There's a funny tale of a stingy man.
Who was none too good. but might have been
worse.
Who went to church n Sunday night
And carried along his well filled purse.
The church was dim with the candles light;
The stingy man fumbled all through his purse.
And chose coin by touch and not by sight
It's an odd thing now that guineas should be
So like unto pennies in shape ahd size.
81 give q penny" the stingy man said;
THE poor must not gifts OF pennies dcspise."
The penny fell down with clatter and ringl
And back in his seat leaned the stingy man.
'-rhe world is so full of poor.' he thought.
Il can't help them ALL give what can"
Ha. hae how the sexton smiled. to be sure.
To see the golden guinea rail- into the platei
Ha. ha how the stingy mans heart was wrung,
Perceiving his blander. but just too late.
'No matter" he said; "in the Lords account
That guinea of gold is set down to me-
They lend to him who help the poor;
It will not so bad an investment be :"
MA, ma mon" the chuckling sexton cried out; /;
The Lord Is ma cheated-He kens thee well !;
He knew it was only by accident
That aut o. thy fingers the guinea fell
ale keeps an account ma doubt for the puir;
But in that account he'll set down to thee
Ma mair o. that golden guinea. my mon,
Than the one bare penny ye cant to gi'ei"
There's n comfort too, in the little tale
A serious side we'll rs n joke;
comfort for all the generous poor
In the comical words the sexton spoke
A comfort to think that the good Lord knows
How generous we really desire to be,
And will give Us credit i'm his account
For the pennies we long Ito gre"

LEISURE.

In these days of vacations to every
body, except the editor, the following
extract will be full of refreshing mean
ing:
All! what q blessing it is to have
time to breathe, and think, aud look
around onel 1 mean, of course, that
all this is blessing to the man who
has been Over-driven; who has been
living for many days in a breathless
hurry, pushing and driving on, trying
TO get through his work yet never
seeing the end Of it, not knowing to
what task he ought to turn first' so
many are pressing upon him all to-
gether. Some folks, 1 am informed,
like to live in a feyer of excitement,
and In ceaseless crowd of occupa-
tions; but such folk form the minori.
ty of the race. Most human beings
will agree In the assertion that it is q
horrible feeling to be in q hurry. It
wastes the tissues of the body; it
fevers the fine mechanism Of the brain
it renders it impossible for one to en-
joy the scenes Of nature. Trees, fields,
sunsets, rivers, breezes, aud the like,
must all be enjoyed at leisure If enjoy
ed at all.

We were ordered TO make a detail

were doing nothing in particular. we
thought we'd give them a turn. My
sergeant took half dozen of them
with the guard, and, reaching the
picket post, explained that they would
be two hours on and four hours of

Look at this watch. 1t is now six

WHY ALL NEVADA RIVERS RUN INTO
THE GROUND. n ~.


IL Is a well-known peculiarly ot
our Washoe rivers. says the Virginia
City Enterprise, that they all sink into
the earth. Each river empties into
what is called its "sink" or lake. None
of them get ont of the State or empty
into the sea. This curious fact was
curiously accounted for by a queer old
fellow, who made his home in the
shadow of Mount Davidson. Said he
"rhe way it came about was in this
wise: The Almighty, at the time he
was creatin' and fashionin' this ERE
yearth, got along to this section late
on Saturday evenin'. He had got
through with all the great lakes
Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and
them had made the Ohio, Missouri,
and Mississippi Rivers, and as sort
of wind up, concluded to make riv-
err that would beat anything he had
done i'm that line. He started and
traced out Hum boIds River, an Truck
ee River, an Carson River, an Walker
River, an Reese River, an all the 9TH
er rivers an he was leadid' of 'em
along, calkelatin' to bring 'em all to-
gether into one big boss river, an then
lead that of an let it empty into the
Gulf Of Mexico or the Gull of Cali
fornia, as might be most convenient,
but. as he was bringing down and
along his branches-Trucke
Humboldt, Carson, Walker an them
all at once it came On dark, an not
being able 10 carry out his plan, he
just tucked the lower ends of the sew
eral streams into the ground where
they war, and they've stayed there
ever since"

JOSH BILLINGS. SAYING.

/ never bet on the man who is al
ways telling what he would have done
If he had been there; have aoticed
that this kind never get there.
The fear of the law here, and the
law hereafter, has furnished us some
very clever specimens of Christianity.
Fools don't know their strength; if
they did they would keep still.
True happiness seems TO consist in
wanting all that we can enjoy, then
getting all that we want.
The best way to keep a secret is to

Breaking up q Setting Heu-A Danbury
Mans Experience.

The city man who goes into the
country 10 spend the summer must
make up his mind to learn something
of the routine of rural life. A New
York man who is spending the hot
weather season with family OH Pine

house if he would take a hen off the
nest, a. it wanted to set and she didn't
want it to. Certainly" said he, aud

where the hens were kept to crush out

he stood there and stared at the hen,
and she lifted up her head and stared
at him. winking her eyes with singu-
lar velocity. "Get of, won't you?"
said he, after a pause. She made no
response. He drew out his hand and
looked at a red spot on one of the
knuckles, and then put the knuckle in
his mouth to cool it, looking all the
while at the hen, and wondering how
on earth she moved so quickly. The
longer he eyed her the less inclined he
felt to touch her, and finally ne
climbed up post to beam which
ran over the nest, and working his
way out till he got directly over the
hen, took off his hat and shook it ut
her and advised her to get. But she
only looked up at him with one eye
at a time, and clucked ominously. He
told her if she didn't leave he'd come
down there and kick her through the
barn; but imediately gave up the
design when he reflected
that it was a dumb animal and could
not reason like a human. Then he

VIRGINIA STATESMEN.

The Richmond Wing tries hard to CON-
pliment the Confederate members of its
delegation in Congress. For instance, it
saws:
The Hon. J. Randolph fuckers speech in
opposition to the Hawaiian treaty is spoken of
as ga powerful argument" 1t is pleasant to
know that Virginia is once again represented
by men, as in the days Of yore, capable of
making powerful arguments"
Considering that Mr.. fuckers party was
in a two-third majority in the House, and
the bill he opposed with his powerful ar
gument" was passed by majority of
fifteen, we think the Wing is entitled to
felicitate itself upon the capacity of, at
least, this member of Virginia's delegation
as well as his influence with his party.
Virginisns are not satisfied with any pub
lie man who cannot crate. 1t matters lit
tie about the soundness of his logic or the
subject under discussion Her statesman
SONS are expected to make set speeches.
The Wing adds:
By the way, Bev. Douglas has not yet been
heard from in 8 regular set speech. In debate
we doubt not he would hold his own with any
man in Congress. He has a clear, vigorous
intellect, and is always strong in discussion.
Now, what does the Wing want with
anything more "set" than "Bev's" recent
Personal Explanation" in the House ?
Mr.. Douglas evidently designed it to be,
and thought it was, settler on this jour
nal. But we expect he will oblige the
Wing by his views in ''set" Grafton about
the Fourth of July upon the subject of
'the blessings of liberty to the negroes.
This is his specially.
