Lows PArs.-A night Waterman aud


Lows PArs.-A night Waterman aud
n lovely young beerjcrker have for
some time been living together at Vir-
ginia as thick as two peas in a pod
swee,ly, matrimonially loving, yet ille-
gally so. Johnny and Betsy have
always got along very jolly together,
and never quarreled any to speak of
until evening before last, in a BARRIERS
shop. It was about time for Johnny to
20 forth to his regular night watch, and
he was getting shaved first. Sweet
Betsy was by his side, aud, as usual on
such occasions, she hated to have him
leave her to while away the sad dark
hours of the night alone. She talked
sweet to him, hung on his neck and
kissed him in the eXuberance of her at
lection, before all the BARRIERS and
when she saw that ho would tear HIM
self away, she ~playfully snatched his
hat and lodged about among the chairs,
tantalizing him in the most playfully
exasperating manner imaginable.
Johnny got out of patience, and finally
got mad aud swore Mt her. Then she
got riled and talked back. Finally he
got near enough aud gave her II terrible
slap in the face which neHrly or quite
knocked her down, in the presence Of
nil the BARRIERS. Then there were tears,
repentance, billing and cooling, aud the
barbcr.ous scene ended in his taking
her to their room up stairs, with his
arm twined tenderly about her little
waist. We mildly draw r curtain over
the soothing scene. "Alis well that
ends WELL" Both stood watch that
night.
How Now "A few weeks ago many
people hsreabouts were quite disposed
to censure Jack White for writing sc
discouragingly from Treasure City
about the state of the weather and pros
poets at White Pine, saying that the
snow wss deep, weather cold, roads
bad, poor accommodations, little work
being done, provisions high, little show
for prospecting, advising no one TO
come there ut present. Subsequent ac-
counts from the I" poor mans paradise
fully s~ubstantiatc what Jack White had
to say and prove him simply TO be what
he is, II man OF practical observation
and experience. The snow is deep,
roads very bad, accommodations scarce,
little work being done, provisions high,
very little show for prospecting, and it
is too early by at least two months to
90 There. White Pine is u very rich
country, beyond all doubt, but honest
White Piuers do not advise anyone TO
rush there just ut present.
