THE MONEYLESS MIN.
BY HENRY STANTON.

Is there no place on the face of the earth
Where charity dwelleth where virtue hath birth?
Where bosoms in mercy and kindness will heave,
Ard the poor and the wretched shall ask and re-
ceive?
Is there no place on earth where knock from the
poor
VIII bring kind angel to open the door?
All ! search the wide world wherever you can,
There is no open door for the moneyless man
Go look in your hail. where the chandeliers light
Drives off with its splendor the darkness of night
Where the bright hanging velvet in shadowy fold
Sweeps gracefully down with its trimming of gold
And the mirrors of silver take up and renew
In long-lighted vistas the wildering view;
Go there in your patches and find, if you can,
A welcoming smile for the moneyless man!
Go look in yon church of the coud-reaching spire,
Which gives back to the sun his look of red fire;
Where the arches and columns gorgeous within,
And the walls pure a soul without sin;
Go down the long aisle-see the rich and the great
In the pomp and the pride of their worldly estate ;
Walk down in your patches and find, if you can,
Who opens pew for moneyless man.
Go look to yon Judge, in dark flowing gown,
With the scales wherein law weigheth quietly down
Where he frowns on the weak and smiles on the
strong,
And Furnishes right while he justifes wrong;
Where jurors their lips on the Bible have laid,
To render verdict they've already made;
Go there in the court room and find, ii you can,
ANY law for the cause of a moneyless
Go look in the banks where Mammon has told
His hundreds and thousands of silver and gold;
Where, safe from the hands of the starving and
poor,
Lies pile upon pile of the glittering ore;
Walk up TO the counter-ah, there you may stay
Till your Imps grow old and your hairs turn gray
And you'Ibfnd, at the bank, not one of the clan
With money to lend to a moneyless man.
Then go to your hoveI-no raven has fed
The wife who has suffered so long for her bread
Kneel down by the pallet and kiss the death-frost
From the lips of the angels your poverty lost
Then turn in your agony upward to God
And bless while it smites you the Christening rod,
And you'll find at the end of your life's little span
There's Il lceIcoBle GboUe for the moneyless man.

ASTONISHING TIT4LITY OF Il ID

ASTONISHING TITiLITY OF Il DOG.
About six weeks ago gentleman, who
prided himself ON having one of the best
rabbit dogs in the city, went rabbit
hunting north of the city. The dog
soon struck the trail of game, and made
chase. Contrary to expectation, he
failed to return. Search was made for
him through the whole neighborhood,
but with no success, and the owner of
that dog went home with heavy heart.
About three days ago man passing an
old mineral hole heard noise coming
from the bottom of the shaft. A wind
lass was procured, man went down, and
discovered the living skeleton of dog,
which he kindly brought to the surface.
1t was soon found that the dog belonged
to the Dubuque gentleman, and was
brought to him He he'd lost his good
looks and changed so radically in ap-
pearance that his master had grave
doubts as to his identity, but the dog S

was his dog. When he fell into the
mineral hole he weighed forty-seven
pounds: when he was rescued he
weighed only twenty pounds. He lost
flesh, but gained an appetite, for the
first thing he swallowed was chunk of
bread soaked in whisky. He then took
long sleep. and was furnished with
something more substantial, if not

gain his former sleek look. Neither e

the night it was so black that they
couldn't find their way into the harbor
at all, and the wind it was blowing ferry
hard. And the one says to the other,
Duncan, you must gif a prayer now, o.
we will nefer get into the harbor at all. ,
And Duncan says, L Gamma do it; you
maun do it yourself, Donald. And
Donald he will say, Tam you, Duncan,

that Duncan will stay in the stern of the
boat and he will kneel down, and he
will say, 80, Lord, it iss fifteen years

Suit has been entered in the Circuit
Cdttft Of this fiisttict bs Thomas Big

100000 damages for false imprison-
ment. The plaintiff charges that the de-
fendant Oh the 23d of March, 1874, had
him arrested in the city of Washington

Hospital for the Insane for period of
eight months and further, that the de-
fendant. on the Goth of November, 1874,
compelled the plaintiff to gu under guard

York, and then and there by force COM
pelled him to embark ON board the

treasnres terrified him. but after regain-

treasures terrified him, but, after regain
ing his self-psssession, he and the Indian
made a tour Of exploration. This cave is
about one mile in length, one hundred
and fifty feet in width and seventy feet
high. The interior of this immense
grotto is arched similar to an old Gothic
church, supported by large alabaster-likc
pillars, entwined by heavy golden and
silver wire of the dimensions Of a mans
finger. like the growth Of ivy; and in a
style of grandeur aud naggnticence that
could never be produced by human
hands. These pillars seem to have been
placed in position by a provident nature,
to support the heavy ceilings of the grot-
to incrusted by thousands Of tons of gold
and silver wire and ingots wrought into
the most fantastic shapes. Beside the in
calcuIable treasures, this vast cave con-
tains chambers and domes of the most
grotesque architectural designs, marvel
Gus avenues and little lakes, the latter
alive with fish Of every color of the rain
bow, a gorgeous and indescribable sight
indeed. This all reads like an improba-
bic tale, but Grant vows that his state
menti one Of absolute veracity, from
Alpha to Omega. One of the most un-
accountable features about this cave is
the unnatural light at night, which,
Grant says, is not phosphorescent Che be-
ing somewhat of a scientist), and the I'm
heard-of and impenetrable darkness dur
ing the day.
Grant asserts that there are millions
upon millions of pure gold and silver in
that vault, and he means to share them
with those who have been kind to him ia
by-gone days. He is now en- route for
Louisville, Kentucky, and has with him
several hundred pounds of gold taken
from the cave, to seek out some, of his
old friends, whom he will bring out here
as early as possible. AS his immense
wealth will admit of every description of
extrayagant expenditure, Grant contem-
plates engaging the services of corps Of
the most erudite scientific gentlemen IN
the country to thoroughly investigate the
mystery of light and darkness. These
gentlemen are also to accompany him up
on his return. Our hero says that there
is sufficient gold in sight in his cave to
pay off the debt of every nation in the
world. At present the location Of these
vast treasures and wonders are only
known to Grant and an Indian: but SIS
soon as he receives a United States patent
for the ground, and returns from the East,
he will throw open his cave for inspec-
tiou, which will unquestionably create
amazement throughout the civilized
world. Although this narrative, taken as
a whole, does not bear the closest imprint
of veracity; yet Grant asserts that no
greater truth was ever revealed than his
description Of the cave. He contemplates
returning to Nevada by the first Of Feb
ruary next when more will be made pub
lie OF this mystery.
