A Piece Of Legal Advice.

The ancient town of Rennes, in France, is
place famous for law. To visit Rennes
without getting advice Of some sort. seemed
absurd TO the country people round about
1t happened one day that a farmer named
Bernard, having come to this town on bust
ness, bethought himself that he had few
hours to spare, it would be we'll to get the ad-
vice Of a good lawyer. He had often heard
of lawyer Foy, who was in such repute that
people believed lawsuit gained when he un-
dertooE the cause. The countryman went to
the Office, and after waiting some time, was
admitted to an interview He told the law
yer that having heard so much about him,
and happening to be in town, he thought he
would call aud consult him.
. You wish to bring an action, perhaps,
replied the lawyer.
30, no replied the farmer, Z am at
peace with ali the world"
g Then it is a settlement Of property that
you want, is it !'
& Excuse me, Mr. Lawyer, my family and
[ have never made dvisio seeing that we
draw from the same well, as the saying is "
g Ii is, then, to get me to negotiate pur-
chase or a sale that you have come"
Oh, no, am neither rich enough to pur-
chase ncr poor enough to sell"
g VIII you tell me, then, what you do
want of me 2 said the lawyer in tone of sur
prise.
Why, have already told you, Mr.. Law
yer," replied Bernard . want your advice.
[ mean to pay for it, of course
The lawyer smiled, aud taking pen and pa
per, asked the countryrnan his name
Peter Bernard" :" replied the countlyman,
quite happy that the lawyer at length nder-
stood yvhat he wanted

* What do you do for living?"
9 Oh that is what it means is it? Way.

The lawyer wrote two lines. folded The pa
per, and handed it to dis client
g Is it finished already ?" said the flrner
g Well and good What is 20 be the
price of that advice, Mr.. Lawyer ?'
Three francs"
Bernard paid the money and took his leave,
delighted that he had made use of his oppor-
tunity to get piece of advice from the great
wyer When the farmer reached home it
was four O'Clock; the journey had fatigued
him, aud he determined to rest the remainder
of the day Meanwhile the hay had been cut
two days. and was completely made One
of his men come and asked him if they should
draw in.
What, this evening p exclaimed the far
mer's wife who had come to her husband. -
& 1t would be pity to begin the work so
late, since it can be done as well tomorrow.
Bernard was uncertain which way to decide.

denly seating himself very grayeiy by one of
them which he fancied most suitable. lie
then brought round his long tail to the front,
thrust the end of it into the cavity, until he
met with an obstacle, and suddenly made
face which so amused Frank, that he would
have laughed loudly, had not the mandoor
raised his finger warningly-and directly the
ape drew out his extraordinary line with a
Jerk. At the end of it, h ,wever, hung the
desired booty, fat crab by one of its claws,
and swinging it round on the ground with
such violence as to make it loose its hold, he
took it in his left paw, picked up a stone with
the ether, and after cracking the shell, de-
voured the savory contents with evident sat
ifaction.
Four or five he thus caught in succession,
on each occasion when the crab nipped him,
making a face of heroic resignation and pain,
but each time he was successful, and he must
have found in the dainty dish, and the re-
venge for the nip, abundant satisfaction for
the pain he endured, or else be would not
have set to work again so soon.
Thus then the ape, quite engaged with the
sport, and without taking his eyes of the
ground, cad approached to within about twen
ty PAGES Of the party concealed behind the
pandanus tree. Here again, the ground was
full of holes, and looking out the one he con-
jectured to be the best, he threw in his line
once, and probably felt that there was some
thing alive within for he awaited the result
with signs OF the most eager attention
The affair. however, lasted longer than he
anticipated but being already well filed by
his past successful bauls he pulled up his
knees, laid his arms upon them, bowed up his
head, and half-closing bis eyes. he assumed
such resigned and yet exquisitely comical
face, as only an ape is capable of putting on
under these circumstances.
But his quiet was destined to be disturbed
in manner as unsuspecting as it was cruel.
He must have discerned some very interest
ing object IN the clouds, for he was staring up
there fxedly, when he uttered loud yell,
left hold of his knees felt with both hands for
his tail, and made bound in the air, as if
the ground under him was growing red hot
At the end of his tail, however, hung gigan-
tic crab. torn with desperate energy from lis
hiding place, and Frank, who could restrain
himself no longer, then burst into a loud
laugh.
The mandoor at first retained his gravity;
but when the ape, alarmed by the strange
sound, looked up and saw men, and then
bounded away at full speed with his tormeD-
tor still dangling at the end of his tail the
old man could DO longer refrain either, aud
they both laughed till the tears ran down
their cheeks.
The ape, in the meanwhile, few across the
narrow strip of sand, followed by all the others,
towards the jungle, and in moment after,
not single one was visible.

How Apes Catch Grabs.

\ traveller in Java relates the following
amuseing scene, which he witnessed in the
company of some OF the natives:
After walking close up to the old campaign
they were upon the point of turning back,
when young fellow emerged from the thick
ct, and said a few words to the nandoor.-
The latter turned with a laugh to Frank, and
asked him if he had ever seen the apes catch
crabs Frank replied in the negative, and
the mandoor taking his hand, led him gently
and cautiously through the deserted village,
to a spot which the young fellow had pointed
out and where the old man had formerly
planted hedges, rendering it an easy task for
them to approach unobserved.
At length they reached the boundary of
the former settlement-a dry, sandy soil, strip
of beach, where all vegetation ceased, and
only single tall pandanus tree, whose roots
were thickly interlaced with creeping plants,
formed as it were the advanced posts of the
vegetable kingdom Behind this they crawl
ed along, and cautiously raising their heads,
they saw several apes, and at distance Of
two or three hundred PAGES, who were pertly
looking for something as they walked up and
down the beach, while others stood motion
less.
1t was the long tailed, black variety, and
Frank was beginning to regret that he had
not his telescope with him, to watch the mo-
tions of these strange beings more closely,
when one of them, tremendous large fellow,
began to draw nearer to them. Carefully ex-
amining the ground, over which he went with
all fours, he stood at intervals to scratch him
self, or to snap at some insect that buzzed
around him.
He came so close that Frank fancied that
he must scent them, and give the alarm to
the other monkeys, when suddenly passing
over little elevation covered with withered
reedy grass, he here discovered party of
crabs, parading up and down on the hot sand.
With bound he was amongst them, but not
quick enough to catch single one; for the
crabs, though apparently so clumsy, darted
like lightning into quantity of small holes
or cavities, which made the ground here re-
semble seiye, and the ape could not thrust
his paws after them, for the orifce was too
narrow.
The mandoor nudged Frank gently to draw
his attention, and they saw the ape, after
crawling once or twice up and down the small
strip of land, and peeping into the various

EBENsBURG, FEBRUARY 13, 1866.

Suddenly he recollected that he had the law

the hay was brought IN. The event seemed
to prove the wisdom Of his conduct, and the

ed during the nigbt-an unexpected storm
burst over the valley, the next morning, it
was found that the river had oyerfowed and

The crops of the neighboring farmers were
completely destroyed-Bernard alone had not
suffered. The success of his first experiment
gave him such faith in the advice of the law
yer, that, from that time forth he adopted it
as his rule Of conduct, and became consequent

THE WEATHER.

We have cold" news from every point of
the compass. During the past week we have
not opened paper without meeting an edi-
torial on the weather, the cold weather, the
snow, ice, &c. As it is fashionable to fol-
low the fashion. We must state that we, too,
have had "a spell of weather." with several
inches of snow, since our last publication.
The snow is not, as it Is represented TO be
i'll some places north of us, from one to four
feet deep, but it is of very respectable depth,
considering the size of the town" 1t has
been quite sufficient, since Friday last, to
accommodate the numerous sleighcrs and 10
render difficult all other modes of travelling.
The ice problem, too, has been satisfactO-
rilv solved. All doubt on that subject is
settled. There is now ice enough, and
more than enough. for all useful purposes.
The ice houses having been filed, the ska
tiers are now the only persons who have any
use for it, and they appear to be making the
most of the fine season for the sport.
