ALICE
GRAT,  OE  A   WOEKIHG GIEI'S  STOEY.
I can remember the timo when work wa3 a ilull, meaningless word to me; when fond, doling parents sun'ouniled me with every luxury passible to con¬ ceive, for my father was considered a wealthy man, and tho magnificent house and grounds, costly carriages and numerous servants, certainly betoken tlio assertion " what a careless happy life I led," till suddenly my p.irents were both stricken down by a violent epidemic, and I was left au orphan at tlio age of seventeen. I shudder, even iimv, as memory recalls that desolate period, aud the bitter feelings that surged over me, when the full conscious¬ ness of my bereavement Jforced itself upon me.
My father's only brother was sum¬ moned from New York, and to his care and love my father hadfonsigned me. I caunot say I fiuicied my uncle. He was a stern, silent man, very unlike suy father, but there was a look of sad- jiess upon his face that won my pity, and I tried to liko him for my father's sake.
Afler the funeral, my uncle, by investigation, found that wo had been living far beyond our means, and that in cousequence wo were seriously In¬ volved in debt. This was an unex- jiected calamity to me, aud it Is no won¬ der my face blanched with sudden fear, 04 I listened to my uncle, for the knowledge of my wealth made the lluiught of living iu my uncle's family liearable. One thing I resolved upon; I would not be dependent upon my uncle's bounty, either for my support, <ir the payment of our debts. Every <'ent I determined to pay as soon as I could honorably earn it. The house iiud everything of any value, was sold, iiiul after difilributiug tbe iiroceeds among tho creditors, we departed for Kew York.
My unclellved on Aveuue, in a
jnagnificent house, elegantly furnished with everything art could devise, or wealth procure, and yet there was a chilling, inhospitable look about every¬ thing that pertained to it.
My aunt met us in the hall, as we en¬ tered, and after saluting my uncle, greeted me with a few polite words of welcome, whicii quite put to flight the jiietty, little speech I had prepared to make ou the occasion, and brought the hot tears of disappointment to my eyes, Imt forcing them proudly back, I turn- iid to meet my cousin Mabel. I had lieard ray mother ofteu speak of her licauty, but I wag wholly unprepared lor the vision of loveliness before me, aud stood gazing like one spell-bound. No peu can describe the deep violet eyes, tho softly-tinted cheeks, or the long, golden liair, that fell in countless curls over the white shoulders. She was of medium height, and could not liave been more than eigliteen, and might have passed for much younger. If anything, she met me less cordially than her mother, merely remarking tbat I looked tired, and had better be shown to my room.
My aunt rang the bell, aud when the servant appeared, I was conducted to a small but pleasant apartment, on the third floor. When I was alone I gave vent to my feelings, and wept long and bitterly, till remembering I must soon appear at dinner, I tried to bathe away all traces of my tears, but it was of no use; my eyes were red and swollen, making my face, which waa never pretty, look absolutely ugly. The mir¬ ror reflected a pale but clear complex¬ ion, a well-formed head, covered with bauds of black, glossy hair, and large, deep-grey eyes, an ordinary looking girl, certainly.
The dinner bell interrupted my criti¬ cism, and hurriedly finishing my toilet, I descended to the dining-room, where the family were already assembled, with a young gentleman, who was in¬ troduced to me as Dr. ClitTord. I liked him at once, thero was something so kind ana genial about him. He was a handsome man, too—tall and well pro¬ portioned, with an abundance of brown, wavy hair, which clustered about a broad, white forehead. The eyes, to i, were brown and expressive, while the mouth was a singular combination of gentleness and power. He was free and easy in his manners, addressine ills remarks first to one and then auother, till even my aunt's proud face relaxed, and a smile hovered about the lipa, as if iu fear of being detected. The evening pa<5sed pleasantly, and af¬ ter his departure I introduced tho sub¬ ject of self-support. At flrst my uncle opposed it, but Mrs. Gray so warmly favored it, he promised to consider it, and give me his opinion in a few days, lliit I w.is not idle. I looked among the ailvertisenients in the daily papers every morning, but not flnding any¬ thing that reached my case, I deter¬ mined to visit several publishing houses and see if I could uot procure some coiiying to do. So accordingly, one day, I started with confldent hopes of a situation before night, and in imagination I saw the heavy debt paid with my earnings. Tho first idace on my list I entered, with not a little trepidation, and made known my errand. Very kiudly my request was listened to, and just as kindly I was informed that they'had no need of my services. I tried place Ko. 2 with no lietter success, and, in fact, none of them gave me any better encourage¬ ment, than if they wanted my service they would let me know. As I was leaving the last place tho editor gave
me the address of a gentleman on	
ytreet, who frequently employed copy¬ ists. I followed the direction, and was , soon in the presence of an elderly gen¬ tleman, who, when I told him what I wanted, suggested that I sbouid learn phonography, adding that if I would learn it, he would give me a situation as soon as I was competent to fill it.
He recommended a teacher, whom I engaged on my way home.
I shall never forget the flrst lesson; the alphabet and outlines, curves and hooks, looked like Greek to me, aud I believe I should hava given up but for the fear of the ridicule, whioh I knew would be showered upon me at home so with this stimulative I persevered, and at the end of a year X was able to re¬ port.    I presented myself before the gentleman who had oflered me the sit¬ uation, and my labors began at once. I received larger wages than I expected, ;• and carefully hoarded ever every cent j; with only one thonght of ambition—to J: free my father's name from dishonor. :*    A year had passed away.   Dr. CUf- I ford calledfrequently to see ns, making I' tbe sombre old house bright with bis |j presence.   He always treated me with |; a great deal of attention, and when w
were alone there was a tender deference In bis manner towardB me, that I could not account for." t'liad neyer tried to (lefihe^iiiiy feeiipgs.towaidshim., XijfBS siifflclent for me to know be was my friend,' and'that Ih; any trouble that might befcU me.'I'h'ad one who would support and coiipfort me.';'
It may be imagined tliat but for Dr. ClIlTord my sojonrn there would have been anything but pleasant. My uncle and aunt.rarely spoke to me; Mabel never, unless to ridiculo or censure. So the days passed on. My salary had been increased, I had economized so closely, that already I had discharged a portion of the debt; but such close application was fast breaking down my constitu¬ tion, and thougb I blinded my eyes to the fact, it still remained a tormenting reality. At the close of a week of ex¬ cessive labor, I was suddenly taken ill with typhoid fever. Dr. Clifford was immediately sent for, but when he ar¬ rived I was unconscious. I did not see the anxious face that bent over me, or hear the soft, endearing words he ut¬ tered. I should have been a happier woman if I liad.
:ror many weeks my life was de¬ spaired of, but with constant and skill¬ ful attention, I was soon pronounced out of danger, and thiugs glided back tp their old routine, with oneexception. Dr. ClIfTord no longer treated me with tlie shy deference that had so long marked his conduct. Love showed itself in every slight caress, and linger¬ ed in every look and word, and though he had never spoken of it, or asked me to be his wife, I read "Ihesong without words," and its glad music filled my heart with joy and happiness, making my life, which had been so long dull and cheerless, blossom with strange beauty and fragrance.
" Mabel, I want to tell you something; may I ?"
I think Harvey Clifford regretted the question, or, at least, tho manner in which it was worded, the next miuute, when he saw the flush of pleasure, and the bright, expectant look upon the fair face of Mabel Gray.
"Certainly, Harvey. I am always bappy to listen to you," and the soft, musical voice was tremulous with emo¬ tion, and the white lids veiled the drooping eyes as she answered him.
" Well, Mabel, I have learned to lovo this little cousin of yours, or rather, I have loved her since the first time I saw her, and I want you to tell me if the field is clear, or if some happy man has already won the prize I covet."
This was said with an assumed play¬ fulness, but there was a lurking earnest¬ ness iu the voice, aud Harvey ClIHbrd waited anxiously for the answer.
" I cannot tell you Harvey ; we are not intimate enough for me to know, but even if there were no such impedi¬ ment to your wooing, I should be sorry to see you betrothed to such a woman." "What do you mean, Mabel?" and in his eagerness he took her hand, and almost crushed tho whole jeweled fingers. For a moment Mabel hesitated, for artful as she was, sho waa not whol¬ ly lost to honesty, and thero was some¬ thing in a bold, deliberate falsehood she shrank from. But against her scheming policy and crafty reason, she had given her heart, unsought, iuto this man's keeping, and, night and day, plotted bow to win; and was this to be the end of her labor? She knew his great regard for integrity and truth, and the temptation was too great.
" I would not tell you, Harvey, did I not think it my duty. Alice means to do right, I dare s.iy, but she is not truthful, and though we have expostu¬ lated with her, time and.tgain, it seems to do no good; and Mamma has antii- ally forbidden me to have any inter¬ course with her," and her eyes met his without wavering.
Harvey Clifford was very pale when she had finished speaking, nnd for a momeut Mabel regretted what she had done.
"God only knows the disappoint¬ ment and anguish your words have caused me, Mabel, for if there is one thing I revere more than another, it is a truth-loving woman. Ah! Alice, Alice Gray, how could you so deceive me!" and the strong man wept like a child.
"Is there no woman you can trust, Harvey!"
And the voice at that moment had a powerful fascination in it. Harvey Clifford felt its power, and looking at the fair girl beside htm, be thought how proud any man might be of her as his wife.
"I would have trusted Alice Gray before any other woman. What proof have I that my judgment might not err again."
"Aud yet Harvey,because of her false¬ ness you would not condemn all?" And the tears gathered ,in her violet eyes, adding new beauty and tender¬ ness to tbe face of the speaker.
It was a dangerous moment for Har¬ vey Clifford—one be could not resist, and when be left the houso, an hour latter, he was tbe betrothed husband of this woman, wbo, for bis sake, bad perjured her soul.
June was already upon us before the family had made any definite arrange¬ meuts for their summer trip. I had re¬ gained my usual health, and had resum- ed my work. My uncle and aunt had invited mo to accompany them on their route, whicii had been decided to be Saratoga, Newport, and the White Mountains. My heart quickened at the very possibility of such a pleasure, but putting the temptation far from me, I attended more closely than ever to my duties.
I had not met Dr. Clifford but once siuce my recovery, and thecold indin'er- ence with which he greeted mo, seem¬ ed to crush my very soul. I uoticed his attention to Mabel, but I was not aware of thoir engagement till the evening beforo their departure for Sara¬ toga. I was sitting in my ropm, won¬ dering what had produced the change in Dr. Clifford, when Mabel entered softly, and drawing a chair up closo to mine, said, gaily.
" I am comefor your congratulations, Alice. I am engaged for marriage, to Harvey Clifford," holding up ber fore¬ finger, upon which rested a diamond ring, wbicb glowed nnd sparkled In tho twilight with wondrous brilliancy. I listened like one In a trance. My heart seemed to stand still, and my tongue Irefiised to move. She noticed my silence, and added :
" I presume you are surprised, and I must confess I was a little myself. I had thought, all along, that be ifancied you." And through the gathering darkness her eyes gleamed triumphant¬ ly, aud a malicious laugh rang out upon tho air.
It grated harshly upon my car, and for a moment I hated the girl who bad supplanted me in Harvey Clifford's af¬ fection, and I said, bitterly:
"Your observation must be remark- obly keen to detect^nch a slight defer¬ ence. Wbotever Dr. Clifford may' have been to me, he is nothing now, and you have my hearty wishes for yonr happi¬ ness."
"I accept tbem with diie appreciation of their sincerity.'*    And careles^y
humming an opera air, she departed, living, mewith my misery ^nd pound¬ ed .io\,ei. which,:, alas! I' could' "not conquer.
'The next morning | they started,: r was to retain' the servants,, and have charge of the house until .their return in October. I went as usualto my work, for the servants were trusty, and I was not afraid to leave them.
August came with its sultry heat. I had not heard from the family for some time, and was woudeiriiig at their sileucej for my uncle wrote me every week—kind, affectionate letters they wero, too, which gave me a greater in¬ sight into bis character than I ever had before.
One evening, as I waa sitting in the parlor, reading, the bell rang violently, and a servant soou entered with a tele¬ gram addressed to me. A sense of coming evil oppressed me, and my hand shook so I could scarcely read it. Mabel Gray was lying ill at Newport,, very ill, andilmust come to her im¬ mediately. I weut at once, and founa her much worse than I feared—indeed, the physician had already given hej up. It was a singular coincidence, tbat it. was the same fever which I nearly died with tbe year before, and the same ph j'slclan attending ber. She knew me at once as I entered, and grasping my band, said, eagerly,
"I.knew you would come to me, Alice. The doctors say I may not iive, and I counot die without making a confession to you—you and Harvey," and following tlio direction of her eyes, I perceived Er.'Clifford. The others silently left the room, and then aud thera I learned the cruel wrong.which I had suffered, aud for a moment I think it was like the bitterness or death to forgive it.
"Let mo remedy tho evil I bavo caused," aud joining my hand in bis, she added, "I want to hear you both say you forgive me."
I could not resist that pleading look, aud forgetting my resentment, I said, solemnly,
" As I trust my sins will be forgiven, and remembered no more, so now in like manner do I forgive you, Mabel Gray."
" May God, in His great mercy, for¬ give mo aa fully and freely as I now do you, Mabel," said Harvey Clifford, earnestly, aud at a signal from Iilabel, we left the room.
The days brought but little change to the invalid for some time, but sud¬ deuly, ond to the surprise of all, she rallied, and soon regained a tolerable degree of health. She was a different woman after her recovery^. Ko ono could be more gentle or lovable than she, and when I heard a minister had wooed and wou her, I was notsurprised.
And so, reader, I bring you to the closo of this narrative. Dr. Clifford finished tlie confession Mabel began, and without any hesitancy I accepted bim, aud we were to be married in Oc¬ tober. TIio rich harvest-mouth soon smiled .serenely upon us, aud standiug there, in the solemn hush of receding day, wo spoke our marriage vows, and took up tho old song which has been chanted and sung through so mauy generations of God's people.
My uncle was remarkably joyous on the occasion, and my cheeks burned as he related, and magnified, I think, my sacrifices and peraevcrauces iu dis¬ charging the debt, (which, by closer investigation, was fouud to bo much smaller than we at firstsupposed), which had so clouded my father's name. It was an unexpected tribute from my uncle, aud as I listened, I think it was sullicient reward for all I had under¬ gone iu the dark, troubled days, which, like a bad dream, wero remembered with thankfulness that they were no longer present.
A STOEY FOE THE LITTLE FOLKS.
SOMETHIXG ABOUT MONKEYS. A few evenings ago my nephew, Tom, was In my room seated on an old sex¬ tant-box and gazing at the bright fire burning in tlie old Franklin.   Ho bad been perfectly quiet for a long time, something   unusual   for   Tom, whilo I had beeu making a man-rope  knot in each end of ills sleigh-rope.   Having flnished my bit of " sailorizing," I said, " What areyou thinkingabout, Tom?" "I was looking at tbe pictures in the fire, uncle, and wondering if you had overseen any wild monkeys? " " Well, yes, a great many." "In the woods, among the trees?" " No, I can't say I ever saw many in the woods." " Wbere then ? "
"Aboard   ship,    skylarking   about decks and in the rigging." " But they were n't wild ones! " "I'm  sure  I  thought  them   wild enough."
"Tell mo about them, will you, un. ole? " and ho settled himself for a yarn, so I spun bim this one.
" Coming homo from the last cruise in the East Indies, after working down the China Sea against head winds and calms, we entered the Strait of Sunda one bright morning, nnd hove to off Angler Point to lay in fresli provisions, as we were not going to call anywhere until we reached St. Helena, and that was a long way ahead. It wasn't long after our main top-sail was laid aback before tho ship wassurrounded by boats from Java, come to trade. These boats were laden with oranges, bananas, yams, onions, limes, clilekons, ducks, monkeys, paroquets, Java Sparrows, and other birds, the names of whicii I have forgotten if I ever knew them.— The oflScer's steward crammed the coops with ducks and chickens, strung the spars and spans between the boat's davits with nets filled witb limes, oranges, and vegetables, and hung great bunches, aa large as a man could carry, of green bananas on the mizzen stay." " Greon bananas! what did you want thoso for?"
" Wte took green fruit to sea and it ripened. We had bananas and oranges a month after leaving the strait.
•" That was a busy morning for the oflicer of the deck. Ho had a thousand tilings to look out for. Among them was to keep servants from hanging tlilngson therunningrlgglng. Iheard him roar out,'Who does that belong to ?'pointing to a net filled Willi oranges hanging to the main to'gallant bunt- lines. " ' Ward-room, sir.' "' Messenger-boy, send the ward¬ room steward here,' and when the chap arrived, perspiring from bis eflbrls to keep from being Cheated by the bum- boatmen, hla ' did you want me, sir?' was received with, 'Yes, I want to 7iang you. Don'tyou know better than to string yeur Infernal stuff on the run¬ ning gear, you lubber? Down with that net, and if I find: another one in its place I'll bang you up by the heels.' "Tbe men forward were''laying in tbeir, stuff all this while too, but as tVey bad no coops to fill with fowls tb jlr purchases consisted principally of fruit. Thelauncbhad beeu rigged up. to hold onions and yams for the crew, in the forward part, while her stern- 'aheets were converted into a pig-.pen.-r^ iSix UtUe blaok ^igs were pnt in .there, such a siinealln'g as they made when
then' .were lifted out. of the .boat and -. oyer the side by thehind legs; yras fun toj liear'J| X 'wai :btahdin'g By ;tjh^ ridl around the main-maat when Bn>wn,i chief t>b'suh% m.ate,- camie W tlie'itfflcer ofjtb^'i^ecici'aiid ask^edi ':Goiai<i 'tiie'mep bijy afow' birds' and 'todnkeiys, •; scelii' as we're homeward hpiindislr?,'!,'
"'Yes, yes, buy. any tiling yon like except a drove of jackasses, AVo'vegot lots of them aboard now.'   .,   ;.:.
" ' Yes, air,' said BrowUj wllh a sly look as ho went off forward. Soon' alter I saw him coming down the jacob'B-ladder witli a big black monkey, in bis arms, and on ciicb side of the monkey's bead was atuftofwhitehair. 'Pon my soul, I think in less than ten minutes half the mon in theshlp owned a monkey a piece. I wanted to bring a monkey home, so I caljed Brown to know If he could get me one. 'Not such a big beast as that one of yours. Brown, because the youngster I want itfor isn't as large ai that himself.' I meant you, Tom: Y'ou see, I thonght ofjyou as the little'chap you were wheii I ^ent away, forgetting you were grow¬ ing all tlie years J[ was gone. Sboii Brown returned with a brown monkey, about 08 large as a half grown kitten in^blsai'ms, and said, 'Here's one, sir, ydu can carry in a bird-cage. He's the commonest kind, but bo has hisgrbwth and looks a bright little chap. Will ydu bave bim, sir!' "' Yes ; what did you give for him ?' "'Notmuch. Only an old flannel shirt, sir.'
I took my new pet below my room, cailled a ward-room boy' and seut him with my compliments to tlie paymaster, tol ask if bis steward could give mo an einpty soap-box to make a cage for my mbukey.   Wben the box arrived we nailed slats across dheaide, pntin Tom (ail I bad named the n^oiik'eyy,.aud sent him down on the orlop deck near the paymaster's storerooms :uhtil  I  had tiiue to make bis acquaintance.   Iwent again on deck, and soon after all boats were ordered away from tho ship, the main-yard was braced up, and the ship filling away started ou her long journey toward home.   Most of the monkeys were tied fast to the launch: on  tbe boptns, and it was amusing to see their different modes of expressing fear and surprise whilo tho orders, calls from bo'sun's pipes, rattling of blocks,.and tramping of tlie crew attendant on tbe bracing of tlio yards wero going  on about thera.   My station was in  the w'aist to windward, and as I hadn't much to do I watched the monkeys.— Some tugged at the lanyards that held them fast until I thought thoy would break their  necks.    Olhers  croiiehed down, holding their bands over their ears,  and were  dttmb.   Others  again jumped up and down, chattering in a loud shrill voice, while Bro'wn's  big black rascjil gavo vcut to hia feelings by spanking every monkey he couid reach, preserving the most grave ex¬ pression   of couutenanco  duriug the performance.   We passed through the strait with a fair wind, an<l after filling away I wasn't on deck again, except for a few momenta at evening quarters, unlil four o'clock the next morning, wbeu I relloved thedeck.   .
"At daylight a person by shutting bis eyes could easily imagine himself in a barn-yard froni' the squeeling of pigs, quacking of ducks, aud crowing of cocks. I was standing on tho ladder leading from the quarter-deck to tbe poop, looking'to windward, w.lieu a young rooster ventured a crow and made a miserable failure of it. I heard the man at tbe wheel say to old Har- ringldn, a quartermaster, 'Nice song that bird's got.'
"' That's an East Ingee rooster. You don't expect him to crow Yankee the first day aboard, do yo?' "That day tlie men began making clothes for tbeir monkeys, and in a short time they were all fllted out in complete ' man-o'-wars-man's' style. They objected lo being dressed up at first, and had to he well cuffed before they would keep their clothes on after being let free. All excepting Brown's monkey, who seemed to bave made up his mind to submit to anything but having his tail pulled by the others. Before many days the meii had their monkej's trained go that wlien the crew was called to quarters, morning and evening, every monkey knew his mas¬ ter's station and went to it regularly. At Sunday morning inspection they presented an amusing spectacle,—all dressed in complete rigs just as the men were, stauiiing in line with tbe men, opposite tho guns, looking aa grave as possible until the command¬ ing and executive officers came along,' wheu up would go their arms and off would come their caps in true man-of- war style. Afler the officers had passed they wouldn't put on their caps agaiii, but dropped tbem on deck, and they could never be taught to put on a cap themselves.
" One of the messenger-boys had a ring-tailed monkey tbat used to hang itself up by the tail aud go to sleep with ils head liangiug downward. It was an affectionate lillie thing, but liad a disagreeable habit of curling its tail about Ihe neck of a person when carry¬ ing it. It became quite fond of me, and got in the habit of meeting me at the top of tho ward-room ladder when I came up from dinner. I always bad somelsugar or fruit for it, afler eating wbicli it would get on my shoulder and thank mo by putting ils tail around my neck, laying its cheek lo mine, and with oue hand rub my nose, all the time keeping up a queer cooing sound. Tbe laii folt so much liko a ropo about my ueck I was forced lo dispense with Sue's (that was its name) thanks. One dark squally night In the Indian Ocean, I had the mid-walch and was standing just abaft the mizzen rigging on the poop, absorbed iu walclilug the weather to windward, when all at. onco some¬ thing lit on my shoulder, gave a quick squeal close to my ear,and putsoniething around my neck. It was poor little Sue, who had found mo out and taken that method of showiiig ber delight. I think I was never more startled for an instant, and tbe next I was angry, so holding the poor littlo beast by the neck with oue hand I boxed her cars soundly with the otiier and let her go. She perched herself iu the stern-sheets of one of the quarter-boats and continued to cry and chatter until I was relieved and went below at four o'clock. I never could get Sue to come near me afler that. No amount of lumps of sugar would tempt ber lo let mo touch her. "Tbat Tom of mine never acknowl¬ edged me as his master. He was the only officer's monkey on board, and he became a great favorite aft. Most Of his time was spent in the executive officer's room, ivbere be amused him¬ self principally by looking in the glass at bis own'reflection. He used to sleep in a big chair in that room, an|d in the inornlngafter Mr. P—^—iiad bad his liath;Tottiwdula get In the.tub of his own accord and take hia.   After being

"terown's monkey became very much attached to tho carpehter's mate, and would sit for  bonis  watching   him at his work.   If the man had occasion to use Ills chalk-line the monkey'sde- llght was complete.   Give bim a piece oti chalk and he would wander about decks all day making >marks wherever they would' shoWi  -.This monkey's ndme'Wos Ned; and be was a very po- iitiemonkey.   No matter what he was doing. If a person  came to bim and said, 'How do you do Ned?' tie-would drop (I never saw a monkey laj/ any¬ thing down) whatever he had in bis hands, rub them on.bis back, look to see if tbey were clean, then present tbe right oue. for a shake.    It was through Ned I learned how fond monk¬ eys are of carrots.  I was going to look at¬ the littlo pigs ono morning, and had a carrot inmy hand to give them. ' Ned was perched oh the booro-C-over, and as I stopped to shake bands he took bold of the carrot.   I let bim have it, think- in" lie'would tasto it and throw it down, but he took a big iiite as tliough lie liked it.   He was about to take a sec¬ ond, one wben a big brown monkey jumped off, the hammook-netting, ran across tbe deck, leaped up on the booms and gave Ned a slap aside the bead that laid him flat.   Ned dronped the carrot, of course.   Brownie picked it up and started for the netting, but be hadn't got moro than half-way across decks before there were eight other mokeys after that carrot.   Such a fight!   They knocked each other down, pulled hair, bit, and chattered liko mad.    In the midst of the row a littlo monkey got the carrot, aud, holding it ill hia mouth, away he went aloft by the main royal backstay,   I used t<> have lots of fiin by giving a carrot to two mokeys;  one hold of each end.   They would hang on wilh one hand and cufi' wilh the other, and the monkey that poqld stand the most cuffing would get the carrot. > "Crane, captain of main-top, had a brown monkey called Bess, and Stell, a bo' siin's mate, had  a kiud of cream- colored Olio named Petii.   After much trouble these t\yo monkeys were taught to waltz together to llie music of a vio¬ lin. At first the dance invariably broke up in a flgiit betweeu Bess aud Pete, much to llio delight of tlie other mon¬ keys, who crowed ed around and enjoyed it immensely-   I liad   llie  deck  one afternoon, when  Crane came aft and said,' Will you send our respects to the captain aud ofllcers, sir, aiid ask- tbem to come on deck at foiir bells'" (six o'clock)  ' to see Pete and Bess dance?' "Well, at four bells we assembled on tho lee side of the quarter-deck, when tlio monkeys were brought aft.   Pete was dressed in a black dress coat, white vest, black pantaloous, white necktie, standing   collar,   and; stovcrplpe iiat. Bess had on a wiiite silk dress with a long train, and a bonnet with n feallier in it.   (The feather, I thinic, came out of tho captai n's parrot's tail.)   Pete was wonderfully opposed to wearing his hat; and was continually snatching it off and throwing it on deck.   Stell said it was out bf respect "tor the officers. Bess occasionally  gave   her   bonnet- strings a twitch, but with that excep¬ tion she was very ladylike.   Finally the music struck up, Stell let go of Pete's band. Crone of Bess's, and the two monkeys seizing each other around the waist waltzed off in perfect time lo the music.   Bess'handled her tail so as not to interfere with tlie  gentleman monkey's legs,  and Pete seemed   tb know it wasn't proper fo dance with his baton, so when hegotfairly under¬ way he snatched it off.   The perform¬ ance was heartly enjoyed .by all, and the captain said liis sides ached from laughing.   Be   ordered  a  lunch  of oranges ond loaf-sugar for Pete and Bess, but before they were permitted to partake of it their fine clothes were taken off,.for  fear   thoy. might   get stained.
"We arrived on the coast of America in the winter time, and beforereaching the navy, yard at; Cbarlestown we bad very severe weatber, during wbicb the iiopr monkeys were great sufferers, and many of tbem died, iittie Tom among tho number. Three or four monkeys would huddle together under an old pea-jacket or a blanket, and cry ' Ooh! ooh! ooh!' at their vain endeavors to keep warm.
" Why did u't you put them by the fire, uncle?"
"Thero is no fire on board a sailing man-of-war, Tom, except In tho range whero the cooking is doue, and that is put out always by eight bells (eight o'olock) in the evening. Of course we wouldn't havea lot of monkeys around where the copklng was going on, for they are not very neat littlo animals." "Ned, Pete, and Bess lived to go ashore with . their masters after ttie orew was paid off. I never saw Pete and Bess after tbat, but one day while going from the liavy-yard to Boston I I met Brown m a street-car, with Ned on bis lap wrapped up in a shawl. Tbey were on their way td take tbe cars for New Y'ork. I put outmy band, and said, ' How do you do, Ned ?' He looked at me for a moment, then gave mo bis hand rather reluctantly and cried,   ' bob 1 oob! ooh!' "
Tom looked at the fire for a few mo¬ ments, then said, " I wlsii that monkey, Tom, had live<l to get here, I would liave kept him by the stovo till warm weather, then he'd have been allrigbt'' —Our Young Folksi

In callln;^ public attcntiim to ibis, littlo niaclilno, a few of lho invaluable i]u'nU[lts, (not poscssed hy any other washing luuchlno yet luveiited,) are hero ennmerated.
It is the sniallcsi, must compiict, most por¬ table, most simple In coiiKtruellon, most easily opcraU'd. A child teuyears oIil, with :i few liours' praclieo. can Ihoroughlycunipro- licud and cHectually use It. Thero is ho ad¬ justing, no screws tuantioy.nodelAy In adapt¬ ing! It is always reiuly for xmo li Xl- >s u perfect wouder I It Is a mlnlalnro Kl'iut, doln^ moru work and ofabelterquaUty, tban the most daborato aad costly. Une-half of the labor is fully saved by Ua use, and lhu cloUis will Lost one-half lunucr ihau bv tho' old plan of tbo rub board. Itwill ^iish the lurKest blanket. ThreushlrtRatn tlnit>i'wash¬ ing thoroughly I In a word, lhu abluUnn <if any fabric, Irom .a Quilt to a Laco Curtain or Cambric Handkerchief, aro eunally wltbiit the ej»pacity of tbis Lirri..E OliM • it can Ik' fastened to any tuli aud taken oir nt'tC'iU.

We havo tostlmonlala without end, selling forlh its nuinerousadvnniages overall uthors, and from liundreds who have thrown aside tho unwieldy, useless machines, which havo signally failed lonceompUsh tbcobjcctprom- ised in prominent nnd loud sounding adver¬ tisements.
It is a.s perfect for washing as a wringer Is lor wringing. The prii-e. auother paramount liiducunient to purc:hasers, tia-i beuu placed so low that it Is wltilin the reach of every house¬ keeper and tiiere is uo article of doinesllr economy Hint wiil repay tbe small invoal- ment so soon. . ¦
