A Brief Temperance Lecture

There is one man in South Leaven-
worth who will forever have ocea-
sion to remember the terrible cOnse-
quences of getting dead drunk in
zero weather. HIS name is Joseph
Barnes, he lives just west of Broad
way, and the particulars of his sad
case are briefly as follows:
Three nights ago he attended a
party given at his neighbours house,
accompanied by his wife. On their
way home the woman discoved that
she had dropped her apron, and re-
quested her husband to stay where
he was till she went back and recov
cred the lost article. 1t was very
cold, indeed, and when she returned
she did not find her husband where
she had left him. Supposing he had
gone to neighbOring saloon to Get
drink, she went home without him,
and never gave his sudden disappear
ance a second thought till the next
morning. As he had not then put in
an appearance she thought possibly
something might he wrong and start
ed out in search of him. His where
abOuts, could not, however, be ascer-
tanned. For two days and nights the
search was continued, and no trace
of the missing one was found till he
crawled into his own home, Wednes-
day noon, in most wretched plight,
and with hands and feet so badly fro
zen that they will have to be ampu
tated.
Barnes says that after leaving his
wife he went to a saloon and took two
or three big drinks to keep out the
cold. After going out in the air again
he did not know anything till he
awOke from his stupor, nearly forty
eight hours afterward, and found
himselfin gully in vacant lot of
west Broadway, completely stitfened
up, and it was with the greatest agony
that he was enabled to crawl on his
hands and knees to the shanty where
he lived. The loss of hands and
feet will be terrible affiictiOn to the
suffering man.-LedrenwOrth Com

From the Evening Post.l
Farewell.

dare not look upon thy face,
For must soon away;
Too much already its soft grace
Hath won me to delay
! few short hours, and | can gaze
On thy loved form no more;
A dream will seem the pleasant days
Passed on this lovely shore.
Thy tender heart, it is so pure
| wish it not for mine;
Too feverish and insecure
Would he this wOrld-worn shrine;
For thou dOst need such quiet home
AS might befit the dove,
Where green leaves droop and sof
winds blow,
And peace attends on love.
l love thee! but my heart hath cast
Its tenderness away;
The many mem'ries of the past
Leave little for to-day.
Thou art TO me thing apart
From passion, hope or fear;
Yet tits a pleasure to my heart
TO feel thou art so dear.
1t shows that have something left
OF what youth used TO be;
The spirit is not quite bereft
That dreams of me like thee.
And vet, | know another hour,
When | have left this isle,
There will remain but little power
In thy sweet vanish'd smile.
When other smiles that are as sweet,
And might have been as dear,
Shall make gay midnight moments flee
Unlike the midnights here;
When they shall ask for pledge or song
will not name thy name,
For other thoughts to them belong
That at thy charming came.
No more e'er shall look again
Upon thy peaceful brow;
Now back to Wonder glitt'ring main,
My bark the waves must plOw.
When mirth and revel. feast and fight
Spread DER life's troubled sea,
All, where will be the calm delight
That now entranceth me!
Thy blessed influence ever brought
The dreams of other years:
What childhood felt, what childhood
thought,
Its tenderness, its tears.
Farewell, the wind sets from the shore
The white foam lights the sea;
If Heaven one blessing hath in store,
That blessing rest oil thee!

lex, dwelling near the exchange, hare
bF. For the charge of one shilling
he showed his visitors half cherry
stone, from which he took quadrIlle
table, twelve chairs with skeleton
backs, a looking-glass, two dozen
plates, six dishes, and lady and gen
tleman sitting down at table, and
waited upon by footman.
Boverick also produced a camel
that could pass through the eye of a
middle-sized needle, and pair of
steel scissors, warranted to cut a large
horse hair, of such dimensions that
six pair might be wrapped in the
wing of a fly.
Then came q chain of 200 links,
with paddock and key, ATTACHED to
lea, the lot weighing one-third of a
gmin; a four-wheeled ivory chariot,
which, with its driver and the flea
sewing for steed, weighed barely a
grain; and a crane-necked carriage,
With wheels turning properly upon
their axles, carrying four passengers,
TIVE footmen, a coachman sitting on
his box with dog between his legs,
diving six ivory horses, one of the
leaders hearing a position, and the
whole affair so light single flea could
set it moving.
In III the nobility, gentry, and
curious of all classes were invited to
THE Great Room in Exeter Change to
behold the result of twenty years
close application, piece of mechan-
ism some four and half feet square,
representing a gentleman's country
seat, with buildings, temples, alcoves,
grpttoes, summer houses, ponds, and
cascades, all complete, enlivened
above by 100 moving figures, en-
plpyed in brick-laying, carpentering,
plumbing, mason's work, joining, and
turning. Deer ran around the park,
ladies promenaded the garden, round
which six horse chariot, pair horse
phaeton, and a one horse chaise duly
progressed with attitudes and mo-
tions as natural, if we may take the
exhibitors word, that, although the
figures were none of them more than
two inches high, they appeared like
life itself.

A Few Hints for 1875.

1t is better to live in little, mean,
two story frame house than in Jail; 1T
is good thing, when you are talk
inc of another mans defalcatiOn, to
make sure that you could have han
died as much money, with like oppOr-
tunity for dishonesty, and not fallen
before temptation. 1t doesn't pay to
worry over what will happen to your
wife if you were taken away; she
NAV get better husband Ii you
are wondering what makes your for
mer schoOImate's hair so gray, or
what makes such Il one so wrlnkled'
or why such another one is growing
so stout, just take look in the glass.
Do not imagine, because you have re-
solved to practice charity and to
speak well of everybody, that every
body has made the same resolution
regarding you. If you are heart
sick with regret that you were not
more tender and thoughtful towaru
the dear ones you have lost, just Try
to avoid further repentance IN tne
future by being good to those sun
left to you. Don'tput off enjoyment,
If Won are not ready to enjoy thlngs
as they come, when yOn are reauy
tbev won't come. Planning 10 ENJOY
G.;onds and fortune in the future Is
most insecure investment; the chances fl?anss
are aro wofnIly few that you, your friends
arc "le t6e fortune will all come togeth-
a. an, IN the future. If you have any
GOOD deeds to do, or happiness to en-
iov to-day is the time. 1t is only
when we are arguing ourselves into
the committing of some act where
we believe the end will not JUSTIFY
the means, that it pays to wait TILL
to- morrow. In such a case one can
not wait too many tO-mOrroWs.

THE FRYER PROCESS.

During last Spring and Summer good
deal of newspaper comment has been
ELECTED by the experiments Of q gentle
man named Fryer In Grass Valley. Gal.
Some professed to look upon ths matter
as something akin 10 the Kelley motor,
others contended the process was but
modification Of former unsuccessful at
tempts to reduce rebellious ore OF low
grade but all agreed in saying that should
the new manner OF reducing ore prove
success it would reyolutionize an i'm
portant branch OF mining industry and
add forty per cent. to Nevada's silver
yield 'Twould now seem as though his
efforts were successful and that the early
part of '76 will see the commencement
Of an extraordinary increase in the bull
lion yield. It's a matter of universal
comment and general regret that through
out this section Of the State there are
almost inexhaustible deposits OF ore that
cannot be profitably worked by means of
smelling furnace. Our contemporaries
inform us that tho process will dispense
with pans, stamps and great motive
power, will work tho ore to nm assay OF
ninety-fve per cent. and at an average
cost of but three dollars per ton. Those
conversant with the working OF low
grade ore will no doubt regard those
figures with some incredulity, and they
yet remain to be proved. II II is all

tainly be great thing for the entir'

costs from thirty-6ve to fifty per cent. o

means. We sincerely hope the new pro
cess will be success.

THE TEXAS PACIFIC RAILROAD.

While fully endorsing the necessity OF
this rival thoroughfare the Virginia En-
terprise is of the opinion that Tom
Scott will hardly succeed, for arrayed
against him are some of the most tremend-
GUS money combinations of the country"
This is true yet Scott has most powerful
contra influence to bring up on his side.
In the early Summer Of 1861, when the
stars were dropping one by one from the
national galaxy and ruthless hands were
tearing at our national existence, q
grand coup de main was contemplated by
the Southern authorities involving,if sue
cessful, the possession of Washington,
Baltimore, Southern Pennsylvania, Della
ware. Philadelphia, and all the adjacent
country. The Pennsylvania Railroad
was appealed to from Washington, and
though Edgar Thomson wavered in ir-
resolute delay Tom Scott placed the
road at the Governments disposal and
rushed troops over the line to check the
threatened attack. Throughout the
dreary years of internecine bloodshed
that followed, that road contributed
more to the success OF the Federal arms
than any other corporate body and often
by special and secret measures directed
by Scott. checkmated Confederate
schemes. "The Pennsylvania Railroad
during the Civil War; is work as ye
unwritten. II 1t ever does see th
light and justice is done by tn

The following. clipped from an ex-
change, is as true as gospel:
What you can effect depends upon
what you are. You put yourself into all
that you do. If that self be small, and
lean and mean, your entire life-work is
paltry; your work has no force, your in
huence has no weight. II that self be
true and high. pure and kind, vigorous
and forcible, your strokes are blows,
your notes staccatos, your work massive,
your influence cogent; you can do what
you will. Whatever your position you
are power, you are felt as kingly
spirit; you are as one having authority.
Too many think of character chiefly in
its relation to the life beyond the grave.
l certainly would not have less thought
of it with reference to that unknown fu-
ture. on the margin of which some of us
undoubtedly are at this moment standing.
But l do wish that more consideration
we're bestowed upon its earthly uses.
