for the following defence of punning -
=" Punning. by persons who have no
wit, has brought the art into disrepute
with many. It. is so easy to make a
bad pun that every fool must try his
hand at it. Yet, ifw were to take the
puns from all the clever jests ex,ant, we
should diminish the number by more
han half. Nearly all of Foote'S and
Quinn's retorts turned on the pivot of a
pun. The old Greek and Roman wri-
ters never lose a chance for a pun, and
are often content with very poor ones at
that. Homer's Odyssey is nothing
without its play upon Quits the most
solemn and stupendous pun ever per-
petrated. Shakespeare loved pun so
we'll, that for the sake Of it he often runs
sublime passage quite into the ground

PASSING UNDER THE RoD.-No one
born Of woman, has ever existed, or will
ever exist, who has not felt, in some de.
gree, the weight of an affective rod.
Job was not the only mortal who has
cried in bitterness Of heart, "Oh, that

scene of trial, though to some the ordeal
is more bitter than to others. Affliction
creeps unbidden into the closet.bound
circle. We may watch with unslum-
bering care over the forms of our loved
ones. but mans destiny is unalterably
written on the records of the past as
we'll as the present, and that fate no one
can escape. See tilial love STOPPING over
the couch where lies the forms of those
who, in life's earlier hours, shielded US,
as far as might be, from the rude storm.
Every fibre of the heart clings with ivy
like tenacity to the spirit Pickering to
its last fading ray. What anguish ills
the soul What heartfelt prisons are
poured forth, that the life of the loved
one may be spared. But the Eternal
Wisdom calls that soul away from its
struggles. to final rest. With bleed
ing hearts the afflicted ones pass sadly
under the rod. Parental solicitude
watches with undying interest, the pro-
gress ofits embodied love After many
years. the prodigal wandercr may return
to yield his last breath, where, surroun-
ded by dear associations, he drew the
first. Who shall say that there is no
aifliction there? Look to Greenwood.

led treasures of many a heart. Over
that small mound. where roses bloom in
strange beauty. bends form convulsed
with grief. Some few months ago, a
little cherub lay in that mothers lap,
giving back smile for smile. and flash
ing from the orbs that had borrowed
the hues of their narive Heaven, glad
hopes for the future. Now it sleeps
Torn from the arms that entwined it,
covered with the cold earth, a prey to

Lola Montez on Lovers,

Lola delivered a lecture in New York
recently. on the Comic Aspects OF
Love-" wherein her own experience en-
ables her to speak by the card" She
certainly has acted up to her own pre-
cept that married people ought TO part
as often as possible, and stay apart as
long as possible!" She has been mar
ried to something less than a dozen
men. having parted with each, and is
now apart from all Of them. Lola is
emphatically .Jast one.
She said that most Of those present
had. perhaps, experienced the signing
side Of love. There was kind of me-
taphysical love that began with the first
sigh and ended with the first kiss.
We must look among the higher clas-
ses for the bes; specimens Of sentimen-
tai. signing love. In this country a
cobbler might place his shanty beside
the mansion of the millionaire in Fifth
Avenue; and if the millionaire was not
careful the cob5ler would make love to
his wife and if he did it was no matter,
for at any rate the millionaire was sure
to make love to the cobbler's wife,

Laughter. The story of the estab-
lishment of the Order Of the Garter,
shows what a tremendous institution a
gsrter is, in the hands of love and

there was q religious sect called the
Lovers League. The members were
bound to clothe themselves thickly in

ANEcDorE OF SAMUEL LovER.-While

engers that the author Of "Handy
Andy" was in their midst, and one af-
ter another inquired out the '.lion" and
was introduced to him, until nearly all
the passengers had had something to
say to the distinguished composer and
author. One night. Mr.. Lover was
pressed to "sing some of his pretty
songs" He at tirs. declined, but the
ladies set in. and he had to yield. Seats
were arranged, an audience collected,
and Mr.. L. seated at the piano. During
the evenings entertainment he sang his
"Widow Machree." and it so happened
that two interesting-though rather un-
sophistocated-widows were present.
His acting, as we'll as singing, in this
song. was capital, aud the widows took
it to heart. and could not resist the i'm
preston that the singer was addressing
mu,h in the song to them, "for," said
one Of them afterwards, che looked right
at me Iknow IWushed, and he mast
hare noticed H"' The other widow was
equally positive that the singer cast
"sheep's eyes, at her, for whenever
she looked that way he bowed his head
just as if he knew her, This was too
good to be lost, and it was told to Mr..
Lover. when coolly remarked that he
had found the Widow Machree in every
place he had visited in America, and he
had also found that she was less obsti-
nate, and more susceptible. in this coan>
try than she was in Ireland.

Bring me the flowers of springs first bloom,
Bring me the roses Of sunny June
Bring autumn's bright gifts they're precious boon
Bright beautiful leaves 20 fado too soon.
Bring me spring flowers to dock my hair,
That shades brow that Is pale and fair.
Bring me the rose to wear on the treast-
Der an aching heart that knoweth no rest.
Bring autumns bright leaves at her feet to strew
All crimson aud sod their radiant hue,
They will hide the rough path, they will cover the
thorns;
And cheer the lone heart that Is weary and worn.
When winter comes, when his cold breath chills
Let the hand Of Art try her magic skill,
Aud like natures fair gifts would have her weave,
wreath Of spring flower OF roses or leaves.
Yc bright things Of earth what name would ye bear
or all our fair gifts yc arc the most fair,
sundrops of love from the One Great Giver
Bright beautiful flowers I'd be with you ever.

Loss $500, 600 We are indebted to the
Marysville Express for the following par

At 5 O'Clock, p. M. New Years Day,
the fire broke out 10 the ST. Charles Ho-
tel, aud in an hour aud a half Main street,
as far up as the upper Plaza, together
with Bridge street, Commercial street, as
far as the Methodist Church, was a black
ened pile of ruins. The Court House
aud dwelling houses ON Durgan Flat were
saved, also the upper part of Main street.
The new Congregational Church aud Fra
ternity Hall are destroyed the Sierra
Citizen Office and Sierra Democrat cfice,

buildings; the Catholic Church was on
fire several times but was saved with diff
ficulty; also the dwelling of Mr.Langton,
which was within one hundred yards of
one hundred kegs of powder belonging to
Eastman & Co, which exploded.
The explosion was heard Is miles dis

serious accident occurred.

SUPPOSED STRENGTH OF H MoRmoNs.
Various calculations lave been going
the rounds of the papers of late as TO the
estimated number of the Mormous in
Utah, and the armed force which they
could possibly bring into the field against
the United States troops. Hitherto the
estimates seem to have been greatly ex-
aggerated. The Sacramento Union gives
the following on the subject:
According to the United States census
of 1850, the whole Mormon population
men, women and children-amounted to
1885. In 1852, from the minutes of
the Mormon General Conference, it ap-
pears hat the population had increased
6,s5I, making the total 1926. Taking
the same ratio of increase, we have the
whole Mormon population, in ST, amount,
ing to 1912. Taking out of the rcla-
tive proportion of children which existed
in 1853, with the increase of population,
say 5000, we have left %, 600. Deduct
from this amount one half for the women,
the same proportion that existed in 1853,
aud there remains II 600 fighting men,
including those somewhat advanced
This 10 arabably the whole lighting strength
of the Mormons.

SURPLUS WHEAT IN CANADA.-The
Toronto Colonist, in a statistical article
on the grain crops of Canada West, states
that the surplus wheat on HAND is not less
han 5000, 600 of bushels, and that no
facilities exist, unless they are by the
Gran1 Trsnk Railway, for the exporta-
ton of this produce. Hitherto Canada
has had purchasers for its surplus wheat
IN every fontier town of the United States,
and, indeed, purchasers in the New Eng
land States, and New York haye regulat-
ed prices in Canada; but this year the
United States itself has a surplus crop,
Irobably better saved than that of Can
ada. This occurrence, 50 fortunate for
the United States, is the means of lock
iug up in Canada for the present some
two millions sterling worth of produce,
for which there seems to be no outlet.
