Of this nation have, in former days, as

TOUCHING EXHIBITION OF GRATITUpE.-One
of the Philadelphia papers relates the following
of German girl named Mary Skellinshi. who
placed trial ON Monday, for the alleged
larceny of a hundred dollars. She was defended
by II. Martin, Esq. The defendant was ac-
quilted, and late in the afternoon of Monday,
when the jury had rendered verdict of mot
guilty in manner and form as indicated" while
the court house crowded with spectators,
torsetiul of every feeling but of joy at her re-
lease, and gratitude TO her defender. she aston
ished Mr.. Martin the court. the bar and the
lookers-on, by such affectionate embrace and
such kiss distinctly heard throughout the
court room. Mr.. NJ. was rather taken aback by
this novel fee, but e submitted with the best
grace possible The tears streamed down the
face of the poor girl as she left the court room,
grateful for the defence which had been made
in her behalf and regardless of the remarks elic-
ited by her novel mode of evincing her graft
tuide.

A TeefosaI Monkey.

DIR. Guthrie relates an amusing anecdote OF
reasonable monkey, which We must present;
"Jack, as he was called, seeing his master
and some other companions drinking. with those
initiative powers for which his species is remark
able finding half glass OF whiskey left, took 1t
up and drank it oE-It flew, of course, to his
head Amid their loud roar of laughter, be be-
gan 10 skip, hop, and dance. Jack was drunk
Next day. when they went. with The intention
of repeating The fun, TO take the poor monkey

inside, there he lay, cronchinS IN corner
"Come cut ~ said his master. Afraid 10 diso-
hey. he came walking three legs-the fore
paw that was laid Gu his iurehead saying. as
plain words could do, that he had headache
'Havng left him some days TO get well and
resume his gayety, they ut length carried HIM
off to the old scene OF revel. On entering he
eyed the glasses with manifest terror skulking
behind the chair; and on his master ordering
him TO drink, lie boliea, and was on the honse
top in twinkling. They called him down. he
would not come. His master shook the whip at
him. Jack, asiride the ridge pole, grinned
defiance, gun, of which he was always much
afraid, was pointed at this disciple of temper
ance; lie ducked his head, and slipped over the
back of the house; upon which, seeing his pre-
dirament and less afraid apparently of the fire
than the tire-water, the monkey leaped at a bound
on the chimney top, and getting down into
tlue, held on by his fore-paws. He would raih-
er be snged than drink. He trumphed, and al
though his master kept him twelve years after
that, he never could persuade the monkey 10
taste another drop of whiskey.
From that admirable work. illustrations OF
instinct we take the following: "a monkey

ed the following plan of furnishing the thieves.
He ieisned death, and lay perfectly i.otoness
on The ground. near to his stake. The birds ap-
preached by degrees, and got enough to
steal his food, which he allowed them to do.
This he repeated several times, ill they became
so bold TO come within the reach of his claws.
He calculated his distance. and laid hold of one
of them Death was not his plan of punishment;
he was more refined in his cruelty. He plucked
every feather out Of the Bird and then let him
GO and show himself to his companions.-IIe

fnition of biped without feathers"
