WoMAN's MIssIoN.-We have Of
ten thought that the scene presented
upon the field after a battle was
beautifully illustrative of woman's
mission. Not while man strives
fiercely with his brother man is she
seen-not with clamor and noise,
bearing fire and fuel, does she come !;
but quietly, bearing winter and oil, and
lint, and soft linen bandoges, to
soothe, heal, and bind the bleeding,
fostering wounds. This, this 10 wo-
mans mission, as much on the great
battle field of life as on the actual
field of strife. This Is woman's mis-
sion, and the wife acknowledges it as
she whispers to her husband, "never
mind, my dear, forgive and forget;
to err is human, to forgive divine"
The mother acknowledges it as gen.
tly she checks the chickering's Of her
little ones, and repeats to them some
tale that subdues the dark passions,
and brings their little spirits forth to
revel in the sunshine of happiness
and peace.-Hesperidn.

regard to my son. lie took a severe cold, and after
eight weeks Of suffering the disease settled in
his left leg and foot which sweled to the utmost.
The swelling was lanced by his physician, and dis
charged most prousey after that no less than eleven
ulcers formed on the leg and foot at one time. We
had five different physicians but none relieved him
much; and the last winter found him so emaciated
and low that he unable to leave his bed suffering
the most excruciating pain. During this time the
bone had become much affected that piece after
piece came out (which he has now more than twenty
five preserved in bottle, varying from onehalf to
and half inches in length. We had given up all
hopes of his recovery; but at this time were in
duced to try your Sarsaparia and with its use his
health and appetite began Immediately to improve,
and SO rapid was the change that less than dozen
bottles effected perfect cure.
With gratitude, remain truly yours,

HANGMAN's PILLAR.-Holmes,
"The Autocrat of the Breakfast Ia
ble," tells the following curious story
in his October chat:
"You remember the monument in
Devices market to the woman struck
dead with lie in her mouth. | ne.
yer saw that, but it is in the books
Here is one never heard mentioned;
If any of the "Note and Query"
tribe can tell the story, | hope they
will. Where is this monument? l
was riding in an English stage-coach
when we passed handsome marble
column Gas remember it) Of consi>
derable size and dimensions. What
is that?-I said.-That,- answered
the coachman,-is che hangman's pill
lar. Then he told me how q man
went out one night, many years ago,
to steal sheep. .He caught one, tied
his legs together, passed the rope over
his head, and started for homo. In
climbing a fence, the rope slipped,
caught him by the neck and strangled
him. Next morning he was found
hanging dead on one side Of the fence
and the sheep on the other; in mem
DRY whereof the lord of the manor
caused this monument to be erected
as warning to all who love mutton
better than virtue.

Horse Racing.


> California is becoming the greatest
horse-racing State in the Union. Ev-
cry little town has its race course
and it's frequent races, which form a
principal topic Of conversation and
are prolific of newspaper items. 1t
10 observable that the larger cities are
less addicted to this kind of amnse>
ment, doubtless for the reason that
they are supplied with amusements
of ., nobler kind |; and We are thus
led to infer that racing is prac-
tised so much in the interior as q re-
lief from the monotony of secluded
lives.
But this isby no means the chief
reason. We are afraid the old pas,
sion for gambling has the most to do
with it, and sometimes, when, in the
course Of editorial duty, we have
written the particulars Of a recent
race, giving the distance run and the
amount Of money won, it has seemed
as though the occupation were no
more legitimate and honorable than
if We should record every game of
poker or every grand rattle.
The defence elsewhere urged for
horse>racing, that it improves the
breed of stock, is not set up here, for
it is notorious that the majority of
races are run by inferior animals,
and that but few attempts have been
made to import or to raise blooded
stock. In reference to this subject,
q writer in the Rcd Bluff Beacon
makes the following sensible remarks
"But where are the proofs that any good
results have ever followed racing? There
are none. The assumption that it improves
the breed or blood of stock is all humbug,
their stock to the races with any such object
in view. A love Of gambling is the great
lever that moves them in this work, and not
any hope or belief that it will result in any
benefit to the stock in the way of improve
ment in blood. The story that it is benef-
cial as above mentioned is all well enough to
console destitute family, but it wont do in
truth"
There might not be any objection
to horse-racing merely as an amuse-
ment, and when not accompanied by
gambling, more than there is to boat
racing and to crickets; but when it
is employed as convenient vent for
tho gaming propensities which have
80 long cursed our young State, it is
Is reprehensible as Monte or Faro.
It must then inevitably lead to the
same deplorable consequences, such
as loss Of means, intemperance, per-
sonal degradation, neglect Of family,
and ultimate shame and misery, if
not crime. There are shrewd, cal.
culating men who can follow horse
racing, as means of making money,
without special injury to themselves
or friends; they may even see moths
ing immoral in it, and be esteemed
worthy citizens but the majority
who bet on race nags can not do so
with impunity, and a great benefit
would be done them if they could be
dissuaded from the practice. If men
care nothing for the interests of soci-
ETY. and of their families, which are
alike injured by every species of gam
bling, whether prohibited by statute
Or not, regard for their individual
welfare ought to induce them to shun
horse races as they would poker,
monte or faro.

Voices FROM THE COUNTRY.-The
following genial, hearty compliment
to the interior press of California, is
from the Spirit Of the Times, publish
ed at San Francisco
"We have a regard for these little
newspapers which lie upon our desk
as wo write this paragraph-for these
voices from the country. They are
fresh voices, breathing most of them,
the purity of the mountain air, and
poetry and romance of fruits and
flowers and minerals, for there is po>
etry and romance in all. They are
voices speaking from hundred little
towns far removed from the dust and
turmoil-the fierce daily strife-the
oppressive strain Of big cities; and
they bear with them the charm of
quiet to soothe nerves which are ever
on the rack-to relieve minds which
are ever worn with mechanical
thought. Some of these voices come
to Us like peaceful tones from her.
NETS cell fraught with an acute phi
losophy-other bear with them sweet
messages of beauty and of sentiment
Others again are freishted with a
humor which is not drawn from brains
distracted with a thousand cares, but
genuine and inspiriting; while not a
few give us the views of sharp critics
upon matters which, with those to
whom they are habitual, lose al! sig
nifcance. We like all these voices !;
they are to us sunshine, warmth, beau
ty; they come as a Sabbath offering,
to relieve the dreary sameness of the
week. And when we see attempts
upon the part of ponderous daily
sheets to frown down or to snub the
interior newspapers, We think that an
infusion of a little mountain vigor into
their own dull and nerveless carcasses
would be of benefit both to themselve 8
and to the community"
