Miners and Gambling.

A DENVER (Col.) correspondent of the
Fitchburg (Mass.) Sentinel, writes: Early
in the year 1860 boy left his home in
the States, bound for the new Ell Dorado
then known as Pixies Peak. After sew
eral years of varied experience he made
a raise" from mining enterprise and
started on a visit TO the old folks at
home. But on reaching Denver the in
fatuations of that city were too much for
him. In hopes of increasing his fortune
he played heavily and lost ALL and re-
turned to the mountains without a dol
lar. Years passed on and another wind
fall' came into his possession. and again
his passion for the green cloth" got the
better Of him while on his way through
Denver and he was obliged to borrow
money in order to get back to the mines
Last month fortune again favored him,
when he succeeded in passing Denver
and it's allurements in safety and is now
enjoying the pleasures of home and the
society of his early friends for the first
time in nearly fifteen years. There are
countless numbers of men here who have
sQuandered thousands of dollars that
they have suddenly acquired from work
ing or selling mines. 1t seems as natural
for them to repeat the operation as for
the sun to shine; money flies in every
direction as long as they have any.

Sagacity Of the Partridge.

AN interesting instance of the sagac-
ity with which the partridge will protect
its young is given by Mr.. Henshaw, of
the Government survey west Of the Tooth
meridian. While riding through pine
woods a brood Of partridge containing
the mother and eight or ten young, about
week old, was come upon so suddenly
that the feet of the foremost mule al
most trod on them. The young rose,
flew few yards and, dropping down,
were in an instant hid in the underbrush
The mother meanwhile began some very
peculiar tactics. Rising up, she fell
back again to the ground as if perfectly
helpless, and initiated the actions of a
wounded bird so successfully that for a
moment it was thought she had really
been trodden upon. Several of the men,
completely deceived, attempted to catch
her, but she futtered away, keeping just
out of reach of their hands until they had
been enticed ten or twelve yards off,
when she rose and was off like bullet
Her tactics had successfully covered the
retreat of her young.

Effect of Lightning on Trees.

A SWISS savant named Colladon has
made some interesting observations in re-
gard to the effect produced on different
kinds of trees by lightning. In the neigh
borhood Of Geneva Lake, where these
observations were made, the poplar tree
suffered little by lightning, seeming to
conduct it away rapidly Oaks when
struck lose the tops. Elms are as little
injured as poplars. Colladon has found
that young pear trees recover from the
effects of lightning, but old ones die
which seems to be a proof that young
trees are better conductors. The practi-
cal conclusion that he draws from this
is that the poplar trees may serve as
lightning-rods when planted near houses,
provided care be taken to connect the

JESSIE sat down by her mother to sew.
She was making a pillow-cese for her
own little pillow.
All this?" she asked in discomfort
ed tone, holding the seam out.
"That is not too much for little girl
who has work-basket of her own" said
her mother.
" Yes" thought Jessie, mother has
given me work basket, and / ought to
be willing TO sew" and with that she took
a few stitches quite diligently.
-" / have dreadful pain in my side"
said Jessie, in a few moments. my
thumb is very sore," she said in a few
minutes after. ooh! my hand is so
tired" that was next And with that she
laid down her work Next there was
something the matter with her foot, and
then her eye.
At length the sewing was done Jessie
brought it to her mother.
"Should not first send for doctor?"
said her mother.
"The doctor for me, motherr" cried the
little girl, as surprised as she could be.
" Certainly" said her mother; ga lit
tie girl so full of pains and aches must
be sick, and the sooner we have the doc
tor the better"
ooh, mother!" said Jessie, laughing,
81 they were sewing aches I am well
enough now"
L have heard of other little girls be-
sides Jessie who had sewing aches and
pains whenever their parents had work
for them to do. These aches and pains
do show sickness. They are symptoms
of bad disease, disease which eats
some people up. This disease is called
selfshness" It makes children cross,
and fretful, and disobliging, and trouble
some and unhappy; and | am sure 1t
makes those selfish and unhappy who
have the charge of them.-Chrtstsan at

LITTLE jacks TROUBLE.
BY CHARLOTTE f. DALEY.

BY CHARLOTTE F. DALEY.
LITTLE Jack had deal of trouble,
And this is the reason why:
His eyes would always see double
When they looked at pudding or pie
And when there was chicken for dinner
His eyes saw enough for four,
And he cried when the meal was over
Because he could eat no more.
If you could have seen him at table,
You had thought without a doubt
That his legs and arms must be no low,
And he ate to fill them out.
He had only one little stomach,
Not six, as he thought he had;
And one day when he dined with grandpa
That one felt exceedingly bad.
For he filed it so full of goodies,
Of pie and pudding and cake,
That the Jack who went home to mamma
Was nothing but one big ache.
The doctor came with his physic,
His Hubbard and oil di castor,
And they soaked his feet in hot water,
And they put on mustard plaster.
He lay in bed for a fortnight,
With many groaus and signs,
And the next time he dimes with grandpa
hope he will be more wise.

"There's the dinner-bell," says Club
by, who does not like to be laughed at
Come on, mamma" and before mamma
can possibly get the words out of her
mouth to call him back he is downstairs
and behind his chair eying the roast
like wild beast in cage. His book
lies in the coal-scuttle upstairs, whence
he is sent to pluck it when mamma
comes down. But he is not yet five
years old, and she does not make him go
without his dinner-Jenqie T.. thinner

TIE FARBTER'.S FLRESIDE.

AROUND the fire, one wintry night,
The farmers rosy children sat;
the fagot lent its blazing light,
And mirth went round, and harmless cha
When bark! a gentle hand they hear
Low tapping at the bolted door,
and thus 20 gain their willing ear
\ feeble voice was heard implore:
a Cold blows the blast across the moor,
The sleet drives Kissing in the wind;
Yon toiIsome mountain lies before,
A dreary treeIesa waste behind.
Ny eyes are dim and weak with age;
No road, no path can I descry;
And these poor rags i'll stand the rage
OF such keen, Indictment sky.
- faint am, these tottering feet
No more my paIsied frame can bear;
Ny freezing heart forgets 10 beat
And drifting SHOWS my tomb prepare.
Open your hospftablc door,
And shield me from the biting blast;
Cold, cold it blows across the moor,
The weary moor that have passed.
With ha6ty steps the farmer ran,
and close beside the fire they place
The poor, half frozen beggar- man,
With shaking limbs and pale-bIue face.
The little children docking came
And chafed his frozen hands in theirs;
and busily the good old dame
\ substantial meal prepares
Their kindness cheered his dropping soul,
And slowly down his wrinkled cheek
The big, round tear was seen to roll,
And told The thanks he could not speak
The children then began to sigh,
And al their merry chat was DER;
and get they felt, they know not why,
More glad than they had done before
