A venerable lady who resided in subur-

amusement. In feeding them one day,
she wet her feet and severe bilious at
tack resulted She sent for box of ants
bilious pills, and was about to take a dose,
when the idea suggested itself to her that
nature was natures best restorer, and she

and with sharp appetite, and looking at
her chickens. she resolved to have enc

After 80 minutes she took it from the
pot, only to find it like stone, and gave
it another trial, with no better success;
and the third time she tried it, UNTIL after
two hours and a half she gave it up as a
bad subject. The trouble was this--the
chickens had partalzen of the anti-bilious

grew dim, his tongue was paralyzed. A
cold clammy perspiration oozed through

liquid eyes toward Julietta At length

marrow bones he thus addressed her.
"My dearest Julietta, with all my heart
l love you-I love you p
Here his voice failed, and he would
have sunk upon the carpet, but a timely
answer from her enraptured lips brought
him spell-bound to his feet !" Rise, SIR

4" An Ungeneroas Fling"

The Tri-Weekly .frgus-Placervlle re.
proves US for saying certain things concern
ing the Marshal of that town, and designa-
ted a comparison which we made, as ''an
ungenerous fling" at John Kirk We can
stand a little reproof on the Marshal ques-
ton, bearing him no worry i'll will, but
must be allowed to remain implacabsc to-
ward the offender, Kirk We believe him %
be an unfaithful steward, and lave said so,
and shall stick to it until he has purged onr
mind Of the contempt which We entertain
for him, by proving his uprightness and
honesty of purpose. For the allusion Of
the .4rgus to our urbanity and magma
nimity'' we are very grateful. Wo strive 20
exercise such qualities toward every body
who merits polite and gentle treatment, but
must confess that cur possession Of those
virtues is seldom acknowledged by the com
monalty. Should We deal lightly with John
Kirk & Co. We should have occasion to sue
the State for pardon, exclaiming with Mark
Anthony,
son pardon me. thou piece of bleeding
earth, (the great North) That am meek
and gentle with these butchers" (tLe Kirk
conspirators)
Our attacks upon Kirk are not prompted
by personal enmity--we never saw the man
but by conviction founded upon facts
and figures, that his official conduct was in
the highest degree reprehensible.

Eve
There is no occasion which offers itself more
temptingly to the Editor, for an annual
subject. than this same Christmas Eve We
proceed to seize upon it with an avidity
equal to that with which we used to crawl
out Of our comfortable bed at daylight, to
clutch at and dive into the mysterious
stocking that Santa Claus, or somebody else,
always used to hang up in the Chimney cor
ner, or on the stove pipe of 'our house at
ho.ne," and always used,to fiji with all sorts
of desirable things, greatly to the injury Of
our digestive organs, and to the disfgure-
ment of our best bbs and fuckers. These
things always occur TO every body's mind
who was reared in o Christmas keeping

and then they are 80 convenient to repeat

Mountain, upon happy hearts and sad hearts;
upon sacred saactuarie5 and noisy grog
shops; upon the new made bride; upon the
old maid; upon the wall of the new parson-
age; upon the iron shutters CT the Butte
Record Office, and upon gaudly decked toy
shops and butcher stalls rich in little "roast-
ers" and big turkies; and upon the birth
nigh. of q grand gala day for all Christen-
dom.
