nR Serpents are said to obey the voice
of their masters; the trumpeter bird of A
merica follows its owner like spaniel, and
the jacana acts as a guard to poultry, pre-
serving them in the fields all the day from
birds Of prey, and escorting them home reg
ularlv at night. In the Shetland Isles there
is a gull which defends the flock from ca
giles; it is therefore regarded as a privileged
bird The chamOis, bounding among the
snowy mountains of the Caucasus, are IN
debted for their safety, in no small degree,
to particular species of pheasant. This
bird acts as their sentinel; for as soon as 1t
gets sight of man it whistles, upon hear
ing which the chamOiS, knowing the hunter
to be not far distant, sets off with the great
est speed, and seeks the highest peaks Of
the mountains. The artifees which part
ridges and plovers employ to delude their
enemies from the nest of their young, may
be referred to as case in point, as well as
the adroit cOntrivance Of the hind for the
preservation of her young; for when she
hears the sound of dogs, she puts herself in
the way Of the hunters, and starts in di-
| rection to draw them away from her fawns
Instances Of the effect of grief upon animals
are also no less remarkable. The writer
already cited says: Il knew dog that died
for the loss of its master, and bulfnch
that abStained from singing ten entire
months on account of the absence of its
mistress. On her return it Immediately re-
sumed its song" Lord Kaimes relates an
instance of canary, which, while singing
to its mate Matching her eggs in a cage, fell
dead; the female quilted her nest, and find
ing him dead, rejected all food, and died by
his side Waverly Magazine.

s@3g@The "Hard Shell Rantists'' ar

Asg~The lizard Shell Baptists" are a
well-known sect in the South and South
west They are not related, that we know
of, to the Hard Shell Democrats in this
State, though their cdriSten name is thesame.
They go dead against all bible, temperance,
and education societies; hate missions to the
heather, and all modern schemes for con-
verting the rest of mankind. Of course
they are opposed to learning, and speak as
they are suddenly moved A Georgia cor
respondent writes to the Drawer, and re-
lates the following Of one of our preachers:
Two Of them were in the same pulpit to-
gether. While one was preaching he hap
pened to say, when Abraham built the
ark
The one behind him strove hard to cor
rect his blunder by saying cut loud, 'Abra-
ham 1rarn't THAR
But the speaker pushed on, needless of
the interruption, and only took occasion
shortly to repeat, still more decidedly, 1
say, when Abraham built the ark
And / say cried the other, abraham

The Hard Shell was too hard to be beat
en- down in this way, and addressing the
people. exclaimed, with great Indignation,

Simple Division,

We heard story the other night on the
subject of division, which we thought good
at the time, and never having seen it in
print, we are tempted to give our readers
the benefit of it.
a Southern planter named p, pret-
ty well to do in the world now, was some
twenty years ago a poor boy on the eastern
shore of Maryland. One of the strongest
and most marked traits of his character,
was a most inordinate love of money This,
however, is characteristic of the people of
them diggings, where they practice skin
ming strangers during brisk seasons, and
skinning one another during dull times. In
the course of time P was of age, and
thought it time to get married. He went
to a neighbOring town, and in the course OF
events was introduced to a daughter OF
Judge B.
Dang fine gall said the embryo specula-
tor to the friend who was giving him an en-.
trance among the elite.
Very
How much might B. be worth?'
Why, about $l0,000,' was the prompt
reply.
And how many children has he got?
continued the inquirer.
Only three

third over mentally cyphered P.
Here was chance-a glorious chance
and he improved it too. He made love tC
the beautiful and unsOphisticated daughter
Of the Judge, with variations. Strange tc
say-for he was as uncouth a cub as ever
went unlcked-his suit prospered, and they
were married.
The honeymoon passed off as all othel
honeymoons do, and they were happy. The
bride was lively and chatty. and often made
illusions to her brothers and sisters Start

KrxxEy's GOLD MINEs.-A gentleman {

KtySEY's GOLD M1NEs.-A gentleman of
this citv who was formerly a resident Of
Grevtown, and travelled a good deal in Cen
tral America and Nicaragua, writes us that
the story of a mining enterprise on Indian
river, published in the Genital American, is
all humbug. lie says that the most noted
productions of Indian river are intermittent
fever and alligators- that in cact, it is not
a river at all, but lagoon, formed from the
waters of the San Juan. He knows all of
Kinney's territory, and says it is an inch
under water for nine months in the year.
and an inch over during the remaining three
months. He thinks that the only thing
that would pay in that country would be
raising alligatorS, as their oil is a specific
for rheumatism. Evening Bulletin.

The Poor BOYS CoLLEGE.-The print
ing Office has indeed proved a better college
to many poor boy-has graduated more
useful and conspicuous members of society
has brought more intellect and turned it
into practical, useful channels awakened
more generated more active and ele-
waited thought, than many of the literary
colleges of the country. How many Ounce
has passed through these colleges with no
tangible proof Of fitness, other than his in
animate piece of parchment; himself, ifpos-
slble, more inanimate than his leather di-
ploma There is something in the very
atmosphere of printing Office calculated to
awaken the mind and inspire thirst for
knowledge. A boy who commences in
such school, will have his talents and ideas
brought out-or he will be driven out him

' OTING UNDERSTANDINGLY.-S years
ago, when the Legislature of one of the
Middle States were framing Constitution,
the discussion of its various provisions was
very warm and obstinate Many days had
been spent in debate, and the vote was
at length about to be taken. Just at this
moment a country member, who had been
absent for some days previously, entered
the House and took his seat. Another
member who was in favor of the amended
Constitution, went to him and endeavoGed
to make a convert of him.
"You must vote for the Constitution, by
all means, said he.
"Ill think of it, said the honorable coun-
try member.
But you must make up your mind at
once, my man, for the vote is about to be
taken"
The country member scratched his head
and seemed puzzled.
Come, why do you hesitate? VIII you
promise me to vote for the Constitution? |
am sure it will give general satisfaction to
all"
F'I'll vote for it on one condition." said
the country member.
"What is that?"
"And no other, by gracious"
"But what condition is it,"
"Why, that they let it run through my
farm"

the deacons shook their heads in q very sol
emn and impressive manner.
So the party rode back to the clergy
mans house, but none of the brethren would
enter, nor would they stop at all. Before
Monday had drawn to close, it was gen
orally known that Parson RidewelI raced
his horse on the Sabbath, and meeting of
the church was appointed for THURSDAY.
Poor Ridewell was almost crazy with
vexation. But before Thursday came. Pom
pey found out how matters stood, and he
assured his master that he could clear the
matter up, and after days search he dis
covered the astounding fact that some of
those wicked men had been in the habit of
stealing old Morgan from the pasture and
racing him on Sabbath afternoon. Pom
pev found out this much-but could not
find out rhO did ii!
AS soon as this became known to the
church, the members conferred together,
and they soon concluded that under such
circumstances high mettled horse would
be apt to run away with his rider when he
found himself directly upon the track.
So parson Ridewell was cleared, but it
was long while before he got over the
blow, for many were the wicked wags who
delighted to hector him by offering to ride
a race" with him, to "bet on his head" to
"put him against the world" on race
But as Ridewell grew older, his heart grew
warmer, and finally he could laugh with
right good will when he spoke of his unex-
pected race.

PROOF THAT THE NOOK Is NOT TH1rAp1T

PROOF THAT THE Moon IS NOT INHABITED.
DR.. Scoresby, in an account that he has
given of some recent observations made
with the Earl of Ross telescope, says:-
with respect to the moon, every object on
its surface of 100 feet was now distinctly to
be seen; and he had no doubt, that under
very favorable circumstances, itwould be so
with objects GO feet in height. On its sur
face were craterS of extinct VOLCANOES, rocks
and masses Of stones almost innumerable.
He had no doubt that if such a building as
he was then in were upon the surface of the
moon, it would be rendered distinctly visi-
ble by these instruments. But there were
no signs Of habitations such as ours-no
vestiges of architecture remain to show that
the moon is or ever was inhabited by race
OF mortals similar to ourselves, 1t present
ed no appearance which could lead to the
suppoSltion that it contained anything like
the green fields and lovely yerdure of this
beautiful world Of ours. There was no Wa
ter vlSlble-not a sea or river, or even the
measure Of reservoir for supplying town
or factory-all seemed desolate.'

the death of Mrs, Franklin- -"On Monday.

age, Mrs. Deborah Franklin, wife of DR..

He took the paper, and 1 watched,
And saw him peep Within;
At the first line he read, his face
Was all upon the grin.
He read the next; the grin grew broad,
And shot from ear to ear;
He read the third; chuckling noise
Inow began to hear.
The fourth; he broke into roar;
The fifth; his waistband split;

And tumbled in a fit.

BSs@ Nothing is more common than to
hear the foreigners in this country boasting
of the vastly better and cheaper things they
used to have in that blessed land they came
from; but the truth comes out very neatly
in this conversation we overheard in mar
ket the other day:
An Irishman asks Long Island woman
the price Of a pair of fowls, and is told,
"a dollar"
"And a dollar is it, my darlint; why in
my country you might buy them for six
pence apiece"
And why didn't you stay in that blessed
cheap country"
"Och, faith, and there was no sirpence
there, to be sure p
