The Mnnkey procossion.

A traveller in Africa was one day aston
ished to observe a vast procession of mon
keys marching over plain, with counte-
nances Indicative of the deepest sorrow.
There was the little frisky green monkey
but his countenance was grave aud wo-be-
gone; there was the red monkey, and the
balloon, and the chimpanZe, and all seemed
full of grief, as if some great calamity had
befallen them. Instead of the leaps and
irolics and grimaces usually seen among this
four-handed family, they marched forward
with long and regular steps TO grave and
solemn tune, sung by choir of appointed
howlers. After marching considerable
distance, the vast procession, consisting of
many thousands, approached low mound
of earth. Here the head of the train halted,
and the rest came up and arranged them
selves around the mound. Then the whole
troop set up most piteous wall; then some
of them began to dig into the mound of
earth. and pretty soon they disclosed the
half decayed skeleton of a monkey. This
was raised upon an altar, and then all the
monkeys bowed down to the bones, and paid
them reverence. Then one of the most no.
ted of the monkeys, a famous lawyer among
them, stood up and made an eloquent adj
dress. The monkeys, apes and balloons
sobbed, and sighed, and howled, as the ora
tor proceeded. At length he finished with a
pathetic and sublime flourish, and the con-
gregation shed tears, and wiped their eyes,
and then they laid the bones in the ground
again, and they then heaped up the earth
over il to vast height; and they reared a
monument upon it, with an inscription set
ting forth the virtues and services of the
dead monkey, and then they all went away.
After the multitude had dispersed, the
traveller went TO the orator, and asked what
all this meant; whereupon he said that it
was the custom with the monkeys, when
any one rose up among them of supreme
sagacity, or superior excellence, to envy and
hate him---to prosecute him and put him to
death; but after many years they always
dug up the decayed bones and worshiped
them, to testify their gratitude, and repair
their injustice, by honoring the memory of
the monkey that they had reviled while liy-
ing. This sounded SO ridiculous to the
traveller that he laughed outright; but he
was soon rcbuked by the monkey, who
smoke gravely as follows: "Your mirth,
sir traveller, is illtimed, and shows want
of due reflection. We monkeys are great
imitators. and in this matter we do but fol-
low the fashion of our betters. Some mon
KEYS have travelled as well as you, sir, and
they tell us that mankind usually revile those
who are remarkable for goodness OF neat
ness, while they are living, and often bring
them to n premature grave, either by per-
secution or neglect; but afterways when
their bones are decayed, they make up for
their folly and injustice, by paying great
honor to their memory, digging mp their re-
mains, singing hymns, delivering oratlons.
and erecting monuments over their ashes"

CHAPTER v.

Praythee, take him in thy arms,

| Crushed by the anguish of his despair,
Charles Stuart bowed his head upon the
table in his solitary room, and medltated
upon the desperate scheme his friend had
proposed. The hurricane beat upon case
ment, but he heard it not.
sc Oh, julia" he sighed, " beloved ofmy
life sweet star in the gloomy horizon of
my youth! Why am / parted from thee /?
Why do pine for the light of thy smiles!
Why do our hearts suffer thus? Must it he
sol Shall we never be united?"
I" Never!', shouted mad voice at the
door, which was flung suddenly opon, and
admitted Mr.. Maring, driven by thunder
gust, that had left its dark scrowl upon his
face. Aaa
j" Where is she, villain? Where's my
daughter, scoundre? Speak, puppy
DON'T look or me, monkey! Where is she,

meat!' -
I" You'll do nothing of the sorti' brawled
a louder voice at his back: as a stronger
arm felled him senseless to the floor. Twas
the arm of the woodman. Kicking over
the table and lamp, he seized the bewilder-
ed Charles by the waist, threw him over his
shoulders, and strobe out into the storm, as
if he were but bearing hare from the
chase.

Oh how the spring Of love resembleth

Which now shows all the beauty ofthe sun,
And by and by cloud takes all away.

The storm with its tumult had passed
away. The early dawn dimly lighted the
quaint columns and high arches of the old
chapel of Arnwood. The single undying
candle burnt family before the altar. The
pious old priest knelt solemnly at his devo-
lions, while the happy Charles walked
musingly back and forth, awaiting impa-
tently the coming of the bride. He had
completed the arrangements they had agreed
upon. Presently she entered; blushing in
her beauty, and leaning on the arm of the
sturdy cottager who found her in the forest.
She slowly approached the altar, and looked
tenderly upon the bridegroom.
But she started back in alright.
" Good heavens % said he
90 Good gracious ~ said she.
Sc What bIunder is this 7" said he.
Z" Horrible % said she.
" Some wretched mistaken said he.
:" You are not my Charlesl'' said she.
&c Nor you my Julis!'' groaned he.
" Mop she shrieked; and was carried
out fainting in the arms of her unlucky pre-
server.

Pittsburgh.

In manufactures Of all sorts, Pittsburgh
may be said to monopolze the trade OF the
West, and of a great portion OF tie Lakes.
Her steam power is furnished at cheaper
rate than il can be supplied AT the East
She has coal in abundance at her doors, ana
the advantage in these elements places her
comparatively beyond competition.
There are eleven rolling mills IN and
about Pittsburgh OF these, eight are ca
pablc of producing 1000 tons each Of manu-
featured iron annually, and employ nearly
$50 hands 10 the mill. This iron is of a
superior quality, and is used for boilers,
axles, wire, sheets, and the like. The pig
metal is supplied principally from the char
coal furnaces along the river. The other
mills are of smaller dimensions and power,
but are constantly increasing their facilities
and extent of operations. At the extensive
and well conducted mill Of Messrs. Wood,
K Meningitis, n remarkable specimen of
workmanship was pointed out 10 me. IL
was ia inch rod, weighing $40 pounds,
and 223 feet in length, which had been
rolled at single heat. Among the craft
this is regarded as very extraordinary
performance, and is perhaps uncquallcd.-

passing through the groove, ranges from %

-'' Twas rough night ''-.nacbeth.
The storm howled horribly. The wind
swelled and struggled impetuously through
the forest. The trees rocked and crashed
together; and fire and hail, and horrible
tempest poured mady from the skies. In
deed the wild havoc of the hurricane was
terrible to witness. In momentary pause
of the tumult, a voice was heard amid the
uproar; voice of fear: a voice for help in
darkness. The cottager by the roadside
heard the mysterious voice; his heart lept
at the cry, and he rushed out into the storm.
A blast of wind dashed the pine brand from
his hand in an instant; and he stood alone
without guide in impenetrable darkness.
A gain that voice of terror was heard amid
the tumult, and he pressed bravely to the
rescue. f M IS

In the woodlands cottage was neither
light nor fire. All was dark and lonely. A
light would have disclosed a weeping maid
en-, in melancholy plight, seated on low
stool in the corner of the apartment. She
had committed rash act, but love had led
the maiden from duty. She had no COM
fort in her afiiction---no hope for the future.
Suddenly the door flew open, and the cot
tager entered, and threw into her arms the
dripping form of the half unconscious lover.

ssThe Fairest and the First.c

FROM UtS .HOtites .dOHttty SVuf n.y.
The Fairest and the First,
Thou art welcome, little stranger!
Thou art welcome to our earth:
Affections star hath given thee
A bright, suspicious birth.
Though in thy placid innocence,
Unconscious thou dost lie,
And know st not what world OF love
Isbeaming on thy way!
And thou, oh! gentle mother'
What must thy rapture be,
As thou holdest to thy bosom,
Gods precious gift to thee!
The pure, untarnished casket,
That enshrined deafness soul,
Formed by His own creation,
He has placed in thy control!
He has yielded thee treasure,
Whose value none can tell;
But OH the priceless jewel,
Must be watched over well!
Must be guided by the wisdom
Which He alone can send;
And with prayer and earnest teaching,
Thou must this pearl-drop tend!
And moreover, thou must fasten
The truth upon thy heart,
That from our earthly treasures,
We must at sometime part.
That so thou wilt be ready
To yield thy precious gem,
When e'er the Saviour needs it,
\ To grace his diadem.
And may His watchful mercy
Be over thee and thine;
And save thy heart from bowling
Unto an idol shrine.
And whilst with gushing tenderness,
This lily bud you lave,
Oh! then, with praise, young mother!
Remember Him who gave!
