COLT and 4umor,
Reasoning from, Analogy.

a good story is told of German by
the name of Schmidt, who had taken the
precaution to insure the life of his wife
for $5, 600, and his stable for 5000, be-
lievng that the former might die and the
latter be burnt, and he could not get along
without some compensation for his loss.
Both policies had been taken from the
same agent. In few months after the
stable had been insured it caught fire and
was destroyed. Schmidt quietly notified
the agent, and limited to him that he
would like the nine hundred dollars at the
earliest possible moment. The agent at
once sent builder to ascertain the cost
of erecting a new stable, of the same di-
mensions, having learned that the prop
erty had been insured for more than it
was worth. The builder reported that he
could replace the stable, with new ma
terial, for $500, but unfortunately there
was an ordinance preventing the erection
of frame buildings-the old stable having
been of wood He was asked to estimate
the cost of brick stable, and reported
the amount at $3.50 The agent then
notified Schmidt that he would build him
a new brick stable in place of the old
frame one, but Schmidt became very in
dgnant at the proposition, saying:
' not understand dis insurance busi-
ness. pay you for nine hundred tolar,
and when my sthable burn down you make
me new one. not want a new sthable,
| want nine hundred tollar.'
The agent reasoned with Schmidt, but
Ii Al.
about finished Schmidt went to consult a
lawyer, thinking that he could still get the
amount of the policy, besides having the
new stable.
The lawyer, however, informed him
that the company had a right to make
good the loss by building new stable,
and expressed surprise that he should talk
of bringing suit against them.
But" said Schmidt, I" l inshure for
nine hundred tollar, and dis fcller put up
dem shtable for seven hundred and fifty
| not understand dis insurance business. !"
Finding that he could not compel the
payment by law, Schmidt determined to
get out of the " insurance business alto
gether. Calling upon the agent, Schmidt
said:
" Mr.. Agent, I want you to shtop dem
insurance on mine frow. I not pay any
more monish dat way, l not understand
dis insurance business"
Agent, surprised-'Why, Mr.. Schmidt
you are doing very foolish thing You
have paid considerable on this policy al
ready, and if your wife should die you
will get 5000"
Yaw, dat ish vat you tell me now,"
said Schmidt. &C Ven pays you on my
sthable you say get nine hundred toll
lar if it burnt down. So it was burnt,
and you not give mo mine monish. You
say, 80, dat wash an old frame sthable !;
it not worth anydings; make you a
brick shtable,' and you not pay me mine
nine hundred tollar. Ven mine frow dies,
den you say to me, 20, she vas an old
Dutch woman she not worth anydings
I get you new Anglish frow p and so [
loose my five thousand tollars. You not

proposition, and have bought the news
from the agent of the Associated Press
ever since. They were in the position of
persons allowed to come into the restaur-
ant, and enjoy a portion of the fare pre-
pared for the original participants in the
feast. The privilege accorded by the New

The ThimG In a Nutshell.

We have received copies of the last re-
port, as late as March 9th, made by any
government director of the Union Pacific
railroad. 1t is that of Mr.. CLANCY ii.
Snow, of Washington, civil engineer,
and formerly connected with the Baltimore
Wilmington and Philadelphia railroad, and
who assisted in making the early surveys
for the great bridge of that company ccross
the Susquehanna. Mr.. Snow went over
the line of the Union Pacific railroad since
January last, making practical examina-
ton of it, and his report sufficiently con-
firms all the allegations which have been
made heretofore of its incomplete and bad
ly constructed condition. showing hurried
unsubstantial, unsafe and unlawful laying
of track, without proper grades, ballasting,
embankments, bridges, &c. besides length
ening out of the line with the view of
drawing, at the rate fixed per mile, more
bonds from the government than the
straighter route would afford tits a fact,
which no one doubts, and Mr.. Snow be-
lieves no one denies, that the persons who
have had the superintendence and manage
ment of the construction of the Union Pa
cifc railroad are the persons who have
been and are the contractors for its con-
struction. The Credit Mobilicr" does
the work and receives the money. And
what is the "Crcdit Mobilier ?" To use
the forciblc language of Charles Fran
els Adams, Jr. in an article in the North
American Review for January, 1869:
cit is but another name for the Pacific
railroad ring. The members of it are in
Congress; they are trustees for the bond
holders-they are directors, they are stock
holders, they are contractors: in Washing
ton they vote the subsidies, in New York
they receive them, upon the plains they ex-
pend them, and in the Credit Mobilier
they divide them. Ever-shifting charac-
ters, they are ever Ubiquitous they re-
ceive money into one hand as a corpora
ton, and pay it into the other as con-
tractor. Humanity speaking, the whole
thing seems to be species of thimblerig,
with this difference from the ordinary ar
rangement, that whereas commonly ''the
little joker is never found under the thim-
BILE which may be turned up, in this case
he is sure to be found, turn up which thin
BILE you may. Under one name or anoth-
er ring of few persons is struck at
whatever point the Union Pacific is ap-
preached. As stockholders they own the
road, as mortgages they have a lien upon
it, as directors they contract for its con-
struction, and as members of the Credit
Mobilier" they build it,

We presume most of our readers have
been annoyed, as we have, by the contin-
ned breaking of kerosene lamp-chimneys,
which crack upon the slightest expansion
by the heat on first lighting the lamp.
We are reminded by an exchange of the
cause. These chimneys are made of sill
cate of lime instead of silicate of lead, be-
cause the former material is very much
cheaper. They are the "shoddy" in glass
manufacturing, and have no strength to
withstand the expansion and contraction
Those made of silicate of lead may be
known by their clear, ringing, bell-like
sound, one of which will outlast dozen ot
the others.

THE Cosr OF A TRIP TO CALIFORNIA BY
RAIL.-The probable cost of trip to Cal
ifornia by rail has often been asked during
the past year. A late San Francisco Bull
letin furnishes information on the subject,
giving the following figures: New York
to Chicago, 960 miles, $18,75; Chicago
to Omaha, 495 miles, $17 .53; Omaha to
Salt Lake, 1,070 miles, $40.13; Salt
Lake to San Francisco, 775 miles, SIT so.
From this it is seen that the total distance
from ocean to ocean is 3, 300 miles and the
fare $153.91. AS may be noticed, the
charge on the last stage, the Central Pa
cifc, is more than that on the remaining
three fourths of the journey; but the COM
pany has promised to reduce its rates by
next July. But even at the above price,
with running time of only six or eight
days from New York to San Francisco, the
old steamship rates of $3.50 for a trip con-
suming three weeks, could not long be
maintained. In the route by rail there
would be of course the additional ex-
pense of meals, but this would not be Sc
rious item.

OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Over and over again,
No matter which way turn,
always find in the Book of Life
Some lesson have to learn.
| must take my turn at the MILL
| must grind out the golden grain,
must work at my task, with resolute will
Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need
OF even the tiniest flower,
Nor check the flow of the golden sands
That run through a single hour.
But the morning dews must fall,
And the sun and the summer rain
Must do their part, and perform it all
Over and over again.
Over and over again
The brook through the meadow flows,
And over and over again
The ponderous mill-wheel goes.
Once doing will not suffice,
Though doing be not in vain;
And blessing, failing us once or twice,
May come if we try again.
The path that has once been trod
Is never so rough TO the feet;
And the lesson we once have learned
Is never so hard to repeat.
Though sorrowful tears may fall,
And the heart to its depth be driven
With storm and tempest we need them all
To render us meet for Heaven.

The breath of Springtime at this twilight hour
Comes through the gathering gooms,
And bears the stolen sweets of many flower
Through all the silent rooms.
Where hast thou wandered gentle gale, to find
The perfumes thou dost bring2
By brooks, that through the wakening meadows
wind,
Or brink of rushy spring?
Or woodside, where in little companies,
The early mild flowers rise,
Or sheltered lawn, where, mid encrcling trees
Mays warmest sunshine lies.
Now sleeps the hummng-biId, that in the sun
Wandered from bloom to bloom;
Now, too, the weary bee, his days work done,
Rests in his waxen room,
Now every lowering insect to his place
Beneath the leaves have flown;
And through the long night hours the howery
race
Are left to the alone.
O'er the pale blossoms of the sassafras,
And o'er the spice-bush spray,
Among the opening buds, thy breathings pass
And come embalmed away.
Yet there is sadness in thy soft Garess,
Wind of the blooming year
The gentle presence, that was want to bless
Thy coming, is not here.
Go, then, and yet I bid thee not repair
Thy gathered sweets to shed,
Where pine and willow, in tho evening air,
Sigh Ger the buried dead.
Refresh the languid student pausing DER
The learned page apart
And he shall turn to con his task once more
With an encouraged heart.
Bear thou promise from the fragrant sward,
To him who tills the land,
of springing harvcsts that shall yet reward
The labors of his hand.
Pass on to homes where cheerful voices sound
And cheerful looks are cast,
And where thou wakest, in thine airy round,
No sorrow of the past.
And whisper, everywhere, that Earth renews
Her beautiful array,
Amid the darkness and the gathering dews,
For the return of day.
