Where the Moosatockmsgunttc Pours its water in the Skuntic, Met, along the forest-side, Hiram Hover, Hnldah Hyde. She a maiden fair and dapper, He a red haired, stalwart trapper. Hunting beaver, mink and skunk, In the woodlands of Squeedunk. ’bv.’ “Gath er yarhs for chills and fever. When a lover, bold and true, Only waits to gather yon J" “Go,” she answered, “I'm not hasty; I prefer a man more tasty ; Leastways, one to please me well. Should not have that beasily smell.” “ Hanghty Huldah.’’ Hiram answered ; “ Mind and heart alike are canrcred ; Jesi look here I these pelti n-s give Cash, wherefrom a pa<r may live. “ I, you think, am but a vagrant, Trapping beasts by no means fragrnnt; Yet—I'm suie its worth a thank— I’ve a handsome sum in bank.” Turned and vanished Hiram Hover; And, before the year was over, Huldah, with the yarhs she sold, Bought a cape against the cold. Black and thick the furry cape was; Of a stylish ent the shape was ; And the girls in all the town, Envied Huliiah, np and down- Then, at last, one winter morning, Hiram came, without a warning ; “ Either,” said he, “ yon are blind, Huldab. or you've changed your mind. “ Me you snub for trapping varmints. Yet you take tire skins for garments; Mince you wear the skunk and mink, There’s no harm in me, I think. “ Well," said she, “ wo will not quarrel, Hiram; I accept the moial. Now the fashion’s so, I guess I can hardly do no less.” Thus the trouble was all ever Of the loved Hiram Hover; Thus he made sweet Huldah Hyde Huldab Hover, as his bride. Love employs, with equal favor, Things of good and evil savor, That which first appeared to part, Warmed, at last, the maiden’s heart Under one impartial banner, Life the hunter, Love the tanner. Drawing from every beast they snare Comfort for a wedded pair. Atlantic Monthly. ARE VI A THRIFTY PEOPLE, tenderness of his son, Mr. W. C.

Aug 15 1871. 3 lyeow One of the institutions of which the cultivated Georgian must ever be proud is the Georgia Historical Soci ety with its handsome building, its library and its interesting collection of MSS. and antiquities. Whoever visits the noble ‘‘Forest City” of our sea board, would do well (if he possesses cultivation and taste) to pay his re spects to the Hall of this Society, and to add something to its already line collection, if he should have aught in his possession suitable therefor. This institution owes its origin to the en- lighted public spirit and elegant cul ture of Rev. W. B. Stevens, I. K. Tefft, Esq., and Dr. R. D. Arnold but little over thirty years ago. Among the several publications of the Historical Society, none can excel in interest or in beauty of mechanical Tunnelling the Straits of Do ver.—On the loth of January, a com pany was registered in London under the title of “ The Channel Tunnel,” for making a trial shaft and driving a driftway on the English side of the Straits of Dover. This is in the inau guration of an attempt to carry out the much talked of tuunel to connect the “fast-anchored isle” with France. It is expected that one of the two lines will be chosen. M. de Gamoud, a French engineer favors a route from Cape point, near Folkestone, in Eng land, to a spot a little eastward of Cape Grinez in France, while Mr. Law, an English engineer, advocates a line from half a mile west of South Fore land to a point four miles west of Calais. It is presumable that the ex pense will be the great obstacle to en counter, as the mere question of the practicability of tunnelling under the Dover straits, has been abundantly demonstrated in several of the mining districts on the English coasts. At Whitehaven, the workings extend for three miles under the sea, iu a direct line, and are connected by branch tun nels. Some of these are situated from eighty to two hundred and forty yards below the bed of tho sea, but many are at much less depth. Geologists are almost universally agreed that the channel of the Dover straits was form ed by the simple washing away of an isthmus, and there will be no disloca tion of strata to be encountered. The cuttings will be through gray chalk, except at the end of the line proposed by M. de Gamond, where the forma tion is of green sand. It is calculated that two tunnelling machines, work ing without intermission night and day, one from each end of the project ed tunnel, would complete a driftway —an experimental tunnel—seven feet in diameter, in a single year. Any es timate of the cost of the tunnel must execution the recent volume entitled “Wilde's Summer Rose.” Nomorecu-l^ e ^o a certain extent conjectured : rious and interesting chapter in the I but it is thought that it could be coin- literature of any people—no rarer gem 1‘i^tetl in five years, and for five million Grovewood First Class School.

Perusing the volume before us, we sigh that the elder Disraeli did not survive to make from it his most interesting chapter of “The Curiosities of Literature.” We are sure that the thanks of the pub lic are due to the Historical Society for preserving these incidents while the accomplished prime-mover in the mystification yet survives to explain the innocent intent of the practical joke that unexpectedly jeoparded Mr. Wilde’s claim to the authorship of the poem. The translation of Mr. Wilde’s ex quisite little poem (whose proper title, by the way, is “ The Captive's Lament”) into the Greek was effected by Antho ny Barclay, Esq., for many years Brit ish Consul at Savatmah. It was, as Mr. BarclHy explains, “first designed exclusively for a few friends” who were discussing a charge of plagiarism then current in regard to the poem. Mr. Barclay, oue forenoon, translated the English poem into Greek. At the uext meeting of “the few friends,” the Greek verses were produced and alleged to be one of the few fragments of Alcaeus which have descended to Modern times. To Mr. Barclay’s sur prise the bait was swallowed; and against his wish, the Greek verses long afterward found their way into print, creating much learned discussion in the periodicals ot after years. This little volume contains a very “learn ed” article on the subject, ventilating Mr. Wilde’s alleged plagiarism, in the year 1834; which article quotes from a communication to a New York pe riodical of the day beginning “ We wish to pluck the stolen laurels from the Honorable Plagiarist of Georgia,” &c. This brought out Mr. Wilde, then a member of Congress, iu self-vindica tion, and Mr. Barclay in explanation of tbe innocent joke which had mud dled the bead of the leading journal of American literature, as the “assu- macy” of the “North American Mag azine” led it to consider itself. The explanations then given, clearly set tling the crown of buys on Mr. Wilde’s brow, and various other papers of great interest connected therewith, equally honorable to both Mr. Wilde and Mr. Barclay, make up tbe con tents of this curious publication of the Historical Society. The evidences of scholarship aud authorial ability of Mr. Barclay af forded in this volume lead us to regret that he has not achieved something greater in the world of letters. We rejoice also to know tuat the promise of Mr. Wilde’s spring-time ot letters has been followed by maturer produc tions—works which do not in this era of flashy and prurient literature at tract general attention, but which are read and appreciated by a few, at least. His Hesperia, published in Bos ton twenty years alter his death, is truly an American poem. The work was left in MS. at the time of the poet’s death in New Orleans; and the filiaL pounds. Calculations based on the revenue derived from the present modes of transit to the continent, and the extra trallic that would arise from the improved means of travel, show that, at a very moderate estimate, the revenue would be .£320,000 per an num. This project to tunnel twenty- two miles under the ocean is a most stupendous undertaking, and the Lon don Times says : “ Though the argu ments, facts and conjectures of the ad vocates of the work have much plaus ibility, at the same time there hangs over the project an element of extreme uncertainty, which only actual trial can dispel.” Two millions sterling are required for the experimental drift ways, which is not a large amount, when the magnitude of the work and the rich reward to follow success are taken into consideration.—uVew York Com. Adv. Life in the English Universities. —The ‘ chum system” does not exist in English universities. Each student has separate apartments in the college, whore he is required to reside, consis ting of a study-room of good size, ana a sleeping room. In the newer col lege structures a third room is added as a pantry or storeroom. Students breakfast and lunch in their own rooms and dine together in the college hall. Under these hulls are ample kitchen arrangements, and the dinner is pro vided by cooks under a regular con tract system, with a prescribed bill of fare. Tiie room-rent, board, and tui tion of the student amount at tbe min imum to eighty pounds a year. This does not iyelude the pay of the private tutor, which is at the rate of ten pounds per term for three terms and twenty more for the vacation, if the student remains to study. A private tutor under the English university sys tem is considered iudispensable. The college expenses, therefore, may be stated at one hundred and ten pounds as the minimum in American colleges. This, of course, does not include cloth- iug, traveling, or incidental expenses, nor the expense of the five months’ vacation. . . . Tljp English university system is widely different from our own. It supposes the student has passed through a good share of the curriculum ot our college course in preparatory schools. It is a system of lecturing and examinations; deals with the philosophy of literature aud lan guage, science and art; with criti cism, and practical applications of knowledge. This 'work is done by the professors and the college tutors. [ The Churchman. — Atlanta nejjroas have become so pious that they refuse to cook on Sunday. They have no special scrapie about robbing a ben roost Saturday night. Large bows of ribbon or velvet, with a large buckle in tbe centre, are worn at the back of tbe neck of silk or street costumes, with long or wide ends which reach bslow the waist. Tbe Bond Committee, consisting of Messrs’ S’uimous.

I An innooeut looker on waa fatally shut, pparent inability middle class, people to make a little go a great way. I will venture to say that ninety.nine out ot every hundred American families on limited in comes throw away, fritter away and misspend in buying things that they could as well do without snd in paying exorbitant prices for those things and for others, as much in one year as would sup port decently a Continental family of the same size. In Europe the English are acknowledged to be the most extravagant nation, but Americans may bear off the palm in that respect from every nation on the face of the earth. And in the end, what have they to show for their lavish expenditure 7— They have neither the solid comfort of the English nor the airy elegance uf the French in their houses and dress I am an American- I say this pre- meditatively- I mean it. 1 have had occsaion to learn something about what I am talking of in all the three countries mentioned. The grand excuse of our model American for bis reckless expenditure, his bead over-heels-way of of going at things, is that he “hasn't time.” He never has any time for painstaking He is bom in a hurry, educated in a hurry .is always in a hur ry on the street. In short, he lives aud dies in a burry. He always undertakes to do abont three times as much as he can possibly get through with —it is the nature of the animal—and the conse quence is that he usually does nothing well.— Others have to come after him and finish up what he has left undone. It is not want of strength, nor want of capacity, not want of courage, oor want of means. No! tbe rock upon which he splits is simply an imagined want of time : or, rather an inability to calculate fairly just bow much time is needed iu which to do a certain thing. In this respect he is always imagining that he can get two feet into one boot and split one minute into two. You’ll see him running after a street car as if hia life depend on getting into it, although one will bo along in leas than two min utes. And lie thinks nothing of risking a plunge into the river in a mad race after a departing ferry boat, or of putting hia life iu danger by springing aboard a railroad train while it is in motion. All this because be dosen’t want to wait five or ten minutes longer. Rather than do this, he risks his life several times daily. And you talk of economy to a race like this, to men and women who would rather do anything in the world than wait and take things easily ! Economy goes with a leisurely habit of life.— To be economical, time is required above all other things. And it is simply because we cannot or will not afford the time, that we are not an eco nomical people. To rush into the neatest store upon your route aud buy what you ate in need of at a cost of a third more than if you has! gone out of the way to get it, is in many cases a saving of time, according to oar notion, and this is the way in which the money goes. We haven’t time to hunt up just what tvii; suit us a* to tbe price and quality. We are at tho mercy of all with whom we deal. They in turn are at the mercy of oth ers, and nobody is beufited. The resalts of this chronic state of being in a burry are to be seen iu high prices and poor ware—bad food and worn out stomachs—in houses that are only pnt up only to tumble down over our heads—in terrible railroad and steamboat disasters. It is the cry everywhere. There is no time for that, nor for that, nor for the other thing We worry through life to death, in which alone, for the first time, we rind rest. What is the u-e of preaebiug economy to such a people 7 The defect is in our national character and in our way of life- We shall never be economical until we have a proper idea of the value of time, health and money, and a better appreciation of the dignb ty cf leisure ; until we learn to understand that display and luxury are not necessaty to happiness, and (bat the middle state in life is often tbe must desirable.—Howard GLYNDON, in 1 he New York Evening Mail. How to Live Long.—They live longest, as a class, who lead calm and even lives, mentally and physically; who are most exempt from the turmoil and shocks and strains which are in cident to human existence, and who are assured of to-morrow’s bread— There is no one thing, aside the bless edness of an implicit reliance on the Providence of God, which has such a direct influence in promoting longevi ty as an assurance, felt to be well grounded, of a comfortable provision for life, for all the wants of our station. Not long ago a man died in a poor house in England, where he had been taken care of for i inety years; he had no anxiety for to-morrow’s bread; he had no quarter’s day to provide against in default of which wife and children would be turned into the street from the doors of the elegant brown stone mansion. He had no notes to meet in bank, which if nut paid by a day and an hour would involve protest and fi nancial ruin. Ah, this load of debt, how it grinds one’s manhood to powder; it agonizes the sensitive heart; how it shames a man’s honor ; it has driv en to desperation, drunkenness, to su icide, to murder ! How the anguish of it takes the energy and health ot a man. and makes him pine and languish for weary days and weeks on beds of thornB, which pierce him through the body, into the soul! So, one way to avoid sickness and premature death is to avoid debt as you would the devil. Robbed and Black Jacked Himself. —A queer story.—The Philadelphia Telegtap\ has the following. On March 15th, an item appeared in the Telegraph setting fourth the fact that Wm. P. Wei- ver, ticket agent of the Pennsylvania Cen tral Railroad, at their depot in West Philadelphia, had been black jacked by robbers, who entered bis office while he was asleep on a louuge, and then robbed the 6afe of $1700. He was so badly in jured or reptuted as being so that be lay iu bed for a week, and no oue but his physician or nurse was allowed to see him.The case was entrusted to Detective Joshua Taggart, who at once set patient ly to work to unravel the mystery. A- bout a week ago tbe young mau left tbe house, and then heard it rumored that he was suspected of having robbed the safe and then black jacked himself. This so worked on bis mind that he attempted to commit suicide by taking laudamuin, but tbe physicians saved him. Mr. Taggart pressed the matter home to Weaver, who finally confessed that be had stolen the money and then knocked himself inseus- ble with a blajk jack. He told where the money was, bat gave no reason for this remarkable performance of a man turning burglar and assassin upon himself. The Negro’s Simile.—An «ld ne gro named Pete, was very much troub led about his sins. Perceiving him one day with a very downcast look, his master asked him the cause. “ O massa ! I’m sich a great sinner !” “ But, Pete,” said his master, “ you are foolish to take it so much to heart. Y'ou never see me troubled about my sins.” “ I know de reasou, massa,” said Pete; “ when you go out duck-shoot ing, and kill one duck and wound another, don’t run after de wounded duck?” “ Yes, Peteand tbe master won dered what was coming next. “ Well, massa, dat is de way wid you and me; de debbil has got you sure; but as he am not sure of me be chases dis chile all de time.” ETISi “Can this be Richard Rawlins 7” said Hal Ver- ner, after the two men had atared at each other for a full minute. “I am almost ready to swear that j yen are my old friend Dick.” •’Hifcht/Hal- I am Richard, and I cannot won der that you nearly failed to recognize your olJ classmate in the man before you. Fivjj year* work great changes in a man.” “Yes, Dick, that is true. There has been a good many changes in my career, and time has lett its impress on my self.” “The fates must have dealt kindly with you, Hal. for you look not a day older or graver than when I saw you last.” “Graver ! why should I look graver 1" answer ed Hal. “I have 1 fared quite as well as I deaerv ed. You know that when wo parted five years since, it was with tbe determination on my part of roving for a few years. Well, I have roved. For the first year, on this continent, and then in Eu rope,until my return,about twelve months since. I will now enter iuto particulars, but I must tell von that I now live in New York, and that I have just come to Chicago on business. On my return, I aoi to marry the loveliest girl in all the world.” “I ought to congratulate you, Hal, but my own sorrows overshadow every other feeling. It is but a tew weeks since I told a friend wbat you have just told me, and now I am desolate. Bnt come bom* with me and I will tell you abont it'” “As soon as tbry had reached Rawlins’ comfort able parlor at his hotel, be began his story : “No matter where or what 1 was the first four years of our separation, it, was only last summer that existence really began for me. I went to Newport to spend a lew weeks of gaiety, for you know. Hal, that pleasure was my object in lite.— I had been there but a few days, when, one after- noou, I was listlessly watching the bathers as they appeared on the beach, and while thus engaged I saw among them the loveliest creature I bad ever beheld. Her giriish face was beautiful as a dream and her little form was attired in a most bewitch ing little bathing robe. As sho passed me on the beach my eye caught hers for oue instant, and that glance thrilled every fibre ef my being. I breathlessly watched her as she entered the wattr. Farther aud farther she went, until I felt on the point of rushing alter her and bringing her back to safely. Suddenly her beautiful hands were thrown wildly above her head, and sho shrieked for help. I rescued her, while all present seem- ed paralyzed by the accident. I reached the shore with my precious burden without aid trom any one, and bore her to tbe nearest hotel. It proved to be tbe one at which she, with her mother, was stopping. The accident and rescue furnished roe a passpoit to her society, and 1 soon became her daily companion in walks and drives, but sho could not be induced to again try bathing. When my Angie left Newport with her mother to retain to Chicago, it was with the understanding that 1 was soon to join them. The follow ing week I was with them. She loved me. and at an early day we wero married. Iwishljcould linger over the few weeks of blissful happiness that followed. We waa stopping with Angie's mother and the only oth er member of the family was a young man,a distant relative, who wished to make bis home with them. One day business called me to Detroit, aDd would detain me two days. Angie could scarcely part with mo so long. Judge of my auguisb when I returner and was told that my wife had not been seen siuce the afternoon of my departure. That was three weeks ago, and from that time to this we have found no trace of her. My first thought was of the lake, and my fears were strengthened by her mother, who told roe that Angie had twice before had fits of mental aberra tion, when she feared that her darling might at tempt to take her own life. Since then, I am ever tortured with tbe thought that she is calling to me- from the cold wateis of the lake to save her. Ev ery effort has been made to find her, but of no avail. She is lost ! lost 1 lost ! “Mrs. De Grow, her mother, is wild with grief about her.” “Mrs. De Grow 7” cried Hal. What ! Angie De Grow 7 Did you marry her 7” “Yes, yes ; did you know my darling 7 answer ed Dick. “Know your darling ! I knew Angie De Grow. I married her myself a year ago, and three months later we were divorced.” “Iu inycy, no jesting on this subject.” “I was never more iu earnest in my life - ” “And do yo i mean to tell me that what you have just said is true 7” “True as the gospel.” A curious look of wonder, perplexity, and chag rin passed over the couutenanca of Dick Raw lins. “Now,’ said Hal. “did you really credit the ‘mental aberrnlion’ theory, so much in vogue in such cases 7 Where was the 'distant relative' about tbe time of your angel's disappearance 7” “He has not been seen since. I suppose he went in search of her.” “Of course, and in a few months probably an other tit of ’mental aberration’ will cause her to be searched for by some one else. But Dick, lay aside the mask : I know you are too old a bird to be caught with chaff. Why do you adopt the sui cide theory, and play the woeful 7” “Well, to tell the truth, Hal, a man doesn't feel so deuced mean if his wife commits suicide, rs he does if she leaves him for another fellow. As to her previous life, I am rather glad to learn of it, tori have always had some twinges of conscience for having married her, unsuspicious as she was, of the existence oi the wife 1 left behind me.” ‘O if that is your history,” said Hal, “I will risk your heartaches at this exposure. But what about tbe wife you mention 7” “Let me see,” mused Dick, “I married her about two years ago, down in Boston. Last sum mer I went to Newport, while Lily went with her uncle to New York ” “Lily ! What was her other name 7” cried Hal. “Lily Wilrr.ot’” “Not the daughter of Judge Wilniot, of Bos ton.” “Yes, daughter of Judge Wilmot, of Boston, though I suppose she still bears my name.” “Lily Wilmot.' cried Hal’ “why she is my Lily, the girl I am going to marry. You are only tell ing me this in revenge.” “Ail right, Hal, you can marry her, but miun, I Dover heard that there had been a divorce in our family. So she assumes her maiden name, does she 7” O, the wicked creatures, to deceive us so,” cried Hal. “Yes,” said Dick, “but yon may have her, old friend. She is as free as I was to marry again.” I don’t want her. O, my Liiy—but I won't hsve her. Go back to her yourself, Dick, the in triguing creature, to deceive me so.” Yes,” said Dick, “that is true ; but how did she feeljabout the first Mrs’ Hal 7” “She never heard of that.” “I should say, Hal, that you and I are beaten at our own gamo. Don't you think that we arc alt about ittn l —La Muille. Mark Twain a* Eaiilar-in-t bier. Mark Twain, in his new volume “Roughing ft,’’ givesthis experience as local editor ot th i Yirgiutn City, Nevada, Daily Enterprise, and incidentally credits the “leadiug writer” ot a daily journal m a manner as rare as it usually is deserved. In ti e case mentioned Mark had tired of his labor as lo cal editor. He says: 1 wauled variety oi some kind. It came. Mr. Goodniau went away fur a week aud left me the post of chief editor. It destroyed mo. Tbe first day I wrote my leader in the torenoon. The sec oml day I had no subject, and put it off till eve ning, and tb n copied an elaborane editorial out of the American Cyclopedia, that steadlast friend of tbe editor all over Uie laud- Tho fourth day I fooled around” til! midnight, and then fell back on tbe Cyclopedia again. Th fifth day I codgell ed my brain till midnight, aud then kept tbe press waiting while I penned some oilier personalities on six different people. Tbe sixth duy I labored till far into tbe night and brought forth—nothing. The paper went to press without an editorial’ The seventh day I resigued. On the eighth Mr. Good man returned an t lound six duels on bis hands.— My personalities had borne fruit Nobody, except lie has tried it, knows what it is to be an editor, li is easy to scribble local rub bish, with the facts all before you ; it is easy to clip selections from other paper*; it is easy to striug out a correspondence from any locality ; bat it is an unspeakable hardship to write editorial.— Subjects are the troubles—the dreary lack of them, 1 mean- Every day it is a drag, drag, drag —think and worry and suffer—all the world is a doll blank, aud yet the editorial column must be filled. Only give the editor a subject, and his work is duue—it is no trouble to write it up ■ but fancy how you would feel if you bad to pump your brains dry every day iu Hie week, fifty-two weeks in the year. It makes one low-spirited sim ply to think of it. Tbe matter that <-ach editor of a daily paper in America writes in'he course oi a year would fill from four to eight bulky volumes like this book. Faucy what a library an editor e work would make after twenty or thirty years' service. Yet people ofteu wonder that Dickens, Scott, Bulwer, Dumas, Jkc., have been able to produce *o many books. If these authors had wrote as voluminously as newspaper editors do— tbe result would be something to marvel at iudeed. How editors continue this tremendous labor, this exhausting consumption of brain-fibre (for tboir work is creative, and not a mere mechanical layiug up of facts, like reporting), day after day, aud yeai after year is incomprehensible Preachers take two month’s holiday in midsummer, for they find that to produce two sermons a week is wearing iu tbe lung run* In truth it must be so, mod it u to: i and therefor*, how an editor can take from ten to twenty texts snd build upon them from ten to twenty pains-taking editorals a week, and keep it np all (he year round, is further beyond compre hension than ever. Ever Bince I have snrvived my week as editor I hava found at least one p!e»r« ure in any new.spaper that comes to my hand ; it is iu admiring the long columns of ed.torials and wondering to myselfbow iu the mischief he did it. The Discovery of Coffee.—To- wnrd the middle of the fifteenth cen tury a poor Arab was traveling tiirongh Abvsinnia, and finding himself weak and weary from fatigue, he stopped near a grove. Then being iu want of fuel to cook his rice, he cut dowu a tree which happened to be covered with dead berries. His meal being cooked and eaten, the traveler discovered that the half-burned ber ries were very fragrant. He collected a number of these, and on crushing them with a stone, he found that their aroma increased to a great extent.— While wondering at this, he accident ally let fall the substance in a can which contained his scanty supply of water. Lo, what a miracle! The almost putrid liquid was instantly pu rified. He brought it to his lips. It was fresh, agreeable, and in a moment after the traveler had so far recovered his strength and energy as to be able to resume his journey. The lucky Arab gathered as many berries as he could, and, having arrived at Arden, in Arabia, lie inlorined the mufti of his discovery. That worthy divine was an inveterate opium smoker who had been sullering for years from the influence of that poisonous drug. He tried an infusion of the roasted berries, and was so delighted at the recovery of Lis own vigor that in gratitude to the tree he called it cahuab, which iu Arabic signifies force. And that is the way in which coflee was discover ed. A lawyer once came into court drunk, when the judge said to him : “ Sir, I am sorry to see you in a situa tion which is a disgrace to yourself and family, the court, and the profes sion to which you belong.” The re proof elicited the following colloquy : “ Did your honor speak to me ?” “ I did, sir ; I said, sir, in my opinion, you disgrace yourself and family, the court, and the profession, by your course of conduct.” “May i-i-it please your honor, I have been an attorney i-i-in this court for fifteen years ; and permit me to say this is the first cor rect opinion I ever knew you to give!” Horace Greely is said to be sick and tired of the “ devilments” that beset an editor now-a-days in the way of politics. He sometimes swears that he will quit the business and take to teaching a writing school for a living. Sheep in Colorado have long fleeces, in which the dust and mud of the sum mer accumulate.
