only till the truth comes out,

THE RHINOCEROS.

THIS is an enormous creature, generally about twelve feet long. His skin is of a blackish colour. His nose is armed with a hard and solid horn; and, with this strong weapon, he is able to defend himself against the fiercest animal that dares to attack him. The body of the Rhinoceros, too, is defended by a skin so hard that scarcely any weapon can pierce it, excepting in the under parts. It is said, "that, even to shoot a full grown Rhinoceros, it is necessary to use iron bullets, as leaden

ones are sometimes flattened by strik. ing against the skin." This animal is generally of a quiet and harmless disposition, yet, when he is attacked, he becomes extremely dangerous. The eyes of the Rhinoceros are small, and his sight dull; but his sense of hearing is particularly good: he can also run with great swiftness; and, from his vast strength and hard coat, he can rush through the woods in such a way that nothing seems able to stop him, the smaller trees bending like shrubs as he passes them. The Rhinoceros is a native of India and several parts of Africa.

I beg of Thee, O God, to keep me from harm this day; keep me especially from every thing that is naughty and wicked. May I, in all things, seek

Grant that I may be, in every thing, just and honest; and careful always to speak the exact truth. Bless my pa. rents, my friends, and all mankind: bless me, I pray Thee, and make me a good child, now and for ever, through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.

Our Father, which art in heaven, &c. &c.
