CoNrRABAND.-The following story is told
by Wheeling( virginia) paper about two
contrabands, servants Of General Kelly and
Capt. George Harrison When the General
and his staff were on their way up the noun.
tain they stopped at a little village to get
something to eat. They persuaded the occupant
of the farm house to cook them a meal and
in order to expedite matters, sent the two
contrabands mentioned to assist in prepar-
ing the repast. After it was over the Gcner.
al told the negroes to help themselves. An
hour or two afterward he observed them
gnawing away at some hard crackers and
fitch.
Why didn't you get your dinner at the
village?' asked the General of one of them
+" Well, to tell de Gods trufe, General, i
wos too cussed dirty I" was the reply.
The Shasta courier., 1863-01-24
A Jasper Cave.

| A correspondent of the Boston Transcript,
who is the Typographical Engineer Of New
| Hampshire, states that one Of the most won
derful geological discoveries ever made round
the VIII te Mountains, has just been brought
to the notice of scientific men. Two young
men of Berlin Falls, in sliding down the
cliffs of rugged mountain, two miles from
that town, f0unl the entrance to an enor-
nous cave, the existence of which was un-
known before. VIM. d. Sanborn, noted
guide in that region, made thorough explo
ration of it, asing candles to light his way.
Finding it a beautiful mineral of bright color,
he reported the fact, and the cave was visited
by Mr.. Z. s. Brown, a mineralogist, who
found the entire cave was made Of jasper, Of
magnificent color and quality. The entrance
is so small that man can barely enter on
his hands and knees.
About ten feet from the entrance it is nine
feet high and fifteen wide, opening into fine
apartment sixty feet in length, formed Of
jasper Of a delicate blue ash color, striped
with fire red, SO exquisitely beautiful as to
draw exclamations Of surprise and admira-
tion from the dullcst students of nature.
But the wonders Of the cave do not lie in
The fact that it is formed, but in tie fact that
the long disputed question is now settled
where the Indians Of New England got their
Jasper to make their arrow heads. 1t has
never been known until now where this jas
per Of blue color. which they used, came
from. There can be no doubt that the In
dians, hundreds of years since, commenced
the work of clipping off pieces, and continu-
ed their work until cavern sixty feet in ex-
tent was cut out Of the rock, for the top and
sides of the cave all shcw that it has been
chipped in many thousand PLACES. In many
places the vein of jasper has been cut to its
intersection with the esgranite, and the work
stopped. An Indian axe and tomahawk
were found in the bottom of the cave, such
as were used during the French and Indian
wars, when the Pequawhets, Peacooks, and
Androscogging wandered in this beautiful
region-in which their savage implements
are now found in great abundance. Berlin
Falls is in Coos county, New Hampshire,
within an hours ride Of Gorham.
The Shasta courier., 1863-01-24
"Sam.' y said a late mn;ster to his man

"Sam," said late m7Aister to his man
ofall-work, you must bottle the cask o.
whiskey this forenoon but as the vapor from
the whiskey may be injurious, take glass
Of it before you begin, to prevent intcxica
tion." Now Samuel was an old soldier, and
never was. in better spirits than when bet
tlling whiskey : and shaving received from
his master a special license to taste, went Il
work most heartily. Some hours after tho
minister visited the cellar to inspect progress,
and was Mortified to find Sam lying his full
length on the floor unconscious Of all around
20, Sam ~ said the minister, g you have
not taken my advice, and you see the conse-
quence. Rise, Sam, and take glass yet
it may restore you." Sam, nothing 10th
took the glass from the minister's hand, and
having emptied it said,
80, sir, this is the thirteenth glass I've

Ten persons die prematurcly OF too much

themselves into fever, bowel disease. dyspep.

Some years ago, the residents Of German
city were one morning wild with excitement.
Eyerythinp waspoisoned. The doctors were
fiying in every direction. Water was the on
ly thing they had swallowed in common
The reservoir was examined. In one corner o
paper of deadly poison was found.
Tie stomach is the reservoir which sup
plies the whole body. A fever, an inf1am-
nation, or some other nalady appears. Look
o the reservoir There you will find the
source of the disease.

The body is strengthened by what it can

than this is mischievous. The large eater is
always hungry. TIE man who can eat just
enough suffers little from hunger.

4 Home scene.

Y Come, let as prll the curtains down,
And lay the work aside,
And gather up the playthings
You've scattered far and Wide;
And place the lamp upon the stand,
Beside the great arm chair,
And bring ont the last new magGine
And cut the leaves with~care.
Now heap the coal upon the CRATE
He luves cheerful fire
See how the flames da1ce merrlly,
And leap up high and higher
Now place his slippers on the rug,
Aud get his dressing gown;
For papa will be tired and cold
When he comes back from town.
Come, let us bathe your glowing checks,
Aud make your hair look neat,
And put your bright pink apron on
There. now, you re clean and sweet
Now sit down on the little bench
That grandpa made, and see
How sill you'll be while good mama
Goes lay the cloth for tea.
The tea kettle sends forth its hum,
The biscuit are SO light;
i wish he d come, it seems to me
He's rather lai- tonight
Harki wasn't that our gate that clicked?
Hurrssh = shouts little Will,
And ere I've time to tell him hush,
He's bounded Ger the sill.
And :. pspa'S cosnel' he shouts again,
And climbs up for q kiss:
And !" papa's tuIn. Oh, papa's tum r
Echoes his liltie sis.
Oh HAPPY group taat live and love
Within that humble cot;
Many who dwell inpalsces
Might envy them their lot.
