ONLY stray sunbeam! Yet perchance it
has cheered some wretched abode or glad
dened some stricken heart, or its golden
light has found its way through the leafy
branches of some wild wood, kissed the
moss-covered bank where the tiny violets
grow, and shades of beauty TO adon It's
lovely form. Onlya gentle breeze! But
how many aching brows hath it famed
how many hearts have been cheered by its
gentle touch. only a frown But it left a
sad, dreary ache in that chd's heart, and
the quivering lip and fearful eyes told how
keenly he felt it. only a SMILE But, ah,
it cheered the broken heart, engendered a
ray of hope, and cast halo of light around
the unhappy patient; made the bed-rdden
one forget his present agony for moment
in the warmth Of the sunshine. only a word
of encouragement, a single word. 1t gives
to the dropping spirit new life, and the steps
press on to victory.

TARANTULAR CULTIVATION curious vo-
cation, though perfectly legitimate. S. F.
Schaffle, of this (Murphy's) Camp, is actu-
ally engaged in cultivatng the above named
insects, for the Eastern market, and for tour
lists to the big Trees" The construction
of the cells is peculiar, and no ANIMAL fowl,
Or other insect has ever yet been found that
builds anything to compare with it. Their
cells are from three to eighteen inches deep,
with waterproof lining, coated over with
a substance looking like shammy, but fine as
silk velvet, with door, or lid which they
close after them when they 90 in and when
they have their young they latch it, bolt it,
and then seal it perfectly water tight. They
increase about 150-fold annually. Mr.. S.
informs me that they increase, after trans
planting, some four fold in size, in from two
to five years, after which they build new
cell, to accommodate their additional corpu-
lency.-Cor. Rural Press.

HEAVY SUIT AGAINST THE SUBSIDY CROWD.
Placer county claims that there is now
due her from the Central Pacific Railroad in
money and property earned while she was
large stakeholder, sum estimated in round
numbers to be between 81 600 600 and So, )
600 900, and the Board of Supervisors of
that county have authorized the commence
ment of suit against the railroad compa-
ny for the recovery of the money. If this
suit is properly and honestly prosecuted on
the part of the county, it will bring to the
surface the secret contracts of the company
and involve a complete overhauling of their
books. But we do not believe the suit will
be honestly conducted, and we doubt if it is
in the power of the people of Placer county to
recover their just due from the company
There is a large sum Of money at stake, and
if the managers of the Central Pacific were
pushed to the wall in this case their stock
now on the market would be seriously dep
rcated, and the public would come in pos
session of facts which Stanford & Co. much
prefer should not see the light. 1t behooves
the taxpayers of Placer county to watch
their case with argus eyes, and if possible
prevent the perpetuation of swindle upon
themselves by allowing the suit to degener-
ate into farce in which the scenes are shifted
and the play played out by actors in the
pay of the railroad company. Let the great
monopoly be forced to refund every cent due.

TRuTHFULNEss AT HoME.-Of all happy
households, that is the happiest where false
hood is never thought of. All peace is brok-
en- up when once it appears there is liar in
the house. All comfort is gone when sus-
picion has once entered-when there must
be reserve in talk and reservation in belief.
Anxious parents, who are aware of the
pains of suspicion, will place general conf
dence in their children and receive what they
say freely, unless there is strong reason to
distrist the truth of any one. If such an
occasion should unhapply arise, they must
keep the suspicion from spreading as long as
possible, and avoid disgraeing their poor
child while there is chance of its cure by
their confidential assistance. He should
have their pity and assduous help, as he
were suffering under some bodily disorder
If he can be cured he will become duly CRATE
full for the treatment If the endeavor fails,
means must of course be taken to prevent
his example from doing harm; and then, as
said, the family confidence is gone. fear,
that from some cause or another, there are
but few large families where every member
is altogether truthful. But where all are SO
organized and so trained as to be wholly re-
liable in act and word, they are light to
all eyes and a joy to all hearts. They ar
public benefits, for they are point of gen.
eral reliance; and they are privately blessed
within and without Without, their life is
made easy by universal trust; and within
their hearts they have the security Of recti-
tude and the gladness of innoce nee -Har-

'Ts not the forms exquisits mould,
The silken curl's voluptuous flow,
The lightsome step, the witching eye,
The small white hand and snowy brow.
Can that be beautiful that fades
Like rainbows from the clouds of dun
That withers at the touch of Time.
Like flowers beneath burning sun
What are the charms SO boasted of
A heeting glance, passing smile
A form whose graceful lineaments
Conceal, too oft, the heart of guile.
A vain and vacant smile may play
On rosy lip and dimpled chin;
The eye may brightly glance away,
Yet give no token of a mind Within
But, ah! the mind, the undying mind.
Hath holier beauty Of its own
A charm that fingers on to bless
When outward lovelnes has flown;
Aye, fingers when the cheek is pale
And care has dimmed the eye of mirth,
Unaltered by the frosts of Time
Or changing circumstance of earth.

LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

/. Subscribers who do not give express notice
10 the contrary, are considered as wishing to

SICK OF HM.-The community is becom-
ing sick of Horace Hawes and his humbug
donations. When a man has outlived his
usefulness, if he ever had any, and serves
only to cumber the earth, what great pity
it is he cannot die and be done with it. II
Hawes thinks he can make peace with man
kind by the absurd propositions which he
parades before the world, he is greatly mis-
taken. We advised him some time ago to
use his surplus funds to build himself a
splendid sarcophagus and then proceed to
crawl into it and hide himself from his fellow
men forever This would raise him in their
estimation far more than his absurd and rid
iculous requests. .-Eramnaer

up the stockings and hit father on the head
with them, and it sounded as though they
were sticks of wood. Father then stuffed
hot wheat-cake down mothers throat, and
