of a large litter of pigs—a poor little helpless crea
ture—who wa.s not able to get at its mother for
nourishment, was warmed under the wings of a
good-natured hen. It was fed by hand, but when
turned down, the hen was always ready to take
charge of it, and thus it was reared. These in
stances might be multiplied to a considerable ex
tent, showing the active benevolence of some ani
mals; but the following f»ct will prove the exist
ence of a combined intelligence in creatures, which
I have reason to believe has been hitherto un
noticed by naturalists as existing amongst the
feathered creation. The accuracy of the anecdote
may be vouched tor. In the island of Ceylon
there is to be found a very cunning and sensible
crow, somewhat smaller than our own native one,
having a glossy back, and altogether rather an en
gaging, pretty bird. Now, in the yard of the
Governor of Ceylon, a dog was one day amusing
himself by gnawing a bone, the scraps of meat
upon which attracted the attention of one of these
crows. It alighted on the ground, hopped around
the dog and the bone, and evidently waited for
an opportunity to seize the latter. The dog, how^-
ever, was on his guard, and by certain growls and
probably angry looks, which the bird understood
no doubt, piotccted his property. The crow was
too cunning and too hungry to be baffled. He
flew away but soon returned with a companion.
They hopped up to the dog, when the fresh ar
rival watched his opportunity and gave a sudden
pull at the dog’s tail. Not being used to such an
insult, he suddenly turned round, in order to see
who had taken this liberty with him. The bone
was for a moment left unprotected, and was im
mediately seized by the first cunning crow, who
flew away with it, joined by his companion, and
they doutle.ss had a merry feast upon it.

The Xecetsity of Labor.—The notion is false
that genius can secure its aims without labor.
All the great minds who have lett their marks
upon the history of the world’s progress, have
paid for their success and notoriety by the price
of unremitting toil and labor. Napoleon Bona
parte worked hard and incessantly, and has been
known to exhaust the en*^rgies ot' several secre
taries at uue time Charles XIL, ot Sweden, fre
quent! v tivi'l out all his officers. The Duke of
\\’^«.iliii;^rto!i wa.s the hi-rdcst working man in the
Per.in>uia; hi.^ energies never flagged. Milto.i,
from his youth, applied hiaiselt with such intie-
fatigabie application to the study of letters that it
occ tsioned weakne.ss of sight and ultiuaate blind
ness. The labor of Sir Walter Scott is evident
in the number of his literary productions, and it
is apparent to every reader that the immense
massjs of general information which abound
throughout his inaltitudinous works can only '
have been acquired by dint of many years' hard
study. Byron Wiis in the habit ot reading even
at his meals. Luther made it a rule to translate
a verse of the Bible every day. This soon
I brought him to the completion of his labors, and
; it was a matter of astonishment to Europe, that
ia the multiplicity of his other labors, 'besides
traveling, he could find tbe time to prepare suc^
a surprising work.
Newton and LocKe pursued their studies
I with tireless efforts, and Pope sought retirement
so tiiat he might pursue his literary operations
without interruption and distraction. Industry
1.S e.>sentiai to all; by forming the habit of doing
something useful every day, a man increases his
own amount of happiness and enlarges that of
others about him. Many ones, by a judicious use
of the odd moments, those little vacancies in every
day life, which occur to all, have rendered them
selves famous among their fellows. Nature is
preserved iu its proper working condition hy con*
slant exertion, and man, to keep in a healthful
condition of mind and body, must exert his men-
