man relates the following trick of a pet mon
key, that was kept chained in bis yard. About
three feet beyond his reach, stood trough in
which pig was fed. The monkey was very
fond Of the barley meal which was frequently
given to the pig, but how to get it, while thus
fastened, might puzzle even wiser animal. -
The monkey however, hit upon the following
plan. While the pig was feeding, the monkey
seized the tail of the porker and gave it a
sharp pull the latter turned quickly to re-
turn bite, and in so doing let fall a mouthful
OF the desired barley meal, which his cunning
tormentor Immediately appropriated he re-
peated the experiment with great satisfaction
until the meal was finished.

SCATTER SEED.
In the furrows of thy life,
Scatter seed
Small may be thy spiriT-feld,
But goodly crop twill yield!
Sow the kindly word and deed,
Scatter seed
Sun aud shower aid thee now,
Scatter seed
Who can tell where grain may grow1
Winds are blowing to and fro,
Daily good thy simple creed,
Scatter seed
Up the morning flies away,
Scatter seed
Hand of time must never tire,
Heart must keep it's pure desire;
While thy brothers faint and bleed,
Scatter seed |
Though thy work should seem to fall
Scatter seed
Some may fall on stony ground;
Flower and blade are often found
In the elefts we little heed,
Scatter seed
Spring time always dawns for thee;
Scatter seed
Ope thy Spirits golden store,
Stretch thy burrows more and more,
God will give to thee thy need,
Scatter seed
