IN SCHOOLED AYS.
BY JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.
Still sits the school-house by the road,
A ragged beggar sunning;
Around it still the sumachs grow,
And blackberry vines are running.
Within, the master’s desk is seen,
Deep scarred by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jack-knife’s carved initial;
The charcoal ft cscoes on its wall;
Its door’s worn sill, betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school,
Went storming out to playing!
Long years ago a winter eun
Shone over it at setting;
Lit up its western window panes,
And low eaves’ icy fretting.
It touched the tangled golden curls,
And brown eyes full of grieving,
Of one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving,
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled;
His cap pulled low upon a face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left, he lingered;—
As restlessly her tiny hands
The blue-checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hand’s light caressing,
And heard the tremble of her voice,
As if a fault confessing.
“I’m sorry that I spelt the word;
I hate to go above you,
Because,”—the brown eves lower fell,—
“Because, you see, I love you!”
Still memory to a gray-haired man
That sweet child-face is showing.
Dear girl! the grasses on he r grave
Have forty years been growing!
He lives to learn, in life’s hard school,
How few w ho pass above him
Lameut their triumph and his loss,
Like her,—because they love him.
HOW MONKEYS ARE CAl'UHT.
From tlie chapter on Menageries, in
Olive Logan’s readable volume, “Before
the Foot-lights and Behind the Scenes,”
we make the following extract:
Monkeys are such cunning creatures,
that one would suppose them much more
difficult to catch than other wild animals,
l'itfalls will take a lion, and the famished
monarch ot the forest will, after a few
days’ starvation, dart into a cage contain
ing food, and tints be secured. But how
are monkeys caught? The ape family re
semble man. Their vices are human.
They love liquor and tall. In Danlour
and Scunaar the natives make fermented
beer, of which the monkeys are passion
ately fond. Aware of this” the natives go
to the parts of the forests frequented by
the monkeys, and set on the ground cal
abashes full of the enticing liquor. As
soon as a monkey sees ana tastes it, he
utters loud cries of joy, that soon attract
his comrades. Then an orgie begins, and
in a short time the beasts show all degrees
of intoxication. Then the negroes appear.
The drinkers are too far gone to distrust
them, but apparently take them for larger
species of their own genius. The negroes
take some up, and these immediately be- j
gin to weep and cover them with maudlin
kisses. When a negro takes one by the \
hand to lead him off, the nearest monkey !
willcling to the one who thus tiuds a sup
port, and endeavor to go off also. Anoth
er will grasp at him, and so on, till the ne- j
gro leads a staggering line of ten or a,
dozen tipsy monkeys. When finally i
brought to the village they are securely |
caged, and gradually sober down; but
for two or three days, a gradually dimin
ishing supply of liquor is given them, so
as to reconcile them by degrees to their
state of captivity.

The Messrs. Harper & Brothers have added
another volume to their popular Library of

by the author of several well-known and
much-read novels, in which the talent of the
writer to interest is placed beyond dispute.

Harper & Brothers have reproduced from
the press the “Adventures of Caleb Wil
liams,” written in 1794 by William Godwin,
an author of rare ability and much industry.
The author says in his preface to the first edi
tion that it was proposed, in the invention of
his work, “to comprehend, as far as the pro
gressive nature of a single story would allow,
a general review of the modes of domestic
and unrecorded despotism bv which man be
comes the destroyer of man.” The volume
is one of exciting interest. Price 37 cents.
For sale by Clapp & North.
Hoyt, Breed & Fogg publish a book for the
boys entitled “IIow Bennie Did It.” Beside
being an interesting work the design of this

business character formed, is that of truth,
honesty and Christian principle.

Those who are fond of ancient, classic lore
will greet with pleasure a new volume from
Harper & Brothers, containing in the Latin
three plays selected from the writings of
Plautus, viz: Captivi, Trinummus, and
Rudens. There are critical and explanatory
English notes and numerous illustrations. Of
the many plays which Plautus wrote these are
considered his best. He wrote, as is well
known, about two hundred years before the
birth of Christ, and, though poor, became a
writer of great national popularity.
For sale by Clapp & North.
