him as wicked asif.he was a stabbin a rut with
a hay-fork—but Jim, he oiitaaof the door like a
streak of Tie, and pulls it to after him, and fath
er pends old Bunker clean through -the pannel.
*• I'll chop you as fine as mince meat, you vil
lain,” said lie, “ if I ever catch you inside of my
door again ; mind what I tell you; you’ll string
for it yet,” ' *’>
Wall, Jim mode himself considerably scarce
after that: and I kinder thought be had given
up nil hope of Sal, and she of him. When one
night, a most particular uncommon dark night,
as I was coming home fttom Neighbor Dear
home’s, I hecred some one talking under Sal’s
winder. Wall, I stopped and listened, and I
swan to man, who should be near the ash sup
lin but Ji u Monroe, a tryiu to persuade Sal to
run off to Bbode Island to be married. It Was
all seltled atwcea ’em—and he was to cum with
a horse and shay to the gate and help her out
o” the winder, just at nine o'clock, about the
time she generally went to bed. Then be axes
her to reach her hind down for him to kiss
(lor •he was proper clever at soft swader.) and
off be sot, hut foot over the gate, in less than no
time.
Wall, I ciphered N ovcr this a spell, a calcula
ting bow 1 should reciprocate that trick tvith
him, and at lust i hit on the very checker. I
recollected father's word at partin’, “Mind,
Jim, you’ll swing for it yet,” and thinks I,
friend Jim, I’ll make that are prophe-ji come
true yet, I guess. So I jest slips out and bunds
down that ash sapliu’ under Sal’s winder, and
fastened it down with a notched pug and noose,
and put a jbig slip-knot just over the truck from
the path to the winder, so Jim couldn’t get there
■without tumblin’ into it.
Wall, jisc as the clock struck nine, says 1
Sally, hold this here hunk of twine a unnit,
till I wind a trifle on off, that's a dear crit
ter.” So she sot down her candle, and 1 begins
To wind and wind ever so alow, und drops the
ball ever now and then, so as to keep her down
stairs.
“Sam,” says she, “I Jo believe you won’t
wind that twine off to-night ; I vow 1 can't stay
no longer; I’m e’en a most dead asleep.
“ Hark !” Ecs I, whal’p that ? I’m sure I heard
something in the ash sapliu’, didn’t y.ou“ I
lucred tho geeso there, that’s all,” says she,
•* they come under tho winder at night.” 13ut
she looked scared enough, and says she, “I
vow, I’m tired of holding my arms out this way,
and I wou’t do it no longer,” und she thro wed
the hank on the floor. •• Wall'.” scs I, “stop li.
minit, till 1 send old Snowball out to see if any
body is there—perhaps the cuttle is got into the
stirs gardin’.
r'-- f
Old Snowball went out, though Sal said it
was no use, and soon came a runniu’ in with his
hair staudm’ on ecud. aud his eyes as big as a
soup plate, “ Oh, Oor Oriuighty 1” ses he, “Oh,
muss,-i I Oh, Miss Sally.” ses he. “What on
airth is the matter with you ?” shid Sully.—
“Oh Gor Ormighty, niassa I Jim Monroe, he
hanged himself on the ash suplin’ under Miss
■Sally’s winder!”
That shot was a settler: it struck poor Sully
right atween wind and water. She gave one
lurch and’fell kerslump, right down in another
faintin’ fit.
Wall, father. I thought.he’d fainted, too; he
was struck all of a heap and completely dum
fungled. “ I foretold it,” ses ho, *• the last
time 1 seed him, but I didn’t think it would
come so soon ; I told him he’d swing for it,vet.”
Wall, father seized old Bunker, and I took the
lantern, and but we went, and there was Jim,
enough, snared like a'rabbit, hung up by
one leg and his head down, kickin’ like mad.—
‘•Cut mo down, Sum,” snys he, •‘all the blood
in my body has swashed into my head; cut me
down quick, for heaven’s sake.”
“The Lord be praised," said father, ‘‘-the
poor sinufcrUs yet alive. Why, ns I’m alive it
snared, "too. Wall, now, Sain, this is
some of your doing, I guess, it's a clever trick,
too. but a little spec dangerous. ’
“ Cut me down! cut mu down I” said Jim,
“ don’t stand staring and jawing all night, for
I'm chokin’ with blood.”
Father kinder pitied the rascal, and givin’ the
rope a dtp with old Bunker, let him down in a
jiff. Jim looked streaked euuff, you may de
pend : he couldn't walk a bit. and he swore one
leg was six inches longer than the other ' He
begged for heaven's sake if might be kept a se
cret; be said be would run tiip'Stntc if ever he
got wiml.;iie was sure lie couldn’t stand it.
“ It will bo one while, I guess.” ses father,
“afore you’re able to i-tber to run or stand, but
if you’H give me your hand, and promise to give
over your evil ways. I-will kecp.it a secret, a id
you shall ho welcome to my house once more.”
Wal, Jim.promised it; it was till settled ; and
things grew as calm ns a pan of milk
old, and ’fore a year was over Jim was as steady
a* man us minister Hopewell, jand was married
to our Sal.
Nothin’ Was ever said about the snare until
after the woddin'. When the minister had fin
ished uzin’ the blessin’, father goes up to Jim,
and givin* him a rousin’ slap on the shoulder,
ses be, “ Jim Monroe, you Ve got the snare

When monkeya arw in ckpli'rily. they always
endeavor to be noticed by miters, partly for
vanity’s soke, and portly becanssr they hop* fur
certain donations 'of nuts,: apples and other
[dainties. Their jealpusy is easily exertedond
knows' no bounds If they Imagine their rival ia
getting mure than hie fair;- share' of the good
things. I waa once awitdeaaofa most absurd
scene of jealousy, ' . [fyT i '
A few years ago one ofWombwell’s well
known collections visited Oxford, wnd, as usual,
exhibited a large allowance of monkey a. These
little animals exercised all titeip ingenuity U>
attracting the notice of the visitors, in order to
obtain some of the. huts, cakes, &o„ which he
saw the elephaut receiving*. i'Uue particularly
lively monkey had obtained considerable emi
nence in bis art, and used to monopolize no !
i small portion of the various delicacies. Sud
denly he failed to procure j b}s* usual supplies,
and saw, with great indignation, that must of
tiie visitors, particularly the ladies, had turned
their ulleutiuu to the next cage. This of course
excited his jeatousy and curiosity, and exercised
all his endeavors to discover, the cause of bis
desertion. At length by diht of great perse
verance, he contrived to puke out a knot in the
board which divided their partition, mid on
looking through, discovered that the inhabitant
of tno adjoiuiuiug tenement hud lately been
blessed with u baby. That unfortunate baby
monkey instantly the object of his un
remitting persecution. Ilf watched it through
his knot hole—he put Lis hand round the cor
ner and tried to pinch the poor animal—-he
picked the* keeper’s pock;et ..of the food that
ought to have gone to his rivab—uud. in fact,
spent his time in devising* new annoyances.—
The mother all this time Wfis perfectly acquaint
cd with the evil designs of her neighbor, and
carefully kept her baby away from the danger
ous corner where the monkey’s hand was con
tinually intruding itself. Iu a short time the
littio one was suffered to go .about by himself,
and its untiring enemy redoubled his exertions.
At .as* the time of revenge arrived. One
day he wns'observed to pay more attention to
commence that peculiar [Vibrating movement
whtcii generally prefaces ,ii monkey’s mischief.
Suddenly his bye was withdrawn from the knot
-1 hole, his hand thrust through like lightning,
j and withdrawn, bringing with it the tail of the
unfortunate little monkey! on the other side of
the partition, lie fixed als feet firmly on each
side of the knot-hole, and tugged away at his
rival’s tail, nltVruately ; sc|;cauiing with delight
and chattering with fear at (he punishment
which he knew would lotlijiyr The poor baby
monkey-on being assan.ted in such an unex
pected manner, set up a most heartrending out
cry, on hearing which her! mother flew toiler
assistance, and seeing berjiodspring apparently
fastened to the wall, seize-} it by its anus, auij
pulled with nil her might iii er Jer to release it.
The aggressor chatted, th® mother remonsira
t.d, and the baby seamed until the outcry
drew the attention of a keeper, at .whose ap
proach the aggressor loosed his hold pu his vie-’
tim’s tail, and'crouched into the furthest corner
of life cage, where he displayed exceeding inge
nuity in uvuidiug the cuts of the keeper's whip.
An Old Maid in si] Sleeping Car.
The Milwaukee Kews tells the following inci
dent, which was witnessed by a frieudin a
sleeping car on the Detroit and Milwaukie
road : The car was nearly full, and in hue of
the compartments was a maiden lady, neither
fat nor fair, but forty, who was wonderfully ex
ercised at her close proximity to some naughty
men, who were much amused at her nervous-'
ness. Looking about her with side-long glan
ces, and shrugs of disgust,- 1 she finally mustered
courage to put on her s* ulght;cap,’ r which ope
ration was almost too much for her. ’This feat
accomplished, she again cjjst frightened glances
at her suiTouudcrs, obviodstyalVaid to proceed
further At this juncture the conductor came
in, whom she imiueoiately button holed, and, in’
whispers heai'ii in the remotest part of the cur,
she indignantly interrogated him to know if
there were no curtains “ in tljfe house.” “ Cer
tainly, ma'am.’’ said the affable conductor, who
hastened to procure some.iat which she appear
ed exceed.n c ly grateful. "They Were soon drawn,
and she proceeded to make'herself as comforta
ble as the nature of the liccumstaucos allowed.
But she was destined tj enjoy very little re
pose, for every new coincfin pursuit of quarters,
who passed her cnb, would inquiringly draw
her curtain to see if it Was- occupied, when a
smothered scream would!.issue forth, which
caused ah instantaneous dropping of “ the rag.”
when the persecuted damsel would" subside for a
moment, only to be aroused on the arrival of
some new place-hunters As this process 'con
