how APES CATCH CRABS.

a traveller in Java relates the following ANU
sing scene, which he witnessed In the compa-
ny of acme 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 few words to the mandoor. The
latter turned with laugh to Frank, and ask
ed him il he had ever seen apes catch crabs
Frank replied in the negative, and the man
door taking his hand, led him gently and
cautiously through the deserted village, to
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 settlemcnt-a dry, sandy strip of beach.
wher: all vegetation ceased, and only single
tall pandanus tree, whose roots were thickly
interlaced with creeping plants, formed as it
were the advanced post of the vegetable king
dom. Behind this they crawled along, and
cautiously raising their heads, they saw sever
al apes, at distance of two or three hundred
PAGES, who were partly looking for something
as they walked up and down the beach, while
others stood motionless.
1t was the long tailed, brown variety, and
Frank was beginning to regret that he had not
his telescope with him, to watch the motions
of these strange beings more closely, when
one Of them, a tremendous large fellow, be-
gan to draw nearer to them. Carefully exam
lining the ground, over which he went with all
fours, he stood at intervals to scratch himself,
or to snap at some insect that buzzed around
him. He came SO close that Frank fancied he
| must scent them, and give the alarm to the
other monkeys, when suddenly passing over a
| little elevation covered with withered reedy
grass, he discoveed party of crabs, parading
up and down on the hot sand. With bound
he was amongst them, but not quick enough to
| catch a single one; for the crabs, though ap'
parently so clumsy, darted like lightning into
a quantity of small holes or cavities, which
made the ground here resemble seive, and
the ape could not thrust his claws after them
| fer the orifice was too narrow.
The mandoor nudged Frank gently to draw
his attention, and they saw the ape, afte
crawling up and pceping into the various
holes, with his nose close to the ground, sud
denly seat himself very gravely by one o
them, which he fancied most suitable. IL
then brought round his long tail to the front
thrust the end of it into the cavity, until b.
met with an obstacle, and suddenly made
fses which 20 amused Frank, that he wouI
have laughed loudly, had not the msadoo

Most fortunately these extravagances did not
turn the brain Of the youthful soldier. He
possessed too much real courage and good
sense to waste his fame on individual quarrels,
and his future efforts for ssthe bubble reputa-
tion' were at the cannons mouth on the field
OF battle; for this same little Hussar was no
other than the brave General Trobriant, whose
name became SO distinguished in all the cop-
quests of the succeeding campaigns of his
country, and who, after attaining many high
honors of rank and fortune, became so DISCUS
ted with long interval of peace and retire
ment, that, throwing up all his hard won lau-
rels, he departed for Sicily, to commence new
career of glory, starting as at first, with his
good sabre as a simple Hussar, which he knew
30 well how to handle.

ANCIENT RUINS.

About six miles north of Santa Cruz, Cali
iornIa, there is small romantic but secluded
| mountan-bound valley containing about 1i(
acres of level and fertile land, formed around
the Junction of two small creeks coming from
the northeast and north out of two deep can
| yons. In the forks of these creeks rises to the
eierStiea-of four or five hundred feet, rug
ged mountain of sand at its point, which is
nearly perpendicular, and perhaps 80 or 40
steps from its base, is an oblong, ancient, and
certainly interesting ruin covering an area of
IO0 feet west and east, and so feet north and
south. No walls are now to be seen, for if
such there be, they are covered with sand,
which to all appearance has gradually fallen
from the point Of this mountain, which has ev-
identity formed little more than half a pyra-
mid, perhaps 60 feet high, the base of which
covers over two acres Of land the sides of
which rise at an angle of over 40 degrees, and
are composed of loose sand, in walking over
which you sink two or three inches at every
step you take. An occasional shrub is seen
growing over it, and several large pitch-pine
trees are also growing on this half mound,
resting on its northside against the base of the
sand mountain before referred to. On that
part Of this half mound, facing to the west, is
seen all the evidences of building. There
were pillars Of solid masonry rising out of a
coarse, sand rock, that is exceedingly hard
The masonry is laid in cement the pillars are
circular, and of various sizes-from II to 81
feet in diameter-all but two or three of the
largest have circular 1ues, as if they might
have been intended to conduct smoke from the |
building below, and for this reason we call |
them chfmnfes. The other pillars were solid, |
and all of them were circular on the outside |
The masonry is not only of the most substan |
.ial character, but unique in the manner of fit |
ing and tapping the pieces together, that in
he writer's opinion is more substantial than |
hat of the present mode of laying down work |
If similar character. Starting in this valley |
rom the level of this plateau d br

10 arranged as to show the outline of an OBJ

hirty, and appear to be regularly dispersed
round the exterior, except the three large
mes, which seem to run through the building
It about Is feet south of the north line and
i've chimnies in q cluster, being about 2 feet
part two in one line and one in another, near
he centre of the east end Of the ruin.

MYSTERIES OF THE AIR.

Let man roll little air in his mouth, aud
what is thatf Let Napoleon twist it between
his lips, and all the world is at war give it TO
a Fenelon, and he shall manage it with his
tongue that there shall be everywhere peace.
1t is but little agitated air that sets mankind
in motion. If we could live without air, We
could not talk or hear any sounds without it.
There would be blazing sun and black sky
-sunshines mingled with thick darkness; and
there would be an awful silence. There is less
air in the upper than in the lower regions OF
the atmosphere the bottom crust of air is, Of
course, densest. Suassure fired pistol on
the summit of Mont Blanc and the report was
like tho swapping of a stick. There is a well
at Fulda three hundred palms deep; throw
stone down it, and the noise it makes in its
descent will be like the firing of park Of can
non. 1t goes down among the dense air, and
also il reverberates. When man speaks, he
strikes air with his throat and mouth as tho
stone strikes water, and from his tongue as
from the stone spread undulating circles with
immense rapidity. These circles may be
checked and beaten back in their course as it
is with the waves Of a sound made by the stcns
tumbliug down a well, beaten back and furi-
ously multiplied. At re castle of Simcnetti.

HISTORY OF DRUNKENNESS.

DR.. Turner, in an address which he deliver
ed at the Broadway Tabernacle on the 18th of
November, in behalf of the Q. S. lnebriats
Asylum, in speaking Of the influence which
inebriety has upon nations, uses the following
language:
| Iuebriety is the first disease Of which We
have any record. 1t dates its existence from
the birth of the grape, the formation of wine
from which was one of the first discorcries OF
man. We find nothing in the medical records
OF theEgyptians TO prove that it was recosniz-
ed as disease. Esculapius, Hippocrates and
Gslen are likewise silent on the subject. Yet
we have for the recorder of the pathology of
inebriety, the most renowned man of the m.
cient or modern times. Solomon describes
the malady in the most significant lanFuare.-
"At the last it biteth like serpent arG sting
eth like an adder" Thus we have sacred his
tory to establish the fact that inebriety was
the most frightful and destructive disease then
known; comparing it to the venomous bite OF
serpent and the deadly sting of the adder,
which have no specifc-no cure.
We are compelled to trace the influence of
this disease in all nations rather than individ-
uals, and from our opinions from the facts Of
history which record the rise and fall of races
and nations. When the seeds of this deadly
malady were sown by the great men of Baby
Ion, Egypt. Greece and Rome, in their Bac-
chanal feasts, then the greatness of these
mighty nations began to Decline and their
chosen people perished and passed away. Ba.
bylon, with all her glory and magnifccnce, fell
into the hands of the Persians, when her ru
lers were drunken with wine, and her people
were maddsned by the intoxicating bowl.
BY inebriety Egypt lost her ruler, the world
her conquerer, in the death of Alexander the
Great, in the thirty-third year of his age

IYEARN FOR THE SPRING.

Jearn for the Spring, when the birds sh all SIM
And each n 1orning awake fresh flowers
We nave waited long for the lark's blythe song,
And the lengthening evening hours.
A .hroud of snow had lain on the earth,
An icy hand on each stream,
Ihs sun In tho sky oped it's languid eye,
And sent but sickly CLEAN;
And the frosty breeze moaned among the trees
And the rattling hail and rain
Came sweeping past, with angry blast,
ana dashed 'gainst the window pane;
And never flower in the stormy hour,
Dared raise up its tiny head
For all gentle things fed on the Summers wing.
Or else in the snow lay dead.
yearn for the Spring when the birds shall sing
And each morn shall awake new flowers:
We have listened long for the wood -lark,s song.
And the thrush at the evening hours.
Tis beauteous time when the bud frs. bursts.
And child-like the young leaf stands
And catches the drops of the gentle shower
In its small and velvety hands,
when the tender grass feels the south wind pass
In Its chariot unseen,
And old mother Earth. at the new Snr;nc HIT,
Arrays her in robes of green
When the unbound stream, as if in a dream,
Murmurs on to its unknown home
And tells the tall reeds, onward it speeds
That tho fair Lady Spring hath come.
Oh, yearn for the Spring-for the balmy Spring
Who floats like fairy queen.
And toucheth the land with magic wand
Till all beauteous things seen.
long to be out at the early dawn
When the eastern light is new
Among the odors borne from the scented thorn
And the showers of silvery dew
oh, cannot tell how my soul doth swell
With an inward happiness
For simple TO is bliss to me,
For the which my God bless
" Ith an unknown source comes a namcless force
Which pervades my being through
A JOY. and love, and n strength from above,
And seem to be made anew.
OBJ, come then, Spring--let the woodlark's sing
Let the foweret opc its eye;
Like the lark d soar to the6eayen' s blue floor
Ike the flower, gaze up to the sky.

New VARIETY OF FowLs.-Since tho war
with Russia a new kind of domestic fowl has
been introduced into England from the Black
Sea, and is likely to prove formidable rival
to the Shanghai and and Cochin China. 1t is
quite as large as the Barndoor-fowl, is crested,
and has feathered legs, its color is generally
all white or black-when the latter, of raven
hue, and glossy. This bird II pugnacious'
and its movements are very lively. Its most
distinguished peculiarly is, however, in the
arrangement of the tail feathers. These are
very few, and do not project as in other BIRDS
but drop down and lie close to the body, Sc
that the creature appears tailless, and when
it's head is erect it scarcely has the appear
anoe of q bird.-Faym Journal.

GUANo.-At the last meeting of the New
York Farmers Club a resolution was adopted,
recommending all the Agricultural Societies
in the United States, to unite in petition to
our government to take possession Of all Guam
o Islands which have been, or may be, discov-
cred by Americans, for the benefit of the Uni
ted States and of the discoverers-the taking
of such possession to occur only on islands un-
inhabited, and entirely out Of the maritime
jurisdiction of other nations. The Farmers
Club took the initiative last June, in request
ing our government to extend its protection
to two guano islands discovered by American
shipmasters insthe Pacific, and the United
States frigate independence was despatched
to the islands for that purpose, several months
ago. 1t is estimated that, with the encour-
agement of our government, pure guano can
be furnished to American farmers at three
fourths or even one-half the cost Of the Peru
Wan article.

How TO KEEP SMoKED HAMs.-Hams can be
secured and sweetly preserved through sum-
mer, by packing them in cobs in the following
manner; first, layer of cobs in the bottom Of
the cask; then hams and cobs until you finish
the whole. Be particular that they do not
come in contact with each other. Unbroken
cobs would prefer, but broken ones selected
will answer. 1t would be necessary TO take
them out once in summer, and give them a
dry rubbing. Your cask should stand upon
bench, in dry. cool cellar. Having packed
in this way, the cobs absorb the heat and air,
sufficient to keep them fresh and fine. 1t has
been my practice for more than ten years, to
treat my hams in this way, and have never
lost one.-You take them out perfectly clean,
not plastered, not ashed, not creased; neither
is there any chaf to be swept of. Cask to be
covered.-Mchiga Farmer.
