For the "Union."
TAKE THE WORLD AS YOU FIND TT.

Take the world A. you End II,
With its every up and down,
IL It's smiling. never mind u,
You shall shortly see Il frown.
Build up no airy castle,
Although fair the present seem,
For with sorrows you must wrestlc,
When you've wakened from your dream.
Heed not the winnings Of despair,
And guard you from his shroud,
Your star will shine as bright a. e'er
When feos the passing cloud.
There's no wisdom In repining,
Let as boldly mount the hill,
For experiences refining
Gives balm for every IN.
As the darkest hours ere morning,
etrpak with gray tho elouded eas,,
And sors fAircst when adorning
With his dying rays the west;
Ger the clouds Of grief aud sadness
Will arise the sun Of peace,
While the sunshine Of our gladness
In meridian height may cease. q.

A SADLY AFFLICTED EDITOR.

We thought everybody in the State
knew that We are deaf, bu, once in a
while we find one who is not aware of
the fact. A female book peddler came
to the Office the other day. She wished
to dispose of book. She was alone in
this world, and had no one 10 whom
she could turn for sympathy or assis-
tance, hence We should buy her book.
She was unmarried and had no manly
heart into which she could pour her suf-
ferings, therefore we ought to invest in
her book. She had received liberal
education, and could talk French like
a native; We could not, in consequence,
pay her less than two dollars for book.
We had listened aitentively and here
broke in with "What did you say -
We're deaf" She started in loud
voice and went through her iigmarole.
We went and got role of paper and
made it into speaking trumpet, and
placed one end to our ear and told her
to proceed. She nearly broke blood
vessel in her efforts to make herself
heard. She began "I am alone in this
NOIiu AtdONsh
est difference to us. We are husband
and a father. Bigamy is not allowed
in this State. We are not eligible to
proposals." "Oh, what fool the man
is" she said in low tone then, at
the top of her voice, al don't want to
marry you; want TO sell book"
This last sentence was howled. "We
don't wanta cook" we remarked bland
ly; sour wife does the cooking, and she
wouldn't allow as good-looking a wo-
man as you to stay in the house FIVE
minutes. She is very Jealous" She
looked at us in despair. Gathering her
robes about her, giving US glance Of
contempt, she exclaimed. "I do believe
that If a acknowledgements were
left off alongside that deaf fools head
he'd think somebody was knocking at
the door" You should have heard her
slam that door when she went out. We
heard that.

titled, and fish to be caught in the sea,
and multitude Of other occupations,
which require no special amount Of geni-
US, and why not turn to them for liy
ing1 II is more honorable to work with
the hands, in any honest way, than to
drop down on ones friends and eat the
bread Of dependence.
There is too much dead wood in some
Of our great benevolent societies. II is
not right they should be converted into
asylums for the support Of good men
who are competent to earn livelihood
in any legitimate way. Some OF our
life insurance Offices carry deal Of dead
wood, for which the insured have to pay
at a bitter cost. Recent revelations
show that bank in the very highest
repute may be incumbeFed with wood
that is not only dead, but rotton En-
core. There is some dead wood int.
newspaper line, and a careful purging OF
the editorial tree would not deprive the
world Of much that would be missed
This, however, is a matter that, in the
long run, takes care of itself, for the un-
readable paper soon ceases to be taken,
and dies quiet and natural death.
Most persons will allow that there is
altogether too much dead wood in the
department Of politics, and when the
Civil Service Reform gets into full ac-
tion, as il is likely to do, before long,
the air will be filed with dead limbs
and much useless rubbish,
In mid-winter, as look out Of my
window, cannot distinguish the dead
from the live wood in the tree, and in
fact there is nothing left but the grim
skeleton the leaves, and every thing
that indicated life, vanished weeks ago.
But the other night the strong wind
blew, and the next morning the ground
was covered with dead sticks The
living branches held on and defed the
storm, but the poor, rotten, dead things
had to give way. And so. it is when
any great tempest sweeps over the land
the lifeless, torpid, useless men, who in
quiet times had crept up into offices, are
swep; off; the shams are displaced, and
the real men come to the front. The
law of "the survival OF the strongest"
comes into play, and the weak are de-
throned. Great crises develop men,
and then the men shape the crises.
Dead wood is good for nothing but
to be burned, and if il has died on the
tree il is not good for much even for
fuel. 1t is hard to tell just what to do
with the dead wood in society. Hos
pi,als for the inert and inefficient would
only extend and prepe,uate the evil.

The Supreme Court has reversed the
judgment of the Superior Court OF Hum
boldt County and granted new trial in
the case Of the people against John Hur

fenced to State Prison for two years.
The indictment charged him with hay-

Russ. The Supreme Court, after allud-

tie were found in the defendant barn,
and that they were found there within
sufficiently recent period after the loss
Of the cattle to answer the requirements
of the law in that respect, says: :" But

the defendants barn sufficient to justify
a conviction. San Francisco Post.

You can find the best assortment of gentlemen's
fine calf boots and shoes at ]. G. Griggs shoe
store Waterbury, and prices all right. A fine
new lot of low-cut shoes just received.
GREAT excitement exists all over the country,
except here-and Webster wants to get up an
excitement here by selling goods cheaper. II you
don't believe it, just go and find out his prices.
Big bargains fered to reduce stock. Just look at
those plates at sixty and seventy-five cents per
dozen, large size and fine goods. Lawns at six
cents, and lots Of other goods equally low, at

FIVE thousand dollars per day. rain or shine,
Is what II costs to run the Great Barnum and
London Show, without taking into account the
enormous loss in wear and tear, the interest on
the 49, 600 capital invested and yet, its prices
OF admission are but half those charged by enter
tainments whose total expenses do not exceed
from one to two hundred dollars day. 1t would
be utterly impossible to maintain such veritable

not everybody appreciate and encourage such I'M
paralleed liberality and phenomenal emit rprise,
and thousands daily patronize Barnum, who are
never seen at any other travelling exhibitions.

THE closing reception of Professor Gouds
classes in dancing will take place at the Pavilion,
Thursday evening, July 9th. The children will
occupy the floor from eight to half-past nine,
introducing the following fancy and costume
dances 1.-THE Fairy Dance" Egyptian Tam
BORNE Dance" Baby Polka " (by company of
infant-ry), "Side-step Polka" new, etc. half
past nine to one O. clock, general dancing for all
present. The parents and friends of the pupils
cordially invited to attend being assured there
will be ample amusement for those who do not
care to dance and good music with good "order
OF dance" for the devotees Of "Terpschore."
The nature of the affair partaking largely Of an
entertainment, to avoid any confusion in dis
tinguishng those entitled to the floor from spec
tators, the management have departed from the
usual custom Of a fee per couple and fixed upon
charge of fifty cents each for adults and twenty
five cents each for children, thus permitting each
to enjoy any part or the Chole Of the evenings
