Why don't you Cry, you Fool Z

The trial at the Salisbury Assizes, lately,
OF an unncky wight, who had been helping
himself TO his neighbor's goods, gave rise to
piece of ingenuity OH the part of a well
known lawyer, which TO us, who Glanced 10
witness II, was somewhat amusing. The
prisoner had been defended by counsel, and
everything that could he said on his behalf
had been said, but The case against him was
100 palpabIe to admit of a shadow of doubt,
aud a verdict of guilty was pronounced.
The judge seemed 10 look upon the cuI-
rrit, rough looking fellow, destitute alike
oil friends and character, with some degree
OF pity, previous 10 passing the sentence OF
the law upon him commenced giving him a
few words of advice. The benevolence of
his lnrdshiP's tone was not thrown away up
| on the lawyer, who seemed 10 feel that as
long as there was Il chnnce Of helring his
client, he was bound TO do his utmost. I'm.
observed, therefore, he al once whip; behind
the dock, and putting his hands TO the sides
of his mouth, whispered TO the prisoner as
loud as prudence would permit-why don't
| YOU cry, YOU fool Be quick-,you'll save a

| took the hint rubbed his eyes with his
kuuckles, and for n moment seemed over
come by sense Of the degraded situation in
which he stood. The dodge answered. 4
rust said his lordship, 'rhnr the sense Of
shame which you now feel will prevent you
from appearing again in such situation in a
court, and in thar hope am induced TO pnss
upon you much lighter sentence than

This Corntv, for The space of one calendar

Brooding Places Of the Falk-
land Islands.

By the name of brooding Places the nav-
gators of the south seas understand places Sc
lecled by various sea fowls, where they in com
mon build their nes:, lay their eggs, and bring
up their young Here they assemble in i'm
mense masses, and in the laying out and con-
slrucion of these places, exhibiting great eau
lon, judgment and industry.
When sufficient number have assembled
on the shore, they appear first to hold con-
suliation, and then set about executing the
great purpose for which they have come to-
gether. s-s ilv .t.Elaess a.ci i.. era
First they choose out a level spot of suffi-
cient extent, often of four or five acres near the
beach. In this way they avoid ground that is
too stony, which would be dangerous 10 theil
eggs. Next, they deliberate on the plan Of
their future camp, after which they lay out
regular parallelogram, offering room enough
for tie brother'and sisterhood, somewhere from
one TO FIVE acres. One side of the place is
bounded by the sea, and is always left open ior
entrance and exit; the other three sides are IN
closed with wall of stones and roots.
These industrious feathered workers first Of
all remove from the place all obstacles to then
design, they take up the stones with their bills
and carry them 10 the boundaries to compose
the wall. Within this wall they bnild a per
fectly smooth and even foot path, some SIX ol
eight feet wide, which is used BY day as pub
lie promenade, and by night for the back ant
forward march of the sentinels.
| After they have in this way completed thei
embankments on the three landward sides, the,
lay out the interior into equal little quadrangle

Hitherto Iinle regard has been paid 10 IT,
structure OF halls and churches with refer
ence to the laws Of sound. Both hearers ana
speakers have suffered greatly as the result
OF this ina;ention. Architects, however, are
directing their thoughts and studies to this
subject. Ease in speaking is not dependent
50 much upon Ihe size as upon The construc-
t'on OF The building. 1t may be hard to
speak IN small room, and il also may lie
easy 10 speak In large one. The public
should look into this matter. We give be.
low a few paragraphs which we saw in
The Maine Farmer few weeks since on this
subject =
Halls, especially public hills, are used IN
This country as places in which speakers NAV
address large collections Of people. Ii 10
therefore necessary that they should be 80
constructed that the voice of The speaker
should pass easily and clearly Ihroug gh0ui-
easily 10 the speaker nnd clearly 10 the heaY-
ers. Every one who has spoken in different
places, knows from experience, that there 10
vast difference in rooms in regard TO this.
IN some, The speaker can stand at one end
and send his voice all over the space, howev-
er censey IL may he crowded, without any
extra effort. He then can speak with ease,
and is liable 10 be fatigued but very little
On the other hand, The same speaker, placed
in hall OF n room of different construction,
finds Ihar it almost impossible 10 he heard,
however strong lie may give uiterahce TO his
voice. His voice seems TO be either lost, or
there IS an echo or reverberatioD which de.-
troys its distnciness.
Very little thought or study into tire prin.
cples of sound by people who construct sueb
rooms, or who are having them constructed,
is sufficient 10 ohviate these difficulties.
These halls are generally built according to
the space The proprietor may happen to have
and not by any rule in accordance with the
laws of sound, or acoustics, us it is tecl,ni.r
cally called. as t rfI ra6ie rsHac1a
We believe the results Of experiments
have led TO this conclusion, viz. THAI the
proportions for room or hall 10 which
sound will he propelled easiest and most dis
tiDctly are these s Ttcice and a half as ,ride
as 1t as high, and once and half as long as H.
as wide. For instance, hall sixty feet long
should be forty feet wide and sixteen feet
high OF if you can have it but len feet high,
it Should he twenty-five feet wide and thirty
seven and half feet long We do not
vouclI for The correctness Of this, bur we have
known some halls built in accordance will

easy TO speak in. One, of the first propor-
lions, would transmit a whisper from YOU

fierre Boiteux and the remaining Indian fled
to The woods with a view more safely 10 ascer
tain the number of their assailants. Paul

from the bonds which confined her. The next
instant, he was struck by ball from Pierre 5
rifle and fell to the earth. He sprung quickly
up, however, for the shot had only pierced his
arm; and he was amply avenged; for at the
very flash of Pierre Botenx's rife, ball from
Harburn's piece passed through the brain of
the renegade.
Ihe surviving Indian was now seen making
his escape as fast as possible from the scene of
action, shellering his body as much as poss-
BILE from observation. Harbnrn started in
chase, for Paul was disabled for pursuit. The
indlan, after while, perceiving that he was
followed only by one man, darled behind an
oak IN order 10 level his rifle wlho vi risk of
his own safety against the person of his an.
tagonIst. Harburn had Instantly followed
his example. His rife had been reloaded as
he ran. Taking his ramrod, and placing his
cap and piece Of cloth thereon, he advanced

separated from each other by narrow (hot paths,
crossing at right angles. In each crossing OF
these paths an abatross builds his nest. and in
the middle of each quadrangle, penguin so
that every abatross is surrOundeded BY four
Pengulns, and every penguin has an abatross
on four sides as neighbors. In this way the
whole place is regularly occupied, and only at
some distance are places left free for other sea
FOWL, such as the green cormorant and so-called
Nellyr. Hi9aia 75T77
Though The penguin and albarross live so
near aud IN sucli intimacy, they not only
build their nests in very different fashions.
bnt the penguin plumbers tie nest of it's
irIend whenever It has an opportunity. The
nest OF the penguin is a simple hollow in tbe
ground, just deep enough 10 keep lis eggs
from rolling out while the albatross raises
little hill OF earth grass, aud muscles, eig hi
or ten inches high, with the diameter Of
wafer pail aud builds its nests on the ion.
whence it looks down on its next neighbors
and friends.
| None OF these nests in the entire broodinp
place are left vacant for an instant until rhe
eggs are haIched, and The young are old
enough 10 lake care of themselves. The
male bird goes 10 the sea for fish. and when
he has satisfied his hunger hurrres back to
the place OF the female, while she in turn
goes in pursuit Of food. Ever when they
are changing places, they know how to man
age so as not to leave their eggs for mo-
ment uncovered. When, for instance, The
male comes back from fishing, he nestes
close beside the female, and gradually crowds
her off the nest with such care as 10 cover
the eggs completely with his feathers with
out exposing them to The air at all. In this
way they guard their eggs against being s,o-
len by other females, which ARE so greedy 10
raise large families that they seize every
chance to rob the surrounding nests. The
royal penguin is exceedingly cunning in this
sort Of trick, and never loses an occasion that
is offered. In Ibis way il often happens that
the brood of this bird on growing up turns
out 10 be of Two or three different species, a
sure proof that their parents were no homes
Ter than their neighbors.
II is not only interesting but instructive.
and even touching, TO watch from little
distance the life and movements of these
broodng places. You can see the birds
walk up and down The exterior path or pub
lie promenade in pairs, or even four, SIX or
eight together, looking very like officers
promenading OH parade day. Then all at
once, The whole broodng place is III cohIinu-
al commolon, fiock oil these penguins come
back from the sea and waddle along through
the narrow paths, 10 greet their mates after
this brlei separation; another company are
on their way to get food Tor themselves or to
bring in provisions. At the same time the
cove is darkened by an immense cloud Of al
batrosses that continually hover above The
broodlng place, descending from their ex-
cursions, or mounting the air TO 90 upon
them. One can look for hours and not
grow weary of gnzlng, observing and won

The National Monument.

The Washington National Monument So
ciely have issued an appeal 10 the American
people, in which it is stated that unless con-
tributons come iE faster than they have for
the last six months, it will be impossible to
continue the work any further. The siruc-
lure has now reached los feet, about one
fifth OF its destined elevation. Each course
OF two feet costs upwards Of $4,000, and
from Two TO three courses can be completed
in a montb-requiring a monthly ontay oI
@4ooo 70 oooo. yrns sr e9dr teE Eu ,bs
The blocks of stone which have been sem
from the different States, associations, &C.
10 be placed in the monument, have done
but liue 10 add to its elevation, though they
may contribute to its interest.
The appeal Of the Society concludes as fol-
lows: - .... rl3 .ta.' ~
To show with what ease this great oh :
ject could be effected, it is only necessary TO
state, iha; three cents from each white i'll
habIanl of the United States would he suf-
licient TO complete the monument 10 few
years; and ye, such appears TO be the aPa-
thy and indifference existing in relation ia
ibis noble undertaking, that even that small
sum cannot be obtained for so patriotic AMI
glorious purpose.
