A DOLLAR m HIS POUCH.

IT'S pleasant when our friends are rich,
To meet them day by day,
Or good or i'll, no matter which,
Provided they eau Payj
But there is oue-you answer not
Who would or could ayouch
Esteem for one who hndu't got
A dollar in bis pouch!
IT'S pleasant with our friends to dine,
To sec them well arraycd,
To bumper them III costly wine
For which themselves have paid
To smoke with them, to drive about,
Share cup, cares and couch
Bu. could we know q man without
A dollar in his pouch !
The bride viii lore the pleading swain
Who holds at bis command
A handsome house, goolIy train
OF rquipagc and land;
But should his former fortunes cease to smile
Even lovc away will SLOUGH
Why can't the creature show a pile
or dollars in his pouchS
On sea, Oh shore, they seem to say
. He is rich, and can't be dull
The gold within bis portmonaic
They think can Gil his skull,
Let MummOn reign, let genius rot,
Let wit, love, vAlor crouch
Poor devil, If he has not got
A dollar in his pouch.

Daddy'g Boy.

Ina csrt,in small town on the Mississippi
lived mau who made ore,traIiDg q business.
He bought up horses for city,market, and
was considered pretty good on trade. One
day long, lean, queer, grscD,IOoking spccl-
men Of the Western country, arrived at the
dock with boat load OF horses. He inquired
for the horse jockey.
daddy sent me down with some horses,
he said, in halE.idiOtiC tone,
"Who's hcI"
Daddy"
"What do you want for your horses y
daddy said you could set your price" was
tho reply,
"Let me 60 down and look at your horses"
said Brown, and accordingly they were soon
on the boat.
Brown examined the horses, and named the
price he would give for this one and that, aud
the country pumpkin made no objections, al.
though some Of the offers were not more than
one.half Of tho real value Of the animal
One the by.standers gently suggested to the
countryman that he was being cheated, but he
returned:
Daddy, said Brown would set the price
himself" aud SO Brown had it all his own way.
At last they came to au animal which did
not look much superior to tho rest.
~ must have more for that ancrmal," he
said; "daddy says he can run some"
"Run!" said Browu, "that nag can't run
worth cent"
Daddy says so, and daddy knows"
"Why, I've got Que up to the stable that
can beat II all to hollow"
"Gucss not, SAID the fellow. "Lct's Try
'em. III bet tue whole boat load of horses
on him."
Brown smiled.
"I'llstakc Eve thousand dollars against your
boat load :" said Brown, winking 20 the crowd,
"aud these men" selecting two, "shail hold
the stakes"
Browns Eve thousand was entrusted to one,
and the other went 90 board the horse boat.
Oue of the crowd started to demonstrate
with the poor idiotic fellow, but he only re-
spouded: "GoIly dad told me he could run
some, and daddy ough; to lose EN- ii he was
such tarual fool as to tell me that, when he
couldn't"
Browus sleek racer was brought down, and
Brown mounted him. The countryman led
GU. his animal aud climbed on his back, look.
inr as uncOuth and awkward as the horse he
proposed to ride. :,
The word was given, and they started amid
The laughter of the crowd. At first brown
was ahead, and it looked as though the poor
fellow was to DO badly beaten, when his horse
suddenly plunged forward, aud the jockey was
lett far behind Such going had not been
seen in those parts for long time, mud poor
Brown was crestfallen, as the cheers Of the
bys,undcrs fell on his ears.
am take tho spondulix, said the country
man, riding up; dad was right. The amer
NAL can get around little"
Brown tried to say it wos a joke, but the
fellow would have his money.
Al guess won't trade to-day" he said, as
he put it 10 his old rough leather pOckctboOk.
"I'il 20 back to daddy"
In vain Brown tried to induce him to trade,
but be pushed of his boat, rcsoIutcly spying

ThsOosI strike.

Tho C0Rt StFtkes
TAMAQUA. Feb. 25.-The Philadelphia papers
recently contained a statement that q rumor was
circulating here to the effect that several coal
operators, with the Miners Association, are
taking steps to indict the railroad Presidents for
conspiracy for advancing tolls. So far as re-
CARDS the coal operators this Is incorrect, and
the rumor was not heard of here till it was seen
in the papers
a meeting of the Workingmen's Benevolent
Association was held on the 20th inst, to take
action upon a resolution adopted by the County
Executive Committee requiring such ss should
not secure the SO basis to stop all dead work,
which has heretofore been permitted by formal
resolution of the Grand Council. The meeting
was the largest ever held here, and the vote to
sustain the action of the committee was uDani-
nous. At Hazleton the same decision was
reached. At other places meetings of o like
character were held on the same day, all of
which, as far as heard from, sustained the action
If the committee.
Further Details Of the strike-NO Prospect of
PoTTsvILLE, Feb. 25.-The rumor current
on the street this morning that the men had
decided to resume work is unfOunded. Inform
alton from reliable source states that the men
positively refuse to resume on the basis adopted
by the Philadelphia meeting of operators on
the 23d instant. Everything is at sea now.
There is no telling when the resumption of
the miners in this region will take place. 1t is
difficult to obtain any information when the
men will resume. The prevailing opinion
among coal men is that the men will not re-
sumo within a month unless the $3 basis is paid
them.
ANOTHER DESPATCH
Meeting Of the Anthracite Board Of Trade
POTTsvILLE, Feb, 25.-A meeting of the COM
mittee of the Anthracite Board of Trade and
the WOrkingmen's Benevolent Association was
held here this morning. when the committee of
the workiDgmen refused to accept the terms
offered by the former. Their object is to reopen
negotiations, which will not be done.
The basis which they now reject is the same
one they voted unanimously to accept last No
vember, and which it is said was ratified By all
The divisions of the organization. There is
nothing further to report in the trade to-day.
