An Unwilling sacrifice.

A young man who attended church
last Sunday evening tells the following
and vouches for its truth: Shortly
after the services commenced well
dressed man, accompanied by two
ladies, entered aud took seats. About
the close of the services collection was
taken up as usual; he found to his hor-
nor that he had nothing smaller than a
standard dollar. He hesitated whether
to donate so much to the cause of the
church, but as the bewitching eyes Of
the young ladies' were fastened upon
him, with sigh that appeared to come
from the depth OF his soul, lac dropped
the "coin Of our daddies in the basket,
having concluded, though unwillingly,
to make the sacrifice rather than lose
the esteem of the fair ones.

Farmers Anxiously Waiting for Warm
Weather.

The month of March, so far, with the
exception of one day, has been as cold
and disagreeable as the corresponding
number of days in February. While
the ground seems dry on the surface. it
is frozen too hard to pillow or sow.
Ordinarily at this time of the year
farmers south Of the railroad have the
greater part of their grain in the ground,
and the Paradisers are busy as bees
getting theirs in. This year nothing in
that line has been attempted north or
south Of the road in this county. While
the cold weather may be detrimental to
the farming interests in some respects,
it is expected to be of great benefit to
those who have fruit trees Usually
the warm weather early in March causes
the trees to bud and blossom only to be
nipped by frosts later in the season.
Now it is hoped that when the warm
weather sets in it will continue. and
the knowing ones predict fine fruit
season.

B. F. Riley and w. H. Minor, of
Paradise Valley, called last evening.
They say there is considerable snow
piled up high in the mountains. and are
of the opinion that there will be suffi-
Gent water for irrigating purposes this
season in the upper part OF the valley;
but there will not be enough to irrigate
hay lands below Weights ranch. The
Spring is one of the coolest and most
backward experienced since 1868. The
ground is still frozen and farmers are
anxiously waiting for it to thaw out to
commence plowing and sowing. This
time last year considerable grain was
sown, but this year up to date, there
has not been furrow plowed, or an acre
OF grain sowed.

Into the gloom OF the deep, dark night,
With painting breath and startled scream,
Swift as bird in sudden fight
Darts this creature OF steel sn1 steam.
Awful dangers are lurking nigh,
Rocks and chasms are near the track,
But straight by the light Of its great white eye
1t speeds thro' the shadows, dense and black.
Terrible thoughts and fierce desires
Trouble its mad heart many an hour,
Where burn and smolder the hidden fires,
Coupled over with might and power.
1t hates as wild horse hates the rein,
The narrow track by vale and hill;
And shrieks with a cry OF startled pain,
And longs to follow its own wild will
Oh what am but an engine shod
With muscle and flesh by the hand OF God,
Speeding on thro the dense, dark night,
Guided alon by the souls white light.
Often and often my mad heart tires,
And hates its way with bitter hate,
And longs to follow its own desires,
And leave the end in the hands OF fate.
Oh, ponderous engine of steel and steam;
Oh, human engine of flesh and bone
Follow the white lights certain beam
There lies safety, and there alone.
The narrow track OF fearless truth,
Lit by the souls great eye of light,
Oh, passionate heart of restless youth,
Alone will carry you thro' the night.

The comparative force OF gunpowder
and dynamite was discussed by two
miners at Tunka, Cal. They agreed, as
a test, to explode certain quantities OF
the substances under two planks, the
friend of gunpowder to stand on the
dynamite plank and the friend of dyna-
mite on the other. The trial was made
in the presence of an interested crowd
of spectators. 1t resulted in broken
leg for the man who was lifted ten feet
into the air by the dynamite, and un-
counted bruises for the one whom the
gunpowder threw against the trunk of a
tree.

While broad the blaze uprolled,
Beside their hearths in Eighty,

The hard frost figured grimly
Along the window glass
How large the old-time chimney!
How wide the fireplace was!
The solid Goals dropped under,
The brazen andirons glowed,
The iore-stick lell asunder,
Daop riits the backlog showed.
rhoy talked of wives aud widows,
OF woes that war revealed,
While round the walls the shadows
- OF British armies wheeled;
They talked of Earl CORVALLIS,
OF Britain and hor might;
Their cause their only solace,
Their only strength the right.
they told OF insults wanton,
And guessed with forward viow,
At what Sir Henry Clinton,
With opening spring, would do.
They named each friendly nation
France, Holland, even Spain,
And gathered consolation
From Stony Point and Wayne.
With retrospective iervor,
1hey talked OF Charlestown Neck,
Oi Gates by Hudson river,
And Arnold at Quebec.
IL calling men and places,
And battles lost or won,
They brouthcd with ardent faces
The name OF Washington.
rney talked OF gloom impending,
They spoke OF doubtful stas,
OF shoeless men contending
With red-coat regulars.
And thus with matters weighty,
Things past or things to come,
Each household hearth in Eighty
Was stirred as by the drum.
The warrior cold stood sentry,
At windows and at doors;
The sitting snow found entry,
And streaked the sanded floors.
But ever with the knitting,
Or with the open book,
Went thought TO Clinton fitting,
Or Howe off Sandy Hook.
