Intelligence OF lns acIs.

Ono day, whilo watching a column
OF foraging ants Eri'ion h1Wii1,
placed u stone on one Of thom t. Sc.
cure it. The next that approached,
on discovering tho situation of an
associate, ran back in an excited
manor and communicated with the
others, when all rushed to tho ros,
cue. Some hit at tho stone aud
tried 10 move it, others seized the
prisoner by tho loSs, and tuSged
with force which threatened to
separate them from its body; but
they persevered until they got the
captive free. / next covered ono of
the ants with piece Of clay, leaving
only the needless OF It's antcunn pro
iecting. 1t was soon discovered by
its fellows, which set to work iu
mediatoly, and 10y biting of pieces
Of clay soon liberated it. On an,
other occasion very few ants were
passing at intervals. Gao Of these
VAS confined under piece of clay,
at little distance from the trail,
with its head projecting. Several
ants went by without se,ing it, but
at last it was discovered by sharp
eyed friend, that Mt once undertook
to pull it out. Failing in this it I'm.
mediately hurried off for assistance,
and soon returned with dozen or
more companions, all evidently fully
informed Of the circumstances oil tn q
case, for they made directly for their
imprisoned oomrado, aud shortly set
him free.
Can such actions DO regarded as
instructive =! They seem rather to
be the result of sympathy, tho ants
rendering to their fellows such as.
sistauce as man is in tho habit Of
rendering to his kind. The excite
ment and ardor with which the ants
carried Oh their uniiagging exertions
for the rescue OF their comrades,
could not have been creator if they
had been human being; and this to
meet n danger that can DO only OF
the rarest occurrence.

Mother.

How many heart has been panied
to see tho coolnoss and indifference
which il often manifested for an ag-
ed and dependent mother.
Ago may waste u mothers beauty
and dim the lustre of her eyes, her
strength may depart, her limbs may
refuse to support her tottering
frame, or she may become helpless
as an infant, hut shall wo love ber
less Is sho not our mother still ?
Has she not toiled and watched over
our helpless infancy And in youth
she has tried TO lead us in the
straight and narrow path And in
sickness the was our ministering an
gel, Who but mother could be
so patient. 30 kind and aifcctionate,
so gentle and 30 selfsacrificing rs a
mother.
If we have bcen tempted into for
bidlen paths, it we have followed in
bad counDels and have gone astray, if
we havo chosen evil cDinpanious and
forgotten the good counsels of our
youth, who is as ready to encourage
and lead US back to honor aud virtue,
as mothery She is ready to forgive,
to love and cherish us still.
Who can fithom q mothers love 7
Sho is our frioud when all tho world
iorsakcs Va. She will cling to us, will
die tor us If necessary.
A mothor's lovo is strong, tender
and true. Hard INDEED must bo tho
heart that can neglect and abuse q
dear oil mother.
She should never feel that she il not
welcome, never shonll her sensitive
heart be pained by an unlind look
or word. How little do we appreciate
II mothers tenderness aud love while
living-bow little do We think of her
anxiety for us? But when she il gene,
aud we see lbe old arm chair, the
the vacant place ut tho lablo, and
hear no more her dear voice, then
do wo know she is gone, never moro
TO return aud We cell her back. She
has gone and happily for us If we
can say we have been faithful and
made her happy. and could look for
ward to meeting beyond this world.

AMUSING INcIpESr TX CouRr.-A
laughable incident occurred at trial
at Justices court in Jersey City re.
Gently. A trial was in progress, and
several important witnesses had been
examined ut length the trial had
lasted nearly all day, aud the case
was about concluded. when one OF
the counsel picked up the book upon
which tho witpoasos had been sworn,
in a careless manner, aud perhaps
to refresh his memory with II Bible
text, and opened it, when, to his as
tonishmont, he found tho book was
entitled tales and Novels, by Ma.
ria Edgoworth. llo Immediately
arose and announced the fact, to the
CONSERVATION Of the Justice ana
amusement of the spectators. In
consequence all the witnesses hal to
he re sworn and repeat their tcsti.
mony. One cause Of the mistake
was the close similarity OF the covors
OF the books, and it is also hinted
that it is was The work of waggiah
lawyer.
