Gems of Thought,

Look not mournfully into the
past; it comes not back again.
Wisely improve the present; it is
thine. Go forth to meet the shad-
owy future without fear, and with a
manly heart.
We are all able to take care Of
ourselves IN love affairs when we
are young; and when we get old,
we are all convinced of the inabil-
ity of other folk in youth to look
out for themselves.
Persons who are always innocent
ly cheerful and good-humored, are
very useful in the world; they main
tain peace and happiness, and
spread thankful temper among all
who live around them.
Generosity is the wealthiest feel
ing of the heart. Feel as if you
would aid suffering if you could,
and you have nearly all the salts
faction that you would have had
if you really had relieved distress.
Flowers should deck the brow of
the youthful bride, for they are in
themselves lovely type of mar
riage. They should Irvine around
the tomb, for their perpetual re-
newed beauty is a symbol of the
resurrection.
Every man has, in his own life,
follies enough-in his own mind,
troubles enough-in the perform
ance of his duties, deficiencies
enough-in his own fortune, evils
enough-without being curious af-
ter the affairs of others.
You can train the eye to all the
bright places in your life, and so
slip over the hard ones with sur
prising ease. You can also train
che eye to rest on the glsomy spots,
in utter forgetfulness OF all that is
bright and happy.
Hope is a prodigal young heir,
and experience is his banker; but
his drafts are seldom honored since
there is often a heavy balance
against him, because he draws
largely upon small capital, is not
yet in possession, and if he were he
would die.
The history of the world teaches
US no lesson with more Impressive
solemnity than this-that the only
safegard of great intellect is a
pure heart; that evil no sooner
takes possession of the heart than
folly commences the conquest OF
the mind.
Though sometimes small evils,
like invisible insects, inflict pain,
and single hair may stop vast
machine, yet the chief secret of
comfort lies in not suffering trifes
to vex one, and in prudently cult
waiting an underground of small
pleasure, since very few great ones,
alas are let on long leases.
God madeboth tears ndlaugh ter,
and both for kind purposes; for as
laughter enables mirth and sur
prise to breathe freely, so tears en- a
BILE sorrow to vent itself patiently.
Tears hindered sorrow from be-
coming despair and madness; and
laughter is one of the privileges
of reason, being confined to the
human species.

BenevoIence Rewarded.

A tender. hearted stranger of well
TODD exterior, passing by the broad
stone steps of Warsaw cathedral,
perceived poorly dressed woman
cro9ched at their foot, weeping
loudly and wriggling her hands in
deep tribulation. Touched by her
evident distress, he stopped and
asked what was the matter, "Kind,
gracious sir" replied the sobbing
woman, 81 am the most unfortunate
creature in the world. l want to
get my baby christened, but the
pope demands two roubles, and l
have not a single copeck." els that
ALP" observed the pitiful stranger;
"take this five-rouble note, go
straight to the pope, pay him his
christening fee, and bring me out
the three roubles change" With
joyful promptitude the recipient of
his bounty entered the church,
whence she presently emerged with
three silver rOubles, which she
handed to her benefactor, express
ing her heartfelt gratitude for his
timely succOr, and her surprise at
his apparently disinterested kind
ness. "My good woman" answered
the philanthropist, with beaning
smile, ''your astonishment is I'M
called for. You see, l am one of
those people who cannot bear to
contemplate the unhappiness of
their fellow creatures. must al
ways see joyous faces around me.
Besides, everybody concerned in
this transaction is profited by it.
The pope has got his fee, your
child will be christened, your mind
is at case, and have derived three
good silver roubles from a benevo-
lent action and-a counterfeit five
rouble note!'

A Professional Call.

A hero among physicians is DR..
South, of Western Texas. He was
warned some time ago that his life
was to pay the forfeit of having
voted on the grand jury for the
indictment of certain band of des-
peradoes. One night q man rode
up TO the Doctors rancho and in
formed him that the wife of the
ringleader of the gang was Ill, and
he must attend her. He naturally
thought it was a trick to get him
out and kill him, but he was con
scientious In his profession. He
got his horse and rode away
with the messenger, right into the
gang of desperadoes; and, dis
mounting, entered the tent of the
woman. There lay the the suffer
er, while the man who had prom
ised to kill the Doctor stood by.
The Doctor drew his revolver,
placed it on the pillow, and re
marked that he would "attend to
professional calls first, and person
al ones afterward." The despera-
does were struck with his courage
and humanity, and trebled his fee
instead of shooting him.

The Nashville Banner, in a recent
article, says:
What we now want above all 9th
ers is man sufficiently strong to
beat Grant. The Democrats of the
United States assem- bled in conven-
ton can better tell who is the most
acceptable man, than we at home.
One thing is very certain, and that
should be borne in mind in making
the nomination, that it is far more
necessary to please the North than
the South. The Democrats of the
South will vote for any one sane
toned by the convention, while our
brethren of the North have prefer
ences they will enforce or fly of.
We do not dispute the prudence
of the above advice; for it is doubt
less well-timed and based on the ac-
tual requirements of the situation;
but it forces upon US the humilia-
ting reflection that our northern al
lies, unless they can enforce their
preferences, whether they accord
with southern wishes or not, will
desert the party and ''fy off,
When we are forced to believe that
we who do the voting, and furnish
three-fourths of the party strength,
must remain forever silent when
vital questions are being decided,
and bow submissively to the dicta
ton of helpless minority who are
ready to desert the cause should we
choose to assert the right of opinion,
we do not experience that exalta-
ton of spirit which spurs men on
ward to great achievements and
kindles in their veins the fires of
enthusiasm.

In a conversation with Mr.. S. S. Walker a few
days ago relative to that subject, we were i'll
formed that the amount for winch the prop
erty will be stocked is conditional on the ma
ture of the report Of Professors Blake and
Clayton who are now examining the mine.
The examination is not yet concluded and no
report has yet been made so that any positive
statement as to the amount is premature and
not to be relied upon. If the ATLANTIS de-
sires a reputation as areliable exponent ofthe
mining interests of the Territory, it will here
after find it eXpedient to confine itself to well
authenticated facts.

Supposed Corpse.

Some excitement was occasioned in the
upper END OF Main street last evening by the
reported finding of a corpse in the road be-
tween Butte and Centreville. A gentleman
was coming down from Walkerville when in
the darkness he stumbled over whst he SUD-
posed to be the body of a deadmaan, Dit de-
clined to maIN an investigation unti, he
should have some assistance. He accordingly
came to town, where he notified several
men OF the circumstance, and in COM
pany with them returned to indi-
cate the place where he discovered the
body. The party were decidedly astonished
on arriving at the place to find that the corpse
had mysteriously disappeared. Inquiries
were at once instituted among the people
living in the vicinity when it was soon ascer.
tanned that the supposed dead man was alive
ana IN no danger of passing in his checks.
1t appears that not long after the first dis
coyerer OF the remains =" had passed down
the road for assistance, another man came
along and noticing the body at once took hold
OF it and conveyed it to a neighborino house
when it was soon discovered that the indiyid-
ual was not dead but sleeping. He soon gave
unmistakable symptoms of returning con-
seriousness and his first articulated words
were whisky straight" Instead of comply
ing with the implied demand the lady of the
house taking in the situation administered a
drink of water which so surprised his stomach
that he awoke in evident disgust. 1t was
nothing more than a case of dead drunk. He
had overestimated his capacity as a reservoir
for distilled liquor, and finding himself I'M
able to reach his domestic hparthstone in the
classic burg of Walkerville, had perforce &C
cepted the hospitality of the road side where
he fell into a sound and refreshing slumber.
