gun from the wall Mr.. Yanneck handed
it to the monkey, who fetched the pow
der-fast and shot-bag, and in the whole
process ofloading acquitted himself like
a riaeman. l had already seen SO much
that was astonishing, that l hardly felt sur
prised at this feat. Jack now placed him
self at the open window, took aim, and
discharged the gun without being in the
least startled by the report. He then
went through the sword exercised with
the same skill. '@ F.E
1t would be too long to jot down al!
Mr.. Vanneck told US about his method of
education and training the above facts,
Witnessed by myself, bear sufficient evi-
dence Of the abilities OF the animal, aud
its masters talents for tuition. We stayed
10 supper, to which there came more la
dies and gentlemen. Jack again exhibi-
ted his cleverness in waiting, at which he
acquitted himself as we'll as any man SER
want. Going home my companion missed
a small box Of sweets, out OF which he had
regaled the monkey with almonds. Jack
had managed to steal it from his pocket
and on being afterwards convicted OF the
theft he was severely punished by his

Who yyns Cain,s hHlre.

How often has this inquiry been made
10 certain class Of minds such guess
ton possesses more Importance than the
gravest investigations in theology. Mr..
Weaver OF 81. Louis, in answer 10 a cor
respondent, thus responds, through the
Herald and Era, to the inquiry, " Who
was Gains wife %
a subscriber asked this singular ques-
ton. We answer, she was Cams wife.
That's all we knew about her. That is
all the accounts say Of her, save that She
was the mother of Enoch.. 1t is said that
Cain went into the land of Nod and we
suppose that he took his wife with him rs
any good husband would. In the land
of Nod they had Enoch, and probably
other children not a few, and grand chill
drcn for they built a city there. The
city probably was not so large as St
Louis, but it very likely was a large
household, OF which Cain was patriarch.
1t might have been his own and the fami
lies OF his children, living in scpera;e
dwellings.
What Gains wite's name was, and who
her parents were we are not certified
She might have been the daughter OF
Adam and Eve, or. Of some of their chii>
dren. She was probably closely related
to Cain, a sister, or niece, OR something Z
nearer than cousin. Cousins marry in
our day when the world is fail Of s1rang-
crs. Ii wouldn't have been SO great a
wonder for Cain TO marry his sister, when
there were no girls in the world, and no
laws OF marriage, anL nobody else to

and partaking of a warm and comfortable

I listened to the relations OF his adventures

say to my father that he expected to buy

ANOTHER FLORIDA INDIAN " WAR.---Els
Sacre Of U. S. TroopS.-By au extra from

come to Fort Brooke from Fort Myers,
the head quarters of the L. s. Troops in
Florida:
FoRr BROOKE, Fla, Dec. %, 1856.
An exploring party under command of

sisting of one sergeant, one corporal ana
seven privatcs, were suddenly attacked
by party OF Seminole Indians at day

examination CT that portion of the Big
Cypress Swamp examined by the troops
last winter. Three men OF the command
arrived at Fort Myers on the night OF the

suit and the remainder Of his party have

come no farther. The Indians making
the attack were some 25 or 80 in number.
Two companies Of tue 9nd Artillery were

Do IL Thoroughrr.

There lives in New England a gentle
mar who gave the following interesting
account Of his own life. When he was 2I
years OF age he lost his health, SO he Was
thrown out upon the world 70 seek any
employment, for which he had strength.
He said he went 10 find employment with
the determination that Whatever he did do
be would do it well. The first aud only
thing he found that he could do, WAS 10
black boots and scOur knives in a hotel.
This he did, and did il well. ThouslS The
business was low and serVile, lie did not
lay aside bis Eelf-respect, or allow himself
to be made mean by his business. The
respect and confidence Of his employera
were soon secured, aud be was advanced
to more lucrative and less laboricu, po-
sition.
In the course oftime be was enabled TO
begin business for himself, which he carries
on extensively. He has accumulated an
ample fortune and is training an interest,"
lag family by giving them the best nd.
vantages, for moral and mental euItiva-
ton. He now holds an elevated place in
the community where he lives. >
Young men who may chance to read
the above statement Of facts, should mark
the success. The mans whole character
Of whom 1 have spoken, WAS formed and
directed by the discrimination TO do What
ever he did well.
Do the thing you are doing 80 we'll
that you will be respected IN Your place
and yon may be sure that it will be said
