One of the principal objects of attrac tion at the aquarium, in, Bloomfield street, is a female monkey that exhibits - an extra ordinary affection for rats. She is one of the “ Happy Family” belonging to the es tablishment, and soon after being placed there, conceived a fondness for a rat that was also a member of- the “ Family.”— Upon every occasion she could catch the rat she would hold it in her arms, fondling it as a mother does her affection. The rat soon began to like this kindness, and would remain for hours in the arms of its friend. Finally the monkey would notal low the rat from its arms a moment, even to feed, and at last the pet was actually, starved to death. The monkey met this bereavement much in the same manner as human parents' do the loss of their off spring who have died in consequence of over-fondness, with sobs and moans, and she would not be comforted. For twelve hours she held the dead rat to her breast, refusing all the time to eat, or to take notice of any other animals of the “ family.” At last' Mr. Cutting took the rat from her by force, and fearing that she would voluntarily starve herself to death, he placed three other rats in the cage. This addition to her “ family” brought the bereaved animal to her senses, and the care requisite to the government of these pets, takes ap all her time, and she is twice as cheerful as ever. She is nevep without one of them in her arms, and frequently fondles two of them at a time. But the new comers are not alto gether grateful for her attentions, and most frequently while se is holding one of them the others are eyeing her askance, from some distant, corner of the cage.

In after life you may have friends, fond, dear kind friends, but never will you, have the inexpressible love And gentleness lavished, upon you which none but a mother knows. Often do I sigh in my struggles with the hard uncaring world, for the sweet;deep security I felt* when of an evening; nest ling to her bosom, I listened to soipe quiet tale suitable to my age, readin her tend'd? untiring voice. ’ Never can I - forget' her sweet glances cait upon me when I ap peared to sleep; never' hey kiss of peace night I, Years hayo passed awaysipco tie laid her beside ‘my fetljor in the p|d churchyard; yet still her voice whispers from the grape, and her eye. watcb.es bvp* me as I,visit spots lopg since • halbvad to the memory of my mother.—i/auait/oy. : 9SP “ Rleaae taie half of this poor >pje?” said a pretty damsel to a wijrar *SwaiD, thO other night. * u No;. 1 thins you j I'wottld Amelia blushed and reared" tbe , 'gei3tlir ja&a to a papa" Hekt Jfldrg. * STILLNESS OP TIME.

Artemas Ward, the u grate-American Showman/ 1 relates, in his peculiar style, the following: , . '•> INBIDENT IN XJTIKYi In the Faul of 1856, 1 showed my show, in Utiky, trooly grate Sitty in the State of New York. J '. The people; gave' mo a cardyl Tecepshun. The press was loud in her preset 1 day as I was given a desoripshqn of my Beests and Snakes in my mfnal dowry style, what was my skorh & disgust to see a big burly feller walk up to the cage con taining-my wax figgers of the liOfd’s Last supper, and cease Judas Iscariot by*the feet and drag him out on to the ground. He then commenced fur to pound him as hard as ever he cood. “ What under the sun are you abowt V’ cried I. ' ' 4 Sez he,What did you bnpg this pus sylanermus cos her fur?" & he hit the wax figger another tremenjisblqw on the bed. Sez I, “ You egrejus as?, air’s a wax figger, a representation of' the false Pestle.” ii Sez he, “ That’s all very welltfuir you to •ay, but 1 tell you, old man, that Judas Ipcariot can't show hisself in TXtiky with impunerty by a darn site !” with that ob- Bervaßhun he kaved in Judassia s|ed.

To Win Friends, and ;!to Keep Them.—A true friend is something to be prized above riches, but few know how to treat a true friend when they find one.— They are too apt to demand top many fa vors, and to have too little regard for his comfort and feelings, and too much for their own. They are prone to exact what they are not willing td give, anjtd dictate terms where he should begjUioweJ the choice, even though it be knowfi that he will choose what is dictated. It is often more the manner than the matter —more thfi spirit than the act—that offends or pleases. Regard fdr the rights and privi leges, the feelings and sentiments,of oth ers, characterises every one who-is worthy of a true friend; ana as a general thing these friends are the truest and best when we win them without effort But it is plainly one thing to win and ano ther to keep them. The Way to Stop a PAPEif-rlf you wish to stop your paper, pay for it in full to the time when you cease taking it, as an honest man should do. Don’t sneak to the Postmaster, and tell him to send your n aper back u refused;” but send for your bill; deposit the. amount with. ! the Post master, and ask him to forward it; or what is a better way, gO to the office; of publi cation yourself, and pay your boniest dues like a man. Some people complain that they can’t stop a paper that they have once Subscribed for, but there is no difficulty in it, if they take the right way. Pay up all you owe, and then, if the paper is continued, contrary to your Orders, you are not liable for it. . Don’t undertake to cheat the printer out of his duo* whether it be ten cents or ten dollßrs. Comforts of Children .-~GaIl not that man wretched, who, whatever else he suffers as to pain afflicted, pleasure denied, has a child for whom he hopes, and on whom he dotes. Poverty may grind him to the dust, obscurity may cast its darkest mantle over him, the song' of the gay may be far from his own dwelling, his face may be unknown to his neighbors, and his voice may be unheeded among those with whom he dwells—even pain may rack his joints and sleep leave his pillow--~but he has a gem with which he wpuldmot' part for wealth defying' - computation,; for. fame filling a'world’s ear, for the luxury of the highest wealth, or -for the sweetest sleep that ever sat upon mortal’s eye.— Coleridge. !
