STORY OF MARYsvILLIAN.-A San
Francisco paper says They tell story
of a Marysville malI-for the sake of his rel
atives we withhold his name-wilo is inor-
dinately fond of buckwheat cskes and sau-
sage gravy. and who, whenever he came
across eithor Of those dishes at table,
never knows when lie has got enough.
Some time ago business called this gentle
man TO San Francisco, and he went to Sac
ramento in his way. When he entered ons
Of the hotels III the morning to get his
break fast, on the bill Of fare he spied his
favorite dish and straightway the obedient
waiter was seen travelling toward the kitch-
Ell for buckwheat cakes and sausage gravy.
The mans appetite was keen, and the
buckwheat and gravy seemed extra good.
And four times did that waiter carry the
empty plates from the table to return with
more bucllwheat and sausage, before the
man finally cried enough. NotwithstanG-
ing his breakfast, the gentleman from Ma
rysville managed to reach San Francisco
and transact his busi-ess, and was again
ON his way home. He returned via Sacra-
mento, and, it seems unnecessary to state,
went to the same hotel for his meal. Ee
sat down to the table and the same waiter
approached. He took one good look at
him, to assure himself that it was his fo--
mer customer, and then, without n wore,
walked back to the kitchen ard bawled:
''Buckwheat cakes and sausage gravy for
six that old hog from Marysville is back
here again"

GA PLEASANT DAY."-The Danbury
Meas says: Among the large number
gathered at the horse sale, Friday, was
Col. H., who is, as our Danbury readers
well know, very deaf. Alongside of him
stood young man, a stranger, engaged,
as was the Colonel, in watching the sale.
During a lull he turned to the Colonel and
politely observed ga pleasant day" The
Col. saw the movement of his lips, but of
course heard no sound, and not wishing to
lose what might be matter of vital inter
est, he said, ''What's that?'' ''It is a
pleasant day." repeated the young man,
suddenly realizing the dreadful insignifi-
canoe of the statement. 81 did not quite
hear you," explained the Colonel, leaning
forward with anxiety. The young man
turned very red, and looking as if he was
about to descend into the bowels of the
earth. 81 said it was pleasant day." he
again stammered, raising his voice and
shivering at the sound. The ColonePs
hand went up to his ear, Greatly sill" he
said in bland manner, 81 am afraid you
will have to speak little louder" The
young man grew redder than ever. How
gladly he would have turned and fled how
bitterly he regretted not keeping the infor-
nation to himself. But the Colonel stood
waiting and raising himself by his toes,
the young man shrilly screamed sit is
pleasant day. The Colonel heard this,
and promptly conceded, and the young
man retreated amid the encouraging smiles
of the populace.

So ont L shlipt,
On me toes 7 tipt
AS quiet as a mouse.
Then a low bOo-hOo!

Och! Inc jints gev way
On the ground l lay;
I'm fable liver since.

The woolen-dyer-
Twas jist the day before
Quite unawares;
Fell down the sthairs,
And died like many more.
And this, his ghost,
Wild stharin boast,
Now occupied me lot;
And l so sick,
Widout a sthick
To make the villain throt.
Thin I roared so lond

And, boys, upon me sowl,

But felt Telaved,

LOVE, DRINK AND DEBT.
BY FRANK j. OTTARsoN.

Son of mine! the world before you
!. Spreads thousand secret snares
Round the feet of every mortal
Who through life's long highway fares.
Three especial, let me warn you,
Are by every traveller met;
Three, to try your might and virtue
They are Love and Drink and Debt.
Love, my boy, there's no escaping,
'Tis the common fate of men;
Father had it-I have had it
But for Love you had not been.
Take your chances, but be cautious;
Know squab is not dove,
Be the upright man of honor;
All deceit doth murder love.
AS for Drink, avoid it wholly;
Like an adder it will sting;
Crush the earliest temptation
Handle not the dangerous thing.
See the wrecks of men around us,
Once as fair and pnre as you;
Heed the warning! Shun their pathway,
And the hell they're tottering through.
Yet, though love be pure and gentle,
And from drink you may be free,
With yearning heart I warn you
'Gainst the worst of all the three!
Many demon on his journey
Bunyan's Christian Pilgrim met;
They were lambs, even old ApOllYon,
To the awful demon, Debt.
With quaking heart and face abashed
The wretched debtor goes;
He starts at shadows, lest they be
The shades of men he owes.
Down silent streets he furtive steals,
The face Of men to shun;
He shivers at the pOstman's ring,
And fears the dreadful dun.
Beware of debt! Once in, you'll be
a slave forevermore;
If credit tempt you, thunder "No!'
And show it to the door.
Cold water and a crust of bread
May be the best you'll get;
Accept them like man, and swear
"I'U nerer ran IN debt !''

A MISSIONARY among she freedmen in
Tennessee, after relating to some little col
ored children tire story of Ananias and Sap
phira, asked them why God does not strike
everybody dead that tells a lie, when one of
the least in the room quickly answered,
"Becouse there wouldn't be anybody left.

LAWYERS MANUSCRIPTS. "A nice piece
of manuscript, says the Nashville Union,
was sent to this Office lately. 1t was pre-
the legal profession, and consequently It's
meaning was as clear as mud. There
were short marks here and long marks
there, while dots, inksplashes, erasures, and
things of that sort, were scattered about
with reckless profusion. The paper re-
sembled map of bleeding Kansas, plan
of our proposed new water works, a pen
and ink sketch of the burnt district of
Edgefeld, or indeed, anything of that sort.
Printers yearned for that manuscript the
moment they saw it, and the one who was
given the largest portion of it was locked
upon with envy by his fellows. Finally
one of them came to a couple of long words
that he could not really deeipher readily.
He went out and borrowed q telescope,
and looked again, but still failing to make
out the two words in question, he propped
his copy up at one end of the room, stood
upon his head at the other, and viewed it
in that position for awhile, but withou:
success. Then he carried the copy to
every man in the office, begging their as
sistance, but none were able to help the
unfortunate typo. Then he became des-
perate, pulled his hat down with a firm
grasp, ignored the undecipherable entirely,
and substituted therefor ''copy-books ten
cents each," remarking confidently to a
brother comp, ''Won't that chap swear
when he reads his proof?'' and he will, of
course but is there not something sug-
gestive in the sentence substituted? If
copy-books are only ten cents each, why
should not everylawyer in the city purchase
one Immediately, and at once set about
improving chirography?
