The Ship's Monkey.

We we're running from Rio to Bahia,
with fair wind. Some of the boats crew
had eoulriyed. while at Rio, to get a large
Brazilian monkey on board He was black
as INK, aud had an immense switching tail.
The monkey soon became a general la-
vorife, making friends with every body on
board, and visiting every hole aud corner
IN the ship, lroom tue keelson to the royal
truck.
We had man on board whose duty it
was TO trim and hll the lamps, to whom our
monkey was particularly attached One
day the man was IN the oil room, on the
orlop deck, attending to his light duty.
The monkey had missed him, and al last
traced him 10 the oil ROOM Perchng him
self on bench alongside his friend, he sat
wnkng aud blinking, watching in perfect
silence every movement the man made con-
necied with his duty.
In order that light might be quickly
obtained, the man touched all the wicks
with spirits turpenline, from sponge tied
10 long stick this suck he ,hrust into
the mouth OF high can of spirits TO wet
the sponge previous TO touching the wicks.
and then lighted each wick, to be sure they
were Properly prepared, being sure, he
would put them all ont, but one dim light
in stationary lantern, leave the room aud
90 on deck.
He had observed that his friend, the
monkey, became deeply interested during
the process of wettng aud trying the wicks
-htcbing nearer 10 the can of spirits, aud
once peeping into it, la his hurry to get
on deck, the man had forgotten Jacko, and
he was left sitting on the bench.
Not long amer Jacko rushed through the
ship at 2.4O Gait, up every main ladder,
through every main hatch, aud to the main
shrouds, and Hp the entire main rigging to
the roya-masi-head, screaming and chat
tering all the time, 'chi!e the tip end of his
tail mrs brightly Giazing,
After the man had lett the oil room, the
monkey had trIed his hand, or rather tail,
at getting a sudden light; seeing the man
put long stick n.o the can, he had put in
his long tail, until he had reached the tur-
pentIne and got it wet through; drawing it
out, he had applied it to the dim blaze in
the lantern, aud then attempted to light the
others, when he became frightened, and
perhaps pained, aud rushed for the deck as
described
1t may be asked. how did you know he
did this when he was alone! Suspeciing
mischief, the lamp man rushed below, aud
found one of his trimmed lamps burningl
We coaXed Jacko down, aud the surgeon
cured his tail; but ne was ever after shy OF
the oil room, lamps and turpentine To
bother him, tho men would sometimes clap
a rag soaked in turpenlne suddenly under
his nose, he would make one stride from
them, sci himself down, take up his tail and
look at 1t, and " make up mouths" at his
tormenior. Union.

is lamentable fact, that many who have
been through course of study, have re-
turned to their homes and neglected it, un.
I'll they are in no better condition than they
were before they went TO school. Some.
thing should be done TO remedy this evil
aud it is proposed to consider the matter at
the next Convention, and also to transact
any other business which may be deemed
necessary.
Messts Brown, David and others, from
New Hampshire and other States, are ex-
pected to be present and address the Con-
vention upon the sublec. Of the proposed
Monument, and also upon the System OF
Education for Mutes.
Arrangements will be made with the
presidents Of the several railroad compa-
MES to grant the Mutes a pass to the Con-
ven,ioD Each one Of the Committee will
act as conductor on the several railroad
lines in this State, and will meet the Mutes
at the several depots and conduct them into
the cars. The Deaf-and-Dumb ladies will
be placed under the care of some one OF
the elder Deafand-Dumb ladies, and they
need no, fear any dangers.
Per order Of the Committee.

TO Deaf-and-Dumb Persons.

The officers of the Gallaudet-M onument
Association, at Hartford, Conn, would re-
specially inform the Deaf Mutes III the
State of Vermont, that they have received
large contributions from the Mutes in sew
eral States in the Union; but that these
contributions have been insufficient to de-
fray the expenses of the Monumen; to the
memory Of our lamenied benetactor, Rev.
Thomas H. Galaudet; aud being DESTROYS
that tins work should be prosecuted imme-
diately, it Is hoped that those who have not
already cast their mite into the treasury,
will avail themselves of the first opporlunI-
" to do so.
A very pleasant and profitable Conyen-
ton was held, las, year, at Montpelier, VI, ,
aud there we're present about thirty Muies,
and resolutions were passed to raise means
to aid in the erection of a Monument to
the memory of our lamenled beneiactor.
The Committee exceedingly regretted that
a larger number of Mutes were not present.
aud will endeayor, hereafter, to see that all
are supplied with cards for the Conventinn.
A new Committee of elght were chosen
last November, to periee, the arrangements
IA season for the next Convention, that all
might be prepared IA season and ii Is hop
ed that there may be larger attendance at
the Convention than there was last year, as
they will have the pleasure of meeting their
old school mates aud friends. Should any
one be unable to meet with the Conven-
ton, the Committee would be pleased 10
receive by letters, directed 10 the care Of
Daniel W. Phelps, IF MiddLcbury, w.,
or George H. Lucas, of Bradford, w.,
any money which they might be disposed TO
give To aid in the erection of the proposed
Monument. ONE or THE COMMITTEE.

new, and add new boards on the outside as
the walls go up. When dry, take off the
boards, inside aud out. The door aud win
dow frames should be sci in their proper
places in the wall before the compound is

through the fire and blood of seven years
revolutionary war, shrank from no toll,

A Pleasant Surprise.

Ii has been asserted that If the earth
turned, body thrown up into the air ought
to fall backwards; that n stone let fall from
the top of tower ought not TO fall at the
foot of the building, because the earth had
moved during the lime ofihe fall. This is
an error; experiments have shown that
projected body par,akes the motion of the
protector. Thus person on board ship
throws body up into the air and catches
it again with facility, and therefore he
thinks he throws it up vertically; whereas,
seen from the shore. the body appears
thrown obliquely upward and forward
Every one knows that a stone dropped
from the mast of vessel in full sail, falls
at the foot of the mast, Just as 1t would do

another placed exactly underneath, though
the vessel sails several fee, in the time each
drop takes to fall.--ARAGo.

it becomes NY painful duly TO announce to
this lluuse the death If a representative

against death. The learned and the wise

ia former years been called upon TO mourn
the loss of Mallory, a Hunt, aud Demlng
all of whom died in quick succession
while occupying seat, ia This House. But
the grim messenger" has never entered

ored members Senator UFHAM WIS his first
