The PoT OF COMA cobbler in Somer-
setshire dreamed that person told him that
| if he would go to London bridge he would
| meet with something TO his advantage. He
| dreamed the same the next night, and again
| the night after. IIO then determined to go
to London bridge, and walked thither accord
ingly. When arrived there, he walked about
the whole of the first day without anything
occurring; the next day was passed in "A sim
liar manner. He resumed his place the third
day, and walked about till evening, when,
giving it up as hopeless, he determined to
leave London and return home. At this mo-
ment a stranger came up and said to him: 4
have seen you for the last three days walking
up and down this BRIDGE may ask if you
are waiting for any oneY The answer was,
'Non Then what is your object in staying
here ? The cobbler then frankly told his rea-
son for being there and the dream that had
visited him for three successive nights The
stranger then advised him to go home again
to his work, and pay no more attention to
dreams. 4 myself he said, had, about six
months ago, dream. l dreamed three nights
together that, if would go into Somerset
shire, in an orchard, under an apple-tree, l
should find pot of gold but paid no at
tenton to my dream and have remained qui-
etly at my business 1t Immediately occur
red to the cobbler that the stranger described
his own orchard and his own apple-tree. He
Immediately returned home dug under the
apple-tree and found a pot of gold. After
this increase of fortune he was enabled to
send his son to school, where the boy learn
ed Latin. When he came home for the hOli-
days, he one day examined the pot which had
contained the gold, on which was some writ
ing. He said, Father, can show you that
what have learned at school is of some use.'
He then translated the Latin Inscription on
the pot thus Look under, and you will find
better. They did look under, and large
quantity of gold was found" As the story is
good one, it would be pleasant to fancy that
it could possibly be true.-Saturddy ReUieiO.

NEWSPAPER WT.-There is much genuine
wit floating in the newspapers, and much that
is bogus to the last degree. When the Cam
den Post says "a mans character is like a
fence-you cannot strengthen it by white
wash,' it gives a genuine epgram. Quite as
felicitous, too, is Otis in the Cincinnati Break
fast Table "a tack points heayenward when
it means the most mischief; it has many hu-
man imitators." A bright turn TO a familiar
quotation is given by the Biddeford Minia-
ture, thus: II am thy fathers spirit as the
pint flask said to the inquisitive urchin who
had been investigating the cupboard" Mr..
Talmage having claimed that hell has four
gates, the Buffalo Express hopes they open
outward, so Us to give egress in case of fire.
The Hackensack Republican said last fall
The leaves of trees like summer boarders
with bills unpaid, take their departure, leay-
ing their trunks behind them" The follow
ing is from the English "At dinner the
host introduces 10 the favorable notice of the
company a splendid trufied pheasant amid
murmurs of admiration. Isn't it a beauty ?
he says, DIR. So-and-so gave it to me-killed
it himself Aw, what was he treating il forp
says one of the guests" This bears evidence
of origin in the New York World "a thorn
in the bush is worth dozen in the hand"

Miscellany.


Some time since the Mobile News offered a
prize for the poem which, by southern wri-
ter, should be Judged most mcritorious, ex-
prcssive of the gratitude which existed in the
southern heart toward the people of the
North for the philanthropy and magnanimity
so freely and nobly displayed in the time OF
the dire aflliction of the South by pestilence
This offer on the part Of the News called
forth - competitive compositions from vari-
ous parts of the country. The committee to
whom the manuscripts were submitted decid-
I'd iii favor of the poem entitled Conquered
at Last by Miss Maria L. Eve Of Augusta,
Ga, which is here given;
You came to us once o brothers, in wrath,
And rude dusolation followed your path.
You conquered us then but only in part
For stubborn thing is the human heart
So the mad wind blows in his might and main,
And the forest bends to his breath like grain,
Their heads in the dust and their branches broke
But how shall he soften their hearts of OAK ?
You swept DER our land like the whrlwiud's wing,
But the human heart is a stubborn thing.
We lliI down oar arms we yielded our will,
But our heart of hearts was uucunquorod still.
'We are yauquished,' we said, "but wounds must
hoal;'
We gave you swords, but our hearts were steel.
ave are conquered" we said, but our hearts were
And "woc to the conquered" ou every door.
Bnt the spolcr came and he would not spare,
Ihe angel that walkoth i'll darkness WAS there;
H. walked thro' the valley walked thro' the street,
Ana be- left the print OF his fiery feet
In the dead, dead, dead that were everywhere,
ana buried away with never prayer.
From the desolatc land from it- very heart.
There went forth cry to the utt"rmost part.
You heard it, o b'othcrsl with never a mclsur,
lpu opened your hearts and poured out your treasure
q Sisters OF Mercy! you gave above these,
FuG You helped We know. ON your bcudrd knees!
Ilur pity was human, hut oh! 1t was more
Nhcn yuu shared oar cross aul our burdens bore.
Your lives in your hands, you stood by our side;
Your lives for uur lives yen laid down aud died;
Aud no greater love bath man to give
Ihau lay down his life that lis friends may live.
You poured in our wounds the oil and the wine
That you brought to u from Hand Divine.
lnu conquered us, brothers: our swords We gave;
W. yield now our hearts-thry are all ~ have.
Our last ditch there. and it held out long:
II Is yours, friends, and you'il hud i strong.
Your love had a magic diyiucr than art
Aud Conquered by kindness wen write ON uur
hear.

ONLY A STocKHoLDER. .-Apropos of the as
founding defalcations which were committed
in Fall River several months ago, by which
many prominent business men and stockhold-
ers in extensive corporations were ruined, a
little incident is reported to have occurred in
this city recently which intelligently points
out the difference in the positions of stock
holders and grasping officials. Two ragged
and dirty street Arabs were standing in front
of n cigar store in which were displayed a va
riety of pipes, cigars and tobacco. Now
these gamins had learned to smoke with the
assurance and dignity of veterans and one of
them felt desire to invest cent or two in
purchasing a pipe and tobacco. He turned
his pockets inside out, but could not find a
single copper Looking sadly at his compan-
ion, he said, Paddy, if had another cint /
would buy pipe and some tobacco" The
other At once made a vigorous search through
his pockets and finally triumphantly drew
out the desired penny. He handed it TO his
companion who lost no time in entering the
store, purchased a clay pipe and sufficient
tobacco to fill it, and joined his companion.
They walked along the streets for several
minutes, Paddy ever and anon casting his
eyes ON the pipe which his friend held firmly

We have found no boys composition OF

showing that where there is real, irrepressi-

mere knack of spelling -

The San Francisco Call says that the turf
editor of the New York Herald having been
recently assigned to write up" n concert of
the Philharmonic Club, produced the follow
ing: Time was called at exactly eight o'clock,
and as near as We could Judge about sixty
fiddles, flies and bugles entered for the con-
test. The tddles won the toss and took the
inside, with the chandelier right in their eyes
The umpire with small club, also acted as
starter. The timer was not in sight and
when we asked for the bottle-holder We were
told he was chalking it up at Thie's. just be-
fore the start the umpire stood upon a cheese
box, with IA small lunch counter in front of
him. and shook his stick at the entries to keep
them down. He continued to play the single
stick with himself during the entire night, but
not one of the contestants looked Mt him.
They first socked it to 'Landlche Hochzeitt,"
by Goldmark, out of Op. 2G. They got off
nearly even, one of the sorrel fddles gently
leading. The man with the French horn
tried to call them back, but they settled down
to work at slogging gait, with the big roam
fiddle bringing up the rear At the first quar-
ter the little black whistle broke badly and
went into the air, but the fddles on the left
kept well together and struck up a rattling
gait. At the half pole there was big change,
and the man with the strnight horn showed
signs of fatigue. He evidently had got the
cross buttock in the first round. There was
little bob-tail flute that wrestled sadly with
the sorrel bugle at the half-mile, but he was
wind-broken and wheezed, while the big roam
fiddle threw a shoe on the back stretch The
galoot with the big fat bugle kept halloaing
whoa" all the time, but he seemed to keep
up with the rest until the end of the race.
They all came under the string in good order,
but the judge ON the cheese-box seemed to re-
serve his decision. He seemed tired, and the
riders all went out to find their bottle holders
and to get weighed for the handicap in the
Beethoven race. 1t was a nice exhibition,
and for a rainy night, when there is no spar
ring at Harry Hills or cock fighting in Ho-
boken, the Philharmonic may be good
thing. It's little tiresome to the observer,
and must be hard on the big roam fiddle. All
bets are of

Postal NOVELTIES. The Postmaster Cen
eral, by an act of the last Congress, is author
lied but not required TO offer to the public
some novelties in the way of postal stationary
Among them are the double postal card, and
the double envelope, and the envelope letter
sheet. The two former are intended to pro-
vide for sending an answer to message or let
ter upon the same card or under the same en-
velope The double postal card will be of the
same size rs the present, but with two stamps,
one on each upper corner, and will, of course,
be sold for two cents. The stamp ON the right
hand corner is cancelled when the card goes
through the mail the first time, and the other
on its return. The original sender writes his
communication on the back and the address
of his correspondent ON the face the latter
appends his answer grasses his own address,
and writes that of the person who sent it to
him. The double envelope also has two
stamps placed MS ON the postal card its flap is
gummed in two places, and between them
is a line of pcrforations, The sender, instead
of enclosing a stamp to pay return postage
uses one of these envelopes, writing the ad-
dress on the right hand of the envelope, and
seals it by moistening the gum on the outer
edge of the flap. The receiver cuts through
the line of perforations and the envelope is
opened. Enclosing his answer he seals it as
usual and writes the address of his cores
pondent on the left hand end. The envelope
sheet is a sheet stamped on the back like a
stamped envelope, and so arranged that it can
be folded and sealed without using an envel-
ope. It's advantages are economy and also
the convenience, especially in the case of pa
pers that may be used in evidence in legal
proceedings, of having proof of the time of
mailing attached to the document itself.

A GEORGIA CouBr INCIDENT.-The legisla-
ture of Georgia having passed a stringent law
against pistol carrying, Judge Lester of that
State enforced it in a novel way short time
since While holding court he suddenly sus-
pended proceedings, ordered the sheriff to
lock the door and let no one out and then in
formed those present that he had seen a pis-
tol on one man in that room, and that lie felt
it might be his duty to 90 before the grand
jury and have him indicted but if h. would
come forward and lay down the pistol and
a fine Of II the matter would be over
looked. One after another from among the
lawyers, witnesses aud jurymen came forward,
until there were lying on the table - pistols
aud reyolyers, and as many dollar bills. This
is right, said the judge each one advanc-
ed, but you are not the man" There was
pause, and the Judge resumed Gentlemen,
here are ~ persons who have acted like men
but the man saw has not yet come forward.
| will give him one minute longer to accept
my proposition if he does not in that time,
| will point him out to the sheriff and order
that he be taken into custody" Immediately
two men in the rear of the court room arose;
they looked at each other a moment. but it
was too late they had committed themselves
and could not do other than 60 forward and
lay down their pistols and their dollars. One
of these the judge designated as the original
culprit, and the law having thus been vindi-
Gated the court proceeded with its regular
business.
