In cionsequence of the change, instead of being able to enter the cages as formerly,. without weapon and without fear, be dared not trust himself within limes reach of ono ; so that be and his beasts lived in a state of en mity and warfare which boded no good to either side. The gnglish Vice-Admiral Campbelllanded at Macao., He went to Marasquin for pets wherewith to beguile his - voyage when Malay ',Pirates were scarce. - Now, among his mon keys, Polydore: had ' one of especial mark. Two were male baboons, named licrabouffl First and. Second; tall, powerful, and intelli gent as men, but. horribly wicked and cruel; the other two were chimpanzees, male and female, called Mococo; and Saimira; mild, melancholy, intelligent, and beautiful, deeply enamored of each other, perfectly well-bred, and holding the 'poet's place in the world of apes. Mococo was Marasquin'w cf groom." He waited attable, changed the plates, poured out• the 'wine,. and, when invited, ate at the came table; with unfailing grace and distinc tion. The master's love for the two little chimpanzees filled the rest of the menagerie— ' the ' objects 'of his severity—with rage and jealousy. Now, Karabotifil the First was in love with Saimita. , The Vice-Admiral made some purchases, and the - ship's crew followed' his example. Each man bought a male and female monkey, in - exact imitation of the commander. Ho, him self, took Karabouffi the First. Mrs. Campbell insisted on buying Mococo and Sairnira; and, after a few struggles of the heart, the keeper of the menagerie—“lnerchant before all else" —sold her his _pretty favorites; beseeching the purchaser, however, to keep them out of the way of Karabouffi the - First: The little lovers wept like children at parting with their friend; they clung to him and embraced him piteously; but, finally, the embarkation of the monkey host was effected; and Macao confessed to-having never 'witnessed such a day. The rage'ofKambouffi the Second, at being thus deprived of his companions, knew no bounds. He yelled, howled, and tore about his cage like a demon; and, from that hour, con ceived the most deadly ...atred against Maras gain; but a hatred , that showed itself rather by, extreme sullenness - and a black kind of dumb revenge, `than by any overt act of vio lence. „ A year after this sale, - Marasquin was awakened one night by the suffocating smell of fire. He started up to find the whole place in a flame. His mother could not be rescued; his menagerie blazing; his superb birds flut tering and screaming; his magnificent tigers howling and writhing. .In the midst of all. grinned, chattered, leaped and danced,- the demon Karaboidli, with a lighted torch in each hand. Ile had stolen matches from the pocket of the gas-lighter ; and,- irr imitation of him, had turned on the gas, lighted it, and set lire to the place„ Some one shot as he capered through tfie flames; but Marasquin was none the less tinned, and his mother Was none the leis burnt to.deatb. „ To recruit his fortunes, and re -stuck his menagerie, Marasquin set mit for New Hol land, chartering a Chinese junk for the voyage. But his crew of Chinamen and Laecars quar reled ; a storm came on, the men got drunk; and the unhappy junk foundered in mid seas. After battling with the waves for a miraculous length of time, Marasquin, half-dead, was cast upon a small island—the only, man saved of the whole fillip's company. - Recovering from his swoon, he found himself lying on the shore, clone; sot's human being near him, not a hu man habitation in sight. Gathering his scattered senses together, he. walked slowly forward into the interior of the island; when suddenly he saw a human form at an immense distance—he made for it—the man, or savage, fled—he pursued—the savage dart ed like lightning in and out among the trees, until at last Marasquin. found him self at the spot where he first beheld him. But the savage had disappeared. While look ing about for him and searching for his trail, something large, supple, and hairy, 'dropped from the tree at his feet. It was an ape ; who, putting himself before him, seemed to forbid, his further advanee. Not liking this, Marasquin broke off a bough with which he advanced threateningly. The brute chattered and grinned, then uttered a - peculiar cry. In the twinkling of an eye, from all points of the compass, trooped a crowd of monkeys, darken ing the horizon like it. cloud, and.forming a ' phalanx, round Marasquin impenetrable and in vincible. Dead with heat and thirst he tried to retreat, but the monkeys pressed thicker and closer upon him, so that he could not stir. On every bough, on every inch of ground; banging, trailing, walkhig, leaping,—in every attitude of motion-; of every size, shade, and species, they surrounded him, ready to tear him to pieces on the - smallest pretext. At last, opt— s, baboon—advancing from the company, came closer yet toMarasquin. Picking up the stick which he had let fall, he 'gravely, before them all; gave the unhappy ex-keeper such a flog ging`that he - would soon have departed this life had it been prolonged. But a thought struck him. His bright rederavat—bought at a costly price a short time ago—that would do. HO tore it off his neck and flung it in the midst of his persecutors. The stratagem succeeded. What monkey ever resisted finery and red ? 'While the entire mass were occupied in fighting for the cravat he ran off, often looking back and ? finding to his joy. that no .monkeys followed him. At last be reached a beautiful little lake, to which ho rushed,•balf.irantic with thirst and delight; he knelt down on the brink, and drank such draughts as the gods never received from Hobo. On raising his head, he found the whole lake lined with apes, all drinking and all kneeling like himself. They had followed him silently, upon the trees, swinging - from branch to branch like squirrels, and noiseless as birds. Alarming as his adventure was becoming, ho could not help laughing aloud at the gro tesqueness of their imitation. Immediately all the monkeys laughed aloud, too; and Ma rasquin was almost deafened. Some fruit grew tempting, but too high for him to reach. He flung a stone to bring some down; and every monkey- flung a stone. In a moment the ground was strewn with luscious fruit and brokert .boughs'; all the monkeys eating ex actly as Marasquin ate—tearing off the rind, rejecting the seeds; choosing, selecting, like eo many distorted images of himself. Hight drew on. Hoping to profit by this Spirit ,of imitation, Marasquin made himself a bed of leaves; and all the monkeys made themselves beds Of leaves. He then laid down, - stretched his arms and yawned; and, turning round, pretended to sleep. But the monkeys were ' not to -be caught. They stretched their arms and yawned ; yet, not an ape among them closed his eyes; on the con trary, they gathered closer and watched him with redoubled vigilance. In about a quarter of an hour two great onrang-outings, each of which could have conquered ten unarmed men, came on each side of him. They examined him all over, smelt him,looked in his hair after the manner of monkeys, poked his eyes, pulled off his shoes, which they tried to fit on to their hands ; then pulled off his stockings, whereby they got to his feet. They were charmed ! They played with biz toes, doubled them, un doubted them, grinning and chattering with delight to find the monster as well made 'as tbemitelyes; they got hold of his arms and used them in Dutch-doll fashion.. Finally, they proceeded to strip him. Marasquinknew that this would be the signal for death. He glided his bandit into waistcoat pockets and seized his pistols. Another moment and his tormentors , would have been shot; but he would have stood revealed and torn to pieces, when 'suddenly a long sharp whistle was heard, and cric ! eric I—not an ape was to ho seen! A night - or awful fear passed. Day, at last, broke. - Marasquin followed the lake and came to its outlet, where he found tho shore strewn with half-opened Oysters. The mon keys bad opened them by watching 'when the oyster gaped, then• flinging a small 'pebble between the shells.

If at any moment the King poor human creature was failing from want of sleep and weariness,the attendant apes pinched and scratched him, and pulled his hair, and drummed on his back, and would have gone to still worse extremities had he not roused him self, and resumed his labors. On the fourth day a bell rang, and all the world rushed out, Marasquin with them ; expecting surely to find a human hand this time nearbis. No ! An apo had pulled the dinner-hell, and apes assembled to dine at the sound. Marasquin followed the stream, and found Karaboufli and his ministers at tables They suffered him to eat with them, but he relished neither their food nor their companionship, and profiting by their pre-oe s cupation, he rambled through the apartments. He came upon the kitchens : half-dead with hunger as he was, the discovery made him for get his miseries. But the court of the Mon key-king had been before him, and the larder was empty. He found, though, some closets, locked and secured; he opened them, and fell into the midst of a world of edible wealth—a very mine of potted meats, essences, jams, preserves, wines, and, though not edible, yet valuable wax candles. He flung himself upon the viands, and devoured the meal of a dozen men in a trice. But, not to be greedy, he pre sented his majesty with a colossal pot of quince marmalade; and Karaboufli the First plunged himself up to his shoulders therein. By an inadvertence the closet was forced open, and the monkey-world began the pillage. Maras quirt had broken the neck of a bottle of wine, and drank the contents ; and all the apes broke the necks of all the bottles of wine they could find, and drank the contents, too. Hero was a scene! The monkey-world verging into I a state of universal drunkenness! Night was coming on ; it was growing dark ; Polydore, was becoming mad with horror, when he re membered the wax candles. Ho lighted one ; and the apes, seizing the whole store, lighted' every one in imitation. After nearly setting fire to the house, they seemed to remember a I past scene, and, sticking them in the chande liers, lighted the salon for a ball. So they had a ball, and Polydore had to play for them. 1 One ape thrummed the piano, another the ac cordion; Polydore, after having been beaten about the head, was forced to attempt the guitar. Worse than this : When the amusements of the evening grew rather slack, the unhappy man was ordered to enliven the monkey-guests by gymnastics; much of the same description of exercise as men force from monkeys. In vain he refused ; he was beaten till he was black and blue. In vain ho was unsuccessful,' - and fell instead of climbing to the top of la I perche ; he was beaten again. He had a taste now of captivity, indeed, and knew better than ho had over done before, what monkey a fool when they fall into the hands of men. - Karabourn had mysteriously quitted the ball some time ago. He now returned, bearing on his arm Saimira, weeping, plaintive, and dis censolate. It was plain that the king had di vorced the lovers, and forced poor faithful Saimira to herself. That was the reason, then, why the unhappy Mococo was confined; that the monarch might both feed hie revenge, and hold the threat of his hostage over Sai mire, should she bo recalcitrant and disoblig ing. The little chinipanzee could only look her tender plaintive sympathy with her former master undergoing these indignities. At last a thought seemed to strike her. She became gay, lively, coquettish; roused the jealousy of Karaboufli; flirted openly before his eyes; until the king, in a passion, dragged her rude ly from the ball-room; and the whole court fled in hie train. This was Saimira's mode of delivering Marasquin. To barricade himself in the verandah, as this portion of the house was called, was not a work of time. In ten minutes Polydore was safe irons all attacks from the monkey world outside. He had food and lights here; what mere did he 'require? He laid himself down' and slept as ,tranquilly as if ho had boon In his apartment at Macao. The next day he ascended a small spiral staircase,whicit led to Admiral Campbell's private study. Looking out through the lattice-work, he saw the whole army of apes drawn up about his castle, strongly armed with sticks and bludgeons, silently, and patiently, and watch fully besieging him. But he knew that ho was safe, and despised them, Searching about, he found Lord Campbell's journal, where, among other things too long to men tion here, he learned the mystery of the skeleton. It • was that of a mandrill, tire former monkey-king of the island, who, dis puting the admiral's possession, had been first shot, then hung as a terror to all recusants and rebels. The journal mentioned where the rifle was placed, and Marasquin thus saw himself in possession of a formidable weapon of offence. On the strength of the good news he went to dine. But a new difficulty had arisen—there was no water to be had; and Polydore was beginning to suffer from the strong and fiery wine of the British sailor. This difficulty, though not immediately press ing,was not wholly despicable. Peeping again through the lattice-work, Polydore beheld the besieging army still at their posts, but with an increase of weapons. Before each ape lay a heap of stones. Days missed. Polydore portioned out his provisions, and found that ho could live for three years, at the least, on the Vice-Admi ral's stores. But for water? Not a drop! Champagne and fiery wines in abundance, but of pure water—not a drop. This wine-drinking made the temperate keeper ill and mad. After about a month of it, in a fit of frenzy, he rushed to the arm-chest, seized thirty rifles, loaded them all, broke out two-loopholes in the wall, and prepared to deal death on all who opposed him in the search for water. But -what a sight met his eyes! He had last looked on two or three thousand apes; now, there were twenty thousand, at least, apd their stone heaps had risen into mountains, piled up higher than the top of the bell-tower. Maddened and in desperation, Polydore fired; and the battle began , Each rifle was loaded with six balls,' and each: shot slew multitudes; but multitudes appeared to take the places of those who fell ; while, like hail, name thundering down showers of huge stones, battering walls and roofs, and threatening to end the siege In quicker time than was agreeable to the be sieged. However, night came on, and a truce came with it.
