HoT AND CoLD.-Dan Marble was
once strolling along the wha-ves in Bos-
ton, where he met tall, guant figure, a
"digger" from California, and got into
conversa.ion with him.
"Healthy climate, l suppose ?"
Healthy? 1t amt anything else
Why stranger, there you can choose any
climate you like, hot or cold, and that
without travelling more than fifteen min
u.es. Just think O. that the next cold
morning when you get out of bed There's
mountain there, with valley on each
side of it, The one hot and the other cold.
Well, get on the mountain with a double
barrelled gun, and you can without NOV
ing, kill either summer or winter game,
just as you will p'
"What, have you ever tried it"
"Tried it! often, and should have done
pretty well, but for one thing. 1 wanted
q dog that would stand both climates.
The last dog I had froze off his tail while
pointin' on the summer side. He didn't
get entirely out Of the winter side, you

SCENES AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

A few days ago a very interesting scene
took place at the usual crowded reception
of the Presidet. Applications were ap-
preaching Mr.. johnson, each with his
case ready; after briefly stating which,
and a record being made Of it by the pri-
vsts secretary, way was made for others.
In the line was Mr.. Banks, an enterpris-
ing young merchant of New York, and
his fiiend Mr.. Kervan, of Petersburg, a
leading miller, who applied for pardon
coming as he did within the twenty
thousand dollar or thirteenth clause Of the
amnesty proclamation. As soon as the
President saw Mr.. Banks he recognized
him, asked him his business, and hearing
that it was to ask pardon for Mr.. Ker-
van, he took note Of it, and told him,
sr,ilingly, he would hear from him in the
morning. The reason why the President
recognized the young New Yorker is best
explained by the following narrative: In
April of 1861, sfter the Senate of the
United States sdjourned, Mr.. Banks wa,
going from Washington to the South, on
the railroad running BY Cord onsville
and Petersburg. At his side was very
pleasant person, who convsrscd freely on
the different topics Of the hour, and fin
ally asked him to change $50 gold
piece, which be did. When the cars
stopped at Gordcnsville there was 4 great
and exciting crowd assembled. They at
once demanded, and sent their number
into the train to see whether Andy John
son Was on board p' Lets hear from
him." "Drag him out.' At this mo-
ment the gentleman at the side of NJ
Banks, arose, and was walking to the plat.
foIm to show himself, when the engineer
started the train and dashed off at his bes,
speed. His companion was Andrew Jchn.
son As he took his seat, Mr. Bank.
asked him where he was going. He said
To my home at Greeaville, Tenn" II
am glad We got off from those gentleman
Governor" said Banks. II ar sorry,'
said johnson 81 want to tell them what
I thought Of secession" Mr.. Banks ther
asked the Governor if he vas armed. The
reply was in the negative; when the
New Yorker handed one of his fine re
volvers to the Tennessee Senator, ard
they soon afterwards parted to meet a few
days ago in the Presidential mansion
Banks has his gold piece to this dag. TIE
next morning he was fent for, and as the
President met him he said; 81 have of
ten thought of you, Mr.. Banks. YOU
gave me pistol that might have saved
my life. l now give your friend, Ker
van, pardon to start him in business"

A SCENE IN FUTURE.

IN lecturer recently delivered at
Chicago, Grac ce Gresnw bod adverted to
scene that will doubtless one day be
common one. Speaking Of the future Of
cur country, she drew a picture that
probably many that read these words may
live to see:
We may picture to ourselves a group
of noble young lads. some ten years hence.
thus proudly accounting for their orphan
age-an orphanage which the country
should see to i, shsl; not be desolate.
Says one, "My father fell in beating
back the invaders at Gettysburg" Says
another, "My father iel! on Lookout
Mountain, fighting above the clouds
Says a third, "My father suffered Mar.
tyrdom in Libby Prison" Says another.
Ny father went down in The Cumber-
land;" yet another, "My father vas
rocked into the long sleep below the wave
in the iron cradle of the Monitor. -
And there will be hapless lads who will
listen in mournfu. envy, saying in their
secret hearts-"Alas, We have no part or
los in such sloryings. Our fathers we're
rebels ' And here and there q youth
more unfortunate, will steal away from
his comrades and murmur in bitterness
of soul, .'Ah, God help me My father

HARD TO PLEASE.

The New York Daily Nsus writes
The working classes Of the South are
exposed more than those Of this section
at present ere, to the pressure Of negro
competition. The equality of the two
begnies its assertion there, in form
more threatening to the white laborer
than even iu the case Of the North. The
progress of the struggle at the South may
therefore be watched by the working
classes here as a study Of what is, as
yet, but in progress Of development,
among themselves
1t is difficult to satisfy men who are
determined to grumble. We have been
confidently assured, at different times, By
the Daily Ne~s and its friends, the ma.

A BEAUTIFUL DEED.-A young off,

ade 1t was in one Of those forced
marches when they had driven back the
enemy and had been in the saddle for
several consecutive days and nights, that
this trooper availed himself of tempo
rary halt, to slip from his saddle and
stretch himself upon the turf-his horse
meanwhile, browsing in the immediate
vicinity. He had slept for some little
time, wheu he was suddenly awakened by
the frantic paving of his horse at his side.
Fatigued by his long ride, he did not
rouse at once, but lay in that partially
conscious state which so frequently at
tends grea. physical prostration. Soon,
however, the faithful animal perceiving
that its efforts had failed to accomplish
their object, licked his face, and placing
its mouth close to his ear uttered loud
snort Now thoroughly awake, he spring
up, and as he turned for him to mount, he
saw for the first time that his comrades
had all disappeared, and the eterny were
coming down upon him at full gallop.-
Once mounted, the faithful beast bore
him with the speed of the wind safely
from the danger and soon placed him
among his companions, "Thus," he add
ed with emotion, "the noble fellow saved
me from captivity, and perhaps from
death. ."-Journal of Commerce.
