Hiram did not want to say goodnight.
Whether he slept or said his prayers
that night is not recorded, but it is an
established fact that eight o'clock the
next evening found him in Deacon
Bates parlor. The interview was a long
and probably interesting one, and its
immediate result was that before Thanks

San Francisco had lively sensation,
the other day, in which wild steer was
the leading actor. 1t broke out of COR
raj near the wharves and rushed up
town, closely pursued by vaquero. who,
though he threw a lariat about its horns,
found his horse too weak to hold it. The
animal charged through store, creating
a general stampede, tossed a man who
was unlucky enough to get in its way,
and was shot at several times by po-
liceman. Another man then attempted
to stop it by shooting at it, but was
charged upon and pinned to horse for
his pains, though fortunately he manag-
ed to get between the animals horns
and was not much hurt. A woman, two
men and a little girl were then tossed.
at which point the policeman again came
up and fired six one-ounce balls against
the creatures head, though without
much injury, as the balls rebounded as
from solid rock. The animal then rush.
ed upon his opponent, trampled him un'
der foot, gored horse which had pur.
sued it and tossed the rider over lamp
post. Again rushing away it tossed sew,
eral other persons, but was finally bro't
down by well-aimed shot. The animal;
body was found to contain over so bull
lets, which had been fired at it by vari-
rious persons.

DULL BoYs.-Don't be discouraged.
Slow growth is often sure growth. Some
minds are like Norwegian pines. They
are slow in growth, but they are striking
their roots deep. Some of the greatest
men have been dull boys. Dryden and
Swift were dull as boys. So was Gold
smith. So was Gibbon. So was Sir Wal
ter Scott. Napoleon at school had so
much difficulty in learning his Latin
that the master said it would need
glmlet to get word into his head.
Douglas Jerrold was SO backward in his
boyhood that at nine he was scarcely
able to read. Isaac Barrow, one Of the
greatest divines the Church of England
has ever produced, was so impenetrably
stupid in his early years, that his father
more than once SAID that, if God took
away any of his children, he hoped it
would be Isaac, as he feared he would
never be fit for any thing In this world.
Yet that boy was the genius of the fam
ily.

MORE PIoUs THAN HoNEsT-Up in
New Hampshire, where | used to live
when boy tsays Gov. Noyes,) there
was an old deacon who was great deal
more pious than honest. He was an
old hypocrire, and when he had done a
particularly mean thing he eased his
concience by going out into field, along
one side of which was stone wall, and
kneeling beside it praying the Lord to
topple it over on him if he had done
anything offensive to him or wrong in
his sight. Well, we boys found it out,
and one day when we saw the deacon
making for the stone wall, we got on
the other side and waited. He knelt
down according to his usual custom. and
went through his usual formula, closing
with the usual petition to have the wal
toppled over if he had done anything
wrong. And we toppled it. jumping
out from under the stones, the old MAI
cried out in tones of mingled disgust ant
alarm ''Good gracious can't you tel
when man is joking ?"

holds, carrying humanizing and civiliz-
ing effects which can hardly be estimat-
ed. From Colonel Drake, the solitary
operator of 1859, with his single assist
ant, the number receiving employment
from drilling has increased to 1000
men, while those who derive support
from pumping, refining and transporting
petroleum, together with the mechanics,
statesmen and clerks employed in various
dependent industries, and among whom
may be included machinists and manu-
facturers of barrels, boilers, drilling
tools, chemicals, glue, lamps and the
like, would form a larger army than won
for us American independence.

THE WIT OF Winks, for his
part, after an hour or so of it, got bored
with the levity of the conversation, and
rustled about so that he was put out of
the carriage, to run for the benefit of
his health. He went along for mile
pleased enough, gathering dust in clouds
about him. But when he intimated a
desire to be taken in, the boys, hard
hearted beings laughed in the face of
Winks. "A run will do you good, old
fellow" said Dick, with cruel satisfac-
tion. A short time afterward, | am sor-
ry to say, dreadful accident, nature
unknown, happened to Winks. He ut
tered a heart rending shrek, and ap-
peared Immediately after, making his
way toward the carriage, holding up one
feathery paw in demonstrative suffering.
The anxious party stopped Immediately,
and Winks made his way towards them,
labOriOusly limping, and uttering pain
full cries. But when, all adjust as he
was, this hypocrite was lifted into the
carriage, holding up the injured men,
Der, and was laid upon the softest'cush-
ion to have it examined, words fail me
to express the sardonic grin with which
he showed his milkwhite teeth. There
was no more the matter with the little
villains paw than with yours or mine.

THE CosT OF EURoPE's STANDING AR
MESA short essay, entitled The Qetes-
tion of Money, has recently appeared in
Paris from the pen of nj. de Girardin,
in which 1t is made to appear that all
existing Governments. excepting those
of England and America, are fast has
tening to bankrupt condition. This is
caused mainly BY the elaborate armies
and fleets which mutual suspicion COM
pels all the powers of Europe to main

ments of their neighbors. The result is
that Europe is one vast camp, the SOL
diers of England, France, Germany, It.

Governments about $780, 100000 annu-
ally. England's army of 100000 men
costs $53,256,160; Frances 100000
men, Sl12.913. .298; ,Russia's $4,000
men, SI37 ,O34.925 Germany's $4,000

$37,176,O66, and Austria's $4,000
men, $47,705,s14. The support of the
various nayies also costs $l35, 100000
year, of which England expends $780,
100000; France $35, 100000; Russia
S24, 100000; Germany and Italy, ST.
100000 each, and Austria $5,000,000.
M. de Girardin concludes from the esti-
mate of naval expenses that the danger
of universal insolvency will never be re-
moved until rulers shall cease to prose-
cute their search for an armament which
no projectile can pierce and projectile
which no armament can withstand.

When klinge. klinge, klingle.
Far down the dusty dinge,
The cows are coming home;
Now sweet and clear. and faint and low,
The airy tinkngs come and 60,
Like chimings from the far-off tower.
Or patterings Of an April shower
That makes the daisies grow;
Ko-ling, ko-lang, kolinglelingle,
Far down the darkening dinge,
The cows come slowly home.
And old-time friends, and twus-' Piays'
And starry nights - sunny oays'
Coma trc- r.sng up the misty ways,
When the cows come home.
With jingle, jangle, jingle,
Soft stones that sweety mingle,
The cows are coming home;
Malvina and Pearl and Rlorime,
DeKamp. Red Rose and Gretchen ScheII.
Queen Bess and sylph. and spangled Sue.
AcrUss the fields hear her ''loO-oo"
And clang her silver bell;
Go-ling. golang. golingledingle,
With faint. far sounds that mingle,
The COWS come slowly home.
And mother songs of lOng-gone years.
And baby,joys and childish fears,
And youthful hopes and youthful tears,
When the cows come home.
With ringle, rangle ringe.
By twos and threes and single,
The cows are coming home;
Through violet air we see the town,
And the summer sun a-slpping down,
And the maple in the hazel glade
Throws down the path a longer shade,
And the hills are growing brown;
To-ring, to-rang. tOringlerangle,
By threes and fours and single,
The cows come slowly home.
The same sweet sound OF worldless psalm,
The same sweet June day rest and calm,
The same sweet smell of buds and balm,
When the cows come home.
With tinkle tankle. tinkle
Through fern and periwinkle,
The cows are coming home;
A-loitering in the checkered stream,
Where the sun-rays glance and CLEAN.
Clarine, Peachbloon and Phebe Phillis
Stand knee-deep in the creamy hllies.
In a drowsy dream;
To-link to-ank, tollnklehnkle,
Ger banks with buttercups a-twinkle,
The cows come slowly home.
And up through memory's deep ravine.
Come the brooks old song and its old.time sheen,
And the crescent OF the silver Queen,
When the cows come home.
With klingle, klangle, klingle,
With loo-oo and moo-oo, and jingle,
| The cows are coming home;
And over there on Merlin Hill
Sounds the plaintive cry of the whip-poOr-will,
And the dewdrOps lie on the tangled vines,
And over the poplars Venus shines,

Ko-ling, ko-lang, koliugleTngle,
With ting-a-lng and jingle.

Let down the bars; let in the train

For dear old times come back again

AMERICAN PRosPERITY.-The progress
of manufactures in this country has been
rapid of late years. First our brown
cottons competed with those of Europe
in the worlds markets, and next our
printed calicos and other low priced cot
tons. As soon as manufactures come
near this point Importation ceases, as
foreign goods cannot pay our duties.
Next tweeds, blankets, and the lower
priced wollen goods superseded lmporta-
tfons, and carpets are near the same
point. Linen and silk manufactures
have been longer in taking root among
US, but the latter is on the way. Our
edge tools and agricultural machines and
implements have long defied competition.
Our sewing machines and printing press
es have carried all before them, and now
it is ascertained that the same triumph
attends our machine-made watches. The
influence of these successes in the new
world has disastrous on the old.
The cotton trade, the wollen trade, the
iron and hardware trade have lost their
best customer. Switzerland is in mourn
ing because America no longer needs
her watches, and Lyons is in distress
because our purchases of silk have fallen
off. Decreased importations on our part
of course cause diminished commerce,
and that depresses the shipping interest.
which, unless balanced from some other
sources, viii ere long embarrass our
Government; and what is most remark
able of all is, that whilst our increasing
