Hard Times.

There is no use in feeling glum about it.
Hard times have come again, and we all
know who's to blame.
That is to say, we know it isn't our fault.
Somebody else's folly caused it, and that's
why it seems so hard to bear.
Therefore about this time, brother, good
book for you to read would be Buttons Anat-
omy of Melancholy.
1t is more cheerful than seeing Clara Morris
in alike, or witnessing the average Repub-
LEANS attempt to look happy.

when he thrust his hand into the fire, was cut
wardly jolly enough to dance a cancen, and
Mr. Ostrander heaved sigh of relief when he
was elected to stay at home.
History is full of such examples for your in
formation and comfort.
IT you could only emulate the stubbornness
of the mule in your resolution TO be cheerful.
as you do sometimes in the little matter your
temper, the hinges of daily life wouldn't creak
halt as much as they do.
And you, too, sister, victim of shattered
hopes and fruitless idolatry of fashion, remem-
Der that the face is the screen upon which the
soul is reflected, and if you wear it as long as
a horses, the effect is damaging to all con-
| cerned.
| A pretty woman looks prettier when she
pouss at trif IS, but woman who suiks in
misfortune is not half as interesting as a lively
clam.
Nature intended you as tonic for man, and
you generally fulfill your mission, but when

The truth of the position that conscience
makes towards of us all finds illustration in
the hiding of DIR. Vanderlinden Dutoy, the
younger, whilom OF the town of Bois-le-duc.
In his giddy youth Mr.. Vanderlinden, no
doubt, like SO many other young gentlemen,
differing with his parents as to the adequacy
of his allowance, helped himself to very
handsome amount of his fathers money and
left for parts unknown. Instead of cutting
this prodigal off with franc, the father, who
died enormously rich, left him great fortune,
but every effort to discover his whereabouts
for long time failed. Lately, however, his
cousin and companion felt sure that they
recognized him in a IAN they met in cafe at
Brussels, but the man denied the iden ity, and
while they were debating what they had better
do, he took up his hat and vanished. The
Brussels police are now looking for the heir.
but it may be doubted whether anything short
of sight OF the will will convince him that
he is wanted" for anything to his advantage.
In July last the construction of a road over
the Sierra Madre in Colorado into Middle
Park was begun, and on Nov. 10 six-horse
coach made the ascent for the first time. The
road run from Empire through Berthout Pass,

with Mt. Russell towering 5000 feet higher
on one side and Mt. Flora 1000 feet on the
other. From this point the road descends the
Pacific slope eleven miles TO the edge of the
timber, where, crossing Mosques Fork, it en-
tiers a dense grove of young pines on level
ground extending mile and half to the head
OF Middle Park, which is an elevated valley
$500 feet above the sea, entirely surrounded
by the lofty chains Of the Rocky Mountains,
and Astounding in magnificent scenery. This
is one Of the most famous of the natural parks
in California A regular line of stages from
Georgetown to the park will be placed upon
| this road next summer.
From statement lately published, it appears
; that there are about 1000 paper manufacturers
, in the world, employing $4,000 men and $780,,
600 women, besides 1O0 900 engaged in the
rag trade. The number Of pounds Of paper
produced annually is no less than 1900 mil
lions, one half this quantity being used in
printing! sixth for writing, and the reminder
for packing and other purposes The United
States, with 5000 machines, produces an aver
age OF seventeen pounds of paper to each in
dividual. An Englishman, however, is shown
to consume only eleven and halt pounds
annually, on an average; German eight
pounds; a Frenchman, seven; and Italian,
three and one-half; Spaniard, one and or e.
half Russian, one.
The California law provides that accused
parties may be present at the selection of a
grand jury, and may challenge persons who
are drawn, for cause. The San Francisco
Bulletin says that this provision has given rise
to aboard of granu jury brokers' in that
city, who will undertake to shape any grand
jury to suit the views OF their employers.
A contemporary says that the city of Con-
cord, n. H., has just settled the last of five
suits for the destruction of u Democratic news
paper Office by a mob in 1861, the city paying
$4,000 damages in the last case. The mob of
voters at the polls ON the Sd of November
destroyed a good many Radical newspaper
Offices and the owners will get no damages
either.
Longfellow is held to be worth more than
$4,000. In mentioning so large sum the
reader will, of course, understand that no
allusion is meant to the literary person of
that name, but to the famous race horse of
kentucky, for which the aforementioned
price was offered and refused the other day
