Confidence.
In view of the fact that “confidence
should be a plant of slow growth,” and
to show the reason why, these lines are
respectfully dedicated to th§ rising gen
eration;
The eaglet, first slowly from its nest,
As yet xmfledg r d, it never wanders far,
Nor ventures yet to reach the mountain crest,
Nor yet with older birds ;to open war;
But when full fledg’d it takes a grander flight—
Screams defiance, sailing in realms of space ;
Bathes in sunbeams, while earth is wrapt in
night—
And outstrips the storm in its onward race.

“I wish he was,”-answered Pat.
“We must put away some for him,”
said she.
“Yes,” responded Pat
“But ho hardly ever eats any,” she
said.
“Its all because of old Gorbeau,” af

“I wish old Gorbeau was dead !”said
Kathleen..
“So do I!” acquiesced Pat.
“But no, Pat, I don’t; it is wrong to

“No, Doody, I don’t blame you for

:.s me—me, Doody, and father. We
ought to do something better to always
have enough for you every day,” he
answered. “It is this life, Kitty—this
lazy, good-for-nothing life that I am
getting tired of, and I mean to quit it,
so I do.”
“Oh, Pat! you do talk so queer.
What can you do?” asked Kathleen.
“Do? why there’s a heap o’ things I
can do. If it wasn’t for leaving you,
Doody, I would hire to Mr. George.
He wants me on his boat to help him
with his goods,” said Pat.
“What, Pat! And be gone up and
down the river all the time?” asked
Kathleen.
“Oh yes, it would be jolly fun for
me. And then, Doody, I could al
ways bring you something nice every
time I come, and I could get you a
bonnet and some shoes an’ stockings,
and always have something for you- to
eat.”
“Yes, but, Pat. I could not live with

the morning; and now that father i£
getting sick so often and'tis so angry
when he comes home, I had rather go ma

than to have you go away,” said Kath
leen, her sweet blue eyes moistening
with the thought
“Yes, that’s it, Doody,” replied Pat;
“I would ’ave gone away before if it
hadn’t a been for that. Poor father! I
wish he would stay away from old
Gorbeau’s.”
“It’s his troubles, Pat, that makes
him go there,” timidly ventured Kath
leen.
“Yes, I know, Doody,” replied Pat;
“but then, it don’t do Ins troubles any
good. It makes ’em worse.”
“Poor father! I wish he wouldn’t
never scold me any more,” said Kath
leen.
“Where is he now, Doody?” asked
Pat.
“Gone over the river to old Gor
beau’s, I expect,” answered Kathleen.
“And you have been here all the
morning by yourself?” he asked.
“No. Father Chalon has been here.
He has been teaching me my lesson;
and he is coming again, maybe this
evening when it gets cool,” said Kath
leen, brightening up with her intelli
gence.
“He’s a regular trump, he is—a jack
o’ diamonds, Father Chalon is, Doody.;
and I mean to lick Bill Snapp for ty
ing them crackers to his coat-tail,” said
Pat.
“Bill Snapp is a mean boy, and I
don’t care if you do whip him, Pat,”
answered Kathleen.
“Yes, I will lick him 1” said Pat.
“But where have you been?” asked
Kathleen.
“Me? I had been out on the ridge
bee-hunting, and I found a tree, and
was coming back, when I heard Miss
Ida hollar, and run to her, and choked
the dog off,” answered Pat.
“The nasty old dog!” cried Kathleen.
“Yes. But my arm is so much bet
ter. There, that will do; you needn’t
mind any more water. I will chew
some sassafras leaves and bind them to
it and it will soon be well. And then
Bill Snapp will catch it!” said Pat.
“Here, Pat, here’s some slippery elm
bark. It is better than sassafras leaves,”
cried Kathleen, running to a little elm
tree and commencing to pry at the
bark.
“Yes, it is good,” acquiesced Pat, as
he followed her. “Here, Doody, let me
get it with my knife. Here, get out
:y knife for me, and open it”
Kitty plunged her little kitty-paw
into Pat’s pocket, and drew out a rough
horn-handled Barlow, and soon a sup-
S of the cooling bark was stripped
n the sappling and chewed into a
slimy poultice, and bound to the
wound.
The precious scarf was spread over a
dogwood branch to dry the damp
blood, Kathleen avowing that it would
utterly ruin the silk to wash it
“And now, Doody, how about din
ner?” asked Pat, alter, the precious
scarf was arranged, and the sooth
ing effects of the poultice had quieted
his wound into a sleepy ease.
“Oh, there is plenty to-day, Pat,”
teerfully answered Kathleen. “There
are two whole venison hams, and a
sack half full of meal. I will go to
work and get dinner right away.”
“I will help you,” volunteered Pat
“No, Pat, you he stilL I can soon
do it,” she answered.
And Kathleen set about getting din
ner at once. And soon a crackling fire
‘Yds—if he only would,” answered
Pat; and then the simple meal was
finished in silence.
Father Chalon came that evening to
teach Kathleen her lessons. He brought
her a new book—a book of history—a
translation of Lamartine’s first volume
of The Girondist. It was a treasure to
her, almost as sacred as the scarf was
to Pat. What a priceless wealth was
theirs! Kathleen’s young mind was
as rich as the vigorous forest in whh "
it was immured. Father Chalon hi
tested its rare capabilities, and had been
surprised with the analysis—Jure,
bright, gentle.
‘“Superb!” cried he; “I-must culti
vate it.” - And the good old.priest did
cultivate it, and under the judicious
culture of his hands it expanded almost
like a thing of magic.
“You surprise me, child, with the
quickness of-your perceptions,the keen
ness of your thoughts. You hardly
give me time to present an idea, before
you have grasped it as" a plaything and
stand eager for another!” - ..^1.

Kathleen caught the book eagerly.
Its broad pages first confused, tfien daz
zled, then delighted her.
“Is it so very hard?” she asked, turn
ing the .wealth of pages with her fingers
as an idle child would have counted its
to 5%o, not so very hard. It is history,’
petite. It tells all about the troubles
of la belle France. The evil times that
came upon her, upon us as well, and
drove us away from our good homes
over there, to hide away in the wilder
ness here,” he replied.
“And didyouhave to leave your dear
old home too, like poor father ?” asked
Kathleen, in a tone of sweet pity. •
“No, I did not; but those whom I
loved had to leave, and I came with
them,” answered Father Chalon.
“And I am glad you come,” quickly
replied Kathleen; “else I would never
have known you.
“Yes, le Ion Bleu is wise, He doethall
things for the best. I can serve him as
well here as in the most sacred heart of
the Vatican,” said the priest, reverently
bowing his head.
“Ana Pat, too—and poor father; we
all love you!” added Kathleen.
“And how is your brother ? Madam-
moiselle Delzons said that he was tom
by the dog,” asked Father Chalon.
“Oh, his arm is awful bad, but it is
better now. He has just gone to look
at his hooks yonder below the spring.
He will be br ik in a minute,” answered
Kathleen.
“Oh; I see lie is coming now. Let
us go and meet him,” said the priest.
Pat, rough-natured and wild as he
was, had a reverential regard for* the
holy man, and pulled off his hat to
greet him. *
“Ah! my son, how are you ? I am
;lad to see you able to walk about. I
leard that you had been hurt again,”
said the priest, resting his hand tender
ly upon Pat’s bowed head.
“It is nothing much, only a bite on
the arm: sec here, Father,” assuringly
answered Pat.
The good old man tenderly looked
at the wound, and then, after hearing
of Kathleen’s prescription, approved it
as the very best thing that could have
been done.
“You had better keep quiet for a few
days, my son,” he continued, “and this
will only enable you to keep closer to
your-books. Never mind if you can
not ramble through the woods, so that
■ou do not neglect your books. I have
irought ma petite a new one, and you
must read it with her. You must help
each other.”
“Oh, Doody needs no help from me.
She can teach xpe ever so many things,”
answered Pat
‘But Pat helps me too, Father,” an
swered Kathleen.
‘That is right, my children: help
one another,” said Father Chalon.
“And now come in the house, and let
me hear what yon have learned this
week.”
The catechism must have been sat

murmuring to himself, “Bless the
children! what wonderful perceptions
they have!”

We hear certain cautions about'
weather which do a great deal of rgig-
chief.
'1st. You must avoid night air.
2d. You must avoid damp air.
3d. You mrist be careful to keep out
of the draft.
On the contrary, night air is a
thing. In fact, it is the only kind, of
air fiat we breathe at night Our sol
diers found it the best kind of air to
breathe at night,even down in Virginia,
and after sleeping in a wet cornfield,
with no roof over them but the "blue'
vault, rose in the morning not only free
from colds,but feeling much better than
they ever do when crawling out of their
close bedrooms at home. I have slept
by -an open window every night for
thirty-years, and find it a capital thing.
Every member of my family has done
the same thing with the same satisfac
tion.
:i. iln regard to a damp air; it may be
stated .that a moisture in the air never
hurts the lungs. If the skin be pro
tected and kept dry and warm, the air
•may not only be loaded with moisture
without any harntfo the lungs, but in
ge majority of cases with positive
benefit.
As to a draft,' it simply means air in
motion, and it may be said with truth
that there can he no ventilation without
such motion. Whether a draft is dan
gerous depends upol*fis temperature,
i .ts velocity, our dress and the state of
our health. We can’t live without a

Gartlen Walks.
features in a vfell-kept garden at spring'
and fall time, and after heavy rains, is
the luxury and pleasure of having
good diy walks, so as to be able to walk
on them at any and all times. The
most expensive, but satisfactory and
lasting walks, are made by digging out
all the soil to the depth of eight or ten
inches,then fill in with broken or small
stones, or very coarse gravel,' finishing
off with about two inches of clean
screened gravel on the surface.
The center of the walk should be
made slightly higher than the sides, so
as to throw off and prevent the rain
water from standing on the same. When
the walk is first made, it will be advisa
ble, if possible, to roll it until it be
comes packed and hard.
Those to whom it is not convenient
to use stones and gravel for the founda
tion Of their walks,may dig out the soil
to the before mentioned depth, and fill
in with coal ashes, which are generally
quite plentiful in towns and cities.
These will scon become solidified, and
will at all times be dry and comforta
ble to walk upon, and at the same time
but few weeds will' make their appear
ance, to cause trouble and annoyance
by their-presence.
When walks are designed for conve
nience, to be used very frequently, they
should be laid out as straight as poss'
ble; for, however beautiful curvealim
are, it becomes distasteful to those who
have to traverse them every day, when
the objective point could have been so
much more easily gained.
The winning beauty and grace of re
ligious bigotry is thus manifested. in
an English paper, when announcing
the death of John Stuart Mill: “The
sooner those Tights of thought 1 who
agree with him go to the same place,
the’ better will it he for hoth Church
and State. We can well spare the
whole crew of them, and shall hear of
their departure, wfiether one by one or
in a body, with calm satisfaction.”
There are fourteen thousand drug
stores in the United States, and the
five thousand.

The Farmers' Victory.
There is no doubt that the farmers’
candidate for Judge of the Supreme
Court of Illinois has been elected. The
first dispatches indicated a different re
sult, but later intelligence states that
Judge Craig, the nominee of the Gran
ges, has been elected by a handsome
najority. Judge Lawrence having de
cided unconstitutional an act prevent
ing discrimination in freight rates by
railways, the farmers determined to
turn him out of office, and they have
succeeded. The new judge is pledged
to enforce the views of his constituents,
and the railroads may well apprehend
trouble in the future. Elated with their
victory, the Granges will not be content
ith the result which they have already
secured, hut will agitate and advance
until they obtain control of the entfre

through the streets in a wagon, ahead
of the guard. On arriving at the jail
the command of halt was given, and
the prisoner" was led forth from his cell,
with a rope around his neck ; shroud on

upon his boffin in the wagon, the march
was resumed to the place of execution.
The scene was most solemn. He as

His countenance was calm, and at times
would brighten with a smile. He
seemed perfectly resigned to his fate.

respondent says:
• They found the mine 286 feet deep,
with four shafts and about 2.000 feet of
levels. It was turning out an average
of twenty tons of ore a day, but thirty
tons could be thrown out on a pinch,
with Ihe same number of workmen.
The cautious Dutchmen measured the
width of the vein and the specific grav
ity of tiie ore, and resolved it into cubic
feet. They took specimens from the
thinnest os welMhs tiie fattest streaks in
the vein, had them assayed, and then
figured up the average yield. Of
ctfurse, they kept their figures to them
selves ; but it is known that they reck
oned that there were over 40,000 tons
of ore in sight, ready for stoping with
out further sinking or drifting. At an
average of $140 per ton, this would
amount to $5,000,000.
A bargain was made upon the spot.
The mine was sold to the “Mining
Company Noderland of Hague” for
$3,0(X),000. On the day that the bond
ran ont the Dutchmen deposited $500,-

California Spokes that Spoke.
On the 26th of May, just as the steam

her landing at Point San Quentin, CaL,
a wagon drove down from the prison
with what seemed to be a box of wagon
spokes. This was soon trundled on
hoard, and set on deck end up, when
one of the deck hands heard a voice
say, “Turn the box over on its ride—
turn it on the the side.” The man sur

worth looking into, and wnen he looked
into it he found, in this box only four

two convicts who had secreted them
selves for the purpose of escape. As
the position of the box brought one of
the convicts head downward with his
companion’s weight on top of him, it

stifled. Very glad were the gentlemen
to get out and go back again to their old

The facts of the case were these:

following words: “Cover or settle De
cembers at one-half to nine-sixteenths:
buy one hundred March at nineteen,”
meaning that said Talcott & Kctchum,
as agents for Wayne, should purchase
certain cotton and effect a settlement
with the purchasers at the prices fixed
in said message. The messages was
not received by the firm of Talcott &
Ketchum until the 6th of December,
just six days after it was placed in the
hands of the telegraph company for
immediate transmission. In the mean
time cotton had greatly advanced in
price, and the order could not be filled,
to the damaged, as claimed by the
plaintiff, of $1,000.

Mexico groans to-day under the in

marauders across the Bio Grande, into
her territory, by the United States forces
under General McKenzie. For more

the cattle and valuables, make tracks
