The Constitution of Man may be said to be

THE HEART is first formed, which mus

rests, is as immovabe as the laws which gov

DO BRUTES REASON?

The last number of the Northern Light,
a valuable periodical published in Alba
ny. has an essay on this question by Will
lis Gayl lord, from which we take the FOL-
lowing answer.
1t appears very evident that brutes
perform various actions which can fairly
be attributed to neither instinct nor imi-
tation. but must be classest with the re-
suit of reflection. That animals remem-
Der, will be disbuted by noe-one-the
very fact of their having memory and
acting upon it. proves The power of COM
bining and infering. The horse that eats
his oats from the half-bushel tosd day, re-
members 3theafact to. morrow. and infers
when the measure is brought to view
that another meal is in readiness. while
his heigh Of pleasure .attests his gratifica-
ton at the prospect. The sportsman's dog
is as we'll aware as his master what is
intended, when the shooting apparatus is
brought ont, and his conduct shows that
! he relishes the sport askeenly. This is
not the result Of instinct, as the taste is
an acquired one. and it is a power not
widely different from reason, and excited
by memory. that combines and connects
14the sight Of the gun with the sports of
the held. There is no reason whatever
to imagine that actions in brute. I'M
plying the possession aud action of the
reasoning powers may not, and should
not be attributed to such cause in the
brute, as we'll as in the man. A few
years since we were passing by ar or
'chard in which yoke of cattle we're pas
tured. The apples were ripe. the cattle
were very fond of them. and those that
fell were quickly eaten by them. Grad
ual|y they had eaten from the branches
all within their reach, and were now
compelled to wait for such as fell oil
themselves. We observed one.es the OK
en- to walk repeatedly around one Of the
trees, and make number of Intellectual
efforts to reach some of the fruit. Sud.
denly he stopped, took one Of the branch
es between his teeth, and gave the tree
several violent shakes. The apples rat
tied off merrily; he let go. the branch
and had heartysnneal as the reward Of
his sagacitv. The only question is. did
he design to shake off the fruit? 1t car
only be said if a man had wished to &C,
conlpIsh that effect he could not have dc
vised more skilful method, or gone
more directly TO the end in view; why
then refuse to the one what we granite
the other? BY common consent the title
OF s'half reasoning" has been awarded Il
he elephant, and multitude of proofs
might be CITED 10 show that the appella
ton is not undeserved. He has beer
known after stepping uponsa bridge to e
fuse to cross it as unsafe, and prefer
swimming the river with his attendant, t.
passing the bridge. A shilling was
thrown to an elephant IN managerie; il
rolled to the side Of the place in which be
was coutined, and lodged close to the
foot Of the upright boards that formed
the partition. The prehensble par
