AN EXCHANGE PROPOSED.

WANTED To exchange good Brandy for a
neat Cottage and Lot in Il desirable part of
the city, suitable for a small family.
The above appeared in morning
paper, and furnishes text for cXtcn-
Sivc comment and much reflection
These changes are going on daily, and
not only are cottages and lots being
exchanged for brandy, but farms,
ranches, mining claims, fortunes, con-
stitutlons, regulations and lives are
being daily exchanged for brandy.
We leave the reader to follow in his
own imagination and ask him to re-
tlect.-P0cifc, San FranciSco.
Exchanges OF the kind spoken OF
by our California contemporary arc
almost as common hcrcabouts as in
the Golden State. There are hundreds
Of establishments along our streets
which are opened for and sustained
by that business. They are called
Coffee Houses" SalOons,' Res,
taurants," etc but the names, like the
curtains and blinds which they keep
over the windows and before the
doors, are used to hide from the publ,
the real nature of the transactions
They should be compelled to hang ou
a sign, proclaiming what they reall,
do. 1t runs something as follows

CHILDHOOD.

Drawing pictures ON the slate,
Making houses out of cards,
Solving riddles all cIatc,
Pccping in the ncighhors wards:
Such is part of childhood's game,
Innocent of wealth or fame
Blowing pencil dust away,
Some pcrchIncc may meet the eve
Looking out for market day,
When comes home an extra pic:
Such is part Of chidhood's fun.
Ere the growing time is done.
On all fours about the room.
PersOnating cats and mice.
Saying of the wcavurS loom.
Don t it match the CARPET nice 30
FAIRY wcavCrS, still themselves.
Dancing like the ancient elves.
Nodding when the prayer is long,
And the eyes are rubbed in vain;
In the morning up with song,
Holding hands to catch the rain.
Tom, come in You rOguish Will,
Go to school, and there be still.
Life a holiday of sweets,
Care a blucbeard not yet known;
Every day its joy repeats,
Rapture in one even tone.
Who that mourn would wish to cloud
Who that fairy land would shroud.
Hard their destiny who creep,
Through childhood full of gloom,
Sad awake and sal asleep,
Buried in living tomb,
Old before their spring is she'd
Gray at heart ere nom las fed.

and the souls of men. In exchange
he will give rum, swcctcncd with su-
gar, favored with lemon and nutmeg
rum in all its forms, and under all
It's various names.
Our terms arc most liberal, for We
will give glass of rum as long as
our customer has half dime to pay,
or rag Of cloth to pawn--wc will
take the wirc's garments or the child
rcn's bread anything that we can
turn INTO money VIC will receive for
rum. Our attention to business is un-
imtcrmitted. Late at night, and all
day Sunday, we are read y to attend
to the wants of our customers. Even
while their families are shivcring and
starving at midnight we will stay in
our dcns to crafty those who wish to
deal with us--to fire up their passions,
and send them home in fine demon
lac phrcnzy.
".ts an evidence of tie thorough
and satisfactory manner in which we
do our business, permit us to add that
those who commence exchanging with
lis seldom leave as long rs they have
strength to call to our counter, or any
thing to spend when they get there.
If you could sec the palsird, tottcr-

cvcrything-farms, stores, homes,
health, food, clothing, character and
their hopes Of heaven, AMI who still
come to us whenever they can buy,
borrow or steal a few pennies, you
would not doubt for moment that we
are among the most popular of bro
kcrs. Thousands have dealt with us
III spite Of all the cntrcatcs and ci-
forts Of ministers, lecturers on tenn
pcramcc, friends, wives, children
nothing but death could keep him from
the destinations Of our exchange.
Come, then, yc who have lands,
houses, domestic happiness, peace
Of conscience, hopes Of hcavcn-any-
thing that is precious come to our
counter, and we will take it fIom yUu
and give yuu rum.'

But that dutiful daughter was to all
appearances, innocent as Il sucking
dove. She soothcd the old lady by
representing that it might be one Of
the ncighbors, who, having drank too
much, had mistaken the house and
the housewife. She searched the en-
try for the missing spcctaclcs, dropped
in the scutllc /; rc-arranGCd the rumplcd
cap border; wound up the tangled
yarn; stirred the lirc-all in the most
amiabIc manner possible - and at
length had the satisfaction of seeing
her mother subside into the chair with
her accustomed tranquility.
Mrs. Thomas was fuIly awake now
She had q new idea in her head, and
instead Of settling her head for anoth-
CT nap, she pursued the train Of thought
and her knitting, both at the same
time, with wonderful rapidity. At
length, stopping and looking kecnly
at Hctty--
suppose it's queer notion Of
mine, llctty, but I've notion that
man was 'Siah IIawIcy."

up then! You might have lit can
die by it. These incipicnt symptoms
did not escape the wary imquisitor.

whiskcrs were 50 much like his'n, and

his great paws :"
llctty was wonderfully busy. She
bent over her work, and drew the
needle through So quickly that tho
thread snapped, and then she was So
engaged in threading her needle again
she didn't have time to answer
." don't think that kiss was meant
for me, after all. Wonder who it
was intended for and wonder if you
don't know something about it, llct-
ty?"

Yes, you, IIctty You was NIGH

Oar little schcmcr, thus adiurcd,

delight in rcltcarSimg the story when
ever all parties interested happened
to be present He would shake his
fat sides at Josiah's discontinue, and
his witc's tart replies, and lletty would
join him, and both would laugh until
the tears ran down their cheeks.
