A SUNNY FACE.-How sweet in infan-
cy, how lovely in youth, how sanity in
age There are II few noble natures
whose very presence carries sunshine
with them wherever they go; sunshine
which means pity for the poor, sympathy
for the suffering, help for the unfortunate
and benignity towards all. How such
face enlivens every other face it meets,
and carries into every company vivacity
and JOY and gladness. But the scowl and
frown, begotten in a selfish heart. and
manifesting itself in daily, almost hourly
fretfulness, complaining, fault-fnding,
angry criticisms, spi:eful comments of
the motives and actions of others, how
they thin the ch eek, shrivel the face, sour
and sadden the countenance No JOY in
the heart, no nobility in the soul, no gen
erosity in the nature, the whole character
as cold as an iceberg, as hard as an AL
pine rock, as arid as the wastes of Sahara.
Reader, which of these countenances are
you cultivating? If you find yourself
losing all confidence in human nature,
you are nearing an old age of vinegar, of
wormwood and of gall and not a mourn
er will follow your solitary bier, not one
tear-d drop shall ever fall on your forgotten
grave.-Dr. Hall.

How SHE Cor IT.-She was crossing
the street. Dressed in the hight of fash
ion, with skirt drawn tightly about her
form, it was with some difficulty that she
could move her limbs sufficiently to walk.
When at about the middle of the cross
walk, she dropped well-flled wallet out
Of her hand. Then the trouble began in
earnest. She stopped over IN front to pick
it up, but her fingers could not reach the
wallet by at least eight inches. She
changed her parasol into her right hand,
and tried to reach sideways for the wallet
1t was no go, however, for her fingers
did not reach anywhere near the coveted
article. Then she tried to get down on
her knees, but she might as well endeavor
to pick up drop of water with her ear.
She reached backward, but her hand only
extended downward on level with her
hips. She appeared to be much embar-
rassed. We could almost hear her regret
that she had not her "stoop.over" dress
on. What could she do? No ore seemed
10 be passing at the moment who could
assist her. All thought struck her
suddenly. Quickly turning her parasol
with the top to the ground, she glided a
pretty little foot from beneath the snow.
white skirts, and with gentle kick the
wallet lay in the concave parachute. The
fair owner quickly drew up the parasol,
and recovered the wallet, when she i'm
mediately tripped off with the grace and
agility of II boy trying to skate with II
meal sack tied about his lower extremites.

Weaverville, Sept. 25, 1875.

A NARROWING TALE.--It was on
Fourth street, near the Post Office that it
happened, and the particulars would, if
written down, read about ms follows
The man whose duty it was to blow cut
the water mains had just been letting Il
stream of muddy water out of the fire
plug, and it became necessary for pedes-
trians to step over the muddy place to
get to the Post Office. She came along
up X and was about to cross over, when
her keen eye foresaw chat forty weight
inches was too big leap for woman
dressed in the hight of fashion. The San
Francisco train was in, and she knew in
stnctively that there was letter from
Charles Augustus awaiting her at the
window. She stepped back few feet,
and then tried how far she could step
without coming against the rope, COM
pared the distance To be bridged, sub
traeted the one from other, and found
she lacked just twelve inches. What to
do she didn't know and to make matters
worse several young men stood watching
her and evidently understood the situa-
tion. Something must be done and that
quickly. She remembered the auburn
hair OF Augustus, his ripping laugh and
velvet eyes, and that decided her. Love
was the conqueror. Backing up few
yards, she took a run and leap, rising
with both feet close together, and lighting
in the same position, just as robin hops
after crumbs. A smile wreathed her face
and the look she gave to the admiring
crowd who had been watching her, was
equivalent to the application of II puerile
nose to a Juvenile thumb and fingers

Some events occurred 10 America

The American Association pledged the
Colonies not to admit the importation
Of cargoes by English vessels Char
lesion, S. c., which went strongly with
New England, punctually enforced the
terms Of the association. One cargo
was thrown overheard, the consignees
being contumacious. Nothing from an
English vessel could be landed. and an
English ship loaded with nearly three
hundred slaves was denied the psrmis-
sion to land them, and sent out Of the
Colony. In Massachusetts,, the British

the Goth, landed party Of soldiers at
Marblehead. who marched to seize
them. The provincials, having receiv-
ed notice Of the expedition, removed
the munitions to Daavers. The soldiers,
following the pursuit, we're brought to
a stand by bridge with the draw
raised. While the soldiers were thus
detained the military stores were re-
moved to place Of safety. A ICON
vention" was then agreed to between
the soldiers and the provineials, by
which the military we're permitted to
cross the bridge, on the pledge that
they would not advance beyond it more
than thirty PAGES. The leader Of the
detachment, with all bis men, emalated
the example Of the celebrated king
with twenty thousand men" He
marched over the bridge, and then
marched back again This may not
have been very martial proceeding,
but certainly was wise one. And it
indicates also how, down to the latest
possible time, the English troops and
American colonists recognized each
other as ''fellow subjects. In war the
first drop Of blood counts; and until
that is shed, BY rashness or accident,
men naturally hold back from the en-
counter.

Windmills in Holland

The continual winds blowing from
the Atlantic furnish the power gratui-
tously to whirl the vanes and turn the
water wheel attached to the windmill.
There has been little or no improve
ment made on this machine in Holland
for 1000 years. Mo other power is 50
cheap. SO simple or reliable. Without
its application, tVo-thirds of Holland
and one-ffth Of Belgium would even

necessity have to be yielded back to the
ocean, because the cost Of steam ma
chinery, fuel, repairs and attendance,
could ret be supported from the profits
Of the land.
There are II, 900 windmills 10 Hol-
land and Flemish Belgium, each doing
from six to ten horsepower service,
according to the strength Of the wind,
and working twenty-four hours per
day, and every day in the month dur
ing the rainy season, and when the
SHOWS and ice are melting and the
streams are high. The annual cost Of
the windmills in Holland is $4, 900. 900.
Twenty times that sum would not op-
crate steam power sufficient to do their
work for recollect that all the coal
consumed in Holland has to be import
ed from England or Belgium
go where yo4 will, you are never
out Of sight Of windmills in motion.
In the suburbs Of large cities, and at
certain points where the water Of the
bitches and canals is collected to be
thrown over the embankments, they
are congregated like armies Of giants,
and never cease swinging their long,
huge arms. They are constructed Of
much larger dimensions than those seen
10 the United States The usual length
Of the extended arms is about eighty
feet, but many Of them are more than
one hundred and twenty feet.

Economy Of Keeping Sheep.

pay handsome interest on their first
cost-not taking into account their
yield Of fleece and lambs. Much Of the
straw and stalks about the barn yard,
the growth in the fence corners and
other out-of-the-way places, will be
kept clean and slightly by few sheep,
with very little trouble and no expense
to their owners.
Ar regards vegetation, the sheep
may be said to be omnivorous-the
goat is it's only peer-and very few Of
the most troublesome weeds and gras-
ses can long Withstand its short and
persistent clipping In clearing out
and subduing timber pastures they are
invaluable. II turned in when the
young shoots are still succulent, moth
ing within their reach will escape
them. They can be turned into the
stubble6eld after harvest, and not only
thus save every stray head Of grain,
but leave the field clear Of weeds and
in the best possible condition for the
plow With equally good results they
can be herded through field Of stand
ing corn after the growth Of grass and
weeds is we'll under way. This is es-
pecially advantageous where the very
common course is pursued Of sowing
wheat in standing corn. True, now
and then broken or bent stalk falls
prey, but then the advantages Of air
and sunlight to the too long shaded
ground, will be found to compensate
many fold for these light losses In
short. sheep cannot be omitted from
the farm economy without loss to the
farmer who thus overlooks their merits.
