/ have referred in my book to that
coroner Of ours who seized an Egyp-
tan mummy that was brought into
town, summoned jury, held an in
quest on the mummy, brought in q
verdict of death from causes un-
known" and charged the county
with the usual fee, with compound
interest from the time Of Moses.
Well, the coroner is still in Office,
and is still enthusiastic about his pro-
fession. Last Sunday night he was
at church. The minister preached o
very solemn sermon upon Noah's
food, and after it was over / met the
coroner in the aisle and said to him
Every impressive discourse, Mr..
Wheeler, wasn't it.
Beautiful sir, beautiful" replied
Wheeler, "And yet it seemed TO be
kinder mournful, too
"Indeedl Why it didn'tstrike me
in that way. It was solemn, Of
course; but its tendency certainly is
to fill the heart Of every truly good
man with cheerfulness and hope."l
"Oh, | know all that, said Wheel.
er, "but didn't he say there were sew
eral million people drowned in that
food?" H
''I believe he did.
"Well, then, / say that when
think of all that mortality, and re-
member that I wasn't q coroner then
and amt likely to. be when. there il
another such a freshet, it makes me
sick. There amt nothing Cheerful
about such reflections, feel as if ]
hadn't been treated right; as if IL

It Never Pays.

II never pays TO fret and growl
When fortune seems our foe:
The better bred will push ahead
And strike the braver blow.
For luck Is work.
And those who shirk
Should not lament their doom.
But yield the play,
And clear the way
That better men have room.
II never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain, I
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheapest bought with pain.

A cosy cot,
Has tempted even kings,
For station high.
That wealth will buy,
Not oft contentment brings.

Well worthy OF a song.
For age and youth must learn atrlth,
That nothing pays that's wrong.

To bring prolonged suoCcSs,
While what is right

In the Senate, the Committee on
Corporations having reported favorably
on the bill to amend the charter Of the

moved suspension of the rules for
the purpose of considering the same,
when Mr.. Cantwell very promptly
arose to oppose it. After some dis
cussion the Senate refused to suspend
the rules, a two-thirds vote being ne
cessary, and a motion by Mr.. Cant
we'll that it be sent to a Committee OF
Conference, was cut short by the IN
PRODUCTION of the special order. On
Wednesday, the bill was made the
special order for yesterday, at II
o'clock, when it passed its first read
ing by strict party vote, and despite
the blood breathing inVectlves OF hlr.

plin, LeGrand, of Richmond, Wa
ring, of Mecklenberg, Kerr, of SanP-
son, and Cantwell, of New Hanover,
but pending the question the Senate
adjourned.
A very interesting report Of the de,
bate on these two-biIls will be found
in the regular report of Tuesdays and
