SEALS.

The talents of the seal are nanifola,
from the agility which he displays IN
catching fish for his master, to the capacl-
ty he has shown in learning actually TO
speak. More than one seal has been taught
to utter distinctly the word Papa, and
several animals of tho kind are reported
to have gone even beyond, and to haye
pronounced several words at time. Nor
must their love of music be forgotten,
which is SO great that they will Use from
the water and remain nearly standing up
right as long as the instrument is played,
to which they will listen with unmstakabie
pleasure. 1t is not so very long since one
of this remaI kable race came every day for
six weeks from the waters of the Mediter-
ranean, to take her rest under che dlyan
of the custom house officer in Smyrna.
The latter had tanned her, and placed a few
rough planks at he distance of about three
feet from the waters edge under his couch
and on these boards the seal loved to rest
for several hours, giving vent to heI de-
light, oddly enough in a profusion efsighs
like those of suffering men. She ate read
lily the rice and the bread which were
offered her, though she seemed to have
some trouble in seftening the former
sufficiently to swallow it with ease. After b
an absence of several days, the atfeetionate b
creature re-appeared with young one
under her arm, but a month later she
plunged one day, frightened, into the
water, and was never seen again. an
Nearly about the sarne time, another
seal appeared suddenly in the very midst
of the port of Constantinople, undisturbed
by the number of caiques dashlng to and
fro, and the noise of thousand vessels
and their crews and their passengers. One
day the boat of the French legation was
crossing over to Pera, loaded with wine
for the ambassador. A drunken sailor was
sitting astride on the cask, and singing
boisterously when all of q sudden the seal
raised himself out of the water, seized the
sailor with his left arm, and threw him
self with his prey back into the waves.
He re-appeared at some distance, still
holding the man under his fn as if wish
ing to d splay his agility, and then sank
once more, leaving the frightened, obered
sailor, to make his way back to the boat
Surely, nothing more than one such oc-a
currence was needed to give rise to the
many romances of former ages; it the same
had happened in earlier days, the seal
would have been beautiful Nereid, who,
having conceived passion for the hapless
sailor, had risen to take him down to her
palace under the wayes.-~tmt'sana's dag.

OLD JAKE IN A MARE NEST.

The following was sent from the place
of its occurrence, down in New Hamp-
shire, to Harper's Draver, some two
years ago. We've laughed until We
fairly ache over it, and can only say that
if old Jake had quite killed his torturer
Ned, any fair jury would have found it
justifable homicide.
For twenty three years, old Jake Will
lard has cultivated the soil of Baldwin
county, and drawn therefrom support for
himself and wife. He is childless. Not
long since, Jake went in search of "a COW.
His course was through an old worn-out
patch of clay land, some six acres in ex-.
tent, in the center of which was we'll
some twenty-five or thirty feet deep, that
sometime, probably, had served the in
mates of dilapidated house near by with
water. In passing by this spot an ill-wind
driited Jake's tile from his head, and ma
liciously waited it to the edge ofthe we'll,
and in it tumbled.
Now the old gentleman had always
practiced the virtue of economy, and he
Immediately set about recovering the lost
hat He ran to the well, and finding it
was d:y at the bottom, be uncoiled the
rope which he had brought for capturing
the truant cow, and after several attempts
to catch the hat with moose, he concu-
ded to save time by getting down into the
we'll himself. To accomplish this he
made fast one end of the rope to a stump
hard by, and was soon on his way down
the well. 1t was fact, of whch Jake
was no less oblivous than the reader
hereof, that Ned. Willis was in the d.
lapidated old building aforesaid, and that
an old blind horse, with bell on his
neck, which had been turaed out to die,
was lazily grazing within short distance
of the well. The devil himself, or some
other wicked spirit, put it into Ned's
Uranium to have little fun so quietly
slipping up to the old horse, and unbuck-
ling the strap, he approached, with slow
and steady 'sting-a-ling," to the edge Of
the we'll.
Dang the old blind horse !" said the
man at the bottom Of the we'll. "He's
coming this way, sure, and amt got any
more sense than to fal! in here. Whoa,
Bill !'
But the continued approach OF citing
a-ling" said just as plainly as words that
Bill wouldn't whoa. Besides, Jake was
at the bottom, resting before trying to
shin up the rope.
Great Jerusalem !" said he, "the old
cuss will be atop of me before | can say
Jack Robinson Whoa dang it, whoa "
Just then Ned drew up to the edge of
the WELL aad with his foot kicked little
dirt into it.
30 Lord" !" exclaimed Jake, falling on
bis knees at the bottom. "I'm gone now
whoa Now I lay me down to Sleep
wh.o-a IL pray tue Lord ny soul to-
whoa, now! O Lord have mercy upon
| me p
Ned could hold in no longer, and fear
ing Jake might suffer from his fright,
revealed himself. Probably Ned didn't
make tracks from that well.
