THE SOUTHERN WORLD, NOVEMBER 15,1882. 29 “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. lu n Menagerie. 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.
