HIGH PRICES.

Ny father was in California during
the great gold excitement of 1913 and
1S49, and I have often heard him tell
about the high prices charged for ev-
erything in those days.
Gold dust was at that time worth
s12 an ounce in money, or from $15
to $16 in trade at the mining camp
stores, and I have heard my father
relate how he once paid 1925 for a
suit of clothes which he would not
have thought good enough for every
day wear at home. He paid $50 for a
flannel shirt, $50 for a pair of shoes,
1926 for hat, $40 for pair of coarse
trousers, and $75 for a poorly made
and ill fitting coat and vest; worst Of
all, he had to pay 81 for a comb and
SIS for a tooth brush.
On the other hand, he one day
found a nugget Of fine gold weighing
ten oun ices in the sandy bed of a
stream and on the same day he 'span-
ed out" ten ounces of gold dust, MAX
ing total yield of twenty ounces, or
$24O worth Of gold in single day. He
had three companions living in his
tent with him, and it had been a day
of prosperity for all of them, each of
them, each of his companions having
''panned out' as much as $3.50 on that
day, and one Of them came home in
the evening with nearly thirty ounces
of gold dust in bottle in his pocket.
The men were SO elated that they
thought they would have something
in the way of a treat for supper, to
take the place of the fapjacks and
bacon which was their usual fare. One
of the men went to the store, and
paid $50 for box of sardines, SIS for
a can of peaches, and $25 for can of
oysters. He also paid So for tin pan
in which to stew the oysters; SO their
little treat in the way of a supper cost
them $78. At that same time they
paid 1925 for a barrel of of mess pork,
a part of which they discovered was
unfit to eat. But the California mer-
chants of those days never took any
thing back, and the men had to make
the best of their bad bargain.

Judge Not.

How do we know whose hearts have vilests sin?
How do we know?
Many, like sepulchres, are foul within,
Whose outward garb is spotless as the snow,
And many may be pure we think not So
How near to God the souls of such have been,
What mercy secret penitence may win
How do we know?
How can we tell who sinned more than we!
How can we tell?
We think our brother walked guiltily,
Judging him in self righteousness. All,
we'll!
Perhaps had we been driven through the
hell
Of his untold temptations, we might be
Less upright in our daily walk than he
How can we tell?
Dare we condemn the ills that others do?
Dare we condemn?
Their strength is small, their trials not a few
The tide of wrong is difficult to stem,
And if to US more clearly than to them
Is given knowledge of the great and true,
More do they need our help and pity too
Dare condemn?
God help US all, and lead us day by day
God help us all!
We cannot walk alone the perfect way,
Evil allures US, tempts US, and we fall,
We are but human, and our power is small;
Not of us may boat, and not q day
Rolls DER our heads but each hath need to say
God bles us all!

The youth approached the father
with more or less trepidation.
So, said the old gentlemen, after
the case had been stated, you want to
marry my daughter?
Not any more than she wants to
marry me, he replied hedging.
She hasn't said anything to me
about it.
No, because she's afraid to.
Aren't you afraid sir, more than she
is said the father, sternly.
The youth braced up.
Well, perhaps 1 am, he said, but as
the head of our family, I've got to
face it and set the pegs, and the old
man smiled and gave his consent.

The American black bear has an
appetite that may be appropriately
termed elastic. He will kill thous
and pound steer or capture the tiny
geld mouse for a meal with equal in
difference. If a pig or sheep is not
handy to his reach he will dine on a
colony of ants or a nest of wood
grubs.
He will feast on dainty birds eggs
or sweet stores of wild honey and on
the foulest carrion with like gusto.
He will fish for the savory trout, but
at the same time snap any warty toad
or Shiny lizard that may happen along
his way. He will seek the lucious
wild plum when it has ripened or the
wild grape among the branches
where the vine chambers and bears its
fruit, but will not miss the opportuni-
ty to make food of any snake that
may lie in ambush there for birds that
come to peck at the plums or grapes.
The bear has a comprehensive palate.
There is scarcely thing in the ami
NAL or vegetable kingdom that will
not tickle him.

A Brave Man Wins a Medal and a WO-
man Finds a Prize.
They Will Both Interest You and Tell
You just What You Want to Know.

A most fascinating story to us from
Montpelier, VT, concerning Mr.. Wallace w.
Noyes and his wife, prominent people of that
city. Mr. Noyes TO sht all tlrough the war
with distinguished bravery. He was in the
battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold
Harbor, Petersburg, Winchester, Cedar Creek
and others.
He was wounded April I'd, 1855, at Peters
burg. He is one of the few privates who have
government for distinguished bravery. He
stood on the W. ii of the fort at Spottsy1vania
in the bloody angle, and was the only man
that lived in that spot Mr.. Noyes was
wounded seven days before the final surren-
der, and up to that time never lost a day dur
ing the whole war, he enlisted when II years
of age.
His wife had equally inter esting exper-
fence. We give it to readers in her own
words expressed in the following letter.

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA.

1t would seem from the account Of
this extraordinary work that there
was time when the Chinese possess
ed a most remarkable persistence and
were masters of what is even now one
OF the greatest wonders in existence.
The great wall was recently meas
ured by 1r. Unthank, an American
engineer engaged on a survey for
Chinese railway. His measurement
gave the height eighteen feet. Every
few hundred yards there is tower
twenty five feet high. The founda-
Mr.. Unthank brought with him a
brick from the wall, which is supposed
to have been made 200 years B. @. In
building this immense stone fence to
keep out the Tartars, the builders
never attempted to avoid mountains
or chasms to save labor or expense.
For 1900 miles the wall goes over
plains and mountains, and every foot
of the foundation is of solid granite,
and the rest of the structure solid
y
built smooth up against the bank or
crosses a precipice where there is
sheer descent of ZOO feet
Small streams are arched over; but
on the larger streams the walls run to
the waters edge and a tower is built
on either side. On the top of the wall
there are breastworks or defences
facing in and out, SO that the defend
er's forces can pass one tower to an
other without being exposed to an
enemy on either side.
To calculate time of building or
cost of this wall is beyond human
skill. So far as magnitude of the
work is concerned, it surpasses ev
erything in ancient or modern times
of which there is any trace. The
Pyramids of Egypt are nothing COM
pared with it, I have heard Cinnamon
in California tell all about it, but
scarcely believed their stories.

THE LADY IN GREEN.

Father L., an itinerant in South
eastern Ohio, was wont, upon occa
sion, to tell the following incident of
his ministry: II was serving the
church at NJ, and we were in the
midst of a revival. We were holding
afternoon services daily, seldom with
out seekers at the altar. At the close
Of such a service, one day, had, as
usual, shaken hands with the people
at the door, and turned, when all
were out, for my coat and hat, when
1 discovered lady, clad in green, still
kneeling at the altar. Between the
waning light Of approaching evening
and my falling eyesight I had almost
overlooked her. Evidently, she
meant to stay until she should find
peace; and, of course, 1 could not go
away, and leave her there alone. I
went forward, and, kneeling at her
side, offered first silent prayer for
guidance, and then an audible prayer
in her behalf. I then asked her if she
would not pray aloud for herself, if
only word. She made no response.
I asked her next if she would not open
her heart and tell me her difficulties;
but again she was silent. After wait
ing sometime for her response, saw
she was very timid creature, and, in
order to reassure her, took advan-
tage of the liberty of age, and laid my
hand soothingly on her shoulder. 1t
was Michael's fiddle!u Michael was
young man who accompanied the
choir on Sunday with a cello, and
left it IN green cover, leaning
against the chancel.
