Naturalists will tell you, if you ask them, that I am mistaken ; that I mean well enuff, and don't moan to deceive ennybody, but the monkey is not a hu? man being; he is simply a pun on hu? manity, a kind ov malishus joke ov Ju? piter's, a libel, with a long tail tew it, a misterious mixtur of ludicrous mischief and stale humor, a kind ov pacing hob byhoss. or connekting gang-plank be? tween man in biz dignity nud thc beast in biz darkness. I hav a hi opinyuu of the naturalist and all kinds ov tho dictionary fraterni? ty, and tuch mi hat to them when we meet, and I respect them for what tha know, but don't worship them for what tha don't know, as the heathens do thara wooden goode. I don't kare what the philosophers say tha kan prove in this matter, I tell you confidecshally, my Christian friend, you and the monkey are relashnus. X don't pretend tow say that you arc brothers and sisters, but I do pretend tew state that monkeys, or cn ny othei kind ov critters, who exercise roason, even if the light ov it iz nz dim nz n number six dip caudle in the rays ov thc noonday SUD, are our relashnus, for a certain amount. The only fence between tho animal and brute folks iz instinkt and reason, and if tho muralist kant prove that the monkey don't show a single glimmering of reason, I say ho must step oph from the monkey's tail, and lot him eat at thc fust table. The monkey iz imitative tew the high esl degree, and imitushun iz a direk! transgreshun ov the law ov iustiukt, anc iz'fallow ground within the domain o^ reason. Instinkt don't step one single ster aside tew smell ov a flower or pull a cat'i tail. Bat argument ain't mi fighting weight I git along the best by asserting thing: az they strike me, and I say upwnrds oi 4,000 things every year that I kau' prove onny more than I kan prove wha melody iz. The naturalists may hav their owi way, but they kant hav mine; what lit t li i know about things haz been whisperec tew me by the spirits ov some othe romping critters, and iz az distinkt anc butiful, sometimes tew me nz a drean on an empty stummak, it may be al wroDg but it never iz vicious, aud thus konklude it iz ed?kaskun. Now i don't advino ennybody else te\ depend for. their learning upon sich prc karious school-masters, tho best way i tew follow the ruts, it will take you te\ town just az it did yare daddy. The route that i travel iz cirkuitus nm blind sometimes, it has now nud then vista, or a landscapo in it, that iz worth tow me, more than a farm ov tillabl land, but you kant raise good white bean on o- landscape. Whenever i drop mi subject, and beg! tew strut in tho subourbs of scntimei tility and proverbial pomposity, i alwu think ov a gobble turkey, in a bari yard, on dress parade, cud that iz j h what i am thinking ov now, and then fore i will dismount from the turkey au get aboard the monkey, (the monkey r he am,) once more. Pure deviltry iz the monkey's rigl bower; he iz only valuable (as person: property) tew look at, and wonder win he iz goiog tew do next. He iz a jack at all trades; put him i a barber ship, ho will lather, and try te shave himself, and color his mustasl put him in a dri goods store, and 1 will handle more goods than the best r tail clerk in A. T. Stewart's employ. The monkey haz not got a logik head; it iz tew much like a pin-hen all in a heap to oust, but his face iz concentrated dew drop and malishu mischief. He resembles the rat-terrier in cou tenanco and scratches biz head nz n taral nz a district skool boy, aud u doubtedly for the same reason. Monkeys never grow euny older expreshun, a yung monkey looks j like hiz grandpapa, melted up and bo again. They are sometimes kept as pets, b I should rather watch two adopted c pb an boys fresh from tho Home of t Friendless, than two monkeys. They will eat every thing that a m will, except bolony sausage, here th show more instinct than reason. But after all, tho the monkey sho ovident signs ov reason, they uro a: means practical grace, the most usel kritters i hav ever pondereel over a scratched my bed about. They won't work, and they won't ph unless they can raizo sum devil, they i too mutch like a human being in loc and actions to kill off, it iz imposai! tew gaze at ono and git mad at him, a it iz impossiblo lew luff ut their smi ing satanity, without getting mad yourself. If ennybody should make me a p sent ov a monkey i don't know now w thor I should konsider it intended malice, or a joke, but i do know tin should send him back bi tho samo \ son that fetched him, tow the don markod in loud italics-C. O. D. In konklusion: thara izonly ono th that i have a grate supply ov do about, in referenco tow tho monkey, i that is his moral stamina, while in gardon ov Eden, with the rest of critters, previous to tho timo that Ac' fell-was he strictly on tho square, was he just as full ov the devil as li now? Au auswor to the above konundrnc earnestly^ solicited. KONTENTMENT.-Kontentmeut is gift OT God. as it kan be cultivated a lit? tle, but it. ls bard tow acquire. Kontout* moot i? said tobo tho'same as bapp?a?s?^ this aokonnts Tor tue' amau ?moant x>v happiness laying around loose, without enoy owner. I don't believe that man waz made tow be kontented, nor happy in this world, for if he had bin, ne wouldn't har hankered ennff for the other world. When a man gita perfektly kontented, ho and a clam are fust couzins. Kontentruent iz a kind ov moral lazi? ness; if ibero want ennythiug but kon? tentment in this world, man wouldn't be any moro ov a suckcess than au angle? worm iz. When a man gits so that he don't want onnything more, he iz like n rackcoou, with his intestines full ov green corn. Kontentment iz one nv the instinkts, i admit it tew bo happiness, but it iz a kind ov spruce gum chawing happiness. We all lind fault with Adam and Eve. for not being kontented, but if they had biu satisfied with the gardiu ov Eden, and themselfs, they would have been liv? ing tharo now, thc only two human be? ings on the face ov the urth, az innocent as a couple ov vegetable oysters. They would hav biu two splendid spe? cimens of the handy work of God, ele? gant portraits in the vest?bulo ov heaven, but they wouid not bav developed rea zon, tho only God-like attribute in man. When a mau ii thoroly kontented, he iz either too lazy to want ennythiug, or too big a phool tew enjoy it. I hav lived in uaberboods where overy boddy seemed to be kontented, but if the itch had ever broke out in them na berhoods, the people would haveskratch ed to this doy. I am in favour ov all the vanitys, and petty ambishums, all tho jealousys, and backbittings in tho world, not bekauzo I think they am ban-some, bekau?e I thine the}' stir up men, und wimmin, get them onto their muscle, cultivating their venom, and rcazon at the same time, aud proving what a brilliant cuss mau may be, at the same time that it proves what a miserable cuss he iz. I had rather seo two wimmiu pull hair, than tew seo them set down, thoroughly satisfied with an aimless life, and nover suffer eney excitement, greater than bleeding tears together, through their nose, for a parcel of shirtless heathen, on the coast ov Madagaskar, or, once in a while, open their eyes, from a dream of young u3*8ou kontentment ten, tew sarch tho allmiukak, for the next chango in tho moon. Kontentment iu this age of the world, either means death, or decay, in the days ov Abraham kontentment was sim? ply ignorance. The world iz now full ov laming, the arts, and sciences, and all the thousand appliances ov reuzon, these things make ignorance the exception, and no man haz a right tew cultivate kontentment, euny more than he haz tow cut oph biz thurn, and .-et quietly down and nuss tho stub. Show me a thoroughly kontented per? son, and i will show yu au useless one. What we want iz folks who won't be kontented, who kant bo kouteutcd, who git up in the morning, not simply to hav their bed made, but for tho sak^ov git tiug tired; not for the sake of nourish? ing kontentment, but for the sake ov put? ting turpententiue in sum ded place, and stirring up the animals. Kouteutmeut was born with Adam, and died when Adam ceased tow beau angel and bekum a mau. I don't say that a man couldn't" be hatched out, aud, like n young owl, set ou a dri limb, awl biz days, with biz branes az fast asleep az .% mud-turkles, and at last sneak into heaven under the guizo of kontentment, but i do say, that 10 geueraBhuus ov sich rueu would run most of the human race into the ground, and nz base as a currency made out ov puter ten cent pieces. I would like, jist az well nz the next man, tew crawl into- a hole, that jist fit? ted me, bed fust, and thus shutting out out all the light, bo konteuted, for i know how awfully unsoothing the aims and nmbisbuns ov life are, but this would only be burying mi few tnllents, and sacrificing on the ded niter ov kon? tentment what war given mo to make a fire or a smudge with. Tharo aiut no sich thing as koutont ment and renzon existing together; thoze who slip out ov tho crowd into sum al? ley, and pretend thoy aro chawing tho cud of sweet kontentment, tho verry best specimens ov them, are no bfetter than pin cushions stuck full. They have jist az menny lougiugs az ennybody, they have ji:it az mauy vices; their virtews are too often simply a mix tur ov jealousy and cowardice. Kontentment is not designed, as a stiddy bizziness, for the sons ov man, while on this urth. j A yeller dogg, with a tin kittie tew his tale, climbing a hill at a threo-minit gate, iz a more reasonable spektakle for me thau a slimy snail, kontented and happy. II ARD ox EDITONS.-Soon after Chief Justico Chase assumed thc gubernatorial chair in Ohio, bo issued his proclama? tion appointing a Thanksgiving Day. To make suro of being orthodox, the Governor composed his proclamation almost entirely cf passages from the le?? ble, which he did not desiguato us quo? tations, presuming that every ono would recognize them, and admiro tho fitness of the words as well as his taste in their selection. Tho proclamanon, meeting tho oye of a Democratic editor, ho pounced at once upon it, nud deolarod that ho had read it boforo-couldn't ex? actly suy whoro-but ho would take his oath that it was a down-right plagiarism from beginning to end. That would have been a pretty fair joke; but the noxt day tho Republican oditor carno ont va? liantly in defence of the Governor, pro? nounced the charge libellous, and chal? lenged any man living to produce ono single lino of tho proclamation that had ever appeared in print before. ? G o nu try m au stopped ot one of our oily restaurants for dinner. The waiter inquired what Jje would have, ofld was' .told by toe,o<iuj#!iiMB to. brU^.^me. toing of wnat ne bajT, The, waiter brought him a regular dinner upon small dishes, hs is the usual form, and set them around his plate. He surveyed them carefully for a moment and then broke out: "Well, I like your samples, now bring me dinner." "Really, my dear," said poor Mr. Jones, to his better half, "you have sadly disappointed me. I onoo consi? dered you a jewel of a woman, but you've turned ont only a bit of matrimonial paste. "Theil, my love," was tho reply, "console yourself with tho idea that paste is very adhesive, and will stick to you as long as you live." An Irishman, who was troubled with the toothache, determined to havo au old offender extracted, but there being no dentist near, he resolvod to do tho job himself. Whereupon, ho filled the excavation with powder; but, beiug afraid to touch it off, he put a slow match to it, lit it, and then ran rotiud thc corner to get out of the way. Bald headed husband-"Just take that magnifying gln*r?, ducky, and soe if there's any young hairs a sprouting. I've finished the seventh bottle of the restorative, aod woru out thrco hair brushes rubbing it in." Wife-"Good gracious, Nicodemus! there ain't uo more hair on your head thau there is on the cover of our old copper kettle!" An Irishman, having arrived iu this I country, struck across the fields in search of employment. While ascending a bili, he suddenly came to n stand-still nt sight of a laud-turtle slowly wending its way. Pat, never having Feen the animal be? fore, exclaimed: "Holy mither, the divil of a country is. this, where tho snuff boxes walk up hill!" A gentleman sent a lad with a letter to tho post office, and money to pay tho X>ostage. Having returued with the money, he said, "I've done tho thing slick. I seen a good many folks putting letters in the post office through a hole, and so I watched my chance, and got mine in for nothing!" Au eloquent orator proposes to grasp j a ray of light from the great orb of day, spiu it into threads of gold, and with them wavo a shroud in which to wrap tho whirlwind which dies upop the bosom of our Western prairies. We fear the machinery will break before the fabric is through tho loom. A couutrymau visiting Dartmoor, Eng? land, observed that a gung of men were working on the moor, each wearing a ball and chaiu. no asked ono of them why that ball was chained to his leg. "To keep people from stealing it," was the reply; "there are so many thieves about here." One of the amusements at Long Branch is to watch the Now Jersey mos? quitoes open clams with their billson the shore. ?Several of these useful little in? sects are being domesticated and taught to punch rivet holes in steam boilers. A poor Irishman, seeing a crowd of people approaching, asked what was the matter. He was answered, "A man going to be buried." "Oh!" ho replied, "I'll stop and see that, for we carry them to bo buried iu our country." A cross old bachelor says: "Tho rea? son why women do not cut themselves iu two by tight lacing, is becauso they lace around tho heart, and that is so hard they cannot affect it. "Where's your filial gratitude, you naughty boy? What would you have been, without your kind father and mother?" "I 'spose as how I'd bceu an orphau, sir." "I see the villain in your face," said n Westeru judge to au Irish prisoner. "May it idease your honor," replied tho piisoner, "that must be a personal re? flection." Patience is exemplified in tho man who left his wagon while his horse balked, sat on n stump nnd read the Bible till the animal was hungry enough to go home. John Jarvis, carpenter of tho ship Levant, lost in tho Pacific in 18(31, has como homo to Norfolk, Va., after nine years' Hobiusou Crusoing ou a desert island. They have some whiskey in Ohio that can beat Dexter's best time. Ono drink killed a man iu 2.IC.1 .j to harness. It is mado there, and called knock 'cm stiff.
