YANKEE TRICK.

A Keutuekian aud 4 Yankee were
once riding tbrouzh the woods, tho
former on IN inferior animal. The lat
ter wanted to make "swap," but he
did not SEQ how he was to do it. At
last he thought of . plan. His horse
had been taught to sit down like . dog
whenever he was touched with the
spurs. Seeing wild turkey the YAM
kee made his horse perform this trick,
and asserted that he was pointing
game, as was his custom. The Ken
tuckian rode in the direction indicated
by the horses nose, and up rose 4 tur-
key. This settled the matter; the
trade was Eade, and saddles and
horses were exchanged. After . time
they came to deep, rapid stream, over
which the black horse carried bis rider
With ease. But the Kentuckian, with
the Yankees old beast, found great
difficulty in getting over, and when he
reached the middle of the stream he
was afraid the horse would allow him.

ed to spur him up to mere vigorous
action. Down sat the old horse on his
launches. -. :...

THE DIAMOND HARVEST AT COLEs-
BERG KOPJE.

From careful calculations it is found
that four thousand diamonds and pieces
of diamonds ara. unearthed here -eyeYy
day. However, out of such a mass of
gems but few are "pure water brilliants."
A perfect white stone of any size Is in
deed treasure. They are rarely seen
without blemish, and the majority Of
finds consist Of Aswed, spotted, or dis
colored stones, angular chips, or small
fragments, which latter are nearly val
ueless. The immense quantity of these
chi ps and fawed stones thrown on the
market has necessarily caused tramen-
dous fall IN their values. Uslike 9th.
er commodities, diamonds are lnperish-
able. Once cut and set, they never
lose their lustre, never decay or wear
out, and are certainly the most lasting
Of mans possessions. Every one
wants new clothes periodically Che la
dies want them with each che nee in
the fashion,; nation requires new
coinage every few years ships and
houses begin to decay from the time
they are built but an oatit of dia-
monds is everlasting. Although it was
discouragiug to diggers to see this sud-
den depreclation, they generally stuck
to their claims. hoping it might be
their good fortune to find a charming
family Of big ooes s-every one hun.
dred catat-when they might bid good
by to claims and tents, flies and feas,
and emigrate to their chosen home,
there to enjoy fortune built upon a
sound diamonditerous basis. A few,
generally the first owners of the New
Rush claims, made large fortunes.-
They got their ground for nothing,
found one to twenty diamonds every
day, sold out when claims realized 45O0
to $4,000, and their diamonds brought
a fair price. One Smuts made e1l,0O
in month, then divided his claim in.
tu sixths, selling each sixth for &s00,
and departed wealthy man. A Cap
tain Behrman was wrecked on the
coast, lost his ship and in the end luck
lily came to the New Rush, from which
PLACE he departed 10 three months With
SIS 900 in hard cash.
A boer, by name Wemmer, turned
out in one day tbirty-one diamonds,
weig hing respectively thirty.three CAT
ats, eighteen, fifteen, nine, seven and
a half, and other smaller oses. He had
only returned to the fields a few days
before, sftor an absence of a month,
and upon his arrival was quietly pre-
seuted by his black servants, whom he
had left in charge, with upward Of 800
diamonds! =, He ii, now decidedly the

CLING TO YOUR FRIENDS.

There are many friends of Summer,
Who are kind while flowers bloOmi
But whtn Winter kills the blossoms,
They depart with the perfume.
On the broad highway of action.
Friends of worth are far and few;
So when one has proved his friendship,
Cling to him who clings to you.
Do not harshlv judge your neighbor,
DO not deem his life untrue,
Though he makes no great pfetensiOns,
Deeds are great though words are few;
Those who stand amid the tempest,
Firm as when the skies are blue,
Will be friends while life endurcth-
Cling to those who cling to you.
When you sec worthy brother
Bufteting the stormy main,
Lend a helping hand fraternal,
Till he reach tho shore again.
Don't desert the old and tried friend,
When misfortune comes in view,
For he then needs friendships comforts
Cling to those who cling to you.

Mn. GnEELEy's ADVICE TO YoUNa
JOURNALIST. Sir: Yours of the
Goth ultimo only reached me at this
place yesterday. I am lecturing in the
West, and shall not return to New York
for several days yet.
My own course uniformly has been
to stick to anything could find to do,
md never leave place so long us any
work remnined to be done there. l
think that you will find that the wise
course. It may seem that larger wages
may be earned elsewhere, but expenses
are usually proportionate to earning,
md removal exposes one to the
the loss of oil the position or reputa-
ton he may have gained. Character is
the basis of business and prosperity,
and character is more easily developed
in the country than in the city. Men
seldom bound to fortune and position;
they must grow. After few years you
will be wanted to conduct journal in
your own region; look careful into the
Inducements, and be not to hasty in
accepting, for your time will come.
Be careful of debt; he who owes moth
ing, and has chance to earn his daily
bread is happier than he is aware Of.
Make friends and gain knowledge; a
few years will render them useful to
you. With hearty good wishes, I re-
main yours, HORACE GREELEY.
