A CURIOUS AND WICKED LIBEL.-In the
month of January last, young lady
named Caroline Green, residing in No.
% Thompson street, applied to an Italian
artist named Ginseppa Gerossa, whose
studio is in Howard street, near Broad
way, for the purpose of having her por-
trait painted. The terms and style of the
picture were agreed upon, after which
she sat often for the artis: to delineate
her features, and when the picture was
nearly completed Miss G. took excep-
tions to certain matters OF style and man.
ner in which the job was being COM
pleted and refused to take it if not ex-
ecuted according to agreement. This an
noyed the artist, who at once remodelled
the original likeness into ridiculous and
obscene picture, placing pipe in its
mouth and otherwise shamefully disfgur-
ing it, after which he hung it on an hot
house in the rear yard, where it was
publicly exposed to the view of large
number of ladies and gentlemen who at
tended dancing school in the building
attached to the artists premises, and, as
the complains now charges, with the in
tention on his part TO bring her to dis
grace and making her appear ridiculous
in the eyes of her friends. The insulting
artist was arrested and committed to
prison in default of $500 bail.

LovE.-There is love which neglect
cannot weaken. or which injury cannot
destroy, and which even jealousy cannot
extinguish. 1t is the pure, the holy, the
enduring love of mother. 1t is as gen.
tie as the breeze of the evening, firm as
the oak and ceases only when life's last
gIeam goes ont at death. During all the
vicissitudes of this changing world, in
sickness or sorrow, in life or in death, in
chiIdhood's halcyon days. in youths un-
troubled hour, so in manhood's vigorous
prime the mother clings with the same
unwearied affection to her child. 1t is
the same amid the SHOWS and forests of
Siberia, the temperate and joyous regions
of our own fair land, and amid the arid
sands of Africa.

The ECONOMY OF GETTING MARRIEr

The ECONOMY OF GETTING MARRIEp
IN A HURRY.-"I've known some very
mean men in my time,' said Sam Slick.
"There was Deacon Overreach, now, he
was SO mean, he always carried hen iii
his gig-box when he travelled, to pick up
| the oats his horse wasted iii the manger,
and lay an egg for his breakfast in the
morning. And there was Hugo Himmel-
man, who made his wife dig potatoes to
pay for the marriage license. I must
tell you that story Of Hugo, for it's not
bad one; and good stories, like potatoes,
amt as plenty as they used to be when I
was boy. Hugo is a neighbor of mine,
though considerably Older thar be, and
mean neighbor he is, too. Well, when

says he. "what's the price of license?"'
"Six dollars, says he. ask dollars"
says Hugo; ''that's a dreadful sight of
money. Couldn't you take no less?"
"No." says he "That's what they cost
me to the Secretary's Office at Halifax"
"Well, how much do you AK for publish

parson. "Well," says Hugo. "that's SO

and six dollars is great sum of money

wait" So off he went a-jogging towards
home, looking about as mean as a new
sheared sheep. when all at once bright
thought came into his head, and back he
went, as hard as his horse could carry
him. "Parson," says he, "Tve changed
my mind. Here's the six dollars. I'll
tie the knot tonight with my tongue;
that can't undo with my teeth" "Why,
what in nature is the meaning of all this?"
says parson. "Why." says Hugo, ave

INTERESTING DISCOVERY IN FRANCE.-
A Berlin letter of the 4th March, in the
St. Louis Republican says:
Quite an interesting discovery has just
been made near the village of Ormoy, in
France. A steep hill, entirely covered
with blocks of freestone, which had nev-
er been explored, having been purchased
by Mr. Renard, he thought he would
try to make some use of the immense
stones. After having blown up several
he attacked the largest of all. When it
broke by the force of the powder, it ex-
posed the entrance to cavern solidly
constructed, in the centre of which were
two skeletons, dressed in complete sets of
brouze armor, conical casque, round
buckler. ornamented in the centre with
an incrusation of gold, and belts formed
of plates of silver. incrusted with gold
and enamelled. The quivers and ends
of the lances, also in bronze, are intact.
Near the stone, which served as pillar
to the two skeletons, were found six i'm.
mense vases of black earthenware, very
thick, and decorated with NEUROLOGICAL
figures, painted in white, with some por-
tions of sky blue. In the smallest vase
was piece of gold leaf, very thin, about
three inches long, on which was traced
the inscription Of hundred and fifty
small characters absolutely indentlcal
with those of the CeIteberlan medals.

CALIFORNIA MINERS AT WoRK-Iricks
of Irade.-We make the following ex-
tract from California letter in the Boston
Transcript:
You would find it quite an interesting
scene to witness the miners at work, and
observe how they have changed the
whole face of the country. The hills
here being very high and steep, there is
consequently deep ravines, in which the
rays of the sun are felt but for an hour or
two, and through them runs little
stream of thick yellow water, made so
by the constant use in washing. These
ravines are all dug out in the centre, or
where the bed of the stream formerly was,
and are now being worked into the hill
side. Standing at the bottom of one of
these ravines, you would witness scene
worthy of notice. From the foot to the
head, at the top of the hills, there is a
deep channel, or pit should have said,
extending the whole length, and on its
side, here and there. are other pits, dug
into the hill. Through the centre runs
the little stream of muddy water, over
which are set any number of machines
of every size and pattern. Running your
eye up along the pit, you behold some
hundreds of miners, dressed in the most
fantastic and grotesque costumes, some
engaged in rocking their machines, others
in digging the earth, others trying their
luck by picking here and there, as the
place looks inviting, and others looking
on, ready to pounce upon the first man
who happens to find "lead" and take
the next ground to him. A "lead'' is a
term used for layer or strata of gold.
We often find, when digging. that the
most gold lies in certain irection, and
by following it sometimes fifty or sixty
feet, we get erich diggins," and if we
vary foot either side the gold becomes
scarce. A man can claim but fifteen
square feet at a time, and thus you see,
when one sinks hole in a new place,
there are plenty of lookers-on, to see if
he strikes ''lead," and if so. what way
it runs so that they can dig both above
and below him. have had man stand
by ME two hours at time, as l tried pan
ful after painful of earth, and entering into
some sort Of conversation, watch my pan,
to see how l made out. And [ have
thrown out dollar after dollar in gold into
the stream, that he might not see how 1
made out. and after he had gone, taken
my shovel and taken it up again. Out
of my "lead," which ] could then work
out myself, l have got $500 and $400,
when perhaps he would have got the
most of it by digging just above me.
This is what you would call zone of the
tricks of trade"

all the rich uncles in the world. One

eagerly accepted, and with his character.
istic rashness, in spite OF the remonstran-
ces sof his companions, Raymond follows
the chief to the Indian camp.
Once arrived, Manteo throws off the
mask, and declares that the enemy, the
White Plume, shall die by the stake,
while he will take the white maiden for
his bride, in place of Okeama, whom he
has killed.
At this crisis shouts and firing are
heard; the soldiers have tracked the In
dams, and rush upon the scene; the strug-
gle is quickly terminate; Raymond en-
counters Manteo. and kills him, and re-
ceiyes i'll his arms his rescued EVELYN;
her father advances, and the piece ends
happily-the curtain descend upon the

We have recently heard jes, which
is so very good that we have some suspi'
cion that it is also very old, attributed to
legal wit, who being much harrassed
by "capias" writs for debt. absconded from
the State. Being reproached for his con-
duet in escaping from the jurisdiction of
the law, he replied that he fully agreed
with that great moralist, Pope, in his
opinion that,
"a non est mans the noblest work of
God.''

We like the sentiment of the follow
ing quaint stanzas, and commend 1t to
backbters generally:
"What are another's faults to me?
I've not a vultufe's bill
To pick at every flaw l see.

I've folies of my own
And on my heart the care bestow,
And let my friends alone"
