TIE MONKEY AND THE HAwK.-The cook OF
French nobleman, whose chateau is in the south
of France, had monkey which was allowed the
free range Of the kitchen. and which was so In.
teligent that by severe training its natural pro-
pensity to mischief had been snbdued, and IT was
even taught to perform certain useful services,
such as plucking fowls, for instance, at which IL
was ommonly expert One me morning a
pair of psrtridges was given it to pluck. The
monkey took them to- an open window OF the
kitchen, which locked directly upon the park, and
went to 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. hawk, which had been watching his
proceedings from a neghboring tree, darted
down upon the plucked partridge, and in minute
was up in the tree again, greediiy devouring ms
prey. ,..
The CONSERVATION of the monkey at this unto
ward adventure may be easily imagined. he
knew he should be severely whipped for losing II.
He hopped about in great distress for some min
u.es, when suddenly bright thought struck him.
Selling the remaining partridge, he went to work
with great energy sad stripped OF the feathers.
He then laid il on the ledge, just where be had
nlaced the other. and closing one of the shutters
concealed himself behind it. The hawk, which
by this time had finished his meal, very soor
sWooped down upon the partridge; but hardly
had his claw touched the bird when the monkey
sprr nV upon him from behind the shutter. The
hawks head was instantly wrung. and the mon
kew with triumphant chuckle, proceeded 10 strlI
of the feathers.
Tiis done, be carried ms two plckeo LOWS 70 nl

SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 8. 1859.
Going 10 sleep.

Come hitler, my baby, my darling,
NV lily, my wonderful rose
TIE white bosomed flowers IN the garden
Begin their soft petals to close;
The bees have gone home from the clover.
The swallows are under the caves,
And down in the orchard the robin
Broods over her nest in the leaves.
Come baby, my beauty, my darling
Your eyes are heavy with Sleep;
Your little red mouth has grown silent,
And scarcely its laughter can keep;
Law of the white robes from your shoulders
Unclasp the small shoes from y0ur feet
oh. daintiest blossom OF Eden,
kiss you, my lily, my sweet!
Do you feel the cool wind coming softly,
AID see the young moon in the sky
The clouds sailing over the sunset,
The bats fitting silently by
Do you hear how the cattle are lowing
Along the green lane by the hill
And the brook running over the pebbles,
With music that never is still
Now hush while sing TO you, baby,
A song of the angels above,
That come on invisible pinions
To watch DER the children they love.
So all through your beautiful dreaming
The voice of your mother shall creep,
Lest, bearing the harpings celestial,
Your soul should fly homeward in sleep

SPANISH BEAUrY.-I had heard very much of

AxEcDorE OF CAT.-Ats certain convent in
Paris, the cook used to divide the dinner into .
dozen plates, and the brothers would come and
get their portion. One day, while the cook went
TO ring the bell in the hall TO call them, some one
stole one of the bits Of meat. This happened
several times; and the cook at last resolved to
watch the kitchen, and see who did 1t. While no
a iaid in the room no one came, and the meat was
ali safe So be decided to stay always, and had o
whistle to call the brothers. But the sly thief was
not 10 be cheated In this way; and soon after,
while Mr.. Cook was guarding the dinner, the doar
bell rang and he had to go. Nobody was az Tue
door, and be ran back In rage 70 md one pisSe
empty again. Next day when the bell rang, ~.
stead of answering il the cook hid IN c'oset, ana
minute after the bell had sounded, in at the wiz
dow bounded the big cat, and whisked out sgssp
with her prize. Anxious TO see how she managee
the bell. the cook posted himself at side window
from which be could see the door. In Frapcs
