I have known several "boys" in my time, dear
young man,
And royal good fellows were they.
With brains which God meant, in His infinite

For the noblest of deeds; but they fell as

And the hopes which we cherished, no longer

But fond hearts will mourn as they may,

MONKEYS.

The Family Life of Our Simian Pro genitors.
Among other mammals the female
element wields the scepter in family life,
but in the realm of apes the male is in
vested with the sovereign power, not by
general suffrage, but by the right of
force. The oldest and strongest male
Of troop proclaims himself chief and
leader. after having vanquished all his
competitors. The longest teeth and
the strongest arms decide in the ques-
lion of supremacy All those who
show reluctance to submit are chastised
till they come to reason. To the strong
est belongs the crown; in his sharp
teeth resides his wisdom. This fero-
cious tyrant understands his duty as
leader, and performs the same with dig
nifty. His subordinates flatter and fon-
die him in every way. AS a genuine
Pasha, he accepts this respect with
kind of languid acquescence. In return
he watches carefully over his vassals,
and shows continual anxiety for their
welfare and security. He orders and
directs minute details IN daily life. The
female monkey gives birth TO one young
one, very seldom to twins. The new born
monkey is little ugly creature, bare of
hairs, with spindling limbs and repul-
sive, senile face. But the mother is pas
sionately fond of her monster and ca
resses and nurses it with remarkable
devotion. She does not leave it for a
single moment, she, presses it to her
heart, rocks it to and fro, and takes the
utmost care to keep it absolutely clean.
In the first period of life the baby is
apathetic and almost insensible but be-
gins gradually to play with urChins of
its age. The mother is patient OBJ
server of the first steps of her beloved,
and watches carefully that no harm
may befall it. In the meantime she
trains it, and the first virtue inculcated
in the mind of the youngster is ODE
dience, obedience in the strictest sense
of the word. Men have ridcnled the
maternal affection of the brute, and
speak of "apish love" In our eyes the
tenderness exhibited byt he monkey may
have a ridiculous side, but where is the
man who could, without deep emotion,
witness the anxiety of mother-ape
nursing her sick child. | must confess
that, to my eye, in such cases she is at
least the equal of the human mother. If
the young ape dies, the spectacle is a
piteous one. The mother cannot be
separated from the dead body, refuses
all food, and freqently perishes from
grief. In such crises the ape proves GER
tainly his congeniality with the human
race and in his moral affections could
stand as an example to many men,

THE HERO WAS SLAIN.
How the Old Farmer Went for the Boz

How the Old Farmer Went for the Boy
Whose wits Were Wool-Gathering.
One of the farmers who succeeded in
backing his wagon into place at City
Hall Market yesterday morning had
several errands to do around the neigh
borhood, and he left his son of fourteen
on the vehicle to make sale of five or
six bags of potatoes. The old man had
scarcely disappeared when a bill-dis-
tributor came along and threw into the
wagon the first chapters of a sensation
al serial. The boy grabbed for the Fly"
and began to devour the literature in
chunks and hunks, and of the half
dozen people who came along and
asked the price of his potatoes he an
swered only one, and him so absent
mindedly that no sale was made. In
about half an hour the old man re-
turned. He halted at the back end of
the wagon and took in the situation,
and then asked:
George, what you got?"
"Story."
"What about?"
'Injuns."
"Do they kill anybody"
"They are after teller and 1 guess
they git him.

With that he lesJTely climbed over

False Economy.

The Selma PosT expresses deep
concern and anxiety over the purpose
school Board of that place to close
up or cripple seriously the Burrel
School, one of its principal coloredin
stitution of learning.
BY the threatened discontinuance
of the teachers and q denial of that
sympathy and support due the Prin-
cipal from the board of Education,
Prof. Silsbury the Principal resigned
his position at the close of last ses-
sion, and the place has been allowed
to go untitled up to this date. The
Posr pertinently says:
ut is currently reported that the
salary of the principal is to be cut
down and possibly cheap rate man
put at the the head of the school
This was q severe shock to the peo-
pie who had learned to look upon
this as among the best institutions of
learning in the state. But the worse
yet remains to be told. We hear it
stated that the school even in this
crippled condition, is to be run bu,
four months in the year. When we
heard this we were forced to ask
ourselves if we were not mistaken as
to the names of the gentlemen COM
posing the board, being men Of large
and enlightened ideas, and patrons
of education. We ask the question
why such parismony in the manage
ment Of the school. We are sure
that every lover ofintelligence wheth-
or they be white or black will con.
denim this what seems shortsightde-
ness and urge a more liberal ex.
penditure for this school. just why
it should be crippled in this way il
more than we can tell"
Such shortsightedness is a dis
credit to any town; a serious blow
at its own best interests and wei
fare. That is poor economy, mere
parsimony, which robs the children
OF the privilege Of good schools. i'm
posing upon the state ignorant, in.
competent voters and citizens.
Good schools can not be obtained
without good teachers, and good
teachers without fair salrries. The
highest salary for q good tescher
is better investment than the mer-
est song paid for poor one. Econ
omy in this direction is a waste of
money besides being an imposition
on the people.
The fact is becoming more and
more evident every day that there is
no progress without good schools
and enlightened pupils, and those
towns what would keep apace with
this enlightened age must keep con-
stantly improving and building up
their schools.
