A Buried Treasure.

The Natchez Miss Neac South
relates how two mysterious men
came to Natchez, proceeded to a
point on st. Catharine's Creek, and
hired negro to dig hole at the
foot of a large cottonwood tree. He
worked all night, and the Ncoe South
reports results:
BY o'clock considerable num-
Der Of spectators had assembled at
the spot, and their presence appear
ed to annoy the strangers considera-
bly,, but did not interfere with the
work. The hole had by this time
assumed considerable dimensions, be-
ing some eight feet deep and several
feet wide. when suddenly the colored
man struck his spade on some hard
substance, which produced a grating
noise, causing the two white men to
become excited and somewhat ner-
vous, as if the oh Get of their myster-
ious undertaking was about to be
consummated They had apparently
struck the looked tor object, but the
men thought it would not do to un
earth it in the presence Of the num-
erous spectators who had been at
tracted to the scene by the strange
proceedings, so one of them sudden
ly discovered that their horse, stand
ing some few yards distant, showed
nd ,,l Ia,
dlatel ran to the horse, at the same
time calling upon the spectators to
follow him, which they did, and as
soon as their backs were turned up
on the excavation, the colored man
with his spade, turned up mahog
any box about eighteen inches long
and six inches wide, which the re-
naming white man hastily snatched
up and covered with his ovcrcoat,
and after ordering the colored man
to fill up the hole and meet them i'll
Il certain place, he hurried to the
buggy, and, in company with the
other white man, drove a. rapid
pace toward the city, leaving the as
teniShed spectators in a state of be-
wilderment, and wondering what all
this business meant. There are Il
great many surmises regarding the
contents of the box, and how 1t came
to be buried at the foot of the cotton
wood tree. The prevailing opinion
is that the box contained diamonds,
specie and greenbacks, rs one of the
men paid the livery bill with musty
$40 greenback, issued during The
war, which was probably portion
of the contents of the box. The two
white meu are supposed to have for
merly belonged to Wisconsin reg
iment which was stationed here dur
ing the war, and the box ahd con-
tents were, i'll all probability, stolen
from some residence and buried by
the parties who resurrected it, or by
other members Of the same regiment
who let them into the secret. 1t is
rulnored that the box and contents
was valued 1t $4,000.

Nine Terms in the Penitentiary.

At Philadelphia, the other day,
Chas. Langheiner, "a years old, was
held to answer the charge of stealing
an ovcrcoat. Langheimer is the
man described by Dickens in his
"Amcrlcan Notes." The novelist
speaks Of him as he saw him in the
Eastern Penitentiary over thirty years
ago, picture Of forlorn afiliction and
distress Of mind. Langheimer has
served nine terms in the Eastern
Penitentiary. The reformatory teach
ings of that institution seem to have
little effect upon the stolid Dutch
man, as upon gaining his liberty he
is always upon the lookout for some
thing new. He has occupied the
same cell every term, and in one
corner in a lot of earth he lays out a
garden which looks much like a
grave, and in which he takes espec-
ial pride.

have examined these rich men,
and found that the happiest time
of their life is when they are making
their money. After they get rich
and sit down to enjoy it, trouble be-
gins.
Most people arr anxious to get the

some chance to hear the truth.
Men who originate ideas are sell
dom the ones to execute them.
Without trials and temptations
man would nothing more than fun
gus.
Things that must happen are a
great deal easier to get along with
than things that may happen.
MiSers are strange critters-they
seem to enjoy only those things they
amt got.
There is no greater tyranny than
fear.
The most pleasant prospect from
the top of high mountain Is to look
back and see the ragged way we
have come.
have tried all the most approved
plans, and | find that the cheapest
way to manage 4 woman is to let her
have her own way.
Most of the miserable would be
comparatively happy If they would
only compare their condition with
those beneath instead of those above
them.
Truth is never in hurry, but lie
is always on the jump.
There is great are in carrying
your points without seeming at all

1t costs less to agree with fool

Obstinacy might be excuSable in

Men who love the least to make
money love the least to spond it.
There is nothing that God loves

There is no man more than hall

The Accepted Lover.

The behavior of the engaged
couple affords the idle spectator
much food for amusing reflection;
and not their behavior only, but that
of the family towards them. If they
enter room together, every one
fees from it Immediately, as if they
had the smallpox. If you come up
on them in the library alone,you may
not so much as pause to find your
book, but must precIpitately retreat,
taking care to shut the door. The
gentleman does not always seem to
enjoy these conditions. He may not
find conversation very ready to hand,
may even like the society of others
of his own sex. He may look back
regrettully to the time when he
could talk to his sisters, or rather
when they were still willing to talk
to him. He may be so cold blooded
as to anticipate time when he and
his wife will see almost too much of
each other. When they go out to
walk or ride, he may prefer the com
pany of the elder sister, who is a
horsewoman; or of the younger, who
sketches, He may like the singing
of one, the wit of another,or possibly
even the looks Of third. But he is
not allowed to enjoy any of these
things. Sisters who are loyal to each
other, would consider it shocking
He is bound to the one and the one
only, and it is sad to see him some
times when stampede takes place
at his coming, as he hopelessly looks
after the retreatlng figures and seats
himself, with an Unsurpassed yawn,
by the side of the engaged one
Hardly less trying is the fate of the
lover who finds himself taken as u
brother by the whole family at once
who has to kiss all his new sisters,
and submit to the same familiarity,
and even the same lectures, which
their real brothers bear so badly
He cannot call them "girls" with a
contemptuous accent on the word,
nor can he shake himself loose from
their embraces with rubbish or a
stronger expression. They give HIM
commissioner to execute in town which
their brothers have long ago refused
to undertake, and expect him to pay
out of his own pocket for everything
he ge,s them. In fact, he finds his
position very unenviable; and if he
fails to divert theirattention by bring
ing a friend upon the scene rs sec
ond victim to the family charms, he
probably offends his lady-lovc by
confiding to her that he is not en-
gagged to all her sisters, as well as
to her, and only intends to marry
one of the family. In some houses,
too, different kind OF trial awaits
the happy pair. They are never left
alone together. Some mothers keep
up the chaperon system in all it's rig
or till the knot is indissolubly tied.
Silence is the most powerful ans
wer that any person can give to
abuse.
Politeness is the only thing that
can add any charm to honesty.

An Unfortunate White Man.
New England Journal of Education

A gentleman made application for
a school in Maine, and presented
himself to the board for examination
as to his qualifications. Arithmetic
cal questions were pronosed. The
teacher stumbled and halted. but
finally made out to cipher out the
answers. Said the committeeman:
"Can you locate Boston," He an
swered: 81 know all about it, prob
ably just as well as you do; have
heard of the place several times, but
can't, somehow or other, seem to To-
cate it," With a view to helping
him out, the committeeman said:-
1t is the capital Of some State is it
not?" "Ycs, | believe it is" "What
State:" "Well, I know probably as
well as you do what State Boston is
the capital of, but you see, | havn't
get the flow Of language to express

cried Mick-"The Lord above be
praised! Here at last, safe and
sound"
My father did not speak, but dis
mounted slowly, helped me to my
feet, then flinging the reins to Mike,
walked into the house, and laid the
blunderbuss on the table in the par
lor as softly as if it had been child.
"rhis old piece has never done Il
better piece of work than tonight"
he said, solemly; ''for it has saved a
life instead of staying. But what do
