlielr correspondents. “ J. O. A.,” of
Charlotte, N. C., contributes an articles on " Hillside
Ditching,” and the publishers have made designs to
Illustrate bis methods. Mr. Louis Dubroc, of Vicks
burg, Mississippi, lias written another article on
“Straw and Fodder Barracks," and Messrs. Harrison
* Co., bad their artist to draw sketches to Illustrate
the cheap building employed. And so it la to the
end. Improvement Is the wntchword of the publish
ers. "Will they be sustained ? As a matter of course.

as was done a year ago and the volume la constantly
