Wanderings of a Printer.

The Madison argus d Democrat, gives
the following sketch of printer-a for
mer residen. of that place-who is we'll
known to U.s. We will add, from our own
knowledge, that "JUD." is genius. The
argus says:
All of the printers Of the city and most
of the citizens, will remember George w.
Stone, more Familiarity known as Jud.,
who for many years was hand on the
ARGUS. About Is months ago, Jud., in
company with several other printers left
here for the purpose of establishing a
newspaper in Cherry Creek, now Denver
City. Like many other newspaper enter
prises it busted up, and Jud put out on his
own hook. He was with Langrishe's the
atrical company, performing throughout
Western Kansas. He was then engaged
in the United States service as teamster,
and in this capacity visited Fort Union,
nearly thousand miles southwest of Leav-
enworth, Jud speaks in the most extrava-
gent terms of the beauties Of Smoky Hill,
Saline and Solomon Valleys, says the pra-
tries of Wisconsin are Saharas compared
with those wild and lovely spots, which is
now the paradise of hunters But between
these favored localities and civilization is a
wide and, at the present time, owing to
the dronth, arid strip of territory. Buffalo,
elk, antelope, coyote, thieving Indians, and
oullawed, white men are the principal
game in that country.
Jud reports that a large number of
Pixies Peakers are now returning from the
mines, sick with the mountain fever, and
many of them in most wretched copdi-
ton.
Among the spoils brought home BY Jud
is regular war rig of a Kiowa brave, con-
sisting Of a bois dare bow and CULVER of
iron pointed poisoned arrows. Jud has
been blest with most excellent health all
the time of his absence.

With all the hope of future years,

Who made each mast, and sail, and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what forge and what heat
Were shaped the anchors OF thy hope?

And not rent made By the gale,
In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
In spite Of false lights on the shore,

The Beach.

A pink-hued shell thrown up upon the sand =
A pearl-set ring;-
A slender hand
Waving toward the land,
So white,
That in the light
II flashed like g sea-bird's wing!
A tangled bunch of weed, from reefs below
A golden chain;
A breast of snow,
Where it would CLEAN and glow,
Raised from the bosom like swelling vein;
Or, knotted lily,
Like the yellow cone
In the cup of water-lily
A trunk, unfastened, and its cover wide;
Ribbons and lace;
The glass beside
With modest look of pride,
A form
With heart so warm,
It glowed in her bushing face.
A broken spar, with jagged, splintered end
parted rope;
A boat (the friend
That might some safety lend,
Or from despair raise up spark of hope,)
Keel upward lying, .
All wrecked,
Was each moment f1ecked
With the white foam shoreward flying.
\ form upon the beach A shuddering prayerl
maiden's corse
All nude and bare,
Save that her flowing hair
Would veil
Yer bosom pale,
Where now no burning passions throb and toss.
The foam was WASHING nm aropnd ber foot
mounI of sand.
Her face so sweet
Looked up as if 'twould meet
The light
Of glances bright
From some one close at hand.
One arm reposes on her rounded breasts
From golden sea
Rise hills with snowy crests;
For here her long hair rests)-
Yet bare,
All white, all fair,
All meekness, chasteness, purity.
o! gently,
Lift her now
Aglistening tear
Has fallen on her brow;
Gently
Slowly now,
Bear her on !
Kindness she needs
Though life, alas! is gone;
Slowly
o sadly
-Nevermore
May sight like this
Be seen upon the shore
Neverl
No Nevermore

"By Thunder, Old Pard, He's Got U.s."


The following good thing is told by the San
Joaquin Republican Of course &C, the hero
of the "legend," can't be Hal Clayton Ger
tainly not-oiherwise the editor would have
said so,-
The happy quietude and and carelessness in
Stockton on q the Senatorial question" was
aroused a few days ago. by the appearance and
words of an individual who boasted that he hac
been " all through the State for ore OF the
wishers for the office of United States Senator
This agent, or runner" is notorious for the
possession of quality which may lie designated
as a loud emptiness of remarkable yeraclty-
When he was telling of the inevitable chances
which he had waylaid tor his favorite, we re-
collected an anecdote concerning him, and which
capitaIy illustrated the ordinary exercise OF the
quality above described.
C-n was on board of Mississippi river
steamboat, with two hundred dollars IN his
pocket and immense wealth inhis imagination
and preparation for statements to whomsoever
be could talk with One day, while endeavoring
10 astonish a number of passengers with his con-
yersation and importance. he remarked:
I've got, now, two thousand dollars IN my
trunk, in my state room.
A listener quickly exclaimed:
an bet you five hundred dollars You havn't."
"Nough said" replied c., as he winked to the
others around him and pulled his two hundred
dollars from his pocket, just put three hnndred
with this, somebody, aud &c in with me on
shares to wiu this mans money-it's a dead
sure thing"
One of the party crednlous enough to put up
thereeuired three hundred, and G. was con-
tinually observing that he had =" dead sure
thing on that lay out The bet was made, and
c. confidently turned toward the questioner of
his veracity and said:
Well, now, stranger, | don't think you'd
better want to lcok into the trunk-you can't
win, you can't win, sir"
The stranger insisted upon seeing the two
thousand dollars, and the party stepped to the
state room: c. approached the trunk, protest
ing
"well, see here. old feller, don't want to
swindle you that way just pay forfeit of a
hundred and we'll let you of"
"No, SIR" shouted the apparent victim. I"
made the bet and I'll be - If don't see it
through"
Again C. approached to unlock his trunk and
again he paused, saying in a most uncomforta-
bic mood
"Oh, don't want to skin man in that shape
pay the drinks for the crowd and we'll give
up the bet"
Again his opponent demanded a regular ter
mnation of the performance, when Cs<-polly sat
down upon the trunk and addressed himself TO
the one who had joined him with three hundred
dollars in the wager
"Welll by thunder, old pard, guess he's got
us!"
