Nevada County picayune., 1888-11-21

Workmen in the stone quarries of- ten find very hard kind of ruck. They pick little grooves for the iron wedges, and then with great sledge- hammers drive and drive the wedges into the ilinty rock. And yet once in while they fail to divide the sol i'd mass. The iron wedges are re- moved from the narrow grooves. Then little wooden ones of very hard fiber are selected. The sharp well-made wooden wedges are first put into water. They are then in- serted in the grooves tightly while wet, and water is kept in the grooves and no sledge is needed to drive them. They would break under the severe blows of the ponderous ham mer. But the workmen just let the wedges alone. They'll do what the driven iron failed to accomplish How SO! The damp wood sSells, the particles must have room to en- large, and the granite heart of the rock cannot stand this silent innu- cnce. In little while the solid rock parts from top to bottom, and the worklnan's will is accomplished. It is so, often, in other things, What noise and visible effort failed to do, some quiet power, when applied will surely accomplish. Teachers may remember this fact in mechan- ics, and manage some very stubborn natures by the application of the si- lent forces. The iron and sledge- hammers often fail, but tears. pray CTS, and a patient example never fail. Anonymous.

Printers Exempt from Disease.

Owing to the dust arising from type metal, and the tendency of the compositors to lean over the case while at work, it has been frequently asserted that the printing business is not conducive to long life. This is Q mistake. There IS scarcely any indoor occupation, when care as to enting and drinking is observed, that is healthier than that of printing. During Yellow Fever periods in the southern States, they were singular ly exempt, and this has also been the case in the Cholera epidemics which have recently occurred in various States in South America. Recently the Cholera prevailed in Chili. caus- ing great mortality among the peo- pie, yet out of one hundred mem bers of the Typographical Union of Valparaiso, not one member had been attacked. In the visitation of Yellow Fever in the fifties in Ala bama and New Orleans, the printers were the last to leave their post of duty. On one occasion the writer passed through Montgomery. Ala hama, where a compositor on the Alabama State Journal was the only white inhabitant in the plague strick- en city. As we were then returning to New York. we had to either pass through Cholera at Nashville and in Virginia, or go through Yellow Fever at Mobile or New Orleans, we didn't tarry in the city; but on returning next season, we tried to make the acquaintance of this brave typo, but found that he had from some other aiment "closed his take" and pass ed that bourn from whence there is no returning. During the recent ep- idemic in Florida, we have heard of but very few printers among the vic tins, but they have stood noblv up to their post of duty.- Primers Sta toner.

How to Get Along.

Mir. Vanderbilt pays his cook Sl0, GOO a year, my boy, which is great deal more than you and earn-or at least it is a great deal more than we get-because he can cook. This is all. Presumably because he can cook better than any other man in America. That is all. If Monsieur Sauce-and-Gravy could cook tolera- bly well. and shoot little. aa,, speak three languages tolerably wei, and keep books fairly, and sing some, and understood gardening pretty well, and could preach fair sort of sermon, and knew some thing about horses. and could tele- graph d little, aud could do light DOT ter's work, ank could read proof tol- erably well, and could do plain house and sign painting, and could help on a threshing machine. and knew enough law to practice in the justices courts of kickapoo town ship, and had run for the legislature, and knew how to weigh hay, he wouldn't get Sl0,000 year for it. He gets that just because he knows how to cook, and it wouldn't make a cents difference in his salary if he thought the world was flat and went around it's orbit on wheels. There is nothing like knowing your busi- ness clear through, my boy, from withers to hook, whether you know anything else or not. What's the good of knowing everything? Only the sophomores are omnisclent.- I Burdettc in Brooklyn Eagle.

Prayer should not he made with out reconciliation. If it is foolish to speak unadvisedly with our lips before men, how much more before God! It is not amiss now and then to write out ones prayer in full. This was Dr. Chalmers habit. as it also has been the habit of many oth- CT good men. The chief advantage of it is that it leads to the avoiding of stereotyped phrases and liNcd forms of utterance. Many a maa wno thinks he is praying eXtempote is really running in the grooves which has been cut h.. the habit of years, and repeating by rote the requests that he has already presented to God a thousand times. - Anony

 Poor Alice i'd not finish her break fast, bu, stole away from the pres ence of her too exacting parent and wept. Not on, had her father evin- ceG his stern opposition to her lover, hut had revieJ hin. That was too bad !
 "What can he have agalnst--Rob- ert z" sine sobnrl.
 Alice Warden had a lover. an in- dustrious and energetic young man than whom no' q in the neighborhood gave brighter promise. The two were very much devoted to each oth. CT. Hi4 name was Robert Ogden not Jack Carpenter. There was a misunderstanding

So it was Jack Carpenter he meant when he war d her against that fellow. but 9 naturally thought it was Robert OGden,

 When a dist,at clock struck ,, her nervousness w,5 heightened, and she onlte trembleG when she saw hn- man form app ar on the top of the garden wall ai.l descend into the
Nevada County picayune., 1888-11-21

The form then boldly approached the building, and stood almost under the window. Alice, dear." ascended from the form in a cautious whisper.
 Yes, Robert ,"-for the form was Robert Ogden's. The valise came flying down. He caught it between his hands. while his nose was highly instrumental in aeerting it's momentum.
 Alice unfolded the mysterious par eel. It was a rope ladder,
 As instructed, she threw one end from the window and fastened the other to the bedpost. Then she climbed out into the moonlight.
 Be careful, love
 Yes. darling.'
 Alice was unnerved.
 Hurry, dear,' said Robert. who stood nervously clutching the valise.
 She did hurry-too much. She missed her footing and her hold both at once, uttered scream and ap- preached the ground like a meteor.
 Robert dropped the valise and caught her. He broke her fall but nearly broke his head. In fact, the momentum was so great that both fell to ground in heap.
 Hurried footsteps. voices and con- fusion were head in the house.
 Flee, Robert, flee" she cried
 And leave you? Never,"
 They had barely regained their feet when the back door flew open and Mir. Warden rushed out, four ishing a revolver, He was followed by Mrs. Warden.
 "Oh, father," Alice cried, ''kill me, but spare him,'
 "You're a dead man. exclaimed the angry father.
 Alice and her mother both screamed.
 MT, Warden" said Robert. "you may kill me, but you shall not tear Alice from me. love her and she is mine throughout all ctcr- nity."
 He stood in the moonlight, mo- bier picture than Ajax; Alice sprang before him to receive the fatal bull let, if need be; but the sharp re- port did not split the night air.
 Mir. Warden lowered his revolver and took step forward, with every expression of astonishment,
 "Why-why, l declare."
 "Whats" asked Mrs. Warden.
 Alice and Robert stared at the old gentleman with wonder.
 This isn't the fellow :" exclaimed MT. Warden.
 "Isn't who?' exclaimed Mrs. Warden.
 Why, it isn't Jack Carpenter"
 "Well. who said it was, father!" asked Alice, whose perceptive pow CTS were suddenly awakened by the truth.
 Mrs. Warden stared at Mir. War den. He stared at her, Then they all stared at the young people.
 Robert Ogden began to see that there was some mistake.
 Why, father" said Alice, "did you think it was Jack Carpenter?"
 "I-l-ycs," stammered MT. Warden,
 Alice now laughed outright.
 With a rapidity of thought for which women are remarkable under some circumstances, she traced the whole blunder from beglning to end, and 1t struck her as charminely lu- dicrous.
 "Why, thought you meant Rob- ert when--'
 "No-no-no.' interposed Mir. Warden, whose eyes were also opened. Why, Rob Ogden, my dear boy, haven't the slightest ob- jection to your character. never knew you were beau of Alice's.'
 "Oh, father!"
 Alice's bashfulness began to re- turn.
 A pleasant laugh went round.
 "Come in,' said Mir. Warden, cordially Kansas City Star.

Arkansas Abroad.

Mir. H. $. Rodman writes of the Arkansas exhibit at the Kansas City exhibition as follows:
 ''Despite the efforts of the com bined county displays of Missouri and Kansas, or the task of Texas. none of them are enabled to equal the Arkansas exhibit as whole or in any specific detail. Nothing but conmendation is heard on every side, and the crowds who come re- peatedly to investigate the fruits, are numbered by the hundreds. Kan sas, Nebraska and Missouri farmers finger long, come again and go away impressed with the resources actually but little understood of Arkansas. This display is tastefully decorated, neither money nor time being spared to make it attractive, and it's entirety is inviting, impressive and carries a feeling of soIidity, as well as state pride. It is regarded by the man agement of this exposition as the crowning feature in industrial dis plays, and take pleasure in taking the capitalists, investors. and repre- sentatives of other states who come here, to the Arkansas exhibit and showing them through it. It must he remembered that the Arkansas exhibit is on the main floor and not in the galleries now. This exhibit is worthy of q journey alone, and would make the heart of every Arkansian swell with pride to see his state in competition with much advertised Kansas, whoopedup Nebraska, bragged-on Texas, and purified Mis- souri, and yet stand out in bold re- lief, undaunted and knowing no op- position. l."

There is no more sacred spot on earth than home. The oftener the word is repeated, the more endeared it becomes. It is not in the melody of the song, or in the beauty of the words, that the great charm of Home, Sweet Home" consists, for both are simple and void of brillian- cy or poetical genius. Measured ny ordinary standards, the song would have perished long ago were it not that the mention of home finds re- sponse in every heart, and either brings mp happy recoilections of the past or awakens hope for the future.
