THE YOUNG MAN OF MEANS.

I arrived in New York u few days ago.
and Immediately took rooms at Astor
House. L have always made it q rule to get
the best dt,everything, even if / am obliged
to get trusted for it. l hadn't been ut the
Astor House but one day when the clerk
brought me my bill.
us it customary said I, "to pay the
first day."

piled.
"What kind Of a stamp do you take the
for ?' said I.
".You look like a two-cent stamp he re-
piled, very insultihgly. "You either pay
this bill or get out. Have you got any
money :" said he.

piled, ''you nave probably heard of DR..

HOW TO BE MAN.

When Carlysle was asked by a young
person TO point out what course of reading
he thought best to make him a man, replied,
in his characteristic manner. The letter is
too long, we quote the concluding para
graph: TN conclusion, 4 will remind you
that it is not books alone, or by books chief
", Goes a man become in all points a man.
Study to do faithfnlly whatsoever thing in
your acthal situation, then and now, you
find either expressly or tacitly laid down to
your cllarge-that is your post, and stand
in it like a true soldier. Silently devour the
many chagrins OF it, as all situations have
many, and see you aira not to quit it with
out doing all that it, at least, required of
you. A man perfects himself by work
much more than by reading. There are a
growing kind of men that can wisely COM
binc the two things; wisely, valiantly, can
do what is laid to their hand in the present
sphere, and prepare themselves withal fol

H GREEK WIFE.

The affection of IL Greek wife for her hus-

he mounted his seat and drove away, the

or, strength, power of concentration and
direction.
Plainly, then the mar who exercises his
mind in reading and thinking gives it in
creased power and efficiency, aud greater
ability to direct the efforts of his physical
frame-he works-to better results than hs
can who merely or mainly uses bis muscles.
If Il man read Il book Or paper, even oDe he
knows to be erroneous. it helps him by the
efforts to combat the errors. The combat
invigorates his mind.
Of all men. the farmer, the cultivator,
needs to read more to strengthen his rea-
soning powers, SO that they may help out
and make more effective, more profitable,
his hard toll. There cahibe no doubt that
that farmer who supplies himself with the
most reading-the most OF other mems
thoughts and experiences will iii the end, II
not at once, be'tie most successful.

couNrRY LIFE AND CITY LIFE

It is a good sign that the public taste Tor
4 rural homes is rapidly advancing, and the
\ r;eh and varied charms of the country are
hecinning to draw many thoughtful and
4 wealthy men to the enjoyments OF rural
\ life. The excessive passion for city life and
the ambition, tor easier lives and more gen
D tie employments has brought ruin to multi
4 tudes and financial disaster to the nation.
The growing'tendency to depreciate coun-

nate tendencies of our age. In the country

have no sympathy with an article in one OF
our popular montlllies. in which the writer
SAYS: II can pick out the farmers and their

graceful" After reading that article |
thought of a storm on Cape Coda storm
that stripped the groves anGumade sad hav-

farmers boys will breast a thousand storms
any one of which will strip your tender city

CONVERSATION.

NO one ia fit Tor conversation-in any
genial sense-wlo is not willing to please
neigl,bor. If he only wants to show his
own wit, or to ventilate his own ideas, he
doesn't even understand what conversation
means. and has certainly never experienced
its charms. The best conversationalists |
know are all kind hearted men; men of
cheerful countenances and coneiliatory man
ncrs nor do l blame them if, when the adj
vances are met with GOODNESS or antagonism,
they have, most of them, a rough side to
their tongues. 1t is their misfortune that
their sharp sayings under such circumstaa,-
ces are quoted, while their general agreea-
bilities is of purse incapable of being rep
resented. 1t Isl their habit, in the first place
at all events, Ito endeavor to sympatliize
with theirneighbors ;and if he knows himself
conte,nptuous or careless of such courtesy
it is only right that he should bestaught
better manners, in a way suitable to the
thickness of his skin.
An ametuer actress once complimented
an a%inetuer actor in my hearing upon his
dramatic talents: "You are never so natu-
raj Mr.A.," she said, las when you are on
the stage"
"And you, Lady B., are never so much
an actress" he rejoined, ''as when you are
off it," Which, though rude, was perfect
ly true.
Society is growing more ana more STACEY
and artificial daily, but especially the female
portion of it. Those who talk, talk for eff
feet; and the rest a%ttitudinize. 1t is quite
marvellous how few women are left in the
world-and not many men--who venture to
be natural. Yet it is the most charming o.
all styles of talk, and certainly the easiest
since it has neither to be acquired nor as
sumed. 1T may, indeed, be urged, tina
when people are by nature di>agrecable. i
is to theIpublic advantage that they shoule
not he natural in their manners. Let u
take it 'for granted, then, in future, tina
when folks are artificial, they have some
thing to hide which would otherwise dis
grace them. Naturalness will then be TIN
touchs,onc of character. as it is the key
stone of all human intercourse.

MORNING APPEAL
BODIE BULLION.

Yesterdays Bodie stage brought up five
bars of bullion, three from the Bodie mine,
one from the Standard and one low grade bar
from some outside mine. The Bodie bars
aggregated Sal 800 Ia, making the total ship
ments for the month S164, $50 40. The
Standard bar was worth S1S, 947 Sc, making
the shipments for the month from this mine
$83,860 SO. All of which is not bad for a
camp the bottom of which "has dropped out. "
The BOdie mine carried over a surplus of
$4,000 last month, after paying 800, 900
or 50 per share in one months dividend.
This month a So dividend was paid on the
14th instant, leaving $4,000 in the treasury
exclusive of this months yield. There may
be "horse" in the Burgess ledge, or band
of mustangs in the Bruce, but the stockhold-
ers of the Bodie thus far have no reason to
complain.

FROM BODIE.

| Our friend Mr. Fred Rathbone returned
from Bodie yesterday, at which place he has
been soiourning for the past month or 50
looking at the situation. He says there is a
constant influx of new people to the camp
from all parts of the country, but that great
many are idle, owing to the fact that it only
r;quires comparative sn all force to work
| the mines there. Speaking of the business
houses, all classes, are Going an excellent
business Mr. Rathbone spoke especially of
our townsman, John Wagner, who is conduct
ing a large liquor house and is just minting
money Much building Is being done, and
more of it would be undertaken were it not
for the great scarcity of lumber. Of the hotel
accommodations nothing very complimentary
can be SAID. 1t is the most difficult thing in
the world to get bed, and as for provisions
the less said the better. But, then, Fred al
ways was an epicure. The camp is full of
Carson people, some doing well and others
not. Of the temperature he says that it may
be ever so hot in the day, in midsummer, at
night, it will commence to freeze AS soon as
VIC sun disappears pSAllAtu tILC HILL N'ul III

other development similar to that of the

articles OF value, was brought up before

ST. 900, which he was unable to furnish The
State witnesses, VINO are well known citizens,

comes off at the next term of the District
Court. Wilson is rather an intelligent look

has been confined in the Jail for petty larceny.
His reputation there, so far as we can learn
WAS at no time very enViable.
