A New VERSION OF AN OLD Story

A New VERSION OF AN OLD STORY
l commenced being good at very
early age, and built myself up on the
best models. [ was yet an infant when
/ read the affecting story of hacking
down the cherry tree by George Wash
ington, and his manly statement to his
father that he could not tell lie [
read the story, and it filed me with
desire to surpass him. / was not going
to allow any such boy as George Wash
ington, if he did afterward get to be
President, to excel me in the mortah-
ties. Immediately [ seized an axe, and
cut down the most valuable cherry tree
my father had; and more, ] dug up the
roots and burned the branches, SO that
by no means could the variety be pro-
duced, 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 exper-
iments were, I regret to say, partial
failures. / was very much like Wash
ington, but The trouble was my father
did not resemble George Washington's
father, which was essential to the sue
cess of my scheme. "Did you cut
down the cherry tree?" asked he.
'sFather, [ cannot tell a lie. I did it
with my little hatchet,n [ answered,
striking the proper attitude for the old
gentleman to shed tears on me. But
he didn't shed. He remarked that he
had rather I had told a thousand lies
than to have me cut down that partic
ular tree, and he whipped me till [ was
in state of exasperated rawness. My
skating idea was no less a failure; [
broke through the ice that Sunday and
was pulled out with difficulty a
boat hook. AS lay sick for a month
with fever, [ didn't get chance to
get off the Washington remark.-0furk

MONTANA WONDERS. The following
items pertaining to Montana, are from
the Pick and Plow: A species of the
suger maple is found in the canons of
Montana, and it has been ascertained
that it's his sap isa sstrongly saccharine
as the sap of the eastern sugar maple.
Many have seen and admired the
rock globes found on the Cannon Ball
river, which empties in to the Missouri
river. They are perfect spheres, vary
ing in size from marbles to many pounds
weight. Broken open, the centre is
found to closely resemble iron ore, and
theyz.give forth an unmistakable metallic
ring when struck wit hammer. An
other stream has been found in eastern
Montana in which these wonders
abound. The popular notion oftheir
formation is that they are the reault c.
descending lava, which has been thrown
up to an immense height by volanic
convulsions-th same physical law
acting that is applied in the manufac-
ture of shot.
The country about the Great Geysers
of the Upper Yellowstone is filed with
congars, or mountain ions-next to the
grizzly the most dangerous and feroc-
ious animals of North America. They
burrow in the earth, but will climb
trees with the agility of a timber squir-
rel, and run fast enough to capture the
mountain hare in a fair race.

TIE HOUSEHOLD ANGEL.


Her name shines not in hammered field,
Where right and wrong so boldly war;
Nor rings her voice in any cause
Which men and women battle for
Yet IN her presence subtle, sweet,
You long to kneel and kiss her feet.
owondrous romance wreathes her life
Nor hath she led martyr train;
Nor beautiful nor rich is she,
But poor, and-some would call her plain;
Yet in her two dear eyes you see
beauty shining constantly.
No silken robe enfolds her form:
Nor dainty leisure has her hands;
Her jewels are simple ring;
A ribbon binds her hairs smooth bands;
Yet in her garments simple grace
Her souls regality you trace
No gift she has to shake and thrill
tbankless world with warbled songs,
And art that wakes the ivory keys
To other hands than hers belong;
Yet in her words of tender cheer
richer music charms the ear
She walks in humble ways of life,
That lead oftimes thro' gloom and shade;
And cares and crosses, not a few,
Are on her patient shoulders laid
Yet smiles and drinks each bitter cup.
And Keeps her brave eyes lifted up.
And homely ways she wreathes with grace
Harsh duty turns to loving zest;
And CHEEKY hope and steadfast will
Are at her side, in work and rest:
Yet never dreams she You can spy
The angel looking from here eye.

While railroads of Western Tennessee
had,not vet rebuilt bridges and culverts,
and their rails were still crooked by the
iron hand of war-while there WA neither

STOLEN TENNESSEE BONDs-A sUG.
GEsTION TO TIE LEGISLATURE

GENhlOA IO AAE
When the law was enacted which en-
sbled Tenness silwsys TO extinguish
their indebtedness, the then attorney
oanersl and comptroller were Instructed
bv the legislature TO see that none OF the
stolen bonds were accepted by the State.
The Legislature itself, was too unwieldy q
body 20 make this investigation, and It's
committees never have time 10 make
thorough inquiries. The duty of protect
ing the state was therefore assigned to
the Encouragement and to the comptnoll-
er. How was this duty discharged The
sction Of the legislature was OF itself an
assertion Of the invalidity Of B~rownlow's
Mineral Home and other bonds. But
what was the result? McGhee's roads
reigued at Nashville, and McGhee and his
associates organized a ring in wall street.
This rings outer circumference embraced
even Nashville. Brownlow's Mineral
Home and other like stolen securities
were utterly discredited by this ~ipjune-
ton imposed upon the stto~rney-generEl
and comptroller, and McGhee's ring went
tori the deprecated sulphurous Mineral
Home paper. Old Brimstone's issues
wsrs swallowed Gd nasSeEa, and when
spewed up by the ring, were gulped down
b the comptroller, aver as pelicans feed

rHE BIRTHSTONE RONDS.

When the Law enabling railroads to pay
their dues TO the State in State bonds wss
first enacted, roads in East Tennessee
were first, because least harmed by war,
to pay their debts. They went into Wall
street and bought Brownlow's bonds.
These bonds were known by their sui
phurous smell, and were therefore gen.
orally called 'Mineral Home" OF
they were sin bad odor." They smelt of
Brownlow snd birthstone. A bull in
Wall street could not be driven, even if
his tail were twisted by the rude grasp of
speculative mania, to smell q mineral
Home" The bears clswed at them most
~gingerly. Then it was that East Tennes-
see railroad companies, accustomed to
contact with Brownlow, gathered upthese
fraudulently issued discredited bonds,
and with them extinguished their cebt
to the State. Now, the Governor of Ten
nessee would deprive roads that have
complied with every obligation to the
State, Of the poor privilege Of taking up
genuine, honest State securities. What
fairness is there in this2 Honest men
from East Tennessee will be the last to
consent to this deprivation Of right TO
which 1t is proposed to subject the rail-
ways Of the western district.
