THEIR OWN FAULT.

The Carson (Nev.) Appeal says:
During the last few weeks a good
many outside carpenters, plasterers
and bricklayers have come into
Carson from other points and have
begun lively competition with the
resident artisans. The outsiders
who came in here said they would
not have come had they supposed
the city was already SO well sup
piled, but as they are here they pro-
pose to stay and try to get work on
the public buildings. One of these
outside men was in the office yes
day and he put the case in very
few words. He said: 1--WE looked
over the Carson papers, and seeing
no advertisements of carpenters
plasterers or bricklayers, concluded
that there were none in the city
and SO decided when work was slack
with us that Carson would be /
good place to go. When | strik,
for new town | never go where
see the advertising cards of men il
the same business with me. If
don't see their business announce
ments | conclude they are not there
and act accordingly"

BY MARY NJ. vERN.

Eimyra rests In dreamless sleep,
The solemn bell has TOLD,
The little form for wi ieh we weep
All silent In the earth lies deep, .
The warm heart $ still and cold
Her lips, once flushed. are pale and still,
Her checks have lost the rose,
Her once bright eyes that flashed her will
Are faded now, and will be till
The trumpet wakes rcpose
How sad that flowers Of fairest bloom
BY early frosts must fall,
And whitening in the silent tomb
Leave behind deafness gloom
A death shade over all.
Come hithcr, needless, thoughtless clay,
Gaze on this new dug grave.
Times restless tide thou canst not stay.
All. soon ,hou. too, must pass away
And lie la lethes wave?
Ye do not know the day nor hour
When death will claim his own,
Nor can't resist his whitening power,
When round the soul the night shades lowe
How will you then atone?
Dear departed. early pale,
0, who would break thy rest?
II IL our fate we should bewail,
On life = dark sea IN vessels frail,
While thou art anchored fast.
Farewell, loved one, in death more dear,
We, too, shall sleep till then.
We must he content to shed the tear,

SATURDAY MORNING, July %, 1873
EXCLUDED FROM "oUR SET

There is section of Washington
City society, the sternly exclusi We
set, which affects to regard with d Is
dain and aims to keep at distanc &c
the new people whom the fortune
Of political war are constantly send
ing to the front there. These Sc
verely select people assume the at
titude toward the mixed official 10
ciety Of the Capital which the
'veille noblesse" in France assume ed
toward the Second Empire crow d.
Some years ago an old dame of the
exclusive set was heard to say that
she would not receive Gen. Ora ut
into her house.
When Mrs. Cleveland became the
rage, however, the selects" in due
time thawed out and smiled upon
her, and in consideration of her
beauty and brightness and gener al
refinement they consented to over
look her "accidency" and newness
and accept her as one of themselve s
Of late, however, it is said, the Is &C.
lects" have come to regret their
generous treatment Of the young
woman, and it is probable will drop
drop her. The trouble, it seems
arises from Mrs. Cleveland's CO N
tinuing to receive as her guest and
to treat as an intimate one Miss
Katharine Willard, beautiful girl,
who possesses a voice of wonderful
sweetness, and who was a school
mate of the mistress of the White
House. When Miss Willard first
went to Washington last wiuter as
the guest of Mrs. Cleveland she
was received with wide-open arm
by society Of all grades. Along to-
ward spring society was shocked by
the announcement that Miss Will
lard had accepted a position as in
structress in local young ladies ;
school. Of course, society people
said, they would be compelled to
cease to know her, although it
would cost them no little regret, as
she was such dear sweet girl; and
Of course they thought Mrs. Clev e.
land would also cease to receive
Miss Willard. But to their dismay
Mrs. Cleveland continues to ass b.
ciate with Miss Willard just as if
the latter were not a working girl,
and actually has her now as a guest
at Oak View.
1t has been fearfully trying or
deal for the exclusiveness, but it is
said they have set their faces as
firmly as is consistent with goo d
form, and resolved that they owe it
to their sacred exclusiveness, come
what may, to drop Mrs. Clcvelan d
as we'll as her working girl friend.
