The Rocky Mountain Herald, in ;

The Rocky Mountain Herald, in ar
article upon Kit Carson, says his
body now lies chucked away in 4
cayote patch, under the shade Of a
couple OF cottonwoods, on the Arkan-
sas (Southern ColoraGo), without q
piece Of picket railing to protect his
grave from the prowling wolves, or
even a pencil mark on the single
for head stone, TO tell the traveller
that Kit Carson sleeps beneath it. -
Surely the scores of people who are
under obligations to Kit Carson, for
protection on the pralrles and IN the
mountains Of the far West, will not
suffer such state Of things to con-
tinue. If Republics are sometimes
ungrateful or forgetful, let not the
people run in the same direction.

TIE BRIGHT SIDE.

Look on the bright side. 1t is the right
side. The times may be hard. but it will
make them no easier to wear gloomy
and sad countenance. 1t is the sunshine
and not the cloud that gives beauty to the
flower. There is always before or around
US that which should cheer and fill the
heart with warmth and gladness. The
sky is blue ten times where it is black
once. You have troubles. it may be. So
have others. None are free from them !;
and perhaps it is as well that none should
be. They give sinew and tone to life,
fortitude and courage to man. That would
be dull sea, and the sailor would never
acquire skill where there was nothing to
disturb its surface 1t is the duty Of every
one to extract all the happiness and enjoy
ment he can within and without him and
above all, he should look on the bright
side. What though things do look little
dark? The lane will tuIn. and the night
will end in broad day. In the long run,
the great balance rights itself. What ap-
pears i'll becomes wel-that which ap-
pears wrong, right. Men are not made
to hang down their heads or lips. and
those who do, only show that they are de-
parting from the paths of true common
sense and right. There is more virtue in
one sunbeam than in a whole hemisphere
of clouds and gloom. Therefore. we re-
peat. look on the bright side. Cultivate
all that is warm and genial-not the cold
and repusive. the dark and morose.

SEVERAL GLASSES TOO MUCH.

During Mr.. Chas. Pope's management
Of a Southern theatre, one night when
some heightened star was holding forth, Q
great sensation was produced by nauti-
cal looking gentleman who, with all dig
nifty, produced a spyglass, and when the
lorgne'tes were directed at the stage, with
report like young pistol pulled the crit
ter out 10 its full proportions and levelled
it at the performer.
This novelty in the way of an opera
glass created so much diversion that the
the word was sent to offending sailor that
he must put it up, which he said he
wouldn't as he said it was his style of glass,
and he was going TO use It.
Further remonstrance resulted in the
spygass shutting up. and the old gen.
tleman indignantly walking out as the cur
tain fell on The first act. .t
Before it rose again in walked the sea-
faring man in company with eight others
of the same brand as himself.
Solemnly they were escorted to seats.
all near together. The play proceeded:
oil sudden, crack, fizZ, squeak went nine
spy-gasses, some OF them q yard long.
Simultaneously the whole nine were pulled
out to their EXTREMIST length. aud the
weather beaten old countenances brought
to bear on the end Of them.
The audience howled, the players strug-
gled on, but the instant an exciting pas
sage was reached, whang went the nine
spyglasses. and the crowd yelled with de-
light.
In this way the performsnce dragged
along till, as actors and audiance could
stand it no longer, the play was brought to
an untimely end; the eight old sea-dogs,
who had been summoned off the levee to
assist the original offender, filed out be-
hind him, fully avenged for all interfer-
ence, with the triumphant spyglasses un-
der their arms.
