MANNER OF PREAcHING.-A lady, re-

ing Of minister to whom she had listen
ed several times, said


81 thought it was the business Of the
minister to feed the sheep. This man does
not feed US; he only throws clubs and
stones at us, and sends us bleating and
hungry home"


Many a one might gather . useful hint
from this, as to the proper mode of deal-
ing with the flock of Christ. Harshness,
severity, fault-fnding, accomplish but lit.
tie good in the family, the church, or the
world. True, it is the pastors duty to
admonsh and robukc, to correct error and
reform sin, but always in the spirit of the
Master.

HEALTHY.-We notice by our exchanges that
a great deal of sickness prevails in the various
towns and neighborhoods of the State, of more
or less malignancy, and even this is the case in
many of the mountain towns and districts. We
are happy to state that here it has always been
healthy and never more so than now. We of
Auburn are favored people and should be
thankful that we are allotted pure atmosphere,
an even temperature, productive soil, good water
and all the surroundings that should make a
people happy, prosperous and contented. These
pleasant facts are beginning to be known abroad,

The NORTH FORK DrrCH-G. W. Reamer is
working large force of men in the construction
of the dam and the repair of this ditch which
takes water from the North Fork, near here at
Tamaroo Bar The dam is now so far advanced
as to secure its completion as well as the ditch
connecting at its west end, before the rainy sea-
son sets in. This dam was swept off by the
floods of 1862, and consequently the ditch and
country supplied by it so far as mining opera
tons We're concerned has lain idle or compare
lively so ever since: We learn that the certainty
of a supply of water has induced many miners
to locate claims along the line of the ditch and
its branches in the lower portion of the county,
and lively times are anticipated as soon the
water is let in. Some of the claims are said to
prospect rich, and all to promise remunerative
wages above water money.

Any of our reader who may have perus9C
"Hiawatha," will recognize th
closeness of the parody of style, displayed il
the following humorous dunning appeal, whicl
we find reproduced in an exchange
Should you ask us why this dunning,
Why these sad complaints and murmurs
Murmurs loud about deinquents
Who have read the paper weekly,
Read what they have never paid for,
Read with pleasure and with profit.
Read of church affairs and prospects,
Read of news both home and foreign,
Read the essnys and the poems,
Full of wisdom and instruction,
Read the table of the markets,
Carefully corrected weekly


Should you ask why this dunning,
We should answer, we should tell you,


From the printer, from the mailer,
From the kind old paper-maker.
From the landlord, from the carrier,
From the man who taxes letters,
With stamp from Uncle Samuel
"Uncle Sam" the rowdies call him;
From them all there comes message,
A message kind and firmly spoken,
"Plcase to pay us what you owe us"


Sad it is to hear such message,
When our funds are all exhausted,
When the last bank note has left us,
When the gold coin all has vanished
Gone to pay the paper maker,
Gore to pay the toiling printer,
Gone TO pay the landlord tribute,
Gone TO pay the sable carrier
Gone to pay the faithful mailer,
Gone to pay Uncle Samuel
Uncle Sam the rONdies call him
Gone to pay the Western payer,
Three and twenty hundred dolars


Sad il is to turn our ledger
Turn the leaves of this old ledger
Turn and see what sums are due us,
Due for volumes long since ended,
Due for years of pleasant reading,
Due for years of toilsome labor.
Due despite our constant dunning,
Due in sums from two to twenty.


Would you lift burden from us,
Would you drive spectre from you,
Would you taste pleasant slumber?
Would you have n quiet conscience
Would you read paper PAID FOR.
Send us money-send us money,
Send us money-sEND US MONEY;
SEND THE MONEY THAT YoU OWE Us

There is nothing that clings SO peril;
naciously to an individual rs habits ac-
quired in carly youth. The boy who
lounges away his evenings on the corner;


in the lager beer saloon, or In idle and
Improbable conversation, is laying up
tor himself store OF misery which will
plague hun the rest of his life, and the
youth who at eighteen makes the humili-
atng confession that he is alfeady, so
completely the slave of tobacco or ardent
spirits that he cannot give them up is to
be regarded with pity. Good habits &C
quired in early life are just as lasting as
bad ones The young man who spends
his evenings at home in pleasant and
profitable study, or in the company of
those from whose association he will learn
only that which is good and ennobling,
must have depraved heart and taste il
he does not become a good and useful
man. Such thoughts as these should be
ppndered well by the young men of the
present generation, so many of whom arc
wasting precious moments and hours in
worse than profitless pursuits.

DRFEAT OF THE CURRENCY BILL.


The report Of the conference committee on the
Currency bill was rejected this afternoon by an en-
phatic vote OF the House. which Is more than was
expected by those who knew that the Western men,

two branches OF Congress on the question OF the
finances has prevented them from tinkertng with the

Mrs. Rankin could make no reply,
but her tears were more convincing
than words.


The neighbors were droppingi and
offering their services, and Mrs. Ran
kin went home, and soon sent good,
warm breakfast to the family.
Perhaps no tears more bitter were
ever shed than those that poor Joe
Miller dropped upon the white brow
of his dead boy, lying in his little
plain coffin tears of keen self-ac-
cusation, as he thought that if his
family had not been subjected to
severe privations, his boy might not
have died.

she turned away from the burial

little coffin sent chill to her heart
that crushed out almost the last feel

husband, though the path of duty lay
plain before her, and she was not
one to turn aside from her own
obligations. And the contrast of
their warm, costly clothing with the
thin, threadbare garments of the
poor mourners, was a source of agony
TO her soul, from which it would have
been mercy to spare her.:


John Rankin thought he did a
praiseworthy act when he paid to
Joe Miller eight-seven cents per
cord for two hunded cords of wood,
which would have been finished at
the specified time but for the death
of the poor mans child.
