The Grasshopper liz a Burden.

The grasshopper is flippant bug.
They are born of eggs, and are an
inch and quarter in length when they
git ripe.
They are Matched out, get their
growth, and die off in seventy-fve days.
This il biz6ness, and shows that they
have enterprise in hi degree.
What they are good for il prize
konundrum, but the evil they sumtimes
do IL equal to famine.

face ov the earth for fifty miles in cir
conference ct up bi them, and milyuns
ov them besides starving to deth.
| hav seen the air filled with them
like shower ov sand, and nothing but
stone fences proof against their destroy
ing appetights.
They travel on the jump, and fill the
heavens with their song Ov ruin.
They are consuming fire, and no
power ov man kan stay their journey.
One grasshopper IL a vulnerable item,
but when sum edikt of heaven marshals
them in countless legions they are an
appalling terror.
To be ct up hi grasshoppers, to be con-
sumed bi musketoes, or mangled by a
mule hav alwus ben the three deths that

But az much az l fear the deadly

Accidental Death of a Young Bride.

One of the saddest tragedies magma
BILE in real life transpiled in this city
'ew days ago. A beautiful girl, by name
Kitturah j. Horn, had for some time
been engaged to William +. Oliver, a
young man well known in San Francis
co. For I, asons best known to the con-
tracing parties it was deemed advisable
to have a quiet wedding at the residence
ofihe BRIDES parents, and subsequentlyto
give general r. cepiion to their friends
by way of surprise. The happy day
arrived, and the ceremony was none the
ess solemn because performed private
ly. This was on the 9th of June, and it
was arranged that the reception should
take place this week. Invtation-lists
were made out and pleasant time an
ticipaied. In the fore part of last week
the young wife visited her husband at
his Office down town, and after remain
ing some time together they started to
descend The steep stairs that lead to the
ground floor. AS Mrs. Oliver reached
the top of the flight she ontangled the
heel of her shoe in her skirt, and, losing
her balance, fell heavily, and rolled
down the stairs until caught by her hus-
band, who had preceded her short dis
lance. Although severely shocked by
the fall, she was enabled to reach home
with her husbands assistance. Symp-
toms of serious internal injuries soon
made their appearance, and the untor-
tunate lady sank, until, on Sunday,
every hope was given up and her favor
lie sister was summoned from Monterey.
1t was the heartfelt prayer of the dying
girl that she might die in her sisters
arms, but her prayers were not answered,
for she expired two hours before the
expected one arrived. The first intima-
ton that many of the friends Of the
young lady had heard of her marriage
Or death was. conveyed through the
medium of Tuesdays papers, wherein
both the marriage and funeral notices

The Past and Present.

In noting the difference in the style in
which Senators and Representatives
now live in Washington as compared
with that usual thirty years ago, an old
resident tells an anecdote of interest
He says that at that time it was not I'M
common for very worthy members of
either House of Congress to occupy
rooms over stores. A very "swell"
gentleman was elected to Congress,
whom we will call Baker, and set up a
grand establishment here. He was
greatly shocked to find that his intimate
friend Cooper, although very rich
man, lived over grocery store, and one
day, in addressing a note to him, wrote /;
Hon. Mir. Cooper, over Smiths gro.
Gerry store" But Cooper was not to be
put down thus, so, remembering the
situation of Bakers grand house, when
he answered, addressed his letter: "Hon.

AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product Of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
effectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-cOated. they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tionS, where n mild but efFcctual
cathartic is required.
