A Monkey story.

I MUST tell you of something that
i happened one day last summer,
when / was at the Geological Garden in
Philadelphia.
Among the persons standing around
the cage where the monkeys were kept,
was an old lady who had on pair Of
gold trimmed spectacles. All at once, -
big brown monkey stretched out his
paw between the bars, snatched the
spectacles, and scampered away, chat.
tering and grinning with delight.
OF course, the poor lady was in dis
tress. The keeper came to the rescue,
and, by driving the monkey about the
cage with long pole, forced him at last
to drop the spectacles. But one of the
glasses had come out Of 1t and this the
thief still held in his mouth and refused
to give up.
The keeper followed him sharply with
the pole. Away he went, swinging
from one rope TO another, screaming and
scolding all the time, until the keeper
was so tired, that feared he would
have to let the monkey keep the glass.
But this the keeper said would never do;
for he knew, that, II he let the monkey
carry the day, he could meyer control
him again.
SO the keeper still piled his pole. The
monkey lodged it as well as ne could,
until the blows came so thick and fast,
that he could bear them no longer, when
he opened his mouth, and let the glass
drop.
Now comes the funniest part of the
story. The glass fell quite near the bars,
just where the old lady was standing,
and gentleman took her parasol, which
had hooked handle, to draw it within
reach. But he put the parasol in little
too far, and 1t 1t slipped out Of his hand.
Instantly large yellow monkey wrap
ped his long tail around it, and started
off. Imagine the feelings of the poor
old lady-first robbed of her spectacles,
and then of her parasol.
But her property was all recovered al
last; the robbers were both punished
and she went on her way in peace.
81 About nine o'clock yesterday
morning a farmer-looking man enterei
q grocery store on Woodward avenue,
having jug In his hand, and said 10
one of the clerks:
" want two pounds of nails, and
-D
"Next poor" promptly replied the
clerk, motioning with his thumb.
The farmer entered the store next
door, placed the jug on the counter and
said
I" I want gallon of molasses and -
"Next door," said the proprietor, mo
tioning towards the grocery.
The farmer looked at him for min
ute, then went out and re-entered the
other store. AS the clerk came forward
again the man with the jug remarked
" Why in blazes couldn't you have
told me in the first place that L could
get the mOlasses here and the nails next
door9 What's the use of being 50 mighty
hightoned about nothing" - Detroit

"And now look here" said John !; and
we followed him into the harness room,
where the chickens had chanced to be
hatched, and there, in the straw on the
floor, sat the disconsolate little bantam
rooster, all alone, with his wings spread
and his feathers pufed out, .brooding his
four little chickens under his wings
the four little chickens deserted by their
mother.

J Helen, as we came out. into the great
moty sunbeam again; '.the times are so
depraved that it has really reached the

"Only not SO poetical." said we.
Helen said Mr.. Thornton, ''it is
exactly my condition. Are you going
to have pity for that bird. and none for
me? Are you going to leave me to my
fate % And in a moment, right before
us all, as she stood in that great red
sunbeam. Mr.. Thornton put his arms
round Aunt Helen, who, growing roster
and roster, either from the sunbeam or
something else, could do nothing at last
but hide her face. "Helen." he said,
''you are certainly coming home with
me ?" And Aunt Helen did not say no.

GOOD SOCIETY.

Many parents who have sons and
daughters growing up are anxious for
them to get into good sooiety. This IS
an honorable anxiety, if it interpets
good society after some lofty fashion.
Parents. your daughter is in good So
ciety when she is with girls who are
sweet and pure and rue-hearted; who
are not vain and frivolous; who think
of something besides dress, or flirting,
or marriage; between whom and their
parents there is confidence who are
useful as well as ornamental in the
house who cultivate their minds, and
train their hands to skillful workmau-
snip. II society of this sort is not to
be had. then none at all is preferable to
the worthless article. See to it that you
impress this upon your children, and,
above all, that you do not encourage
them to think that good society is a
matter of fine clothes, or wealth, or
boasting to be somebody. As you value
your child's soul, guard her against these
miserable counterfeits +; and impress upon
her that intelligence, and simplicity, and
modesty, and goodness, are the only
legal coin.
The same rule holds for boys as we'll
as for girls. You would have these enter
into good society. Do not imagine that
you have accomplished it when you have
got them in with set of boys whose
parents are wealthier than you, who
dress better than your boy can afford to,
and who pride themselves upon their
social position. Good society for a boy
is the society of boys who are honest and
straightforward, who have no bad habits,
who are earnest and ambitious. They
are not in hurry to be men. They are
not ambitious for the company of shall
low, heartless women, old enough to be
their mothers, and are not envious of
their young friends who fancy there is
something grand in dulling all the edge
of their hearts hope upon such jaded
favorites.
There is nothing sadder than to see
either young men or women priding
themselves upon the society which they
enjoy, when verify it is Dead Sea ap-
pie that will choke them with its dust,
when they need some generous, juicy
fruit to cool their lips and stay the hun
ger of their souls i Christian Register.

The HIGHEST BRIDGE IN THE WORLD.
The Cincinnati papers are giving ac
counts of the opening of the new South
ern Railroad from that city to the Ken
lucky River, where there is said to be
the highest railroad bridge yet built.
1t is 275 feet high, having three spans,
the middle one 375 feet long, and the
others 800 feet each. the total length
being 1926 feet. There is bridge in
Switzerland which is 254 feet high, but
with span only 144 feet long. and one
at Varrugus, in the Andes, 252 feet
high, with spans 125 feet long. The
piers of this Kentucky bridge, except
those at Brooklyn, are the largest in the
county, the stone work being 130 by AZ
feet, and the base of the iron work III
by %. The frame is all wrought iron
and was built out from the abutments
toward the center of each span.

tramp prowling about his back yard,
evidently trying to steal something.
"Why don't you come to the front door

reared the proprietor. "That's what [

gentleman got back with his shotgun,

DoNE.-A man who looked like a
countryman was lately walking in the
street with packet in his hand, sealed
and addressed, with a memorandum
that it contained a thousand dollars
in bank notes. AS the bearer appeared
to be at loss, he was accosted by man
who asked him what he was looking for.
The simple countryman placed the pack
ct in the inquirer's hands, and requested
that he would read the address, as he
was unable to do so, and had forgotten
it. The reply was made as with agree
able surprise, "Why this letter is for
me have been expecting it for long
while" The messenger upon this de-
manded dollar for the carriage of the
packet, which was readily repaid. The
new possessor of the packet fastened to
an obscure corner to examine his prize
but, on breaking the seal, he found
nothing but few sheets of paper, on
which was written the simple word

A Pastor in Macon, Ga, was recently
called upon to make few remarks on
the character of colored class-leader
who had visited brothers hen roost,
fallen unexpectedly, and broken his
neck. The pastor made rather bung-
ling lob of it: "There are circumstances
connected with his death that are per-
picking. If, after he fell and before ne
struck the ground, he repented of his
sins, there can be no question but that
he is now in glory; but there was mighty
little time for him to think about it"

The burning of the Southern Hotel at
St. Louis, with all its heart-rending hor-
rors, again suggests the question, sis
our civilization failure ?" Here was
building which contained 700 rooms,
and cost nearly million of dollars, liza
bic to take fire at any moment, and yet
so constructed as not to afford any means
of escape for those in occupancy of the
upper floors in case of any accident
which should start confagration in the
lower rooms. The hotel was completed
in 1862. Elevators had recently been
introduced, and to this cause alone is at
tributed the sudden spread of the flames
to all parts of the building and the aw-
full destruction of human life that fol
lowed. The great fire in Boston, which
occurred four years ago last November,
gained its uncomfortable headway thro'
the faulty construction of the elevator
in the building where the fire originated.
which being made of combustible mate
rials, carried the flames in an instant
beyond the control of the most powerful
engines for their subsection. 1t is plain
to see that the governments of our cities
have duty to perform in regard to the
public which they should no longer ig-
more, for there is not city in the coun-
try where similar calamities are not la
bic to occur, unless there is more rigid
supervision of the construction of all
buildings of this kind. Instead of being
cased with wood all elevators should be
made absolutely fire-proof, and every
building of unusual height should be
provided with some sort of apparatus in
every room by which the inmates would
be able, in case that all other means oi
egress should prove unavailing, to lei
themselves down from the windows and
save their lives.-Boston Herald.

TWILIGHT.
by FREDERICK TESNYsoS.

OF as thy thoughts are overproud and gay
With pomps Of Life, and gories of the World,
Or Sorrows knotted serpents round thee curl'd
Fetter thine arms, and eat thy heart away.
Turn back and look upon the solemn Past;
Think thou what all hath been, what all shall be,
Those pale gray hues Of our Mortality
Are joys that faded, woes that could not last
Stand thor on Memory's peak at set OF Day.
And in the dusky air 'twixt Noon and Night
Which is the funeral torch, and which the light
That goes before the bride. canst thou say?
As moon-lit gardens with their alleys gray
Invite more lovers than the glorious Morn;
As the bright Champaign with its waved corn
Into soft seas of azure dies away.
As Mountains with their pinnacles Of ice.
As barren crags lit with fame Of Even
Look beautiful and stars come forth in Heaven
When Day no longer dazzles in the skies.
As unsee1 violets yield their rarest balm,
As trumpet notes wax sweet upon the wind,
As lovely colOrs float before the blind
As torrent waters from afar look calm.
So Joy grows tender. Sorrows self is mild,
Forgotten voices sweet as music seem,
And stormy troubles quiet as a dream,
And Good and III old foes, seem reconciled.

There is a sacredness in tears. They
are not the marks of weakness, but Of
power. They are messages Of over
whelming grief, of deep contrition, of
unspeakable love. Despise no woman's
tears they are what makes her an an
gel. Scoff not if the stern heart of man
hood is sometimes melted into tears of
affection. They are painful tokens, but
still most holy. There is pleasure in
tears-an awful pleasure.

A CASH TRANsAcTIoN.--As Detroit
man hired a boy to walk home beside
him and carry bundle, having first
agreed to pay the lad fifteen cents.
Reaching the house, the man found he
had no smaller change than quarter,
and he said
"lf you will call at my Office at two
o'clock I'll have the change"
"But it was to be cash down." pro-
tested the boy.
80 it was; but | havn't the change,
you see. You'll have to call at my
Office"
"I'll CALL" growled the boy, as he
turned away; ''but | know just how 1t
will work When knock on the door
a cross-eYed clerk will yank it open, ask
me what l want, and when | tell him
he will yell out: That man went into
bankruptcy last September, and now you
gitp That's the way they always play
it on me, sir, and l druther lose the fif-
teen cents than to call the clerk dodo
and have to dodge coal-scuttles all the
way down stairs
The gentleman walked with him to the
nearest grocery and made change.
Ex-Governor Fenton of New York,
who has made tour of observation thro'
the South, may fairly be supposed to
have some correct understanding of the
Southern question, and what he says is
Therefore worth listening to. What most
of our politicians who have not been
south think about it is not of the slight
est consequence. Speaking of the whites
of the South, Gov. Fenton says that they
have found at last that .'their peace and
prosperity are intimately connected with
the people of the North, and that their
interests must be. in the nature of things,
common interests" This is an impor-
tant advance. and is only second to an
other which Gov. Fenton notes. He says
the evidence of feeling against the COL
ored race is now restricted almost Who'll
ly to what is generally known as the
poor whites, between whom there has al
ways been more or less conflict" This
leaves no reason to doubt that as educa-
tion and good government advance, this
violence of feeling will die out.
