He PAID IN PENNIEs.--In speaking of the
legal tender qualities of money, gentleman
related that several years ago there lived near
Tarentum, an old man of rather vindctiye
disposition. He had no objection to paying a
debt if he thought he justly owed it, but il be
was not dead sure on this point he was hard
to manage. a neighbor by the name of Pot
ter brought claim of 500 against him,
which he refused to pay. Suit was entered,
and Judgment obtained. There being no
way out of it but to pay, the old gentleman
came down to the city and spent several days
gathering up old fashioned copper cents until
he got enough to pay the bill. Putting the
10000 :. coppers in sacks, he loaded them
into wagon, drove to Mr.. Potter's store, and
dumped them on the floor. Their legal tender
quality being unlimited, Potter had to take
them. The storekeeper was ever afterwards
known as " Copper Potter"

WHAT "TA-TA" ORIGINALLY MEANT. For
several years American photographers have
been Using this old Southern expression,
"ta-ta as a term of humorous farewell,
thus giving 1t a meaning entirely different
from that 1t started out in life with. No one
who was ever petted, loved and spoiled by a
kind old black "mammy" can ever forget
that " ta-ta," in baby dialect, is " thank you"
or, to give an exact definition from unwritten
vocabulary, ''thanky." To-ta" belongs
exclusively to the little ones it is as pecu,
liarly their as are "catty cats'' and this slit
tie pig went to market and all those other
wonderful things belonging to the child life
To the great world 'sta-ta" is nothing but
ludicrous expression, but to macy Of us
there's something half touching, half coniical
in the Quaint old words that bring back so
wildly the days when we planted rsisin seeds,
rode stick horses, believed in giants, knew
that the fairies were hiding in the ferns and
that pots of gold were awaiting us at the end
of the rainbow! d sasal -s.

A HoT WATER RIvER.--The great Sutro
tunnel, cut to relieve the celebrated Comstock
mines at Virginia City, Nevada, of the vast
quantity of hot water which is encountered in
them, affords an outlet to 12, 600. tons every
twenty-four hours, or about 5000, 900 gallons
Some of the water, as it finds its way into the
mines, has temperature of 1920, while four
miles from the mouth Of the tunnel the. tenn
perature ranges from 1860 TO 1866. To obvi-
ate the Inconvenience which won Id arise from
the vapor. such vast quantity of water
would give off, the flow is conducted through
the entire tunnel, four miles, in tight flume
made of pine. AT the point of the exit the
water has lost but seven degrees of heat
Sixty feet below the mouth of the tunnel the
hot water is utilized for turning machinery
belonging to the company from whence il is
carried off by tunnel / 100 feet in length
which serves as water way. Leaving the
waste way tunnel the water flows to the Car
son river, mile and half Distant This hot
water is being utilized for many purposes.
The boys have arranged several pools where
they indulge in hot baths. The miners and
others use it for laundry purposes, and ar
rangements are being made whereby thou
sand acres belonging to the company Is to be
irrigated. 1t is PROPOSED to conduct tile hot
water through iron pipes, beneath the surface
of the soil near the roots of thousands Of fruit
trees which are to be planted, and in similar
manner give the necessary warmth to num-
Der Of hot houses to be used for the propaga-
tion of early fruits and vegetables.

POETRY.
ONLY A sMIbE.

Only smile that was given me
On the crowded street one day
But II pierced the gloom of my saddened heart
Like sudden shnbeams ray.
The shadow Of doubt hung over me,
And the burden Of pain bore,
And the voice OF Hope, l could not hear,
Though listened Ger and DER.
But there came rift in the crowd about,
And a face that knew passed ny,
And the smile caught was brighter to me
Then the blue OF a summer sky,
For 1T gave me back the sunshine,
And scattered each sombre thought
And my heart rejolced in the Kidding warmth
Which that kindly smile had Wrought
Only smile from q friendly face
On the busy street that day
Forgotten as soon as given, perhaps,
As the donor went her way.
But straight to my heart IL went speeding
To gid the clouds that were there
And found that of sunshine and lies blue SIX les
also might take my share

ROSES "A Though the roses, like man,
other highly7respectable modern families, can
not claim for themselves any remarkable an
tiquity-their tribe is only known, with
certainty, to date back some three OF foul
millions Of years, to the tertiary period Of
geology -they have yet ia many respects one
Of the most interesting and instructive his
tories among all tho annals of English plants.
In comparatively short space of time they
have managed to assume the most yafied
forms, and their numerous transformations
are well attested Cor us by the great diversity
of their existing representatives. Some Of
them have produced extremely beautiful and
snowy flowers, as in the case with the cult
vailed rosss of nnr gardens, ~an MS VIA
the dog. the sweetbrers the may, the
blackthofn, and the meadow-sweet of our
hedges, our copses, and our open fields
Others have developed edible fruits, like the
pear the apple, tile apricot, the peach, the
nectarne,. the cherry, the strawberry, the
raspberry, and the plum, while the others,
again, which are less serviceable to lordly
man, supply the woodland birds or even the
village children, with black berries, dewber-
ries, cloudberries, hips, haws, sloes, crab-ap-
pies, and rowenbcrries. Moreover, the var
ious members Of the rose family exhibit al
most every variety OF size and habit, from
the creeping silver weed which cover our
roadsides or the tiny alohemilla which
peeps out from the crannies of our walls,
through the herb-like meadow-sweet, the
scrambling briers, the shrubby hawthorn and
the bushy bird-cherry, to the taller and more
arborescent forms of the apple tree, the pear
tree, and the mountain ash.--BeLgra0ia. +

a store where the clerks are ladies' and he
doesn't know exactly what fc wants 10 buy.
lady clerk has such way Of utterly crush
ing man and making him realize his ignor-
ance. We wanted enough cotton to pack a
set of jewels in a box some two inches square
The cotton was set out to purchase. We had
an indefinite idea that we could get II at a
big variety store on fremont street, and we
drifted around that way. But when we got
there aud looked in, we didn' have the nerve
to enter. It was crowded, and we didn't
know which way to turn after we got there's
and we felt that we should get lost there, and
altogether it was no use. We wouldn't do 1t.
So we went round to fremont row and
finally found store that was comparatively
quiet, and thereswe entered and explained to
the best natured looking saleswoman that We
wanted some cotton batting. She said they
had it for fifteen, twenty and twenty-five
cents We said we'd take the best and away
she went. Soon she returned followed by d
boy with roll of cotton about the size of
beer cask. That was handed to us. We
gazed at it and concluded that 1t was more
than we needed for the jewelry box We,
said to the lady: Madam you are mistaken
We don't desire to get up a corner In cotton,
we don't run a burlesque troupe. What we
want is about enough cotton to ill a box two
inches square, Several lady customers over
heard us and looked at us and the roll of cot
ton. And then they kind of snickered and ]
tho clerk looked at as with glance of con-
temptuous pity that was worse than the
laughter Of the customers We finally got
the cotton and fed from the store but we had
got to feeling soannoyed and mortified that
we didn't get over it all day. Aud we rather
enjoy shopping, for man, s8 - 81

History OF TWENTY RuMsELLERs. A
writer in the American Messenger says:
''DurIng period oftwenty-five years from
the year 1880 to 1855, the writer remembers
twenty individuals who were, at one time or
another, engaged in the business of selling
liquor, at or near little village in South
Carolina. OF that number, fifteen failed in
business, either while selling or afterward. =
Five have died from the excessive use of ar
dent spirits, and six Others were addicted to
occasional e&cosses, and have also passed
away. Ten of their sons fell early victims to
the appetite and I'LL drunkards' graves, while
nine others have at different times been adj
dicted to drunken spfees, and arc in the
Utmost danger of falling before the same
dreadful habit. Ten Of their daughters are
or have been married to drunkards. Three
of their SONS are idiots or imbeciles, and there
are other indications which, to close of OBJ
server, call to mind the denunciation of Holy
Writ, 'Woe to him that gveth his neighbor
drink, and makest him drunken also.' .
