A FAsLE.-The Baltimore American
commends those who feel disposed to
lay violent hands on the "jewel of the
Antilles" the following fable;
"The monkeys belonging to certain
keeper Of wild animals were usually
confined in line Of narrow cages, each
Of which had pan in the centre of its
front. which at regular hours was well
filled with food for the tenant; never
theless, it was observed that when all
the monkeys were supplied with their
messes, scarcely any one OF them ate
out of his own pan; each thrust his
paws through the bars and robbed his
right or left hand neighbor. Half that
was seized was split and lost in the
conveyance; and while one monkey
was so unpro6tably engaged in plumbers
ing, his own pan was exposed to similar
depredations."

as it is favorable season forwork of this kind !;
and The subscriber takes this method Of inform-
ing his friends and the public generally. that he
is prepared to do all kinds Of work in his line
faithfully and well, and at moderate prices.
Besides the usual style of painting with Lead,
he has mide himself thoroughly acquainted with
the manner Of using Biake's Fire Proof
Paint, and the Zinc Paint. The former
is intended for outside painting, and is both fash
ionahle and cheaE the latter is intended fol inside
painting. and Is recommended by the fact that it
makes paint whittier and cheaper Than lead.
All kinds Of Granting, in imitation of Oaks,

RESIGNATION OF RlsHoP IVES.
The following letter from Rishot
Ives. who has lately joined the cathslis

af the Protestant Episcopal Church, in
the Diocese of North Carolina:
Rsxr. "Wednesday. Dec. %, Isse.
Dear Brethren: Some of YOU, al
least. are aware that iar wears doubts
,,pf the validity Of nv office as bishop
have at times harrassed my mind and
greatly enfeebled nv action. AT other
times. il is true. circumstances have
arisen to override these doubts, and to
bring 10 nv mind temporary relief.
But it.has been only temporary. for. in
spite If resolutions 10 abandon the
reading and the use Of Catholic books,
IN spite &C earnest prayers and entrea.
ties that God would protect my mind
against the distressing influence uf
csthnlis Truth; and in spite Of public
and private professions and declara.
tions which in times of suspended
dDubt sincerely made to shield N.Y.
self from suspicion and win back the
confidence Of my diocese. which had
been well nigh lost-in spite Of all this.
and ofmany other considerations which
would rise up before me. as the neces
sary consequence Of suffering nv mind
TO be carried forward in the direction
in which my doubts pointed. these
doubts would again return with increas.
ed and almost overwhelming vigor,
gnading me at times TO the very bor-
ders Of arrangement.
Under these doubts. l desired ten.
porary relief from duties that had be.
come so disquieting to me. and deter
mined to accompany Mrs. Ives. whose
health demanded a change of climate,
in short absence abroad. But abb
scnce has brought no relief to my mind.
Indeed, the doubts that disturbed it
have grown into clear and settled con-
yictions; so clear and settled that with
out violation Of conscience and honor.
and every obligation Of duty to God aud
His Church. | can no longer remain in
my position.
| am called upon, therefore, to do an
act of self sacrifice, in view of which
all other sell sacrificing acts Of my life
are less than nothing; called upon to
sever the ties which have been strength
cned BY long years Of love and furbear-
ance, which have bound my heart to
many Of you, as was David's to that of
Jonathan, and make my heart bleed as
my hand traces the sentence which
separates all pastoral relation between
Us, and conveys to you the knowledge
that | hereby resign into your hands
my Office as Bishop of North Carolina |;
and further, that | am determined to
make my submission to the Catholic
Church.
In addition (my feelings will allow
me only TO say as this act is earlier
than any perception Of my own, and
antedates, BY some months, the expi-
ration of the time for which ! asked
leave of absence, and for which SO
promptly received frouiQnembers of
your body an advance Of salary. here
by renounce all claim upon the same,

in,ima'i,n of your wish, to return what
