And see thew ten or eleven wretches packed in one wagon, that the poor staggering herse can hardly draw." "Wretches ? Them are all Christians, mum, going to the carap mee5ing." —A schoolmaster recently informed anomalous mother that her sons were so thoroughly disciplined that they were as quiet and orderly as the very &lairs m the school room. It was prpbably because they were cane -bot- tomed. —Fresh oustomer : "I'm surprised to Bee how quietly you stand the silly criticisms and objections of that shal- lOw-pate& cad who has just left the shop." Merchant: "Oh, my good sir, in our trade we always make allowance for dapties." —A physician stopped. at the shop of a country apothecary and enquired. for a pharmacopmia. "Sir," said the apothecary, "I know of no such farmer living about these parts." —Somebody says: “I never saw a sick man yet who didn't behave like an overgrown baby, or inspire all in the house to pray for his speedy recovery or his early translation. —A. lady who rouged very highly in- ' quired of a gentleman, under the plea of indisposition, how he thought she looked. "I really cannot tell, madam," he replied, "unless you uncover your face." —A lady asked her doctor if he did not think the small bonnets the ladies wore ha.d.a. tend.ency to produce con- gestion of the brain. "Oh, no," replied the doctor, "women who have brains don't wear them." "What makes your cows so cross ?" asked an old lady of her milkman. "Aly cows cross! What do you mean, madarct?" "Why, as your milk is al- ways sour, I thought the cows must be a cross lot." —Kankakee has a Justice who beats them all, in the way of doing up a job of matrimonial splicing with neatness and dispatch.

What is trigonoraetry.?" "Trigonom- etry," replied. Charles, toying with an invalid moustache, "is a—a—is the science of pulling the trigger, of course." 111 thought so," said Josephine, resum- ing her novel." —When Dr. -M , an eminent Church of Scotland divine. visited the Paris Exhibition, an Irishman came running up the street, crying: "Och, blessingon ye, Dr. M . How are yes? “I'm very well," replied the doc- tor, rather dryly. "And when did yez come to Paris ?" "Last week. But how do you came to know me ?" "Give me ashilling and I'll tell yez." The doctor, curious to know how the fellow found his name out, gave him the shil- ling and was answered by the Irishman: "Sue, then, I saw your name on your umbrella." A Chmek of Gold. _ A Miner's Ezperience in Awtralia. One day while I was at work in the drift one of our party, who was bailing the shaft, said : "There's something big happened up above, Torn; I hear a great buzzing, and shouting." Perhaps its a fight," I suggested as struok my pick into the soil and un- earthed a nugget as large as a walnut. - " Perhaps it's a find'," suggested ray mate. "There's a find here," I said, as I crawled out of the drifts and exhibited the nugget we had just taken out. Then I heard the clamor also; it was like the murmur of distant waves. We shook the rope, and receiving no answer to our signal concluded that something impor- tant had. happened, as our mates above had evidently left the windlass. A mo- ment later a shadow appeared above, and Bill's voice was heard shouting: "Come up, boys, and see ta big find." "Where is it ?" I asked, on reaching ,the surface; but I scarcely needed to ask, for it must be where the crowd was collected, some fifty yards distant from our claim. The crowd was laree, and every moment increasing, but b being brawny and broad shouldered, I pushed ray -way through iteand was almost overwhelmed with astonishment at the sight which greeted my vision; it was- n't a nugget, it was a boulder. No won- der that the miners were excited. The Spectacle was enough to excite the most phlegmatic individual that ever breathed. It was a. solid mass of gold as large, or larger than a leg of mutton, and not unlike one in shape. This was the mass that has since become widely known as the Welcome nugget. A fac simile of it may now be seen in the Mineral department of the Boston Mu- suem of Natural History, where the weight is given at 2,166 ounoeS, and the value as $41,822.70. The further infor- mation is imparted that the nugget is the largest piece of gold ever °found. This is an error. A larger nugget was found at Beudigo lead on Feb. 3, 1869. It weighed 189 pounds, 1 ounce Troy, or 2,269 ounces. I had been mentally congratulating myself ou the discovery of a nugget as large as a walnut; but the sight of this mass at gold took all the conceit out of Inc. -Nevertheless I was glad. that the nugget had been found, fo the claim from which it was taken was right in the direction in which we were work- ing, and our claim was daily growing richer in ore. The Welcome nugget, as large as it was, did not enrich its finders, for there were twelve shareholders in it, and it brought them less than a thousand pounds apiece; it would have been a lucky find for a .couple of mates. The man who dug it oat fainted dad away before he unearthed it. When his pick first struck it he put forth his hand to pick up the lump; the light • from his candle shone upon it andrevealed its nature. To his surprise it did not yield to the touch. Then he began to feel around it with his hands, and it grew in size under his exploring digits:- He gave it a wrench, bat it did not budge. Seizing his pick he began to dig around it, and as its proportions grew under his eye, the spectacleovercame him, and he fainted from joy.—Saei Francisco Call. . • The 'Ettoys, Pride in his Father. The Rockland COUTier is responsible for the following: • "There were two men got into a fight_ in front of the store to -day," said a north End unix at the supper table, and I can tell you it looked pretty hard for one of them. The biggest one grabbed aecart-stake and drew it back. I thought sure he was going to knock the other's brains out, and I jumped in between them." The family had listened with rapt at- tention, and as the head paused in his narrative, the young heir, whose respect for his father's bravery Was immeasur- able, proudly tema.rked : - "He couldn't knock any brains out of you, could he, father ?" The head of the family gazed long and earnestly at the heir, as if to detect evidence of a- dawning humorist; but, as the youth continued with great in- nocence to munch his fourth tart, he gasped and resumed his .supper. • The Romance of Penny Postage. It is strange, but true, that a love affair should have developed the pre- sent syetem, of postage stamps. But "Love rules the camp, the court, the bar," and why not the post office ? Sir Rowland. Hill, who died last week, when on one of his philanthropic and discovery tours through England, stopped one evening at a north country inn. While sitting with other travel- lers warming himself at the kitchen fire, the postman brought -in the Mail. Among other persons who received a letter was a kitchen lassie. She took the letter from the carrier, turned it over and over in her hands, looking wistfully a.t it all the time, and at last handed it back to the postman, re- marking: "I have no money t�pay the postage on a letter from India." Row- land Hill steppeclforwarcl, and said: "I will pay the postage rather than have you deprived of the pleasure of a letter," and handed her the , required sum,' which she received with evident grati- tude and surprise. After she left the kitchen another traveller said : "That is her game; she kuew all that was in that letter froui certain marks on the outside.. It was from her -sweetheart in India, and be- fore he went off they agreed upon some signs by which she was to learn if he was well, prosperous, and when coming home, and when a letter is br6ught to her she examines the out§ide and knows all that she wants to, but makes that excuse in returning it. 'Mr. Hill went in search of the girl, and by adroit questioning found -his fel- low traveller's guess to be correct. The girl also showed him how she 'de- ciphered the signs, telling him at the same time that she was too poor to pay the postage, and thee was the reason that she and her los er had agreed upon this' plan. From these feats Mr. Hill itiferred that the Governraeat must annually be defrauded by such artifices of large sums, and he began planning it system of stamps which would secure to the Government a certain postal revenue. The present postal system is the result. • Good and Bad Manners. It is generally admitted that nothing makes -society so pleasant as good and easy manners. Society -is composed_of persons of different tastes, habits and peculiarities, and in order to avoid jars and unpleasantness much taste is neces, sary. There are some common faults that might be corrected to very great advantage, 1. Undue familiarity. Strangers have no right and it shows very had manners for them to accost one in a way that only intimate friends should. Slaps on the back4unches in the ribs, pulling and hauling about, the use of your Christian name, etc, these are not only very fool- ish actions, but disagreeable to the vic- tim of them. .2. There is also much impoliteness in speech. Such inquiries as "How's your girl," made in a rough manner are ex- tremely rude, not only to the party but to the young lady herself. Respect for ladies is one of the marks of a true gen- tleman, and a gentleman is one who has gentle manners. 3. It is most needless to say that every species of mocking is rude, and every allusion to personal _defects. A cross-eyed man, a lame man, one who stutters in his speech, in short every one sufferings/bfrom a defect has feeling. It wouldbe rude to ask it lame man to take off his crutch, to steal the ear -trumpet of a deaf man, or ask to borrow the spectacles of one who is near-sighted. 4. In company every one should do his best for the general amusement. If I you can sing, sing without pressing; if you can declaim, do so. But it is ex- ceedingly rude to ask those to sing who are well-known to have DO voices and who do not wish to sing. 5. Secrets should not be communicat- ed in company: If you want to tell a secret to some one, do not choose your time when company is present. It is hardly necessary to say that every at- tempt to raise a laugh at another's ex- pense (in an ill-natured way) is the very height of rudeness. The boors who in- dulge in this pastime should not be tol- erated in civilized society. 6. As in company no one should be expected to do more than his share in entertaining the rest, so no one should make himself too conspicuous. A lively manner is always agreeable, but boister- ous conduct is hy no means to be fanci- ed. We hiild always remember the proprieties o$ time and place. What may be quite pleasant to a young girl may be very disagreeable to an older one, and what is suitable for the mar- ried is not for single people. It must be allowed by all that in taci. —which is a fine sense of what is pro- per to be done and said—the ladies far exceed the masculine sex. They make it more of a study. It is very seldom that you find a lady deficient in either tact or manners. Even those whose occupations are of such a nature as would not tend to produce good man- ners frequently are pleaSant in every re- spect. A Sentimental Flame. About throe years ago the Observer reported the case of a citizen in this county who, having married in 1843, lighted a fire on his hearthstone-ae soou as he carried his bride to his new home, and had'kept it burning, ever since. The citizen was in town- yesterday, and, be- hiebquestioned about the matter, said that the fire was Still burning, and. that through all these 36 years it had never been allowed to go out.. Questioned.as to whether or net it made the house un- oomfortably hot in :torrid weather, he said the extra, beat thus generated was not perdeptiblo. In reply to another question, he said that in summer weath- er, when it was necessary for comfort's sake to keep the fire burning very low, he had to get up frequently at night to replenish it slightly, but that he count- ed this as nothing when he contem- plated that fire going out. He had evi- dently formed for it a strong attach- ment', and yet one would not take him for a sentimental man. But this fire is to him a constant rereinder of the day when he first brought hoine his bride. Around it his children have grown up into manhood and womanhood, ahd their children have gazed into its light. It was the last. light that fell upon the eyes of his wife, and he he hopes that it will be the last that will fall upon his. Viewed thus, his sentiment in the mat- ter can be understood, and so strong is this sentiment that with the old man it amounts almost to a' passion.—C7iar- lotle (N. Y.) Observer. • An Ipapecn-ni ous Rajah. Mr. Fawcett; the blind 'member of Parliament, protested, in view of the sorry financial plight of India, .against any increase in the allowance—$200,- 000 tee 0250,000. a year—made to the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh. This prince is the descendant of Tippoo Saib, and was brought over to England to be educated, chiefly to get him away from a "Babes in the Wood" kind of . Uncle. He was bred a Christian, took very kindly to British soil, and has al- ways been reooanized by the Queen as loyal, and treatbed with great considera- tion. Preferring Eugland to India, he bought • from the Earl of Albemarle, Elvedon Hall, Norfolk, p, Splendid sporting estate, which he has. devoted to game preserves ona scale never be- fore attempted. In this pursuit he has exceeded even thelimite of his splendid allowance, and now asks for more, which, in the terribly depressed con- dition of India, he is not likely to get. His jewels are said to be worth some 2,000,000, so that if the worst comes to the worst, he can struggle on by their sale. The Maharajah is an amiable man of forty, and bears an -excellent character: He is married and has chil- dren. The Private of the Buffs. BY 510 FRANCIS HASTINGS DOYLE. This ballad refers to the case of a soldier of the East Kent Regiment, named Moyse, who was executed in 1866 in China, for refusing to .perform " Kotou to the Emperor, or as he ex- pressed it---" he wouldn't knock his head to any Chinaman alive." The English Government demanded and ob- tained satisfaction for his death. Last night among his fellow roughs, He jested, quaffed and swore, . A drunken priyate of the Buffs, Who neyer looked before. To -day beneath the foeman'S frown, He stands in Elgin's plae,e, Ambassador from 13ritain's crown, Ana type of 11 her race. Poor, reckless, rude,,low-born, untaught, Bewildered, aud alone, , A heart with English instiuot fraught, He yet Call call his own., Aye, tear his body limb from limb, Bring eord, or mete or flame, Ho only lmows that not through him Shall England come to shame. Fair Kentleh hop -fields round him eeeraed, Like dreams to come and go, Bright leaves of (sherry blossoms gleamed, One sheet of living snow, The smoke above his father's door In grey soft eddying hung; einet he then Vetch it rise no niore, Doomed by himself so young. Yee, honor calls I—with strength like steel He put the vision by; Let dusky Indians vhine mid kneel, An English lad must die, . And thus with eyes that would not shrink, With knees to man unbent, lInfaltoring on its dreadful brink To his red grave he went. Vain mightiest fleets of iron fraafied, Vain these all shattering guna, Unless proud England keep untamed The strong heart of her sons; So let his name through Europe ring— A man of mean estate, - Who died as firm as Sparta's king, B0001160 hill soul wae great. A. Question Frill of Philosophy. A Washington young lady of the ma- ture age of six, propounded the follow- ing question to her aunt the other day. It was after the story of the Creation and the Fall had been related, and the young lady had been meditating for some time on the moral of it, when she suddenly broke out with: " Auuty, after Adam and Eve disobeyed. God, why didn't he kill 'em and begin over again ?" It is not impossible that the question has occurred to, older people. Enjoy Life. What a truly beautiful world we live in! Na - ane gives us grandeur of mormtains, glens aud 'oceans, aud thousands of means for enjoyment. •We eau desire no better when in perfect health; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, discouraged and wor- ried out with disease, when there is no oceasion for this feeling, as every sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory proof that Green's August Flower Win make them as free from disease as. when born. - Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint is the direct cause of seventy-five per cent. of such maladies as Bil- iousness'Indigestion'Sick Headache, costiveness, Nervous Prostra tion,Dizziness of the Heal, Pal- pitation of the Heart, and other distressing symp- toms.
