LOOK OUT FOR FIRE.-During this
dry season our citizens cannot observe
too much caution against fire. Al
though We have a good fire engine and
a well organized company, yet the
scarcity of cisterns and other means of
procuring water limits the use of the
firemen's apparatus to a very small
space of the city. The desolation OF
Yreka by fire, last week, is sad ex-
ample of what very little careIessness
may result in, and by guarding against
such gross negligence our citizens may
avert a similar fate.
CoxPLETED.-The engine house is
finished and formally accepted by the
Common Council. Tt is magnificent
structure and reflects great credit upon
the architect, Mr.. May. The plaster
ing by Geo. Humphrey is a superior
job, and the painting is also tastefully
done. The firemen are deseryedly
proud of their editice, and will take
special pains TO see that it is well cared
for and kept in neat and attractive
shape. 1t is undoubtedly the prettiesI
engine house in the State.
WIN. MCBRIDE, SEN, veteran
Democrat IS years old-paid us a visil
dudRgthe past week. He is as spry
on his feet as the average people o
middle age, and bids fair to live cen.
fury. He combines three of the essen
tiaI elements of a long life, viz: A
true Christian, an upright man. and
an unfiinching Democrat. Add these
to a vigorous and healthful physica
form, such as he possesses, and mar
would be good for hundred years o
life any time.
THE GIRCUs.-Mlle. Jea1 & Co..
Circus performed to full canvass il
this city last Friday evening. This il
an excellent show, comprising nrany
novel features in the. circus line and
superior amount of artistic talent.

Striking Confirmation Of the Bible.

\ very singular and striking con
fiji nation Of he truth OF certain an
cicnt Bible records has lately been
bl ought oIi&ht. The land of Moah
lH.ng { st OF the ,jo dan and Dead
Sea, being under Turkish rule. and
the authorities being Jealous Of all
the movements Of travellers, has
been q land OF mystery, and few and
far between have been explorations
of it. In 1868, he Rev. 1. \. Klein.
a pruSSian missionary at Jerusalem.
travelling IN Moab, under the pro,
lection oi al Arab Skeikh, diScov-
cred a remarkable stone among the
ruins OF the a. cirnt city Of Dibon.
The stone was originally three feet
and five inches in eight, and one foot
and nine inches in width and thick
ness, with an inscription OF thirty
four lines.
It is belle ed ori yinHll,y there were
eleven hundred letters on the stone,
but only six hundred and sixty nine
have been restored. as it was partially Y
broken in p rces after cUi osity con-
cerning it had led the Arabs to sup
pose it valuable. and that money
could be obt?;lcd Tor the separate
pieces. The in. 'ription was in the
ancient character used by the inliab-
itantS oi Mo,,b, and having been de-
ciphercd l,y adopts in this species OF
lore, if is satisfactorily ascertainetl
thnt the Inscription is older than
most OF the Old Testament, and was
beyond doubt made i'll the year that
Elijah the propI c, was translated
into heaven. 1t reads like a chapter
in the Bible, and gives strong confr-
nation to he faces related in the i'll
spired volume. 1t has an age OF. at
least tWcnty-ScVen hundred years,
being the work Of people who
dWelt in immediate connection with
the people Of Israel during the whole
period Of their marvellous history.
The inscription narrates the ACHE
vements Of King Mesha, the Moabite
monarch who fOugl ! against Jeho-
ram and Jc'lo. ,p;l2t. and speaks of
the vessels Of Jehovah taken from
the captured Ncbo and dedicated to
Chemorh, the national deity of the
conqucror. This inscl ption not only
depicts the wars between Israel and
Moab, so wildly pictured in the Old
Testament. but also Strikingly illus
trates the historical, geographical
and religious relations OF these king
dOms. There are few occurrences
more remarkable, even in This age of
surprises, than the manner in which
the Moabite stone has b III awakened
from the sleep OF thee thousand
years, 10 un,old the secret of language
and o. his, cry, and to conf III, by
lis emphatic testimony, the essential
accuracy Of the Book Of Books.

TO Make Mischief.

Keep your eye on your neighbors.
Take care of them. DO not let them
stir without watching. They may
do something wrong if you do. 10
be sure, YOU never knew them to ito
ANYTHING very bad, but it may be on
your account they have not. Per,
hans if it had not been for your kind
care they might have disgraced
themselves long time ago. There
fore do not relax any effort to keep
them where they ought to be. Never
mind your own business-that Will
take care of itself. There is a man
passing along-he is looking over
the fence-be suspicious OF him !;
perhaps he contemplates stealing
some of these dark nights; there is
no knowing what queer fancies he
may have got into his head.
If YOU find any symptoms OF any
one passing out of the path Of duty,
tell every one else what you see, and
be particular to see great many.
1t is a good way to circulate things,
though it may not benefit yourself
or any one else particularly. DO
keep something going-silence is
dreadful; though it is said there
was silence in heaven for the space
of half an hour, do not let any such
thing occur On earth; it would be
too much for this mundane spere.
If, after all your watchtu: care,
you cannot see anything out of the
way in any one, you may be sure 1t
is not because they have not done
bad; perhaps in an IN
guarded moment you lost sight OF
them-throw out hints that they are
no better than they should be-that
YOU should not wonder if the people
found out what they were after
awhile, then they may not carry
their heads so high. Keepit going,
and some one may take the hint and
begin to help you along after awhile
then there will bemusic andevery-
thing will work to a charm.-Ex.

What Real Love Is.

Many women suppose they love
their husbands, when, unfortunately,
they have not the beginning of an
idea what love is. Loving to be ad-
mired by man, loving to be petted
by him, and loving to be praised by
him, is not loving him. All these
NAV be, when a woman has no power
of loving at all they may be, sim,
ply because she loves herself, and
loves to be t1attered, praised, caress-
ed, coaxed, as a cat likes to he
coaxed and stroked, and fed with
cream, and have a warm corner.
Butall this is not love. Itmay exist
to be sure, where there is love; it
generally does. But it may also ex-
ist where there is no love. Love ii
self-sacrifice it is a life out of sell
and in another. Its very essence is
the preferring of the comfort, the
ease,. the wishes of another to ones
own, for the love we bear them.
Love is giving and not receiving.
Love is not sheet of blotting paper
or a sponge sucking in everything to
itself; it is an out-springing foun-
tain, giving from itself: Loves motto
has been dropped in this world as a
chance gem of great price, by the
loveliest, and fairest, the purest,
the strongest of lovers that ever trod
this mortal earth, Of whom it is re-
corded that He said, "It is more
blessed to give than to receive"
Now, in love, there are ten re-
ceivers to one giver. There are ten
persons in this world who like to be
loved, where there is one who knows
how to love. That is a nobler attain
ment than all your French, and
music and dancing. You may lose
the very power Of it by smothering
it under a load of early self-indul-
gence. BY living inst as you are all
wanting to live-living to be petted,
to be flattered, to be admired, to be
praised, to have your own way, and
to do only that which is easy and
agreeable-you may lose the power
of self-denial and self-sacriice; you
may lose the power of loving nobly
and worthily, and become a mere
sheet of blotting paper all your life.

Beautiful Things.
BY MRS. M. A. KIDDER.

A gentle voice, heartfelt sigh,
A modest blush, a speaking eye,
A manner unaffected, free;
These things are beautiful to me.
A ready hand, lovingsheart,
A sympathy that's free from art,
A real friend among the few;
These things are beautiful and true.
A mothers prayer, and answer mild,
An aged sire, little child,
A happy home, cheerful hearth;
These things are beautiful on earth.
A Joyful song, a chorus sweet,
Aud earnest soul and willing feet,
A day of peace, a night of rest;
These things ale beautiful and blest.
A sisters love, a brothers care,
A spotless name, jewel rare,
A cIeanly tongue that will not lie;
These things are beautiful-and why
Because they are all born of love,
And emanate from God above,
And Earnest of the heavenly birth,
These things are beautiful on earth.

At Reese river, California, mild
looking, rather old man was holding
forth on the orthodox religious belief
founded on the Bible, in the course
Of which he condemned the foolish
superstitiOns of q certain religious
body. He spoke of a tradition that
existed in Switzerland, and which
was devoutly believed by the simple
people, of churches being built in
night by angels, which, he said, ap-
peared too absurd for human belief.
AS he finished, a tall, dust-covered
-whackcr, who had listened to
him attcntively, took off his battered
hat and flung it on the ground, and
asked, in a laundering tone: " You
don't believe in the story of angels

RAILLERY OF A CHICKEN THIEF.

RAILLERY OF A CHICKEN THIEF.
A story is told of Dick, a darkey
in Kentucky, who was q NOTORIOUS
thief, so vicious in this respect, that
all the thefts in the neighborhood
were charged to him. On one Occa-
sion Mr.. Jones, a neighbor of Dicks
master, called and said that" Dick
must be sold out of that part of the
country, for he had stolen all his
(Jones) turkeys. Dicks master cou d
not think so. The two, however,
went into the field where Dick was
hard at work, and accused him of
the theft.
"You stole Mr.. jones' turkeys,n
said the master.
"No, | didn't massa" responded
Dick.
The master persisted.
"Well," at length said Dick, "pll
tell you massa; / didn't steal dem
turkeys, but last night I went across
Mr.. jones' pasture, and saw one of
your rails ON de fence, so | brought
home de rail, and confound it, when

ACalifornia paper tells the follow
ing story to illustrate the knack of
the Chinese to do whatever anybody
else can: Not far from San Jose a
gentleman wanted fourteen houses
built. A Chinaman took the job, and
hired an American carpenter to build
one of them. While he was doing
so, the Celestials laid around and
watched every movement he made.
AS soon as he finished it, the China
men discharged him, and erected
the others themselves. When they
were done, the best judges could
not tell which was built by the white
man,
