POETRY IN CALlFoRNIA.-A correspon-
dent of the Nevada Democrat sends a pa
trotic poetical production to that popular
paper, of which the following is stanza /:
Keep your eye ever fixed or the American Eagle,
Whom we as the proud bird of our destiny hail +;
For that wise fowl YOU can never inveigle
By depositng salt on his venerable tail
The following epigram, apologetlc for the
bear that licked the hand Of Lola Monies,
is from The MarysviIle Herald:- =
When Lola came 10 feed her bear,
With comfts sweet, and sugar rare,
Bruin ran out in haste to meet her,
And seized her hand because twas sweeter.

SLEEPING ON SuNDAY.-A minister Of
the "kirk, in good old Scotland, once dis
covered his wife fallen asleep in the midst
of his homily on the Sabbath. So, pausing
IN the steady, and possibly monotohous flow
of his oratory, he broke forth with this per-
sonal address, sharp and clear, but very
deliberate:
"Susan !"
Susan opened her eyes and ears in a
twinkling as did all other drcamers IN the
house whether asleep or awake.
"Susan, dinna marry yc for your wealth
sin We hae'd none! And dlnna marry
ye for your beauty. that the hail congrega-
ton can see. And if ye hae no grace,
have made sair bargain -
Susan's sumbers were efectually broken
up for that day.-Rer. "A. l.. Stone.

NEVER DEsPAIR.-Ten years ago Pro-
fessor Morse was just erecting the first ex-
perimental line of Telegraphs, between
Washington and Baltimore. Professor
Morse, like all scientific benefactors, had
exhausted his means, and had become as
~cor as Lazarus, and as lean and hungry
looking as any veritable Calvin Edison you
ever saw. One day while eating sump-
tuous dinner of bread and molasses under
the shade of tree, about two miles from
Washington, Amos Kendall approached him
with such lean and hungry look, that he
at once divided his dinner with him, and
before it was concluded, he gave the dilap-
idated Postmaster General an interest IN
his Telegraph patent, which has since made
these two shadows of shade, corpuent
with wealth. They now "have lands and
beeves," like master Robert Shallow, Esq.
There are now 1892 miles OF telegraphic
wires IN this country, with capital stock
of S6,671 1900. Professor Shaffner is about
periecting a system of union and concert
CT the various lines In this country, with
the prospect of an ocean line soon TO be
laid, connecting US with the Transatlantic
Telegraph so that the close neighborhood
of nations may be considered as settled.

PRIMA DONNA WALTZ IN TIE CHURCH.
says that he has been told, by
good authority, that few Sundays since,
an organist in one of the Connecticut river
churches, gave out to his choir the "Prima
Donna Waltz" of Julien, adapted to the
well known hymn
"A charge to keep have,
God to glorily,
never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky"
1t was that celebrated preacher Whitfield
was it not ?--.who said he thought it a
pity the devil should have all the best mu-
sic 10 himself IN. 0. Picayune.
