Under these favoring auspices very grau.y lying
progress has been made in extending the railroad
track from both directions. Nearly 1000 miles
of the Main Line and converging Branches be
tween the Missouri River and the base of the
Rocky Mountains have been built within three
years. The CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD has
also steadny and successfully carried the Main
Stem Line from the steamboat navigation Of the
Pacific 10 the summit of thu Sierra Nevada, and
into the Great Salt Lake Basin east of the Cali
fOrnia line. Having overcome by far the most
difficult and expensive portion of the whole
line, the probabilities of the through connection
with tho Eastern lines being effected in lsIO
amount almost 10 certainty.

CHRISTMAS COLUMN
SANTA CLAUS.

Ffom the Hearth and Home.
On Christmas Eve, when the moon shone
bright,
Nelly and Kate saw a wonderful sight
Where the fire had faded away:
A funny old man, with a pipe as funny.
A flowing white beard, and face 80 sunny
That 1t gave the pale moonlight golden glow,
And seemed to warm the glittering snow.
The funny old man was laden with toys,
And he tossed them down without any noise,
Till in beautiful heaps they lay.
Not whit frightened were Nelly and Kate,
For they thought it dream Qt was so very
late), '..aa
And they slept again, unaware.
The first crimson ray, when it came to tell
That Christmas had risen, and all was well,
Saw Nelly and Kitty among the rest,
Happy, and loving, and merry, and blest,
Taking their treasures from stockings and
floor,
And thanking the giver hundred times DER
But the ashes were grey and bare.

Popular Ideas Concerning Newspapers.

The GAINESVILLE Gazette talks very sensibly upon
this point, and says there is class OF well mean
ing but 1thoughtless persons who regard n news
paper as a sort Of benevolent enterprise gotten up
by some lberal-minded gentlemen for the sole
purpose of doing all the good possible, and who
has selected the million-tongued press to accomp-
lsh it, They are the regular pOachers upon the
press--men who always want their fayors inserted
gratuitously, and are always ready to inform the
publisher that he is engaged in publishing ne'cs
paper, and they are always sure to have some
thing of business nature that they believe to be
good news which ought to be given to the public
at once. One man has just patented a new heat
ing apparatus that will save half the fuel now
used and Of course ii will be great favor to the
poor if the editor will just tell the people free of
charge, where'such apparatus can. be bought,

Signs of Character.

A lady who appears to have given the
subject much thought, submits the follow
ing suggestions to enable women to trace
the character of men by outward signs:
If the man you contemplate have. thick
red lips, he will be simple, good natured,
and easily managed. tpiWf9t
If he speak and look with his mouth ex-
tended, it is certain mark of stupidity.
If he speak quick, but distinct, and
walk firm and erect he will be ambitious,
active and probaly good husband.
If he blush, it is a favorable sign; hut
speaking bluntly and positively betokens
much of headstrong self-will.
If he lose at cards snappishly, he is i'm
patient; and to cheat at play for gain
shows mind unworthy of trust
If he boast Of ladys fayors, he Is to be
avoided. .........,i ,....." .,,........ ..,.s
If he look pale in passion, with pale
lips, he cannot have either. true love OF
real courage to defend you. 'f'' 'l' '''

qualities and abilities to please. ss lu

Bonifaces are more subject to imposition

seems that the rule adopted there is to pay
for dinner Immediately upon the delivery
of the plate of soup. The other day a
fraudulent genius, having unsuccessfully
exploited one hotel, boldly entered the
Washington and called for dinner He
was astonished to see the waiter approach
him with plate Of soup in one hand, a
towel in the other, and q large family
syringe under his arln.r The waiter laid
the plate of soup in front of the customer,
and significantly placed the palm of his
hand under the nose of the hungry man,

Honorable Courtship,

We heard a very pretty incident the
other day, which we cannot help relating.
A young lady from the South, it seems,
was woed and won by youthful physician
living in California. When the engage
ment was made the doctor was rich, having
been successful at San Francisco. 1t had
not existed many months, however, when
by an unfortunate investment he lost his
entire )" heap The event came upon
him, it should be added, just as he was
about to claim his bride. What does he
doY Why, as an honorable and chival-
rous young man, as he is, he sits down
and writes the young lady the particulars
of the unhappy turn which had taken place
in his fortunes, assuring her that if the fact
produced any change of feeling toward him,
she was released from all the promises she
had made to him. And what does she,
the dear, good girl? Why, she takes a
lump Of pure gold, which her lover had sent
her in his prosperity as keepsake, and
having it manufactured into ring, for
wards it to him with the the following bi.
bic inscription engraved in distinct char
acter on the outside: bs.ai.r ru a..
"Entreat me not TO leaye thee; or to return
from following thee; for WHITTIER thou goest will
90, and where thou lodgestl will lodge;, thy peo.
Pile shall Die nay people, ,tahd thy God my GOD
where thou diest will die, and there will bt
buried; the Lord DO so to me and more also, i
aught bdt deAtlf part me and thee" 1 -
The lover idolized his sweetheart NOR,
than ever when, ,hereceived this precious
evidence of her devotion to him in botl
storm and sunshine. We may add tha
fortune soon again smiled upon the youn:
physician, and that he subsequently re
turned to the South to wed the sweet CIR
he loved, and who loved him with such a,
undying affection. Young ladies who rca
the bible, as the heroine Of this inciden
seems to have done, are pretty sure t
make good sweeathearts and better wives
