of ejectment. Winter over, the Indian
came back. His great father may have
been dining heartily, and indisposed to

became effectual, and brought the tame

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

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."

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;

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

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.

of tholgospel ought to take part in the

nese towards him to diminish his indu
ence. I feel convineed; front what I
have observed, that the only result that
tan be expected from a minister taking
part in the political eoutests and dieens=
mons of the 'day will be to engender
strife and hard Ebeling in his oongroga
tion.
Bat some may ask, whether we are
not citizens like other men, and have
not duties to perform as such Y Moet
certainly we are, and I trust I have not
proved recreant to the obligations rest
mg upon me as a citizen, although I
have not, for the forty years filet I have
been In the ministry, ever entered a po
litical- meeting, or spent above Ave
minutes at any one election. I have
always made it a point to go to the polls
at the most quiet time of the day, when
there was likely to be the least excite
ment—to deposit my ballot hi an unos
tentatious manner, and return home: I
have never seen the time when I thought
I was called upon as a 'citizen to do more
than this. I know not how it may be
with others, but I have always found
enough to do In the duties of my calling.
I am willing to" let the potsherds strive
with the potsherds," but prefer tae my
self to attend to the duties devolving
upon me as a minister of Christ. I
recollect an anecdote of a Methodist
brother who was stationed to preach
the gospel to the peopte in "Fountain
Head Circuit," near the hermitage of
the late President Jackson, in ;the ex
citing political times of his seeend elec
tion. Party zeal was just then at its
height, and each party wanted every
one to be on its side. They sought
out the newly arrived • minister, and
eagerly inquired &him whose Bide 'he
was on 1 "I am on the side qr the Lord
and the Fountain Bead Cifiait," was
the reply. Which of the candidates do
you Intend to vote the?, "I trust that
I shall be found on - my knees, praying to
God ftir the convertion of sinners and
the nibuilding• of Mon in Fountain
Ilead eficuit." 'However they might
question the devoted mihistor he would
wisely answer that he meant to do his
duty faithfully as a Miniiter of Christ
in "Fountain Head eirenit." In Con
chislonrlet me say; my brethren," go ys
and de likewise.
