A "Moakey’s Affection for Bats.
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.

A Mother's Love.— Children, look in
those eyes, listen to that dear voice, notice
the feeling of even, a single touch that is
bestowed upon you by that gentle baud!
Make much of it while you'have that
most precious of all good gifts—a loving,
mother. Read the unfathomable love of
those eyes; the. kind anxiety of that tone
and look, however slight your pain. 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*

the memory of my mother.—i/auait/oy.

STILLNESS OP TIME.
Time swings hi* aeytho o’«r ragged ground*.
And ipow* bis iwatb’mid chains and crowns,

And secretly he bean hie wounds.
On Ule’s great fluid of battle.
Eo soft he treada upon : the mould.
So silently hie “tale is told,”
We scarcely know we’re growing old.
So silent is his march below,
Throughout this world of “ and woe,”
Bis footsteps fall so gentle,
That oven age forgets there’s snow
Upon his dastjr mantle;
And soil he treads his daily route,
We quite forget the seer devout—
Forget, our sands are running out.
Day steals t? night with noiseless car.
And passes like a shooting star;
And while this ‘‘cell is shuffled,”
We scarcely, feel our pulses jar,
S* deep the heart is muffled.
The wheels move round as noiselessly
As boats trail down the summer sea,
• “ Where heaven is all tranquility.”
The mighty engine speeds its way,
While on and on from day to day,
As fresh us in life's morning,
Unto oar childhood’s dreaming May
We seem again returning;
Again the summer wreath we twine,
Where fields with roses are a-ehine.
As erst we did ere “ auld long syne.”
And it is well that thus it is,
In such a changing world os this;
1 for, did Time’s ocean murmur,
Or did we hear the crater bias,
Our life would hare no summer.
Our life would be a faithless show,
Dike roses buried under snow.
Where the polar whirlwinds blow.
O Timet our old, our secret friend,
When thou, at last, dost lowly bend,
To east aside thy mantle—
When thou dost hero pronounce the end,
OI wilt thou speak us gentle 7
01 wilt then as kindly seem.
And make the change a careless dream,
Dike transit down a’summer stream?

a big burly feller walk up to the cage con
taining-my wax figgers of the liOfd’s Last

feet and drag him out on to the ground.
He then commenced fur to pound him as

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.—
