nearly blaming a servant. it was found that
a monkey was the thief. As for tumblers
and various earihern vessels, | know not how
many they have broken and loaves Of bread,

lures have gone a short distance, they sit

ought to have said before, that they delight
in my letters and notes and, after looking
gravtly at tbehI fur a -short time, they tear
them to pieces.
Sometimes they get on the bed, and stretch
themselves, then roll about in their gambols,
and ldave plenty of marks behind. At other
times they admire themselves in the looking
glass, and try 10 touch what they believed to
be one of their own kin. Not long ago they
broke one Of them, and carried off a beautiful
silver watch. They were soon on the top Of
a neighbours house, and commenced their ex-
periments the glass was forthwith broken,
the seconds hand, which no doubt astonish-
ed them by lis movement, was torn of, and
the other hands were served in the same way.
The " tick-tick" Of the watch was the great
est p%uzzler Of all. The servants were after
them bu, no, Jacko could run well, and did
not wish 10 part with his prize. A fine loaf
of bread, however, was brought and placed at
some distance, and pug could not resist that.
lie left the watch for what TO him was much
better, and the watch was regalned, though
sadly injured. This unfortunate Transaction,
however, had only excited their curiosity /;
and they one day succeeded in dragging from
a table a large old watch belonging to the
writer Of this paper, and carried it to the top
of the house; but they were detected in their
villany, and were frightened away.

helend Of the time. those who are elassed,
after rigid examination, as excellent" get
diplomas and permanent situations as teach
ers, while those marked "good" or " passa.
ble," are employed for a time on probation.
Teachers frequently return for further i'm
provement.
Each graduate Of a normal school agrees
10 hold himself in readiness TO fill the place
of teachers when called upon by the authori-
ties, at any time within three years after leav-
ing, or 10 refund the full expenses Of his nor
NAL education.
The installation Of a school teacher is made
an imposing ceremony, and he pledges him
self to faithfully discharge his duties, by taxi
ing a solemn oath. 1t is regarded, indeed,
as a sacred calling, and he is forbidden 10
engage in any other pursuit which may les
sen the dignity or efficiency Of his Office
For any misconduct he is subject TO careful
trial before suitable Judges, and disgrace or
dismissal. He is commonly married. and a
house is as regularly furnished him as the
minister. As a favored character, he is grant,
ed peculiar privileges. and is exempt from
certain burdens. When disabled by sick
ness or old age, he has a retiring allowance,
and his widow and orphans are aided after
his death.
The provision by The State for the general
support of education is exceedingly liberal.
In addition TO the school rate levied upon
each householder in every parish in the coun-
try, TO supper, its own schools, large sums
are annually expended for public instruction
by the government.
The poorer localities are aided ; books, the
necessary implements, and a garden, are usu-
ally furnished to each school, and when the
parents are too indigen, 10 send their children
~decently clad, they are sometimes provided
with clothing at the public expense.
But the most curious feature in The system
is the rigid exactness with which the govern
ment secures the participation Of its bounty,
1t is actually made a crime for any Prussian
to neglect to educate his child. Nor is this
regulation a dead letter, but il is carefully
enforced. Registers are kept OF all the chill
dren Of the school age, or that are from seven
10 fourteen, in each parish, and these are
compared with the school lists. Parents OF
guardians wishing to educate their children
by private tuition, receive special permission
from the local school commiue bui all 9th
ers not represented in the school by their
children, must send a certificate from a ply
stefan or clergyman OF the disability If their
children from III health, or be summoned be-
fore the school authorities. For the neglect
Of what the Prussian law terms the duty of
&" Christians and conscientious parents to-
wards their children" in not sending them
TO school, the former are at first severely re-
prlmanded then, if refractory, they are fined
and deprived Of any offices in the church or
school, and of poor relief; and finally, if me-
cessary, they are sentenced 10 Imprisonment
or hard labor; and, as unworthy Of the charge
of their children, guardians are appointed 10
attend 10 the education of the latter.

CHAPTER ".
'tAs you have mentioned the ~convicts in
the States Prison." said Mrs. Selden TO her
son, Z" | would like to show you how much
moro regard is paid 10 their wants, than TO
those Of the slaves. l have already told you
Of their miserable huts, and you know there
can be none Of the comforts OF home in such
a wretched place."
When the rain comes in and drives them
out said Charlie, " don't their beds and ev-
cry thing get wetl"
"T'hey have nothing that can properly be
called a bed, so many persons say, who have
lived in the south, and are well acquainted
with their situation. They are generally fur
nished with one old blanket, and sometimes
two. Some have bundle OF straw or a few
old rags to lie on, while others sleep on the
cold ground. They would consider them
selves fortunate indeed could they have such
nice beds as the prisoners have.
Is" do not wish you 10 think the situation
of the prisoner by any means a pleasant one.
Oh! it is dreadful 10 be shut out from the
beautiful world, from all the sources Of hap
piness, almost from the sunlight and the re-
freshiny air Of heaven TO be confined in a
narrow cell, and never hear the sound Of a
human voice-as is the case Of some prison
ers-orb be allowed 10 look upon a human face,
save that of the grim keeper who controls The
heavy bolt that confines The sufferers in that
solitary abode. Oh the very thought Of it
makes my blood run cold, and | wonder how
human beings ever could have devised such
a mode of torture. But when | think of tie
slave, | see that he is the victim of a system
that far exceeds in cruelty any form of pun
ishment eve. invented"
"Do tell me how il is, mother; ! cannot
see," said Charlie, show slavery can be
worse than that"
"Criminals are generally imprisoned, !" she
replied, " for a few years only-the period Of
the Slaves bondage in the great prison house
of oppression ends but with death. The con-
Wet, when his term expires, goes out a fee

Monkeys in India.

Strangers are very much surprised 10 see
monkeys romping about on the tops OF the
houses in Madras. or dashing across the
streets; and sailors, on landing, are greatly
amused with them, and try 10 catch them, or
hit them with sticks or stones; but all in
vain, as they soon Jump out of the way, and
then show their teeth as if in contempt for
the assailant. Some years ago these animals
were so numerous, so mischievous, and so
destructive to property, especially in pulling
of tiles, and in stealing from people in the
market and the bazars, that it was determin-
ed to put the depredators in cages, and carry
them off TO the distant jungles; for the peo-
pie had a great aversion to kill them. After
much trouble many were caught; but they
were so very refractory, that some of them
received a dozen lashes each, and were sent
far away. Many of them found their way
back again, and now the inhabitants are as
much troubled as ever.
Within the last eight or ten months they
have played all kinds Of pranks in our house,
for as we are obliged to allow the doors and
windows to be open on account of the heat,
they can easily get into any apartment. l

The World has much of Beautiful.


The world has much Of beautiful,
II man could only see;
A glory in the beaming stars,
The lowest budding tree;
A splendor from the farthest east,
Unto the farthesi west;
Aye every thing is beautiful,
And we are greatly blest.
'Tis only that our eyes are dim
And clouded, that we go
So s%orrowful, aud lonely like,
Along our path below {;
For kindling sights are in tho skies,
And on the spicy air,
And beauty bids US wake aud see
That love is everywhere.
Is not the morning light our own,
The cold and mellow eve1
Do not the voices of the flowers
Forbid the soul to grieye {;
Why are we sad and lonely, then
The earth is bright and gay,
And hope, with golden wing, inspires
The heart from day to day.
There is a host Of angels who
With every throng,
II we could only list awhile,
The cadence of their song
They speak in every sunny glance
That flashes on the stream,
In every holy thrill Of ours,
And every lofty dream.
We know not half the good that lies
Around our pathway here
We smother blessings with a sigh,
Or drown it with a tear ;
And think the earth is made amiss,
Because in lonely hours
We see among the thorns Of life
No soft and soothing flowers.
The world is good and beautiful,
We all may know it well,
For there are many thousand tongues
That every day can tell
What love has cheered them on the way,
Der every i'll above
II only needs a goodly heart
To know that all is Love-
Then murmur not, good traveller,
But see the brighter years
That beam beyond the dark to-day,
So hidden by thy tears;
Still toll away, and hope away,
For soon the i'll is past,
And death will steer thy shattered bark
To better climes at last.
