THIRD BOOR. 
The moon thro’ your curtain shall cheerfully peep, 
Uer silver beams dance on your eyes; 
And mild evening breezes shall fan you to sleep, 
Til bright morning bids You arise.

“ An elephant,” said Mr. Barlow, “ is the largest 
land animal that we are acquainted with, It is 
many times thicker than an 0x, and grows to the 
length of eleven or twelve feet; its strength is 
prodigious; but it is at the same time so very 
gentle, that it rarely does hurt to any thing, even 
in the woods, where it resides. It lives on the 
fruits and branches of trees, But what is most 
zingular about its make is, that instead of a nose, 
it has a hollow piece of flesh which grows over its 
mouth, to the length of three or four feet; this is 
called the trunk of the elephant; and he is capable 
of bending it in every direction. When he wants 
to break off the branch of a tree, he twists his 
trunk round it, and snaps it off directly. When 
he wants to drink, he lets it down again into the 
water, sucks up several gallons at a time, and then 
dev’ ‘ne the end of it back, discharges it into his 
Mot””  “Rutifheisso larne and strong,” said
