that his grave was but the tenth one

when looked abroad this evening
over that little wilderness of green
hilloeks, and thought of the many
tears, and breaking hearts that have
been since ! stood there at the burial
of that poor printer long years ago,
it made me feel badly; and was
tempted to say / wouldn't swear

replied that the thought vds
rather solemn one, and that if it
should cause him to break himself of
the ugly habit of swearing, his visit
to the cemetery would turn out to
have been the best Sunday evenings
work he had ever done.
"Ah," said he, "you never acted as

The stars, friend Nettie, were out last night
And the moon was bright on high,
And the silent earth, by the clear cold light
Looked up to the dark, blue sky,
But the fairest spot. on her face 80 white
Was the grove with the brook hard by,
Can you tell. friend Nettie, what might it be-
That the stars looked down on so pleasantly
There stood two forms by that moonlit grove
In the night sir damp and cold, 10.
And one was lovely and meet for love.
And one was Of manly mould;
To the tvinkling stars, in their arcn above,
Was gentle seerettold,
Can YOU say sweet friend, what might it be
Was Whispered last night so tenderly7
A sound, yet not Of q spoken word,
But softer and sweeter in tone,
Like the quick low not Of a strrtled bird
That sleeps on his nest alone,
Once and again that sound was heard,
As OF lips together grown,
Can you guess, friend Nettie, what might 1t be,
That sound that faltered so tenderiyf
l turned away with a sad, chilled heart,
From that haPpiest spot below,
For l felt that was thing apart,
There was none to love me so,
And the one for whom my soul founts start,
Is froward and cold you know,
Can you think, sweet Nettie, who may it be,
That my thoughts will dwell on so heavily

A SONORO STORY.

The following rich story is rela-
ted by a Sonora paper at the ex-
pense of a queer genius who vibrates
from that town and Oregon as lad
vance" agent of concert troupe,
and who, although pretty clever in
selling the curiously inclined, does
not always come off first best:
Frank Rail, travelling in a vehicle
bearing strong resemblance to ped
dler's cart. Old lady rushes out
from a house by the roadside. The
following colloque ensues:
Old lady-Say, what have you got
to sell.
Ball. am a travelling agent,
madam for the greatest menagerie OF
ancient or modern times, which is
shortly to be exhibited in this sec
ton, affording to the inhabitants
thereof an opportunity of viewing
the most stupendous collection of
animals ever before exhibited.
Old Lady-You don't say so.
Have you airy elephant?
Ball-We have, m madame, SIX ele-
plants; but these constitute a com
paratively unimportant part of the
show. We have living specimens
of bipeds and quadrepeds, who
roamed over the earth not only in
the antediluvian, but also in the
pliocene and postmiocene period,
embracing the megatherium with
six legs and two tails; the ichthyosau-
rus, with four eyes and three tails;
the gyasticutus, with no eyes, two
noses and four tails; the plesiossorus,
resembling Satan in shape, which
spits fire and breathes sulphur, and
many other species too numerous for
enumeration. We have also pious
lawyer
Old Lady-Well, I declare!
Ball-But, madam, the greatest
curiosity by far of our exhibition is
a learned and classicaly educated
monkey, who was brought up Mo
hamedan priest in the mysterious
regions of the great Desert of Sahara.
This monkey speaks with 6uency all
the modern languages, besides Latin,
Greek and Hebrew. He can repeat

MFNT

MEN
WASHINGTON, Oct, 10.-The 1st
District of Columbia colored regi-
ment, marched from their quarters
in Campbell Hospital, to the Execu-
tive Mansion, where they were re-
ceiyed by the President, who adj
dresses them as follows:
My friends-my object in present
ing myself before you on this occa-
sion, is simply to thank you as mem
bers of one of the colored regiments
which has been in the service of the
country to sustain and carry its ban
ner and laws triumphantly in every
part of this broad land. l repeat,
that l appear before you on the
present occasion, merely to tender
you my thanks for the compliment
you have paid me on your return
home to again associate with your
friends and yoIr relations and those
you hold most sacred and dear. l
repeat, 1 have but little to say, it
being universal in this government,
and most of other governments, to
have colored troops engaged in their
service. You have gone forth, as
events have shown, and served with
patience and endurance in the cause
of your country. This is your couu-
