reconnoitre the river, draw the enemy's

their garrison, and generally to divert
their attention from the army move

in her bright eyes, he is dear fellow,

TRUE BEAUTY

You tell me that I'm fading,
Fading, fading fastj
That do not look as beautiful
As in the days long past;
That nay poor cheek has paler grown,
Once like the rod, red rose,
1t tells too plainly and too true
Life's drawing TO a close.
You say my eyes are growing dim,
Alas know tits true,
And that my hair is silverod Ger
J With gray ones not few. as3
know my step is feeble too, .,.4...,
My laugh comes not so free;
But Time brings changes to us all,
Twill bring the same to thee.
But what are outward earthly charms,
When the heart beats still the same2
Then for that worth which fadeth not,
Thy friendship still claim;
And say no more I'm fading fast,
Because I'm growing old,
But look for beauty's lasting charms

DIpTHERIA IN VERMoNT.-The rava-
ges Of diptheria in the northern counties
Of Vermont during the past year, were
terrible. In Lyndon, with a population
of 1900, $50 died-heatly every one a
case of diptheria. Whole families were
swept away. One family Of four chill
dren, with their mother and her sister,
were carried off in the course of a few
days. In Danvile, where the usual list
Of mortality seldom exceeds 80, last year
it went up to $50. A lady living in
Stewartstown, N. H., lost IA cousins in
the town Of Burke. The average length
of sickness was three days, but in many
cases the destroyer did its work in much
less time.

A HosPITAL ScENE.-Amonp tho
many brave, uncomplaining fellows who
were brought from the battle of Freder.

man, or boy rather, of sixteen years, who
belonged to n Northern regiment. He
appeared more affectionate and tender
thar his comrades, and attracted a good
Of attention from the attendant and vis-
itors. Manifestly the pet Of some house
hold, he longcd for nothing so much as
the arrival of his mother, who was ex-
pected, for he knew he was mortally
wounded and failing fast. Ere she ar
rived, however, he died. But he thought
she had come, for while kind lady Wis
itor was wiping the dealh-sweai from his
brow, as his sight was failing, he rallied
little, like the expiring taper in its sock
ct, looked up longinely and joyfully, and
in tho tenderest pathos whispered quito
audibly, I" Is that mother r. in tones that
drew tears from every eve. Then draw.
ing her toward him with all his feeble
power, he nestled his head in her arms
like sleeping infant, and thus died, with
the sweet word mother" on his CULVER
ing lips.

A California Story.

nc " DThWer Oi inc reDfuhfN NUM-
Der of Hdrper's Monthly contains the
following California story, which incu!
Gales a subtle warning against profanity:
In the northern part of this State is
stream called Yuba River. Across it
some cntcrprising individual built "A bridge;
and on the banks somebody else built
three or four houses. The inhabitants
called the place Yuba Dam. Three bars
were erected, and the town" increased
rapidly. About noon ore cool day,
traveller and soourner in the land pass
ed this flourishing locality, and seeing
long legged specimen of humanity, in n
red shirt, smoking before one of the bars,
thus addressed him: t'..
Hello.
Hello" replied the shirt with vigor,
removing his pipe from his mouth.
What place is this?" demanded tho
traveller, whose name was Thompson.
The answer of the shirt was unexpec;-
ed: Yuba Dam"
There was about fifty yards between
them, and the wind was blowing. Mr..
Thompson thought he had been mistaken.
"What did you say?" ne asked.
"Yuba Dam," replied the stranger,
chcerfully.
What place is thisl" roared Thomp-
son.
\" Yu-ba Dam" said the shirt, in
slightly elevated tone.
Look hercw yelled the irato Tbomp-
son al asked you politely what place
this was; why in thunder don't you au-
swerw
The stranger became excited. He
rose and replied with the voice Of an 80
FOUNDER: " Yu Jd Dam! Do you hear
thatY g. .-.
In a minute, Thompson burning with
the wrath of the righteous, jumped of
his horse and advanced on the stranger
with an expression not 10 be mistaken.-
The shirt rose and assumed a posture of
offence and defence, Arriving within q
yard Of him Thompson said:
" | ask you for the last time. What
place is thisl"
Yu-Ja Dam" r.
The next minute they were nj it. First
Thompson was down; then the shirt; and
then it was dog fall. They rolled about
kicking up tremendous dust. They
squirmed around SO energetically that
you'd have thought they had dozen legs
instead of four. 1t looked like n prize
fight between two pugilistic centipedes.
Finally they both rolled off the bank and
into the river The water cooled them.
They went down together but came up
separate, and put out for shore. Both
reached IL about the same time. Thomp-
son scrambled up the bank, mounted his
sieed, and made tracks, leaving his foo
gouging the mud out of one of his eyes.
Having left the business portion Of the
town, that is to say, the corner where the
three bars were Kept, he struck house
in the suburbs, before which little girl
of about four years of age. was playing.
"What place is this, sissyg" he asked.
The little girl, frightened al the drown
ed-rat figure which he cut, streaked il for
the house. Having reached the door shc
stopped, turned, and sqpealed, "Oo-bce

ging his heels between his horses ribs
"Good heavens! let me get out of this
place where not only the men but the very
babes and sucklings swear at inoffensvo
