transactions of life, and when a man goes

Stratagem. Three ragp-d, wretched to

They had not a penny between them, and
neither had drank a droj within half an
boor. They debuted the deeply iuterestine;
qtietion how to obtain the next g!as of
grog. After much miserable muttering
over the teiverly of the times, and many im
practicable suggestions, one of tbem ex-
cuinnr.
"I have nit ideal We'll all ir into the
next Mmp and rinnk."
'Drink !" replied I. is companion; "tlint's
casilr paid; but who's to pay?"
".obotlr. Do as I tell you. I'll take
the reiMmNittility."
Following the icakcr's directions. Lis
two companions entered an adjoining ram
mery and called for whiky fkins. The
place was kept by a Dutchman. After he
lind wasted ott hi customers, and while
they were vnjoying their orlliitox beverage
at tlo count it, in walked to-r Vo. 1.
"How are yiT to the Dutchman.
"How de do?" said the Dutchman.
TK-r No. I ulunced supiiiously at to
I t rs N. 2 ai d 3, aud beckoned the propri
etor aside.
"Do you know these men?" he. asked
mysteriously.
The Dutchman etartrd.
"I know no more as dal dey call for de
whisky skiiis."
"Don't take any money of them," whin
peied No. I.
"Sir? I not take monejr for the whisky

tv'iti witii his companions.
"Whafa to pay?" qnotli toper No. 2, put

And having smiled the supftosed inform

tude by generously inviting the supposed
anti-iiifoi tnt r to take n second glass. Of

tation. En.
fisr Jim had read the well known story
of Girge Washington's love of truth, aud
the father's love of the noble principle of
his son, so well manifested on the occasion
referred to, of Gcorjre's cutting down the
cherry tree, ucknowldinr bis transgress
ion, and receiving a full and free pardon,
besides praises and kind caresses from his
fiit her. So Jim, actuated by the noble ex
ample, snpphed himself with a hatchet, and
going into his father's orchard, cut down
some choice fruit trees, ne then colly sat
down to await the old man's coming, ami,
as soon as he made his appearance, inarched
up to him with a very imiKrtant air, and
ackuowlcdired the deed, expecting the next
thing on the programme to be tears, bene
diction and embraces from the offended pa
rent. But, sad to relate, instead of this,
the old gentleman canght up a hickory and
gave him an "all fared lamming." Jim was

A Proposal, for Obtaintso an Instruc
tor for the Mctes of Okegox. Having in
my family a son who is a mute, I, as might
be exjKfted, Lave much anxiety in regard
to his edncation. The dangers of sending
him to the States! the attention required
to render a mute comfortable, which uone
but a person interested can so well render,
actually forbids such a step. A consulta
tion with others similarly situated with my
self has induced me to express in this man
ner my ardent desire of conferring with all
parents aud guardians having mutes in their
charge, upon the propriety of obtaining an
instructor from some one of the States. -Those
who wish to counsel with me upon
the subject are urgently solicited to do so
immediately by mail or otherwise. My ad
dress is Independence, Polk Co , Oregon.

hard Khell Uubtist preacher, uf whom you've
tn doubt heern beltre, and Ijiow appittr
here to e pound the Rcriptres and plut out
the narrcr way which leads from a vain
world to Jaroosiiliim, and my text which I
i ftliall choose for Hie ocensiou is iu the Icda
IchroniklU and the last chapter of liiuotby
Titos, and when you find it, you will Bud it
in these woru.it
"And they shall gnaw a die and flee onto
the mountains or Ilepsldam, where the lion
roareth aud the waug-doodle mourneth for
ts nrst born." . -
. ow, my bretherlug,as I have before
told you, fam an unedicuted man, and
I know nothing about grammar talk and col
I ui ire Inruloolin; but 1 in a plain unlarut
preacher of the Gopil what's been foreor
dained, and called to expound scrioter to a
tlyiu' world, and prepare a itci verse genera'
tiou for the day of wrath to come; for they
shall gnaw a file aud flee nulo the mnuii
fains of Hepsidiim, where the lion roareth
ii nd the waug-doodle inournetb for Us first
born.'
My beluT-d brethering, the test says
they shall "rnuw a file.' It don't ray they
m:iy, they shad. And now there a innr n
one kind of file. There's the hand saw file,
rat-tail file, double Ble nnd profile; but the
kind of Gle spoken uf here isn't one of them
neither; for it's a finger of speech, my
brethering, aud menus goiu' it alone nud
getting ukered; for "they shall gnaw a file
and flee unto the moutititins i f Hepsidani
where the lion ronretli and the wang-doodle
monrueth for its first-born."
And now there be some bore with fine
close ou l liar bucks, brnss ring on thar Gu
irers, nd lurd on thar heads, w hat goes it
w hile they're youiijr, and thar be others here
what, as lon-r as their constitutions ami for
ty cent whisky lasts, goes it blind; and thar
be sisters here what, when the get sixteen
years old, cut thar tiller ropes and goes it
with a rush; but I say my dear brethering,
take care you don't find, whew Gabriel bltws
his last trump, that you've all went it alone
aud got ukered; for "they shall gnaw it Gle
and flee unto the mountains of Hciisidsm,
where the lion roareth aud the waug-doodle
mourneth for its first born."
And my brethering there's more dams be
sides Hcp-diatn. There's Rotterdam. Am-
terduni, Haddaiu, mill-dam and don't care
a dam the last of which, my dear bret'ier
ing, is the word of all, and reminds me of
a circumstance I once knew in the State of
Illiuoy. Tiiar was a man what built a mill
on the east fork of Agur creek, and it ground
a sight of grain, but the man that built it
was a miserable sinuer, aud never give any
thing to the church: and, roy brethering.
one night mere come a niijihtr storm ol
wind and rain, and the fountains of the
great deep was broken np, and the waters
rushed down and swept that man's mill dam
into kit plom come, and lo ami behold in
the morning when he got up he found he
wasn't worth a dam. Now, my dear breth
ering, when the storms of temptations over
take ye, take care you don t fall from grace
and become like that man's mill, not worth
dam i for "tln-r shall gmtw a file and flee
unto the mountains of lleid;tin, where the
lion roareth and the wang-doodle mourneth
for it first-born."
"Whar the lion roareth and the Wang
dvidles mourneth foe its first-born."
Thia. part of my text, my brethering,' Is
another fijfjer of speech, and isn't to be -taken
as it says. It doesn't menu the liowlin'
wilderness, where John the hard shell B i'
tist was fed on locusts and wild asses, but
it mras my brethering the city of New
Vorleans, the mother of harlots and hard
lots where corn is worth six bits a bushel
one day and nary red the next, where nig
gers are as tliiek as black bugs in a spoiled
bacon ham, and gamblers, thieves and pick
pockets go skiting about the street like
weasels in n bam yard whar they liave
cream-colored horses, gilded carriages, mar
ble saloons with brandy nud sngar in 'em
whar honest men arc scarcer than hen's
teeth, and a strange woman once took in
your beloved preacher and bamboozled him
out of two hundred and twenty-seven dollars
in the twinkle of a sheep's tail, but she can't
do it again, halleliijih! for "they shall irnaw
a tile and flee unto the mountains of Ilepsi
dam, where the lion roareth and the wang
doodle mourneth for its first-born." '-
My brethering, I am enptaiu of that flat
boat you see tied up tlmr, and I're irot
atxmrii her flour, bacon and oats, nud as
god Monongehaly whisky asyoueverd'unk
aud I'm mighty apt to get a big price for it
all. But what, oh my brethering, would it
all be worth if I had'nt relidgin? Thar's
nothing like relidgin, my brethering. It's
better nor silver and gold jimcrucks, "and
you can no more get to heavfii without re
lidgin, than a jay bird can fly without a tail
liian- me lord l m an unedilicated man,
my brethering, but I'vesarched the scriptures
from Dan to Burshebee, and found old Zion
right side up, and tbe hard shell religion
th best of all relidgion. . And it's not like
the Methodist what expects to git into
heaven by hollerin bell-fire; nor like the
Uuivcrsalist who gits upon the broad tcngue
nnd goes the whole bog, nor like- the United
Brethercu who takes each other ty the
seat of the trowsers.and tries to lift- their
selvcs into heaven; nor like the Catholics
what buys their tickets from thar preest '
but it may be likened, my brethering, to a
man what hud to cross a river, aud when he
got thar the ferry boat was goue, and he
rolled up his breeches and waded over
hallelujah! for "they shall gnaw a file and
flee unto the monnt.iins of Uepsidam, where
the lion roareth aud the waug-doodle mourn
eth for its first-born." '
Pass the hat, brother Flint, and let every
hard-shell shell out.

, pie of Wit and Hamari
Ai sample of legislative wit and orato
ry, displayed so frequently in the Assembly
upon questions of "privilege"- -where a mem
ber ia almost sure. to ruuke a fool of himself
we tfive the speech of Mr. Tatnian, the
"Knowiiolhiog" member from Mariposa, de
livered iu the House on Saturday last, as
tho same is steneographieally reported in
the Union
nir.- latman. Mr. Biieaker, l rise to a
question of privilege.
The Speaker. iate your privilege.
Mr. Tattnau. It is concee m piece in
the .Sacrumctito Bee- of '4'hnrsay7 The
thing begins in this way
"Somr Previous Dat. J. II. Tatman,
Assemblyman from Mariposa the same who
guve notice that he would introduce a tit
to abolish a portion or the Constiinlion ol
the United States, and afterwards rose to a
question of 'privilege,' to amend his notice
by inserting 'the Constitution of this State'"
Now, that's false. A part of the balance
is true. "Mr, Tatman said, yesterduj,
while the Ran Francisco Funding bill was
under discussion see Union's report: 'I
move to lay the bill ou the table until some
jireriowf duy say this day week. There
has been a good deal of outside talk Upon
this matter 'and I want to iuveMiirate it
thoroughly. When it does come nit. I will
give some information concerning it. I am
ou trail ot 11 .We supposed that he was
in fun, when he gave notice of a bill to
change the Constitution, but it is pretty ev
ident that he was in downright earnest.
There are some bright toctiis iu that dis
tinguished body."
,Now, I am t no youth. Lnocliter l I
don't take that to myself, at all. But I
will say to this Bet he may be a humble
bee, or a sweet bee, for aught I know-
know he ain't an American bee; I know
that. 'Now, Mr. Siieaker.- you know this
one thing, that Mr. Havens, the vertr hon
orable gentleman from Humbolt, who intro
duced that first bill of amendments to strike
out certain portions of our glorious Consti
tution. Hs wanted to make a new law' iu
that sort of fashion, which, you know cauv
ed more interruption to the general proceed
ing! i tins House than the Kansas Nebras
kit bill which somebody introduced here
(Great luughter ti'id appluusc.1 Now. I
say tj you, Mr. Sjieaker, and if it is proper,
i ay tne same tiling precisely to the mem
bers of this ere Home, that I ask all sorts
of pardon for interrupting the House on
that day, when we were a little out of hu
mor; for tho is nil who could set natientlr
under all the rabble that we suffered on that
day. must h:trc the natienee of Job f A ...
plause and lau-hter.J Now, sir, I will suy
this concerning papers on the outside. A
voice, "roiid-i "! When Mr. Harens th
honorable gentleman from Humboldt, step
ped forth, with both feet onto the Constitu
tion of this great, golden State of Califor
nia, ho didn't step o-i no man's toes, nor
nothing. But when I put one little foot to
ward that instrument, there was a great out
cry anir hullaboo. Laughter. I hurt
some men's corns; ami when you step on a
man's toes as lias corns ou 'em, he'lf bellow
like a bull calf. Uproarious laughter aud
applause. Now, I ain't got nothing more
to say about this matter. I think that any
reporter that reports in this House should
report right nnd true; and any man who
edits a piifer. ought lo be responsible for his
importers and responsible for himself if he
docs anything in any of his papers except
a lint's wrong. L iughter. So far as the
Con'ssT, otioii is concerned, I pledge this
House rf that bill, or whatever you please
to call it, of the honorable geiitlemau from
Humboldt, I SBy now, if he really intended
to fetch iu that concern of his'u laughter
and pass it in this House, to repeui some of
our Constitution, and patch it up with his
amendments, I will put in this ere bill or
mine,' and they shall both go before the peo
ple f this Suite at the next general elec
tion. Laughter ar.d applause. I give no
tice of that bill of mine, Mr. Speaker, aud
I shall stick to it. Ef Mr. Havens brings
in his bill and stups both feet onto the Con
stitution ol the State of California for to
traduce it nud tear it down, I "shall repu
diate his proceeding nnd como in with a
proclamation of my own. Great laughter
and apprnuse.l All I've got to say at pres
ent, Mr. Speaker, U, that when the great
Anjericuii eagle langhter; 1 say, sir,when
the great and mighty American eagle, which
soars aloft and hovers over the Statu of
California and these ere United States, come.-.
down nu.1 lights on a mun that has corns on
his toes, it makes him bellow like a buw
culf. (Shrieking, laughter and applause.)
Mr. Clarke, ot Sierra. I move that this
House do accept of Mr. Tuttuuu's apology.
A Voice. Second the motion.'
Mr. Tatman. I rise again, Mr. Speaker,
to ask the honorable gentleman from Hum
boldt ef he intends to fech up his bill? 'cause
ef he does, I give notice that I intend to
fech up my bill. (Addressing Mr. Uuvctis.)
Ef you wish now to let your thing drnp, I
will let mine drop. (Great langhter.)

Benefits of Advehtisi.io. About eight

monthly, about eight hundred dollars worth.
Iu four inoiitlts the monthly sale had in
creased to eleven hundred dollars, and now
they reach fourteen hundred per month, and
are coustuntly increasing. Nothing can il
lustrate better the advantages of adverti

hibit 204,001 traders or all kinds iu the
United States. What an army of "store
keepers!" Dividing the trade of our twen
ty fire millions equally among these traders,
and there are 123 to each, men, women and
children, or about twenty-five families.
What can show more strikingly the great
excess of attention bestowed upon traffic.
All these men cannot Ijve honestly by their
business, and they do not. Half of them
fail, and are succeeded by others, who go
the same round and come to the same end.
If the ether half lire, it can only be by
exorbitant profits on the articles passing
through their hands, constituting a system
of legalized robbery of the producers and
consumers of the community. Every arti
cle of focd and drink and apparel is bur
dened with a heavy tax to support this
vast army of traders. They eat up the sub
stance of the land, and like Pharaoh's lean
kind, they still continue lean and ravenous.
If about three fourths of this clu-s would
devote themselves to some productive labor,
the country would be richer by several mil
lions erery year, the means tf liriiiir would
be sold for an honest price, and labor would
not be cheated of its just rewards. Let
the crowd who are eagerly rushing into
traffic, hoping to become quickly rich by
its uncertain gains, return to the plough,
the anvil, and the- plane, and they will at
tain a true prosperity, ai d gire the rest or
the community a chance to Lro also. If
anybody is anxious, to know what the exact
gain will lie of reducing trade to reasona
ble limits, let him estimate what it now
cots Ihe 25 families to support encli trader
and his family, and thin allow. 100 families
to each trader and calculate the 'difference.
Let us liaTre a reduction in the preat army
of traffickers. We cae.uot all live by tra
ding with each other. Let us go back to
the plough, for the wealth must be created
berore it cau be accumulated.
The Sacramento Ape relates the fol-
lowine amusing incident of "Gont vs. China
man,:" "We .witnessed an encounter between a
Chinnmnn and a poat ypsterday, which was
prohnbly more amnsinj to ntirelTes than to
the Chinaman. He hnd placed a lot of fih
on a dryinj platform, mnde of twigs, nnd.
as is nnsl with that race, had arranged
Ihem with crest carp. A Inrfre he-jroat, in
his perambulation. ' wandered around in
that direction, nnd thinking he had found a
wood place to snn himself, jtmped upon the
wicker platform, which yielded at once be
neath its burthen, and Tell partially to the
srrnnnd. The Chinaman came out or his
litt'e hut, ereatly enraged, and swearing
some Celestial oaths, picked np n club,
which he threw at the animal -1 trikiuhira
on the horn, nnd ninkh'tr hitn reel as be en
tered the neighboring btidips. John went
to work pirksnx np his fish, muttering to
himself, when the gont observing his stoop
ing postnre, came out, unobserved, and.
standing on his lee, mat's snndry comical
gyrations, and suddenly w-ith extraordinary
impetns, rushed uon the Chinaman, strik
ing him in the most available point, and
ending; him down a preeip'ee about ten feet
hifrh, in the descent or which fie turned two
or three somersaults, lighting on his head
on soil which had fortunately been moisten
ed by the recent rain. Tho goat at once
brat a retreat, which was creditable to his
discretion, and the Chinaman returned to
his work, exclaiming with indignation, "He

Fr.Entxo Calves. A cair should never
be changed frotsrll milk to nil grass,, but
it should be brought about gradually; other
wise the growth may bo injuriously affected.
The food with which they are fed has a
powerful influence on -milking properties, of
all cows; and the mode in which they r.re
reared has considerable" effect on their ca
pacity to give milk. Iu milk we have ail
that is necessary for the growth or young an
imals, and it is the type and representative
of all food; for, unless an aliment contain
the principles of milk, it, is not fitted for
the promotions of the health and perfect de
velopment of the body.
It is a bad thing to feed calves on skiui
milk us both the butter ntftl casein have
been reinored ia the shape of cream. -Earl
Spencer, of England, who was very success
ful iu weaning his calves, fed them first with
new milk and then witli skim-milk and meat
the hitter supplying the necessary nitro
gen mid nitrogenized materia!.
Exercise for a calf that is to bo raised,
Is a iicccssity, but for nil - f-Itiug animals,
the reverse. Much exercise of milk cows
decreases the production of butter, and in
creases the yield of casein. Poor pastures
produce most cheese, and stali feeding most
butter. Patent OJJke Report. '
Culture of Wild Berries. The Whortle
berry is a nutive fruit, iu the cultivation of
which many have attained great success.
It is common in most parts of the country,
and- is partial to a light soil, inclining to
sand. The bushes may ba removed and
transplanted either "n Spring or fall, aud
should be well manured with a compost
made of old stable", dung, forest scrapings
well decomposed and wood ashes. Tho
bushes need but little attention after they
have once fairly radicated, except to keep
them clear of weeds, nud tiie soil light and
pulverulent around the roots.
The Rasberry and Blackberry may also,
like the Whortleberry, be transplanted in
Spring or full, and require much the same
kind of soil and treatment. The fruit of
both -is excellent, and may be raised in al
most any- quantities desired. For jellies
and preserves as well as for pies and tarts,
it is probably exceeded by none of our na
tive fruits, except the 6trawberry. The
bushes should not be crowded, aud when
practicable, should be favored with an ex
posure to the sun. This will prevent mil
dew, and secure early ripeuing. German

made of that kind of material which is so
easily worked that every oue has a hand in

always sure to have enemies. They are' as

do not blow will go out of themselves." Let

you do but as they desire, and open the way
for more abuse. Let the poor fellows talk

What A Womax Can Do. Some crusty
old bachelor has indicted the following
specimen of masculine importance. Hear
him":
"A woman may say what she likes to
yon without any danger of being knocked
down for it. She can take a snooze after
dinner while her husband has to go to work.
She can dress herself in neat and tidy cali
coes for a dollar, which her husband has to
earn and fork over. She can go forth in
the street without being asked to trer.t at
every coffee house. She can paint her face
if she is too pale, ef.nd flour it if too red.
She can wear corsets if too thick other fix
ings if too thin. She cn eat, drink and be
merry without it costing her a cent. She
can get divorced from her husband when
she sees one she likes better; And she can
sect in debt nil over nntil her husband warns
the public against trusting her. on his ac
count any longer.
Dismally Disconsolate. A dry poods
dealer, doing business on the Island ward,
East Boston, has stepjied out leaving his
creditors under the following mournful cir
cumstances: He managed to sell out most
of his stock in trade, during the last week
or two, collected nearly all the debts due
him, sold bis household furniture at auction,
and then informed his friends that a near
relative of bis family bad died out West.
He tied a yard or so' of black crape ou the
door-handle, closed up his store, aud is new
among the missing. The shop on beirg
opened, presented a sad and solemn appear
ance to his creditors. The only consolation
left t(i em is iu the fact that he attended a
prayer meeting the evening before he left
the Island ward, aud it is hoped that bis
conscience . may be awakened by the
seed sown on that evening.

tells some awful stories. Here is his last
attempt: "Some of onr younger male read
ers may have heard of 'brandy that kills at
SO rods." An anecdote told ns the other
day disclosed the fact of a com pound called
whisky, considerably more certain in its ef
fects. Charley L , attending a dance
one evening, feeling in its first rate spirits,
got his keg pretty full of 'ardent, aud fi
nally retired to the privacy of an arm-chair,
where he sat comfortable, 'cornered,' atid
pretty much incapable of locomotion. Just
then II- came along, and seeing his state
addressed him with: 'What's the matter,
Charley? Laid out, eb?" "An entire mis
take; didn't take more'u a thimble full,"
hiccoughed Charley; 'wanted 80-rod whisljy
and the cussed fool gave me 'instanter?"
Planting Fruit Trees. Mcintosh says:
"In planting fruit trees where the subsoil
is of indrfferent quality, it is advisable to
place under each a piece of pavemeut about
three feet square and about twelve or fif
teen iuches under the surface, that .the roots
when they come in contact with it, may be
made to take a horizontal direction.- This
is one great means of keeping them near the
surface, and bas beeu found of much ad
vantage." "

lite way of exorcsssng the fact that a man
is naturally lazy. We live in wonderfully
refined times.
