Traveler's tales have a - peculiar repu tation for the marvelous, and many travelers have been accused of fiction. Whether zoological tales are in all cases to bo trusted, we have,,now and then, a (leak. They are true in the main ; hut sometimes, possibly, the first narrator of- en unusually good story has judic iously abstained from eiftin. , e' it; and once in the Zoological Story boo k, the pleasant tale has stood on its own iner tia; and been handled tenderly, as is the-way with ornaments; no man too Weedy *cradling at them' to find out of what materials they are coin- Of course WC accept legends as leg ends. It was once believed of croco diles, that, after they had eaten a man oomfortebly, and left only the skull, at the sweet kernel of which—the brain— they could not get, their tears were ; s hed over the bone anal they softened it, and so the skull was opened, and the basin devoured. When that is told as 'Ars a legend, we say, certainly, it was ea very quaint thing to believe of the tears of crocodiles. Then traveler's tales-of the proverbial kind are next of kin to legends,—ifere is a very marvel ous one, and yet, let us be bold and say that we believe it. It is this.

His great father may have been dining heartily, and indisposed to stir; but as he grew• more brisk, the ac customed invocation of this little sou became effectual, and brought the tame snake to the box as usual. Disjonval knew Rapider (such a spider was a person to know)) who regularly placed himself upon the ceiling over a young lady's head whenvever she play ed the harp and followed her if she changed { her position: The celebrated violinist Berthme, it is our shame never to have heard of him, when a boy, saw a spider habitually come out to hear when he was practicing; this creature at lastheeame familiar and took a seat up on the desk. Lentz tells of a goose who followed a herp-player wherever ho per formed, probably to hiss him out of sclfeespeet.--Bingley tells of a pigeon in the neighborhood of a young lady who played brilliantly on the harpis chord ; the pigeon did not greatly care about her playing, except when she played the song of" Sperisi, ',from Han ders Opera, Admetus; then it would coma and sit by the window, testifying pleasure; when the song was over, it would fly back to its devecote, for it had not learnt the art of clapping wings fur an encore. In the matter of experience we can believe the story- of a dog who either was not blessed with a love of music, or had a master given to the perpetra tion of atrocities against his canine ear; the dog whose peace was broken by his master's practice on the violin, took every opportunity to hide the stick. Plutarch's story of the mule we are at liberty, we hope, to sot down in the list of pleasant tables. The mule laden with salt blundered, by chance, into a stream ; coming out it found its loud to be so agreeably lightened, that it after ward nuule a point•of taking a balk up on its travels. To cure it of this trick, the fanniers were filled with sponge, and when the mule came out of the water with the sponges saturated, it Mt a load that it had reason to remem ber. Dr. Pelican saw a party of rata around the bunghole of a cask of wino dipping their tails in and then licking them. Mn Jesse tells of ruts who per formed a similar feat with an oil-bottle. But this is nothing in comparison with the acntenets of Degmindpre's monkey. Left with an open bottle of nnisoed brandy, he sucked what he could froth it with tongue and fingers, and then poured sand into the bottle till the rest ran over. Le Valliant, the African traveller, had with him dogs and a monkey. When the monkey was weary he leapt on a dog's back for a ride. One dog on such occasions quietly stood still. The monkey, fear ing to be left behind, would presently jump off and hasten to the caravan, the dogovith studious politeness, taking care to give him precedence. An elephant -we must at least append one tale about the elephant, whose great sagaci ty makes him the hero of a thousand and one—an elephant belonging to an officer in the Bengal army, was left during the long absence of his master to a keeper; who as even eit3phantrost lers will do, cheated him of his rations. When the master came( back, the half starved elephant testified the greatest joy; the keeper in his master's pres ence, put, of course, the full allowance of food before the elephant, who immedi ately divided it into two parts; one representing his short commons, which i he devoured greedily; the other repro : senting the amount to which he bad i been defrauded in his dinners, he left. The officer of course understood the i hint and the man confessed his breach of trust. We must get rid of another story of an elephant, like the laat perfectly crialible.—.Klephants have more sagaci ty than dogs, awl of dogs few tales are current that are doubtful. This is the tale of an elephant in the Jerilin des Plautes. A painter used to study from the animals in the garden, and was minded once to paint the elephant. But of course he must paint him in an attitude, and even the sagacity of an elephant failed to understand that the artist ,wished him to keep his mouth open, and hold up his trunk. The artist therefore got a little boy, and intrusted to his care a bag of apples, which lie was to throw into the elephant's mouth one by one, obliging him in this way to keep his trunk uplifted. " The apples," says Mr. Brodenp, "were numerous, but the painter was not a Landseur, and as he had not the faculty of seizing and transferring character with Edwin's magical power and rapidity, the task was studious. By the master's direc tions, the boy occasionally deceived the elephant by a stimulated chuck and thus eked out the supply. Notwith standing the just indignation of the balked expectant, his gourmandise checked his irritable impatience ; and keeping his eyes on the still well-filled bag, he bore the repeated disappoint ment, crunching an apple when it chanced to come, with apparent glee. At length the last apple was thrown and crunched, the empty bag was laid aside., and the elephant applied himself to :his water tank as'if for the purpose of washing down his repast. A few more touches would have completed the picture, when an overwhelming droucho from his well adjusted trtuilt obilterated the design, and drenched the disoom fitted painter. Having, by this practi cal application of retributive justice, ex ecuted judgment ea the insugator, the elephant, disdaining the boy, whom he regarded as the mere.' instrument of wrong, marched proudly around his en elneure; loudly trumpeting forth his triumph." ,t , , i f GETTYSBURG, PENN A.: MONDAY, JUNE 22, 1857. `We have left that story in the pleas ant wonls of its accomplished narrator. Mr. Thomson now shall tell us one in his way, which illustrates the faculty of imitation. "An ourang outang brought up by Pere Carbasson, to - came so fund of turn that wherever he went, it always seemed desirous of accompanying him ; whenever, therefore, he had to perform the service of his church, he was under the necessity of shutting, him up In a room. Once. however, the animal es coped and followed the father to the church, where silently mounting the sounding-board above the pulpit he lay perfectly still until the sermon com menced. lie then crept to the edge, and overlooking the preacher, imitated all his gm tures in so grotesque a man ner that the whole congregation were unavoidably urged to laugh. The fath er, surprised and confounded at this ill timed levity, severely rebuked theirin attention. -The reproof failed In its ef fect, the congregation still laughed and the preacher in the warmth of his zeal, redoubled his vociferation and actions; these the ape imitated so exactly, that the congregation could no longer re strain themselves, but bußt out into loud and continued laughter." Of course a friend stepped np to acquaint the preacher with the existence of a second person above the sounding-board co-operating with ~him zealously. And of course the culprit was taken out by the servants of the church with a face expressive of insulted innocence. Tbere was a dog trained to mu on er rands for his master , who was trotting home one evening along a by-road, with a basket containing hot pies for his master's supper, when two highway men dogs burst out upon him and 'while he dogfully fought one, the other burgiariously broke into his basket.— Thu dog who was waylaid saw instant ly that fighting would not save the pies; they must go, and it resolved itself into a question who should eat them. lie at once gave up his contest:with the adversary, if the pies were to be eaten —among dogs, at least—his right was the best, so he immediately darted on the basket and devoured all that re mained. A story of an elephant again comes to the surface. At Macassar an ele phant driver had a cocoanut given him which he wantonly struck twice against the elephant's fore.head to break it. The next day they were passing by some cocoanuts in the street exposed for sale. The elephant took ep one and began to knock it on the driver's head; the result, unhappily, was fatal. .Elephants commonly discriminate so 'well, as to apportion punishment to the offense %must them—they are con siderate, niereillil and magnanimous. Another story of an elephant, we think occurs in one of Mr. Broderip's books. A visitor to an elephant at a fair, having given him one by one a number of good ginger-bread nuts, thought it as good joke to end by giving him at once a bag full of the hottest kind. The ele, phant, distressed with pain, took bucket full after bucket fall of water, and the joker warned of his danger had barely escaped over the threshold before the bucket was flung violently after hie de parting figure. A year afterward the foolish fellow came again with ginger bread in one pocket and hot spice in the other. He began with his donations of ginger-bread and then modestly sub stituted one hot nut. The moment it was tasted by the elephant, the offender was remembered and caught up into the air by his clothes ; his weight tore them and he fell, leasing the elephant his tails and some part of his trowsers. The animal putting them on the floor, s et his foot upon them, and having de , liberatelypicked out of the pockets and ' eaten all the ginger-bread that he con sidered orthodox, he trod on the rim* and threw the tails away. The cape baboons appear to hare a tact for battle like the tiaffres. Lieut. Shipp headed twenty men to recapture sundry coats and trowsers stolen by a cape I b Kat. Ile made a circuit to cut ott the marauders from their caverns; they observed him, and detaching a small trot.p t o !Taunt the entrance, kept their posts. They could be seen collect ing large stones under the active super intendance of an old gray-headed ba boon, who appeared t. , 4) Se issuing his orders a' a ger,eral. The soldiers rush ed to the atta , k, when down came au avalanche ofewrinous stones, and Brit ons lett baboots masters of the skull. turn. Of monkey's rricks the Indians have an amusing falle. A man went on a journey with a Monkey and a gout; he took with him fir his refreshment rice and curds.—Anivin.g at a tank, the man resolved to bithe and dine. While he was in his heti, the monkey ate his dinner, and havitg wiped his mouth and pews on the goat's beard he loft the goat to settle his account. When the man came out of the bath, and found his dinner gale it was quite easy to see by the goat's beard who had stolen it. The monkey was no ass. The sense of asses is not rated very high; but that is a mistake about them. They are shrewder people that we take them for, and kinder-hearted as well. A poor higisier living near limn& had an am for big only tsympanion.and partner in the business. The hider being pal sled, was accustomed to assist himself often upon the road by bolding to the ass's tail. Onoe on their travels dur ing a severs winter, man and ass were plunged into a mew wreath near Rude Water. After a hard striggie the ass got out, but knowing that the helpless master was still buried hoehis way to him and placed hiresel so that his tail' lay rwdy bo his part '8 head.-.- The Weer grasped it an as dragged tAI iireurn IS )(MUTT, AND WILL PREVAIL." out to a place of safety. Zoologically speaking, it ought not to be thought disrespectful in a man to call his friend "un ass." Elephants again. They shay their good taste, and are very fond of ehildren. Dr. Darwin says: The keeper of an elephant, in his journey in Itulia, some times leaves hint fixed to the ground by a length of chain while he goes into the woods to collect food filor him': and, by way of rectiptoual attention, asks the elephant to mind hi* child—e child un able to walk—while be is gone, The animal defbruis it : lets it creep about his logs; and, when it creCps to the ex tremity of the chain, he gently *rape his trunk about the: Enfant's - body and rings it again into the middle of the circle. We cannot clear our minds of ele phants ,withttut unbarthening a which wo have from , a tale-tellertZ Indian experienee,and which we imagine to be now first told in print.. It causes us to feel that in a Parliament of ani mals, elephants would have divided in favor of a ten-hours' bill: There wag a large ship's rudder to be fioateds men were busy about it one evening, when a file of elephants were passing on the way home from work ! and it. was pro posed and carried that an elephant might as well save them their pains, and push the thing into the water for them. So an elephant was brought and put his head down end appeared to push with might., but net a beam stirred. Anot,h er was brought to help him with tLe same result;, and finally, as many ele phants as the rudder would allow, seem ed to be busy and did nothing. So the elephantswent home. They had struck, and declined working out, of business hours. Next morning on the way to work, one elephant was, again brought, and pushed the rudder down into the water ahnost as a man might push a walking-stick. Stories illustrative of the kindness, gratitude and kindred feelino of which animals are capable,• have no end ; one follows another; for in fact,' the ,ani mals, bird, beast and fish, are all fellows, if you come to know :Lit properly. A rat tame! by a prisoner at Genes slept. in his bosom. 'Punished for sonic fault, it ran away, but its anger or its fear died and its love lived on ; in a month it returned. The prisoner was released and au the joy of liberty it did no come into his mind to take his old companion with him. The rat doildd itself up in aoiae old clothes left by his friend, all that was left of him, abstain ed from food and died in three days. A surgeon at Dover Saw in the streets , a wounded terrier, and like a true man took it borne with him, eared it in two days, and let it go. The terrier ran home resolvied to pay- the doctor by in stallments. For many sneceeding weeks he paid a daily visit to the surgery, wagged his tail violently for some min utes and departed.
