Touching Devotion of a Chili
One of the most fearful eases ever
lold on paper, is this, of a little hey,
a mere child, who traveled 1,400
miles, taking care of his in all ter all
the way.
An expressman, upon reaching
his office one cold morning in Janu
ary, observed on the side-walk a
long, heavy box, which his practiced
eye at once identified as containing
a corpse. Upon the end of the box,
shivering with cold, sal a half dad
hoy about seven or eight years ot
age. Addressing him kindly, he
said :
“My lad, don’t sit there ; you
will freeze. Come in anil sit by Lite
fire.”
Bursting into tears, the little fel
low rep'ied :
“No, I can’t come. My mother
is in this box, and I promised her i
would not leave ber until we got
borne.”
Deeply affected with the touching
devotion, ot this brave little boy, lie
finally succeeded in convincing him
of the entire safely of his precious
charge, and taking him to a restau
rant, gave him a warm breakfast,
and then learned the particulars of
his story.
His lather died but a year pre
viously, in a remote village in Min
nesota, leaving his mother in poor
health and nearly destitute. 61ie

With this, money Hayward re
commenced, aud he had worked un
til it was all spent and his men were
reduced to a bag of beans for nour
ishment when to the gloom of hope
the' precious ore suddenly blazed
up: the Atnador mine was tfie rich
est in the world. When litis mine
was paying $40,000 a month, Hay
ward made over to his friend one
perfect third of it. Chamberlaine
retired upon $1,500,000, and moved
East, lo educate his children. Hay
ward buying back the whole. Fi
nally even Hayward grew tired, and
he sold out the mine to a stock com
pany -or which General Colton is
President*. The mine will make
4450,000 net this year; and Colton
said reeemlv : “The Amador mine
will hold out longer than we will.”
Vulgarity.—We commend the
following extract to the thoughtful
study of tfie young :
N rthing is so disgusting and re
pugnant to the feelings of the noble
anti good, as to hear the young, or
even the old, use profane, low or
vulgar language. The young of our
lime are particularly guilty of pro-
fdutly. In our day, it seems the
‘boy’does not feel himself a ‘man’
unless he can excel in this great sin.

Equality-
An old Scotch minister on being ask
ed to preach a sermon iu favor of equal
ity, at a time of great excitement on
that subject, said at the close of a ser
mon, in substance as follows:
You asked me to preach a sermon on
equality. Since that time I have ranged
in vision through the vegetable wotld ;
I saw ilowers of equal lustre aud per
fume, trees of unequal height and value,
but tbero was no equality there.
I passed to the animal kingdom, and
saw tho trained horses and the fierce
beasts of prey, the linnet and the hawk,
the sparrow and the eagle, the sheep
aud the horse, each occupying a rela
tive sphere.
In the sea were the mollusc and the
whale, tho dolphin and the shark, the
timid and the tierce, each properly or
ganized and doing its proper labor, but
I saw no equality.
Lastly, I entered the gate of Heaven,
and on a great throne sat the Judge of
tho Universe; cherubin and seraphim
fell before him, angels of lesser degree
did his bidding. I found seven heav
ens rising above each other, but no
equality there. I gazed on the stars,
and found “one star different from an
other star in glory;” but there was no
equality. So you see that there is no
equality in all God’s vast kingdom.
A 110YAL IRISHMAN.
HE NONPLUSES THE TRUE BLUES.
A very amusing anecdote is told of
an Irishman who hanpened to be in
Paris, while three crowned heads of Eu
rope were there on a visit to his Impe

guished persons were the Emperors of
Russia and Austria, and the King of

purpose they resolved to go incog., so
us not to be recognized by the people.—
However, in their stroll through Paris
they went astray, and meeting a gentle
manly looking person, who happened to
be an Irishman, they politely asked
him if he would kindly direct them to
the Palais Royal. “Faith, and that I
will, my boys. This way, my hearties.”
And so they were conducted to the gates
of the Royal Palace, aud the Irishman
was about bidding them farewell, when
the Emperor of Russia, interested and*
pleased, much by the genuine polite
ness of Pat, (and what son of Erin was
ever yet deficient in courtesy and po
liteness?) asked him who he was.
“Well,” rejoined their guide, “I did
not ask you who you were, and before
I answer you, perhaps you will tell me
who you be.” After some further par
leying, one said, “lam Alexander, and
they call me Czar, or Emperor of all the
Russias.”—“Indeed,’’ said Pat, with a
roguish twinkle in the corner of his eye,
aud an incredulous nod of the head, as
much as to say. “This boy is up to cod
ding rue a bit.”—“And might I make
bowld to ax who you be, me flower?”—
“They call me Francis Joseph, and the
Emperor of Austria.”—“Most happy to
make your acquaintance Frank, my
boy,” says the irishman, who thinking
he was hoaxed, and in his despairing ef
forts to get the truth as he conceived,
out of any of them, turned to the third
one, and said : “Who are yon ?”—
“They call nte Fredrick William, and I
am King of Prussia.” They then re
minded him that he promised to tell
them who he was, and after some hesi->
tation, and mysterious air of confidence,
Pat, putting his hand to his mouth,
whispered, “I am the Emperor of China,
but don’t tell anybody.”
ing account ot how the foundation
of this colossal fortune was laid is
given by George Alfred Townsend
in bis correspondence from San
Francisco to the Chicago Tribune.

A Remarkable Woman.—About twen
ty miles from the Healing Springs, in
the Alleghany Mountains, there lives a
most remarkable woman. Her name
is Morrison, but she is known all through
the country as “Miss Jennie Rucker.”
She is about sixty years of age, has ber
hair bobbed like a man’s, wears a man’s
hat, and rides a horse astride. Hunting
is her means of livelihood, and she kills
dear, bear and other game with the skill
of forty years’ experience. Not long
since she wounded a deer, but before
comiqg up with it, another hunter—a
man—had gotten to it and commenced
carving it up. The old lady expostula
ted with no avail, and finally drew a
bead on him with her rife to enforce
her “rights,” the fellow jumped behind
a tree, but left his heel exposed, at which
vulnerable spot the old lady firod and
hit. She got her deer. She has nine
or ten children, and is said to treat all
travelers hospitably who stop at her
cabin.—Letter from Bath County, Via.

don’t know. Seems to me if I looked
like you, I should be greatly tempted
to kill myself.”
An exchange asks : “TYtiy was Phil,
