How lie Looked.

A person in Maryland, who was addicted
to drunkenness, hearing a considerable up
roar in his kitchen one night, had the Curl
osity to step without noise to the door to
know what was the matter, when he found
his servants indulging in the most unbounded
roars of laughter at couple of negro boys
who were mimicking himself in his drunken
fts-as how he reeled and staggered, how he
looked, and nodded, and hiccoughed, and
tumbled.
The pictures which these little darkies
drew of him, and which had filled the rest
with such inexhaustable merriment, struck
him with so salutary disgust that from
that night he became perfectly sober man,
to the joy of his wife and children. It's
pity some other men could not see themselves
initiated in like manner.

A Very Obedient Dog.

Last Tuesday night, says the New Orleans
Republican, q stranger, just for amusement,
gave several bystanders specimens Of his
dogs requirements, at the corner of PerdidO
and St. Charles streets. The master quietly,
without gesture of any kind, told his dog to
walk across the street, find little wagon
and get into it. Doggy obeyed, though re-
luctantly, as the wagon was cart, but
finally complied. He was then told to hunt
up tire-plug and mount it. His keen eyes
searched moment, and on the instant poor
Tray pleased his owner. He was then COM
manded to hunt up a lamp-post, and put his
fore-feet on it. This done, he was told to
go into the Pelican saloon, find cl air, and
sit in it; and then to lie down and act like
poisoned dog. These orders were given in
the most commonplace tone of voice, and
most of the time the beast could not see his
master, yet he obeyed quite as readily as a
willing servant, apparently understanding
the English language very well. OF all the
dogs that ever showed off on Charles street,
that one is entitled to the premium. Those
who witnessed the performances were not
only amused, but greatly astonished; in
fact, one individual, having witnessed por-
ton of the antics, declared that he could
not and would not suffer himself to view
acts that looked so altogether unnatural

Diana.

She had q bow of yellow horn,
Like the old moon at early morn.
She had three arrows, strong and good,
Steel set in feathered cornel-wood.
Like purest pearl her left breast shone,
Above her kirtle's emerald zone.
Her right was bound in silk well knit,
Lest her bowString should sever it.
Ripe lips she had, and clear gray eyes,
And hair, pure gold, blown hoiden-wise
-.cross her face like shining mist
That with dawn's flush is family kissed.
Her limbs, how matched and round and fine
How free, like song! How strong, like wine.
And, timed 10 music wild and sweet,
How swift her silVer-sandalled feet!
Single of heart and strong of hand,
Mmd-l Ike she wandered through the land.
No man, or king, or lord, or churl--
Dared whisper love to that fair girl
And woe to him who came upon
Her nude, at bath, like Actaoni
So dire his fate, that one who heard
The flutter of bathing bird
What time he crossed a breezy wood
Felt sudden Quickening of his blood,
Cast one shy look, then ran away
Far through the green, thick groves of May,
Afeared lest, down the wind of spring,
He'd hear an arrow whispering.

MICROSCOPIC,

A well-known naturalist tells Of an in
sect seen with a microscope of which twen-
ty-seven million would only equal mite.
Insects Of various kinds may be seen in the
cavities Of a common grain of sand. Mold
is a forest of beautiful trees, with the
branches, leaves, flowers, and fruit. But
teraies are fully feathered. Hairs are hol-
low tubes. The surface Of our bodies arc
covered with scales like fish; a. sinole
grain Of sand would cover one hundred and
fifty of these scales, and yet single scale
covers five hundred pores. Through these
narrow openings the sweat forces itself out
like water through sieve. The mites
make five hundred steps second. Each
drop of stagnant water contains world of
animated beings, swimming with as much
liberty as a whale in the sea. Each leaf
has colony of insects grazing upon it, ike
oxen on a meadow.

Tho Farmer Feedeth All.

My lord rides through his palace gate,
My lady sweeps along in state;
The sage thinks long on many thing,
And the maiden muses. on marrying;
The minstrel harpeth merrily,
The sailor ploughs the foaming sea,
The huntsman kills the good red deer,
And the soldier wars without cen fear;
But fall to each, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Smith hammereth cherry red the sword,
Priest preacheth pure the Holy Word;
Dame Alice wOrketh 'broidery well,
Clerk Richard tales Of love can tell;
The tap wife sells her fOaming beer,
Dan Fisher fisheth in the mere;
And courtiers rufIle, strut, and shine,
While pages bring the gaScon wine;
But fall to each whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Man builds his castles fair and high,
Wherever river runneth by;
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand /;
Great arches, monuments, and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers;
Great work is done, be it here or there,
And well man worketh everywhere;
But work or rest, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.

gentlemen of the jury, did not commit
that horrible deed. am innocent"
profound murmM welled from the lips
of the crowd, and it was some time before
order was restored.
The Judge put on the black cap and arose
to pass sentence.
Just then terrible commotion arose out
side the courtroom, and two men entered,
bearing between them the form Of man,
whose face was half hidden by red hand
kerchief which was tied around his head.
This man was Jack Rape, who had that
day recovered his senses, and on hearing
that young O'Connor was on trial for the
murder Of Mr.. Blake, requested that he
should be brought to the court as he had
important evidence to give in the case.
A policeman advanced toward the bench
and whispered something to the judge,
who ordered two policemen to guard the
door, and allow no one to leave the court
room.
The invalid was seated in chair on the
witness-stand, and, after having been duly
sworn, deposed as follows:
"His name was John Rape; on the even
ing Of the 10Th of July, the evening on
which the murder was committed, ne was
walking in field near where the deed was
done saw Mr.. Blake pass by, and when ne
passed him little way saw man with
black mask jump from behind a ditch and
attack his master, he ran to his assistance
and grappled with the assailant, tore the
mask from his face, and as he did so he was
struck with some blunt instrument on the
head. The man who assaulted his master,
and from whose face he tore the mask, was
not the prisoner. The man was anthony
Bell!
A tremendous uproar arose In the court
room, and rush was made toward the
door.
Bell, seeing that his game was up,
thought to escape, and caused the excite
ment just spoken of, but he was seized by
the two trusty policemen and placed in the
dock from which O'Connor had been hon
Orably released.
Seeing that all hope was gone he confess
ed his guilt, and was made to pay the pen
atty of his crime on the scafold.
A year passed by since the above trans
pred.
Bonfres blazed on the hill side, from
which tsae joyous shouts of the peasantry
were echoed in the valley below, where
nestled the village of Ballyglen.
The marriage bells pealed forth their
joyous anthems, as marriage coterie en-
tered the pretty little church and advanced
up the fower-strewn aisle and stood before
the alter.
A very handsome couple they are who
are about to be joined in wedlock. The
bride is dressed in lavender silk and lace,
wreath of white flowers decorates her
head of golden hair-as pretty bride as
ever happy groom led from the alter.
And so thought Gerald O'Connor as the
minister pronounced Molly Blake his we'd
| ded wife.
| And as our story comes to an end we
viii bid them adieu, hoping that a long life
of love and happiness will be theirs.

And the rising sun is brightest,

Tempest loud

Come in the sweetest Summer dayi
Deem not, W hen the Winters torrents
Swell the misty mounta N currents,
That the skies will lower for aye
Stormy showers

Hope nor fear long delay--

And soon viii ii thy life away!

Nor spare to pluck the sweetest flowers,
Nor trust the feast, nor dread the fray
Or lost or won,

And dies in the dawn of a brighter day!

Sow1NG OATS AND WHEAT TOGETHER

Sow1NG OATS AND WHEAT TOGETHER.
The experiment has been tried in
Iowa, it is said, OF sowing in the fall,
upon one acre of land, two bushel OF
wheat mixed with one bushel of oats.
The oats shot up rapidly, and were, OF
course, killed down by the frost. But
they furnished warm covering for the
earth, and when the snow fell among
the thick stalks and leaves they kept it
from blowing away. This covering
prevented the winter-killing of the
wheat, and the rotting oat leaves and
stalks afforded rich top-dressing for
the crop the following spring. The
result was an abundant yield of wheat,
while land precisely similar alongside,
and treated in the same manner, with
the exception of emitting the oats, was
utterly worthless.--TrWe Citizen.

unpleasant to havethese alarms created

tanned by the people of this section

justly to apprehend danger from very
slight causes, and their promptness in
preparing to defend their families and
property, is certainly commendable,
and shows them to bethe men who are
determined to I've masters of the coun-
try they inhabit however much the

eve that the scout; who have been

The United States surveyors have
during the past week, been surveying
the remaining four miles of township

Der lands south and west of the lake.
1t is the purpose of the petitioners
who asked for this survey, to have
this land so it might he aiken up

Timber men are anxious to secure
this land and put themselves in a po-
sition to cut the timber without mo-

ment. Should this timber laud be all
scriped by men who care but little for
the welfare of the settler of Waha Pra-

dependent on those timber lands for

morning.

A gentleman in this city is in re-
ceipt of letter written by former
resident OF Portland, who is at present
living near Lewiston, which gives
very discouraging account of the rava-
2es Of the grassboppers in that portion
of Idaho. The writer is owner of a
ranch about three miles from Lewiston
and this year sowed considerable grain.
He states in his letter that the grass
hoppers have Utterly eaten up his en-
tire crop, Other farmers living i'll
that vicinity have sustained similar
loss. The writer states that he be-
came so discouraged by reason of the
grasshopper ravages that he sold his
ranch and intends to leave that part
of the country. -Orcgonian.
This is all incorrect. The writer
referred to must have gathered his in
formation from wild rumors Several
of the farmers adjacent to this city cut
their crops and made hay of them, 70,
fear the grasshoppers might destroy
their crop, and in some instances the
grasshoppers took portions of the
wheat. In Lewiston we have fine
gardens not materially hurt by tn,
grasshoppers, and the great bulk o
the country north and south of thi
city has not been visited by the grass
hoppers at all. Thousands of acres 0
the finest grain raised in any countr,
