This piodueed a movement in die rroop. ' CitBtmnnd were issued, auif fa tigue parties w ere detailed and marched to the front. Meanwhile several ol the eomadiejns engineers no doubt ran along the bat.k; examining the trees on both sides of the arroyo. . At length they all collected around a tall cotton-wood, that grew over the narrowest part of the stream, and 29 or 30 of them scampered tip its trunk. On reaching a high, point, the foremost s strong frllow ran out upon a limb, and taking several tarns of hi tan arotmd if. slipped ou and hung head do n wards.

A monkey was now seen attaching his tail to the lowest on the bridge, another girded him in a similar manner, and another and so on, until a dozen more were added to the string. Theielast were all powerful fcl lows; and, running op lo a high limb, they lilted the bridge into a positron almost horizontal. Then a screarrt from the last monkey of the formation warned th tail end that alt wa ready; and the next moment the whole chain wa swung over, and landed safely on the opposite bank.

A utory is told of two travelers in T ..(.ml hi(ti throw more lighten the art of being happy than & whole volume of precepU and aphorisms. Upon a ye r mA Av in winter, thev were driv ing along in a sledge, wrapped in furs from head to foot Even their flees were mostly covered ; and you couia j see hardly anything but their eyebrows, and these were white and glittering with frost. At last they saw a poof man who had sunk down benumbed and frozen, in the snow. We must stop and help him," said one of the travelers. " Stop and help him'" replied the other. 'you will ne ver think of stopping such a day as this! We arc half froicn ourselves, and ought to U at our jcu Ley's red as otn u possible.", "Eat I cannot leave this eta to perish," rtjoized the more humane traveler, -1 mutt po to hi rt lief ? and he stopped tie sledge. Come," stid ke, " come kelp me to rouse him." " Not 1," replied the e&er, I hare too much regard for my own life to ex pose myself to thia freezing atmosphere any mure than is necessary, I will sit here and keep myself as warm as I can till you come back. So saying, he re solutely kept his seat while bis compan ion hastened to the relief of the perish ing man whom he had providentially discovered. The ordinary mesas of re storing consciousness and activity were tried with complete success. But the kindhe&rted traveler was so intent p on saving the life f a fillow-creature that he bad forgotten his exposure; and what was the consequence? Why the very effort which he made to warm the stranger, warmed himself t And thus he had a two-fold reward. He had the sweet consciousness of doin? a benevo lent act, and be also found himself glowing from head to foot, by reason cf the exertions he had made. And how was it with his companion who had been so afraid of exposing himself ? He wal almost ready to freeze, notwith standing all the efforts he had been making to keep himself warm! - The lesson derived from this little incident is verr obvious. We are all travelers to a distant country. At eve ry step oi our journer we nnd otner tra velers who- need our friendly aid. Nay, God has brought them around our path in great number; and as far as the eye can reach we see their gloomy rank's. now, tuere are two ways of meeting these objects of Christian sympathy and brotherly regard. We can go forward with the stern purposes cf a selfish and unloving spirit, in reply to every appeal which is addressed to our feelings, " Depart i peace, be ye warmed and filled;" or we can say with the warm hearted traveler, I cannot see this man perish i I must hasten to his re lief." And the rule which we adopt ur our gmuancc in autii case win ue- lerminc me quesuou wneuier we are io be haPDV.- The man who lives onlv for himself cannot be happy. God does: not smile on him; and his conscience wui give nim no peace, am ue wno. forgets himself in his desire to do good. not only becomes a blessing to others,1 dui opens a perpetual fountain oi joys in his own bosom.
