THE Fox AND THE P1Gs.-Much has
been written to show the reasoning pow
ers Of the brute creation; but nothing
that l have ever read of the dog, the
horse, the elephant, the spider, the ant,
or the bee, seems to prove more clearly
that brutes or insects think and form con-
clusions, than that which l am about TO
relate of the action of foxes.
On a certain day, many years ago,
farmer, in the northern part of Connecti-
cut, was witness 10 the following pro-
ceeding on the part Of fox, that had
somewhere secured for himself small
pig, and was taking it on his back to his
burrow. On coming to small, rapid
stream, he seemed to hesitate for while
on the bank, and then laid down the
dead pig, and went on into a piece of
woods near by, from which he soon re-
turned, with stick Of wood in his
mouth. He laid the wood down, and
took up the pig, and then again laid the
pig down, and took up the wood. Not
seeming to be satisfied with the trial, he
went again to the woods and brought
back larger stipk than before. He
made the same trial again, by taking up
the pig and comparing it with the wood
he had brought. Being apparently salts
fled with the trial, he took the wood in
his mouth and swan across the stream
and then returned with it to the side
where the pig was lying on the bank, and
laying it down, he took up the pig and
crossed the stream with it in safety and
bore it away for his own breakfast or
that of his cubs. Let any one explain
the action of the fox as he may, the truth
of the story may be relied on.
AT another time, fox made his way
into pen, which was built of rails, in
which was fine family of pigs along
with their natural protector: the mother.
The fox was afraid to attempt taking one
of the pigs, until he was sure that he
could make his escape from the pen with
it in safety. So he took stick Of wood
in his mouth, and sprung through the
opening between the rails with it, and
then sprung back again, and repeated the
operation Of springing backward and for
ward with the stick in his mouth, until
he was satisfied that it would be safe
prize. But he was mistaken. He had
not made the proper calculation for the
difference between straight stick and a
living, struggling pig; and before he
could get through the aperture, he found
himself in the jaws Of the mother; and
instead of making his breakfast from
young pig, he was himself dcvoured.-

A sHIpwRECK on THE RHINE.

A correspondent of the New York
Post gives the following amusing anecdote
of shipwreck on the Rhine:
l must tell you of shipwreck-yes
a shipwreck upon the Rhine, a little
stream about fifty yards wide, and only
two or three feet deep! We had made
toierabie progress up to one o'clock. when
the machinery came TO stop, and the
French hands went to shouting and run
ming about the little deck, like so many
monkeys stark mad. What they said, or
what happened, it was impossible for the
best scholar and most sagacious man on
board to divine; but after the most dill
gent inquiries we at last discovered that
the main shaft Of the engine was broken.
The wind was sweeping down the gorge
of the river in perfect gale; the current
was extremely rapid, while there was.
directly in front Of us, a stone bridge,
with sharp, projecting abutments. 1t was
seen by all at "a glance, that if the long,
frail boat, with her heavy cargo, should
dash broadside against the bridge, she
must inevitably break into bits, like a
pipe stem, and the passengers looked
earnest and terrified. The captain drop
ped his anchor astern TO check her head
way, but the force of the wind and cur
rent together, enabled the vessel to drag
it after her as if it had been mere chip
in the water. What was then to be done
no one seemed to know, when tall fel-
low from Kentucky, that ! had not before
observed, rose straight from his seat, like
the blade Of jacknite springing out Of
the handle, and shouted in one Of the
most unquestionable western dialects,
Why, in hell's name, don't you send
that boat out with rope anil hitch on to
one of them trees thar? which, and be-
interpreted to the captain, gave him the
first practical idea he seemed to have had
for a considerable length of time. He
adopted the suggestion, and in less than
five minutes the boat swung quietly
around to one shore, with her nose, how
ever, smelling suspiciously at the bridge.
