Brief but Common History.

I saw him first at a social party He
took but single glass of wine, and that at
the request of young lady with whom he
conversed.
saw him next, when he supposed he
was unseen, taking glass to satisfy the
slight desire formed by his social indulgence.
He thought there was no danger.
! saw him again with those of his age,
meeting at night to spend short time in
convivial pleasure. He said it was only
innocent amusement.
I met him next, late in the evening in the
street, unable to reach home. took him
thither. He looked ashamed when we next
met.
I saw him next reeling in the street. a
confused stare was on his countenance, and
words of blasphemy were on his tongue
Shame was gone :
I saw him yet once more. He #as pale,
cold, motionless, and was carried by his
friends to his last resting place. In the
small procession that followed, every head
was cast down, and seemed to shake with
uncommon anguish. So
His fathers gray hairs were going to the
grave in sorrow. His mother wept to think
that she had ever given birth to such child.

We often hear young men, who never did
any hard work in their lives, talk about GO
ing to Pixies Peak. We ask such, what
kind of work they think gold-digging is?
Let them turn out here, and get themselves
into practice by digging wells, cellars. coal,
quarrying rock, mauling rails, and rolling
saw:logs, and eat dry tread and wash if
down with water, and sleep on the ground
n fair weather and foul, and then form an
opinion about the work of digging gold
Digging gold is no ehild's play; and it is
only the strong, able bodied, hard-working
men that will suit for the busines. The
men who succeeded at the mines in Califor-
MIA, were strong of arm, stout of heart, and
only such men can succeed at gold mines.
A bull has just as much business in china
store, as glove-handed clerk or fair-faced
mechanic has at Pixies Peak.-ExehaHgs.

out like savage, or running 70 HIM to lift
him up, lay him at full length on his back

over a person in simple fainting-ft is a
barbarity, and soils the clothing unnecessa-
rily. The philosophy ofa fainting-6t IS,
the heart fails to send the proper supply OF
blood to the brain; If the person is erect,
that blood has to be thrown mp bill, but II
lying down, it has to be projected horizon

ter in anything that is handy. put into 1t q
tea-spoonful of salt and as much ground

" severed artery throws blood out in jets,
and the arteries get their blood from the
heart; hence, to stop the flow, the remedy
must be applied between the heart and the
wounded spot-in other words, above the
wound. If vein had been severed, the
blood would have flowed in regular stream,
and slow, and. on the other hand, the tie
should be applied 6elosO the wound. or on
the other side of the wound from the heart,
because the blood in the veins flows towards
the heart, and there is no need of such q

"They Say"

In the last volume of tGray's Reports,
there is an excellent decision of the Su-
preme Court, which is sound morals as well
as good law. 1t seems that a. woman ut
tered a SANDER of another and, when sued
for it, her defence was that she only repeat
ed what was currently reported that she
had no malice, and therefore was not liable
to an action. Judge Thomas gave capital
opinion, whiehzwe should be glad to print
at length. The story, he says, uttered or re-
peated by the defendant, contains charge
against the plaintiff of a nature to destroy
her reputation. It was false charge. 1t
is no answer in any forum, to say that she
only reported the story as she heard it. If
the story was false and slanderous, she must
repeat it at her peril. There is safety in no
other rule. Often the origin of slander can
not be traced. He who gives it circulation
gives it its powero mischief. 1t is the sue
cessiye repetitions that do the work. A
falsehood often repeated gets to be believed.
A man cannot say there is story in cireu-
lation that A. poisoned his wife, or B. picked
C.'s pocket. and relate the story, and when
called upon to answer, say, ''There was
such report in circulation > I but repeated
what I heard, and had no desire to circulate
or confirm it; - for two very plain reasons
that the repetition of the story must, in
the nature of things, give it currency and
the repetition without the expression of
disbelief, viii confirm it. The danger is an
obvious one. and long since pointed out /;
and it is, that bad men may give currency
to slanderous reports, and then find in that
currency their own protection from the just
consequences of repetition. -
