MY PORTION.
BY cARLoTTA PERRY.

Very little Of gold have ],
Wealth and station have passed me by;
But something sweet in my life hold,
That would not change fo- place or gold.
Beneath my feet the green earth lies,
Above my head are the tender skies;
i live between two heavens; my eyes
Look out 10 where, serene and sweet,
At the worlds far rim the two beavens M eet.
] hear the wbisperings of the breeze,
The sweet, small tumults of the trees;
And many message comes to me
On the wing Of bird, in the hum Of tee,
From the mountain peak and the surgiug Sea
Fen silence speaks with voice so clear,
lean my very heart to hear,
And all above me, and all around,
Light and darkness, aud sight and sound,
To soul and sense such meanings bring,
/ thrill with a ,aptuous wondering;
And / know by manv subtle sign
That the very best Of life is mine.
And YET, ~ spell each message DER,

With a clearer vision, truer ear;
And pray, with the keenest Of all desire,
For lips that are touched by the altar fire.
Patience. o Soul! from little field,

With all The sacredness great Nation could

Hank Monk.
Virginia (Neu.) Enterprise.


H,ak Monk Is incousolaple. Last evening,
10 driving from Lake Tahoe TO Carson, he
experienced bis first upset in life. He left
the lake half an hour behind time (the
steamer being delayed in crossing the lake
by heavy windy, and was driving at very
rapid rate when the mishsp occurred.
He had aboard his coach as passengers
twelve arults and two children. Eight
adults were on Top of the coach and The rest,
with the children, were inside.
Among the passengers were ex-A'torney-
General Devens and daughter, Rev. 4. f..
Walker and Prof. Jack Hallman, of this ci.y'
The upset occurred ct . rough place just
thi, side of the summit. Miss Devens was
seated beside Hank when the coach went
over. Hank held to the lines like grim
dea.h, and, though going at . rapid gait,
stopped the team almost instantly, the coach
not moving foot after it went over.
As Hank arose from mother eaith be spat
out a mouthful Of dust, and mouinfully re-
marked: .as - "a
.That's the first time 1t ever happened to
me-"
General Devens said 70 his daughter:
aTbsre, you've always wanted to have a
ride with Hank Monk--now you've had it."
In five minutes time Hank again had his
coach isht side up and was spinning down
The mountain, but not gayiy. He felt sore.
He said he once upset bullion wagon, with
no one on board, but never before In his life
had he upset passenger coach.
The only thing that appeared 70 at all con.
sole him was the fact that he got through to
Carson sson time," Is he did when he landed
Horace Greeley ct Placerville. This, and
the fact that no one was huit (except few
slight bruises), was all he had with whict
| to salve his wounded pride.
His passengers rather enjoyed the AAail
after it was all over, and to The end Of theil
lives viii pride themselves on having partic
ipated ia Hank Monks finst upset.

WEATHER INDICATIONS.

Burlington Hapkeye.
It Is an easy matter to forecast the weather,
like Prof. Tice aud Mr.. Vennor IL people
will only give their minds to it. by closely
reading and studying the predictions of these
good weather-breeders we have deduced the
following rules by which they make all their
orecasts-hindcasts Of the weather are not
made until next day.
An intensely blue sky Indicates tempe
rary absence Of clouds. Under other cir
cumstances IN intensity blue sky indicates
tornado.
When woman leaves piece OF soap on
the stairs where her husband will tread on
it, 1t Is dead sure sign Of storm.
When the sun rises behind bank OF
clouds, and the clouds hang low all around
the horizon and all over the sky, and the air
feels damp, and there Is a fine drizzling mist
blowing, the indications are that there will
be rain somewhere in the United States or
Canada.
When 1t begins to thunder look out for
lightning.
When man gets up In the night and feels
along the top pantry shelf in the dark and
knocks the big square bottle without any
label down to the floor and breaks It, It Is
sign that there Is going to be dry spell until
seven or eight O'Clock In the morning.
When the spring millinery openings are
advertised look for bright, sunny weather all
around the house, with treacherous calms
and rising barometer, Indicative Of sudden
tempests and mean temperature.
When the cradle begins to vibrate with ir-
regular, spasmodic motions about one O'Clock
in the morning, look out for signals and try
to remember where you put the paregoric
the last time you used II.
When the youngest boy In the family
comes home three hours after school hours
with his hair wet and his shirt wrong side
| out, look out for spanking breeze.
To see the head Of the family feeling iu

POETRY.
I CAN WAIT.
BY ROSE TERRY,

az give thee love, rs God gives light,
Aside from merit and from prayer;
Rejoicing In its own delight,
And freer than the lavish air.
al give thee prayers like jewels strung,
On golden threads Of hope and fear,
And tender thoughts that ever hung
On sad angels glittering tear.
al give thee treasures, hour by hour,
Which old-time Princes asked In vain,
And pined for in their useless power,
And died Of passions eager pain.
" As earth pours freely to the sea
Her thousand streams Of wealth untold,
So flows my silent life 10 thee,
Glad that its very sands are gold.
"What care for thy csreIessuess?
give from depths that overflow;
Regardless that my power to bless,
Thy soul can neither sound nor know.
"Far lingering on some distant shore
My triumph comes-more sweet than late
When from these mor;:d misis withdrawn,
Thy soul shall know me-T can wait."

consequences.
Detroit Free Press.


They were always playing an insiduous
game, invented by the devil, or some Of his
followers, called " Consequences" Presnm-
ing that the reader knows how the thing Is
done, we shall only detail what happened.
Joe Smith and Missouri Brown had been
sweethearts for some time, though she never
would say yes when he asked her to marry
him. In fact she nirted with some Of the
other fellows in manner totally demoraliz-
ing to Joe. he, poor fellow, had stood it
good while, and had come to the conclusion
to bring things to focus, SO to speak, and
had spoken to his friend Tom Brown, .
cousin Of Missouri's, ON the subject. The
result was, that on this particular evening
Tom proposed the foolish game above alluded
to. The slips Of paper were prepared, passed
around, written on, opened aud read. Ths
first one was something after this order:
"Joe Smith and Lizzie Simpson--met In .
cornfield-lhey were playing the piano-he
said, my darling, love you'--she said, I'm
hungry'-the consequences were that they
fell in the gutler---and people said, ''Twere
! better to laugh than be sighing.'"
This was deemed such success that the
paper was passed around again. But this
time wicked Tom Brown, with an eye to
Joe's case, fixed things," and when the
paper was read he slyly substituted one he
had prepared beforehand. 1t was based on
4 scene that occurred between Joe and Mis-
souri, only few nights before, and unknown
to any but herself and her lover, and she
wasn't afraid he'd give 1t away. Here 10
what the substituted paper contained
"Joseph Smith and Missouri Brown--net
In the back parlor-T They embraced said,
MY darling, must kiss you'-She said, %,
Joe, you mustn't but he did--The conse-
quences were he kissed her about forty times
and she didn't squeal-And the people al
said, why on earth don't chose two fools
get married ?"
Missouri blushed, and the crowd tumbled
to the racket and howl1d. In the midst Of
the uproar the young lady rushed out Of the
room and Joe after her. She Was going right
home, she said; and she did-and Joe with
her. And although she only lived some four
squares away, It took them from Q 10 1880
O'Clock TO walk it. l: is observed that Ais-
souri, doesn't dirt any moro, from which one
\ may infer that the Consequences Of that
nights work will BE- ell right.

don't see what they want to salt claim for,
and don't understand how they do It."
"Well, you see, . hot season like this they
have to salt claim lots of times to keep It,.
A fresh claim Is good enough for fresh ten
derfoot, but old-timen won't look at any
thing but q picked claim. You know what
quartz is, probably ?"
"No,"
aWell, every claim has quartz. Some
more snd some less. You find out how much
quartz there are, and then plt In 30 many
pounds Of salt to the quart. Wild cat claims
require more salt, because the wild cats spoils
quicker than anything else.
aSometimes you catch sucker, too, and
you have to put him in brine pretty plenty
or you will loose him. That's one reason
why they salt claim.

You will probably at FIRST strike free milling

IN BRIEF.

Judge Hawley has gone to San Fran
cisco, to be absent six weeks.
Mrs. Gen. Batterman left for Tomb
stone last evening to join her husband.
Chas. d. Hines, agent for the Pacific
Coast Hotel Register Company, is in

Mercer Otey was in Carson yesterday
looking over the range where the arc
ers will contend for the Caledonian
medal.
NJ. Foster, agent for the Census

of rock to send to the National Museums
of Washington and New York.
It is as good as circus to hear a
returned excursionist get crowd of
people together and relate the miseries
of the late cheap trip TO San Francisco.
They all swear that they will never go
on another swindling excursion while
living. Next 4th of July, however,
they will be rushing again for front
seats. Ten dollars for a round trip
looks good deal smaller that forty and
in these times man will stand a good
deal for the difference.
