LET Us TRY TO BE HAPPY.


Let us try to be happy! We may, IL we will,
Find some pleasures In life to o'erbalance the
ill:
There was never an evil, If we'll understood,
But what, rightly managed, would turn to
good.
II we were but as ready to look to the light
AS we are to sit moping because IL Is night.
We should own 1T truth, both in word AN in
deed,
That who tries to be happy is sure to succeed.
Let us try to be happyl Some shades Of re-
gret
Are sure to hang around, which we can NOT
forget;
There are times when the lightest of spirits
must bow,
And the sunniest face wear a cloud on its
brow;
We must never bid feelings, the purest and
best,
Lie blunted and cold in our bosom at rest;
But the deeper our own griefs, the greater our
need
To try to be happy, lest other hearts bleed.
Let us try to be happyl 1t is not for long
We shall cheer on each other with counsel or
song;
II we but make the best Of our time that we
may,
There is much we can do to enliyen the way;
Let us only in earnesbness each do our best,
Before God and our conscience, ana trust for
the rest,
Still taking this truth, both in word and in
deed,
That who tries to be happy is sure to succeed.

One OF the most stirring occasions In
the routine OF express duties Is the sale
by auction OF the 0oid hoss," or un.
claimed freight which accumulates from
time to time. When every possible
method to find the owners has been tried
and has failed, an auctioneer Is called
in, and the articles are sold to 'defray
expenses. No package is allowed to be
opened or examined until 1t has been
purchased, and spirit OF speculation is
thus excited in those who assemble.
Small carefully sealed packages bring
the highest prices, on the supposition
that they may contain jewelry. An ava
ricious old customer once paid ten dol
lars for neat little brown paper parcel
sealed with evident care at both ends.
1t contained a hundred or more "reject-
ed addresses" from a swain to s'the fair
sun of all her SEX" Another similar
parcel was knocked down TO q bidder
for eight dollars, and was found to con-
tain set of false teeth.
Patent medicines, whisky "a still MOI Q
patent medicine), toys, old Clothes, sur
gical instruments, disiniectants, pre-
served animals, old magazines, false
hair, and many stranger things, are usu-
ally found among the "old hoss" pack
ages. 1t may be assumed that most of
them are of small value, as we have
said, inasmuch as either the sender or
the consignee of valuables would take
care to have a thorough search made for
any valuable property.-Harpers Maya

LincOln's Baker Story.

Colonel Baker, who was killed at BalPs
Bluff during the late rebellion, was we'll
known in Springfield. Illinois, and it
was Of him Mr.. Lincoln used to tell the
following story;
Colonel Baker was very courteous to
ladies, always treating them with great
politeness and attention. lie was start
ing on a journey at one time, when a
lady was placed in his care by an &C.
quaintance. Now the colonel knew
nothing whatever OF this lady, but she
panion, and he made her as comfortable
as possible in the old stage-coach. On
the next morning they stopped for break
fast in Galena, and while that meal WAS
being prepared they were shown into a
parlor ON the second floor. Here the
lady seated herself by an open window
looking out on the street, while the col
-onei paced the floor, with his hands
folded behind him, as was his custom,
for he always seemed as restless as a
Gagged bear when confined in room.
Other passengers were in the parlor, and
they were speaking of some late de-
taulter, some blaming him, others say
ing he had done what he could to save
his creditors. At last one OF the gentle.
men appealed to Colonel Baker, asking
what he thought of the defaulter.
''Think of himl" exclaimed the col.
onel. "Why, that he should be hung
without mercy. He is scoundrel."
AT this the lady left her seat, and,
standing in front OF the colonel with
flashing eyes, said, "Colonel Baker, per-
haps it may interest you to know that
the gentleman you so readily condemn
is my unclew
The colonel ceased his walk, and CIV
ing one appealing look to his tair friend,
he began to draw off his coat, and ap-
preaching the open window, said, 81
have nothing more to say, madam; but
give the word, and will throw myself
from this window"
The sacrifice was not demanded, and
they continued their journey in peace

cesstul will revolutionize the fruit busi-
ness everywhere and prove of much
benefit to growers and consumers. A New
York man, who has had large expert
ence in shipping meats in cold air tanks
from Texas to New York and Liverpool,
claims that he can keep peaches
and other fruit sound for any length
of time in store houses where
an even temperature Of one degree above
The freezing point can be sustained. He
proposes to create this temperature inside
his fruit warehouse by means of currents
Of cold air, and to begin his experiments
this season upon large quantity of
peaches, the supply of which promises
to be unusually great. The storehouse
and apparatus, which he is about to
erect, are to cost $4,000. He is being
encouraged by the fruit growers of
Maryland, and, il successful, will create
q revolution in the fruit business of the
country and confer benefit upon the
public in furnishing them fresh and
wholesome fruit at all seasons.

ALFONSO is doubtless nearing the end
of his career as King of Spain. He had
not much to expect from the condition in
which he found affairs when he received
the crown. With debt 80 heavy that
the whole revenue of the country would
barely pay its interest and the expense
Of the army, leaving next to nothing to
run the civil government, with two for
midable rebellions to look after,a and with
dissensions at home and complications
abroad, no one could see ahead of the
young King anything but certain and
speedy failure. The enthusiasm which
Lhe new Government for little while
infused is about dying out, and the end
is not far. What Spain will next do it
Is not an easy matter to surmise.

and in the enthusiastic manner in which
the visitors were received everywhere.
Concerning this, Governor Kemper, OF
Virginia, in an address to the knights
Templar of Richmond, said:
You went as Virginians proud of Vir-
ginia ana all her past. You went with
the smell of Confederate battles on your
garments, with your minds and bodies
erect, with your brOws uplifted, with
such true faith to your State and the
Union as none but brave hearts feel-to
greet and to be greeted by the represent
tatiye men of New England and Of the
States as respected equals and honored
peers. On the basis OF equal rights and
citizenship and mutual and cordial re-
spect and good will, you greeted and
were greeted by the representatives of
our sister States of the North. Notwith-
standing the years of alienation and
fratricidal strife, you were thus recog-
nized and welcomed as friends and
equal citizens of q reunited common
country. In this spirit and in this way
you have gone step toward inaugural
ing the true work of the centennial Pc
section To see the other as each sees it.
self-the work which is to eXtinguish
all sectional animosities forever-which
is to restore real peace, equal justice,
equal rights, equal protection, equal
beneticence, harmony, fraternity, and
prosperity to every section and to every
portion of the great American Republic.
On such basis as that may the American
Union of States rest, indissoluble, inde-
structible, eternal as the solid continent
ON which we stand On no other basis
| ought it to rest. On no other basis will
any patriot desire it to rest.
The result is also especially noticeable
in the Fourth Of July celebrations of this
year in all parts of the South. Since the
warthe Fourth has generally passed un-
observed by the great body of citizens oi
that region. Even before the war the
celebrations were not as general or as
enthusiastic as in the North, but the last
fifteen anniversaries Of that day have
been especially neglected by the South,
ern people, and the return of the occa.
sion but little thought of. A great differ.
ence is, however, perceptible this year,
and our dispatches from all the princi-
pal points in the Southern States showed
that the national anniversary was more
thoroughly aud enthusiastically cele-
brated on Monday last than it had been
for very many years, and that Il general
feeling Of good will and broad national
fraternization seemed to exist every
where. This is but the beginning OF the
good work which the Centennial is bring
ing about. The Southern States are to
be largely and honorably represented in
the national exposition, and their citi-
zens will attend in large numbers. The
citizens OF Philadelphia and of the North
in general will extend to them, as they
are now doing, the hand of cordial well
come, and the result will be that the
close of 1876 will see more thorough
feeling of brotherhood and national love
and union than existed for many years
previous to the war.

A VESSEL which recently arrived in
New York from Liberia brought $4,000
pounds of coffee, 100, 1000 pounds of sugar,
100000 pounds Of ginger, 90 tons OF cam
wood, 10000 gallons of palm oil, and a
large quantity OF other merchandise, all
productions of the Libe1ian colony. Al
though the chronic grumblers are con-
stantly complaining that this colony,
which was organized in 1920, just
two hundred years after the first
sale OF slaves to the Virginians,
Is not a success, yet this small
proportion of its last years prod
ucts speaks we'll for it and for the labors
Of its people. This cargo is one of sev-
eral sent annually to this country,
while large amounts of like productions

Although the emigration from the col.
ored population of this country to Libe.
ria is small and the tendency is too
much to retain everything that can cast
ballot, yet it can not be successful y
shown that the Liberian colony is not a
benefit to those accepting it's offers or
that it is not in tlourishing condition.
The Congress of Liberia recently passed
an act giving premium for the
planting Of coffee trees and the re.
suit is that during last season
alone, 125,0O0 coffee trees were planted
In the colony. Their yield alone will
amount to half million pounds of coffee
annually, and it is believed that during
the present year another hundred thou
sand trees Will be added. The principal
want of Liberia now seems to be a
method OF opening up the interior, and
to aid in this, Mr.. Robert Arlington, an
English philanthropist, who has al
ready done much for the colony, pro-
poses to give a considerable SUM for
making roads to the interior, pro-
vided parties in this country will give
like amount for that purpose. The yes-
sci mentioned above, on its return trip
lew days since, took back several "a
lives who have been in this country for
some time studying our Government and
institutions, and also carried over
number Of missionaries from this ooun-
try. The colony. although not attracting
the attention it deserves, is nevertheless
in fourishing condition and is having
q beneficial influence upon the inhabit-
ants Of Western Africa, and has materi.
ally benefited the condition Of its men,
