The. Lord's my Shepherd; on his breast t
Sly weary -wandering he lays;
Lord God, from that sweet haven of rest,
I offer Thee a psalm iA praiser ,
I shall not want: Thou leadest me
in pastures ever fresh and far,
Amid the enchanting melody .
Of living vraterv. murmuring there.
The matchless muslc of Thy voice •
Uplifts nay soul; nay feet are shod
With wings of gladneni+., and reJoleo
In paths Thy feet in sorrow trod.
. -
To mountains of delight I soar,
And find a full and fruit repast;
Tbc, wolf may howl, the lion roar—
Stith Thee I I/Mk:it* fear, nor fast
Yea, in yon silent, shadowy vale,
Trio King of Terror's ghostly) . lair,
My strength an.) e . emfort 'never fall;

And yot I wool,: Ja my poor hood,

for it was Christmas-tide, and there
were Christmas doings thcre. Under
that hospitabie roof the whole of a

quetry going on Between these three,
but not one of the wise: heads in the
house could determine - which of the
two wq.s George's favorite or what
his chance would bewith either.
Grace thought she knew, and, per
haps she did. • -
Modet little Grace,_ plain though
she felt herself to - be, and countrified
and old-fashioned in tier ways, felt
also that she, in her simple, pink

Might be, was pleasinfter to dashing
George's eyes than Adelaide with all .
her' brilliant brunette beauty, en
hanced though it was by creamy
-cashmeres and jewel-tinted silks; and
that gave her courage to ask George,
with • a shy smile, if he would hang

-The hangin ,, of the stockings be

a Christmas Eve ceremony that had
never been ,omitted in the old man

perous' man of fifty, had toddled
across the hearth for a rattle and
cornucopia of candy on the first
Christmas of his life, but George and
Adelaide and Grace, the olds at 'of

George laughed his sunny:laugh
and glowed all over with delight.
The question meant that ' . Grace had
remembered him in making her
Christmas purehaizes. •
"I should," he said, thrOwing back
his-curly head in a lazy, boyish fash
ion of hiS own, and half closing his
dancing. blue eyes—"l - should, if I
thought Santa Claus would bring
me anything"
"Never fear ' George !: . I think
you're a good boy," said .Grace, co
quettishly. -I guess it won't be a
rod." -
."Or - a mitten," put in - Adelaide,
and then blushed furiously ; for she
was young enough to make-incoher

know how to mendthem. -
"Wouldn't be-any nose of one mit•

high chair, where he sat. devouring
the scrapings of a jelly-dish:
"Worse than-useless," said George,
for -some occult reason in great glee,
and tossing the child high above his
head in a flying sweep.:
"What would oo do wiz one mit

pertinacity, as soon as he elltild get
his breath.
."We'll see when we get it.'!
And off walked George, the Child
on his shoulder, with au air that said
very plainly that he was not afraid
of receiving such a present. .

necessary things her 'mother had can
-tioned her not Ao forget, a costly
backgammon board for grandpa, a
toy, velocipede for Frankie, a bonbon
box- or' two, and several yards of
wide blue ribbbn to finish her book
marks with, and she had only two
dollars left, and no present for. Cousin
George.
Much to her consternation ; "just
a bite " a fashionable restaurant
finished this small sum,' and Grace
left the establishments sadder antr a
:wiser girl,' with exactly ninety-six
cents in lierlmeket-book.)'
,They might have lunched on home
made apple pie and cheese at grand
pa's, but Grace, conscious of her.own
deficiencies in purse and polish, Was
all the more jealous of her social du
ties, and so insisted on_ the " kite,"
and ordered it at random=things
she had heard were good, mere trifles,
easily demolished, but dear enough
to her. -
The upshot w 4 that George must
go without his present, and she had
actually promised.him one. Although
she would not have spoken 'of it
openly, she knew that he had under
stood her.
Not so much as a pincushion or a
bookmark could she find for 'him.
Nothing—absolutely nothing—could
be had for less than a dollar.
The, Christmas Eve was a grand
gala-time, and there was fun and fro
lic- and uproarious laughter that
would have produced headache:and
fattlOinding any other day of 'the
year. until the hand of, the tall clock
pointed warningly to midnight ; but
through it, all, Grace was troubled
with an uneasy, sensation, for her
unfilled promise haunted her.
Something had come between
George and his country cousin. The
old ,folks were sure that .idelaitle
was George's favorite, and Grace,
though_ she carried herself brtively,
was very wretched.
rit could not lie that George would
resent her neglect of him. That
would - be unlike him, indeed ; but
certainly • the coolness dated from
Christmas morning, when he, disem
boweling a monstrosity of a, white
sock, had stopped short in the midst
of his hilarious fun ; and walked out
of the room with a face. as red as
pippin.
From that moment grandfather's
delight over his backgammon board
and Frankie's over his velocipede,
were Mike indifferent to her; so were
the milder praises bestowed upon her
Maltese crosses in bead-wor•k and
carved firistol-board bookmarks. So
were her oWnAreasures, not except
ing the bltie-and i old Tennyson of
George's own bestowal.
Not a word did lie have for her
all that miserable holiday time, but
whispersd and danced and walked
with Adelaide instead. Only when
they Were parting,
he drew himself
up stiffly and said:
"I forgot to thank you for your
little present, U race—a quite unnec
essary one, however:"
• "Sarcastic!" thought—Grace; but
she puzzled over the words all the
way home. •
Unnecessary! Could it be that
George received something lie sup
posed to be from :her? .71 - forged ,
letter,
Graee suddenly remembered a lit
tie conversation at,the breakfast ta
ble the day 'before ,Christmas, and
how . Addaitiv, had blushed after her
suggestion, and then it rushed upon
her that 'Frankie's red mitten had
been lost on Christmas Day.
he saw it all. Who had profitted
by her quarrel? Wlio bad angled
for George's attentions ? Who had
been so cold and distant :is soon- , :at:
she secured her triumph ?
Grace thought that she could have
forgiven all this 'treachery better if
Adelaide had really liked George ;
but it was plain she did,not. It was
mere vanity on her part, and this
last, meanest, shabbiest trick was be-
yowl forgiveness.
She wasi. angry with George fur
suspecting her, as he exidently did ;
yet he was not to Maine, dear fellow!
If she had only known what was go
ing on .sooner -She thought of a
hundred things she ,( ! ould have-said
to wake all right, but now the time
wasyast. What a sweet happiness
Adelaide had deStroyed, all fur an
idle flirtation! -
Grace meditated day and night,
how to end the quarrel—how to re
store the friendship 'that - had . been
_broken. •But what was she to do in
her country home? George, thinking
she had insulted bin) -would not come
near her. And if she wrote to, him
what could she. say ? There liai'been
no promise between them, and ; it' he
c•ho;e to transfer - his affections to
Adelaide, she had really no right to
interfere. -
Jr she betrayed her knowledige of
what had. happened, he would , have
double reason.to suspect her. he
really had ceased to like her,she was
too proud to seen to wish him back.
Altogether it was a great dilemma
and intolerable.
So the year passed, and Grace
grew cynical and morose. She was
mire of a hundred disagreeable things
—sure that if she weal an heiress
like Adelaide, George would not have
taken her ofienee fur granted so read
ily—sure that constancy was a thing
of past romance=-sure that female
friendship had no existence:
George and Adelaide were much
together, she lea - rned through other
cousins, and when December came;
again, neither of them had been near
tier, nor written even a line. The
poor girl longed to refuse grandpa's
invitation; but pride prevailed, and
perhaps a wish to see George again.
-It was just as she had anticipated.
=nose two together, always together,
distant to her and riendly with each
other ; and nursing her pride and
wrath, Grace almost forgot George's
real attitude in the affair, and Wished
herst;'lf at 'lonic sincerely.
Accident had theown the Orb girls
together in a room where the children
were playing, when a pertinent ques
tion arose among the group—a ques
tion 'that made Grace and Adelaide
look up from an unsocial book, which
had been used merely to cover the
awkwardness of the situation.
"l)o you know - what Cousin George
"found in his stocking last Christmas?"
asked Frankie, in high glee.
“W10,t.?"

REGARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION . FROM ANY QUARTER.
"A red mitten," piped Fraukie,. •
Adelaide's face turned crimson,
and Grace caught her guilty eyes as
she luirried.from the_ room, dragging
the little boy by the hand.
Grace hurried out herself, to hide
the tears, and once alone in the great
easy chair bathe library, all the pent
up
_trouble of the past year burst
forth, and'she Ml to sobbing bitterly.
It was of no
. use now, for George
was calmly weaned from her; but
she felt. it her= duty to free herself
from the 'vile suspicion that had been
fastened upon her.
To have offered George " the mit
ten," when she wonidn't for the world
have had him know that she under
stood his delicate . attenti4n ! It was
very, very dreadful,: It ;was -tragic,
for did not the whole happiness of
her life hang on that one misunder
standing?
Under other circumstances the
trick might have passed for an idle
jest; but Adelaide was (Thep in their
confidence, and had known what
weight such a trifle would have with
George at that 'moment. Oh, wicked,
wicked girl! She should be de
nounced before her bridegroom on
the very eve of their wedding, for it
was sure to come to that between het'
and George.
"Wicked, wicked girl!"
Grace uttered the words aloud,
aryl, then she was aware that some
one was stirring in the room close
beside her, and raised her eyes, all
red with weeping, to see her enemy
Stantling,.triumphing in•her distress.
On second thought it did not look
much like triumph, for Adelaide. was
pale and trembling, and her lips
qui'Ve red. •
"Oh, OraeC,".she cried out, catch
ing at her cousin's hand, " I am so
very, very sorry !"
"It's too late now," said Grace,
rising to leave; it is of ,very little
conseque4e."
She tried to pull her dress away
from the eager grasp that held her.
"You must hear me, Grace—dear
Grate It is of consequence. I
thought—George thought that you
had—oh, dear! llow could-we! 13u1
Frankie put his mitten in Georges
stocking, and the- little mischief
wouldn't, own that he had done it—
and George is so unhappy. Kiss me,
Grace, darling! And—and, you- do
love GeOrge a little ?"
"Vetter than my life !" cried Grace-,
with a fresh burst of tears. "I have
been the most miserable wretch !"
• And George, having heard the eon
' fession, stepped forward and put his
arms about her waist ; -while Adelaide,
onlyjstopping for one eousinly em
bract, left the lovers to each' other.
"hall I hang my stocking for the
other mitten this Christmas ?" asked
George; but Grace gave him instead
a pilOrnise of: life-long love and conli
-41enee, unbroken . conStancy and faith;
thing's that no stocking on earth—
perhaps no pair of stOckings—was
ever-..wide enough or deep- enough to
hold.

BORMSWE HT REAL LIFE•
A DIVORCED tIUSBAND REMARRIES lIIS
EX-WIFE AND $3,000,000.
When a man who has been for,
many years married leaves his wife
without a word of farewell, and,.
moving round into the next street,
lives there unknown to his family for
twenty-fivei.ears, the singularity of
his ecinduct , may well excite corn=
ment. When men and their - Wives,
agree to disagree, separate, live apart
for several years, and are reunited'
with a sudden gush of old affection
and a renewal of first vows; the mat,
ter is worthy of diScussion. The.
ease first supposed happens - perhaps
but once in a.century;,the second of
tener; but always at a distance. The
persons who dothese things we nev
er know, though the newspapers re
fate their peculiar conduct. That
which gives events like these especial
point; is the marriage of Alv,inza
'Hayward to his first and :only': wife ;
the reunion having been effected last
Sunday, at the old home in San Ma
teo. They were married . more than
thirty years ago, in Wisconsin, and
have been divorced not quite a year.
Mr. Hayward has for a long time
been proillinent in business circles)n
San Francisco. He • is a native of
New York, but moved to Wisconsin
when :i young man. While there he
studied law, and practiced it in con
nection with mercantile pursuits,
and in due time married Miss Chari
ty Hathaway, one of the two arinci
pal characters in this romance. He
came - to this coast in and. has
pursued since that time a career of
uninterrupted prosPerity. His prop
erty has at different -tithes been esti
mated at from five to ten millions.
His operations a 4 a mining specula
-tor during the last fifteen years are
well known. His first money was
made in the Amador mine, at Grass
Valley. His next venture was in
Gould and Curry, by whose rapid
fluctuations he nearly lost what he i .
had before made. By the Savage
bubble he addeA largely to his for
tune, and still more by the discovery
of the Crown Point. bonanza. He
has also engagel in many other min
ing ventures. His outside specula
tions have been nuMerous f ,antl have
included dealings in' real estate, gas,
water, oil, and coal stocks; anything,
in fact, which his Midis tofich could
transmute to gold. - About fift-en
years ago he purchased his Saii Ma
teo ranch, which contains nearly a
thou-and acres, and is a fortune in
itself, and lived there with his fami
ly until about two years ago. It is
one of the loveliest placeS -on the
coast, the mansion being of the large,
old-fashioned kind, and the grounds
su.pnrb. The exeursionis to San Jose
has a glimpse - of. it shrubbery, its
towers and walks, as he flies past on
the train. It is stated that an offer
of $1,000,000 in gold was made to
Mrs. Hayward for the place by the
head of a great. bonanza lirm and not
entertained for a moment.
The romance began some three or
four year , s ago, and, like many an
other romance formed not so often
in real life as in books, opened with
clouds, only to end with blue-.skies
and sunshine. Long attention to
business of the most exciting charac
ter seriously deranged. Mr. Hay
ward's health, and nulitted him for
the enjoyment of life. his wife, a
lady oi' New England descent, of ac- ,
tire habits and stirrinff temperament,
ministered to his wants to the • best
of her ability.. 110 invalids are. ex
acting, and persons who are theta
selves strong unit healthy sometimes
lack, or seem to . lack, that serene and
endless patience whieh sickness,
whet er'real or imaginary, considers
. • f entitled to receive. There was
developed an incompatibility which
time, instead of healing,
.only
,made
more apparent,qas the health of' Mr.
Hayward rendered him less capable
of self-control. .Some 'persons of a
metaphysical turn of mind said he
was phyeologizedHliat is, his mind
had passed from hisliown control in
to that of another, and he was help
less to resist. Some one advised
inagneVism, and at the suggestion he
visited, Mrs. Bamish, an elderly lady
living at Oakland, whose business is
that of a clairvoyant and magnetizer
and spiritural healer. Her attentions
were unremittim!,- - but were useless.
She advised a voyage. to China and
japan, the journey. having presuma
bly been suggested by 'spirits, Mrs. •
Hayward consented to the trip, and
'l`,lrs;Beamish formed one of the par
ty. BS : the time they arrived at Yo
kohama. the-.aged - magnetizer had
pretty. thoroughly asserted her sway
over the mind of her patient. She
counseled a speedy return ; and re
ceived secret celestial information
that Mr. and Mrs. Hayward could
not return in the same steamer with
safety to either, so the husband re
tunred with Mrs. Beamish as liis Only
companion, and Mrs. Hayward fol
lowed at her curliest convenience.
The two have not lived to nether
from that time until- now. Mr. Hay
ward resided with Mr. Pena, at the
elegant mansion of the latter, 411 the
corner of Post a Leavenworth, and
'Mrs. Hayward divided her' time be
tween the place at San Mateo and
her reS:denee, OS Post street, giving
most cif: her time to the city for the
sake of her daughter, who is in one
of the public schools, wife se -1-
era' times visited the husband and
asked' him to return,but the morose
ness which bad marked the early
stages of his disease had increased,
and he invariably refused. A. little
More than a year'passed in this way,
when. Mrs. Hayward, uncertain what
turn atlairs nii , rht take determined
to apply for a divorce. She employ

was tried in the Fourth Di4rict
Court, and in due time the decree .
prayed for •was granted. As the
property. was acquired during cover

equal partition of the estate, he •fix

The decree of divorce was. granted
last January. 114 Ward remain
ed at Mr. Pearts, and. the divorced
lady passed her tine as already de
scribed. The relations of the father
.with. the aaughter continued to be
agreeable, and there was an occa-
aional ir.terchange of visits. During
the spring his health began to im
prove, the melancholy which had
overshadowed him like a cloud,
gradually disappeared, and with it
the bitternesd of feeling it had en
gendered. About three months ago
husband and wife met again acciden--
tally during one of the visits of fath
er and daughter.. The first meeting
was not lacking in cordiality, and it
led the way to another and then an
other, until there-4as .
perfect an
derstandiug• and a re-engagement.
The ties'
. formcd a third of a century
ago, and 'cemented-by so long an in
tercourse, could not be permanently
severed. it may be here remarked
that Mr. Hayward gave up magnet- .
ism* and all, its unpleasant associa
tions soon
,after his return from Ja
pan, and was never, in any sense, a
Spiritualist. The re-engagement hav
ing been effected, the wedding, that
was really fi;goldeu wedding, though
slightly out of i:s order, soon fol
lowed.
Last Sunday was selected ns -a
suit-able time for solemnizing it. , _A
few friends—less than a score in all
-
-had been invited, some from Safi
Francisco, and a few from San Ma
lec).* AMong them was N. Greene
Curtis, the legal adviser of Mrs.
Hayward'. Mr. Hayward drove up a
spfendid pair of horses from his farm
at Fair Oaks, where lie had been
spending Saturday. night. The cere
mony was performed by Rev. Mr,
Rouse, of the Congregational Church:
of San Mateo, after the simple New
England fashion. Though the gath
ering was small, it was extremely el-,
egant. The bride Wore a dark brOwn
brocaded silk, such as the ladies are
- wont to describe, as being . able to
stand alone, and was resplendent in
diamonds of the finest water. A pro
i;_mnd feeling pervaded all during
the ceremonies, there not being a dry
eye in the house. - The nuptial knot
was firmly retied at 4 I'. it,
ately after which all present sat down
to-a sumptuous repast, at which they - O
was the utmost cordiality and godd
feeling. • The satisfaction of' those
present at the wedding represented a
familiar feeling that prevails among
the friends of both parties:. It is.un-
lerstood that there is no chanfre . in
•egard to mutual title to property,
Mrs..llavward retaining in her own
name tit:it / granted her by the decree
of divorce. The rumors in regard to
Mr. Hay warips financial troubles are
denied by Lilo's° who know him most
intimately. They say he Was never
in a better condition, and he himself
says he has more than he knows what
to do with. The Merchants' Ex

What we call the - earth, or the soil,
and designate by the - names of field,

"than disintegrated or crumbled - up'

kinds.of salts brought up from the

together with the fine pebbles• and .

STRANtiE WILL or AN AKERIOAN
LADY
Eollowing the notable example of
Jeremy, Bentham,, an American lady
resident in London has, it is announc
ed, by a formally executed docu
ment, bequeathed her body after her
decease to the-Royal College of Sur
geons, to the intent that her remains
may be dissected 'in the Very fullest
and most exhaustive manner of which
anatomical science is capable. - 'The
lady" has appointed the president of
the college for , the . time
_beirig the
executor of her will, and deeming as
she does that ,is the duty of
incm
hers of, the human famil3 , • to devote
their bodies, after death to scientific
examination; until the principles of
physiological science are thoroughly
established, she has decided that sur
gery may do , its utmost with hci•
corpse,; and furthermore directs that
"all possible facilities shall be given
for the inspection of such body in its,
various stages of dissection by any
persons desirous to inspect it, and
more particularly , by persons of the
fornale sex."
, This singular testament goes on
to prescribe 'that when the lancet and
the scapel have done their 'utmost,
06 dissected body is to be .destroy:
'Q in the most, economical and e4e--
litious manner. possible, with, the
prOviso that some remnant of the

innoious state," mat be ,p-eserved
in the Royal College of Surgeons, as
a Means,of identifying the benificent

donor a ri., certainly very; curious
legacy. Th lady further gives ut
terance to a wish that if any of her
friends " des '.e . td posseSs a remnant
of the said iippily, they shall be, at lib
erty to do soy ? - Such is this old tes-
tamentary bequest, legally diawn up
and signed and witnessed by the
clerks of a well-known London solici
tor.
• The Royal College. of Surgeons
have, it is understood, accepted 'the
trust. It is impossible to deny the
absence ,of prejudice, the single
mindednes4 and the public spirit.
which have apriaCntly • dictated the
adOption by a lady of . respectability
of so yew unusual a come ; but it
is necessaryto point out' ifirst that
such an example will not, iri ,all
lihood, find qnan , y imitators; .and
next, that the .hospital sdhools, of
London can already procure a suffi
ciency of dead bodies todeMonstrate
with thoroughness •the pribeiples of
physiological science. Were this
benevolent lady a dwarf or a giant
ess, or endowed, with two heads, phy
siology might benefit, by the bequest
of her body. ,As it is, there will be,
at, we hope, a far distant'period, only
One corpse the ,more on the dissect--

Touching the " remnant" question,
that must he held matter of taste.
We all remember the gentleman in
the " Tatler " who disinherited. his
son for 'having, spoken disresiipe-t
-fully of his "sister, whom lie ; the tes
tator, had long kept preserved in
spirits., There are people Who' 4. are
fond of the " remnants " of their de
parted friends, and others who enter,
tertain a profound dislike to keeping
such mementoes . near thein.—London

TIM MEETINGS AT CHICAGO.
The following are some of the in
cidents reputed at recent meetings
of .Iloody and Sankey at Chicago:
The. Rev. Dr. Cheney said : " The;
other day five young ladies came 16'
me, bright, intelligent girls; every
one of them in trouble over this ques
tion. They had been taught that
Christ is their teacher and example,
and this is all ; and they came to' me
and said : MAI, - shall we get into
this way of believing that Jesus ' , died
to save us from our sins ?' I said to
them : shall give you no books on
the atonement, but I want you to go
hoMe and read the fiftpthird chapter
of tsaiali.,. Remember that it was
written six hundred years be
fere Christ was born ; read it over
and over, and over i again, and - ,pray
to the Holy Spirit to help you to un
derstand it."
.:Dr: C. L. Thompson said he felt a
gratitude which he could not express
over the work of grace in the smith
part, of the city. "On Wednesday
evening I was sent for to pray for a
limn over whom his family were
mourning, as they sometimes mourn
over the dead. The inext morning
he was in such an agoii r y of penitence
as I never saw befbre. I prayed for
lam again, and in audible prayer he
gave iiimself to Christ. On Saturday
a member 'of his family called at my
house while I was out, and when I
met her soon afterwards, having
learned Of her c2ll, I Did you
_wish to see me for: any special rea
son ?'- *She: replied, only wanted
'you to help one rejoice.' When his
wife asked him about family prayers,
hesai'" We Can't pray too often;'
and a family altar was erected in
-that house.'.'
• Mr. Moody remarked before clos
ing the meeting, " I yas greatly
Pleased yesterday when that young
concert stood up to speak, and did
not -get on very well at first, because
lie saw a Man in Ahel'audience with
whom lie had had a quarrel'previous
to his conversion; but_ when heasked
the man's pardon right out, then and
there; lie had no difficulty with his
speech ; he had liberty after that.
So, my friends, if PM have trouble
with anybody, and malice in your
hearts, there no use in - trying to
talk to people about. their Souls;
you are just wasting your time. The
Spirit will not bless your'-efforts, for
the Lord says, ' It you do notlove.
one another! you 'do not love' me.'
These things have I spoken to you
that my joy •might retrain in you and,
ihat_yourjoy might be full.' It is
the joyfuLChristians-that win souls
to Christ; the ,World is after the best
things, and if they see a man whose --
face 'shines and whose heart seemSl
be full of joy-, they will very soon
want that for themselves."
„Thrilling stories were told ,by re
formed drunkards at the temperance
meeting. One of the witnesses stat
ed that he had been drinking for
thirteen years, and had not stopped
longer than six months at a time.

AGE AND WISDOM.
I
The extraordinary wisdom shoWn
by such writers ns George i Eliot and
Hawthorne setg us to wondering
whether their_wisdom would be pro- ,
iiortionately increased- if , their lives
should , be prolong ed, 'say three times •
the usual term. t 'We (doubt that it
would. Of course wisdom is derived
largely through experience, but thh
`insight that gives wisdom, dOes not
require any, excessive opportunity
for observation. The ordinary term
of life is enough. For not_ only ob
servation is ne2essary, but sympathy
—and the kind of sympathy we give
to, and receive from; persons who
are in the same time and mood of
life, with ourselves. Hawthorn's
earliest writings have much the same
truthful and typipal quality`that his
later one possess.- Old people do not
seem to have any proportionate , in
crease of wisdoth. Their knowledge
of instances and eiamples; their op
portunity of watching the curious
process of heredity, instead; of
making them wiseheads, often makes
them nothing hater than dogmatists
and gossips.
We should\ think that natural his- •
torians might find entertainment and
instruction in studying the Intellect-'
ual effect of long life upon animals.
It might be possibleto - do this with
regard, at least, to domestic animals;
of length ' life of other animals,
astonishingly little .is known. The
actual length of life would not seem
to have much to do with the question;
the apparently stupid tortoise, for ,
instance, long - outlives the intelligent
dog and horse. The 'age relatively,
to the age others of the same spe
cies, and with relation to succeeding
generations of the species, this
would be the point to deterthinb. In-
White's "Selborne," • it, is' said that
the natural term of a hog's life is lit-.
tie knoWn, because it is neither pro
fitable nor convenient to keep that
turbulent animal to the full extent of
its time. White's neighbor, "a ma
of substance, who had no 'occasion to
study every little advantage to a
nicety," kept a: Ow, as thick as she
was long, till AO was advanced to
.her seventeenth year, when she
showed signs of age, andi was turned
into "fat, good bacon, juicy and ten
der.",. She was moderately computed
be " the fruitful parent of three
hundred pigs." Now, White remarks
that ‘-fibm long experienee in the
1Vorld; 'this female was- grown very
sagacious ah.d_ artful." Here, then,
is a case in point, although we should
like to have been,informed whether
this creature were not from the .first
excepiionally intelligent. Will not
some one conversant with the 'sub
ject give the yital statistiesOf learned
pigs ?—Scribner.
WHAT A BOY THINKS OF PARENTS.
•
Tlie.following will be
read with in
terest by all.'of the mascnline race, •
since they. can well recall 'the period
they were boys
''Parents were born to be a great
trouble to their offspring. " When I.
was ever so little I remember I tried
to hang up. thelitten, by my whip.
lash, and mother took the kitten
away and boxed my ears, and went
and 'drowned it herself next day. So •
she had all' the fun herself. 'And
father's . worse than mother. He told
me te.take care of pennies' and the,
dollars twould take care of,theinselveS,'
so I antlßen. Smith formed an anti
swearing club.. We' had a 'rule that
for every profane word We used we
would pay a cent into the treasury.
We had .75 , cents in the first day, but .
when I fetched 37 cents home, fath
er said it was a bad business, whip
,i)&l me, and .broke up the club. How is.a fellow to know when he is doing
right ? If I had no parents to hound
, me round I'd beat George Wdshing- •
ton all holler, fori"d cut down every
cherry tree in the garden, and own .
it, too. If I was an orphan, I know
*hat I'd, do. Ben. Smith and me
would go to a.desolate South Sea Is
land and stir up the goats-1 and mon
.keys and things,.fry toadstools, - eat '
oranges a spell, and we'd make a
ship and . sail 'around :the world.
What's the use of drying up in one
place. I told mother one day when.
she wouldn't give me ten cents, that
• I meant to go Whaling, and I hoped,
a whale would swallow me as one did
Jonah, and then she. wouldn't never
see me again, for I Can't:swim. She •
said I wouldn't be likely to make
such a visit,- for 'I would, 'turn the
whale's stomach mighty quick after
I .gnt in there. WaSn't she- bully?
If I were a parent I know what I'd
do—l'd keep_still and mind my own
business, and let my children have
some fun. There's ToriaCutts lives
with his aunt, and has a bully time.
He goes wood-chucking on Sundays, ,
has no best clothes, crawls under the
canvass of every Circus tent, earns
money at every theatre, sleeps in ilia
stable.when he likes, and always haa
hig.i?oekets full of peanuts: He says
he wouldn't be bothered with parents
if he clouhthave them for - nothing,
and he thinks if I hagn'e any it
would be money in my pocket.
Them's My sentiments..

INTELLI6ENT WORK FOR MONKEY&
I.
—The monkeyits now; in a tamed
state, used, in two rather remarkable
ways East, by nations whom
it is the fashiOn amongst us to con
sidel barbarous. The monkey has,
in the first place, been taught to work:
in. tqgardens of China, just as an
experienced Chinaman works, pick
ing-. the suitable leaves and letting.
the others be. - It second place,.
he has been taught by the natives of
Malacca and the thqlden Chersoneie,
as far as Formosa to the east, to as
cend trees, gather the fruit- which - is.
ripe, and either give them or. throw
- them down to his master. It maybe
confidently asserted that in each of
these cases the trained ape performs
an Office requiring more inteligence
than that of a chimney-sweeper or a'
crossing-sweeper.—World.
