WISE WORDS.

He is not likely to be a true man who
is false to God.
Falsehood always endcavors to copy
the micn and attitude of truth.
He who can conceal his JOY is greater
than he who can conceal his gricfS.
Our happiness and misery are trusted
to our conduct, and made to depend
upon it.
Nothing is ever done beautifully which
is done in 'rivalship, nor nobly which is
done in pride.
Let lis learn to appreciate and value ut
their true price the little blessings that
come to us daily.
There arc men who love only them
selves; and these are men Of hatred. for
to love ones self alone is to hate Others.
Remember that you go grow older
every day; if you have bad habits, they
grow older too; and the older both grow
together the harder they are to separate.
Our brains arc scvcnty-ycar clocks.
The angel of life winds them up once for
all, then closes the case and gives the
KEY into the hand of the angel of the
resurrection.
Why is it that Il blessing only when it
is lost cuts as deep into the heart as n
sharp diamond! Why must we first
weep before we can love so deeply that
our hearts ache.
Nv friend is one who takes me for
what | am. \ stranger takes me for
something else than | am. We do not
speak, we cannot communicate, till we
find that we arc recognized. The stran-
ger supposcs in our stead a third person,
whom we do not know. and We leave him
TO converse with that one.

4. Pacific Coast Stage RObber.

'.Black Bart, Il noted stage robbcr,
has been captured in San Francisco. lie
is known to have 'hcld W" twcnty-Scvcn
stages since 1871, when he gave up
school-tcachine in the northern part of
California. having been removed for
playing draw poker. lie was tracked
and caught through Il laundrymanS
mark on Il handkerchief that he dropped
while fastening from the scene Of his
latest robbery. All the clothes on his
person had the tcll-talc mark. He is
over fifty wears of age. He was living in
San Francisco, and was supposed to be
a miner whose business called him out of
the city occasionally. He does not
either smoke or drink. and the proceeds
of his robbcrics have been used i'll sup
porting himself. They call him the poet
robbcr. because he has always left at the
scene of one of his exploits Il slip of
rhvmc in a disguised handwriting, signed
BLACK Bart. Pc s." He wore Il mask,
and a flour sack over his head, and an
old linen dustcr over his person. In at
lacking Il stage he sprang out and
shielded himself in front of the lead
horses. He has not taken human life.
On the contrary, he is polite, exceeding
ly so to the lady passengers. He Travelled
on foot, and got his food in ont-of-thc-
way places, and never slept in a house
that was occupied. After the robbery on
Bear Mountain he might have got a train
for San Francisco within twelve miles OF
the scene, but he walked 80 miles over
the mountains to the Carson mint to de-
bbsit the gold amalgam that was part OF
the 81. 600 that he got. The detectives,
after the successful termination of five
years of "shadowing," hurried him off to
CalavcraS county jail. His real name is

A Sale of 1900 Pictures.

. a letter from Paris says it has often
been Il mystery to the world what be-
comes of the thousands of pictures
painted in Paris during Il twclvcmonth
and exhibited at the annual Salon and
other galleries. Some explanation, at
least. is now forthcoming. There has re-
Gently died in the Rue dc Rivolia certain
VI. Bornichc, who turns out to have had
in his possession no fewer than seventeen
thousand modern pictures. NJ. Borniche
was Il retired timber merchant, and had
made a great fortune. He seems to have
been possessed by Il perfect mania for
canvas. Quantity with him went before
quality. He offered, therefore, a valu-
able market for young and struggling ar
fists, who, it Is said, rarely appealed to
him in vain. All his houses being
blocked with his multitudinous acquisi-
tions. NJ. Bornichc was about to build a
great gallery on some land near the Bou-
lcvard st. German, wherein to hang
them for public exhibition, but death In
tcrrupted the carrying out of this project.
The il, 900 pictures are now to be sold at
the Drouot. A beginning will be made
with 5000 during the winter. Four sales
are to be held per week, and $50 pictures
put up at each sale.

What different sorts of work do div

build piers for bridges, repair vessels,
tear ND wrecks. search for dead bodies,
recover things that have fallen overheard,
and do anything that is to be done under
the water"
us it IL dangerous business"
1T is and it isn't. 1t is easy for Il
diver to be- killed, and yet few do get
killed. George Seaman cut his hose by
accident while at work on the sloor
Troublcr not long ago. He died. OF
course. If ones hose bursts or gets cut
a mans gone. His winds stopped. The
hose burst on Il mar named jenkins, oil
Governors Island, not long ago, and Il
diver died in Boston il few years ago. and
was said to have committed suicide by
hansing himself while at his work.
There are fifty or sixty divers in New
York, but yon seldom hear Of an acct
dent"
.'Do whales, or sharks. or sword fish,
or marine animals of any sort, attack
divers!"
"Not in these waters. There may he
such experiences in the tropics. I've
read of such things, but we've done lots
of work ut sen around here and We have
never known of such Il thing. The Other
way IL diver might die besides having his
hose cut or burst, is by having Il vessel
roll over OH him while he is under it. but
they generally manage to get away.

GOODBYE, OLE. YEAR, GooD-BYEl
The bells ring slow, in muffled tone,

The bells ring slow, in muffled tone,
The chilling wind makes sadder moan,
The flowers are dead, and all must die
Goodbye, Old Year, goodbye!
The laughing streams run coldly now;
Storm winter reigns, with i]ce-crowned brow
Fair summer Is dead and you must die
Goodbye, Old Year, goodbye!
Once You were young, but now you're old:
Our youth can ne'er be bought with gold;
Your youth is dead; all youth must die
Goodbye. Old Year, goodbye!
Your glory came; your glory's gone:
All glory fades time breatheS upon:
All grandeur and pride snail surely die
Goodbye, Oh Year, goodbye!
You brought lis many glittering joys
That cIoyea and broke like children's toys;
Our joys you've killed. now you must die
Goodbye. Old Year, goodbye! .
You brought us much of calling grief,
But, like our joys, its smart Was brief:
II joy must die, then grief must die
Goodbye, Old Year, goodbye!
Thou vast a year Of hundred years,
OF glorious triumph that endears:
But nh as the Others. thou must die
Goodbye. Old Year. g"od-bye!
Though hrsk must die. the kernel lives;
SO doth the truth each year Ger gives.
Thou hrough'st as much that will not die
Goodbye. Old Year. goodbye!
