A Monkey Story.

must tell you Of something that
happened one day last summer,
when I was at the Geological Car
den in Philadelphia.
Among the persons standing a.
round the cage where the monkeys
were kept, was an old lady who had
on a pair of gold trimmed spectacles.
All at once, a big brown monkey
stretched ont his paw between the
bars, snatched the spectacles, and
scampered away, chattering and
grinning with delight. -
OF course, the poor lady was in
distress. The keeper came to the
rescue, and, by driving the monkey
about the cage with long pole
forced him of, last to drop tho spec.
tacles. But one Of the glasses had
como ont of it and this the thiei
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 tho time
until the keeper was so tired, that
feared he would have to let the
monkey keep the glass. But thi'
the keeper said would never do FOL
he knew, that, IL ho lot the monkey
carry the day, he could never CON-
troll him again.
S0the keeper still piled his pole
The monkey lodged It as well a. he
could, until the blows came so thicl
aud fast, that he could bear them nc
longer, when he opened his mouth,
and let the glass drop. .i .,'l.s +.
Now comes the funniest part o
the story. The glass fell quite near
the bars, Just where the old lady
was standing, aud . gentleman tool
| her parasol, which had Q hooked
handle, 10 draw it within reach. But
| he put the parasol in . little too far
and II clipped ont OF bic hand. b
Instantly . yellow monkey wrap

started OF. Imagine the feelings d

A writer in the Woonsocket Patriot
says that Webster, when boy, was
lazy in every sport Or work that re-
quired physical exertion. He tells this
anecdote of the statesman's boyhood /:
Among the boys attending school with
him was one bg the name Of Ffeld, to
whom the study Of arithmetic was a
sore trouble, and he was frequently
applying to Daniel to help him out.
Daniel, in the generosity of his nature,
furnished the required help for awhile,
but. at length began to demur, upon
the ground that he was getting no sort
Of equivalent for such important ser
vice. Accordingly, he told Fifeld that
if he was going to pull him through
with his arithmetic, he, FifeId, must
pull his, Daniels, sled up hill for the
rest Of the term. To this Fifeld read
lily agreed, and there, all through the
season, whenever the boys were coast
ing, the future statesman had Fifeld
at hand to drlw his sled up hill, to the
great amusement Of all the other boys,
and indeed to the whole neighborhood.

MANURE foR FRUIT TREEs.-The
Western New York Horticultural So
ciety lately discussed the question Of
manure for fruit trees. One member
said that he had used super-phosphate
Of lime with good results. Another
member said that he had seen more
benefit resulting from super-phosphate
the second year than the first, espe-
cially when the first was dry season.
Another member preferred wood ashes.
He once used 1000 bushels Of leached
ashes on the sandy soil of his orchard
and vineyard, with very great adyan-
tage, applying it at the ratio Of 300
bushels per acre. The quality as well
as size and yield of fruit was very
much improved. Another member
considered barnyard manure as the
most profitable fertilizer for fruit
trees, as it furnishes all the elements
required for growth and fertility
Fruit growers should therefore manu-
facture all the manure they can, by
keeping horses, cattle, pigs, poultry,
and gathering up all the litter, &c, for
the manure pile. Some people are
liable to make mistakes in using stim-
ulating manures as fertilizers for fruit
crops.

AN APT REPLY.-The first presen-
tation of Frogere, the actor, to the
Grand Duke Constantine, took place
one morning at the hour when the
duke received his familiar visitors,
while he was at his toilet. His i'm
.perial highness drew on a pair Of yell
low leather pantaloons, such as were
worn at that time. Having found some
fault with them, he drew them off
again, and desired his valet to bring
him another pair. Constantine, though
his countenance was far from hand
some, possessed very fine figure, and
he bestowed great attention on his
dress. The grand duke, wholly intent
on the business of his toilet, had not
addressed word to FrOgere, when the
latter said @Monseigneur, I am not
your dupe r The grand duke turned
around sharply, and advancing to-
wards Frogere, with an angry look,
said: "What do you mean by that n
"I mean, your highness, that I am not
your dupe. You wish to show me that
you have handsome leg, and that
you have two pairs Of pantaloons at
your service Every one present
burst into fit Of laughter, and from
that time Frogere became a favorite
with the grand duke.

FAITH AGAINST MUsoLE.-A dis
tinguished Clergyman lately preached
an eIoquentsermon on 9faith, " in which
he cook the ground that it was the
source Of all power and achievement,
and more trustworthy than any physi-
cal or material advantage. While he
was going home after church, one of
his congregation, accOsting him, said
that he was expecting to be assaulted
by bully whom he had offended, and
good-humoredly inquired if he should
trust to faith or muscle in the impend-
ing contest. TO faith-by all means
to faith,", earnestly responded the
preacher "but," he instantly added,
and with a gesture suited to the occa-
sion, @you must show your faith by
your works.

Oats will succeed upon soil where
barley would fail. A rough sod and
a moist soil will grow good oats; it is
the best spring crop for reclaimed
swamp or a newly broken clayey mea-
dow. Two and half bushels Of seed
per acre is light seeding three BUSH
els, if drilled, or three and a halt, if
broadcast, is sometimes sown with good
results. The thick seeding yields o
finer stalk, which makes more desir-
able fodder than stouter straw.
