YoUNG AMERICA ON BILLIARDs.-A friend Of

half years of age. Little Tommy" is the i'm
age of his dad, the idol of his ma, and the admi-
ration Of both parents. Recently his father took
him out for y walk, and in passing the Arcade
Saloon, stopped for a few moments to witness
the skill of two amateur players, who, although
their science is not quite equal to that of Phelan
and Serreiter yet attract nearly as much atten-
ton. 1t was critical stage in the game--the
gentleman I" in hand" having only a single shot
to make to win the game. lie got nervous aud
missed it, losing the game and his temper at the
same time. Giving the balls " side wipe with
his cue that scattered them off the table, he ex-
claimed, Well, I'll be id if that don't let me
out on billiards" Little Tommy listened with a
keen interest, After he returned home, he was
amusing himself with three oranges and piece
of a broomstck, in imitation of the game Lay
ing down on the floor he took aim with his cae,
and made an Intellectual effort to carem. Missing
his orange, he made sweeping blow ut them
and jumping up, remarked, =" Well, TH be id

opinion that it would let most any one out, and
thinks that in about two years more his boy
" will do to travel. el."-Narposa Star.

DANIEL WEBsrEB.-The memory of Mr. Web

B@5@ Great attention is paid by all the horti-
cultural and agricultural associations, in every
part Of the Union to the growth of the vine and
the making of wine. Following the example of
the father of mankind, who after the food,
planted a vineyard, the young country makes a
like preparation for its maturity The German
poet gives the reason for this procedure, in
words, of which the following is version Af-
ter the deluge, explanation was made by
Noah on the subject, according to the German,
as follows:
"Then to the Lord old Noah said
The water now tastes very bad
Because there have been drowned therein,
All beasts, and mankind in their sin;
'Tis, therefore, Lord, even think

THE OVERLAND TELEGRAPH LNE.-The Califor-
MIA company engaged in constructing an
overland telegraph between Placeryille, Califor-
MIA, and st. Joseph, Missouri, ara pushing the
work with much energy and spirit Already the
wires are hung to point some distance beyond
Geneo, in Carson Valley, and an earnest effort is
now making to extend them three hundred miles
further during the coming summer. This, over
the route followed, will bring the line within
one hundred miles of the Valley of Great Salt
Lake; and from that point the company propose
to run daily horse express to St. Joseph, thus
bringing San Francisco within ten days com
municstion of the whole Atlantic seaboard.-

The ART OF Nor QUARRELING-SENsBLE HUs-
BAND.-llow is it that we never quarrel, Mrs.
Xantppe2 Well will tell you. You see, for
a quarrel, and especially for good quarrel, is
necessary to have two parties One person can't
make good quarrel. Now, if am in quar-
relsome humor, and brake out, my wife remains
cool and collected, and doesn't say a word. If
my wife is peevish and displays more temper
than is becoming to one of her beautiful sex, I,
her husband, remain unmoved n monu-
ment or else cheat myself into the belief that
am listening for moment, to one of Crisis
heavenly songs. Thus while one party is vol
canically fuming the other is as calm as cold
potato. In all our quarrels, there is in this way
always a controlling power. Seriously we never
quarrel because there is philosophic compact
between US not to quarrel together. We only
quarrel one at a time; and it is astonishing, il
you have quarrel alone, how soon it dies out
That's our secret, Madam, and | should advise
you and all Xantippes to follow it.

The JUAREz GoyERxMESr.-lt will be remem-
bered that the American Minister, Mr. Mclean,
soon after his arrival in Mexico, recognized the
Juarez or Liberal Government, while the Eng
lish and French Ministers sided with the Church
party, and threw every possible obstacle in the
way Of the Liberal party. The latest news from
Washington says;
The British and French Ministers here have
assured our Government, in the most positive
terms that the action of their ministers in Mex
leo is without authority from the home Govern
ment, and that their course will not only be dis
approved, bat severely condemned.
CURIosIrIEs OF THE EARrH-At the city of
Modena, Italy, and about four miles around it,
whenever the earth is dug, when the workmen
arrive at distance Of sixty feet they come
to bed of chalk, which they bore with au-
ger fFe feet deep. They then withdraw from
the pit before the auger is removed, and upon
its extraction, the water bursts up through the
aperture with great violence and quickly fills the
newly made well, which continues full, and is
effected neither by rains nor droughts. But what
is more remarkable in this operation the
layers of earth descend At the depth of
fourteen feet are found the ruins of an ancient
city, paved streets, houses, floors, and different
pieces of mosaic work. Under this is found
soft, oozy earth, made up of vegetables, and at
twenty-six feat deep, large trees, entire, such
walnut trees, with the walnuts still sticking to
the stem, and the leaves and branches in a per-
feet state of preservation. At twenty eight feet
deep, soft chalk, is found, naked with a vast
quantity of shells, and this bed is eleven feet
thick. Under this vegetation it is found again.

Natures. Song in the Night

Night hath its songs. Have you never
stood by the sea at night aud heard the
waves chant Gods glories !?
Or have you never risen from your
couch and thrown up the window of your
chamber and listened ? Listened to what?.
Silence, save now and then a -murmuring
sound, which seems sweet music then
And have you not fancied that YOU heard
the harp of God playing in Heaven p
Did you not conceive that yon stars, that
those eyes of God looking down on YOU,
were also mouths of song-that every
star was singing Gods glory, singing as
it shone its Almighty Maker, aad his law
full, well deserved praise ?
Night hath its songs. I'VE do not need
much poetry in our spirit TO catch the
song of night, and hear the spheres as
they chant praises which are loud to the
heart though they are silent to the ear.
The praise OF the mighty God. who
bears up the unpi!ared arch of Heaven,
and moves the stars in their courses.

himself at the gates Of Heaven, where he
found he had been proceeded by a rich
man of the same locality, VIII had Just

been admitted by the Apostle Peter
The laborer, who stood without. was en-.

appeared to hail the entrance of the
Dives and having knocked in his turn,
was also admitted.

But the greatest document was yet To

long lost son of Charlton. Since the
time he had fed from his house, he. had
been a wanderer until he came to New
York. Here he obtained employment,
but not liking work, he managed to.Get
enrolled with the police, and then he be-

The Turnin FIv.

As the time will soon arrive for sowing
late turnips, werecommend the following
remedies for the 1y that usually preys
upon the turnip to such an extent as 10
often render 1t vailueless.
Ny theory is to have something with
the turnlps that the lily likes better than
they DO the t%urnip; to this end, | frt-;
quently sow several bushels of wheat
bran upon the ground just as the tarnips
begin to vegetate. | have also sown a
spoonful Of black mustard seed 10 the
acre; and find that they will always
leave the turnips to feed upon the mus.
tard.
As both. Of these remedies are easily
tried, your readers will find that the ex.
p,ense will be far less than the advantage
claimed, and we confidently lecommead
them.
