The Crock of Gold.

The following wonderful story comes
from Paris:
There has been one emotion in Paris
during the last few days, created by the
sudden temperance in the world OF
Paris of the Nicomptc dc -, one of
the Cuonadm favorites, who had left the
CITY in the greatest condemnation and
di:cra1c some seven years ago. and who
returns bronacd and hardened both in
mind and person to resume the place
amoug his friends, which not they but
he declared he had forfeited by his own
imprudcnce and folly.
By the kindness of relative he was
enabled to steam away for New Grena-
da. where he had been able to obtain a
situation as clerk to the engineer Just
then employed in the construction of n
line OF railway through the country
In this position he fulfilled his small du-
ties with the most perfect exactitude for
more than three years, and at the end
of that time, the railway being termi-
mated. was ordered to another duty in a
different part of the country. The way
was over the stecpcSt mountains. lie
had already got through the greater part
of his Journey. when one day. over
come BY tn. heat, he lay himself down
bv thc side Of q running stream. which
refreshed him both By sight and sound,
and fell to mustng on the hard fate
which had torn him from his relatives
and friends to wander thus lonely cx-
lie iii foreign land, when his attention
was Suddenly called from these high
flights 10 circumstance which was TAX
in@ place Immediately beneath his eye,
and which had escaped him while gaz-
ing on the heavens.
Tie phenomenon was this: close to
whore his head was lying amid the
grass and flowers the running water
.;oruntl IN eddy which, after turning in
It tiny whirlpool, proceeded to fall into
narrow aperture, whence on eXamina-
ton he beheld no issue. His curiosity
was aroused. and he raised himself up
to gaze down into the hollow. the sides
of which he found TO consist of two
blocks Of stone. so worn down and pol.
ishod bv the continued rush of the cur
rent that he could see to the very bot
tom. The sight he there bchcld made
him staggcr and fall back. almost with
out consciousness, upon the grass. In
that ,iuEla hollow had filtered for CEN
turie, tie gold sand carried by the cur
runt from the bed of the river some
miles higher up. where gold washings
had been carried on for many genera

There lay before him one glittcring
pile Of the precious ore, cleaning at the
bottom of the limpid water, and de-
handing only strong hand and reso-
lutte will, both of which he possessed.
to draw it to the surface. Needless to
say. he retgaced his steps to the place
whence he had departed and soon re-
turned, bringing back men and machine
~. and as he says when telling the Won
drous tale, "You may believe me if
you choose, but in less than three
weeks had become the richest man in
the whole republic" What bears out
the assertion is the purchases he has
.;ust made Of one of the mansions at the
Barrier de rEtolle, and the splendid
style in which he has mounted his es-
adjustment.

And here our mothers lie!

And to strangesr hard and cold
We cannot yield the graveyard,
And our fathers mansions old!
And no threat Of chains and halter,
And no threat of prison cell,
Shall drive Us weeping cNilcS
From the land we love 50 Welt
We have not feared the battle,
Nor the rain and chilling wind!
We shall not shrink from suffering,
As shrnks the craven hind.

In the glory Of the light!
Then trust in God, my brother!

A Hard Story.

One day last week, while Mr.. Math-
CIV ". Revision. who resides near Ber-
RVS Ferry in Fauquier County, Virginia,
was DOING with his head reclining
large hawk alighted upon it, and, dig
ging his talons into his flesh, tapped
his wings and attempted to rise. Mr.
Revision being thus suddenly and vio-
leG;ly aroused, was of course exceed
ingly startled and alarmed, and for a
time, as he stated afterward, he thought
that the Kuklux had him.

A MAN employed at furnace in Har-

walk over bed of hot cinders, and
broke through, when one of his shoes

his foot in the water, but when the shoe
was afterward removed the sole of the
foot came off as nicely as if removed

A MODEL MERCHANT.

Cuisines is business, ""anda contract
is contract" These are sound COM
mercial maXims, but the following in
cident illustrates the nature Of the bust
ness community which obeyS the in
spired injunction, "Look not every
man on his own things, but every man,
also, on the things of others"
A merchant of New York, during
the late war, made contract with a
mechanic to supply him with a num-
ber of tin cans. Not long after this the
price Of tin rose so much that the con-
tractor must lose money by complet-
ing the ware at the price agreed upon.
However, he said nothing, but went on
delivering the cans. When the first
bill for the pay Of the cans was receiv-
ed, the employer called upon him and
said,-
81 understand you are losing money
on this job"
eyes," replied the contractor, "but
/ can stand it; contract is contract,
you know"
"How much will you lose?" asked
the gentleman.
go, no NATTER" was the reply: L
DON'T complain, ana yon ought not
to-"
81 insist on knowing"
"Well, since you desire it, / shall
lose so much a hundred" naming the
amount.
"Well, SIR" said the noble-hearted
man, "you must not lose this-it would
not be right. 1 shall add the amount
to your bill, and, as the price of materi-
al may still rise, I will advance you
the money for the whole contract,
which, no doubt, you can use to adj
vantage"
The difference thus paid, to which
the contractor laid no claim, amounted
to five hundred dollars. That was
something more than business honesty;
it was Christian principle carried out
in business. The world needs just such
examples to convince it of the truth OF
| religion.

ADVICE 40 A DYsPEPTsC.

You have asked me to prescribe for
you. You expect medicine, perhaps
you hope for whisky, just now the rage
for chronic maladies, but l shall give
you nothing to swallow; you have swal-
lowed too much already. OF all the
maladies dyspepsia is the most distress
ing; to get rid of its horrors you would
part with your right arm; believe you,
but would you part with portion of
YOUR table luxuries? | fear not; but
presuming you are in earnest, L will
prescribe for you:
l. Rise early, dress warm and go out !;
ifstrong, walk if weak, saunter, Drink
cold water three times-of all cold
baths this is best for dyspepsia; after
half an hour or more, come in for
break fast.
2. For breakfast eat piece of good
steak half as large as your hand, slice
of coarse bread and a baked apple; eat
very slowly; talk very pleasantly with
your neighbors; read cheerful COM
ments Of Journals; avoid hot biscuits
and strong coffee; drink nothing.
3. Digest for an hour, and then to
your work trust it is in the open air.
Work hard tillnoon, and then rest body
and mind till dinner sleep little; drink
water.
4. For dinner-tWo or three o'clock
eat a slice of beef or mutton or fish as
large as your hand, a potato, two OF
three spoonsful OF other vegetables, 6
slice of coarse bread; give more than
half an hour to this meal; use no drink
5. After dinner play anaconda for al
hour; now for the social, for pleasant
games-a good time.
6. No supper-a little toast and tea
even for supper, will make your recov
cry very slow.
In a warm room, bathe your ski
with cold water hastily, and go to bee
in a well ventilated room before nine
o'clock.
Follow this prescription for thre
months and your stomach will so ia
recover that you can indulge for some
time in all sorts of irregular and glut
tonous eating; or if you have resolved
in the fear of Heaven, to present you
bodies, living sacrifices, holy and aC
ceptabie unto God, and will continue t
eat and work like a Christian, you
distressing malady will soon be fol
gotten.-Dio LetciS, M. ID.

FRANkLIN'S WIFE.

To promote her husbands interests
she attended in his little shop, where
she bought rags, sewed pamphlets, fold
ed newspapers, and sold the few arti-
cles in which he dealt, such as ink,
papers, lampback, blacks and other
stationery. At the same time, she was
an excellent housekeepers, and besides
being economical herself, taught her
somewhat careless, diSOrderly husband
to be economical also. Sometimes,
Franklin was clothed from head to foot
in garments which his wife had both
woven and made, and for long time
she performed all the work of the
house without the assistance of a SER
want.
Nevertheless, she knew how to be
liberal at proper times. Franklin tells
US that for some years after his marrl-
age, his breakfast was bread and milk,
which they ate out of a two penny
earthen vessel, with a pewter spoon
| bnt one morning, on going down TO
breakfast, he found upon the table a
beautiful china bowl, from Whice his
bread and milk was steaming, with
silver spoon by its side, which had cost
a sum equal in our currency to ten dol
lars. When he expressed his astonish-
ment at this unwonted splendor, Mrs
Franklin only remarked, that she
thought her husband deserved a silver
spoon and china bowl as much as any
of his neighbOrs.
Franklin prospered in his business
until he became the most famous edi
tor and most fourishing printer in A
merica, which gave him the pleasure
ofrelieving his wife from the cares o
business, and enabled him to provld'
for her spacious and well furnishc'
abode. She adorned high station a
well as she had borne lowly one, ant
presided at her husbands liberal tabl

PEEP INTO BRIGHAM YOUNG-S
SERAGLIO.

But let us seek a field of interest.
Here on our right hand are the private
| grounds OF him who ruleth in Zion,
Brigham Young. Twenty acres he
owns in the heart of the city, where are
pleasant walks and floral beauties, sur
rounded by stone wall. Within this
enclosure are three princely mansions,
where live his thirty wives and num-
berless progeny. Each of these houses
carries name, that disorder and con-
fusion may not arise in the camp of
Israel. They are the Bee Hive
House, Lion House and White House
on the Hill. This mighty wall is
designed to shut out the world,
to exclude inquisitive sight, but we
shall venture to describethe scene with
in. 1t is the hour of sunset, gliding
the mountains with rapturous light
We approach the massive iron gates,
and unlike Moore's disconsolate Peri,
we are permitted to enter the domestic
paradise. Strolling leisurely along the
grassy walks, our attention is attracted
to the singular movements of an elder
ly woman, her hair streaked with silver
threads, yet with a step firm and elias
tic. This evenings air isinviting, and
she seems to enjoy the freshness. In
her hand is an open book lean it be

closes with nervous twitch of the hand
as her fading eye rekindles with look
that would seem to say, 'Oh, how des-

became Brigham Young's first wife.
But who can be the victim of that ma
lignant scorning? What poor mortal
is being crushed between her clenched
teeth? Can it be !, only looker-on-
harmless and unoffending Gentle?
No; but we have discovered the study
of her hate-the bohum upas that has
been planted in her side. Yonder is
cluster of treeS-they are aspen and
maple-and under their thin, yellow
tinged tops, is bright eyed woman of
twenty summers, who now leans upon
an old mans arm. By what power we
know not, but, as if drawn by magic
hand, our steps are directed thither-

and situation flashes winsome looks and
breathes poetic words; he, Oldham that
he is, and slave of sensualism, treads
the fooro Of his own paradise, and smiles
approving glances. This man is Brig
ham Young, and this woman his very
last and much the prettiest wife. No
wonder that the ''old creature" looked
the disagreeable. Perhaps there are
others peeping from behind damask
curtains who are also. mourning the loss
of their place in that old mans affec-
tiOnS.

JAPANESE MAPS.

There are now in this city some
specimens of the work of Japanese
which shows that they have attained
a proficiency in some branches almost if
not quite equal to our own. Oneofthese
is large map ofthe Imperial City of
Yeddo, apparently executed by litho-
graphic process, or something similar,
and finished up in cOlOrS. No job of
this kind, eXecutedin Europe or Amer
ca, could excel it in minutences Of de-
tail and careful neatness of execution.
The streets, many of which are seven
teen miles in length, are all laid down
with apparent mathematical eXactness,
the vast system of canals like those of
Venice, but on an immensely extended
scale, is also exhibited, and the location
of the Imperial Palace and grounds,
covering several square miles of terrific
ry, and the palaces of some 250 princes
who reside in the city, are all given
The city is said to contain 800, 900
houses, and 5000, ,0OOpeople, and tohave
commerce more extensive by far
than that of any city on earth, though
this last seems incredible. Another
is birdseye view of Yokohama, with
the foreign quarter to prevent indis-
criminate commingling of the races,
the harbor, the surrounding hills, &c.
These maps were purchased by a gentle
man now in this city, at a native sta
toner's shop in Yokohama, and are
said to be, as in fact they must almost
necessarily be, entirely of native work
manship. No foreigners have yet been
allowed to settle in Yeddo, and the
surveys of that city from which the
map was made must have been wholly
by native enginers.-Sd7 Francisco Al
