A Merry Heart.

I'd rather be poor and merry than
inherit the wealth of the Indies will,
a discontinued spirit. A merry
heart, cheerful spirit, from which
laughter wells up as naturally as
bubble the springs Of Saratoga, are
worth all the money bags, stocks and
mortgages of the city. The man
who laughs is doctor, with diploma
endorsed by the school of Nature
bis face does more good in a sick
room than a pound of powders or q
gallon of bitter draughts. If things
60 right he laughs, because he is
pleased, if they go wrong, he laughs
because it is cheaper and better than
crying. People are always glad to
see him, their hands instinctively 90
half way to meet his grasp, while
they turn involuntarily from the
clammy touch of the dyspeptic, who
speaks on the grooming key. He
laughs you out ofyour faults, while
you never dream of being offended
with him; it seems as if sunshine
came into the room with him. and
you never know what a pleasant
world you are living in until be
points out the sunny streaks on its
pathway. Who can help loving the
whole souled, genial laughter? Not
the buffoon, nor the man who classes
noise with mirth-but the CHEEKY,
contented man Of sense and mind
A good-bumored laugh is the KEY to
all breasts. The truth is that peo-
pie like to be laughed at in a genial
sort of way. If you are making
yourself ridiculous, you want to be
told OF it in a pleasant manner, not
sneered at. And it is astonishing
how frankly the laughing population
can talk without treading IN the SEN
s'tive toes of their neighbors. Why
will the people put on long faces,
when it is so much easier and more
comfortable to laugh? Tears come
to US nnsought and. unbidden. The
wisest art in life is to cultivate
smiles, and to find the flowers where
others shrink away for fear of thorns.

ANTIQUITY OF THE TURKEY.-Tur-
keys were introduced into England
from America by VIM. Strickland,
lieutenant to Sebastian Cabot, in the
time of Henry VII. B. Franklin re-
marked once upon a time that the
wild turkey should have been the
emblem of the United States, the log
cabin of the pioneer being in his day
surrounded by these birds. The
FIRST turkey seen in France was at
the wedding feast of Charles TX, in
1864, at which feast Craddock and
Susan B. Anthony were present.
Since that day turkeys have always
formed the nucleus for wedding
feasts and thanksgiving dinners,
which is about all we know concern
ing the bird, unless we should say
that newspaper men have always
held that a cut from the forward
part of roast turkeys carcass,
smothered in gravy and surrounded
by pound and a half of artificial
intestines, is dish not in the least
detrimental to health, and one which
no newspaper man ever hesitated to
tackle when favorable opportunity
offered.

A "Reminiscences.
A STORY OF THE WAR WITH A SEQUEL.

On the 18th of July, 1861, as the
two armies in Virginia were gather
ing for the first fierce struggle of the
war on the plains of Manassas,
skirmish took place between out
posts on the PENN ula, in which that
gallant young officer of the Confede-
rate service, Lieutenant Colonel
Charles Didier Dreux, of New Or
leans, was instantly killed, being
shot through the body and dying on
the field. He was the first officer
of note to fall in ac.i)n. His re-
mains were at once sent back to
Louisiana. They were laid in state
in the City Hall, and given public
funeral-such ftneral as no other
man in that State has ever been
honored with, for few, if any, had
ever been held higher in the affec-
tons of the people, by all classes of
whom he was worshipped, as he was
not only a trained soldier but bril-
liant orator.
A year before he had married a
charming and accomplished young
lady, just from convent school,
young, beautiful, devoted and of
good family. There was one child
born to this happy couple, whose
honeymoon had scarcely ended be.
fore the young bride was called upon
to buckle the sword upon her gallant
husband and devote him to his
country.
By his death the widow and his
babe were deprived of their support,
but the grateful State adopted the
child, and cared for the mother until
the services of the husband were
forgotten. Years passed; tile "child
of the State" died, and the soldiers
widow married again, but was un-
happy in her second choice, and,
after years of trial, separated
from her husband for sufficient
reasons.
Mrs. D. finding herself in the city
OF San Francisco in destitute circum.
stances, the soldiers widow sought
the odAice of the actor, Mr.. E. A.
Sothern, who had known Col. Dreanx
in New Orleans, accepted position
in his theatrical company and be-
came an actress, having no other
training. This, in brief, is the story
Of the modest and unassuming lady,
who, under the stage name of Dora
Stewart, has been playing for the
past week in the Wilkins company at
our theatre. Mrs. Dreaux is still
young, and very beautiful, has sue
ceeded in mastering the difficulties
OF the profession, and is doing what
so many Southern widows delight in
being able to do if they could only
find the way, earning her own living.
And in her laudable efforts to sup
port herself 10 an honorable calling
by independent exertion, she should
have the sympathy and best wishes
OF all good men and women.-[ Rich.
