III is said that another rich man wants
to be Senator from Nevada. About ten
years ago William Sharon was worth less
than nothing. He went to Virginia City
as agent for the Bank of California, is now
millionaire, and is willing to buy Stew

LEAVES AND LUNGs.-There is
everywhere an exchange going on be-
tween leaves and lungs lungs give
carbon to leaves, and keeping oxygen
themselves. But how is this in win
ter, when there are no leaves except
upon eyergreens? DO these leaves
take up all the carborn that is then
breathed out No; they are not
numerous enough to do this. Does
carbonic acid gas then increase in the
air, and oxygen lessen ? Not at all.
1t is as in summer when leaves are
alive and breathing. I will tell you
how this can be. Gases readily mix
with each other, especially when
shaken. Now every motion of air,
every gust of wind, shakes the gases
that compose the air, and scatters the
carbonic acid gas. This gas, there
fore, we may say, flies on the wings
of the wind, and breathed out in one
place may thus find its way to many
places, not merely miles out at the
North in the winter, but may thus &c
to the South to be breathed in by
leaves there, and the sunny southern
climes send oxygen for the lungs Of
those who dwell in the North.

"A man who can have his corns
mashed without grumbling is undoubt-
eddy possessed of a tolerably good
disposition. One man, being once at
a political meeting, said, in pleasant
manner, to big burly fellow who was
standing upon his toe, "My dear Sir,
are you not miller?" ''No, Sir; why
do you ask?', "Why, Sir, the fact is,
l thought you were a miller, and a
very honest one too, because you
have been grinding my corns this
half hour without taking toll"

A CHICAGO gentleman says that he
was once so unfortunate as to get
thoroughly fuddled. 1t was in Har-
rison's "hard cider campaign, and he
had been in attendance on one of the
most enthusiastic of the meetings, and
had wit enough at night to know that
he was in no condition TO meet his
wife. He walked about the yard for
an hour Or two, and finally crept in
and slipped quietly into the bed, turn
ing his back to his wife, that she might
not smell his breath. He was just
beginning to congratulate himself
that she would not suspect his condi-
ton, when she broke out: "You
needn't take so much pains, Joel. You
are drunk all through"

axe made most successful stroke, hit
ting the foot and cutting it nearly in

BIDDY'S PHILOSOPHY.

What would do if you was dead?
And when do you think of dying?
Id stand by your bed, and hold your head,
And cry, or pretind to be crying
There's many worser man nor YOU
If one knew where to find him
And mebbe many better, too
With money to leave behind him
But you, if was dying to day
Il saw you now when you kissed herr,
tell you, Pat, what you'd be at
You'd marry your widdy's sister
You'd make an illigant corpse, indade,
Sleeping so sound and Study;
If you could see yourself as you laid,
You'd want to come back to Biddy
You would be dressed in your Sunday best,
AS tidy as I could make you
With sprig of something on your breast
Aud the boys would come to wake you;
But you, if was dead in your stead
do you think l never missed her p
tell you, Pat, what you'd be at
You'd marry your widdy's sister.
The undertaken would drive the hearse
That has the big black feather:
If there was no money left in your purse,
Your friends would club together!
They'd look at your cold remains before
They followed you down to the ferry,
And the coaches standing at the door
Would go to the cemetery
But you, if I was once in the box
q wonder her lips don't blister),
l tell you, Pat, what you'd be at
You'd marry your widdys sister
When you was under the sod I'd sigh,
And--if could do without you,
Mebbe I've a strapping lad in my eye
Would come here and talk about you
A little courtin' would be divertin',
A kind voice whispering, "Biddy +"
And kiss on the sly-for what's the hurt il
A man consoling o wildly
But you, before was dead at all
(Now don't deny that you kissed herr,
tell you, Pat, you'd be at
You'd marry your widdy's sister!
