Profitable Chicken Raising.

There is now on exhibition in this
city the gizzard of chicken which,
when cut open, was found to contain
a specimen of gold worth 90 cents.
The gizzard was brought down from
Hurleton by several Masons to
whom it was presented by S. H.
Hurles.
!, For many years past the chicken
dinners at Hurleton have been;far
famed. Not only were there chicken
dinners, but breakfasts and suppers.
In fact, a traveller could not go near
without being asked to have a chick
en- bone. The gold in the gizzard ex-
plains the matter. Mr. Hurles has a
gold mine, which for some reason or
other he cannot work. So he raises
numbers of fowls to Craze, asit were,
over the mine. In their scratching
they pick up the small pieces Of gold,
for the glitter of the metal has a fas-
cination for the chicken.
The chickens are killed, and the
flesh of the bird goes into the pot,
while the contents of the gizzard are
panned out.-Oroville (Cal) Gazette.

A HOLIDAY.

We met. AMI swift our friendship grew
Mid pine woods fragrant, full Of bees;
With siimpses Of clear water through
And uurmuring voices in the trees.
The blue lake shoDe; the flowers were fair:
We marked not how the days passed DER.
What wonder castles in tho air
Should rise upon Lake Leman's shore?
Full Of great purposes and wise,
Your castle rose in splendor rare;
All who should help your enterprise,
Leader of men, you u.arshaled there.
And toiling millions, by your aid
Enlightened. purer, woke to see
The sunlight break beyond the shade
Of ignorance and misery.
And my moro humble castle stood
A fair oasis full Of peace,
a home in which the weary should
Find welcome and their trouble cease.
Alas. that holidays should end,
Taat cloudy castles tumble down;
The time has come. too soon, my friend,
To take our way to London town.
Back from the pino woods and the sun,
To weary days and fcggy skies,
And work that somehow must be done
Between the sunset and sunrise.
We, too, from labor not exempt.
Must part; yet friends we still shall be,
Because Of ell the dreams we drcamt
Beside Gcneva's inland sea.
