thought of looking for or demanding. There was only just my Pard and l, but the passengers would think they could see some of our men behind every tree, and we'd holler once in a while some command to the boys in the woods to be sure and hit the right ones if they fired.
 "Oh, Lordw Marshall said, with a prodigious laugh, !" it breaks me up when think of one feller who tainted dead away once. Wed just got them in a row good when this feller's knees commenced 10 knock together and he kept getting out ofline. 1 finally thought I'd scare him and the rest of them little, so hollered, pretending to be giving orders to the boys hidden behind rocks and trees:
 "' Boys, bore hole in this galoot with the light overcoat on if he moves an inch, or any of the rest of them
 Just then a big fellsr, the second one from the limber-legged chap, had a chill like, and his teeth came together with such noise that the other feller thought somebody was cooking his rife. and with wild whoop he dropped in dead faint The rest of them thought he had been shot dead. They were too scared to notice that there had been no report of a gun. We'll, we came pretty near over doing the thing that time. They all got so faint and sick that it was hard work to find their valuables. It is great con- venence to stage robbers to have the passengers hand their stuff right out.
 Speaking about weapons, why have robbed stages up in California and over in Utah without any weapons at all. You don't need any. I'll bet a tenner that can take an old-fashioned tin candlestiok and hold up the best stage that ever came over the mountains. The driver is generallysas badly frightened as any of them. He is always looking out for agents, and he sees them behind every bush. have robbed stages all alone, and made the driver and passen- gers give up their arms, their watches and money, and then dance for me. They thought had any number of pards back in the rocks, and they didn't dare say
 peep Well, of course, that's the great advantage we have in our business. We scare them to begin with, and then they see every thing double. One man is just just as good as fifty in this line. He don't need to be a hero. either He just wants little nerve and an imperious air If had always worked alone I'd have been rich man to-day, and l wouldn't | be here either. l made my great mis- take when l commenced working in partnership. It will ruin any man in my profession. If l ever get out of this scrape I'm going to jump the country The business isn't what it used to be years ago. It's too easy. There is noth- ing exciting about il any more. It makes me sick sometimes when 1 think of the tenderfeet I've robbed. I ought to have gone into the train racket long before this"

FARMER WHITE.

You may talk O the joys O the farmer An envy his free, easy life, You may sit al his bountiful table An praise his industrious wife. Fl you chopped in the woods in the winter Or follered the furrer all day With a team of unruly young oxen An feet heavy loaded with clay; Fl YOU held the old piow, m a thinkin, You'd sing m a different way. You may dream O the golden-eyed daisies, An, lilies that wear such a charm. Bai # gives me heap O hard labor To keep 'em from spilin' my farm. You may pictur' the skies in their splendor The landscape SO full O repose, But never get time to look al lem Except when it rains or Il snows. You may sing O the song birds O summer I'll tend to the hawks an the crows. You may write o the beauties O natnr', An dwell on the pleasures O toil; Bat the good things we hev on our table All hev to be dug from the soil An our beautiful bright golden butter, Perhaps you may never hes turned, Makes a heap O hard work for the wimmen II hez to he cheerfully churned An the eheeses, so plump in the pantry, Al have 10 be lifted and turned. When come from the hayfield in summer With stars gleamn' over my head, "'..en milk by the hght O my lantern, And wearily crawl into bed, When think O the work O the morrer And worry fur fear il might rain, When hear the loud roar of the thunder.

SLANG.

L. NJ Dudley. in Yankee Bladc.
 Have we any idea how alarmingly common slang expressions are becoming? We used to associate them with the street gamin, and fondly imagined that only the ruder class could or would use them, bu, we were sadly undeeeived no, long since.

 There. now, I'm melted There just wa'n't breath of air over to Cooks: and the crowd of imps ~as enough to smother one. Want il Eva?"
 Yes, should think everybody was ou, on a bust But there was a nice breeze from the fans"
 "oh. give your tongue a rest. Breeze. l should think it came right from the fur mace; and then them two flub-dubs that sat at the table with us, if couldn't talk better than they did would put my head to soak and that fellow just back of us, what sissy affair he was but tha at lady at the table on our left, want her suit just hne. tell you it was about the nobbiest thing I've seen.'

 The door had opened and middle aged woman stood on the threshold. The girl colored violently, but the habit oi slang was so strong that, almost under her breath, she exclaimed:

and thus an appetite for alcohol is insti- tuted. In tact, heavy indulger in to- bacco is filled with yearning which he can never satisfy until he strikes upon liquor. That alone contains the principle which can neutralize the hunger of a smoker and thus he is led to drinking. The effects of cigarette smoking upon the heart are we'll known. In a conver- sation with Dr. McEyitt, of St. Mary's hospital. Brooklyn, that gentleman once said: "Often and of,en l have had young fellows come to me with woeful countenanee, complaining of pains in the region of the heart, palpitation and oc- casicnal nausea, stating at the same time their fears of having contracted heart dis ease. After an examination and some questions, l invariably found that the trouble arose from cigarette smoking or chewing tobacco. The trouble was not constitutional, bun merely functional, and, upon the discontinuance of the cause, the effects disappear. Sometimes, however, while the heart affection ceases, the watery and thin condition of the blood bring on serious results.
 Digestion is also seriously affected by N'6"SeS II is WCh AuOh II fact that the smoking and inhalation of single cigarette will drive away hun ger for an hour. When used 10 a great extent in this form the eye and ear are affected and the sense of smell destroyed.
 Enough has been written here to show that the cigarette is the very worst form of using the weed. Small boys in this and other cities are contracting the habit which. in time, will fasten upon them, stunt their growth, weaken the blood, soften the brain and retard natural de- veloPment in many ways.
 There are, however, numerous medi- cal authorities who assert that cigar or pipe smoking in moderation is not injur- ious. and that their influence results in no hurtful reaction. The spirit in which the habit is referred to by the profession is not hostile one. Many of the most dangerous diseases are treated without any restrictions being placed on the pa- tient with regard to his indulging in an occasional smoke, excep; in cases where the afflicted party, by reckless excess, has kept himself in a condition of mar cotic torpor.

thing for everyone to take plunge in
the limpid waters of the Walker 1t
is truly Il delightful recreation. The
water tastes very much like the ocean
and when one gets an unexpected

of the Sundays be spent al Alameda

The temperature OF the lake is con.
siderably higher than that Of the

Of the bathing mania is the gradual
improvement that has been made in
the ladies costumes. When the season
opened the ladies were content to go
in in flannel wrappers or even robes dc
matt. Now nothing less than suit
imported from the bay will please the
esthetic dears. Lang's bath house has
proven great accommodation to the
public, and two or three private enter
prises of the kind are contemplated.
One of the pleasing features Of the
trip is the driveing through the alkili
fiat. 1t Is. about mile in length, is
as smooth and hard as floor and
covered with gigantic greasewood
bushes higher than ones head. Here
the verdure takes to itself brighter
and more vivid green than is to be
met with further from the lake, and
until one closely examines it, it is very
easily mistaken for dwarf pine. 1t is

the world. 1t abounds with rabbits
and gophirs and team seldom drives
