BIESS THE BABY! The reader may be curious to know at what period the event 1 am about to relate occurred : Reasons of delicacy, however, prevent me from gratifying even so reasonable a desire; and I will only say that the harrowing circumstance took , place in the Summer of a certain year, between the time of the arrival of the first bear at the Zoological Gardens in London and the present day. I had been a midshipman on board the wellknown ship named after his Majesty King William the fourth; but, receiving letters from home annouucing my father's death, I had just returned to take possession as well as a minor could, of the family estate. I was not very well acquainted with the world except the liquid part of it having been brought up in a country town and shipped in boyhood; but to make up for that I had an excellent opinion of myself, and watched both with pride and anxiety the sprouting of what I conceived to be a promising moustache. One evening after getting myself into full tog, I was displaying my horsemanship near the Zoological Gardens when I saw. in the path leading to the entrance one of the lovliest women that ever appeared to an ex-reefer. What was that to me? I do not know. It was a thing completely settled in my mind that I was a full-grown . man and that a full-grown man has a right to look at any woman. In short I dismounted, gave my horse to the groom, and followed my divinity. A little girl was behind her, walking with the nursemaid, who had another child, an infant, in her arms; and to my great satisfaction liis careless servant put the baby presently into the arms of the older girl not much bigger than itself. I watched the proceeding, saw jhe little creature whose wait was but a totter at the best, swaying to and fro, under her burden, and the baby's long clothes trailing the ground. "Madam," said I to the lady touching my hat in quarter-deck, "that baby, I fear, is in dau-. gerous hands: you are perhaps not aware of it?" She turned round instantly. It was what I wanted; but the flash I received from her beautiful eyes had a world of haulinessin it; and although she bent her head slightly and said "Sir, I thank you," I did not dare to continue the conversation, but walked rapidly on. In fact it was obvious,, the woman thought I had taken an unwarrantable liberty in criticising the arrangements of her walk; and as when turning away I caught a smile at my discomfiture on the face of the nursemaid, who snatched the baby roughly away, indignation mingled with my awkwardness. Who was this lady? Was she tlie mother of the two children? Was she the governess? Was she a relation? Was she single or married? She was single; she was the mother's sister ? I decided upon that. And after all, was her haughty look so very reprehensible? . Had she not been': addressed by a stranger, and the stranger a man a man of some-what distingue figure and most promising moustaches? I relented,' and' as I saw her enter the gardens my heart gave a great leap; for I considered it uncommonly likely that a lion would break loose, or something or other occur to draw forth my chivalry and extort her gratitude. I was not in error ia my anticipations; although the circumstances that did occur was too wild for an imagination like mine. Had it come suddenly, I almost think I should have shut my eyes, held my breath, and stood still; but as it was, I had no time to reflect; the uppermost idea in my mind was, that I would do something heroic, something desperate; and when opportunity offered I instantaneously did it. The party, with many others, were looking over the inclosure at the bear on his pole; and in order that all might see, the nursemaid had the little girl in her arms, while the little girl had the baby in hers. This arrangement was not very reprehensible as a momentary freak; for the maid of course had got hold of both the children the elder of whom was jumping with glee; and my attention therefore was exclusively directed to the lady, who stood absorbed in the spectacle before me; All on a sudden there was a scream from the little girl; the unfortunate baby was over the inclosure, and lying senseless on its face in the arena, and the gigantic bear was hastily , descending the pole to secure his prey. To climb the inclosure and spring into the arena did not lake me many moments but took me too many. I was at a little distance from the spot, and before I reached it, the bear had caught up the infant, whose little face was buried in its fur; and, on my approach, made for the pole, and began to ascend with great rapidity. 1 followed without giving myself time for a moment's reflection, and while I climbed caught hold of" the long-clothes of the baby. The action was well-intended, but the consequences were dreadful perhaps fatal: for the bear loosed his hold, and the poor little thing fell to the ground. 'I began mechanically to descend; but did not dare to look at what was in all human probabilit3r a corpse. And presently I could not look; for the exigencies of my own position demanded my every thought. The bear above was descending with huge strides and angry growls, and another below a great black monster, of whose presence in the inclosure I had not been aware was chambling along to the support of his comrade, and had almost reached the pole. The fix was terrible, but lasted only an instant: for the keeper now made his appearance, and with a few hearty wallops sent the black bear to the right about, while my pursuer stopped short with a terrible growl. "What are you doing there?" cried the keeper, as I staggered upon the ground. "I must give you up to the police for a lunatic!" "Never mind me," said I faintly; "look to the child, for I dare not." "The child! what child?" "Are you blind? There!" and ! forced my eyes upon the hideous spectacle. The creature's head was off! It was wax! I hardly know how I got over the inclosure. A sound of laughter was in my brain, as if I was made of ears, and every ear was ringing its loudest. The nursemaid enjoyed the adventure more than any body, but the little girl in her arms clutched at me furiously, as if charging me with the murder of her doll: and wasnot passified till the fragments of that sickening baby were handed to her over my shoulder. I darted away; and it was high time to go top, for all the company in the Gardens were rushing to the spot: The fair cause of the mischief was standina: a

little way off leaning on the arm of a tall noblelooking man with moustaches ten times as big as mine. She seemed choking between recent alarm and present mirth; and as I passed, "Sir," said she, with swelling cheeks and unsteady voice, "my husband wishes to thank you for our little girl's doll!" But I was off like a shot without ever waiting to touch my hat; and thankful 1 was to get out of the gate; for many of the spectators, on seeing me run, followed mechanically. It would be vain to attempt to describe my reflections as I sped rapidly along. But in the midst of all I knew what was before me I had an intense consciousness of what was to be done. My resolve was fixed, and I felt an insane joy at the idea that no possible intervention could prevent me from executing it. As soon as I reached home I went straitway to my own room, locked and bolted myself in, sat deliberately down before the glass, drew forth my razor, and shaved off my moustaches. Albion. Pennywise and Poundwise. There is a Farm

er Pennywise with whom I am acquainted, who will occasionally raise a good heifer, steer, or colt for his neighbors who keep good breeds, and he is by accident occasionally benefitted thereby When he has such an animal as that in his flock, he is apparently uneasy until it is disposed of; and after sellinji such an animal, a heiter tor in stance, you may hear something like the followlii!;: , "Wvll, my dear, I have sold the big heifer for fifieen dollars; is not that a good price for a heifer of her age?" "Good price, indeed!" his wife would reply; "you had better have sold two of them cathammed, croocked legged, scrawly things that you always keep for cows. The reason that our cattle always look so bad, and that we sell so little butter and chese, is that you always sell the best heifers. . Poor woman! I pity her. Her pride and am-: bition are injured, her children and self in rags, because her native industry and economy are cramped by foolish and nigardly policy of her husband. The picture is reversed in the Farmer Poundwise who always keeps the best animals until full grown; then, selecting his best breeders for his own use, he sells the rest. Jf lie is a good young horse, he will make a fine team horse; if a mare, she will make a fine breed mare. "And what will you do with that?" says his neighbor, poiting to an ordinary animal. "Between you and I," said he, "I shall sell that colt the first chance. Such an animal spoils the looks of the rest, and will not pay for his keeping. Thus he will sell his poor steers, heifers, sheep and pigs, at the first offer. If not sold, he would fatten those that would pay the expense of fatenning! Are there any cattle, sheep or hogs, that will not pay the expense of fattening? Reader take some of each of the real Pharaoh breed feed them until fat; keep an exact account of the expenses, and you can answer this question yourself. In this way farmer Poundwise always has valuable stock; his steers are ready sale, and command a good price: his horses are the best in the neighborhood, and the first to be looked at by purchasers: So with all the animals he raises. Pennywise, on the contrary, is thronged with all ill-shaped, worthless stock, that none will buy or pay the expenses of raising; which are continually eating out his substance, and making no return. Thus Pennywise drags on a miserable life in the road to ruin, while Poundwise moves easily and happily along the road to wealth. The Birds. Gentle Hints for the Season -When a lad a small and light gun was given me. For several days I gloated over it with delight. One evening 1 went alone with it into the fields, a very small and pretty bird, a blue cap, was hopping and twittering on a bush in all the innocence and sportiveness of paradisaical life. I drew near, I believe within five or six feet, admiring the beauty of its form and dress, its sprightliness, and the apparent confidence with which it turned its little eyes upon me. I was conscious it would be wrong wantonly or for the purpose of testing my skill to slay; yet I fired. Picking up the lacerated and expiring victim, I felt very much like a murderer. I had taken away life without a murderer's motive. ' It's bleeding image haunted me for several days, and also that of its mate, which flew, alarmed, from an adjoining bramble. Simply as a piece of mechanism, of which the combined efforts of the most ingenious of men through all time can never produce the like so wonderful in contrivance, construction, and movements thus, ruthlessly and without cause, to destroy it was an offence against heaven, an insult to the Divine Artificer. But as an organism sensitive to pleasure and pain, possessing affections, and moreover not only harmless, but belong to tribes whose habits and instincts lead them to protect the crops of husbandmen from the ravage of insects an active benefactor to our species, and one of the most charming ornaments of our planet to draw near, assassin-like and baibarously terminate its useful labors and its happiness, was purely wicked. What good did its death bring me? Its disfigured body was of no use, and would soon be come putrid and loathsome. While delighting it self in the effulgence of Eden I had done what it is doubtful if any demon would deliberately do destroyed it by a blast of what has been likened to "the fire of hell." I never shot an other bird. I wish those lads who are daily roving through fields and highways, brinrin; down everything their guns can reach, would pause and reflect.and cease to kill little birds for mere pleasure of killing tnem, otten throwing them away as soon as shot and sometimes not even picking them up. Let young sportsmen learn to subdue their animal by their rational instincts, and not commit, from im pulse or for a fugitive gratification, acts which cannot be dwelt on in alter me with satisfaction, if without pain. I would respectfully suggest to ministers of our churches an occasional Sabbath or week daylecture on our relationship to the lower tribes. They who love God love his works. Many wise and good men have, taught that animals will live again and be rewarded for their sufferings here. Whether this be so or not, there is no doubt that we shall have to account for our ill treatment of them. Would that we had an anneal in behalf of ....... . ii little buds in a dozen tracts by as many reverend authors. A more appropriate and sweetly influential subject could not be well taken up. The pretty visiters would return to our yards and gardens and clear buds and blossoms of weevils. Xatio7ial Intelligencer. What is a Levee? The word is derived from the Court of France, at which it was the duty of certain noblemen to attend the King at his getting up, and hand him his clothes one presenting his stockings, another his shirt, &c. The name levee was given to these assemblages, from the verb lever, to get up. In the evening they attended to assist him to undress. These gath erings were called couchee, from eoucher, to go to bed.

When writing to a publisher omit your

name; let him "guess" who you are from your "handwriting, , (Jaretully avoid placing the name of your post office, county, or State upon your letter, lest, by so doing, you should betray your whereabouts. When about to change your residence, and wish the direction of your paper changed, instruct the publisher as follows: Sir, hereafter send my paper to , and much oblige yours etc. . Dont let him know your former ad dress. He may hunt that out from among a hundred thousand others. No matter if it occupies a week--he may have nothing else to do. When you write a "mend, requesting "an answer by return mail," leave him to prepay the postage on the answer, as you deserve some compensation for the pleasure you afford to him. Avoid carrying small change, you might spend it. The Postmaster will be quite delghted with the privilege of trusting you, he would not be so mean as to "charge" three cents. inWhen calling for a letter at the post office, always ask "Anything for me?" Don't give your name; and when informed "No,," don't believe it, but put yourself into an agony of surprise and wonder, and ask the Postmaster when he "expects one" for you. Should he ask you from whom you are looking for a communication, tell him, "from the West." Ho will then understand. ,..-,...! When you request letters directed "to the care" of some friend whom you are about to visit, ask him to send his boy to the post office several times a day to "inquire." He will deem it a privilege to wait upon you. Dutchman ' 53PProfessor Davies, the eminent mathematician, in conversation with a young friend of his upon the importance of system in studying as well as in everything else, took a piece of paper and wrote off for him the following important rules: 1.
