In THE MIND.

An old man was shaving himself one day
before the fire, but suddenly exclaimed in a
great rage to the maid servant: 81 can {
shave without glassi why is it not here
Obi said she, II have not placed it there
for many weeks, as you seemed to get along
quite as well without it. The crusty old
bachelor (of course he was an old bachelor,
or he would not have been so crotchety and
crusty had, for the first time, observed that
there was no glass there and his inability to
shave without one, was lin the mind only
twas imaginary.
A Dutch farmer who measured yard
through. was one day working in the harvest
| field with his little son, and was bitten by a
snake. He was horror struck When he
recovered himselfa little, he snatched up
his outer clothing, and made tracks for
home, at the same time busying himselfin
putting on his vest; but it would not go on.
lie looked at his arm, and it seemed to be
double its natural size; but tugging at it
with greater desperation, he finally got both
arms in. But his blood fairly froze in his
veins when he discovered it wouldn's meet
by about foot BY this time he had
reached his house, and throwing himself on
the bed, exclaimed in az agony Of terror:
70 mine frowi m snake bitei I'm killed.
O mine Cot! But his little bit Of wife,
standing kimbo in the mid lie of the floor,
burst into fit of laughter so uncomfortable
that she was likely to sufocate, and thus
beat her husband in dying. The poor mans
in his alarm, had endeavored to put on his
little boys vest, and was not swollen at all,
except in the mind -
Many mother feels fretted and iaded and
worn out with the cares of housekeeping, and
is almost sick. But at the moment well
come visiter comes in full of life and cor
diality and eheeriness, al 4 in less than five
minutes that mother is different woman;
the sky has cleared; the face is lighted up
with smiles; and she feels as well as she ever
did in her life Her discouragement, her
almost sickness was not Sin the mind, " it
was a reality, but the excitement conver-
sation drove out the Wearying blood, which
was depressing the heart, and made it fairly
tingle to the finger points Mem Ladiesl
when you go a visiting, carry smiles and
gladness and joyous nature and kind
heart with you, and you will do more good
than dozen doctors. Most persons have
variety Of uncomfortable feelings at times,
but they disappear on some exciting occur
renee, not because they are merely in the
mind, only imaginary, but because the ex-
cited heart wakes up to new propulsiye
power, and drives forward the stagnating
blood from points where its sluggishness
was producing oppression, or actual pain.
Mem. ? For all, when you are grumpy,
bounce up, go ahead, and do something

LARGE SHOP the early days of min
ing, before roads had been laid out and saw
mills built, black smith located on one of
the river bars in California, and erecting a
forge of stones and clay, set the anvil ON a
stump which he had sawed lov for the purr
pose, and sharpened the picks and drills OF
the boys who worked in the vicinity. He
worked at mining himself in the day time,
and did his blacksmithing at night; and
not knowing what day his claim might fail,
and he be compelled to pull up stakes and
leave, did not think il worth while to build
roof over the '.shop." One day Bill s.
and two others left the bar for Weayerville,
the county seat. As they came into the main
trail leading to that place they met discon-
solate looking chap, leading horse that
stumbled at every step. The man at once
inquired
Stranger, can you tell me how far it is
to blacksmith shop p My hoss has lost
a shoe, an goes powerful lame
'0h, yes, answered Bill, yon' Ne in the
shop now, but it's about four miles TO the
0nUI. y

An EDITOR FoRGETs HIS NAME-This
vivid sketch of editorial character on the
Pacific side is from ARENAS Ward, who
says: My arrival at Virginia City was
signalized by the following incident [ had
no sooner achieved my room in the garret of
the international Hotel, than | was called
upon by an intoxicated man, who says he
was an editor Knowing how rare it was
for an editor to be under the blighting In
funoe of either spirituous or malt liquors,
received this statement doubtfully. But l
said, what name % 'Wait, he said,
and went out. heard him pacing up and
down the hall outside. Ia ten minutes he
returned, and said, EPepperl' Pepper
was indeed his name He had been out to
see if he could remember it and he was so
flushed with his success, that he repeated
it joyously several times, and then, with
short laugh, he went away. had often
heard of man being so drunk that he
didn't know what town he lived in, but here
was man so hideously inebriated that he
didn't know what his name was. / saw no
more of him, but heard from him, for he
published notice of my lecture, in which
he said had dissipated air |"

One would suppose that this resolutions
would have been hailed with JOY by the sa-
pient Senators, as shifting the responsibility
from themselves to the people; but that was
just what they were afraid of. Their illib-
erality would have received too marked q
rehuke at the polls; the people, whom they
are misrepresenting. would have condemned
their course too sharply to sit well on their
capacious stomachs So, dog-in-the-
manger like, they sit in the mouths Of ken
nels, with bark at every scheme of State
Improvement, and growl for every express
sion of popular opinion.
Itcan hardly be uacharitable if the thought
win come into one q mind that this persis-
tent action Of the Senate proceeds from pri-
vate reasons on the part of Senators

EECK-TwIsTING IN CHURCH.

A good story is told Of an eccentric old
parson, who was sorely annoyed by habit
his people had acquired land which prevails
by-the-way, in all other churches, even now
and hereabouts to some extentl to twisting
their necks around every time anybody en-
tered the door, and passed up the isle Of the
meeting house TO see what manner of per
son it might be.
Wearied with the annoyance, the Old man
exclaimed one Sunday
Brethren, If you viii only cease turning
your heads round, whenever the door opens
and will keep your attention on me, Twill
promise to tell you as ! preach, who it is
that comes in.
Accordingly he went on with the services
and presently made stop as one ofthe dea
cons entered, saying
That is Deacon who keeps the gro
cery opposite
And then he announced, in turn, the ad
vent of each indiyidual, preceding the
while with his sermon as composealy as the
circumstances would admit, when at last
stranger came in, when he cried out
"A little old man in green spectacles, and
drab oYercoat-don know him-you can
all turn round and look for yourselves this
time
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
good man carried his point, and there was
but little neck-twisting seen in his eongre-
cation after that day.

Notes Of Travel.

WASHINGTON, ID. G. July Z, $50
MEssRs EDIToRs:-After leaving the town
of Hull on the coast east of Boston, went to
New York ria Fall River and Long Island,
on the superb steamer Newport. The great
city Of this continent was, TO some. extent,
depopulated, and vet there were people suIii-
cient left TO make several western cities Of
respectable dimensions. New Workers 90 TO
Long Branch, Saratoga, the Falls and the
White Mountains. Boston people scatter ev-
erywhere 1t is SINGULAR but true, that during
this sultry weather, while Northern city
people are fishing out doors, for baths and
fresh air, the people Of the Sonth and West
are frequenting the large cities for the same
purposes. The Revere and fremont il Bos-
ton, and the Fifth Avenue, St. James, Aston,
kc., in New \ ork, we're crowded with tran
sient hoatders New York is great city.
Ii has sights for all persons. The juveniles
break for candy shops and Batnum $ Museum;
the giddy young lasSes for theaters, love-siess
couples for Taylor s; sporting gentlemen and
men needing some reereationtor Central Park;
and the thoughtful and conscious OF aeeting
lie and certain death to the great cemetery Of
the country. Greenwood.
Preached Washington on the morning Of
the 4ih, and stopped temporarily at Willard $,
reserving most of my time for the excellent
boarding house Of Walter s. Bailey, formerly
of keokuk. There wa. no general eelebra-
ton here on the natal anniversary day The
colored people turned out in thousands strong
and formed procession near two miles in
length, as generally estimated. he great
crowd behaved admirably aud illustrated by
good conduct their capacity for q true civiliza-
lion. At night the city was full ofexplosIons
fire crackers and torpedoes went off in every
direction and from nearly all private houses.
There was fair degree of patriotism devel-
oped.
This morning attended market. which wa:
truly fine Excellent beef. mutton, lamb

Of the whites looked poor, aud al! had poor
horses aud shabby eonseyances Tor two
hours moving about heard no harsh words
and saw no indication of wrong TO black OF

development Of a disposition to labor and
