A SER

"GUARD your thoughts very carefully"
is a good motto, but very few people have
possessions enough of that kind to hire
an extra Waterman.
SOME peoples bad habits resemble the
declared that it came on regularly once a
month, and lasted about six weeks.
PARKER. on being asked which Of the
many creeds it was easiest to believe, re-
piled, 1.-THE one that has a salary affixed to
it large enough to enable a man to keep a
coach and six horses"
SOME oNE-the saying is several centur-
les old, but just as good as new-has told
us that prayer is the proper key with which
to open the day, and that he sleeps securely
who locks the night with it.
THIS is for the private ear of clergymen
Lamont said: "Nothing can justify o
long sermon. If it be a good one it need
not be long, and if it be a bad one it ought
not to be long"
TEMPER in a sword makes it bend and
gives it value, but temper in a man makes
the house so hot that no one can live in it,
But when a sword is well tempered and 8
man is good tempered-well, you see the
resemblance for yourself. They are both
what they ought to be, that is all.
WE are all more or less like Kitty Give,
a comic actress, who said of DR.. Ashley
preaching that she was always vastly goot
for two or three days after hearing one o!
his sermons, but that by the time Thurs
day came round the effect wore off and sht
was her old self again.
SHAKESPEARE tells us that 'virtue is bold
and goodness never fearful" and yet We
heard not long since of a colored man, ant
the deacon Of a church, too, who crep'
after dark round a h~enroost as though ht
was actually afraid Of meeting the OWNER
Either the man or the motto was in tn
wrong.
IT il said that a mans voice reveals hi
character. When, for instance, you asl
him for a contribution for the church, ant
he tells you that he has just bought a fas
horse and hasn't a penny to spare, yor
know by his voice that he is one OF thu
benevolent citizens Of a great republic ant
that he won't see himself suffer for any
thing which either money or credit car
purchase.
SAMUEL DEACON was q somewhat cele
brated Baptist minister. He was notabl,
homely Of countenance-so homely that i
seemed as though he was made up of tn
odds and ends that were left over. III
was quite sensitive about his appearance
withal, and wrote the following lines t.
ward off the shafts of ridicule:
The carcass that you look at so
Is not Sam. Deacon, you must know
But it's the carriage-the machine
Which Samuel Deacon rideth in.

The Stock MYsferY.

Referring to the sudden upheaval in the
stock market, the Virginia Chronicle has
the following; 1.-THE mystery surround
ing the rise in stocks seems to deepen.
Nothing apparently is known to the
street." either here or in San Francisco, as
to the cause OF the advance. The old
timers look upon this as q good sign, and
feel confident that strong hands are at the
wheel. Sierra Nevada continues to be the
favorite. Every share offered is snapped
up before the seller knows what he is
about. The feeling here and in San Fran
cisco is one OF hopefulness."

Prehistoric Mining.

The workmen in the Silver Belt recently
made a remarkable discovery, showing that
the mine had been worked ages ago. The
ten-foot bonanza recently uncovered con
tinued to widen at every stroke OF the
pick, and left an overhanging wall on one
side that looked more like loan than the
ordinary wall or vein matter of a quartz
ledge, and so soft that it caved in, in such
a way as to obstruct the work. They then
went up above the cave, and decided to
run down on the ledge in a new place, SO
as to get under the cave, in order to have
solid ground to work on. In clearing away
to start in, they found lying on the ore on
top Of the loan, three feet from the sur
face, five stone hammers, such as are found
in the ancient ruins and abandoned mines
of the Aztecs all over the country, show
ing clearly that the Silver Belt had been
worked in prehistoric ages.

Our Reasons.

In fact, we sell all goods at San Francisco
prices, and NO HUMBUG. Fer the benefit of
those who want to know how we sell Goods SO
cheap, we will explain Our buyers are al
ways in the market, and are thoroughly con-
versant with the Dry Goods business, being
brought up to it from childhood, aud therefore
know the texture of any piece of Goods, and
the actual value thereof, and being in the
market all the time know when they see a
piece Of new goods, and no old stock that has
been in the store for years can be palmed off
on them as being of the latest pattern. And
as we buy our goods for cash we get a certain
percentage which those who do not cannot OBJ
tain. These are some of the reasons why we
sell so cheap. Another reason is we sell for
cash, thereby lesseAing our expenses. IT we
had to keep a set of books we would need
moro help. And again, we do not believe in
the theory of charging good customers with
the debts Of others to make good their losses.

The Rescue at Sea.

TWENTY years ago one of the fierc-
est tempests swept the Atlantic sea-
board. Commencing in the tropics it
circled the North Atlantic, and for two
days raved madly scattering devastation
and disorder in its track. In the height
of this terrible tempest the Central Amer
lea foundered, and the papers for weeks
after teemed with accounts of the mar
velous escapes of some of her passengers
and crew. Among her passengers was
Mrs. Berry and her little girl, the lat
ter slender, golden-haired beauty, a
great favorite with all on board.
Mrs. Berry, quiet, resolute, little
woman of 80, or thereabouts, was the
wife of sea captain, trading between
New York, San Francisco and China
His ship had undergone extensive re-
pairs eight months before at San Fran
cisco, and Mrs. Berry had gone on there
to enjoy the society of her husband
After his ship had sailed, Mrs. Berry
had fingered on the Pacific coast to en-
joy the delightful climate and agreeable
manners of the people there. She was
now returning to New York in the Gen.
tral America, to meet her husband, who
had sailed from China and was about
due in New York.
The splendid steamer had full COM
plement of cabin and steerage passen-
gers, and many thousand dollars in
treasure. Her human freight were
looking forward to speedy termination
of the voyage, and on the noon of the
day my story commences the good ship
was speeding proudly over the pillows.
She was following the Gulf Stream, and
was somewhere off the Carolina coast,
where the wind veered to the eastward
and commenced to increase in violence
AS the afternoon wore away the sea
became rough, and by nightfall the ship
labored and plunged in the big waves
that sometimes flooded her forward
deck.
During the night the engines were
slowed, the ship made snug, and the
usual means adopted to ensure the safety
of the steamer. By daybreak the gale
was regular bowling hurricane, the
wind had shifted north, and now roared
through the rigging with that peculiar
sound that battles description.
Daylight showed sad condition of
affairs on board the steamer. Broken
bulwarks, the clanking sound of the
pumps, revealed the story of the night.
1t was found that the pumps did not

SUNDAY READING,
What Followed.

Wordsworth says, {" The child is the
father of the man." and more than one
prison scene and prison memory has
illustrated this inevitable link of char
acter between ones earlier and later
years. A young man arrested for
swindling his employer out of twenty
thousand dollars sat alone in a criminals
cell, out of which daylight had faded.
Covering on his hard bed he pictured
to himself the world outside, full of
warmth and light and comfort. The
question came to him sharply
"How came you here ? Was it really
the stealing of that last great sum ?"
Yes and no.
Looking back twenty years, he saw
himself schoolboy ten years old. He
remembered one lovely June day-with
the roses in full bloom over the porch
and the dress his mother wore while at
her work, and the laborers in the wheat
fields.
Freshest of all he remembered his
Uncle John-such queer, kind, forget

The Gain Of Sunday Rest.

Of course do not mean that man
will not produce more in a week by
working seven days than by working
six days. but / very much doubt
whether at the end of the year, he will
generally have produced more by work
ing seven days in week than by work
ing six days in o week. The natural
difference between Campania and Spitz-
bergen is trifing when compared with
the difference between country inhab-
tied by men full of bodily and mental
vigor, and country inhabited by men
sunk in bodily decrepitude. Therefore
it is that we are not poorer, but richer,
because we have through many ages
rested from our labor one day in seven.-
The day is not lost. While industry is
suspended, while the plough lies in the
furrow, while the exchange is silent,
while no smoke ascends from the fac
tory, a process is going on quite as i'm
portant to the wealth of the nation as
the work which is performed on more
busy days. Man, the machine of ma
chines-the machine which compared
with all the contrivances of the Watts
and Arkwrights are worthless-is repair
ing and winding up, SO that he returns
to his labors on the Monday with clear
er intellect, with livelier spirits, with
renewed corporeal vigor.
