The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "Go " AND
"CoME. "-"If you want your business
done" says the proverb, ego and do it; il
you don't want it done, send some one else. "
An indolent gentleman had freehold estate,
producing about fve hundred year. Be-
coming involved in debt, he sold half the
estate, and let the remainder to an indus
trious farmer for twenty years. About the
end Of the term, the farmer called to pay
his rent, and asked the owner if he would
sell his farm.
"Will you buy it2" asked the owner,
surprised.
eyes, provided we can agreo about the
price"
"That is exceedingly strange" observed
the gentleman; "pray tell me how it hap
pens that while could not live upon twice
as much land, for which | paid no rent, you
are regularly paying me two hundred year,
and are able in few years to purchase it.
"The reason is plain, was the reply; "you
sat still and said go! l got up and said
come. You lay in bed and enjoyed you
estate; rose in the morning and minded my
business. s.-SeU Help.

The SIZE OF THE UNIoN.--It is said that
there is only one man who has a correct idea
of the size of the United States, and he is
the man who drove yoke Of oxen in 1850
81 from Maine to California. However this
may be, the newspaper remark, few peo-
pie realize tho inmensty of our territorial
area" ia true. There are in the great West
eleven Territories, two or three of which are
twice or three times as large as all New
England; and it is small Territory that is
not at least ten times as large as Massachu-
sets. Colorado is thirteen times as large as
Massachusetts,, while Dakota and Arizona
are half as large again as Colorado. The
eleven Territories, as accurately as can now
be ascertained, contain over one billion and a
quarter of acres, excelling by nearly two
hundred thousand square miles the aggre-
gate territory of the present admitted States
of the Union. The Territory Of Alaska,
containing 800, ,527 600 acres, is included in
the number stated.

A Coon JoKE.-A capital joke, and all
the more palatable because it is true, and
can be vouched for, took place few Sun
days since at one of the prominent Fourth
street churches. 1t seems that worthy
deacon has been very industrious in selling
a new church book costing seventy-Gve cents.
At the service in question, the minister, just
before dismissng the congregation, arose and
said: "All you who have children to baptize
will please present them next Sabbath"
The deacon, who by the way was a little
deaf, and having an eye to selling books,
and suppqsing his pastor was referring to
them, immediately jumped up and shouted;
"And all you who haven't any, can get as
many as you want by calling on me, at 75
cents each" The preacher looked crQss-eyed
at the deacon, the audience pnched each
other in the side; the bubble grew larger un-
til it burst in loud gutfaw; ladies colored
up, crimsoned, blushed, and thanked the
Lord for the low price of peopling the earth.

SURE CURE FOR NEURALGIA.-The Nor
walk Gazette says; ga friend of ours who
suffered horrible torture from neuralgia, hear
ing of noted physician in Germany who in
vaIiably cured that disease, crossed the ocean mn
was permanently cured after short sojourn,
and the doctor gave him the simple remedy
used, which was nothing but poultice and
tea made from our common field thistle.
The leaves are macerated and used on the
parts afflicted as a poultice, while small
quantity of the leaves are boiled down in
proportion Of quart to pint, and small
wine glass Of the decoction drank before each
meal. Our friend says he has never known
it to fail Of giving relief, while in almost
every case it has effected cure. 1t is GER
tainlv worth trial.

50 WEARY.

Weary of watching the hours in their fight;
Weary of wishing and waiting for light;
Longing for rest in the cold, silent tomb;
Wishing the angels would summon me home,
Over the river so deep and so wide
Oh! where shall rest beyond the dark tide?
All of life's sunshine forever is gone;
All the bright hopes that have beckoned me on
Were long ago wrecked on life's desoate strand
And my soul turns back to its fatherland,
With only this longing earnest request
l M SO weary of earth-life-oh! let me rest,

And is it true what am told,
That you and are getting old;
And if it's true what people say,
The hair once black is turned to gray?
Useless to say you are aware
That my head is already bare,
And was told the other day
That yours was turned to silver gray.
Some have no brains to shake hair,
Nor change the color, declare;
And though their hair is black as SCOT,
They'd not enough to shake root.
Apart from all we hear or see.
We're older than we used to be,
And time is swiftly passing by,
1t will not wait for you or 1.
And yet you live single life,
And without comfort, JOY or wife;
If you intend, think it's time
To marry, while you're in your prime.
I'm glad you are inclined to wed,
Twill keep you from your neighbor's bed;
It's time that your wild oats were sown,
And have wife to call your own.
did not intend to write in rhyme,
But thought would indulge this time,
To ask who is to be the bride
In whom you take such manly pride.
And when you write you'll please to tell
Who is this charming lovely belle;
Is she handsome, straight and tall
For we are anxious to know all.
Don't let false pride or modest shame
Induce to withhold from us her name.
You will pardon if we intrude,
We've no intention to be rude.
And when we know your better half
We shall feel good, twill make us laugh
To know our friend, whom we esteem,
Is harnessed in double team.
And let us know the wedding day,
That we may drink your health and say
Good luck to John and Madame,
And lots of children born to them.
Most happy sight twill be to see
Your little children on your knee;
You need not care what people say,
Whether your hair is black or gray.

OUR FoREIGN PoPULATIoN.- DeBow,
after great labor, fixes the number Of FORE
igners and their descendants at II l12, 662,
ard of white Americans, descended from
residents in the country in 1870, at 22,323,-
3S3. The population tables of the ninth
census partially confirm the correctness Of
these results. Table gives 10, S92, ,0l5 as
the number of inhabitants having one or both
parents Of foreign birth, while the number of
foreign born is but 5,557 $40. Mr. De
Bows number is perhaps million too small.
Twenty years ago, by the census of 1850.
the whole foreign born population numbered
but 1924 ,602, but the increase has been
very large since 1850.

MATHEMATICAL ABsURDITY.-An Eastern
paper has had 1900 answers to its 81 900
prize puzzle, requiring to know how long it
will take locomotive to run ope hundred
miles, provided it goes fifty miles the first
hour, twenty-five the next, twelve and half
the next, and so on. Of course the offer
was entirely safe, as the problem involves
an infinite progression, forever leaving re-
mander to be divided; or, as one Of the
mathematicians puts it, five have the start
ling proposition that a body may move to-
ward stationary point, always keeping in
motion, yet never reach it." Yet most Of
the replies purported to give the exact time
in which the locomotive would reach the end
Of its journey.

RAILROAD SIGNALS TRANsLATED.-The fol-
lowing particulars of railroad signals will be
interesting: One whistle of the locomotive
means "down brakes;" two whistles, "off
brakes;" three whistles, "hack upi" con-
tinued whistles, "danger;" a continued sue
cession of short whistles is the cattle alarm.
The conductors signal is given by sweeping
parting Of the hands on level with the eyes,
means "go ahead" A downward motion of
the hapd. "stop." A beckoning motion, "to
back" A lantern raised and lowered verti-
cally signals starting; swung at right angles
or across the track, "to stopi" swung in
circle, "to back" A red flag waved on the
track is signal of danger; hoisted at a sta
ton it is signal for stopping; stuck up by
the roadside, is signal Of danger on the
track ahead; carried unfurled on an engine,
is a signal that another engine or train is on
its way.

grandfather say the same thing"

A Frontier Character.
The Portland (Oregon) Bulletin says:

The Portland (Oregon) Bulletin says:
Joseph Thomas, or as our readers have
learned to know the man, "Wraslin Joe, ar
rived in Portland on the Southern train to-
day for the purpose of taking the steamer ON
Saturday en- route to st. Louis, Mo-, where
he proposes to end his days. During the
past eighteen months this old mana living
link connecting the events of the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries-has furnished the
newspapers of this city with many para
graphs. Born on the frontier when the now
magnificent State of Illinois was wilderness
in the possession of the red men, and its
bOundless prairies the feeding fields of millions
of butfaloes, he has lived to the age of ninety
three years, leading the lite of trapper,
boatman, and hunter, spending the days of
his youth fiat boating on the Mississippi Rv-.
er, his vigorous manhood in the forests OF
Arkansas and Southwestern Missouri, lum-
bering, trapping, hunting, and fighting the
Indians, and his old age as beggar in the
streets of cities that have grown up on the
spot where, more than half century ago, he
shot deer, and ''wrestled' with his COM
panions.
After years of want and beggery he was
found and recognized as the lawful heir of a
magnificent estate, gained and left by his
wife and child here on the banks of the Will
iamette River, and now portion of Portland.
In his efforts to recover that which belonged
to him he run the legal gauntlet of the law
yers Of this city and State, and underwent
one of the most tedious cross-examinations
known in the history of the law. The result
OF the lawsuit is known to every reader of the
Bulletin, and now "Wraslin Joe," when
nearly one hundred years of age, starts upon
long journey of nearly three thousand miles,
for the purpose of spending his last days
among those who were his friends when he

Singular Case Of Suspended Animation.

We obtained yesterday, says the st. Louis
Times of the 21st, from a reliable source, the
following facts respecting very remarkable
and recent occurrence in Florris ant:
One evening about two and one-half
months since, a strong and healthy young
man named William Mattingby returned to
his home from days work, complaining of
not feeling well. Before morning he became
seriously ill, and when medical help was call
ed in the disease was pronounced spotted fe-
yer, or cerebro-spinal meningitis. Within
torty-eight hours after the first severe attack
the patient relapsed into a comatose state,
and was thought by his friends to be dead.
The barber was summoned from the village
to shave the corpse and to assist in properly
preparing it for burial. Upon commencing
his work he was astonished to find the flesh
soft and elastic. He called the attention of
Others to this unusual circumstance, and it
was determined to make a closer examine
ton. As the result of their experiments
they came to the conclusion that their friend
was still alive. Restoratives were procured
and speedily administered. Although con-
seriousness never returned yet the man was
kept alive for sixty-tNo days, stimulants and
nourishment having been introduced into his
system by artificial means. 1t is believed
that all of these statements can be fully sub
stantiated
