COURIERS OF THE CZAR.

The Russian general, Prince Mentchicoff,
who defended Sebastopol, had occasion, du-
ring the siege of that city, to send an i'm 'ort-
ant message to the Gar at St. Petersburg !;
and ordered a faithful officer to be his mes
senger, giving him directions not to halt or
delay until he stood before the Gar, and
above all not to lose sight of the precious
message which he bore. Away went the officer
in sleigh belonging to the Car 8 couriers.
At the end of each twenty miles, he found fresh
horses awaiting him; these we're quickly har-
messed to his sleigh, in place of the weary
animals, and the servants and stablemen
would cry out
"Your Excellency, the horses are ready"
"Away then !" the officer would say to the
driver and off he would 60 again at the
most rapid pace of which the horses were Ca
pable Riding in this way for several days
and nights, suffering with cold and pursued
by wolves in the forests, the officer, weary
with watching his dispatches day and night,
at length reached the palace of the Gar, and
was Immediately ushered into his pres
ence. He had no sooner handed the Empe-
ror the letter of the general than the messen-
ger sank into chair and fell fast asleep in
the royal presence-an offense which, in
some ages, would have been punishable with
instant DEATH When he had finished reading
the despatch, the Gar wished to ask the
officer question, but found he could not
awaken him. The attendants called to him,
touched him and shook him, but all in vain !;
and at last one declared the poor fellow was
dead. The Gear was much grieved thereat,
and went to the officer and examined his
pulse, and put his ear down to his side, and
declared he could hear his heart humping.
He was only asleep. But he soon found
that the exhausted officer could not be reused
by the usual means. At length the Gar,
STOPPING down, cried in his ears:
"Your Excellency, the horses are ready"
At the sound of these words which he had
heard every twenty miles of his journey, and
the only ones which he had listened to for
days, the faithful officer sprang to his feet
and cried:
"Away then !"
Instead of driver and horses, he found the
Gear before him, laughing heartily at his con-
fusion and dismay. You may be sure his
offense was forgotten instead of being pun
ished for sleeping when his work was done, the
officer was rewarded for his faithfulness.-

MONKEYS AT SUPPER.

There is pretty grove of mangos just out
of Lucknow, called the Aish Grove, or the
monkey grove. In this place are hundreds
of monkeys One evening went out to see
them. At first I rode under the big trees,
looking everywhere and not seeing one, [
was beginning to feel disappointed. But
presently I saw two or three in the road,
three or four on top Of house, and all at
once they were everywhere hanging from
the branch of the trees above my head, run
ming across the road, up the tree trunks, SO
1 concluded there were few left.
As was watching these few, a man came
out of a small shop with big bag full OF
grain and going up and down the road in
front of our buggies, began calling out, Gao,
40, 40 !" which means come, come, come
In few minutes everything seemed alive
with ugly, long monkeys They sat down on
their hind feet and put the grain into their
mouths as fast as they could very greedy
they we're. Some Of the mother-npnkeys
took up their babies in their arms, rocking
them backward and forward just as you
have seen your mothers DO with your little
brothers and sisters.
Just as they we're in the midst of their big
dinner, eating as fast as they could, there
appeared upon housetop very large black
monkey. He sat a moment and gazed upon
the feast, then spraug from the roof, seating
himself in the centre of the assembly. There
was a general breaking up, and, squealing
fearfully, they all ran away to the edge OF
the road.
The old fat monky sat upon his hind feet
and looked around, then wisely looking at me,
seemed to say,
81 am monarch Of all survey
My rights there is none to dispute y
Not one of them dared to come near him
1 asked the reason, and they said he was the
king monkey and all the other monkeys were
afraid of him. After he had eaten enough he
scampered back upon the housetop, and sat
watching, the others as they finished what he
had left

TREATMENT OF ANIMALS.

The wealth of all civilized nations is con-
centrated in the bones and muscles Of the do
mestic animals. The horse, the OK, and the
ass, although nothing but dumb brlltes, arc
the levers which move the civilization of the
world That which made the condition of
the North American Indian so deplorable,
was the fact that he had no domestic animals
but the dog. With this he could do nothing
but drag rude sleigh over the SHOWS. The
savages of Asia were in advance Of the Amer
ican Indian in no respect except that they
had some domestic animals. No one can es-
innate the value of the horse, the OK, and the
ass. Without them no cities could be built,
no roads constructed, no mines opened. In
one word, nothing could be done to develop
the resources of the soil. The forest could
never be cut down and the sea never crossed.
Such being the case, these animals deserve
kind treatment at the hands of their owners.
A vast amount of money is worse than wasted
by abusing horses and mules. Managing
animals means, when used by some people,
beating them with sticks and clubs, and half
feeding them. The manner in which horses
and mules are treated on some southern
farms, is a violation of all principles of the
Christian religion, and shame to civiliza-
ton. Really, man must be the subject of a
strange mental delusion, who either abuses
his stock himself, or suffers others to do it.
He may be full of energy, but still is bad
calculator. He may make large crops, but
wastes it in destroying his most valuable
property.
The practice of whipping horses is as foolish
as it is cruel. In ninety-nine cases out OF
every hundred, it does more harm than good.
In fact, it is doubtful whether whipping ever
does any good. Instead of making the ami
NAL obedient and gentle, it makes it dsobedi-
ent and dangerous 1t lives in state of con-
stant dread, and consequently is always either
in low state of flesh or absolutely poor.
One severe whipping will reduce horse or
mule more in flesh than months hard work.
Not only so, but it shortens the days of the
animal, and hence decreases its real value.
Powerful as are the muscles Of the horse and
mule, they are still delicate creatures, and
require careful treatment. Their value may
be greatly reduced by few over drives or
over loadings. Some people seem to be of
the opinion that they never tire and never
need rest. This is a senseless conclusion.
A few overrides will ruin the best horse in
the world, and a few over pulls will ruin the
best mule in the world. Both the horse and
mule require to be gently worked and rode
and regularly fed and watered.

ALKALI FOR OLD APPLE TREES.

In considering the growth of organisms,
the actions of the alkales is to be looked upon
as scarcely less important than that of air
and water. Lime is the great animal alkali,
and potash the vegetable one its old name
of vegetable kali expressed that fact, and all
the potash of commerce is we'll known to be
derived from wood-ashes. The Importance
of potash as a manure has been frequently
overlooked by farmers, who rarely know the
large amount of this material found in grass,
grain crops, leaves, barnyard manure, roots,
and fruits. How potash acts in plants, in
conjunction with carbon and slick, to form
woody fibre, starch, sugar, and oil, is yet un.
known to chemical observers, but the fact of
its action is beyond doubt.
Liebig long since pointed out that the chief
cause of barrenness is the waste Of potash
carried off by rich crops, especially tobacco,
with no replacement by proper manure How
many millions of pounds of potash have been
sent to Europe from the forests of America,
and in the grain, tobacco, and hemp? Luck
lily, one alkali may be replaced by another,
and we have received a considerable quantity
of soda from European seaweed and in the
shape of salt. Latterly, nitrate of soda from
natural deposits in South America is brought
to us at cheap price.
The point to which we now call attention is
that our farmers and fruit growers have ig'
nored, or rather have been ignorant of the
importance of wood ashes as vegetable slim
ulant, and as the leading constituent of plants
Even coal ashes, now thrown away as useless,
have been shown, both by experiment and
analysis, to possess fair share of alkaline
value. According to our observation, if the
practice of putting mixture of wood and
coal ashes around the stems of fruit trees and
vines, particularly early in the spring, were
followed as general rule, our crops of apples
grapes, peaches, &C., would be greatly bene
fitted in both quality and quantity, and the
trees and vines would last longer. We will
relate only one experiment.
Some twenty-five years ago we treated an
old hollow pippin a! pie tree as follows: The
hollow, to the height of eight feet, was filled
and rammed with compost of wood ashes
garden mould, and little waste lime (carbo
nate) The filling was securely fastened in
by boards. The next year the crop OF sound
fruit was sixteen bushels from an old shell
of tree that had borne nothing of any ac'
count for some time. But the strangest part
was what followed. For seventeen years after
filling, the old pippin tree continued to flour
ish and bear well.-Scientifc american.

4 PERSIAN TALE.

There was once Prince, who, being dis
pleased with one Of his mobiles, determined to
punish him. The Prince commanded that he
should be shut up in high tower. Into
this tower there was only one entrance, which
was walled up Immediately y after the nobleman
had been placed there Thus all hope of es-
cape seemed to be cut of, and the unhappy
man was left to perish. Inside the tower
there was long winding staircase, by which
the prisoner reached the top. While look
ing down from there, he observed his wife
who had come, indulging faint hope that
she might be able, by some means or other,
to aid her husband in escaping from his place
of confinement. On inquirng if she could
be of any service to him he replied "Oh yes
20 and procure black beetle, little grease,
a skein of silk, skein of twine and long
rope" The poor wife hastened to obtain
what her dear husband asked for, wonder
ing no doubt at the strangeness of his request.
She soon returned furnished with the things.
Her husband then directed her to put the
grease on the beetles head, to fasten the silk
to its hind leg, the twine to the silk, the rope
to the twine, and then place the beetle on the
wall of the tower On being set at liberty on
the wall, the beetle, smelling the grease on
his head, and not being able to discover where
it was, crept up the tower in search of it till
it arrived at the top The nobleman caught
it, and taking the silk from its hind leg, care.
fully drew it up. When he came to the end
of the silk he found the twine, and next he
came to the rope. Fastening this to crook,
he let himself down, and made his escape.
