INSTRUCTIVE AND AMUSING What is more
amusing than to watch the maneuvers of fond
parent instructing its olive branch in the first
little chores of usefulness. Our attention was
recently attracted to an incident of this kind in
hearing young mother appealing in tender
tones to her four year old bud OF ambition, to
bring in some wood. The bud needed not her
kind entreaties at which they grew into de-
mand, rather severe and threatening in tone,
something after the following: II have told you
to bring in some wood and now you have to do
it. l must teacl you to be of some help to me- "
And off she starts for stick and, with his fists
in his eys, off started cherub for the wood. AS
he bhndly approached the wood-pile, which,
unfortunately, on the outside of the fence,
he struck his dear little feet against rolling
stick, and down he fell in a very unlucky spot.
Cries, dust, etc. arose in such volumes that the
little innocent wis almost smothered Mamma
came rushing to the scene, and on comprehend
ing the situation seemed overcome, and lacking
words to do justice to the case, she finally gave
" mt to her feelings by a few chucks of mingled
sorrow and disgust. Carefully selecting place
10 take nold, she picked her darling up, re-
newed her chucks with double force and finally
broke out: Couldn't you find any place else to
fall? Just like a child!' Words being una
vailing, she set herself ut work with sticks,
rags, or whatever was conveniently available,
to get the trembling monument OF pity in con-
dition to take in and change his clothes. She
had to carry her own wood in at last. Thus
we can see the trouble and expense of training
children to usefulness. In this one little un-
successful lesson there was at least an hour OF
precious time wasted, say nothing about the
trouble, vexatioh, anger, pity, tears cries, dis
gust, and washing Of the garments, which we
feel sure, aside from taking them off, was the
worst job of all

The LEcTURE.-The lecture delivered last
Thursday evening by Prof. 0. S. Fowler, of N.
Y, on the subject of Phrenology, was one Of
the most instructive discourses we have listened
to in long time. The lecturer set forth more
practical facts and disclosed more useful infor-
nation in his short discourse than in many in
stances can be acquired by perusing whole
volume of some authors. The whole science of
Phrenology is based on natural laws, which, as
elucidated by this profound scholar and most
able advocate of his subject, were made as plain
and simple as A. B. G. The most abstruse
questions in Hygiene, Physiology, or even Met
aphysics, as they presented themselves in the
discussion of the subject, were handled with
perfect ease, and made as clear to the most OBJ
tuse minds as the simplest subject of every day
life. Last evening" in discussing the most i'm
portant subject of Glove and marriage" the
Prof. showed that he was master Of his subject.
and handled it with great satisfaction and ben
eft to his audience. 1t should be a pride to
our town that it is honored with a course OF
lectures from such a talented man, and every
one should avail themselves Of the opportunity
to hear him '"'

SAD Academia young man named James
Baird, who was employed as a brakeman by the
Central Pacific Railroad Company fell from
the top of a freight car while the train was
under full speed, between Newcastle and Au-
burn, last Thursday morning, about 2 o'clock,
and received most shocking injuries. His
antern had gone out accidentally, and he started
to the other end of the train to re-light it. AS
he approached another brakeman who held a
lantern in his hand, he was somewhat blinded
by the light, and accidentally stepped off between
the cars. The train was stopped as soon as
possible and the conductor and others went back
after him. They carried him into the caboose car,
and examined his I'M juries, when it was found
that his right arm, besides being broken, was
very badly bruised, which occurred, probably,
from falling on the coupling; and the left arm
mashed to q mummy from the palm of the
hand nearly to the shoulder joint, from being
run over by the wheels of the cars. They did
what could be done to prevent him from bleed
ing to death, AS they neared town, Senator j,
H. Neff who was on the train, jumped off; run
down in town, and with doctor, arrived at the
station nearly as soon as the train. The in
ured man was left here in the care of DIR.
Todd, who, early the same day, took him to the
Railroad Hospital in Sacramento, where he will
receive all necessary treatment.

RED RIDING HOOD.
borrowed.

Cool and dark the shadows glimmered
In the gloomy grim old wood,
Where, with careless, lingering footsteps,
Wandered fair Red Riding Hood.
Dark the shadows grew, and DINNER
While the gray wolf lay by her side,
Promised-low and treacherous pleading
That no harm should her betide.
Beat her pulses swift and strangely;
Fluttered fast her trusting hearti
Yes, she told him all her errand
Ere at last they turned to part.
Well, we know the tragic ending
OF the simple, sad old talei
How, for once in fairy stories,
Evil projects did prevail.
For all wolves are not dead and buried,
Nor all maidens wiser grown.
Many hearts still futter strangely,
At specious, pleading tone.
Therefore, linger not to listen
When your path by wolves is crossed;
Be you deaf unto the pleading
She who hesitates is lost

How IS IT?-Our Office has been crowded re-
Gently with job work. If the argus would do
work for the county for less than we can, we
should think they would do as well by indi-
uduas. But they don't seem to act on that
principle. They would have taken the county
work for less than cost rather than let us have
it and rely on making up the loss by extorting
unreasonable pr.ces from outside customers.

WHAT WE NEED We have thrifty town, a
good community, good schools and many other
advantages, all of which are duly appreciated;
but there some things which we have not,
that we should have. One of the most mpor-
tant of which is literary society OF some
kind, where the young men, and men who are
not young, of our town can spend their evening s
pleasantly and to advantage. Boys who are
kept busily employed all day, naturally seek rec
reation in the evening, and if they do not find
this recreation in some passtime that is bene-
fetal, they will find it otherwise. If readin G
rooms were opened where young men could
spend their evenings, in the pleasant acquisition
of useful information, and where practical ques-
tons could be discussed, it would be the means
ofelevelopinga great deal of latent talent, which
now lies dormant. There are many prominent
and influential men in our town who would heart.
lily assist in the establishment of any character OF
a society which had for its object the social,
mental and moral improvement of its mem
bars. We only want some one to start.
