TIIAT YOUNGSTER'S SONG.
"Yes, stranger, things baa ohaugod out
here ; 'tain't very long ago
Sinoo this big town was nothin' but the
ranoh of old 13111 Coe ;
We oiled 11 Freedom Camp, and ev'ry
Sunday all the boys
Would meet in front of old B111's tont and
make a precious noise,
There's nothin' maim, our sort of men as
happy as a din,
And ao with sheet and creak o£ gone we
need to sail right in ;
We'd fight and rams and try our strength
till half the night was spent,
And then we'd go with ouree and laugh
to drink in ofd Bill's tent.
The only one that didn't drink, or carry
on, or swear,
Was sickly, and they'd sent him bore for
Colorado air :
He was a youngster only, bub he made us
ranolimen mad
Bemuse he looked so solemn when we
anted extra bad,
One Sunday night the noise eased up and
Boon the Damp was still
As each one on us stood and watched the
moon rico o'er the hill ;
I don't know how 11 happened, but it
looked so pure and oaten,
That ev'ry ranohman dropped hie voice
and stayed his arm.
And then before a move was made, that
youngster, there by mo,
Began to sing so eat and olear, "My
faith looks up to Thee,"
And in a minute hats were off and ev'ry
head was bowed
As them old words rang true and sweet
and softened up that crowd.
I hadn't heard that solemn tune since I
was young as him,
And something swelled up in my throat
and then my eyes got dim ;
As he sung on I thought how brave he
was that crowd to fame,
Anil so I took a mighty breath and joined
him with the bass.,
Then Denver Diok began to sing, and
soon the whole rough crowd
Was shoutin' out that good old tune in
voices deep and loud ;
We hadn't pretty voices and some didn't
know to word,
But stranger 'twee the grandest thing
that mortal ever heard.
And when the hymu.was done we said
good-nightandwent our way,
And old Bill's tent was pretty well desert-
ed from that day ;
For ev'ry Sunday night we'd meet and
sing a hymn or two,
And mixin' hymns and rum, yon see, of
course would never do.
Yes, stranger, things has changed out
here ; we've got our churches now,
And you could live here all your life and
never see a IOW ;
Tho good has drove the bad away and alt
this change, you see,
Is owin' to the ohnp that sung, "My
faith lochs up to Thee."
OLD SAWS IN 1IHYIIIE.
Actions speak loader than words ever do ;
You cant eat your cake and hold on telt
too.
When the cat is away, then the little
mice play ;
Where there's it will there's always a way.
One's deep in the mud as the other in
mire ;
Don't jump from the frying pan into the
fire.
There's no use crying o'er milk that is
spilt ;
No aaouaeris needed by ooneeionoe of
guilt.
Thera must be some fire oherever is
smoke ;
The pitcher goes oft to the well till it's
broke.
By rogues falling out honest men get
their due ;
Whoever it fits, he must put on the shoe.
All work and no play will make Jack a
dull boy ;
A. thing of much beauty is ever a joy.
A half •loaf is better than no bread at all
And pride always goeth before a sad fall.
Fast find aid fast bind, have two strings
to your bow ;
Contentment is better than riches, you
know,
The devil Dude work for hands idle to do;
A miss is as good as a mile is to you.
Yon specie of the devil, he's sure to ap•
pear ;
Yon omit make a silk purse from out of
sow's ear.
A man by his company always is known;
Who lives in a glass house shouldnot
throw a stone.
When the blind leads the blind both will
fall in the ditch ;
Its butter born lucky than being born
rich.
Little pitchers have big ears ; burnt
child dreads the fire;
Through speaking the truth, lie one
credits it liar.
Speeob may be silver, bub eilouoe is gold ;
Tltore'e navor a fool like the foul who is
Old.
GEMS OI TBOUGIT1.
The weak may be joked out of any.

Every new word acquired is a feather
added to the wing of thought.

the beat may made of those that are.

To secure a contented spirit measure

A London paper awarded a two -guinea

The following are some of the defini-

The bachelor's horror, the mother's
treasure and the despotic tyrant of the
most repnblioan household.
The morning caller, the noonday drawl.
