THE MAN-MONKEY OF BRAZIL. • The captain of the French schooner Andii enne, who last slimmer Was 'stationed at Per nambuoo, Brazil, gives Chambers' Journal the following sketch of a tame monkey A short time ago, I dined, at_ a Brazilian merchant's. The conversation ttirited upon the well-tutored chimpanzee of Mr. Vanneelt a Creole gentleman, whose slave had brought him the monkey, which he had caught in the wood:" Every ono prized the adoomplished animal, giving accounts of its talents so won derful, that I could not help expressing some incredulity. .My_host smiled, saying that I was not the first who would not believe in these_resulte_utimimal_e‘dac ation_until_h_e_lt ad seen it"with his own eyes. He therefore pro posed to me to call on Mr. Vanneck. I glad ly consented, and on the following morning we set out. The house of the- creole lies on the road tioOlinda, about an hour" ride from town. We proceeded : along splendid hedges of Cactus, shaded by bananas and palm trees and at length observed the charming villa. A negro received us at the entrance and took us to the parlor, hastening to tell his master of our visit. The first object which caught our attention was the Monkey seated on a stool aMI sowing with great industry. Much 'struck I watched Lim attentively, while he, not pay ing any attention to us, proceeded with his work. The door °paned, and Mr. Vanneck reclining on his easy chair, was wheeled in. Though his legs are paralyzed, he seemed bright an.] cheerful ; he welcomed us mos kindly. The monkey went on sewing with great zeal. I could not refrain from exclaim ing " How wonderful !" for the manner and processes of the animal were those of a prnc tined tailor. Ile was sowing a pair of strip• ed pantaloons, the narrow shape of which showed that they were intended for him self. A negroe now appeared, announcing Ma dam Jasmin, Mr. Vanueck introduaVd as his neighbor. Madam Jasmin was accompanied by her little daughter, a girl of twelve years, who immediately ran to the monkey, greeting him as an old friend, and beginning to prattle with him. Jack furtively peeped at his mas ter; but as. Mr. Vanueck's glance was stern, the tailor went on sewing. Suddenly his thread broke ; and ho put the end to his mouth, smoothed it with his lips, twisted it with his left paw, and threaded his needle again. Mr Vauneck then. turned to him, and speaking to him tu .the same calm tone in which he had conversed with us; .4 , Jack, put your work aside and sweep the fool-." Jack hurried to the adjoining room, and came back without`delay, a broom hi his paw, and swept and dusted like a clever house maid. I could now perfectly make out his size, as he always walked upright, not on his four hands. lie was about three feet in high t but stooped a little. lie was clad in liunen pantaloons, a colored shirt, a jacket, and a red neckerchief. At another hint from his master, Jack went and brought several glasses of lemonade on a tray. Ile first presented the tray to Madam Jasmin and her daughter then to us, precisely like a well-bred footman. Whew" had emptied my glass, he hastened to relieve me from it, putting it back on the tray. Mr. Vanneck took out his watch, and showed •it tollte monkey; it was just three. Jack went and brought a cup of broth to his mas ter, whd remarked that the monkey did not know the movements of the watch, but that he knew exactly the position4f the hands when they pointed to three, an 4 kept in mind that it was then his master) required his luncheon.. If the watch was,shown to him at any other hour, bo did not go to fetch the broth ; while if three o'clock passed without the luncheom-being called for, he got fidgety, and at het ran and brought it; in this case he was always rewarded with some sugar plums. " You have no notion," said Mr. Vanneck, " how much time and trouble, and especially how much patience I have bestowed on the training of this animal. Confined to my chair, however, I continued my task method ically. Nothing more diffibult than to accus tom Jack to his clothes; he used 1,0 take ,off his pantaloons again and again, until at last I had them sewed to his shirt. When he Waiks out with me, he wears a straw , hat,l hilt noVer without making ,fearful grimaces. lie ta)tes bath ovary day, and is, on the whole, veri cleanly. _ " Jack," exclaimed Mr; Vanneols, pointing _ to me, ‘ 4 thts gentleman wants his handker chief." The monkey drew it.from,my_pocket and handed it to rue. " Now show your room to my guests'," con tinued his master ; and Jack opened the door, at which ho stopped to let us pass, and then followed himself. Everything was extremely tidy in the small room. There was a bed with a mattress, a table, some chairs, draw ors, and various toys; a gun hung on. the wall, The boll was rung; Jack went end re, appeared with his meter wheeling in the chair. Meanwhile I had taken the gnu from the wall ; Mr. Vanneck handed it to the monkey, who fetched the powder flask and the shot bag, and in the whole prwooss of loading, acquitted himself like a rifleman. I had already seen so much that was astonish ing, that I hardly felt surprised at this feat. Tack now placed himself at the opon window, took aim, and discharged the gun without being in the least startled by the report. Ile then went through sword•excrdises with the same skill. It would be too long to jot down all Mr. Vanneck told us about his method of educa tion and training; the above fact?, witnessed by myself, bear sufficient — evidence of the abilities of the animal, and its master's talent for tuition. We stayed to supper, to which there came some more ladies and gentlemen. Jack again exhibited his cleverness in wait ing, at which ho acquitted himself as well us 111 any man servant. Gains he lie my ~curpuu ion missed a small box of sweets, out of which he had regaled the monkey with almonds.— Jack had managed to steal it from the pocket; and on being afterwards convicted of the theft, he was severely punished by his mas ter. POCKETS. What about a youngster's dress is hit -more -proud of- than hie pockets?---Does -his-mother forget to insert a pocket in his apron she is quickly reminded of it, and obtains no peace until the omission is supplied. What mother ever finished her boy's first pantaloons without a pocket on either side? And with his legs encased in the little cloth tubes, as- he .struts off, where are his hands? Has his mother lost her thimble, where can .she find it? Is anything ever suffered to lie loose on the floor, small enough to go in his pocket? And at a later stage of life, when the world's goods begin to attract his attention, and that de cidedly human nature commences stealing over him, and his pockets are larger, and ho has more of them, are they less .used? Lot the following expositor answer: A mother in a neighboring village says she emptied her hope ful son's pockets the other day, and the follow ing articles were brought to light: Sixteen marbles, one top, an oyster shell, two pieces of brick, one doughnut, a piece of currye 'rub, one paint brush, three -wax-ends, a handful of corks, a chisel, two broken knives, a skate strap, three buckles, one ball, two primers, five hen's eggs, and a bird's nest, kta—A pretty woman is like a great truth or a great happiness, and has no more right to bundle herself under a veil or any similar abomination, than tho sun has to put on green spectacles. pubthatio iii.
