a Man who turns Copper into Sold.
A gentleman residing in this city, who is
in close correspondence with relatives in
Santiago, the capital of the republic of Chill,
states that Paraf has maintained himself,
despite the opposition brought against him.
He has now three establishments in opcr
alton, and is producing wonderful results.
He has organized n company with q capital
of 49, 900, 900, and the people are absolutely
crazy to procure stock; copper-minCs that
We're formerly comparatively valueless are
now held ut eNorbitant figures, and pros
pecting is active in every direction. One of
the instances of Paraf's essays is interest
ing. A ton of copper ore from the CaraColtS
district was submitted to several of the WELL
known assayers in the presence of u number
of citizens, Paraf also being present. The
assayers announced the result-they had
obtained four and n half per cent of gold.
Thcreupon Paraf suggested that there must
be more of the precious metal in the ore,
but the assayers were prevented finding it
on account of its being hidden by the cop.
per. He produced the chemical powder
which he calls "reactive," and this was sub.
mitted to those present, and in its turn
analysed, without detecting the presence
of gold. Scattering this over the pulveriz.
ed mass, and allowing about half IN hour
for manipulation in order to thorough in.
corporation with it, he asked the mctallur-
gists to reassay the ore, when the astonish.
ing result of thirty-seven and u halt per
cent vas reached. Faraf is reported to he

People should not hide their lights under

remark which drew Down the greatest ap-
pause and laughter. He believed in prin

A Kentucky preacher rose to
speak and opened the bible. The
first verse that met his eyes, hap
pened to be, "The voice Of the
turtle shall be heard in the land.
"Brethering," said he, "at first
sight one would not think there
was much in the text; but on a
little consideration you will see
there's a great deal in it. Now,
you all know what turtle is.
If you have been along by pond,
you have seen them or q log sun
ming themselves. Now, it is said,
The voice of the turtle shall be
heard in the land But the turtle
hasn't any voice, that anybody
ever heard, so it must be the voice
he makes in plunging off the log
into the water. Hence, we con-
clude that immersion is meant,
and that immersion will become
universal"

POOR GBNRTIBVE.

Shortly after the conclusion OF
the late war, a gentleman, dis.
tinguished as a scholar and a
politician: was proceeding up the
Mississippi. During the trip he
became indisposed, and finally so
i'll that, at bis own request, he
was put on shore at one of those
little old French villages between
the mouth of the Ohio and St.
Louis. The agitation Of removal
and the heat Of a summer day so
aggravated his disease, which was
bilious fever, that he became de-
lirious, and for time he knew
nothing Of what transpired:
His returning consciousness dis
closed to him a female, with cap
such as French attendants gen
orally wear, o plain gown, and a
black silk apron, with a sweet
gentle and expressive face, ap-
parently bearing the impression
of deep solicitude. Perceiving
him to be awake, she inquired, in
voice Of exquisite melody, if he
wanted anything. Instead of an
swering the question, the sick
man, whom | shall! call Hartland,
though that was not his real name,
asked two or three others, in a
low, feeble tone.
"Where am land who are
you?"
"You are in St., and [ am
poor Genevieve, your servant
can I do anything for you, sir? ?"
"Oh, q nurse, they have pro-
vided for me, L suppose" thought
Hartland, II shall, therefore, stand
on no ceremony with her. Ny
good girl, l will thank you for a
glass of something to quench my
thirst-I am burning up, l be-
lieve."
Genevieve took his hand, and,
after holding it a little while, laid
it softly down on his head, saying,
as if to herself, 'It does indeed
burn like fire." The touch Of her
hand was so soft that Hartland
could tell that she pitied him with
all her heart. At this moment
his physician came, and our trav-
eler recognized in him an old &C.
quaintance, a senator whom be
had known at Washington, and a
very eminent man in his pro
fession. He felt extremely CRATE
| ful at having so gentle nurse
and so able physician. Yet his
recovery was so slow that it did
no great credit to either nurse or
doctor, for it was nearly six weeks
before his fever was fairly broken.
One day while the doctor was
With him, it suddenly occurred to
Hartland to inquire where he
was, how he came there, and,
more especially, to whose kind
ness he was indebted fo"such be-
nevolent attentions.

BREAD UPON THE WATERS.

Mid the losses and the gains,
Mid the pleasures and the pains,
And the hopings and the fears,
And the restlessness of years,
We repeat this promise Ger
We believe it more and more
Bread upon the water cast
Shall be gathered at the last.
Gold and silver, like the sands,
Will keep slipping through our hands;
Jewels cleaning like spark,
Will be hidden in the dark;
Sun and moon and stars will pale,
But these words will never fail
Bread upon the water cast
Shall be gathered at the last.
Soon like dust, to you and me,
VIII our earthly treasures be;
But the loving word and deed
To another in his need
They will unforgotten be!
They will live eternally-
Bread upon the water caat
Shall be gathered at the last.
Fast the moments slip away,
Soon our mortal powers decay,
Low and lower sinks the sun,
What We do must soon be done;
Then what rapture, if we hear
Thousand voices ringing clear
Bread upon the water cast
Shall be gathered at the last.

1T WAS ALIVE.

He was rather an uncouth look
ing individual, and as he sauntered
into the store the crowd sitting
on the barrels winked at each
other and made remarks about his
person.
"Where did it come from ?''
asked one, pointing at him.
"Somebody left the door open
and it blew in," said another.
Il don't think it's alive" said
a third.
"Touch it and see," remarked a
fourth.

queried the first. All hands laughed
boisterously.
"I'm poor man, and I don't
want to have any trouble with
anybody. I'm Christian, and !
don't believe in turmoil and strife
and can't participate in it. l pray
you, worldly minded people, that
you will allow me to depart in
peace" said the now arrival.
One Of the crowd, more daring
than the rest, hammered the
mans hat down over bis eyes,
and another dabbed his nose full
Of molasses from a barrel standing
by.
Then the poor Christian took a
volume from his pocket and began
reading the Scriptures in a drawl-
ing, sing-song tone.
While he was engaged at this
the crowd played all sorts of tricks
on him.
One put some eggs in his pocket
and another mashed them.
Then the biggest man in the
house poured some oil on his hat
and lighted it.
Then the clerk hit him under
the nose with a Goldfish.
Then that man quietly put the
little volume in his coat tail
| pocket, and the clerk went head
first into the molasses barrel.
When the biggest: in the
house picked himself from under
the counter it was next to an i'm
possibility to guess where his nose
left off and where the Goldfish be-
gan. No. 1 made work for the
glazier as be hit a 7entilator in
the window. No. 2 hatched ont
half a barrel Of eggs, and No. 8
got up on the pie shelf and stayed
| there. AS No. 4 walked out of the
door on his back be wondered
how much it would cost to make
him as good as new, and the poor
Christian man remarked
"The next time you folks pick
me up for a slouch look out you
amt in the wrong pew. Good
day, fellers."
The clerk is waiting for them
to come round and settle for dam
age done, but they must have for
gotten where the place is as they
pass right by without looking in
and their bills remain unpaid.
