and a gentleman. No person is offended
at what he says, and many hearty laugh
has he provoked by his humorous savings.
He was recently engaged at a sale of
venerable household furniture and had
knocked down sundry lots of kitchen fur
nil4re and fixens. He had just got to
g going going, and hall, and half-so-
ing when he saw g smiling countenance,
upon agricultural shoulders, winking at
him. 4 WINK IS always as good as nod

uoneer, 50 Smith winhed and the man
winked, and they kept winking, and Smith
kept going, going, going, with lot of
glass ware, stove pipes, carpets, pots and
perfUmery, and finally the whole was
knocked down - To a-who2' said
Smith, gazing at the smiling Stranger
!" Who. Goodee!' y said the stranger, az

tioneer. Winaing well, did-so

said Q lady to her husband at breukfas
" BY and by, my love-

the two Ks, ste got the money ard some
thing extra, as he left ms pretty wife and
hurried of to business, saying:
1T takes fortune to keep such Il wife
but 1t worth it.
Wei, this is vastly superior to the

THE RIVULET.
BY WILLIAM NJ. FospIck.

Ever glancing, ever dancing,
Like sportiye child at play.
From its fountain on the mountain
Leaps the rivulet away;
From its starting swiftly darting,
Thinking like a silver bell
As it crosses through the moses
Where the forest fares dwell.
When the olden moon is golden
Gliding every tree and plant,
And the elfn feasts are holden
In the hollow oak they haunt
Ever sparkling through the darkling,
Myrtles, green and violet,
Thou art laughing, they are quaffing
Pansy wine from cups of jet.
Running slower, sinking lower,
As thy seawarl course is sped
Till it bushes, mid dead rushes,
By the oceans briny bed;
SO youths gladness ends in sadness,
And life's rivulets, that start
From loves mountains, lose their fountains
In the Dead Sea Of the heart.

recently in one of the Pacific street dance

One of their number directed the band to play
"Nora Creina," while another insisted upon
having Paddy O'Raferty." The company

affair concluded with general fight, in which
the daughters of the "green isle, true to their
nature, made common cause against all the
rest-whipped them out, and then whipped
each other. A night watchman, attracted by
the noise, found the survivor sitting on the cold
wooden curb, singing" The Harp that once

Tour OF ExPLoRATIoN.-A number of per-

lately started on tour Of exploration on the
other side of the Coast Range of mountains.
They are well provided with maps and Indian
guides, and will visit the veins of silver which
were worked in former times by the Mission
at this point. The existence of rich veins of
silver among those mountains has long been
known to the Americans from rumor and
searches have been made by different parties,
all of which, however, have proved Intellectual.
The company are said to have obtained sure
information of the exact locality of these
mines. The stories told of their richness
seem extravagant, and we will not recount any
of them now, lest we should tax too strongly
