New DoDGE.-The Sacramento Union tells
a good story of an expedient resorted to by some
"bummers" in that city to obtain Stree drinks" !"
Having divested themselves oftheir coats on the

their shrt-seeves and entered drinking saloon
with the air of gang of men who had stolen

sooner were their glasses filed than confeder-

overseeing their operations, and berated them
soundly for leaving their work to indulge in al
coholic beverages. He was, however, persuaded

SALE OF CIRcAssIAN GrRLs-The London
Post thus speaks in recent number, of the traf-
nc In Circassian girls in Turkey:
Perceiving that when the Russians shall have
re-occupied the Caucasus, this traffic in white
slaves will be over, the Circassian dealers have
redoubled their efforts, ever since the commence
ment of the peace conferences, to introduce into
Turkey the greatest possible number of women,
while the opportunity of doing so lasted. They
have been SO successful, that never, perhaps. at
any former period, was white flesh so cheap as
at this moment. There is an absolute gut in
the market, and dealers are obliged to throw
away their goods, owing to the extent of the
supply, which in many instances has been
brought by steam under the British flag In

Senator from that state was first candidate
for office he visited frontier county, in which
he was, except by reputation, a stranger Hear
ing that trial for felony would take place in a
few days, he determined to volunteer for the de-
fence. The prisoner was charged with having
stolen pistol; the defence was not guilty. .
The volunteer counsel conducted the defence
with great ability. He confused the witness.
paiasered the court and made an able, eloquent
ana successful argument The prisoner was ac-
quitted-he had not stolen the pistol. The coun-
sci received the enthusiastic applause of the au-
dience. His innocent client availed himself of
the earliest interval in the hurricane of congrat-
ulations to take his counsel aside. ssMv dear
sir, said he, lyon have saved me, and | am
very grateful. have no money, do not expect
to have any, and do not expect to see you again:

The Race OF Life.

Nothing strikes one more, in the race of life,
than to see how many give out in the first half
of the course. Commencement day always re-
minds me of the start for the Derby when the
beautiful high-bred three-year olds of the sea-
son are brought up for trial That day is the
start, and life is the race Here we are at Cam
bridge, and class is just graduating" Poor

has paid forfeit; step out here into the grass
back of the church; ah there it is:

But this is the start, and here they are-coats
bright as silk, and nianes as smooth as eau lus-
traie can make them. Some of the best of the
colts are pranced round, few minutes each, to
show their PAGES What is the old gentleman
crying about? and the old lady by him, and the
three girls, all covering their eyes for? Oh, that
is their colt that has been trotted up on the
stage. Do they really think those little thin
legs can do anything in such slashing sweep

Oh, this terrible gift of second-sight that comes
to some of US when we begin to look through
the sivered rings of the arcus senilis!

The music is waiting behind the strings

They paint themselves on the hollow air =
The tranquil eyes, the pale gold hair,
The shadowy features forever fair,
The dear lips always dumb:

press rare bracelets on the wrist:
| clasp the vague, unanswering hands;
kiss the brow of mocking mist:
toy with the heavy-seeming tresses;
My poor voice tnembles while it blesses.
Sweet vision think not yet of flyngi
But it dies before the bold bright day;
Like tune forgotten it faints away,
And my soul is left oppressed and numb,
With the voice of sad and bitter CRYING
When will the dear one come?
My heart is furnished banquet-hall.
The lights like benedictions fall
On cleaning goblet and pictured wall
The minstrels are ready, the seats are placed,
With stately service the board is graced,
The servants stir with silent haste,
And some are scattering flowers, and some
From the easements search the desolate waste
And |, stand alone at the door
And my wistful eyes brimming DER

The Beginning of the World.

The following extract from sermon of Mr..
Spurgeon, the Pious English preacher is a spe-
cimen of the eloquence which within year or
two has made his name familiar in both hemis-
pheres
Can any man tell when the beginning was
Years ago we thought the beginning of the world
was Adam came upon it; but we have dscoy-
cred that, thousands of years before that, God
was forming chaotic matter to make it fit abode
Tor man, and putting races of creatures upon it.
that they might die and leave traces o. his han.
diwork and marvellous skill, before he tried his
hand on man. But this was not the beginning,
for revelation points us to a period long ere this
world was fashioned--to the days when the
morning stars were begotten when, like drops
OF dew from the fingers, the morning stars and
consultations fell trickling from the hands of
God when, by his own lips, he launched forth
ponderous orbs; when with his own hand, he
sent forth comets like thunderbolts, wandering
through the sky to find one day their proper
sphere. We go back to those days, when worlds
were made and systems were fashioned, and we
have not even approached the beginning yet.
Until we go back to the time when all the
universe slept in the mind of God, as vet unborn.
until we enter the eternity where God the Crea-
tor dwells alone, everything sleeping within
hlm, all creation sleeping in his mighty, gigantic
thought, we have not guessed the beginning
We may go back, back, back, ages upon ages
We may go back, if We use such words, whole
eternities, and yet never arrive at the beginning
Our wing might be tired, our imagination might
die away. Could it outstrip the lightnings
flashes in majesty, power and rapidity it would
soon weary itself ere it could reach the begin
ming. But God, from the beginning, chose his
people, when the unnavigable ether was yet un-
famed by the wing of single angel, when space
was shoreless, or else unborn when universal
silence reigned, and not voice or whisper
shocked the solemnity of silence, when there
was no being, no emotion, and nought but God
himself alone in his eternity when, without the
attendance of even cherubim, long ere the living
creatures were born, or the wheels of the chariot
OF Jehovah were fashioned; even then, in the
beginning was the word. and in the beginning
Gods people were one in the word and in the
beginning he chose them all unto eternal life.'n

John Anderson, MY 10.

This exquisite ballad constructed bv Robert
Burns out of different and somewhat excep-
uonable lyric, has always left something to be
wished for and regretted; it is not complete.
But who would venture to add to a song of
Burns? As he left it, it runs thus.
John Anderson, my jo, John,
When we were first acquent;
Your locks were like the raven,
Your bonnie brow ives brent
But now your brow is bald, John,
Your locks are like the snaw:
But blessings on your frosty DOW,
John Anderson my 10.
John Anderson, my 10, John,
We clamb the hill thegither
And mony canty day, john,
We've had wi ane anither,
Now we maun totter down, John.
But hand in hand we'll 90,
And sleep thegither at the foot,
John Anderson, my jo.
Fine as this is. it does not quite satisfy a con-
templative mind when one has gone so far, he
looks and longs for something more-some-
thing beyond the foot Of the hill. Many a reader
of Burns must have felt this and it is quite
probable that many have attempted to supply
the deficiency; but, says the Home Journal. we
know of only one success in so hazardous an
experiment. This is the added verse;
John Anderson, my jo, John,
When we have slept thegither
The sleep that a maun sleep, John,
Well wake wi'ane anther:
And in that better warld John.
Nae sorrow shall we know, =, Ae-AF
Nor fear we eer shall part again,
John Anderson, my jo.
Simple, touching, true-nothing wanting and
nothing to spare; precisely harmonizing with
the original stanzas, and improving them by the
fact of completing them. This poetical achieve
ment is attributed to Mr.. Charles Gould, gem
tleman of New York
