Yesterday was lovely and beautiful day
the calm, holy Sabbath--with sufficient
atmosphere galoping and laughing from the
snow. capped peaks Of the Nevadas to render
the day refreshing and invigorating. Stores
and shops we're closed, the noise of the ham
mer was stilled, and the general appearance
of the town was that Of western village on
the day appointed and set apart for rest
All were apparently devoted to the observ-
ance of the Sabbath, and to listless enjoy
ment under the protecting awnings. or to a
quiet stroll in the suburbs of the " Gem Of
the Foothills"
But one interruption to the peace and
quiet of the day occurred, aud that was of
short duration. John Doe and Richard Roe
celebrated a little too freely, and were
charged five dollars each by Justice Berry.
The fine was very light, considering that
John and Richard were both amiable young
men, and we fear that ten dollars will not
teach them the folly Of destroying their
constitutions, and of disturbing the peace
and quiet of a town laboring to return to
the teachings of youth, by obeying the call
of the church bell and listening to the words
Of Divine Wisdom.
Our junior having gone up the river to
report the proceedings of a'Chnese conven-
| ton, called to meet at Stringtown to endorse
the Lecompton constitution, we have not OBJ
tanned the particulars Of the day with our
usual minuteness. We may venture the as
sertion, however, that the times begin to

A FLEA UNDER A M1cRoscopr

A FLEA UNDER A MICROSCOPE
When flea is made as large as an ele-
plant, we see all the wonderful parts
of its formation, and are astonished to
fine that it has coat armor much more
complete than ever warrior wore, and
composed of strong polished plates,
fitted over each other, each plate COW
cred like tortoise shell, and where
they meet, hundreds of strong quilts,
project, like those on the back of the
porcupine OF. hedge hog. There are
the arched neck, the bright eyes, the
transparent cases, pierces to puncture
the skin, sucker to draw away the
blood six long, jointed legs, four of
which are folded on the breast, all ready
at any moment to be thrown out With
tremendous force for that jump which
bothers one when they wish to catch
him and at the end of each leg hooked
claws, to enable hin to cling to what
ever he light upon. A flea can leap sa
hundred times his own length, which is
the same as if a man jumped to the
height of 700 feet, and he can draw a
load 200 times his own weight.

Bare hes faithful steed,
4 s<aunch disappointing silver grey"
Who rsn the r<oe Of life with sprightly speed,
Yet never rsn-ausy.
Wild oats he never sowed
Yst masticated tame ones with much zest;
Cheerful he bore each light allotted load,
As cheerfully took rest.
Bright were his eyes, yet soft,
And in the main his tail was white and flowing,
And though he never sketched single draught,
He showed great taste for drawing.
1.-the were his limbs and clean,
Fitted alike for buggy or for dray, =
And like Napoleon the Great, ween,
He had martial neigh.
on I have watched him grace
His favorite stall, well Uttered, warm and fair,
With such contentment shining from his face
And such q stable air.
With here and there speck
Of roam diversifying his broad back,
And martyr-like, halter round his neck,
Which bound him to the rack.
- Mors omnibus at length
The hey-day of his life was damped by death,
So summoning all his late remaining strength,
He drew-his final breath
