"Glad to hear il" replied the man.

The monkey grinned assent, and both

They both took much medicine, and when
they died the sores was all they left me"

The Good Time Coming.

Railway Register.
When the gauge of the southern
railroads conform to that of other rail.
roads of the country, the last vestige of
provincialism in that great section will
be swept away. The Ohio river may
seem barrier, but the bridges at Gin
cinnati, and those soon to be completed
at Henderson and Cairo, will triumph.
antly overcome the obstacle, and rail
road trains will be run solid from one
end of the land to the other.
When the south has more cotton
mills and founderies; when the coat
and iron is utilized by steel rail mills
and iron works; when the forests are
being turned into articles of export,
implements and tools; when corn and
wheat are alternated with cotton, and
clover restores the tried soil; when the
great sugar districts are all brought
under thorough cultivation; when new
railroad lines are made necessary to
accommodate the increased volume of
traffic; when gardens and vineyards
deck the plain and ornament the val,
legs; when the pastures of the Blue
Ridge are dotted with herds and focks
and when new cities spring into exis-
tence in the southeast; then will the
world understand what a glorious pros
perity and wealth is the heritage of
the south, and will soon be possessed
by it.

Josh Billings Philosophy.

he kant learn it from hiz mother, nor
the works ov God that surround him.
One ov the best evidences of our i'm
mortality IL our desire to be SO.
The infdel will ask you to prove
that the food did occur, wnen the poor
man himself kant even prove. to save
biz life, what makes one apple sweet
and one sour, or tell viii a hens egg
is white and ducks egg blue.
Unbelievers are always SO reddy and
anxious to prove their unbeleaf, that
| have thought they mite be just a
leetle doubtful about it themselfs.
When | hear a noisy infidel pro-
klaming hiz unbeleaf, l wonder if he
will send for sum brother to cum and
see him die. guess not. He will be
more likely to send for the orthodox
man who engineers the "little brick
church around the korne."
No atheist, with all his boasted
bravery, haz ever yet dared to adj
vertise his unbeleaf on niz tumestun.

The farmers of Sacramento and
San Joaquin Valleys in California are
engaged in battle with the grasshop-
pers, which have issued from the
mountains in larger numbers and with
keener appetites than last year. They
infest the foothill farms near Chico,
and in Antelope Valley, COlusa county,
they are fairly ravaging the country.
They are swarming over Amador coun-
ty, and in San Joaquin, MERGED and
Stanislaus counties the advance guard
of invasion has appeared. Ditching,
rolling, burning and other expedients
for the determination of the pests are
the order of the day.-New England
