Remarkable Action Of Monkeys.

An officer stationed at Kalladgee, in
Iodia, was once climbing rocky hill,
when he. and native who accompanied
him, witnessed the following episode; A
poor monkey was being slowly wrapped
in the voluminous fold Of an enormous
boa, its bones breaking like pipe-stems
by the pressure. Gradually the reptile
unwound ITSELF leaving a crushed, unrec-
ognizable mass The numerous monkeys
on the rocks were in the highest state Of
excitement, running wildly about, gesticu.
latiug, chattering, and moaning, though
Of course powerless to help their comrade.
While the snake was commencing his
gorge, and before its body began to FIJI
and swell, the officer and native went in
quest OF stout cudgel and sharp knife.
expecting to make it an easy prey as soon
as it should be filled to repletion. When
again they returned to the scene Of strife
the boa lay thoroughly gorged beneath
projecting mass Of cliff, looking more like
log thanianytbing more lively. On the
summit above troop OF monkeys was as
sembled, and three or four OF the largest
and strongest we're occupied in displacing
a massive fragment Of rock, already loos.
ened by rains from the main ledge. BY
enormous eXertion made. too, with ST.
lence quite unusual to monkeys they AZ
length succeeded 10 pushing the rock un
til it trembled Just over the boa's head
then, uttering ayell OF triumph, they drop
ped it over the miniature precipice, 1t
struck the boa on the head smashing it TO
. jelly. As the great tail lashed about in
efiectually in its last struggle there was a
general chorus OF exutstion man joining
his near relative, il we believe some OF
our Instructors lover this well accom-
plished act Of vengeance.

Motives for Marriage.

That charming writer Of verse aud prose,
Mrs. Louise Chandler Moultou, has been
say Jag some very suggestive things
about that event OF all events, 'tbe union
Of hearts and uuion Of hands. "
Marriage, il seems to me, should be
waited for, not sought. Who knows round
whnt corner his destiny may be hiding
at what unexpected turn he may come
upon the face of all faces for him? To
put aside, as far rs possible, the thought
OF marriage until compelled to think Of il
by some strong and special attraction
toward some special person is wiser than
to be seeking in chance acquaintance the
possible husband and wife. we shall
meet the people who are coming to meet
u.s., no matter in what far of land their
journey toward us begins.
Perhaps parents are more to blame for
worldly marriages than we are apt to think
How copsta1ly we hear the term, married
well" not to character or congeniality or
true fitness, but to comfortable income.
And yet there is something TO be said for
the stern parent Of the novels, with his
hard facts. This old adage, that when
poverty comes in at the door love flies out
OF the window, is true only OF small and
poor natures-natures incapable OF great
love; but it is nevertheless true, that to be
loved it is necessary to be lovely, and that
il is more difficult to be lovely when we
are bard pressed by want and rendered
fretful by care and overwork. Human
creatures cannot build their nests as inex-
pensively as the birds do, and not even the
scant hospitality OF homestead caves or Or
chard bonghs await their fedgelings. To
marry for money, or for any object what
ever save aud except immortal and all
love, is to perjure and debase the
human heart; but to marry without some
provision for the future, such as money or
moneys worth in well furnished mind
and capacity for skilled labor, is to defy
common sense aud invoke the evil fates
