DIR. CHALMERS AND THE DENT

Joined the house Of Mr..
Nasmyth, an eminent dentist in
George street. AS the students
were in the habit of applauding
DR.. Chalmers and the other pro-
fessors during the delivery Of
their lectures, the noise made
in this way often startled and
disturbed the patients under
Mr.. Nasmyth's care. NJ. Mas
myth was obliged to complain,
and request by letter to the prin-
cipaI that the students should
be more moderate in their ap-
plause or express it in some
other way than by beating the
floor with their feet. On re-
ceiving the letter, DIR. Chalmers
promptly informed the students
of Mr.. Ms complaint, and beg
ged that they would at once COM
ply with his request, saying, 81

we shonld to give offence to any
neighbor, but more especially
to Mr.. Nasmyth, gentleman

Blanket Romance.

An estiinable lady living in
the near edge of Pueblo cou2ty.
Col, had occasion to visit the
States few months since and
found it convenient to borrow a
handsome red blanket of Mr.. Ed.
Redmond, a highly respectable
and jolly stock man of our coun.
ty. At Deliver, where the lady
stopped one might, the hotel was
crowded and, two other ladies oc-
cupied the same room. The
night being cold the possessor of
the blanket generously offered
her room-mates the valuable ar.
ticle for their comfort during the
night, but at the same time en-
Joined them to take good care of
it as it was a borrowed one
The ladies gratefully accepted the
kind offer, and wi.il.a curiosity
peculiar to their sex asked who
might be the happy owner Of the
handsome article, and were told
that twas Mr.. Redmond, a bach,
elor friend living in Southern Col
orado. In the morning, one Of
the ladies, a handsome young wild
ow, clipped small piece off one
corner of the blanket and put it
in her pocket, and returning the
blanket with her card, said:
"Tell Mr.. Redmond If he wants
the rest OF his blanket to come aud
get it." s
In due time the lady returned
from her eastern visit and deliver.
ed the owner his property, the
card and message. Mr.. Redmond,
not to he outdone by a banter
from a lady, wrote her n note
Other notes followed each way
Their intimacy, SO romantically
begun, ripened into love and mar
riage, although they had not seen
each other till the time the nup-
tials were celebrated. " ID
After Mr.. Redmond had started
on his trip to claim his Glowing
BRIDE" he vas met at the depot
at Colorado Springs by our eff
cient Clerk of the District Court,
George A. Butte, and told that he
would haze to be- retained as
witness in an i'm ortant case that
would soon come up in the court.
Mr.. Redmond pleaded important
business in D5nver-business that !
could not be attended to without
his presence--but found Mr. Butte
ineXorahle until he told him the
nature of the business, when Mr..
Butte, recollecting that he him
self was q bachelor thought it
right to obey the Scripture COM
mand: "DO unto others as you
would have them do unto yOu!2
Without further detention MIR.
Redmond arrived safely in Denver,
claimed successfully his bride, and,
On leaving to return with her to
his home, he was told by some
young ladies present that if there
we're any other bachelors in
Colorado having red

A Long, Unwilling Ride,


The Elizabeth Journal says: A
few days since a man whose name
Is not given, but who is resident
and citizen Of Chicago, was engag
ed in either counting or fixing the
barrels OF flour that had been put
into freight car for sDsportstiOn
t. New York. There was consid-
cradle nDis, and hustle outside
the Car. and a5 the nan was not
seen, one of the train men came
along, pushed the heavy door to
with a bang, locked it securely
and went away. The train at
that moment started off, and the
man, though making all the noise
he could, was not heard. 1t was
not until few days after that he
made his position known, the
train in the meantime having
reached the meadows, a little this
side of Jersey City. lie was nearly
exhausted and his first words as
the car door was opened were,
"For God S sake, give me some wa
ter" 1t was at first thought that
he was n thief or one Of those
train poachers who steal rides and
all they can get besides. lie was
sent to Mr.. Jackson, Superintend.
ent OF the road, and the story he
told was SO straightforward shat
it was entirely believed. Mr..
Jackson gave the man a pass back
to Chicago, and he at once took
the train for the West, enjoying
his second ride much better than
the first. After this he won't
fool around much in the inside of
a freight car.

"A Thousand Years Ago.
The sun went down in red and gold,
watched it from the hill,
With purple clouds like banners rolled,
Whose tips are rosy still.
Where are the eyes that oft of old
Have watched in veal or woe,
While the sun set in rcd and gold,
A thousand years ago?
A linnet perched upon the bush,
And sang in thrilling strain,
Duetting with his neighbor thrush, -
Till the air thrilled again;
And all the wood with music rang,
Their voices echoed So
Who listened while the linnet sang,
A thousand years ago?
Where are they-all those beating hearts
That lived and throbbed like ours,
Who acted out their separate parts,
And used their varied powers?
The hearts that gasped, and thrilled, and
burned,
And writhed in PASSIONS glow,
Or with the tenderest pity yearned, t
A thousand years ago?
Where are they? Uaply over some
The dust to dust" was said,
Who slumber each in hallowcd tomb,
Till angels wake the dead.
Some linger in the dreahlless sleep
In oceans coral caves; s-
And mighty fragrant forests weep
Their dew on others graves.
But all their souls, we must be sure,
The 8 ave can never hold
The Immortal essence will endure
When hearts and hands grew cold.
They may be floating round us now,
Above us and beneath,
The very breeze that fans our brow
May be spirits breath.
[ doubt not but they mark wi signs
3 Our faults and folIies all; -...
Oh! sad TO think some Spirits eyes
Grow DINNER when We fail
Like US the end of time they wait,
Their final doom to know,
Whatever was their earthly state
A thousand years ago.
