them are professors of propriety. They
pay little attention to the services or to the
decorum of the house of God. They have
nothing to 10 with the prayers, the read
ing Of Gods Word, or with the preaching.
The part they bear in devotion they pro-
pose to do artistically, according TO con-
tract, and nothing more. 1t Is the custom
of some costly choirs, during the sermon,
to retire to an ante room and enjoy them
selves, while the performer, as they regard

part. An artist was secured. took her
place in the quartette choir, and charmed
the audience by her vocalization. More
than all, she charmed the people by
her modest and even difhdent bearing.
She had never sung in a choir before,

pitied her embarrassment. A couple of
Sundays revealed the fact that the modest

best means by which to estimate their fat

the hide be soft and silky, it affords prooI
Of tendency to take meat. A beast having
a perfect touch will have a thick, loose skin

covered with an abundance Of soft glossy hair

RUTA BAoA TURHIPs.-One of the best
field crops where large quantity OF stock
10 kept over the winter, and succulent food
is required, is that fthe ruta baga turnip.-
1t is hardy, nutritious, and with proper care
can be made to yield heavily to the acre
Mixed with cut hay, straw or fodder, il
makes the best of winter food for stock, and
especially for mich cows; and as a table
vegetable, in early spring, is preferable to the
white turnip, which is apt to grow piIhy al
that season.

NOT SO FAvoE,RLE.-A gentleman who
re sides in Gold Hill, and who retained from
White Pine night before last, tells a BY no
means t4tter.ng tale Of the new Silverado.
He says there are but two or three mines
in the whole region that appear to him
likely to prove lasting. The other strikes Of
which We hear so much of are, he says, but
large punches OF ore, separated from any
thing like a vein, and surrounded on all
sides by hard limestone-,hey run in no par
ticular direction and have no walls. dip or
any other of the characteristics Of a mineral
vein. His idea is that the greater part Of
the so-callcd mines now being worked are
mere nodulcs Of ore that have formed in
cavities i'll the limestone. He advises his
friends to stay away from White Pine. His
story has cooled the blood Of many persons
IN this city who were far gone with the pre-
vailing fever.-Enterprise Of yesterday.
