never does interfere, has taken on him
self to mix things up dreadfully. Over

even fancy you do not imagine that
you are indebted to me for the posi-

"What rude little jackanapes you
must be-" replied John. "Still,
though you annoyed me on the Oath,
can't bear you much of a grudge now,
after Christmas, for, if you have had
not boon impertinent, why your chief
would never have interfered, and so
made away with my doll" @~

you amt quite crazy. you are likely
soon to become lunatic. A precious
shipping-clerk you will make, and the
lots of papers that will be stuck at me
when l have to hunt up for your lost
goods. Here, don't bother me. Re-
port to the manager-that man there,

snapped to with a spiteful jerk.
John Austin was regularly installed
as shipping clerk. When be had held
the position for day he CHANGED to
meet the head Of the house. The ship
ping-clerk, as he saluted his chief DO
litely, might have then been inclined
to gush the least possible bit, but the
master gazed at him in q vacant kind
of way, for John Austin had entirely
passed out Of his mind Perhaps the
duties imposed on Austin are the only
ones the man can fill now. The aggres-
sive clerks prophesy about packages
going astray may in time become true.
When spring sets in it is quite likely
that John Austin, reclining against q
wharf timber, his eyes half closed, may
be freighting his fancies like argosies
with all kinds of useless and perishable
goods, and will be forwarding impossi-
BILE packages to those drifting clouds
which float in the summer skies.
Strange to say, like many mems feeble
romances, which accidentally centre
around themselves, the causes of which
are ignored, John Austin will always
think he owed his place, and relief
from misery and starvation, to bis
famous letter of recommendation. As
to his Christmas doll, he entirely ignor-

A CHRISTMAS SONG.
BY MRS. HATTIE s, RUSSELL,

BY MRS. HATTIE s. RUSSELL.
The oak Is strong and stalwart tree,
And it lifts its branches up, .+, = Pm.
And catches the dew right CALAMITY *<''
In many a dainty cup.
And the world is brighter and better made,
Because Of the woodlands stroke,
descending in sun, or falling in shade,
, IN the sturdy form of the oak.
b VI stronger, ween, in apparel green,
ana trappings SO fair to see;
with Its precious freight for small and great
LIS the beautiful Christmas tree.
The elm Is a kind and goolly tree,
with Its branches bending low:
Inc heart is glad when its form we see,
AS we list to the rivers flOw
Ay! the heart is glad, and the pulses bound
And JOY 1llumines the face
whenever gOOdly elm is foun d.
Because of its beauty and era ce
but klnder, Ween, more gOodly in mien,
With branches more dropping and free
The tints Of whose leaves, fidelity weaves,
Is the beautiful Christm as tree
The maple is supple, and 1.-the, and strong,
And claimeth our love anew,
When the days are listless, quiet and long,
And the world is fair to view.
And later,-as beauties and graces unfold
: A monarch right 1egally drest
With streamers afame and pennons of gold,
1t seemeth of all the best.
More lfssome, ween, the brightness and sheen
And the coloring, sunny and free,
And the banners soft, that are held aloft,
By the beautiful Christma tree.

Heaying the Lead.

The steamer Fanny was coming down
the upper Mississippi loaded with pig
lead. AS she was going over a shoal
place the pilot gave the signal to heave
the lead. The only man forward was
a greenhorn. "Why don't you heave
the lead?" els it the lead your honor !?
Where TOT? "Overboard, you block
head" The man snatched up one of
the pigs of lead and threw it overbord.
The mate, in endeavoring to prevent
him, lost his balance and fell into the
river. The captain, running to the
deck, asked: "Why don't you heaye
the lead, and sing out how much water
there Tsp" "The lead is heaved, yer
honor, and the mates gone down to see
how much water there is"

an HONEST CONFESSION.
BY yANDYKE BROWN,


With thoughts of com panionship only
sit in my bleak little room,
Detected, Respondent and lonely
While the twilight deepens to gloom,
sit here and stare st the ceiling
And muse and wonder and think
How hard is the task of living
By paper and pen aud ink
All, once, I remember fancied
mat writing would win mea name
Inc world at that time seemed fairer,
AND yearned for the bubble of fame.
SO, filled with a burning desire,
sat down to labor and think
70 astonish mankind by the magic
VI paper and pen and ink
began on an epic, and finished
Some twenty odd lines, and no more:
Then essayed with pluck undiminished,
A drama, which died at Act Four;
Then courted the coy Erato,
Nor permitted my spirits to sink
WAS bound to get riches and honor
From paper and pen and ink
Alas for the dreams that cherished
When first laid hold of my pen!
Alas for the hopes that have persisted,
And the miery suffered since then
Where now is that spirit courageous 49,
Which was never to falter or shrink
Where-where are the triumphs dreamed at
With paper and pen and ink.
Once it ca used me q thrill and flutter
To see my illusions in print
Now I write for my bread and my butter,
And my hesrt Is haro as flint;
You may talk of the mythical muses.,
But the craving for meat and for drink
Is the truest incentive to labor
With paper and pen and ink!
weave the most thrilling romances
Out of fabrics exceedingly thin
Brave knights with their armor and 1ances,
And maidens with lilly-white skin;
And murder those maidens so lovely
Then restore 'em to life in q wink,
And marry em off to william,
With paper an" pen and ink!
/ have won neither wealth nor position,
Nor the coveted prize Of a name;
/ have buried the dreams of ambition,
And forgotten the phantom of fame.
labor no longer on epics,
Nor tremble on tragedy's brink
I'm thankful to earn bare living
With paper and pen and ink.
So, with thoughts of companionshlp only,
sit in my bleak little room,
Detected, Respondent, and lonely,
While the twilight deepens with gloom;
/ sit here and stare at the ceiling,
And smile to myself as think
Of the castles in Spain erected
On paper and pen and ink.

Fatal Fight Between Two Rams.

A fight of rather novel character
took place in field near Upper Saliva,
England, on the 18th of last month.
Two rams had been turned into field
to Craze with some sheep, one the prop
erty of Mr.. John Howell, surgeon, and
the other the property of Mr.. Henry
John, shoemaker. The doctors ram
was flirting with a good looking sheep,
when the other went up and interfered.
The interruption brought about some
bad temper, and the two rams ultimate
ly fought very savagely. The doctors
ram, being the stronger animal, soon
vanquished the other, and at the end of
the fight dealt his adversary such q
stunning blow on the side of the head
that he in few minutes expired. The
dead animal was Immediately bled and
converted into mutton.

How the Nevada Indians live.
Eureka Sentinel.

The weather yesterday was of q
character to depress the spirits of the
noble red man. A dead-in-earnest
snowstorm he didn't mind q bit; but
wet, thawing weather gets him. When
the snow banks up on his wickiup it
aids to keep him warm; but in rain
or thaw the trickling moisture works
through the holes in his residence,
which is constructed of pretty much
all holes, and the cold drops insidiously
crawl under his clothes at his neck and
creep down his spine and make him
get up and howl. In such weather he
don't believe that there is no place like
home, and SO he doesn't stay at home.
He wraps his blanket about him and
seeks the haunts of the pale face and
lounges on the street corners and chats
with his own or some other Indians
squaw. When it is considered that the
Indians sleep at night On the damp
ground, with scarcely any shelter to
speak of, and during the daytime, no
matter how severe the weather, seldom
enter a house, one would think their
lives must be miserable to an extreme.
But such does not seem to be the case;
They were born on the bleak hillsides
and the miserable structure for which
hut is too good name is the only kind
of home they nave ever known. Most
of them would die if forced to live in q
comfortable dwelling; and, so long as
they possess blanket and get enough
to eat and can earn q little silver to
gamble with, they are far more happy
and contented than the majority of
white people who live in luxury.

Her LOng-Lost Uncle.


He was a man with brOnzed features,
stoop shoulders, and long hair, and, as
he walked up Fifth street, any one
could have told that he had made q
pile of money in some far-of country
and bad come home to live with some
of his almost forgotten relatives. He
finally found the house he was looking
for, knocked at the door, and that was
the last the boys saw of him. The rest
of the story was yesterday told to po-
iceman by Mrs. Mccarthy. Said she:
"I was ashing me dishes VIXEN I
heard a knock at the door, and I ran
and opened it. It was a stranger on
the step, and he smiled like duck and
axed me does Mister Mccarthy live
here? He does says I, and then says
he: WAS your maiden name Mrs.
O'Raferty? 1t was, says I, and at that
be begun hugging and kissing Nv me,
and called out, [ am your long-lost
uncle from Queenstown!
"Well, that was very nice, remarked
the officer.
"Nice, was it! On, the sneaking
villain! [ set him up to a warm break
fast, and me eyes were full of tears, for
I thought be had money by the thou
sands. After he cleared the table he
borrowed dollar Nv me to telegraph
to Ireland that he was safe here, axed
