But wide a. the patriots uubought soul,

Plant Frujt and Flowers yea, Flowers and Fruit!

Bat n subtle Alchcmis AT the root

Who follows thy foot prints silently,
Nor sleeps when thy abors close,
Until the Wilderness, ''glad for thcc,"
Is blossoihing like the Rose!"

THE MONKEY AND TIE HAwK.-The
cook of a French nobcman, whose chateau
is in the south of France, had monkey,
which was allowed the free range of the
kitchen, and which was so intelligent that
by pretty severe training, his natural pro-
pensity to mischief had been subdued, and
no was even taught to perform certain use
full services such as plucking fowls, for in
stance, at which he was uncommonly cx-
pert, One fine ncmorning pair of partride-
es was given the monkey to pluck. The
creature took them to an open window of
the kitchen, which looked directly upon the
park, and wentto work with great diligence.
He soon finished one, which he laid ON the
outer ledge Of the window, and then went
quietly on with the other A hawk, which
had been watching his proceedings from
ncigIiboring tree, dortSd down upon the
pnclicd partridge, and in minute was up
the tree again, grcedily dcvouring his prey.
The CONSERVATION of the monkey at this
outward adventure may be easily imagined.
IIo knew he would be severely whipped for
losing it. He hoppcd about in great dis.
trcss Tor some minutes, when suddenly n
bright thought struck him. Selling the
remaining partridge, he went to work with
great energy, and stripped off the feathers.
Eie then laid it on the ledge, just where he
placed the other, and closing one of the
shutters, concealed himself behind it. The
hawk, which by this time had finished his
meal, very soon swoopcd down upon the
partridge, but hardly had his claw touched
the bird, when the monkey sprung upon
him from behind the shutter. The hawks
head was instantly wrung, and the monkey,
with triumphant chuckle, proceeded to
strip off the feathers. This done, he car
ried the two plucked fowls to his master,
with a confident aud self-satisfied air, which
seemed to say, Hero are two birds, Sir (;
just what you gave me-" What the cook
said or, finding one of the partridges con
verified into hawk is more than we are able
to tell

les of the first printed edition of the Bible.
1t may not be generally known chat the
Bible was the first book printed after the
discovery of tho ar OF printing. It,was a
work of about one thousand three hundred
pages, and consisted of two large folio vol
ulnes. a vast amount of time and labor
was required to print it. And the fact
that it was not written with pen as other
copies had been, was for long time con-
cealed. This, work was done about the
year l445-niorr than four hundred years
ago. Who can estimate its influence on the
world Asthe Bible was the first book
printed, so there have been more copies of
tho Bible printed than of any other work.
