A CHINESE SONG.

He saw in sight Of his house,
At dusk, as stories tell,
4 woman picking mulberrics,
And he liked her looks right we'll.
He struggled out Of his chair,
And began to beckon and call;
But she went on picking mulberries,
Nor looked at him at all.
IF Famine should follow you.
He would find the harvest in;
You think yourself and your muiberrles
Too good for Mandarin!
/ hare yellow gold in my sleeve"
But she answered, sharp aud bold
BE off! Let me pick my mulbcrries,
lam bought with no mans gold"
She scratched his face with her nails,
Till lie turned and fed toI life;
For the lady picking muiberries
Was his true and virtuous wife!

THE LATEST DISCOVERY IN
FOOD---TFsE SAVORY PEA
NUT IN THE FORM OF
BREAD.

African peanut four is the latest
discovered article Of food. So we
are kindly Informed by the press,
but the information is shockingly
incomplete and rouses in US a
desire to know more about the
matter. Who discovered it, or
why it was discovered, or whether
the product is worth the discovery,
now that it is discovered, are
points upon which the world needs
enlightenment. Did some phil
osopher, ruminating the savory
but unsatisfactory esculent, con-
cludc that a more thorough grind
ing than that given by dental
formation would develop prop .
critics as yet unknown by the pea
interchangeable? VAST thought
that our sources of food-supply
are SO scanty that the accession OF
i new material was necessary?
Or, lastly: did he imagine that his
name, connected with peanut four
would be handed down to q grateful
posterity, and that future genera
ton would bless the inventor Of
peanut bread or lapjacks?
1t might be suggested that the
world has managed to drag out a
tolcrable existence for several
centuries. content with peanuts

such suggestions argue a mind
narrow and unaccustomed 10 gropc

cant, but in reality vital, or victual
Importance. To paraphrase an
ancient axiom, he is benefactor
to his species who causes two pea
nuts to grow where but one grew
before, and surely he who teaches
us torespect the hitherto unknown
capacities ofthe democratic ground
nut has really added something to
life and itsjoys. But why African?
We would ask. Are the "gouber
peas" OF Virginia and North Car
olina to be despised? Are our
native products to be ignored IN
favor Of this foreign article, whose
only claim to superiority is the dis
tance from which tits brought? Are
the banks Of the Congo to hout it
over the shores Of the Pcdee ?

THE FRONTIER WEDDING,
BY THE MINISTER'S WIFE.

One day in early winter, my
husband received summons to
Burke's settlement to unite cou-
pie in the bonds Of wedlock. 1t
was especially requested that his
wife should accompany him, as we
should be expected to remain all
night and partake Of the festivi-
ties.
1t was twenty miles to the set
tlement, and we reached the log
house of Mr.. Burke, the father of
the expectant bride, about noon.
4 dozen tow-haired children were
ut the door waiting our arrival.
They teleg-aphed the news in
stantly.
"Marm marin! here's the ell

Further remarks were cut short
by our entrance.
Mrs. Burke, in calico short gown,
blue petticoat and bare feet, came
forward, wiping her face on her
apron.

ANOTHER NEATEsEN CHI
NEE.
HOW HE GOES AFTER \ DIANA GAME
AND WINS ALL HIS BETS.

In Chinatown, Virginia City,
there is q Diaua game which is
liberally patronized by the Celes-
tials. a man who happens TO bet
on the card about to be turned
wins forty for one. There is a
Chinaman who bets at the game
who is looked upon with dread by
the owner Of it. Within the last
ten days he has won over $500,
and his luck or prescience, what
ever it be, seems never TO desert
him. A few nights ago the Chi
naman packed off over $500 which
he had won from the game.
The proprietor says the China
man comes in every evening, and
will stand aloof from all others
for the space Of five minutes or so;
when he will walk up to the table
and bet, say, on the nine Of dia-
monds, and on the square surround
ing that card, and also on the
three other mines. The deal goes
on and up comes the nine Of dla-
monds. On that card the winner
is paid forty for one; on the square
he gets two for one. and on each
of the other mines he receives ten
for one. This was the. first bet
made by the Chinaman on Tues
day evening. After receiving his
winnings he retired to one side
and communel with himself for
the space of five or six minutes,
when he again approached the ia
bic and bet his money on the eight
of hearts and in the square, and
on all the other eight spots.
The next card turned was the
identical eight Of hearts, making
him a winner as before. On his
money being counted ont, he re,
counts it. piece by piece, with the
utmost cooIncss, and again steps
to one side. After the usual lapse
of time he again approaches the
table, this time betting on the
deuce Of clubs, which wins: like
his other two bets. Retiring as
before, he appears to be absorbed
in mental calculation. Approach
inc the table for the fourth time,
he places his money on the six OF
spades, and on all the other skies
and on the square. Again he hits
upon the winning card, and re-
ccivcs his winnings with the same
stolid look of Indifference. By
this he is pretty we'll loaded down
with coin, certain percentage OF
silver being paid him, and he re,
tires for the night.
The Cbinaman has been betting
=, with this same run of luck, Oh
whatever it may be called, tor
about two weeks. He has not
won every bet he has made in the
meantime, but he has not lost S75
in all this time, while he has won.
as previously stated; over sl,ooo
The owner of the game is begin
ming to entertain q superstltlous
dread of this silent and methodl'
cal Chinaman, and has purchased
a new box and new cards to be
dealt. He says if the Chinaman
keeps on winning as be has start
ed in, he will break the bank. but
he will not debar him from play
ing anyway.
