THE GUINEA PIG.
A Creature That, From one Point of view,
. Stands Absolutely Alone.
The seoretary of the Selborne Society of
England, an "association of Iovers of wild
nature, has lately written an account of the
guinea pig. This creature, the writer says,
stands abeolutely alone, from one point of
view. Do what you will, it is impossible
to make a friend of him. Titmice, robins,
squirrels, wild ducks, cuckoos, even rats
and mice, have been found amenable
to kindness. Even Roman snails, Egyptian
beetles and butterflies have been taught to
reoo;nize their masters and show a friendly
interest in them. The guinea pig is an
absurd little animalfor a number of
reason's, and one of site most remarkable
absurdities about him is his name. He is
not a pig of any kind,nor any relation to the
pig, and he has nothing to do with Guinea.
He ie a kind of ret and his native home is
South America. Why he should have been
called.a "pig" no one knowe, unless it was
on account of the slight grunting noise
that he makes ; and the word "guinea" in
his case may be a corruption of Gnina,
where the animal has sometimes been
found; though it was first brought from
Brazil. His real name falba "cavy" and
by that he 'should be palled. In .his wild
State he is quite differently colored from
the domesticated animal and lacks the'
spotting of white, blank and tawny color
which' the tamed cavy often has. It used
to be commonly supposed that the guinea
pig drove away ordinary rats, or rather
caused them to go away on acoount of
their extreme dislike of him, but even this
negative merit is denied to the poor little
animal No one, however, is able to deny
hie gentleness and snbmiaeiveneee.—Youth's

might steal in and obtain it without ran-

Bat as he looked through the window
something stayed hie feet ; there was a fire
in the grate within—for _the night wag

brought out in startling effect the pictures
on the hearth. There in the soft glow of
the firelight knelt hie child at her mother's
feet, ite email hands clasped in 'prayer, its
fair head bowed ; and, as its rosy lips
whispered each word with childish distinct-

the words which he himself had so often
uttered at his own mother's knee.

The child went on and completed her

he could not hear the mother'as she said

" God—bless p&pa—and please—send
him-home—sober. Amen."
