CLASS FOR PAINTING IN His article is entitled “ The Language of Brutes,” and he certainly does pre sent many proof? to show that there ia such a language, and that it serves to enable the lower animals to confabulate to their entire satisfaction. Here are some of his curious facts: - Among several species of animals there are occasional assemblies which in their proceedings are suggestive of courts of justice; and therefore this name been given to them. These courts supply some very curious illus trations of our present subject The most regular and notable of these as semblies take place among a species of crow termed the corviis comix. Tt S said that deputations come from dis tant quarters, and that, until the con vocation is complete, no business is transacted, the first comers waiting the arrival of the others even for a day or two. A particular field or hill befit ting the importance of the occasion is selected; and when all the deputies have made their appearance the court opens. There appear to be criminals at the bar; but what laws of their com munity have been broken, or what crimes committeed, it Would be diffi cult to determine. The charges ap pear to be made, and the evidence giv en, not individually, but collectively, in a general croaking and clamor.— The witnesses seern to be at the same time judges, lawyers, jurors, and sher iffs -, for no sooner is the clamor against the prisoners over than the whole court fall upon the prisoners at the bar and beat them to death. This accom plished, the court adjourns, and they all disperse quietiy to. thei^ homes. The sparrows also have courts which they conduct in a similar manner, and in which it is conjectured that some sent*; e punished Jbr delinquency. Margrave gives a singular account of the assemblies of the Onarine mon keys which he had frequently witness ed. They assemble in the woods and one of them takes the highest place in a tree, makes a signal with his hand for the rest to sit round. As soon as he sees'.theiu placed, he begins his dis course in a loud and precipitate voice, and the rest observe a profound silence. When he has finished his speech* he makes a sign with his hand for the rest something of their meaning when they g addre&s us with their voices; and so also some of thp higher anitpals quite readily understand what we say to them when we speak of matters which they feel particularly interested in. Tt |s “not worth.,while for us to talk of political questuSs to our dog, or. to ly anything to him of a ti tal nature; for, although he is a clever fellow, he would pay very Tittle attention to what we might say, and, in fact, would not understand a word qTifc al all But we speak to him about Us dinner, or about going to the . -Mr\. us to hunt squirrels, and 1>« -verjl emphatically signifies [fcMns that he understands quite well what we are saying. He has a practical turn of mind, and will have nothing to do with any of the sciences; and of all the arts he cares only for that of living well, and enjoying himself. In regard to this he is always ready to hear any thing to his advantage. Some dogs show a remarkable sensi tiveness about being made the subject of conversation; and in illustration of this we have an anecdote which Sir Walter Scott told of his dog Camp, who was a very wise dog, and had a wonderful faculty for comprehending what was said about himself. He had been taught to understand a great many words, insomuch that his master felt very positive, from the progress his dog had made in language that the communication between the canine species and ourselves might greatly be enlarged. Camp was very indiscreet one day, however, and hit the baker who was bringing bread to the family. “ I beat him,” said Sir Walter, “ and explained the enormity of his offence; after which, to the last moment of his life, he never heard the least allusion to the story, in whatever voice or tone it was mentioned, without getting up and retiring into the darkest comer of the room, with great appearance of distress. Then if you said, ‘The ba ker was well paid,’ or ‘The baker was not hurt after all,’ Camp came forth from his hiding-place, capered and barked and rejoiced.” . How far the extreme senskiveneea Camp had ia^ re gard |o this offence of his was due to through New Jersey, in. the darkest hour of our national adversity, he was pursued by n’ smatt' partySif'British cavalry, the leader of which, was a good horseman, and pouutodu wall as Pu laski. Pulaski rode in the rear of his detachment, and the British captain rode in front of those he commanded. The morning sun pas shining bright ly, casting oblique shadows, and the pursued party entered a loug, narrow lane. Pulaski having satisfied himself of the superior speed and command of his horse over that of his pursuer, slackened hb pace and kept hb horse powerful and fleet charger.

Some parsons go .into a sick room, and sit hour after hour with eyes fixed upon the sick peNbn, occa sionally whispering to some equally In discreet one that may chance to be nigb. Thb is nfcnolutely intolerable. Others will hang about the door and peep at the sufferer, as they would steal a look at some show. This, toe, is intolerable. Another practice when the patient is very sick, is that of feeling the pulse, looking at the finger nails, examining the feet, with sundry other acts, all of which are accompanied with a very to the side of the land farthest from wise look, a sigh and a whisper. All the sun. The pursuing officer came up, in hot haste, so as to make tire de cisive cut upOu Pulaski, as soon as.he could reach him. ^ Pulaski rode as though he heard not the advance upon him, yet he kept hb eye warily upon the ground on the side of hb horse towards the sun on the right As soon as he saw the shadow of hb pursuer’s horse gain upon him and that his horse’s head, by hb shadow, had gained about half the length of hb own horse’s body, he gave the sudden sword cut of St. George with his pow- ful arm, and saw the decapitated head of the English officer following the stroke. Hb mathematical eye had measured the distance by the position of the shadow so accurately, his position of giving a long back reach to his right arm while the cross stroke of hb pur suer must have been made at much shorter dbtance to have taken effect, ers .; in. 1 .. -b?

Test of Aetnal Deatii. that the pursuing officer lost hb head this explaniatflifiTiETiasrreceltTed of its T>eforehe suspected thatIns proximity enormity, it b impossible to say; though it may be safe enough to con jecture that the mention of the baker produced an unpleasant sensation in the nerves of his skin, rather than any pricking of hb conscience. But every dog has his day, and Camp grew aged and infirm. “ When he was unable, toward the end of hb life, to attend me when on horseback,’ said hb illustrious master, “ he used to watch for my return, and the ser vant would tell him hb master was coming down the hill, or through the moor; and, though he did not use any gesture to explain hb meaning, (’amp was never known to mistake him, but either went out at the front to go up the hill, or at the back to go down the moor-side. He certainly had a singu lar knowledge of spoken language.” It is quite likely that the dog catches the meaning of what b said to him somewhat from the expression of the speaker's face or from the tone in which the words are spoken. When we speak to our dog we often see him watch our countenance with the ut most earnestness, apparently for the purpose of discovering our meaning; and, without speaking to him at all, we see that he comprehends very often the meaning of the very slightest and thb, too, is intolerable. A sad mistake common in a dying chamber, is to suppose that the dyiiig person has lost perception and sensibil ity, because uuable to speak. So far from thb being the case, it b believed that the perceptions are more keen and delicate than when in health. Always let it be remembered, in a dying room, that the departing friend may hear all, when the persons present will little sus pect it. How important that every thing in a dying room should be made what it ought to be, for the salvation and quiet of one who b being broken away from all dear on earth, and ap proaching all that is serious in eternity. The sacreduess and stillness of the scene should be dbturbed with great care and caution. One word more in regard to a sick room. A very great mistake is made in the length of prayers, and loud and excited speaking in prayer in the sick room. Thb is an error too common, and often the occasion of great suffer ing lo the sick and dying.—^yonaed Church Messenger. A positive method by which real death may be distinguished readily from that which b apparent only, has been for a long time a desideratum, and prizes of considerable value have at various times been offered for the an nouncement of some unerring test to determine the two. Among others proposed for thb purpose b the appli cation of a few drops of a solution of belladonna to the eye. If life be pres ent, in a few moments a dilatation of the pupil will be observed, very easily noted in comparison with the other eye, which has not been so treated. This is so independent of the condition of the eye, that it is even observable in case of complete amaurosis or of pa ralyse, and b appreciable when all the ciliary nerves have been cut; and it may even be noted upon an eye that has been removed from the orbit as long as muscular contractility remains. Whenever, therefore, its application produces no effect whatever upon the eye, we may assume that muscular con tractility has ceased, and consequently, that life has entirety passed from the body. A precaution is, however, ne cessary in cases where dilatation has most simple modifications of the ex-,2^ place tQ ^ fall \ WAXES counts haa bnea oiganlaai.

A counteraction is, therefore, necessary in this instance, which b to be effected by means of the Calabar bean, which, if life be still present wiil cause the pupil to contract. , j The following curious catalogue of Dickens’ works is worth preservation: “ Oliver Twist,” who had some very “ Hard Times” in the “Battle of Life,” and having been saved from “ The Wreck of the Golden Mary” by “ Our Mutual Friend,” “NicholasNickleby, 1 had just finbhed reading “ A Tale of the Two Cities” to “Martin Chuzzle- wit,” during which time “ The Cricket on the Hearth” had been chirping right merrily; while “TheChimes” from the adjacent church were heard, when “ Seven Poor Travellers” commenced singing a “ Christmas Carol.“ Bar- naby Rudge” then arrived from “ The Old Curiosity Shop" with some “ Pic tures from Italy” and “ Sketches by Boz” to show “ Little Dorrit,” who was busy with the “Pickwick Papers,” when “ David Copperfield,” who had been taking “American Notes,” en tered and informed the company that the “ Great Expectations" of “ Dom- bey & Son” regarding “ Mrs. Lirriper’s Legacy” had not been realized, and that he had seen “ Boots at the Holly Tree Inn” taking “ Sontbody’s Lug gage” to “ Mrs. Lirriper’s Lodgings’ in a street that has •“ No Thorough fare” opposite “ Bleak House,” where “ The Haunted man,” who had just given one of “ Dr. Marigold's Prescrip tions” to an “ Uncommercial Travel ler,” was brooding over “ The Mystery of Edwin Drood." These statements tux’ very instruc tive. Farmers nud workmen do not arrive at good oid age as often us tho clergyman and others who perform no manual labor; but thb is owing to neglect of the laws of health, iriatteb- tiou to projtcr habits of life in eating, drinking, sleeping, dress, and the prop er care of themselves after the work of the day i< done.
