A year ago I dined in San Fran
cisco with the family of a pioneer,
and talked with his daughter, a
young lady whose first experience
in San Francisco was an adventure,
though she herself did not remem-
Der it, as she was only two or three
years old at the time. Her father
said that, after landing from the ship,
they were walking up the street, a
servant leading the party, with the
little girl in her arms. And pres
emily huge miner, bearded, belted,
and bristling with deadly weapons,
just down from long mining cam
paign in the mountains evidently,
barred the way, stopped the servant,
and stood gazing with face all alive
with qualification and establishment.
Then he said reverently, "Well, if it
amt child" And then he snatched
little leather sack out of his pocket,
and said to the servant, 'There's a
hundred and fifty dollars in dust
there, and I'll give it to you to let
me kiss the child!" But see how
things changs! Sitting at that din
ner table, listening to that anecdote,
if had offered double the money for
kissing the same child l would have
been refused! Seventeen added years
had far more than doubled the price.

Rather q Joke.

The editor of the Bdzoo, a violent
Copperhead paper in Missouri, find
ing on his table the other day the
cards of a married couple, accompa-
MED by liberal refreshments, wrote
up the affair in his best style, not
withstanding he knew neither of the
parties. He casually mentioned the
"fair and blushing bride," the "good
qualities Of head and heart" of the
bridegroom, windingup with choice
poetic extract. The pith of the joke
lies in the fact that the "happy
couple" were negroes, and that since
the puff appeared all the colored peo-
pie of that section of country, who
contemplate marrying, are anxious
to have their marriage put in de
paper like dat oder colored couple"

Submits few paragraphs by way of
sample:
The first thing that happens to a
little girl is that she is a baby. The
mothers of little girls are nothing
but women, but the fathers Of little
boys are men; and here begins the
ridiculous and tyranical distinction
between the education and privileges
of the sexes Little boys can grow
to be old men or old women, just as
they choose. George Francis Train,
one of the most remarkable old wO-
men Of the age, was little boy once;
but little girls are not allowed to be-
come old men; and as few of them
wish to become old women; they
have little chance to work out any
glorious achievement.
Girls are divided into two classes,
the homely and the beautiful. BY
beautiful girls i mean the sort OF
girls you mean. Beautiful girls
know they are beautiful, and homely
girls often think they are. ! never
| heard of, an instance where one girl
really thought another was beautiful.
/ never see beautiful girl without
feeling a strong desire to take her in
my arms and kiss her; but the feel
ing is not reciprocated. This is an
other proof Of the defects in modern
female education.

Through which the sunbesms brightly shone,
Through half the summer day;

Among the garden flowers
The music Of the rustling leaves
That woke the passing hours;
The porch where roses fondly cling,
The door that opened wide,

A Bear story.

We remember very comical bear
that belonged to Mr.. Hammond, and
amused with his tricks the mirth-
loving people of Paris, in Oxford
County, many years ago. He was
captured when little cub, and was
brought up by hand as one of the
family. He claimed the warmest
place on the hearth stone, and nestled
in cold weather with the dogs before
the fire. None of the pet animals
about the farm were tanner than he;
and none loved better to climb up
into his masters lap and receive his
caress, or better understood the whims
of his mistress when begging for a
choice morsel. His serious counte-
nance always gave great effect to his
antics; and he seemed to understand
when he caused laugh among the
household. AS he was Of prying
disposition, and forever peeping into
every hole, the family were obliged
to lock up everything, even the
closets where they kept their cloth
ing. When he took it into his head
to make up nest, it was all the
same to him whether the articles he
heaped together were wooden or fur,
cotton or silk. If a hen cackled when
the egg was laid, Mr.. Bear under
stood it as well as any of the family
or the feathered tribe; and if he was
not prevented, he would find it and
suck it before the cackling fowl had
ceased her song.
One Sunday the family went to
church, and left the bear at home
alone. Bruin improved the oppor-
tunity, and rummaged all over the
house in search of fun or something
to eat. Unfortunately, the good
house wife had left the cellar door
unlocked and ajar; and it was not
long before the bear discovered it,
and crept down the stairs. Once
down in the cellar, he espied the
molasses barrel; and if there was
anything in the house he was excess
lively fond of, it was molasses or
honey. Bruin paved over the bar
rel, licked the tightly-driven bung,
and was about abandoning it in de-
spair, when he espied the spite.
Grasping it with his strong teeth, he
easily withdrew it, and out came the
thick molasses in steady stream, to
the great delight Of the bear, who
clapped his mouth to the hole, and
sucked away with grunts of self-sat-
isfactiOn.
The molasscs still flowed, and still
the bear kept his mouth to the ORR
fee, pausing now and then to take q
long breath. At length he was full;
his stomach could hold ne more; yet
his appetite was not satisfied. He
squatted on his launches and viewed
the still running stream with dis
gust, to think that the supply was SO
abundant, and that, alas! he could
hold no more. The molasses had
now run out in large quantity, and
had formed a great pool on the floor;
and Bruin dove into it, and rolled
him self thousand times in the thick
fl uid, until his shaggy coat was COW
cred, from his nose to his tail, with
dirt, and gravel stones!
There he lay in the sweet pool, the
picture of dissatisfaction, as cats
roll and tumble in q field Of. the cat
nip herb. All at once Mr.. Bear
became sick at the stomach! and it
was new sensation to him-some-
thing he had never felt before. AS
he grew worse, he thought Of his

they like it-and l think they do.
l was f0rty-seven, when / courted
my second wife; but it seemed just
as nice to sit on a little cricket at her
feet, and let her smooth my hair, as
it did thirty years ago.
AS said before, my wife is very
smart woman, but she couldn't be
anything else and be a Baxter. She
used to give lectures on woman's
rights; and in one place where she
lectured a big College conferred the
title of L. L. d. upon her. But she
wouldn't take it. "No gentlemen"
said she, "give it to the poor" She
was always SO charitable. She gave
my boys permission to go barefoot
all winter, and insisted upon it in
such kind way that they couldn't
refuse.
She fairly dotes on my children,
and I've seen her many time 60 to
their trousers pockets and take out
their pennies after they had got to
sleep, and put them in her bureau
for fear they might lose them.
/ started to tell you about my
wife's bridal tour, but the fact is, !
never could find out much about it
myself. I believe she had a good
time. She came back improved in
health, and l found out, before she'd
been in the house twenty-four hours,
that she'd gained in strength also.
l don't say how / found it out.
SimnlY say / found it out.

In conclusion, l would say to all
young men: Marry your second wife
first; and keep out of debt, by all
means, even if you have to borrow
money to do it.
