A PIECE OF Coon LUcK.-On Friday last 4
gentleman of this city found in the streets a
check for $1,000, drawn by one of the most
substantial Of our men of business to the order
of another wealthy firm. and duly endorsed.
He took it at once to the bank apon which It
was drawn, explained the circ nuisance to the
paying teller, aud left the check with him to
be delivered to the rightful owners. In few
minutes a very agitated gentleman made his
appearance at the counter, inquiring whether
a cheek for that amount, drawn and endorsed
in the manner described, had been presented,
Tine teller, disposed to keep him in suspense.
replied It oncc, Yes here it il; is there any
thins wrong? Is it forgery? The effect
was 30 distressing that the good natured teller
could not help soothing him at once. Never
mind; never mind our bank is liberal Ne
will pay If to you again. if it troubles you SO
so mueh, The assurance was very reviving
especially as man who had business with
corporations, he knew it must be all right If
they would pay the money; and fervently
thanking his unknown friend, he went off with
heart very much Eghtened o. Pic,

The following beautiful little poem from

oet's own experience Whether 1t Is or no,
is natural enough to be thus set down.
THE LETTERS.

A black yew gloomed the stagnant air,

We met, but only meant TO part.
Full cold my greeting was, and dry;
She family smiled, she hardly moved;

She wore the colors | approved
She took the little ivory chest,
With half sigh she turned the key,
Then raised her head with lips comPFest,

She talked as if her love were dead,

shook her breast with vague alarms
Like torrents from mountain source
We rushed into each others arms.
We parted; sweetly CLEANED the stars,
And sweet the vapor- braided blue,

The very graves appeared to smile,

REAL AGE AND REAL YoUTH-Lasting:hon
or permanent eminence, and abiding virtue,
have ever been won by those who were never
really defeated, because every check they
received was turned to account--conveying
instruction and fortifying against future error
1T men but would remember that their life
on earth is but a schooling for eternity-if
they would discard that abominable heresy
that induces them to reject all fresh instruction
that is presented to them, after certain period
of life, if men would only do this, they would
still be growing in wisdom and grace But,
alas ere they have mastered the rudiments of
real knowledge, they form, or attach themselves
to, some undigested system of science, politics,
or religion, and hug it, fight for it, and die for
it. We hear talk of the heroes of hundred
fights, yet he who turns the sword of truth
against his own breast, to divide the false from
the true, and the good from the evil, is
champion transcendently more glorious than
the conquerors of kingdoms He assumes no
glory, no merit, it is true, for he knows it is all
of mercy and not of himself But this very
humility elevates his nature into celestial purity
and divine association.

IDLENEss-ITs DANGERS There is an old
proverb that tells u.s. Idleness is the devils
pillow" and well may it be so esteemed, for no
head ever rested long upon it, but the lips of
the evil spirit were at its ear, breathing false
hood and temptation. The industrious man
is seldom found guilty of a crime for he has
no time to listen to the enticings of the ewicked
ones and he is content with the enjoyments
honest efforts afford 1t is the vicious idler,
vexed to see the fortunes of his industrious
neighhor growing while he is louuging and
murmurng, who robs aud murders that he may
get unlawful gain. It's the merry, thougltless
idler who, to relieve the nothingness of his
days, seeks the excitement Of the wine cup and
the gambling table. 1t is the sensual idler,
whose icentious ear is open to the voice of the
tempter as often as his track crosses the path
way of youth and innocence. .aa. .

SwEARlNG-The absurdity and utter folly
of swearing is admirably set forth in the follow
ing anecdote of Belzebub and his imps. The
latter one went one evening each to command
his set of men-one the murderers another
the liars, and another the swearers. At even
ing they stopt at the mouth of cave. The
question arose among them which commanded
the meanest set of men. The subject was
debated at length, but without coming to q
a decision. Finally his Satanic Majesty was
called upon to decide the matter in dispute.
Whereupon he said !: "The murderer got
something for killing the thief for stealing, and
the liar for lying, but the swearer was the
meanest of all, for he served without pay"

BS- The California Pioneer tells story of

to his brother d., and then he would 60 on,

A STUBBORN JuRY.-The Portland Tran
script tells good story of Col M, liv-

great aptitude for serving as a juror. When
thus serving, he had very great anxiety that
his opinion should be largely consulted in max
ing up verdict. Some years ago, while up
on case, after many hours trial to agree, but
failing, he marshalled the delinquent jury from
the room to their seats in the court, where the
impatient crowd awaited the result of the
trial " .'

To look devout ant. seem to pray,
And ere tO-mOrrow's sun goes down
Be dealing SANDER through the town?
Docs every sanctimonious face
Denote the certain reign of grace?
Does not phiz that scOwls at sin
Oft veil hypocrisy within?
Is it to make our daily walk
And Of our own good deeds to talk,
Yet often practice secret crime,
And thus mis-spend our precious time?
Is it for sect or creed to fight,
To call our zeal the rule of right,
When what we wish is at the best,
To see our church excel the rest?
Is it to wear the Christians dress,
And love to all mankind profess,
And treat with scorn the humble poor,
And bar against them every door2
Oh, no! religion means not this,
It, fruit more sweet and fairer is
Its precepts this /: to others do
As you would have them do to you.
1t grieves to hear an i'll report,
And scorns with human woes to sport
OF others deeds it speaks no i'll,
But tells of good or keeps it still.
And does religion this impart?
Then may its influence fill my heart
Oh haste that blissful, joyful day,
When all the earth may own its sway.
