Vanity Of an Ape.

An eminent French artist possesses a monkey,
very intelligent, very ugly, but an immense pet
Of her owner's Mademoiselle Nounine, howey-
er, possesses all the defects which the cynic con
siders to be particularly feminine She is lazy,
inquisitiye, excessively addicted to sugar plums,
fruit-cakc, etc.. fdgety, disordeely, touching
everything, breaking everything she touches,
daubing her masters pictures, twisting the
necks eff his wife's canariesj and having once
upon a time, pulled every feather out of hand
some parrot, in imitation Of the cook whom she
had seen the day before picking fowl, A short
time since the artist, having to go out, and
dreading lest Nounine should perform some new
piece Of mischief during his absence, bethought
himself Of q method of furnishing her with
something to do until his return. He according
ly took the monkey upon his lap, dressed her in
gay gown which had served as model in one
of his pictures in which figures Marquise Of
the time of Louis XY, painted her cheeks white
and red, with black patch under one eye, pow
dered her head, hung string of beads around
her neck, and then having seated her on the
floor in a corner of the atelier puta small look
ing-glass into her hand, and left her, not with
out some misgiving, and promising himself not
to be long away. But, instead Of returning ear
ly, the artist was Unexpectedly detained, and
only got home the next morning He rushed
into the atelier in terror, expecting to find eve
rything upside down, and half his pictures
spoiled.
g really must get rid of Nounine, said the
artist to himself as he anxiously unlocked the
door of the studio, for [ cannot let my work be
remain at the little wretch's mercy" But to his
surprise and relief he found her sound asleep,
exactly where he had placed her and holding
the looking-glass in her hands. Not thing had
been touched by her in the artists absence
3" The fact is" continued the cynic, +" that the
ugly little beast, as vain as her sex entities her
to be- had been so enraptured with her own
beauty, and that Of her fuery, that She had re-
NAMED, through the entire day, absorbed in
contemplation Of her charming self in the little
hand glass Now, tell me, he added triumph
antly appealing to his listeners, does anybody
believe that male monkey would have passed
a whole afternoon in gazing at himself in mir
ror, and can anybody doubt, after such proof
to the contrary, that vanity is not the ruling
! passion of the female sex ?"

Wit at a Pinch.

A country girl one morning went
To market with a pig;
The little curl-tail, not content,
SQuealed out merry jig.
A dandy, who was riding by,
Who wished to pass joke,
My dear, how comes your child to cry,
When wrapped up in your cloak
The country girl, quite quick replies,
So bad breeding had he,
That, ever and anon, he cries
When'er he sees his daddy.

Receipts in Poetry
NEVER SAY FAIL.

MY LH "a 4 EAALs
In life's rosy morning,
In youths early pride,
Let this be the motto,
Your footsteps to guide,
In storm and in sunshine,
"We'll onward and conquer,
And never say fail ]"
The spirit Of angels
Is active, l know,
As higher and higher
In glory they 60.
Methinks on bright pinions
From heaven they sail,
To cheer and encourage
Who never say fail ]
Then onward-'tis wiser
Than sitting aside
And dreaming and signing
And waiting the tide.
For earnest in action,
They only prevail
Who daily march onward,
And never say fail l0
With spirit no dangers
Or threats can dismay,
And a heart that to sorrow
win never give way.
You'll battle and conquer,
Though thousands assail,
How strong and how mighty
Who never say fail.
Then onward, still onward,
No effort is vain;
Heed not all the envious
Who gladly detain;
All obstacles vanish,
All enemies quail,
In the might OF their wisdom
Who never say fail

How OLD IS THE RACE ?-How long has man
1.-The great crowning work of the creation
been upon the earth2 Here we are lost The
discoveries in Switzerland go to show that two
or three races pre-historical, Adamite, had
lived in wooden cities built on piles extending
into the lakes of that country. They could be
traced by The instruments they used. One had
instruments of stone; a second of bronze and a
third of iron. In other places as in the region
Of Amiens in France, implements of stone, fash
iOned by human hands, have been found in beds
of gravel, under chalk formations, where vast
ages must have been required for the soil to
collect above them In the Pyrenees, also hui
man bones have been found with the bones Of
animals extinct before history began. The same
has been in this country. Arrow heads of flint
have been found with the remains of mammoth
animals such as have not been since man began
record Of events. In Kentucky, in 1888 the
remains of an extinct animal were disentombed
as large as an elephant that had been mred and
destroyed by human beings The whole were
nine feet below the surface. There was found
a layer of charcoal six to twelve inches thick
arrow heads, tomahawks and pieces of rock
The fore and hind feet were standing in a per
pendicular position, and likewise the full length
of the leg below the ashes, so deep in the mud
and water that the fire which had clearly been
J kindled to destroy the animal had no effect OF

found imbedded in coral reef on the Florida

ARsENIcAL OBNAMENTs.-A few days since, a
little girl had a bunch Of artificial grapes given
her. After amusing herself with the toy, she
gave it to playmate Of her own age who pre-
sently picked grape off the bunch and sucked
it, The next day she was a corpse. An eminent
physician, who analysed the plaything, deposed
that ten of the grapes yielded three grains Of
arsenic OF copper-a deadly poison--an that
each vine leaf on the bunch contained enough to
kill a child. Another child's cupboard in which
its toys were kept was lined with green paper.
The poor little thing sckened and died, obvi-
ously from the effects Of the poison mysteriously
imbibed. DR.. Letherby analyzed the paper
hangings Of the cupboard, and found that a
nearly thirteen grains of the deadly compound,
enough to kill two grown-up persons.-London

THE FoRcE OF SARCAsM.-The Marchioness of
Cosln one day solicited an audience of Fouche,
then Minister of Police. The audience was
granted, but Fouche who was resolved to refuse
whatever the Marchioness might ask for, re-
ceiyed her standing, with his elbow resting on
the chimney piece, and did not invite her to a
seat.
" Citizen Minister, said the Marchioness,
come to ask what crime my sister, Madame
d'Avaray, has committed that she should be ex-
lied.
" She is an enemy of the Government re-
piled Fouche, " and has the audacity to set it at
defiance"
" She audacious retorted the Marchioness,
she defy the First Consul? How little you
know her, She is 50 timid that she would not
venture to say, Citizen Minister, have the good
ness to hand me chair.
At these words, Fouche was SO disconnected
that he lost all courage to be hostile Madame
de Coslin had a chair, and Madame d'Avaray re-
ceived permission to return to Paris.
