ers from their own possessions, and, devoid
Of all sympathy, keep the control as long
as they have strength and sharp teeth
equal TO the maintenance of the ascendency.
Rats and nice accompany civilization.
They make voyages round the world, leav-
ing colonies at every stopping place where
there is time for communication with the
shore. By nice instinct they scent the
land, and, with equal nicely of diserimi
nation decide to emigrate when a vessel
arrives in port There is a language by
which their intentions are communicated
from one to another, or it would be impOs
sible there should be such general acqui
escence in new enterprise. But with all
the ingenuity of naturalists in studying
out the economy and governing instincts
of many races, the rats bid defiance to
their researches. Whether there are chiefs
of tribes, bashaws, or an oligarchy, is still
an open question. Yet there is a concert
of action in their apparently confused
movements, which at least presupposes a
sagacity always equal TO the emergency,
when on their thieving expeditions. When
ten rats agree to dip their tails in success
sion into the nose of an oil jug, and then
lick each others caudal extremity for a
luxury. it indicates something beyond in
stinct.

Government Among ANIMALS,

Unlike the mouarchial system of horses
dogs in the savage or semi-wild state, left
to themselves, without masters, as they are
in all oriental cities, form clans, and actu-
ally subdivide their foraging ground into
districts. over the boundaries Of which a
death penalty Is inflicted upon a trespass-
er if Ire cannot make a successful escape.
Wolves hunt together in packs, and by
combining forces destroy both men and
groups Of large animals When their
hunger Is satisfied they separate, and wan
der about steaithily and Solitarily. Not
so, however, with dogs They keep com
pact together in searching for garbage, as
the scaycngers in all oriental countries,
and quarrel sayagely for a bone but
when It disappears their wrath subsidies,
and they are good friends again. No one
dog assumes superiority over the others of
his clan or district, which shows a peculiar
order Of government. They know every
member of another community, and deadly
conflicts ensue when either party crosses
the recognized lines of territory. Many
young puppies lose their lives in conse-
guence of not being thoroughly instructed
in their constitutional rights and privileges.
Travellers furnish abundant evidence Of
this natural order Of government among
CANNES. 1t matters not where they may
be-in Europe, Asia, Africa, or America
the form of government Is always the
same.
Those four-handed gentlemen with tails,
accounts Of whose initiative faculty, rest
less activity, and nut-loving stomachs are
written in books, seem to form no associa-
tions, or act under any acquired or instinc-
tive rules that approach to any systematic
form of government. Monkeys are social
in their habits, but excessively selfish, ca
PRECIOUS, and unreliable. Unrestra;ned in
their native haunts, they lead wandering,
vagabond life in groups principally in the
tops of trees There is neither king, au
tocrat, presiding elder, nor council Of state
among them. When alarmed, they all
.scamper out Of harms way as fast as pos
sible, reappearing as soon as the cause Of
alarm is past. They then chatter with
the voiubility of members of debating
club about nobody knows what. Howling
monkeys listen hours together to the awful
noise Of one individual perched on a limb
where the others can both see and hear
the distinguished orator. What it is all
about can no more be OWNED than the Sc
crets Of the Knights of Malta.
Monkeys have philoprogenitiveness. 4
big fellow is never happier than when he
sits hours together with a little one in his
arms but no attachment is discoverable
toward adults of either sex that partakes
Of the characteristics of actual love. Ish-
maelites in their intercourse-each looks
out for himself, utterly regardless Of the
rights, claims, or interests of others.
Might Is right, to all human appearance,
with the lower orders of animals. The
strongest, by mere dint Of physical force,
have full sway among their associates,
seizing the best morsel, driving away 9TH

Sympathy in distress and desire TO al
Ieviate misfortune Is characteristic of one
of our city magistrates. 1t is very seldom
want appeals to him in vain, and his hand
is as open as day to melting charity, Not
long since ne was called on by deaf mute,
and so perfectly did the poor boy excite his
compassion that he bestowed money on
him literally, dressed him up in an elegant
suit of clothes, and took him to his resi-
dence. Finally the mute went away, and
the tender-hearted magistrate bade him
good-by with a tear in his eye. And very
kindly did he speak of him afterwards,
and wish the youth every success in life.
Time went on and he heard nothing more
Of his protege until one morning In pass
ing by the lookup, the angry denunciations
of a prisoner excited his attention. The
bitterest anathema, the direst curses,
rang out with the fuency of a country
lawyers rhetoric Surprised at such an in
cessant flow of blasphemy. the good judge
took peep at the prisoner. What = he
exclaimed, am I mistaken? Are you
not mute {? he asked, recognizing his
protege Of few weeks before. used

truth, people troubled me so much with

ORIGIN OF LONGFELLow's EvANGELIN E.
Hawthorne dined one day with Long
fellow, and brought with him a friend from
Salem. After dinner the friend said Z [
have been trying TO persuade Hawthorne
to write story, based upon legend of
Acadie, and still current there ; the legend
of a girl who, in the dispersion of the
Acadians, was separated from her lover,
and passed her life in waiting and seeking
for him, and only found him dying in a
hospital, when both were old L0ngfel'ow
wondered that this legend did not strike
the fancy of Hawthorne, and said to him
, If you have really made up your mind
not to use it for a story, will you give it
to me for poem? To this Hawthorne
assented, and moreover promised not to
treat the subject in prose till LOngfellow
had seen what he could do with it in verse.
And 50 we have Evangelne in beautiful
hexameters,-a poem that will hold its
place in literature while true affection
lasts Hawthorne rejoiced in this great
success of Longfellow, and loved to count
up the editions, both foreign and Ameri-
can, of this now world-renowned poem
