" Good Morning. I"

Everybody says good morning in New
York, till-atter dinner. The higher the cir
Gle man moves in, the later he dimes, and
the longer he says good morning.
This salutation is sort Of sliding scale Of
peoples precise position; the lower il runs,
the higher it stands. The man who says
'good evening to you at exactly one minute
past twelve, City Hall time, is down TO o.
zero. Depend upon it, he works for living
he toots it down town, mornings, and carries
his dinner in a small tin pail with young
tin pail inverted upon the top Of it. The sun
reports himself not more regularly at the me-
ridian, than that mans appetite.
There's another that bids you good morn
ng,' and all the bells, little and big, have
tolled, struck, and rung two o'clock. He's
well to do, and very well fed-and dimes at
half fpast-steps gently into the omnibus--fare
six cents-and is set down somewhere, to
walk gently few steps, and in a chair with
arms and cushions, meditatingly minister TO
the 'inner man.
There comes one at six full past, who says
good morning still. He's up to 212 de-
grees, on the scale-the very boiling point of
--respectability.
And there on the curb-stOne side Of the
walk, steals poor fellow; who for the matter
Of dining, is not on the scale at all. He nev<
er dimes; he could say good morning all
day long, were there any such thing in his
Almanac, or any inquiry for beggars' wish
es. The thermometer doesn't 60 up into his
circle the tube isn't long enough; water
vaporizes before it gets there, as at seven P.
NJ, he stands at one of the Park Gates, hat
in hand for copper, and murmurs, as you
scowl at him, an humble, deprecatory good
morning.

A Remarkable Story.

DIR. Fox, who kept lunatic asylum near
Bristol, relates the following story of man
who made an iron meal lin my visits among
my patients, one morning., says the doctor,
Il went into a room where two, who were ac-
quaintances Of each other, were accustomed
to live. Immediately as entered, | noticed
an unusual degree of detection about one of
them, and feversh kind of excitement in the
other. | inquired what was the matterl'-
'Matter' said the excited one matter
enough he has done for himselfr why,
what has he done = 'Oh, he has only swal-
lowed the poker!' During this short CONVEX
sation, the other looked increasingly mourn
ful; and on my inquiring what was the mat
ter with him, replied-'He has told you true

not know what shall do with it y 4 will tell
you how it happened said the first. MY
frierd and l were sitting by the fire talking
on different things, when | offered to lay him
wager that he ecould not eat any of the poker
he said he could and would; took it up, twist
ed the end Of it backward and forward between
the bars of the CRATE, and at last broke off
some inches Of it, and instantly swallowed it,
and he has looked melancholy ever since

countenance, or the narrator guessed as much
for he added-'Oh, you can see that it is true,
for there is the rest Of the poker | went to
the CRATE and examined the poker, which, be-
ing an old one, had been much burned and
where the action Of the fire had been fercest,
and had worn away the iron, piece Of be-
tween two and three inches had been wrenched
off, and was missing. Still could hardly
credit that the human stomach could receive

A week later. Let US go back from the
city of Boston, about FIVE miles into the coun-

must needs enter. Ha! what forms are those
that are gathered around that chee rful, blazing

his son William, and wife. The father is
now relating his tale of suffering since his son
had left him.

been squandered by those into whose care it

some minutes. Then the son, William Will

That they know our ages so much better
than we do ourselves. (H is SO Uery Hkely)
That music can be learnt without practising,
and that it is necessary for them TO rush out,
and TO slam the door violently, the very moment
we begin TO open our voices, or to run over the
last new Polka.
That sleeping after dinner promotes corver-

That they know what dress and bonnet be-

That it is necessary TO make poor woman

AbYssinian Monkeys.

The monkeys, especially the cynocephali,
who are astonishingly clever fellows, have
their chiefs, whom they obey implicitly, and
regular system of tactics in war, PilagIng ex
peditions, robbing corn fields, &c. These
mOnkey-forays are managed with the utmost
regularity and precaution. A tribe coming
down 10 feed from their village on the mountain
Casually cliff in the face Of some clift,) brings
with it all its members, male and female, old
and young. Some, the elders Of the tribe, dis
tinguishable by the Quantity Of name which
covers their shoulders, like lions, take the
lead, peering cautiously over each precipice be-
fore they descend, and climbing to the top Of
every rock or stone which may afford them a
better view of the road before them. Others
have their posts as scouts on the fanks or rear,
and all fulfil their duties with the utmost vigi-
lance, calling out at times, apparently to keep
order among the motley pack which forms the
main body, or to give notice Of the approach Of
any real or imagined danger. Their tones Of
voice on these occasions are so varied, that a
person much accustomed to watch their move
ments will at length fancy, and perhaps with
some truth, that he can understand their sig
nails.
The main body is composed Of females and
inexperienced males and young people of the
tribe. Those Of the females who have small
children carry them on their back. Unlike The
dignifed march Of the leaders, the rabble 90
along in most disorderly manner trotting on
and chatiering, without taking the least heed of
anything, apparently con6ding in the vigilance
of their scouts. Here few of the youth linger
behind to pick the berries off some tree, but
not long, for the rear guard coming up forces
them to regain their places. There matron
panses to suckle her offspring, and, not to lose
any time, dresses lis hair while it is taking It's
meal. Another young lady, probably excited
to jealousy, or by some sneering look or word,
pulls an ugly mouth at her neigbor, and then
uttering shrill squeal, highly expressive Of
rage, vindlclively snalches at her rivals leg or
tail with her hand, and gives her, perhaps,
bite in the hind quarters. This prosokes
retort, and a most unladylike quarrel ensues,
till loud bark of command from one of the
chiefs calls them to order. A single cry of
alarm makes them all halt and remain on the
qui Uive, till another bark in different tone
treasures them, and they then proceed on their
march. Arrived at the corn-6elds, the scouts
take their Dositions on the eminenceS all around
while the reminder Of the tribe collect prOvis-
ions with the utmost expedition, filling their
cheek-pouches as full as they can hold, and
then tncking the heads of corn under their
armpits. Now, unless there be partition Of
the collected spoil, how do the scouts feed g
for have watched them several times, and
never observed them to quit for moment their
post Of duty till it was time for the tribe to re-

Life s Ch ange es.
BY HARRY SPENCER.
SCENE FIRST.

In the year 1885, were seated within the
parlor of one of The most splendid and stately
mansions of which the city Of Boston could
boast, two persons, one Of whom was an elder
ard the other a young man, apparently about
FIVE and twenty years of age, whose well
formed figure was dressed in neat suit of
blue.
Paul Wilson, the elderly person, seemed TO
be in feverish state Of excitement, for he was
stirring up the glowing Goals Of fire in the
crate, in an unnecessary confusion. Occa-
sionalIy his hands would come in contact with
the heated bars, making him draw them back.
with an exclamation of pain but they were
in a moment returned to The same proximity.
After having for few moments vented his pas
sion npon the fire aud himself, he laid down
the poker, and turning to his son William,
said
In what lies the aversion to Julia Ed
monds. which you have. Is she not beauti-
full, accomplished and wealthyr
True, father, answered the young man !;
4 will admi, that she possesses all of these
qualities, but they alone can never gain my
love-

more can you wish for 2

No. answered William it is as cold as
marble, and incapable of harboring love such
as would have in return for mine own. Her
whole delight is in being surrounded by fawn-
ing suitors, who pay their homage to her as
they would to queen. She triaes with them,
