The Monkey and the Child.

In the year 1918 vessel set sail from
Jamaica for England, and among the passen-
gers vas lady, the mother of an infant only a
few weeks old. The voysge was very pleasant,
the weather remarkably fine, and the passen-
gers did their best to make the time pass
agreeabIy One beautiful afternoon the cap
tain perceived distant sail-a sight that is
always Welcome at sea. The discovery attract
| ed the attention of all on board, and after
the captain had gratifed his own curiosity,
he politely offered his telescope to the lady,
that she might have clearer view of the
distant vessel. At that moment she had the
baby in her arms; SO, wrapping shawl about
1t, she placed it on a sofa, on which she had
been sitting. The captain assisted her to
steady the glass, but scarcely had she APP
piled her eye to it than the helmsman cried
out, "See what that mischievous monkey has
done!'' The mothers feelings may be imag-
ined, when, on instantly turning round, she
saw that large, strong, and active monkey,
which was OH board the vessel, had grasped
the infant firmly with one arm, and with the
other was nimbly climbing the shrouds with
the evident intention of reaching the very
top of the mainmast The mother, at the
sight of her babe thus in moment taken
from her, tainted away. The captain was at
his wits end. lie was afraid, if he sent the
sailors after the monkey, that it would drop
the child, and endeavor to escape, by leaping
from one mast 10 another. In the meantime
the infant was heard to cry and it was thought
that it was suffering from the grip of the
monkey but the animal was observed to
initiate the motions of nurse by dandling,
soothing, and caressing the child, and even
endeavoring to hush it to sleep. The lady
had been conveyed from the deck to.the cabin,
and gradually restored to her sences; but her
cries were most distressing, and it was only
by force that she could be prevented from
going on deck and trying to climb the mast.
Many plan was tried to lure the monkey
from his lofty eminence but all in vain. at
length, the captain ordered that every man
should conceal himself below. The order
was promptly obeyed, and the captain took
seat where he could see without being seen.
To his great relief, the monkey, on finding
the coast clear, cautiously descended from the
masthead, and replaced the infant on the sofa
from which it had been taken, cold and fretful,
and perhaps frightened, but in every other
respect free from injury. The mothers feel
ings of joy and gratitude when the child was
once more placed in her arms, may be better
imagined than described.

FHE DYING MAIDEN.


Down in the gale where the gurgling stream
RippI9s amid the fcrny leaves,
Meath the willow branch, where the evening beam
GIaddens the earth withits mellow gleanl-
There, mother, make my grave.
And the wild flowers cluster around;
The robin will sit on the spray o'eT my head.
And a requiem sing for the lonely dead
Beneath the grassy mound.
For oft. when the sun had sank 20 rest,
And bright stars enlit the sky,
On its banks we stray'd, alas y too blest;
But he fell afar in the troubl'd West
Ah what can do but die!
As slept last night, spirit stood
Before my startled gaze;
On his breast were the CORY gouts of blood
Iheard it drop on the floor of wood
AS look'd in wild amaze.
Slowly he passed through the cottage door,
And waved his ghostly hand;
] thoughtthe wind from the stilly moor
Breathed to my soul in accents pure
Come to the spirit land
Like the fading sound of a fairy lutte,
Her sweet tones died away;
The silvery tongue is forever mute.
But her gentle love will bear its iruit
Through all eternity.
In a soldiers grave his form is laid,
Down by Potomac's tide,
But his spirit walks thro' the forest glade,
When the moon shines bright, and the gentle maid
Is ever by his side.
And maidens sit in the haunted vaio
At eve hy her quiet grave;
With fearful eyes they rereat the tale,
While mourn fully sighs the evening gale,
And sadly the willows wave.

LAND OccuPIED BY FENcEs-Mr. J.
Harris, in the american AgricultHrist, thus
speaks OF land lost by fences allow much
land does an old-fashioned fence occupy p
have always thought it took up great deal
Of land, but never had the curiosity to mea
sure. But this summer we have been build
ing a stone wall along the whole west side of
the farm, and after it was completed, and the
old fence removed, was surprised at the
quantity of land we had gained. The ground,
of course might have been ploughed closer
to the fence, but taking the case as it actually
was, the old rail fence, with stones, weeds,
rubbish, &C., occupied strip of land one
rod wide. A field, 81 rods long and 81 rods
wide. contains about six acres. A farm of
160 acres so fenced would have 20 acres Of
land taken up in this worse than useless man
ner. Not only is this the use of the land
lost, but it is in the majority of cases, nur-
sery of weeds, and, in ploughing, much time
is lost in turning, and the headlands and cor
ners arc seldom properly cultivated

What can be more desolate spectacle
than an old maid sitting on an inverted half
bushel, in cold kitchen, with her feet on
the brim of a slop- bucket, pairing her corns
with case knife by the light of a tallow
candle.

Ducks BETTER THAN UEEs.-Iti is stated
that Mr.. Comaile. of the Paris Academy of
Science, tested for year the laying esPaci-
ty of three ducks and three hens, with this
result: Hens, 257 eggs; ducks, 617 eggs.
Ducks are more easily raised than chickens,
being a harder fowl, and not subject to the
many diseases incident to the chicken tribe.
a neighbor with only half dozen ducks in
the spring has raised, after using eggs as
needed during summer, flock of one hun
dred dueklings, and is nov selling them off
rapidly at fifty cents per head. At this rate
if duck farming is not profitable, perhaps
some one will figure up better on Sbanghaies.

Who FIXES THE LICENSES "A few DAYS
ago Mayor Murdoch went to Job Ross and
said: "Job have you dissolved with Lnndy.'
Mr.. Ross answered that he had. "I'm glad
oft" said the radical Mayor, "for if you
had mt / would have doubled your license for
the coming year, because Lundy worked so
hard against us election day. But, as you
have dissolved with him, TIL let it be at the
same rate as last year."
This is the exact spirit of radicalism.
But we had supposed the Mayor had nothing
to do with fixing the rate of licenses except
in case of tie vote.

A WORD WITH THE BARK ON.-ln our pa
per this evening will be found communlca'
ton from Mr.. Lundy, exploding several lies
of the Union, and turning the (dinner) tables
on one of the editors of that paper pretty eff
fectually. Having been fed at the public ex
pense so long, The editor alluded to was prob.
ably intensely jealous of Lundy for accepting
of Mr. Astor's invitation to take lunch.
He probably looked on and saw Lundy mas
ticate Astor's jimcracks with watering
mouth, as he had always been accustomed to
"ring in" on such occasions.
Mr.. Lundy goes to Chicago tomorrow,
and says he shall be back here and open bu-
siness. He is a tip-top auctioneer, and, be-
sides being a good business man, and max
ing lots of fun, he is perfect thorn in the
sides of all radicals who point their guns at
him. He never commences on them, and
rarely ever says word on poIitics-but let
rad commence on him, and she's gone
coon, in less than no time
