"Diamond Cut Diamond"

Crossing the Rocky mountains once,
says correspondent, saw an amusing
illustration of the hardness of corundum.
A travelling peddler undertook in the cars
to sell large diamond ring to a
miner who had made his pile "Humph,"
said the miner, after critically examining
the ring, They've got common stone up
in the diggings where I've been that'll
cut that diamond all to pieces!" eff
you'll find piece of stone that will cut
that diamond I'll give it to you," re-
piled the peddler. Cali right" said the
miner, eff / can't cut that diamond
with stone I'll buy it of you" There
upon the miner took the ring in his
hand and pulled from his vest pocket a
small piece of brown-looking stone,
similar to bit Of dark free-stone, except
that the grain was very fine, and with
this he proceeded coolly to cut and
scratch that diamond" with several
ugly-looking gashes. A group of pas
sengers that had gathered about the
miner were amazed, but while they
snickered the peddler with his diamond
withdrew discounted. ''That little
piece of brown stone, explained the
miner, is piece of corundum that ]
got In the Rocky mountains, and it's the
best diamond tester in the world. IT
won't scar a genuine diamond, but it
will everlastingly cut up piece of glass
or quartz"

Hoe Out Your Row.

One day lazy farmer boy
Was hoeing out the corn,
And modify had listened long
To hear the dinner horn.
The welcome blast was heard at last.
And down he dropped his hoe;
But the good man shouted in his ear:
Ny boy, hoe out your row."
Although a "hard one . was the row.
To use plowman's phrase,
And the lad, as sailors have it,
Beginning well to 'haze,n
" can," he said, and manfully
He seized again his hoe
And the good man smiled to see
The boy "hoe out his row.
The lad the text remembered long,
And proved the moral well,
That perseverance to the end
At last will nobly tell.
Take courage, man resolve you can,
And strike vigorous blow;
In hte's great field of varied toll,
Always "hoe out your row."
