A Terrible Sight. —Some time
since a resident of Grass Vuilev lmd
‘occasion !o go to Siskiyou county,
■na 1 while ti icelingovcr Mount Sluis
to lie saw four 1 trge California lions.
Not knowing much of their savage
characteristics, lie t-topped his horse
and gaze lat them, They Jookeil fit
him for s nne time, and then turned
and slowly trotted away. He had no
weapons, and had they been hungry,
ne would not have returned to tell his
experience. When he came to (he
stopping place that night he (old of
his adv nture when one of the le i
dents there told him thnloHeof those
lions had a short time before stolen a
child under the following cireum
siances: The mother of the child had
■occasion to do som • washing and for
-this purpose she had to go into the
inelosute that surrounded the back
door. Site lilftcel the child, a girl
about eighteen months ol i, on the*
ground, and give it some plaything
to ntmrse itself with while slid busied
herself with (he work, with her back
to tnc child. A bw minutes after
this she heard ft scream from the
■child, and turned just, in time to see a
full grown California lion leaping
over the fence with the unfortunate
child in its mouth. The mother
fainted, and no one else being near,
she lay in this condition for some time.
When she recovered an alarm was
raised and pursuit made, but no trace
could bo found of the lost child. —
Grass Va&aj Union.
A Rkminsdence or the Vicksburg
Troubles. — The Vicksburgf r of the
12th, thus speaks of old Ben. Mont
gonory, a former slave of Jeff. Davis,
now living on Davis’s Island, twenty
miles below here:
On Tuesday last, in obedience to
the command of the 1 iw-treinbling
Crosby, about seven hundred ne
groes, armed with shot-guns, 1 *ft ih
vicinity of Hnricane Island to come
to Vicksburg. They were met by
Ben. Montgomery, who confronted
them, and bade them return to their
homes, and to their business. The
old man was so determined, and spoke
to the poor deluded fools so eloquent
ly that, notwithstanding the deter
mination of some to ignore hisadviee,
all turned back, and thus was much
bloodshed spared.
If such men as old Ben. Montgom
ery were more plentiful, what a land
of peace and harmony wo should
have. What a lack of Ames, Hills,
Browns, and such vagabonds there
would bo in out gtnte. All honor to
the old slave of Jeff Davis.
-Truth will Live. —Philosophy has
some times forgotten God; a great
people never did. The sketicism of
the last century could not uproot
Christianity, because it lived in the
hearts of millions. Do you think
that infidelity is spreading? Christi
anity never lived in the hearts of so
many millions as at present The
forms under which it is professed
may decay, for they, like a,l that is
the work of men’s hands, are subject
to the clumges of mortal being; but
the spirit of truth is incorruptible.
It may bo developed, illustrated, and
applied, but it cannot decline. No
truth can pass away. The fl mie is
nndenying, though generations dis
appear. Whenever truth has started
into being, humanity claims mid
guards the bequest. Each generation
gathers together the imperishable
children of the past, and increases
them by new sons of light alike radi
ent with immortality.
Table Etiquette. —See that all about
are helped before you help yourself.
Do not eat soup from the tip of (he
spoon, but from the si le of it. On
passing your plate to be replenish* and
retain the knife and fork. Remove
the knife only in cutting the food; do
not raise it to the mouth. Eat slow
ly, rapid eating is unhealthy. If you
find anything unpleasant in yonr food
avoid calling the attention of others
to it. Close the lips y hen chewing.
Keep your elbows off the table. Do
not speak with food in your mouth.
When asked to help your neighbor do
not shove, but hand the plate to them.
Do not turn your head and stare
about the room. If any one at the
table makes a mistake take the least
posible notice of it.
Leisure without learing is
death, and idleness the grave of a
living man. It was a brave saying of
Scipio—and every scholar can say it
- that he was never alone. We pity
those who spend themselves, ami
misspent their time,in doing nothing,
or worse than nothing—who are al
ways idle, or ill employed.
fligr An Irishman was speaking of
the excellence of a telescope. ‘Do
you see that wee speck on the edge of
the hill yonder? That, now, is my
old pig, though hardly to he seen;
bnt when I look at him with my glass,
it brings him so near that I can
plainly hear him grunt.”
The difference between a tale
bearer avul sealing wax is, that seal
ing wax burns to keep a secret, and
the tile-hearer burns to t*dl one.
