Revolving ANECDoTE.-A wretch of
husband coming home at one in the
morning, found his angel wife sitting up
reading an old novel. With a coarseness
always amounting to cruelty, he took the
book from her hand and placed before
her pair of her child's socks, which hap
pened to have holes in them, disgustingly
observing, ''if you aoiU fatigue yourself,
my love, with any work at such an hour,
l would suggest 1t IS nereU too late to
mend."

About a week afterward the Democrats
held meeting at the same place and
among the crowd was to be seen the same
chap and his two remaining pups. He
tried for hours to obtain purchaser, and
finally was approached by a Democrat
and asked,
my little lad, what kind of pups are
these you have?"
"They're Buchanan pups, Sirl'
The Republican, who had purchased
the first two, happened.to be in hearing,
and broke out at the boy.
"See here, you young rascal, didn't
you tell me that those pups that bought
Of you last week were Fremont pups?"

Up and down the hill our course is;

Youthful folly gives the stroke;

"Hi, va! there" the stakes We'll pocket;
To the wind let care be sent;
Time, 2.40. "Whip in the socket,

On the sunny road to fifty,

TO THE PUBLIC,

Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeayor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need Of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gid the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy Of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland Il Jakeman-mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
They'll charge but moderate for their labor,
So now invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them a call

witty and beautiful young lady, "what is
the use of telling us how to make good
dinner, if they give us no plates ?"
Laziness begins in cobwebs and ends in
iron chains. 1t creeps over a man so
slowly and imperceptibly that he is bound
fast before he knows it.
A fool in high station is like man

small to everybody else.

PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-A correspondent
of the San Francisco Herald, writing
from Washington, says there was a
strong disposition, at the last session of
Congress, to pass some one of the projects
then under consideration, but this as well
as other measures were ostsight of IN the
tumult of political agitation. The bill re-
ported from Mr.. Denver's select committee
in the House, and Mr.. Weller's bill, both
remain on the calendar, and are to be con-
sidered in their order. Several new plans
are also talked of. Some parties in New
York who are interested in the Northern
and Western and Southwestern lines of
railroads, are now holding consultation
with view to combination of interests
and efforts in favor of feasible scheme,
and one that can be adopted at this ses-
sion"

ANTI-GAMBLING LAW SUSTAINED
The People as. Markham, who was con-
victed in Sacramento county, under the
law suppressing gambling, was decided
on Wednesday, January 7th, by the Su-
preme Court in Chambers, upon ha6eas
corpus. The prisoner was remanded to
serve out ten days in jail, which is the
equivalent of one hundred dollars. The
house in which gambling is carried on is
only liable when the game is dealt with
the knowledge of the owners. The Sacra-
mento Union, says, this decision will be
very important in its consequences.
This decision virtually closes every
gambling house in the State. The law
fixes the punishment at ten days impris-
onment for each hundred dollars of fine,
imposed. We hope our officers, will now
see to it, and close up some of the gamb-
ling hells" that jingle down near the
the slopes of Court street. If we mistake
not, Justice Stevens would gladly avail the
opportunity to turn these petty gamblers
into "honest miners" Officers do your
duty, or we must do ours.

As medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power the bodily suf-

are liable to misfortune.
Of all the ills that affect man, none are more
terrible than those of private nature. Dread

frightful as are its ravages upon his consttu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and a
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent off
spring. Such being the case, how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease,
should attend to it at once by consulting some
physician, whose responsibility and education
enables him to warrant safe, speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this necessi-
ty. DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to state

So Christ himself, misunderstood,

And now shall you for lesser pain,
Your inmost soul forever stain
By rendering evil back again?

Oh if you look to be forgiven,
Love your own foes, the bitterest even,
And love to you shall glide from heaven.
And when shall come the poisond lie
Swift from the bow of calumny;
If you would turn it harmless by,
And make the venom'd falsehood lie,
