:v-.-: ; i P. 1 .1 i I V lbe .Monkey ami the Itabaj. Some time ago au English larty who was living at Kingston, Jamaica, took passage on a homeward-bound vessel, taking her two-monlh-old infaut with ber. A large, strong, active monkey which was on board took a violent fancy to the child. The monkey would sit all day long watcbias the mother as she rocked aud fondled ber little one, and follow her from place to place. Several times the animal tried unsuc f ully to get the baby. One beautiful afternoon a distant sail attracted the attention of all on board, aud the captain politely offered;his glass to the lady. She placed her baby on the sofa, and had just rained the g'ass to her eve, when a err was beard. Turning quickly, she beheld a sailor in pursuit of the monkey, which bad graeppd the infant firmly with one arm, and waa nimbly climbing the shrouds. The mother fainted as the animal reach ed the top of tne mainmast. The ciptain was at his wit.s end. He feared if he sent n sailor in pursuit ibe monkey would drop the baby, and es cape by leaping from mast to roast. The child in the meanwhile was beard to cry, but the fear that the monkey waa hurting it waa dispelled by seeing the animal imitate the motions of the mother, dandling soothing, and endeav oring to hush it to sleep. After trying in many ways to lure the anima! down, tho captain finally order ed the men below, and concealed him self on the deck. Iu a moment, to his great joy, he saw the monkey carefully descending. leaching the deck. It looked cautiously around, advanced to the sofa, and placed the baby upon it. The captain restored the frightened infant to its mother, wno waa soon sat isfied that her darling had escaped injury. Among the Miecp. The wis'iom of providing shelter against cold storms and chilly winds has born made apparent, ven in tie more southern exposures. The old idea that Pheep do cot require dritk and that their wool will kfeptliem warm without shelter !san exploded one. Ex tra cate duiing tlie winter season in way of both feed nnd sheUer pays in the long run, and must be given if best re sults iu wool and mutton aro obtained. Iier iu mind tho fact that sheep thrive better in dry thai; in wet sea sons.-and provide when it ii practica ble, high, dry locations for winter quar ters. I-.iw damp pUces are bad for all animal, and especially for sheep. Oa the sutject cf feed for sheep, par ticularly the animals that are to have lamia in the early spring Kitrtrf JYV c has given some sound advice, in which occurs the following : Cot tonseed is not a desiraole food for any breeding anima!, for the sullciett rea son that its t fleets tncourage abortion. Again, ilnf foo la are not suitable for sheep, which ma3'.icate their food most thoroughly, torn and other carrona ceous foods are also not good for sheep except in sra.!l quantities. Sheep are warmly clothrd ami do not n quire so much carbonaceous food as other ani mals do. They are kept for wool and lambs, chielly, and as the waul contains 1" pvr ceut. of nitrogen and the la rubs needs special provision for its llesh rd bone, foods x.ch in nitrogen are r quir ed. Hence, clover, as pasture and hay, eho'.iM be the mini feedi:i. for slieep. and bran and oats, with a little corn n ly, should furnish tie grain fooo. Three pouLds of good clover hav and four ouucea i f mixed bran, oats ar d buckwheat would keep a sheep of 100 pounds' weight in gord condition, along with as much os.t and psa straw as it will eat. Tobacco for ajlialky Horse. uit-i a crowd of boy3 and men stopp ed the other day to watch a balky bore. "Hit hini with a club," said one. "Try mon- l suasion on fciT)," waa the voice ol' another. "Whispi-r outs in his ear and he will go," remarked a third. The owner belabored the animal with h;3 whip, jerked on tht tits, r,d thn trkd t co-ix thi refractory beast, but all to to purpose ; tbe beast refused to mcwe. A quarter of an bour later a little old man, whose face resembled parchment, approached the group, aid, addressing the owner of the immovable piece of horse flesh, said : "Horsti balked ?" "'es," rerliel the disconsolate own er. ' I'au't mafc him bulje au iuch ?'' "Not an inch." "Tri-d verything ?' "Everything I kuoty cf." "Tried toUtcco "No ; I never beard that re mtdy." The hitle old man took a p'tig of t.,e weed from hij pocket, cu; i ff a gener ous piece aud olTsred it to the hois. Th animal accepted the weed, and. in ntanily foicettinf hi3 ugliness walked oil w ith nit even as much as a sugges tion from his owner. licatlitn Idol. It is stid to be a fact that the idols worhiped ty the heathen of India and Africa are now all manufactured in England, and that there is a handsome pioCtin the trade-that the commer cial value of brass and iron gods tent out in her Majesty, ships to the heath en lands far exeeeds trat of the It.bres and tracts and volumes of Watt's hymns aent ctt in the same cargo.

A young fellow who bad been cod Jlei into a nuisance by a foolish motbe "took a notion" one summer to go oT on a whaling trip and work his passage He was one of the most fastidious mem bers cf a select circle of youij society men. and nothing had ever been oai jod enough for him. His mother wept and remonstrated. She was sure would kill him, but somewhere in hi there was the blood of an old sea ca tain, ana this a9seited itself. "Mother." he said, "i shall die if I sta here and run in tbe old rut. I am sick of my useless life; let me try myself; see if I am not the same flesh and blood as other men, and have not as much nerve and streng: h as they." His mother bad bid her fears excited lest he was developing a consumptive tendency, and finally yield ed a reluctant assent. She wanted to load him down with delicacies, and de fense against wind and water. But the old captain's blood in him was up, and he would none of it. "No, mother" said he, "I am going to rough it. live oa bard tack, pork and molasses, just as the rest do, and see ir I can stand it. I may get very sick of it and be glad enough to come borne aDd be taken care of, but I'll try it any way." lie did try it lost hia dudyism aDd cynicism, also his bis consumptive ten dencies ; took on health, breadth, a manful tone and appearance, acquired ed new ideas of life, rnd, in short, turn el out to be a first class sailor, and finally a merchant whose 6hips sailed the wide pea over. Slurried for Whist. A singular marriage, which can hardly be clasnsd nnder the head of sen timental, took place in Washington a j icw weess ago. xae oriae is over 70 years of age, and looks eeen older, while the groom is a man of 4J, good looking in face and figure, a robust, powerfully built fellow ot Russia parent age. This anomalous couple, having returned from their brief hoaey mDon. are now living quietly at their handsome residence on one of the most ashionable avenues of the city. Th3 marriage is undisguisedly one of court niebce on both sides, since for some time previous to tho ceremony the old lady, a widow for some years past, had openly declared her desire to obtain a second matrimonial partner, giving as a reason that she desired to secure a husband with whom she woald indulge her fondness for whist playing. Aware of the extent to wh:ch her weakness for whist was carried, the old lady of fered in consideration for the constant service rf quired i. ., that every even ing should be wholly given up to the game to settle upon the groom the morning of her marriage the large sum of 100.000. For a time the gilded bait failed to attract. Finally, however, a "Barkis" was found, and true to ber promise, the o'd lady had a legal docu ment executed, by which her prospec tive husband became possessed of 5100 -000.

Amputated His Own Leg-. Surgery being under discussion the doctor recalled one instance that came under his notice while practicing in a little town op the "Wisconsin Central ine. A woodsman was caught by a falling tree, and one of his legs was pinioned between its heavy trunk and that of a brother monarch. There it was held as if in a vise, just below tbe knee. Tbe unfortunate man was alone, and too far from tbe nearest camp to make his voice heard. His axe had been dashed from his hands, and he could not reach it. Night was approach ing, and hungry wolves were commenc ing to howl about him. He recognized that to remjin there was to die. The weather was growing bitter cold, and he already felt a warning numbness. He knew that in bis condition and situ ation he could rot figbc the wolves, and the prospect of becoming a helpless vic tim of their ravenous attacks nerved him to desperation- Removing bis suspenders, and binding them as tightly as possible around the Imprisoned leg, he inserted the blade of his jack-knife at the knee, cut away his clothing and flesh, and fevered the joint. The opera tion proved successful, and he raised himself from the deadly trap, leaving tbe lower limb as a ghastly evidence of cool determicatiou to execute desperate measures as against the grim certainty of dissolution that would attend a lack of effort. He managed to crawl to his axe. with which he cut a sapling and made a rough crutch. "With its aid be made his way slowly to camp, nearly four miles distant, frequettly lying down in the snow for rest. It waa a long and painful jjurney and he hob b'ed into camp just as bis strength was about to give out. Medical attendance was secured, and the sj'.f amputation was given proper attention. Tho man is still alive, and the detailed statement from his own lips, of what he suHeied physically and mentally during his ex perience in that relentless tree clasp, and of the thoughts that nerved him u; to caivijghl-; oa leg, are of an excep tionally thrilling nature. The Uiurniug following the injured woodman's arrival in cump, some of bis companions, fol fowing his tracks, visited the. sjt where Le met his accident. The wolves bad been there, torn Jhs coverirg from the foot and leg and gnawed away the flesh, leiving a smooth polish on the bones. 3cn, Homcu, and Clotlics. When a man has a new cntct from head to toe he sneaks out in one piece at a time. He will wear a brown vest with gray check trousers and a LJue coat rather than to fce the public in the whole brown euij at once. If be has a new hat he'il sneak ont to tba corner grocery In It before break fast to order kindling wood or con densed milk four mornings in succes sion before he'll get up courage to ven ture down town in it. When a woman gets a new coat she'll stay at home from church Sunday for a month waiting to get everything to go with it, to make a thundering sensation when she walks up the aisle. She wants even her gloves and boots to swell '.Le triumph by being obviously designed for that especiStoilet.

If in new clothes that are the fulfill ment of her fondest dreams, she doesn't feel like that, take my word for it she is no true woman, and I wouldn't trust her to kaow a baby from a poll parrot. Modesty, evicently thy name is man ! The Mother's Kighl to Her Child. To the question, has the mother any right to tbe babe whom she has boine of the peril or her own life ? the heart of humanity can give but one answer. Uy a law of human nature, alike uatur al and irreversible, her claim in this respect is superior to any other, not excepting that of the father. It is from ber bosom that the child draws its sustenance, and she is its Ood-arpoint-ed care-taker, at least in its earliest years, aud ber right cannot be over borne without cruelly amounting to outrage. And yet, strange es it may seem, the law in nearly every S:ate in tbe Union gives the power of cutody of the child, not to the wife and tnoth- r. but the husband aud father. The mother may be a paragon of moral ex cellence, and exceptionally well fitted to nurse ana train her child, but the father, though a man utterly vile, has legal light to snatch the babe from the mother's arms and dispose of it as be pleases. To the credit of human na ture let it be confessed that this right ia our day is not often esercised, but it 13 a reproach to our civilization that such a law should bo p3rmitted to stand for a single hour upon any of our stat ute books. 1 by She Left the Choir. A Jersey girl whese early education had been nippe-d in the bud by the frost or ber father's failure, accepted a por tion In a country choir, and charmed the congregation with her singing. One Sunday she was absent from her accus tomed place after church was dismiss ed, the pastor approached her, saying : "We minsed your melodious voice this morning. What is the matter V ' "I've quit warbling ia this church V" she curtly replied. "Why, what is the trouble ? " anx iously asked thedoraiue. "I've been insulted by that nasty choir leader. That's what' the mat ter." "Insulted. What did he say V" "He called ma a 'celestial cantatrice.' That's what he did. And I wou't stand uo such sass from any such look in' snipe as he is. Gool bye."
