IF we mean to support the liberty
and independence which has cost us
so much blood and treasure to estab-
lish, we must drive far away the. de-
mon of party spirit and local re-
proach.- Washington.
Positiveness is good quality for
preachers and orators, because who
ever would obtrude his thoughts and
reasons upon multitude, will con
vince others the more as he appears
convinced himself.-.Saoiff.
The only true source Of politeness
is consideration-that vigllant moral
sense which never loses sight of the
rights, the claims, and the sensibil-
tiles of others. This is the one quail
ity, over all others, necessary to make
a gentleman.-.Simms.
Love is a secondary passion to
those who love most, a primary in
those who love least. He who is in
'pired by it in a high degree is in
splred by honor IN higher; it never
reaches its plentitude of growth and
perfection but in the most exalted
minds.-Laudor.
Two things, well considered, would
prevent many quarrels: first, to have
it well ascerlained whether we are
not disputing about terms, rather than
things; and, secondly, to examine
whether that on which we differ is
worth contending about Cohon.
We will not punish a man because
he hath offended, but that he may
offend no more; nor does punishment
ever look to the past, but to the future;
for it is not the result of passion, but
that The same thing may be guarded
against in time to comc,-lSenecd.

The wisdom of nations lies in their
proverbs, which are brief and pithv.
Collect and learn them; they are no
table measures and directions for
human life; you have much in little;
they save time in speaking; and upon

answers William Penn.
As Plato entertained some friends
in room where there was a couch
richly ornamented, Diogenes came
in very dirty, as usual. and getting
upon the couch, and trampling on it,
said, 81 trample upon the pride of
Plato" Plato mildly answered, But
with greater pride, Diogenes!"-

! Few things in this world trouble
people more than poverty, or the fear
of poverty; and indeed it is a sore
intiiction; but, Ike all other ills that
flesh is heir to, it has its antidote, its
reliable remedy. The judicious ap-
plication of industry, prudence and
temperance is a certain cure.-Hose'i

The invention Of printing added q

From that hour, in most special
sense, the BRAIN and not the arm, the
thinker and not the soldier. books
and not kings, were to rule the world;
and weapons forged in the mind,
keen-edged and brighter than the
sunbeam, were to supplant the sword
and the battle-axe.- Wh'pple.

A Military Requisition.

ordered into the marsh where Gen
Gilmore was going to plant the
"swamp angel" whose messages flew
SO unpleasantly into Charleston, said
that he "couldn't do 1.-THE mud was
too deep" Col. Sorrel ordered him
to try. He did so, and the lieutenant
returned with his men covered with
mud, and said:
"Colonel, the mud is over my mems

Starved to Death.

The New Haven Journal of recent
date says: "A strange and painful
fate was Policeman John Bcnson's,
who died ut Norwich, at the ago of
sixty-cight. For three months he
had suffered from cancer on the
tongue-possibly the result of too
much smoking. For two months
past the tongue had been so swollen
and sore as to absolutely prevent all
eating, and the sufferer was kept
alive by semi-liquid food, given by
means of a tube. During the past
ten or twelve days 1t was almost i'm
possible even to intro luce the tube,
so bad had the cancer grown; and
for four or five days before his death
the poor man was literally starving
to death. The immediate cause of
death was pronounced to be starva-
ton. His relatives and friends, aware
of the fate which was coming to him,
stood powerless to avert it. Thous-
ands will remember Mr.. Benson as
the excellent and efficient manager of
the police every summer at the great
Willimantic camp-meetings."

Death Befo o Surrender.

Two brothers, Thomas and Melvin
March, had bitter quarrel at Charlie
mont, ass, the other day, during
which Melvin threatened Thomas
life. The latter procured warrant
for MeIvin's arrest, and Deputy
Sheriff Gould attempted to serve it,
but Melvin threatened to shoot. The
Sheriff went for aid, when Melvin
deliberately burned the Sheriff s
Darn, and then fled to the mountains.
A large posse started in pursuit, and
after long and exciting chase came
up with him. He threatened death
% any one who approached him, but,
seeing that no less than seven rifles
covered him, he shot himself in the
breast and fell mortally wounded.

BUILDING ON THE SAND.

'Tis well to WOO, tits well to wed,
For so the wor Id hath done
Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have care. ye young and fair,
Be sure We pledge with truth;
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days Of youth!
For II you give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the unwise part,
And built upon the sand"
'Tis well to save, tits we'll to have
goodly store Of gold,
And hold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cold
But place not all your hope ana trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with p"rer things,
And he who piles up wealth alene
Will often have to stand
Beside his Golfer chest. and own
'Tis built upon the sand"
'Tis good to speak in kindly guise
And soothe where'er We can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind,
And love link man to man.
But stop not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with anguish dwell;
The one who pties starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as well;
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend a helping hand,
For those that talk yet fail to do.
But build upon the sand

names of the members Of the proposed
organization Among others may be
mentioned F. st. John and Deutcber,

Car.hy is plumber and gas litter, who
can make as many home runs as any
body, and Harry Henderson, Of New
York, ia not entirely ignorant of the
finger breaking art. Charles Bailey,
who was once Captain of the Socials,
has returned home from the East, and is
as good player as ever Albert Skin

of the game. Skinner has played with
the Actives Of San Francisco. Z. J.

counted upon as "good one" Andy
O'Brien. player from San Francisco,
and Burke, from this place, would be
credit to any club. E. Randall, an old
Comstock player, and formerly men,
Der of the Blue Stars, will take up the
bat this Summer and expects to keep up
bis lick. Harry Connors, who was known
as the best catcher IN the State, died last
winter; and Barry, another good player,
has gone to the Bay. Enough remains,
however, to get up nine, and the Boys
of the Valley" must do better than ever
before if thry get away with the cham

BALDWIN of tho Virginia City Consta-

his habits still continue exemplary is at
tested in the fact that at 4 o'clock P. ~,

o'clock in the afternoon. Mr.. Baldwin

in mind and body. This is very welcome
news to many n dweller in the sage

tions.
A Herald Washington special says that

pect the Democratic House to pass his
