The Sskiyou Chronicle requests us not TO send
tho smallpox up there, because it would worry
the Yreka people SO nightly. The doctors in
form US that the consequent worriment is not
nearly SO bad as that of the itch. We advise the
Ohronicle to "catch it," if possible It's said to be
an excellent thing to taper off on, after more ex-

reduced in malignity when brought in contact
with iRfantile bovines, and Yreka might drive
a profitable trade in vaccine matter without con-

DISTURBED DEVoTIoNs.--We went to church one
night-it is, undoubtedly, the duty of everybody
to 90 to church-and among the well-dressed and
devout congregation we discovered an individual
who was i'll at ease under the mnistratons oil
the Word-so much so, that we lost most OF our
share in watching and sympathizing with his i'll
concealed af1liction, He was respectfully dressed,
and accompanied a lady, who, if travelling in
fashionable attire, will have difficulty in getting
in at the " straight and narrow gate" that is, If
the gate be so narrow as represented; in fact, she
had difficulty in entering the spacious church
pews without reducing the circular extension
irons to an oblong. But her companion, he was
the afflicted one, on the present occasion. He
was exercised by some mysterious agent, which
forbade his remaining in one position long at
time His face often changed expression, as
though he were the victim of hidden rheuma-
tism, gnawing like worm in the bud He look
ed down- and, evidently, felt bad Per
haps, thought we, the fair young creature beside
him may remind him, by her presence, of broken
VOWS, and of the deadening hopes of some trust
ing watcher, whose young ,ove, growing old bids
defiance unto time and strengthens as a9tumn
leaves come down to lay their brown cheeks be-
side their predecessors. May be
"The voice of woman, forever
Runs, sobbing, after his soul !"
Perhaps the words of the preacher fall like bis
ering fire on some sn-spot, hidden from the
world Probably he has weighed some oommod-
tv, for a poor washerwoman, with an uneven
balance Possibly he has boen q member of the
legislature May be he has ndorsed for friend
and the note will be due tomorrow, and he can
not assign his property on Sunday-or it may be
he has forgotten to bring bH to drop in the CON
trbution box for the decent maintenance Of the
gospel. All these specnlations occupied our
mind so that we lost the thread of the preacher S
discourse, and we had to cut across lots to get ill.,
in time for the doxology. Still the mans unea-
siness increased to the evident annoyance of his
companion, who looked at him as much as to say:
" Scat, my dear BE still !"
But how could he be still, If she had known
the consuming monster that was preying on his
peace? His fingers moved convulsiyey, and
drops of sweat stood on his forehead, until the
benediction relieved his suierngs.
We have since learned the causes of his extra
ordinary behavior. lie had u flea in his boOt-ieg

But, softly we recollect more We remember
a pale, scholarly man, who came down by the

the pale man. the boy had not tasted and the
pale man was a Methodist, and we were the boy
We recollect, too, Of hearing among the many
voices of petition one Of intercesslon for u.s. and
when she who prayed had gone from earth' the
omnpresence of u mothers influence followed us
down the crooked avenues of life, and in the In
tensity of dreary night and among the soIitudes
of the far west, fell about us as gently as the dis
tillatons on Herman. And if, this hour, an an

for earthward flight, she will carry up through
the causeway of stars the tidings that her admo-
ntions still linger, distinct and orotund in the
