A Plea FOR MoNklEs.-It has ever

A PLEA FOR MoNk1Es. 1t has ever
been customary with the animal man,
to look down contemptuously on what
he is pleased to denomina'e the ''infe-
rior order of animals Enrious,
and unjust comparisons are consequent
" made, which have no tendency
and do not in reality elevate the ami
NAL man, one jot above his common
level. The Ass is noble animal by
his side; one that may be relied on,
for valuable service he has a charac-
ter in the animal kingdom to sustain,
and most nobly does he stand up to it.
Man may put burdens on his back,
and he will if he can pull them, but if
he cannot, lie pricks back his ears,
which is sufficient indication of his de-
termination.
The monkcy-to whom man is also
often compared, is the nobler animal
Of the two; his intellect is governed
by unerring laws; if lie ever deviates
from them and is led astray, it is at
mans instance who captures him for
exhibitional purposes; not to study
comparative anatomy, but to cut an
ties in the arena, for base lucrc a
service for which his caudlc append
age is d virtue. Man is enyious of
him, and with all the cxpertness of
Mr. Raphiel Gavrel, and others,
none have been able to excel him in
tue "apple juggle' ''the slack wire

or riding the "Trick Ponies At
tempts have been made, by many eel
ebrated acrobates, to excel him in the
gymnastic exercises of Ground and
lofty tumblng, but it has all been to
no purpose-countefeits base counter
fcits, worse than any that have ever
been perpetratcd upon ayers Cherry
Pectoral, or jew Dayid's Plaster.
We see no reason why man should
make invidious comparisons of himself,
to so noble an animal as the "Mon-
key Because there is less dcpan-
dence to be placed in him, there is less
truth, virtue or morality if the mca-
sure is an exalted standard. One is
strictly temperate, and just in dealing
with his brcthcren the other is base
and treachcrous, and miserable to see
others happy.
In any point of view the monkey is
the superior animal of the two. Physi-
logically considered lie is better adap-
ted to the end for which he has been
created. He can help himself with.

What IL the Time Good For :

Such weather as this, is certainly
unfit for the discussion of weighty
matters, and therefore we shall let the
dog days pass without any effort to
regale our readers with learned and
(of course) lengthy disquisitions, on
the Foreign wars, or domestic policy
Of the Pierce Administration. We
shall offer no more speculation for the
present, in reference to the probable
result Of the conquest of Cuba, the
Revolution in Mexico-or the beastly
bull-dogism Of Northern fanatics. All
this kind Of matter is heavy-involves,
or rather evolves deal of Carbon
ic acid gas, and requires a deal Of cool
ness we look for in vain, when the
thermometer stands up at % . i'll the
shade. Besides this, we have a friend
|
ly regard for our readers, and will not
intlict upon them such weighty arti-
cles, as invite the god Somnus to share
it with them.
We do not read such ourselves, and
certainly would not offer what we
have no stomach for. The most in
teresting subject at this season, should
be despatched root and branch" in
half column, at this season. and no
man or woman should endeavour to
grasp more than so much, a 1uantunn
suN1cct Of any kind of reading at this
season. This should evidently be, if
| it is not, a season Of relaxation, for
the nerves of the mind as well as the
body. People should be gay-go
into the fresh country and there
dance, sing, and make merry-it is no
season for unseasoned readiug--for
leaders, on the probable result of the
bolnbardment of Tango or Kalafat
by the Turks. How in the name OF
the "Three Wise men of Gotham, -
can that event possibly effect, a pic
mic party to the A1nite?
1t is we'll enough in freezing winters
weather, to look at these things over
a seal coal fire, but they can have no
possible effect now.
At times, we think our paper is al
together too large; that perhaps we do
get into our reading columns, stuff
from other papers of course) that is
barely glanced at by our readers then
we think that we will razie-cut
down, and curtail our dimensions for
