SUGGEsTIoNsT TO Young MEN.-In the
course of my travels, [ have seen many a
promising and fine young man gradually
led to dissipation, gambling and ruin, mere
ly by the want of means to make solitary
evening pass pleasantly. / earnestly ad-
wise any youth who quits that abode of
purity, peace and delight, his paternal
home, to acquire taste for reading and
writing. At every place where he may
reside long, let him study to make his
apartments as attractive and comfortable
as possible; for he will find little extra
ordinary expense, so bestowed at the be-
ginning, to be economy at the end; let
him read the books in the language of the
place IN which he lives; and above all, let
him never retire without writing at least
page of original comments on what he
has seen, read and heard in the day. This
habit will teach him to observe and dis
crlmlnate; for a man ceases to read with
dlsultory and wandering mind, which is
utter waste of time, when he knows that
an account of all the information which
he has gained must be written at night

PAIN OF PARTING.-There was wit
messed recently, at the Richmond depot,
a scene which, for its genuine air of
comic perplexity, rivals the misfortunes
of Jonathan Wild, on discovering him
self fooled out of his own spoils, and his
despoiler twenty miles on his own way to
Dover A gentleman had arrived at the
depot just one minute before the starting
of the train Hurriedly purchasing a
ticket he ran to the cars, leaped upon the
platform, and was upon the point of en-
tering the door, when, unfortunately, his
hand struck the railing, causing some ten
or fifteen small gold pieces which he held
in it to scatter in motley confusion among
the chips and trash Immediately beneath
him. What could he do? There was
not a second to be lost. Tumbling excl
tedly down, he commenced promiscu-
Gus scrambling for the erratic gold pieces,
crammed his pocket with chips, stuffed
his boots into every visible hole likely to
admit either cart-wheel or copper
and, to cap the climax, seized an arm-full
of sticks, bark, clnders and earth, and,
throwing them desperately upon the plat
form, hurried after them with a look of
perturbation that would have converted
sympathy into a grin, or sentimental
monomaniac into shaking Momus.-
The train left Immediately, and the last
view we caught of the unfortunate indi-
vidual, he was kneeling on the platform,
hopelessly raking in the pile of variega-
ted trash, both pockets inside out, and
his hat in the act of bidding adieu, as
the train made curve and gave it to the
wind. The fruit boys, who had viewed
with infinite anxiety, the wholesale at
tempt of the individual to carry off the
foundation of the depot, now leaving their
baskets to the care of nobody in particu-
lar, leaped down, searched the premises,
and resumed their business with an ag-
gregate capital of fourteen dollars, inde-
pendent funds.

Mr.. CHoATEs LEcTURE.-At the fremont
Temple, Boston, before the Boston Mercantile
Library Association, on HAMILTON and BURR,
is reported in the Boston Courier, from which
report we make few extracts. The charac-
ter of Burr he summed up as follows
"But how few there are like Burr
When you have enumerated Cataline and
his associates, Cicero and his enemy, Sal
lust, Alcibiades, Borgia and Machiavel,
you have enumerated all who most resem-
bic him. He may have loved his daugh-
ter and kept some friendships, but he had
no regard for the spirit of humanity, or
for any solemn plausibility of life. He
spared neither man in his anger, or wo-
man in his lust, nor the Union in his am
bition. Stat nominis umJra Let us
observe him no longer and pass on.
OF Hamilton Mr. Choate said
"The public life of Hamilton closed
with the fall of federalism. The same
wisdom, the same American feeling and
love of country, characterized him as did
Jefferson. Nobody calls in question the
stupendous ability with which he assisted
to frame the administration of the gov
ernment, restored order to its finances,
gave support to our credit, and impressed
upon us to be impartial when our first
friend had become a republic and our first
enemy was fighting her.
AS a lawyerhe was wise, safe and just,
l. Il L. e Al 10
Mr.. Choate mentioned instances of Ham
ilton's uprightness in professional deal
ings, and spoke of his defence of Cros-
we'll for libel in 1904, as his masterpiece,
and as nearly the grandest display of the
bar-one which is indellibly inscribed on
the written and unwritten statutes of
America
There and then, in that argument, he
graved on our public law, as with a pen
of steel upon an obelisk fronting the sun,
the doctrine that truth, from right mo-
tives and for justifable ends may be
safely written on anybody high or low
He was a thorough and deep reasoner, and
his eloquence was sin9ularly powerful
Hamilton's labors as the editor of the
Federalist, and the remarkable preco-
ciousness of his intellect were spoken of.
He began to speak at the age Of eighteen,
and at that age was among the ablest Of
our writers against England. At twenty
four he wrote that masterly letter to Du-
ane, anticipating the provisions of the
Constitution; at thirty-two he wrote for
the Eederalist, and at thirty-eight he
ceased to be public man. Saving Pas
chal, Caesar and Napoleon, it is doubtful
if vaster or purcr powers have been ex-
hibited by man.

"INsTANTER WHIsK John
Young, of the Westfeld argus, tells
some awful stories Here is his last at
tempt:
"Some of our younger readers may
have heard of brandy that kills at eighty
rods. An anecdote told us the other day
discloses the fact of compound called
whiskey, considerably more certain in its
effects. Charley l., attending a
dance one evening, feeling in frst-rate
spirits, got his keg pretty full of ardent,
and finally retired to the privacy of an
armchair, where he sat comfortable,
cornered," and pretty much incapable
of locomotion Just then H came
along, and seeing his state, addressed him
with:
"What's the matter, Charley, laid out,
eh ?"
" An entire mistake; didn't take MORN
thimble full" hiccoughed Charley =
+" wanted eighty-rod whiskey, and the
cussed fool gave me instanter.

CALIFORNIA WIDOWS The following
from the pen of Calvin B. Mcdonald, ESQ.,,
of the TRINITY Journal, will come home
with saddening force to the hearts of many
a good and true man in the mines, whose
good time has not yet come. Would that
it might be spread before the thousands
of thoughtless personsin the east, to whom
reference is made in the notice:
We are told that in the States the phrase,
California widow" has become an epithet
of reproach and taunt. ooh, she's a Cal
ifornia widow her husband has been gone
seven years !" says the sneering harlot
who ridicules the faithful wife, sitting in
her broken household The infdelity of
a few is visited on the innocent, until she
who with heart unpolluted, numbers each
twilight gathering, is lacerated with the
cruel fangs of scandal, while her tears of
desertion distil on the pillow which she
has smoothed athousand times for one who
comes not. And who's to blame for her
exposure to the taunting sarcasm of unde-
tected guilt? Not always he who with
unshaven face and downcast eye, sit alone
at his wooden Fireplace preparing scanty
meal. Seven years deserted and outlawed
by the martial statutes, divorced by the
multiplied invertings of times hour-elass,
he is still faithful to the companion of his
youth. The mouth that would speak light
ly of her chastity and truth, would feel
the crushing weight of his boot-heel.-
There are persons in the mines who, dur
ing seven years of labor and frugality,
have never had FIVE hundred dollars at
time. 1t would require all their store to
pay the ocean transit tax, they can not
and will not 90 home, from the land of
gold, "dead-broke," to be ridiculed for
failure, and SO work on, hoping, despair
ing, trusting to the miners golden-hue to-
morrow-and their wives are "California
widows" who, in spite of time and deser-
tion and despair itself, still look for them,
hopefully, in innocence, purity and truth.

TRIBUTE TO TRUE WoMANHooD.-
Some writer, speaking of woman, pays
the following tribute to the wives and
daughters of mechanics and intelligent
working-men
"There we behold woman in her glory
not doll to carry silks and jewels
not puppet to be hattered by profane
alteration, reverenced to-day and discar-
ded tomorrow, always jostled out of the
place which nature and society would as
sign her, by sensuality or contempt; ad-
mired, but not respected; desired, but
not esteemed ruled by passion, not by
affection; imparting her weakness, not
her constancy, to the sex she should ex-
alt the source and mirror of vanity
We see her as the wife, partaking of the
care and cheering the anxiety of hus-
band dividing his tolls by her domestic
intelligence; spreading cheerfulness all
around her; for his sake sharing the de-
cent refnements of the world, without be-
ing vain of them; placing all her joys
and happiness in the man she loves. As
mother, we find her the affectionate in
structress of the children, whom she has
tended from their infancy, training them
in thought and benevolence; addressing
them as rational preparing them
to become men and women in their turn

TULARE VALLEY.-A correspondent
of the Mariposa Democrat, writes that
the people of Tulare Valley are in very
prosperous condition. The crops promise
to be abundant, and in fact, everything
the heart can desire is here to be found
in plenty. The placer and quartz mines
of White river are paying handsomely to
all who work. Times are much better,
and money more abundant on Kern river
than has ever been the case, at least for
many years.

THERE WERE THREE OF Us MoTHE

THERE WERE THREE OF Us, MOTHER,
Now BUT Me Little Adaline
Johnston died the other day on Sidney
Hill. She was very beautiful and in
telligent child, of seven years. She was
the household pet, but death came tap
ping on the window pane, and she had to
leave her playthings and 90 away up the
viewless path on which the little pilgrim
leaves no tracks as she travels on, shell
tered by the overspreading wings of Heav-
ems gentlest angel of death, who is sent
out, without his terrors, to bring in the
little souls to whom Deity ordains an early
sanctuary under the mercy seat Two
months ago little sister went before, and
we suppose, came to welcome her in, when
the gentle touch of a sinless spirit set
Heavens gate ajar. A brother only re-
mains of the group of household statuary,
on which the parents looked with a pride
more triumphant and exultant than that
of a sculptor when his chisel has created
an immortal statue
Oh. for going out of life like hers
who lies under the hoary peaks that look
haughtily down on her quiet sleeping
place When the angel Of the resurrection
stands by the populous metropolis, where
the dust of hundred generations is gar
nered, he will remember that in the black
solitudes Of Trinity, where the trees trem-
bic at the stormy wrath of the winter king,
there is sleeper to be walked, of whom
her mother said :-"She is holier than
we, and God took her - Trinity Jour.

How TO BE RIcH.-Th way to get
credit is to be punctual. The way to
preserve 1t is not to use it much. Settle
often; have short accounts.
Trust no mans appearances are
deceptive-perhaps assumed for the pur-
pose of obtaining credit. Beware of
gaudy exterior. Rogues usually dress
well. The rich are plain men. Trust
him, if any, who carries but little on his
back. Never trust him who flies into
passion on being dunned make him pay
quickly if there be any virtue in the
law
Be well satisfied before you give
credit, that those to whom you give it are
safe men to be trusted.
Sell your goods at a small advance, and
never misrepresent them, for those whom
you once deceive will be wary of you the
second time.
Deal uprightly with all men, and they
will repose confidence in you, and soon
become your permanent customers.
Beware of him who is an office-seeker
Men do not usually want an office when
they have anything to do. A mans af-
fairs are rather low when he seeks office
for support.
Trust no stranger. Your goods are
better than doubtful charges. What is
character worth if you make it cheap by
crediting all alike?
Agree beforehand with every man
about to do job, and if large put it in
writing. If any decline this, quit or be
cheated. Though you want job ever
so much, make all sure at the onset, and
in case at all doubtful, make sure of
guarantee. Be not afraid to ask it; the
best test of responsibility; for if offence
be taken you have escaped loss.

ASTONISHING billiard EXPLOIT

ASTONISHING BILLIARD EXPLOIT
Mr.. John w. Hester was recently play
ing game of billiards, in New Orleans,
and by an adroit play, brought the two
reds together about eighteen inches from
the cushion at the foot of the table. He
then "nursed' them so skilfully that he
marked two thousand one hundred and
ffty-seven points by seven hundred and
nineteen consecutive caroms, without ma
king cushion The time occupied in
making this run of 2,157 points, was
nearly two hours and it was only termi-
mated when the player, feeling that he had
accomplished feat in billiards, which,
possibly the world never saw before, be-
came pardonably excited, lost his steadi-
ness of nerve, and made false play.

"Oh, nose. thou rudder in my faces centre,
Since L must follow thee until die;
Since we are bound together by indenture,
The master thou and the apprentice l.
Oh, be to your Telelnachus mentor,
Thou oft invisible, forever nigh;
Guard him from all disgrace and misadventure,
From hostile tweak, or loves blind mastery.
So shalt thou quit the city's stencil and smoke,
For hawthorn lanes and copses Of young oak

Lost their fragrance since the morning broke,

Have you read in the Talmud of old
In the legends the Rabbins h.ve told
OF the limitless realms Of the air.
Have you read 1.-THE marvellous story
OfSandalphon, the Angel of Glory.
Sandalphon, the Angel of Prayer?
How, erect at the outermost gates
Of the City Celestial he waits
With his feet on the ladder of light,
That, crowded with angels unnumbered,
BY Jacob was seen, as he slumbered
Alone in the desert at nights
The Angels of Wind and of Fire
Chant only one hymn, and expire
With the songs irresistible stress
Expire in their rapture and wonder,
AS harp-strings are broken asunder
By the music they throb to express.
But Serene in the rapturous throng,
Unmoved by the rush of the song
With eyes unimpassioned and slow,
Among the dead angels, the deathless
Sandalphon stands listening, breathess,
To sounds that ascend from below
From the spirits earth that adore
From the souls that entreat and implore
In the frenzy and passion of prayer
From the hearts that are broken with losses,
And weary with dragging the crosses
Too heavy for mortas to bear
And he gathers the prayers he stands
And they change into flowers in Lis hands,
Into garlands of purple and red;
And beneath the great arch of the portal
Through the streets of the City Immortal,
Is waited the fragrance they she'd
1t is but legend, | know
fable, phantom, a show
Or the ancient Rabbinical lore;
Yet the old mediaval tradition,
The beautiful, strange superstition,
But haunts me and holds me the more
When look from my window at night,
And the welkin above is all wl.ite
All throbbing and painting with stars,
Among them majestic is standing
Sandalphnn the angel, expanding
His pinions in nebulous bars.
And the legend, l feel, is part
OF the hunger and thirst of the heart
The frenzy and fire of the brain,
That grasps at the fruitage forbidden,
The golden pomegranates of Eden,
To quiet its fever and pain.
