AMERICANS AS READERS.

Older and richer nations may sneer
at the poverty of the American litera-
ture, at the poverty in her world of
letters, of men of eminent genius and
learning, who tower head and shout
ders above their contemporaries but
that the Americans are reading pee
pie, even their most spiteful decrlers
must acknowledge. Witness in attes-
taton of this fact the following state
ments Within period of thirty
days, there were sent through the post
office, 2S,207 books from New York,
1855 from Philadelphia, 1852 from
Boston, and 1895 from Chicago. In
four cities, through the mail alone,
there were sent out to the people o.
0Sl books in the space of month
During the same period of time, 3l9,-
$50 transient newspapers were dis
patched from New York Postoihce,
239,O6 from Philadelphia, 1913, O37
from Boston. aud lac, 942 from Chic
ago. When we consider that the great
bulk of printed matter is transported
to all points by express or us common
freight, these figures testify eloquently
to the intelligence of the masses.

snCIETY's nENIENCE.

SOCIETY sENIENCE.
The poet Of the Courier Journal supplies
the following drop TO the flood Of the
Beecher rhymes:
Close the book, Bcechcr. guilty or innocent,
Prestige ispowerless, usefulness lost;
To the great verdict both virtue and sin as
sent.
You must be silent, whatever the cost.
\ hand on YOUR eloquent lips shall eternally
Stiile their utteraGce-rest like pail,
You that have taught the world grandly, su-
pernally.
stand but a type Of the Adamitc fall.
Close the book, Beecher! gravely and
mournfully
Gaze We upon you, beren OF your fame.
Gray hair like yours should ne'er be
viewed scoinlully,
Even though they cover u hypocrite's
shame.
Men might forgive you, Judging you hui
manly
But Christ's chosen children are beings
They must be GodlIke, they must be wo.
manly,
Strong and yet gentle, and holy Of heart.
The true course 10 be pursued in certain
emergencies is thus suggested by the poet Of
the New York Graphic
When sanity preachers stoop 20 folly,
And Ind, too late, their ems bctray,
What charm can soothe t1eir melancholy
What art can wash their guilt away;
The only art their guilt TO cover,
To save their being talked about,
Isnot TO hope twill all blow over
But simply TO ".tep down and out"

Retiring From Business,
BI BRET HARTE.

W hat the Colonel's business was no
body knew. nor did anybody care, par
ticularly. He purchased for cash only,
and he never grumbled at the price of
anything that he wanted who could ask
Curious people occasionally wonder
how, when it had been fully two years
since the Colonel, with every one else,
abandoned Duck Creek to the Chinese,
he managed to spend money freely and
to lose considerable at cards and horse
races. In fact, the keeper OF that one
of the two Challenge Hill saloons which
the Colonel did not patronize was once
heard to absent mindedly wonder
wether the Colonel had mt money mill
somewhere where he turned out double
eagles and 'slugs' (the coast name for
fifty dollar gold pieces)
When so important parsonage as
barkeeper INDUCED publicly in an idea,
the inhabitants Of Challenge Hill, like
good Californians everywhere, consider
ed themselves duty bound to grave con-
sideration, so Tor few days certain in
dustrious professional gentlemen, who
won money of the Colonel, carefully
weighed some Of the brightest pieces and
tested them with acids, and tasted
them and sawed them in two, and re.
tried them and melted them up and
had the Jumps assayed,
The result was a complete vindica-
ton of the Colonel, and loss Of con.
siderable custom TO the indiscreet bar
keeper.
The Colonel ives as good.natured u
man as had ever beeo known at Chal-
lengc Hill but being mortal, the Col
nelhad his occasional times Of despon-
dency ,one ofthem occurred after series
of races, in which he had staked his all
on his own bay mare Tipsie, and lost.
Looking reproachfully at his beloved
animal, he failed to heed the aching
void Of his pockets, and drinking deep
ly swearing eloquently, and glazing
defantly at all mankind, were equally
unproductive of coin.
The boys at the saloon sympathized
most feelingly with the Colonel they
were unceasing in their invitations to
drink, aud they even exhibited con-
siderable Christian forbesrance when
the Colonel savagely dissented with
every one who advanced any PROPOSE
ton, no matter how incontrovertible
But unappreciated sympathy grows
decidedly tiresome to the giver, and it
was with feeling Of relief that the boys
saw the Colonel stride out of the sa.
loon, mount Tipsic, and gallop furious
ly away.
Riding on horseback has always beer
considered an excellent sort Of exer-
else and fast riding is universally ad
mitted to be one of the most healthful
and delightful means of exhilaration in
the world.
But when man is SO absorbed il
his exercise that he will not stop t
speak to friend and when his exhil
aration is 30 complete that he turns hi
eyes from well meaning thumbs point
ing significantly into doorways through
! which man had often passed Will,
seeking bracing influences, it is bu
natural that people should expires
some wonder.
The Colonel was well known at Tod
dy Flat, Lone Hand, Blazers, Murder
, er's Bar and several other village
through which he passed and as no on
? had been seen to proceed him, bettin.
!, men were soon Offering odds that tn
Colonel was running away from some
y body,
