Too Coop TO BE Losr.--A Story Of 1ho'ksgliyy-
ing.--"Come, Charles, my son. said Deacon AL
worth, take one of them turkeys and carry up to
parson Moody for thanksgiving
''No, father, don't do that again, tell you"
What do hear now Charles These five and
twenty years have sent the parson turkey. and
Joe has carried them-and Tom and Jerry, and you,
without ever before refusing. What is the matter
now =
''Why father, he never thanked me for bringing
it to him besides he took me TO do q while ago be-
cause started out of meeting 100 soon"
'Well son, you know it is the custom for the
minister to 90 out before any of the congregation
starts; this is done a mark Of respect"
"Respcct or not he is nothing but "a man and as
for creeping for him won't do it."
"Well, let that pass, and carry him the turkey
and if he don't thank you | will"
Charles shoudered the fowl and in short time
was at the house Of the minister, who was seated
in the parlor surrounded by q number of friends
who had come to pass thanksgiving with him.
the turkey heavily upon the table, said, MIR. Moo
dy, there's turkey for you, if you want it you may
have it, if you don't I'll carry it back again
IL shall be very glad of it," said the minister,
shut think you might learn little manners.
Charles can't you do an errand better =
GLOW would you have me do it 2" said Charles.
''Sit down il my chair" said the parson, ''and
| will show you"
Charles obeyed, and the parson took the turkey
and left the room. He soon returned-took off his
hat-made very low bow and said, "Mr. Moody
here is turkey my father sent you and wishes you
to accept of it as present"
Charles rose from his seat, took the turkey and
said to the minister, it is very fine one, and feel
very grateful to your father for it. In this and
merous other instances he has contributed to my
happiness If you will just carry it into the kitch-
en- and return, will send you to Mrs. Moody to
give you half dollar"
The parson walked out of the room--his friends

lad, who ever after received reward for his servi-

NOT TO HIM \ BITTER WORD.
Would's thou wandercr reclaim,
A wild and restless spirit tame
Check the warm flow of youthful blood,
And lead lost one back to God?
Pause, if thy spirits wrath be stirred,
Speak not to him bitter word
Speak not-that bitter word may be
The stamp that seals his destiny.
If widely he hath gone astray,
And dark excess has marked his way,
'Tis pitiful but yet beware,
Reform must come from kindly care.
Forbid thy parting lips to move,
But in the gentle tones of love.
Though sadly his young heart hath err'd,
Speak not to him bitter word.
The lowering frown he will not bear,
The venom'd chidngs will not hear,
The ardent spirit will not brook
The vengeftl brow or bittor look.
Thou would'st not goad the restless steed,
To calm his fire, or excel his speed;
Then let no angry tones be heard
Speak not to him bitter word.
Go kindly to him make him feel
Your heart yearns deeply for his veal;
Tell him the dangers thick that 'Gy
Around his ''widely devious way >
So shalt thou win him, call him back
From pleasures smooth, seductive track.
And warnings thou hast mildly given
May guide the wanderer up to heaven.

Much as we require large addition to the la
boring forces of the country, there is just to
doubt whether the Chinese, of whom some 1000
have arrived here since our last edition, will prove
of real advantage to the country 1t has been sug-
gested, and with some plausibility, that they may
ultimately become the tillers of the SOIL differing
from the southern slaves only in their freedom from
compulsory labor. But thus far thy seeem to have
preferred either the mines or life of indolence if
not worse, in cur cities and towns and the pros
pect of their afiliation with own population, is
remote and questionable. We are rather disposed
to think that miners they are abstracting from
the riches of the country instead of adding to it, as
other classes do by forming permanent settlements
in, and identifying themselves with, the State
s. F. Prices Current and Shipping List.
The miners, and all other classes in the mining
region, are in favor of prohibiting the landing Of
the Chinese in California; and they would be glad
to be rid of those who are among us.

ADDIsoN's DEArH-BED.--1he last moments Of
Addison were perfectly serene. His interview with
his step son is universally known 'See" he said,
chow Christian can do!" The piety of Addison
was, in truth of a singularly cheerful character
The feeling which predominates in all his devotion
al writings, is gratitude. God was to him the all
wise and all-powerful friend, who had watched
his cradle with more than maternal tenderness
who had listened to his cries before they could form
themselves in prayer who had preserved his youth
from the snares of vice; who had made his cup RUN
over with worldly blessings; who had doubled the
value of those blessings by bestowing thankful
heart to partake them who had rebuked the waves
of the Lguran gulf had purified the autunlnal air
of the Campagna, and had restrained the avalancE-
es of Mont Gents OF the Psams his favorte was
that which represents the ruler of all things under
the endearing image of q shepherd, whose crook
guides the flock safe through gloomy and desolate
glens, to meadows well watered and rich with her.

A SCARED IRIsHMAN.-A good story was told
us the other day Of an occurrence on the Great
Western Railroad, which should be recorded as one
of the passing events" of modern time A locomo-
tive about to he attached to the cars at Niagara
Falls left, for minute, by the engineer, and
hurley son of the Emerald Isle, acting rs fireman,
took it into his head that good opportunity was
offered for him to test his own knowledge of
steam engine. Timidly he approached the engi-
neers station; examined critically the polished ma
chinery jerked at everything that had handle
to it, until a sudden kissing and putting startled
him from bis place. He looked out and saw that
the locomotive headed for the west was in motion.
The engineer screamed to MIN to shut off the steam,
but the lrishman, in making the attempt. only
opened the whistle, which again frightened him
from his place, and by that time the locomotive
was whizzing through the country at the rate of
forty miles an hour. The poor paddy swung his
hat, cursed God, and prayed to the 'Howly Yirgn'
to 'stop the id crather . but the "Howly Vir-
gin" turned deaf ear to his prayers and the 'iron
horsc' went screaming through the fields and forests
like fiery dragon. The locomotive, after running
about thirty miles, stopped from exhaustion, and
lrishman was found fiat on his back banched and
PALE even to the tip of his whiskey-bitten nose--
He said to be about the scaredest paddy in all
America. fhnfauq'tN Democrat.

SnoElNG HoRsEs--The following arc the regula-
tions of the British army upon this subjeet They
prepared by mixed commission of officers
and eminent experienced professional men, and have
recently been issued -
l. The shoe is to be bcveled off so as to leave a
space and prevent pressure to the sole.
2. 1t is not to be grooved or fettered but simp-
ley punched and the nails counter sunk
5. Calking is to be applied to the outside heel:
The inside heel is to be thckenod in proportion.
4. The weight of the shoe is to be from twelve
to fifteen ounces according to the size of the horse:
s. Horses are to be shod with no less than six
nails in the fore, and seven in the hind shoe-nor
is the shoe to be attached with less than three nails
in each side.
6. In preparing the foot for the shoe, as little as
possible should be pared out; and the operation
should be confined to the oxfoatng parts of of the
foot only,
7. Both the fore and the hind shoes are to be-
made with single clip at the toes.

"TALL WALKING"--Th Paris correspondent of
the New York Times describes two remarkable ex-
permcnts in Hrostation, which, he gives assurance,
were actually performed. man enveloped in
network containing large number of bladders fill
led with hydrogen gas ran one day down the
Champs Elysees, at the rate of ffty-three miles an
hour. His leaps were enormous the ascensional
power of the gas not sufficient to carry him up,
but it neutralized threefourths of his weight. He
subsequently renewed the experiment with little
more gas He made forty miles an hour and said
with favorable wind he could easily make forty
five, and beat any locomotive without fatigue. The
Times correspondent adds ''With the tremendous
muscular power possessed by man, it is evident that
if he could in any way lengthen his legs, as this
invention in reality does he would realize the fable
of seven-leagued boots. Caulder, the most agile
clown of the circus who was present, agreed soon,
with similar appaTatus to jump over the Seine
understand that dozon machines, with improve
ments are now in course of fabrication, and that
the idea of annihilating space has seized upon moro
than one adventurous brain. AS to the ieronauts,
they all acknowledge that they might as we'll burn
their balloons"
Simultaneous with the above we read of another
gentleman in Dublin (enjoyng the appropriate
name of Swift) trying experiment with an ap-
paratus for progressing through the water at rap.
id rate. The apparatus we are told consist oftwo
air-tght tin floats of twenty feet long taperng to
narrow point at each end and joined together by
two bars of iron. The mode in which it is propel-
led is by double blade oar eighteen feet in length,
which is made to revolve, windmill fashion, by the
occupant, VIII stands in the centre. Mr.. Swift
plunged into thewater with his marne and arrived
at the Eden Quay safely, having made five miles an
hour.
Now if the first invention can be added to the
second, it is quite obvious that man can hop about
over the world. An occasional foothold on an island
q continent is all that is required. He can
then take spring and alight on another island or
continent, and if he misses his mark and hops in
the sea instead, all he has got to do is to paddle
away until he does come to something of the kind
