THE SMITH 5,
BY G. L. H, EBENsBuRG.

In sooty shop, just over the way,
Two smiths are working the livelong day,
The one is brawny, the other Slim
They work from morn till evening dim.
In seasons when their work is tbrong,
They wake the echoes the evening long;
The clank Of The anvil is hourly heard,
And the smiths are gay as a singing bird :.
And children love the ruddy fire
The smiths must use to heat their tire:
They staEd, with wondering look around,
The flaming circle on the grouud.
And in its light fair castles old,
In forms Of beauty, do unfold:
That pleases well their youthful gaze,
And tends their nobler thoughts to raise.
With anvil chorus loudly ringing,
The ruddy sparks around them finging,
The morning sees some work begun,
And evening sees that work all done.
Thus we should all. with one accord.
Every hour and moment hoard,
That we may show, in time to come,
Some noble work that we have done.
That all the moments saved may be,
Like gems from some far distant sea
Then eternity alone shall tell
How each has wrought his mission we'll.

A HARD Story. is California
story which is almost incredible: 4 hired
man on a Napa farm was detailed 10 keep
a watch on the cornfield, and not let the
black marauders invade the premises, but
like many other men in a similar situation,
tried to plan method whereby so much
labor would not have to be performed so
he hit upon the plan of soaking some corn
in whisky and placing it in the field so that
the crows would surely get drunk, and
then he thought he would have sure
thing on them and could kill them easily
He had tried to shoot them with shot
gun but crows can smell powder long
way. After soaking some corn over
night, he put a bountifuI supply in the
field early next morning, and in about two
or three hours he went to see how things
were progressing, and mark you what
follows: One of the crows, a little larger
than the rest, had gathered up and taken
possession of almost all the corn and had
built himself bar out of clods of earth
and was retailing the whiskey-soaked corn
to the other crows, charging them three
grains of sprouted corn for one soaked
grain. Our hired man had not the heart
to kill the creatures that seemed in 1 heir
actions like mankind.

MAY, 18G9.-DEAR SIR: After many
delays, 1 send yon short account of the
dream which excited your interest last
summer.
In the fall of 1861 think it was in
the month of November-while l was
studying law in the city of New York, /
retired to my room about midnight of
cold, clustering evening remember dis
tinctly of hearing the clock strike twelve
as 1 lay in bed, watching the smouldering
fire, until drowsiness crept over me and l
slept. l had hardly lost consciousness
when / seemed to hear loud and confused
noises, and felt choking sensation at my
throat, as if il were grasped by a strong
hand. / awoke, as it seemed, and found
myself lying on my back on the cobbIe
stones OF narrow street, writing in the
grip of low browed, thick set man with
"unkempt'' hair and grizzled beard, who,
with one hand at my throat and with the
other holding my wrist, threw tis weight
upon me and held me down. From the
first l knew that his desire was to kill me.
and my struggles were for life. / recall,
distinctly, the sense of horror at first, and
then that of furious determination which
took possession of me. l did not make a
sound, but with a sudden effort threw him
half off of me, clutched him franticaIly by
the hair, and in my agony bit furiously at
his throat. Over and over we rolled uu-
on the stones. My strength began to give
way before the fury of my struggles. 1
saw that my antagonist felt it and smiled
ghastly smile of triumph.
Presently l saw him reach forth his
hand and grasp bright hatchet. Even
in this extremity noticed that the hatchet
was new and apparently unused, with
glittering head and white polished handle.
made one more tremendous fight for life.
For a second / held my enemy powerless,
and saw, with such thrill of delight as |
cannot forget, the horror stricken faces OF
friends within a rod of US, rushing to my
rescue. As the foremost of them sprang
upon the back of my antagonist he wrench

TAKING II EAS-An honest Dutch~
man, near Bellefontaire, was taking a
load Of fax straw to market few days
ago. calmly smoking his pipe, at peace
with all the world, when he suddenly felt
a fire in his rear, and looking around
found his straw in blaze from a spark
of his pipe. For once in his life he used
due diligence he did not stop to hold an
indignation meeting, nor to pass sundry
and divers resolutions, but with an excla-
nation "Du tuyfel !" he knocked the
ashes out of his pipe and slid to the ground.
While he was considering with Dutch
vigor what TO do next his horses took
fright and ran off 1t was magnificent
conflagration on the move The fire was
running TO the engine instead of the en-
CINE to the fire. Fortunately for our
German fellow citizen, the wagon was up
set ADD left the burning straw to fire Q
neighbor's fence, while the horses ran
homo with the wagon. The Dutchman
lit bis pipe at the fire, and went home
smoking as if nothing had happened.

Finally, every word that we have writ
ten is true. The only reason we do not
give her name in full, is because we do
not like to drag her name into public no
tice without her consent. Residents in
bloomington will know whom we mean,
and others WHO are curious can find out
by addressing US personally. We only
publish the case because it shows tha,
there is no real bar 10 woman's doing
business if she has the natural faculty and
persistence.

BACHELORS AND FLIRrS-Some old
bachelors git after flirt, and can't travel
SO fast as she doz, and then conclude awI
the female group are hard to ketch, and
good for nothing when they are ketched.
A flirt Is rough thing to overhaul un>
less the right dog gets after her, and then
they are the easiest of awl TO ketch, and
make the very best of wives.
When flirt really falls in love she is
powerless as a mown daisy.
Her impudence then changes into mod
esty, her GINNING into fear, her spurs into
halter, her pruning into cradle.
The best way 20. ketch Hirt is tew
travel the other way from which they are
going, or SIT down on The ground and whis-
tie some lively tune till the Hirts come
round. Old bachelors make the flirts, and
then flirts get more than even BY making
the old bachelors.
A majority of fiirts get married finally.
for they have got great quantity of the
most dainty titbits of woman's nature,
and alwus have shrudress to back up their
sweetness.
Disappointed Inv must, of course, be ali
on one side, and tins amt any more an ex-
cuse for being an old bachelor than it is
for man to quit all kinds of manuel la

JOSH BILLINGS osh Billings Henry
w. Shaw is thus written of by one who
knows him: '.He is certainly quite as
ugly as 'Nasby.' In many of his articles
in broken English he surpasses all who
have tried that class of writing. But to
fully appreciate him one must see and
know him. He is about forty-elght years
old, and is the qnaiutest specimen of hu-
manity which we ever met. Five years
ago he was an auc;ioneer in Poughkeep-
sic. New York. He has since removed
to New York city, where he keeps board
ing house amused by his irrepressib!e od-
dities. AS he passes down Broadway he
cannot escape observation. His broad,
bent form, his immense hat, and his large,
eagle-lIke features are always noticeable.
His weakness is for chewing tobacco and
telling stories. There is no such story
teller in the land. Such quaint, laugha-
BILE yarns as he can spin are not easily
put in print. The only lounging place he
has is in the office of the New York
Weekly, tor which paper he contributes
weekly articles. When the lecture season
is at hand he sends out humorous pros>
pectus. lie makes from three to four
thousand dollars year from his lectur~
ing, and as much more from his newspa-
per work. Always cheerful and genial,
always witty and yet kind, he is liked ex-
ceedIngly by his circle of friends. Per
haps some of our readers will remem Der
the publicity that was given some time
ago to the marriage of one of his daugh>
ters, whose beauty had become noted
She was as handsome as he was ugly"
