A Famous Guide.

Pike, the famous guide of the Yosen-
tie valley, has recently run down to San
Francisco for the first time in twenty
six years. He was born in Tennessee,
but crossed the plains soon after the dis
Icovery of gold, being one of the few sur
'vivors of the Inflated party that first at
tempted theperilous passage OF the Death
valley route He was an associate of
Peg-leg Smith, who amputated his own
leg with hunting KIN ife, taking up the
arteries and dressing the stump without
assistance. This operation was neces-
sary inasmuch as he had received II
wound from poisoned arrow in Skin
mish with Indians, and illustrated an
important operation now familiar to ev-
cry college student that of saving ones
own leg off, short. Pike first visited the
Yosemite in 1852, the year after its dis
covery 10y white men, and he has re-
NAMED in these mountain solitudes ever
since, this beng his first excursion. Dur
ing recent years he has purs led the oc-
cupation of guide with thrift and profit.
In ascending Mount Whitney. however,
he contracted bronchial affection and
lost his voice so that he cannot now
speak above a whisper He has been
CO.. }nissioned by hotel proprietors in
Yosemite to visit Oregon for the pur-
pose of procuring new varieties Of plants
and trees for the valley.

Keep Straight Ahead.

Pay no attention to SANDERS and Cos
sipmongers. Keep straight on i'll your
course, and let their back biting die the
death Of neglect. What is the use in
lying awake at night, brooding over the
remarks of some false friend, that runs
through yon brain like lightning
What is the use Of getting into "a worry
and fret Owe: gosei that has been set
ahoat TO your disadvantage by some
busybody. who has more time than char
acter .! The things cannot possibly in
lure You, unless indeed, you take notice
of them, and in combating them give
them standing and character. If what
is said about you, set yourself right; if it
is false, let it 60 for what it will fetch,
and think of the old saying, 81 consider
the sour e it comes from"
If bee sting you, would you 90 to
the hive and destroy it would not a
thousand come upon you? 1t is wisdom
to say little respecting the injuries you
have received; we are generally losers in
the end if we stop to refute all the back
biting and gossiping we may hear by the
way. They are annoying, it is true; but
not dangerously, so long as we. do not
stop to expostulate and scold. Our
characters are formed and sustained by
ourselves, by our own actions and pur
poses, and not by others. Let Us al
WAYS bear in mind that calumniators
may usually be trusted to time, and the
slow but steady justice of public opin-
ion. Say to those who come to you with
news, and want to tell you what such
and such persons say about you that "a
dog which brings bone will take one"
How many families have their peace and
happiness destroyed by meddling and
tattling personsl The best way is to
pay no attention, but keep straight
ahead -

Our Neighbours Good Name.

Anybody can soil the reputation OF an
individual, however pure and chas,e, by
u,tering a susp oion tina; his enemies will
believe and his friends never hear OF. A
DUFF of the Idle can take million OF the
seeds OF thistle and do work OF mis-
chief which the husbandman must labor
long TO undo; the floating particles are
too fine 10 be seen and TOO light to be
stopped. Such are the seeds OF SANDER,
SO easily sown, so diiicals 10 be gathered

Trust in Humanity.

Thi6 trust of one in another is beau

III %and keeps the soul young and
frA(after the years of youth and fresh
ness have faded.
To doubt and distrust the world is 10
\ robslife of all that is loveliest and best
and most worth living for, is to narrow
your views and fetter the expansion OF
mind and soul In your skepticism you
nav resent honest friendship and true
love through the fear that behind it is
hid a false motive that would work you
i'll. In this you may save yourself some
times deception, but only to bring you
perpetual unrest and disquiet.
We are all creatures of the self same
God-and with all the vileness, all the
sinfulness and falseness of which hui
manity is capable there still much that
is good, true and beautiful to I've loved,

the great rabble of wrong-doers, many

INany hand that is outstretched in

sperfolmance of kind acts, that may
set down to our commentator among
execorded deeds OF life.
Al Many heart has broken, and life

POINTED SHOES. A great beau of the
time of William Rufus, called Robert
the Horned, wore shoes with large sharp
points, suited with tow, and twisted in
IA spiral form. This fashion took the
fancy of the people of that day i'm
mensely, and the points went on increas-
ing yearly until the reign of Richard
H., when they had to be tied to the
knees of the wearer to save him from
being encountered in walking. This ty
ing or fastening, i'll the case of gentle
men was by chains Of silver or silver or
silver gilt. In Chaucer's time the upper
part of these shoes was cut to initiate a
church window. The rank of the wearer
in those days was known by the length
of his poulaines. THE men" says Par
adm, "wore them with point before,
half foot long; the richer and more
eminent personages wore them foot,
and princes two feet long" By an act
of the reign of Edward ". the absurd
lengths to which these points had at
tanned was limited: and no one under
the rank of lord was to wear shoes
more than 10 inches long, and all cob
blcrs making them were to be fined and
cursed 10y the clergy. All the Year
