AN IMMENSE LUMBER BUSINESS.

-
Persons not familiar with the bust
ness have no idea.of the vast amoun
of lumber which is being manufac-
tured from the pine forests on the
eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada
Mountains, and when finds its chief
market in this State and to the east
ward. Statistics recently furnished
show that forty millions of feet We're
shipped eastward over the Central Pa
citic Railroad alone for the year 1870.
to say nothing of the immense amount
consumed at Virginia. Carson and in
the country to the southwark not sup

lumber cut and shipped from the great
timber mart which has its center at

spruce and fir is also cut by the lum-
Der companies. Nevada. Utah, south

are all supplied to Il greater or less cX-

A MisS-FnIi.

Quite an interesting incident occurred

licve, has not as yet been chronicled. Any
inquirer is very easily satisfied of its truth
by the blush that his question Of inquiry

esteemed maiden lady appears to have

next door neighbor's gossip. Now, II so
happened that one evening the aforesaid
couple were entertaining before the cheer
ful Gre two nfiieds, gentlemen and lady.
Our eyerwatchful friend, bearing the
chatter and laughter in her ncighbor's
room, became suspicious and determined
that she must be tie object Of this ill-timed
mirth. Led by oyer-anxious curiosity,
she asscended pair at ladder-steps, and
tripping noiselessly over the wooden joist,
she stood listening right over the room OF

Hard Times and What Causes
Them

We are fast becoming nation Of schem-
ers to live without genuine work. Our
boys are not learning trades; our farmers
sons are crowding into cities, looking for
clerkships and petty Offices; hardly one
American girl in each hundred will do
housework for wages, however urgent her
need so we are sending to Europe for
workmen and buying of her artisans mil
lions worth of products that we ought to
make for ourselves. Though our crops of
rascals is heavy, we do not grow our own
hemp; though we are overrun with lads
who deserve fiagellation, we import our
willows. Our women (unless deeeived)
shine in European fabrics our mefdress
in foreign clothes; the toys which amuse
our younger children have generally reach
cd us over sea. Hence it is that in spite
of our high tariff, we plunge deeper and
deeper into the debt to the Old World
not nearly SO fast as we would under a
free trade policy, but still entirely too
fast. We are like the farmer who hires
his neighbors' sons to cut his wood, feed
his stock, and run his errands, while his
own boys lounge at the grog-shOp, playing
billiards, and then wonders why. in spite
of his best efforts, he sinks annually deep
er and deeper into debt, till the Sheriff
cleans him out, and he starts west to be-
gin again.
We must turn over new leaf. Our
boys and girls must be taught to love labor
by qualifying themselves to do it efficient
". We must turn out fewer professions
ais and more skilled artisans, as well as
food-growers. We must grow and fabri-
cate two hundred millions worth per an
num that we now import, and so reduce
the foreign debt that We have so long and
so successfully augmented year by year.
We must qualify our clever boys to erect
and run factories, furnaces, rolling-mills,
tanneries, machiue-shops,e ETC., to open and
work mines, improve and fashion imple-
ments, and double the present product OF
their fathers farm. So shall we stem the
tide OF debt that sets steadily against our
shores, and ceases to be visited and annoy
ed by hard times.

Anew Ycrsien Of am Old story.

| commenced being good at very
early age. and built myself up on the
best models. [ was yet an infant when L
red the affecting story Of hacking down
the cherry tree by George Washington,
aud his manly statement to his father
that he could not tell lie. L red the
story and it filed me with desire to sur
pass him. I was not going to allow any
such boy as George Washington. If he
did afterward get to be President, to ex-
cell me in the moralities. Immediately
I seized an axe, and cut down the most
valuable cherry tree my father had and
more, I dug up the roots and burned the
branches, so that by no means could the
variety be procured, and | went skating
one Sunday, so that | might confess the
two faults, and be wept over and forgiven
on account of my extreme truthfulness.
The experiments we're, regret to say,
martial failures. | was very much like
Washington. but the trouble was my faith

father. which was essential to the success
of nv scheme. sDid you cut down the
cherry tree % asked he. "Father.I / cannot
tell a lie. did it with my little hatchet, -
] answered, striking the proper attitude
for the old gentleman to shed tears on me.
But he didn't she'd. He remarked that
he had rather I had told thousand lies
than to have me cut down that particular
tree. and he WHIPPED me till was in a
state of exasperated rawness. My skating
idea was no less failure broke through
the ice that Sunday and was pulled out
with dificulty-and boat-hook. AS lay

DON'T SELL FATHER RUM.

BY MRS. NELLIE II. BRADLEY.
Don't sell him another drink. please;
He's reeling already, you see,
And fear when he comes home tonight,

She's waiting in darkness and cold,
And dreading to hear him cone;
He treats us so bad when he's drunk
Oh! don't sell him any more rum.
heard mother praying last night
She thought was quite sound asleep;
She prayed God her husband TO save,
His soul from temptation to keep.
She cried like her poor heart would break;
So, trying tc comfort her some,
told her I'd beg you to-day
Not to sell father any more rum.
Why don't you have something to sell
That will not make people so sad;
That will not make dear mother grieve,
And kind father cruel and bad?
Ah, me! it is hard; and see
You're angry because L have come;
Forgive poor little girl.
And don't sell her dear father rum!

WASHINGTON, March 81, 1871

A Newcastle, Pennsylvania, journal
records a. genuine case in that vicinity of
death from disappointment in love. The
victim was young lady, whose lover,
giving ear to SANDER, broke off the engage
ment between them. The girl, who was by
constitution strong and healthy previously,
after this infdelity began to decline rapidly,
and few DAYS ago she died, undoubtedly
the victim, as all who knew her believe, OF
crushed hopes and disappointed affection.
In hearing of an instance OF this KIND, one
is almost tempted tc wish, that there We're
no such thing as love in this world, or elsa
that women were less sensitive.
