A story with a Moral.

A Connecticut exchange tells the
following story of boy who was
sent from Groton, Conn, with bag
of green corn. The boy was gone all
day, and returned with the bag un-
opened, which he dumped on the
floor, saying:
"There's your corn go and sell it
! can't.
"Sold any?"
"No; I've been all over London
with it, and nobody said anything
concerning green corn. Two or three
fellows asked me what l had in my
bag, and | told them 1t was none OI
their business what it was!
The boy is not unlike hundreds ol
business men, who will probably call
him n fool for not telling what he
had to sell. They are actually doing
the same thing on n much larger
scale than did the boy, by not adver.
tising their business in the papers.

A shin I'm "a California Desert.

BY many ii has been held as the
ory that the Yuma desert was once
All ocean bed. At intervals pools OF
salt water have stood for u while in
the midst of the surrounding waste
of sand, disappearing only to rise
again in the same or other localities.
a short time ago one of these saline
lakes disappeared, and party of ln-
dians reported the discovery Of IA "big
ship" left by the receding waves. A
party of Americans at once proceed
ed to the spot, aud found imbedded
in the sands the wreck of "A large ves-
sci. Nearly one-third of the forward
part of the ship or bark is plainly
visible. The stump of the bowsprit
remains, and portions of the wreck
are perfect. The wreck Is located
forty miles north of the San Bernar-
dino and Fort Yuma road, and thirty
miles west of Los Palmos, well
known watering place on the desert.
The road across the desert has been
travelled for more than one hundred
years. The history of the ill-fated
vessel can, OF course, never be known,
but the discovery of its decaying
/ timbers, In the midst of what has
/ long been desert, will furnish saw
ans with food for discussion, and may
perhaps, furnish important aid in tine

The Fruits of lsadicaIisnl.

First-The people of the United
States are taxed $40 2S per capita in
1860.
Second-Instead of having funded
the debt at low rate of interest, the
bonds are not even printed, and the
six per cent. bonds are still under par
in Europe.
Third0The expenditure of $50, ,0oo,
900 for War purposes in u time of pro-
found peace, is dangerous to our lib
critics and disgraceful to u republican
form of government.
Fourth-The expenditure Of S2l,-
100, 900 for the navy is disgrace, in
asmuch AS we have nothing to show
for it.
Fifth-The reduction of internal
taxes is entirely in favor of capital
and monoplies.
Sixth-1'he gold which our people
so much need at home IL shipped to
Europe to buy bonds at a premium
which are not due for fourteen years.
Seventh The currency furnished
to our people Is worth eighty-six cents
on the dollar.
Eighth-The Government IL con-
trolled by the monopolist of Massa-
chusetts.
TO remedy these evils let the peo
pie rally to the standard of the DEM
ocratic party, which is fighting theil
battles against monopolies, land-grab
bers, protectionists and class legisla
ton of every description, hoping to
restore the Government to the hon
est administration which prevailed
before the Republican party came In

AMundred Years to Come.

No man ever appears to think how
soon he may sink into oblivion--that
we are one generation Of millions. -
Yet such Is the fact. Time and prog
ress have through countless ages
come marching hand in hand--tho
one destroying, the other building up.
They seem to create little or no COM
motion, and the work is as easily &C.
complished rs child will pull to
pieces rose. Yet such is the lact.--
A hundred years hence, and much
that we now see around us lave pass
ed away. 1t is but a repetition OF
life's story, we are born, we die; and
hence we will grieve over those ven-
erable piles, and the common level OF
their prototypes in nature ultimate
death.
We all within our grave shall sleep,
n hundred years to come;
No living soul for us will weep,
A hundreds years TO come.
But other men our land will till,
And other men our streets will MI
And other birds shall sing as gay.
AS bright the sunshine as to-day,
hundred years to come.

1t is the easiest thing In the world
to be happy, II men and women
would only think so. Happiness Is
only another name for love; for where
love exists I'm a household there hap
piness must also exist, even though IL
has poverty for a close companion. -
Where love exists not, even though
1t be In palace, happiness can never
come. He was cold selfish being
who Originated the saying that
"when prOverty comes In at the door,
love flies out at the window" and his
assertion proves conclusively that he
had no knowledge Of love, for unqucs-
tionably the axiom quoted Is nearer
the truth. When poverty comes In
at the door, love, truelove Is more than
ever inclined to tarry and do battle
with the enemy. Let those who i'm
agine themselves miserable, before
they find fault with their surround
ings, search in their own hearts for
the true cause. A few kind words, or
little forbearance, will often open
the way to food of sunshine IN a
house darkened by the clouds of dis.
cord and unamiability.

RUNNING A NEWSPAPER.

The Memphis Avalanche has the
following very suggestive paragraph,
which should be carefully read and
pondered by q certain class of news
paper readers:
By some unaccountable misap-
prehens.on Of facts, there Is large
class of people in the world, who
think that it costs little or nothing to
run newspaper, and if they buy a
copy from the ncwsboy, when too far
from the office to come and beg one,
they are regular patrons and entitled
to unlimited favors. Men call every
day at newspaper-offices to get u copy
Of the daily paper, just from press, for
nothing, who would never dream of
begging a pocket-handkerchief from
dry-g oods store, an apple from y
fruit-stand, or piece of candy from a
confectioner, even upon the plea OF
old acquaintance, having bought
something once before. One paper is
not much, but a hundred day
amounts to something in the course
of time. But this is q small drain
compared with the free advertising a
newspaper is expected to do. Some
men who have paid two dollars at an
early period of life for an advertise.
rneht worth four or five, appear tC
think they are ockholdeIs in the es.
tablishment for eternity. They de-
mand the publication of all marriage
and funeral notices, obituaries anC
family episodes, for the next forty
years gratis. Speak of pay and they
grow indignant. Don't I patronizt
your paper?' Yes; but you receive
the worth of your money for wha
you paid But, says the patron, Il
will not cost you anything to put thi'
linz which is just as ridiculous as t,
ask man to grind your AK on hi
grind-stone, and graciously tell hin
that it won't cost him u cent. I
