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 do with old G:tldbrtua heartiness ; your best i” 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.

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.

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.

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. Gatcsville, Texas, is excited over the appearance of an immtiusc ouiang-out- ang in its vicinity. The animal is des cribed as being about seven feet high, and covered from head to foot with a thick coating of hair. Its eyes shine like fire, and it boasts of a double row of murderous looking teeth. W hen last seen it had in one hand a large crooked stick, and under the other arm a young calf, apparently just killed. A hunting party has been orgarized to capture or kill the monster. An Elmira editor went to a drug store to get a dose of morphine and was re fused by the clerk. He demanded : “Do I look like a man who would kill myself ?” Gazing at him steadily for half a moment, the clerk replied : “I 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, Sheridan made an LL. D.?” It was be cause there happened to be a college in Chicago with fools for a faculty.
