A few evenings, since a fellow rushed
into Tinker 4 Shepherd saloon in ter

hat on the counter, he cried to Dan, the
bareeper:
"Therell be the biggest row here in
II minute that you ever saw Give me
drink, quick r
Dan sat out the bottle, and while the
fellow helped himself, began to look to
his six shooter, and got his club ready.
Leaving his hat on the counter, the
fellow ran to the door, looked out, then
rushed back to the bar and said
/" Yes in less than half minute

me another drink, quick r.
And, Selling the bottle, he proceeded
to help himself. He then took up his
hat, and was coolly marching off, when
Dan called ont

helion point nearest to the SUM ON the
Both ult, and that it is now RAPIDLY
receding from earth and sun. Mr..
Henry Parkurst, who is diligent and
accomplished astronomer, writes as
follows From my own observation
Of June II and Il, / have computed its
orbit anew, and have the following
conclusions 1t will pass its perihelion
about July 8, at distance from the
sun of about 100000 miles. On
August 3, when, according to the second
orbit, it was to be the brightest, the
moon will fortunately be ont of the
way; but unfortunately, the sun will be
in the way, 40 that the comet cannot
be seen in this hemisphere, and instead
of being near Denebola, it will be in
Argo Nayis. But, fortunately again,
il reaches its maximum brightness
a fortnight earlier, On July Is il will
be little above Castor and Pollux,
settling soon after sunset, and with
the new moon above it towards the
South 1t will then be about nine
times as bright as at present, comput-
ing its brightness from the position of
the nucleus but the tail will have swept
aroundso near us that it will undoubted-
" far exceed that. The comet is now
easily visible in the moonlight, with a
small opera-glass, and after the moon
sets, with the naked eye. Immediately
after the full moon it will be easily
visible to the naked eye in the north
west, below the Dipper; and the time
Of its maximum brightness will be
about July l6, depending chiefly upon
the length Of the tail Mt the time it
sweeps by us across the ecliptic. In any
event, within very few days after
that, the comet and its tail will both
have passed below the horizon.
Spectrum analysis has already been
applied to the comet, and the lines of
carbon detected. This agrees with
spectroscopic observations of other
comets. From these it was inferred
that comets, Cat least their tails) are
composed of some form of carbon ut
tenuated in an inconceiyable degree,
SO much SO that one professor of astron-
omy declared that in his opinion the
whole substance of the tail of comet
80, 900, 900 of miles in length could he
compressed into about ten pounds OF
carbon, such as we know it, in the form
of charcoal and coke.
The instructions for finding the
comet are as follows: At about nine
or ten o'clock the Dipper is seen with
the handle in the direction from the
horizon. The two lowest stars in the
bowl of the Dipper (furthest from the
handle) are called the pointers, because
they point to the Pole star the one
nearer the Pole star being called the
Dubhe. The comet forms nearly an
equilateral triangle with the Dubhe
and the Pole star, being situated below
them The tail is above the nucleus
and inclined toward the Pole star.

How to Succeed.

The young man who thinks he can
carry his boyish pranks into the serious
business of life is not a man, and de-
frauds himself and his employer.
"After work, play" That should
before pleasure is the motto of the
prudent man whose guide is experience,
and it is sufficient for the novitiate in
active life.
But it is despicable to see the young
man just starting in life so welded to
his former enjoyments as to place them
above present duties. Yet this is often
the case. The young man, who, to steer
his own bark, launches forth on the sea
of life, too often looks back on the
pleasures he leaves behind, and, forget
full of present duties, steers back to
past enjoyments.
There is no royal road to success any
more than t. knowledge. He who
would succeed must work and after all
there is more real enjoyment in work,
which has a worthy object, than in play
or pleasure, intended to kill time. We
remarked few days ago to business
man whose present means are amply
sufficient, but who worked really harder
than any of hir numerous employees,
that he fought 10 take it easy" Said
he, 81 am never so happy as when L
have more than [ can do. / may wear
out in working, out dread to rust out
in idling." he was right. His work
was part of himself, part of his life,
and it was always faithfully done. To
apprentices especially this earnestness
and interest in their work is necessary
if success is ever to be obtained.

Entitled the :. Beautiful Snow
And the boy who acted as carrier
Now sleeps N the valley below:
Twas caused by the editors anger
Upon being presented. you know,
With poem of fOrty-two verses

He was kicked from the sanctum irstanter.
Then down two or three flights of stairs,
And the pavement impeding his progress
Put an end to his worldly affairs
The spot where his bones lie reposing
Is marked by plain-looking stone,
Which advises all Juvenile poets
To let snow and its beauty alone,
Or il may be the death ~. mother,
Too horrid for pen to relate,
And occasion some poor aged parents
To bemoan their sons awful fate.
SO, whenever I'm asked for a poem,
think of that boys sad demise,
And never put " Beautiful Snow in
When it's possible to do otherwise.
But how can a person avoid it?
When ones been accustomed, you know,
To read every day in the papers

The name of the author is doubted
Some say il written by Poe,
While others say that it wasn't;
So hov's poor fellow to know?
Then again the credit is given
To one who had fallen from grace.
Who once was as pure as the snowflake,
And was sought for the charms of her face.
Who died in a charity hospital
From the effects of her terrible woe,
And tits said that they found on her person
The poem on the g Beautiful Snow
But rumor more recently has it
Twas written by one of the IS Reds
Who was known as Chief of the Modocs
And King of the Lava Beds.
Now, who ever the author may be,
think it is time to come out
And enlighten an anxious public
By telling what he's about
The cause of his quiet seclusion,
And the whereabouts of his home:
And whether he's married or single,
Or lives. like hermit. alone.
Whether he's man born of a woman.
Inhabiting this world below,
Or whether he's only a spirit
In the form Of the "a Beautiful Snow
If being. he ought to be knighted,
And his head with thorns should be crown'd,
Made King of the Cannibal Islands,
Or some country that's not yet found;
And when he tires of his glory,
And votes it decidedly stale,
He should be given in charge of the Kuklux,
And escorted around on a rail;
And then, on some cold winters evening
When the snow has covered the ground,
In a coat Of coal-tar and feathers.
They should lower him gently down
To sleep of peace and quiet,
Away from this world of show
With naught but the heavens above him.
