Do not let them stir without watching. They may do something wrong if vou do. To be sure, vou never knew them to do anything very bad, but it might be on your account that they have not. Pern.. ps if it had not been for your kind ere thev might have disgraced themselves a long time ago. There fore, do not relax any effort to keep them where they ought to be. .Never mind your own business that will take care of itself. There is a man passing along he is looking over the fence be suspicious of him ; perhaps he contemplates stealing some dark night; there is no Know ing what queer fancies he may have gut in his head. If there is artv symptoms of any one passing out of the path of duty, tell eery one else that you see, and be particular to see a great many. It is a good way tocircuiate sucu tilings, it may not benefit yourself or any one eise. particularly. Do keep some thing going silence is a dreadful thing; though it is said there was silence in Heaven for the space of l half an hour, don't let any such oc- cur on eariu; it wuum ie ioo muni for the mundane sphere. If, after all your watchful care, you cannot see anything out of the way in any one, you may be sure it is not because thev have not done J any tiling bad ; perhaps in an ungnard- ed moment you lost sight of them throw out hit.ts that they are no bet ter than they should be, that you should not wonder if the people found out what they were, altera while, then they would not hold their heads high. Keep it going, and some may take the hint, and begtn to help you along after a while, and there will be music, and everything will w ork to a charm. Ex. Charming is that faculty of the human mind which enables us to drop into poetry like .Mr. egg up on any occasion, no matter how pro saic, which throws a soft light of ro mance around bread and cheese, and irradiates the commonplace soul with beauty ! Such is the faculty possess ed by a noble poet of Chicago, w ho was recently informed that Madam Xilson had thoughtfully built a shel ter for her cows on her land at Peoria. Mindful of the catastrophe which led to the destruction of his native city, he immediately burst into this wild and beautiful frenzy of verso: Christine, Christine, thy milking do the morn and eve between, and not by the dim, religious light of the fit ful kerosene. For the cow may plunge, and the lamp explode, ami the fire fiend rido the gale, and shriek the knell of the burning town iu the How of the molten pail !" The old question, 44 Does lager intoxicate?" came before a court in Dayton, Ohio, a ilay or two ago. A German testified: 44 If you drink five or six glasses of lager iu a little while you feel more pleasant as if you drink five or six glasses of water in the same time, and if you drink five or six glasses of water in a little while you will feel more disappoint ed as if you drink five or six glasses of lager in the same time." The jury were out four hours and stood seven the five. Astoxisfied. A young lady who entered a Broadway music store, and asked the young man in attendance, "Have you 'Happy Dreams?'" was astonished when he replied, "No ma'am; I am mostly troubled with the nightmare." -He didn't know why she went out so hurriedly and slammed the store-door after her. "Henry," said one Quaker to an other, "thee knows I never call any body names; but, Henry, if the gov ernor of the State should come to me and say, 4 'Joshua, I want thee to find me the biggest liar iu the State of New York," I would come to thee and say, "Henry, the governor wants to see thee particularly.

DR. FOSTER'S FEE. .Story of the Late Southern Epi demic! BY MBS. EMILY B. SWASDEB. From the St. Louis Republican "Well?" Dr. Foster's sister Mas not given to expletives, the significant " well" saved breath, and answered the pur pose of a dozen questions. The doctor showed his apprecia-' tion by a prompt response, but ab breviated in the same degree "Spasms." Miss Foster gazed at her brother with a comprehensive scrutiny, and, with the wisdom for which women are-remarkable, she silently awaited the volubility consequent upon this course. bhe brought him his slippers not one of the one hundred and fifty pairs annually sent him by the grate ful young lady patients and widows whose lives he had saved so fre quently during the year but a pair presented by herself; his dressing gown, also her own loving work, then she resumed her seat opposite him at the table and looked at him from under her half-closed eyelids. She detected something unusual in his manner, and she knew the least curiosity she exhibited the sooner would his anxiety to uubos ou) himself he gratified. 44 What a desirable physician's wife you would majie," he said, after a pause. 4 "Why?" 44 You never ask question!" A peculiar smile passed over her face, but she made no answer. Another long silence; then he said, impatiently, knocking the ashes from his cigar. 44 Horrible night out!" 44 It is, indeed, I hope you will not be called out again. What a disa greeable profession youi is, omit ting the danger surrounding it." With all its dangers and unpleas antness it has a charm for me above every other. Saving a soul is grand, but saving a life, using nature's se crets to conquer her enemy is a pow er so beautiful, that the petty incon veniences only enhance the fascina tion. 44 Fine theory for a voting enthu siast, but for a man who has prac ticed so long as you have, I should think the glory were pretty well worn oil'. You didn't seem to bring any of it back with you from your la.t visit." 44 Oh! yon practical female! while I admire the rainbow, you measure the depths of the mud. You women alwavs are in the extremes. It is a happy thing that we are not so sin gularly constituted we, who bullet so many disappointments, or life's treadmill would be run by a set of misanthropes." Miss Foster did not appear hurt at his views. She knew how he had labored and sutlered to gain the foot hold that led him to his present prosperity, tind how, not this posi tion alone, but the real nieal ot nis profession had given him courage to struggle and ciouer. So she quiedy reached over the table, and taking hrs hand in her tw o. pressed them loving, saying: 44 1 un derstand you well, dear, but 1 can not control my anxiety tor your welfare ami safety when you go among such inhuman people as you have just come from. " 1 confess 1 did clutch my cane with a firmer grasp as I neared the neighborhood. It was a villainous location, but if you think a moment, you can recall few, if any, instances of attack or threatened danger to one of us." "They surely seem to hold you sacred, or possibly they know you leave vour valuables at home. 44 In nine cases out of ten, the doc tor who accepts a call from such a quarter has no valuables to lose, answered the brother. Ah! you see, my brother, pros perity has wiped out all ideas of your laborious glory," quickly an swered Miss Foster. 44 There you are again," ready to accept, without question, the disa greeable and condemn the whole as a matter ol course, l-wish some body, just about half good enough for yon, would gobble you up matri monially and teach you tne gooa is in us. 'Thank v ou!" replied Miss I oster, drilv. 44 Come. sis. now don't be sarcas tic, ana I'll tell you or rather, I want vour advice. If there is one "thing more than another that pleases and flatters a woman, it is to have the mighty man" come down from his . exalted estate in the realms of masculin con ceit ami call her into counsel. 44 You know I am always ready to arvise you," replied Miss Foster with pleasing dignity. "As I was hurrying along this evening to the child to whom I was called, I was turning over in my mind whether it would not be a eharity to let the child die." , ' 44 What a hideous thought!" 44 Oh, I did not slacken my pace in the least, during the undecided state of my mind. I was merely re volving the idea for future consider ation." . 4'Is this the subject that requires - i" " Do be patient I'll get to that by and by. As! was saying, I expected to find the child m a u. gulation, by the frantic endeavors of two or three dozen tender-hearted neighbors, as is generally the case with that class of people, each clos ing around the poor thing to prevent a breath of air reaching the sufferer ; one holding it by the feet, head downward, another beating it on the back, another throwing hot water on its head, -while still another applied cold wjiter to its feot, the rest vie- ing with each other as to -who should cret her finsrer down its throat far thest to superinduce the much de- sirea sromacuiu reittioja, ou muis pensible to their own well-being after certain spiritual consolations."- Poor httlo creature 1 exclaimed the sister. - "Those children invariably sur vive, however, nnhapily for the state of society' and themselves, if they ever realize their condition on this earth. I .was prepared to scatter such a mob when I entered the wretched tenement, following my di rections. I knocked at the door, rather surprised at the silence with in. It was opencdiby a young woman." The doctor stopped short here, and seemed to be lost in a vision presented to his mind's eye. 'Was she white? and did she have a clean face ?" 44 Yery white! very clean, very!" " Was she dressed clean and neat?" 44 Scrupulously so!" "Was she pretty?" 44 That common term is not suited to her at all. She had the most ex quisite face I ever saw.. Her eyes, without knowing their color, haunt me with an angelie expression. I cannot get rid of them. I cannot account for it. They seemed to ap peal to me for help, and yet there was nothing in her manner to indi cate anything of the kind." Miss Foster sat thinking, and study ing her brother's face, then she asked: 44 What about the child; was it hers?" 44 Of course I did not think of ask ing her. She had done all that was necessary; it had probably eaten something indigestible ami it result ed in a spasm. She said in her fright she had hurriedly begged the first person she saw outside of her door to run for a doctor, but regret ted it because she had no money to pay me, and she knew very well how to manage in such an emergency." Here the doctor, in a shame-faced sort of way, drew from his vest pock et a handkerchief, if the bit of lace and fibres of linen may be named such, and laid it on the table before lis sister. That lady examined it, and pro nounced it real. That has been stolen," she decid ed. 44 it never cost less that fifty dol lars. Yery likely it would have been disposed of if the initials had not been worked in." Where? let me see," exclaimed the doctor in an excitement quite un usual. . 1.1 rp He gazed at the letters a long while, then he folded the web of lace into a minute package and placed it in a covered copartment of his pock et-book. 44 What are you going to do with it?" his sister asked in profound as tonishment. 44 Keep it nntil she comes for it." Miss Foster went over to him, felt his pulse, his brow, his hands, and sat down again with a dark frown on, her face saying: 44 If your confidence in this person is not a feverish fancy, there must be something else the matter with you. Did she say she would redeem it?" "She did and I really long to see her see face again, as one longs for a touchiug melody or a beautiful pic ture." 44 How came such an exotic in a filthy marsh?" tartly questioned Miss Foster. 44 That, I shall leave for your wo manly good sense to discover. You will do me the favor to visit her to morrow, and aid iu such a manner as the case calls for. She is certainly not an object of charity in the ordin ary sense but why multiply words? I can place the matter in yourfceep- ludge ami manage with a delicate tart. My kind would spoil in bungling ing." How well he knew the rather rigor ous exterior of his old maid sister, covereda heart, tender and warm, a mind above harboring little jealous ies and blind condemnation. The first thought in her mind the following morning was this strange charge. "Who knows how sadly this wo man needs a woman's sympathy and aid?" she said to herself as she at beside her brother on their way to her. Ht left her there, knowing she was familiar with poverty and feared no harm in her missions of mercy, this not being her first trial by very manv. . P.icclnrr fhrnnrdi a multitude Of dirty faces, both old and young, agapo with curiosity, very likely hunger also, as bad whisky was jcheaper than bad bread, Miss Foster reached her destination. She found everything as her broth er had described, clean, what there was; oulv a few of the most necessary articles;" three chairs a table, a bed and a stove, not Filly's best either. Seated at the table holding a child of about eighteen months old, on her lap, was the young woman in ques tion. Putting the child from her she rose, placed a chair for her visitor and in a lady like and dignified man ner asked her how she could be of service. "That remains to be seen," pleas antly replied Miss Foster "I came at the request of my brother, doctor Foster, who called here last evening, to see. if we could serve you." The voung woman looked at Miss Foster and that lady returned the gaze. An invisible power establish ed confidence between the two: "God knows I need help some wav," replied the young woman, taking the child on. her lap again, caressing its silken hair meanwhile. 4 4 Are vou alone?" "YesSusie and I are all that are COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, left; the others all died with the yel- low fever at Memphis a few weeks ago. A kind soul who used to wash and help about the house brought us with her to St. Louis, until the hor ror was over. This is her room and the people you see around this place are her friends. I am a perfect stran ger, not one dollar do we own; grateful foreven this shelter until we can return and gather the rem nants my dead parents left in the confusion and distress. Grief for the dead and care for this little one is all that is left me in the w world. You can well imagi thought of nothing but safety for ourselves, when it was to be obtained, and flight from the -horrors I was helpless to mitigate. Ob I shall I ever, ever, be able to forget?" 44 You are only one of many, poor child, who must carry in their hearts the memory of this terrible time. If you are friendless, the God who per mitted your sorrow will also heal it, and new friends will rise up to help the worthy and protect the orphan. We do wish to forget a grief, dear, but we know time will lighten it. Miss Foster's voice had the true ring of feeling as she said this, and the young woman saw the first tears shed in sorrow with her own since her trouble. v 44 This child is your sister, I judge?" 44 My sister, yes; three others, fath er and mother, all were taken from me in one dav. How we escaped a touch of the fearful disease is a mar vel. We were led to the boat by a kind woman with just what we had on. nothing more; we have been here two weeks, an eternity it seems, and still there seems no prospect of a safe return. But thankful as I am for this woman's goodness I believe I should die before another sucli time could elapse in this place. We fear to iro out. and still I don't like to leave Susie in this close air constant lv." 44 You must go right home with me !" "Oh! You are an angel, and your confidence in me shall not be abused. Until I can go home, we will be as little trouble as possible. Perhaps I can make myself useful. Oh, dear madam, said the girl between her sobs, "you cannot, who perhaps have never known what it is to be so utterly alone, you cannot know how sweet it is to have a friend once more We were so lonesome, so wretched, weren't we little Susie?" said she patting the little one on the cheek in pleasurable excitement. And so Miss Foster took her charges home, and her brother was not a little startled when the sweet blushing face and the haunting eyes met him at the dinner-table that day. When he heard all the particulars, he said in tender admiration: 4 'Sister, you're a fine woman, a woman of quick perception and ex cellent judgment: how wise itwas to bring them here. I'm sure I never should have thought of such a thing." The old maid and the young doc tor lost much of their quiet comfort by this addition to the little house hold; but they appeared to gain a vast amount of pleasure in the com pany of the little girl. Miss Foster endured the disarrangements of her household aflairs with an amiability quite remarkable, took the greatest delight in making pretty little gar ments, and actually became frolic some herself occasionally. "F. T." or Fannie Talbot proved herself as lovable in character as her face indicated, nd Miss Foster's "quick perception" noticed that her brother stood in danger of suffering a severe loss, anatomically speaking, but the same faculty that made this discovery also observed the article had fallen into tender hands, while undergoing the same privation. In the meau time the doctor had taken measures to have the young lady's property protected, ana sent a vooonsible party to attend to all her affairs when it w as safe to do so. "Dear Miss Foster" said the young lady one day, don't you think it is about time for us to relieve you of our troublesome selves?" "Do yon want to leave us?" 44 r(nit to leave yon? Yon who have taken us to your heart and home without question, cared for us, cheered us, as if 3-011 had known and loved us always? "and all on trust?" "Mv dear, if people would accept more of that which has an ill seem ing on trust they would find much more that was trust worthy. But suppose you go into the doctor's study and redeem your handkerchief, and ask him what he thinks about your leaving. You had better fol low his advice." Fannie knocked at the study door and was invited to enter. She step ped inside and hesitated 44I came to redeem my lace hand kerchief." "You will have to pay dear for it," said he coming toward her. "Fannie!" That was all but she looked dreadful guilty when he led her to his sister a little later, who simply looked happy and said with quiet meaning: "As one longs for a touching mel ody or a beautiful picture." A Georgia negro was riding a mule along, and came to a bridge, when 1 1 11 Ttll t 1 the muie stoppeu. 1 11 Det you a ouarter," said Jack, 44 I'll make you go over the bridge," and with that struck the mule over the head, which niade him nod suddenly 44 Yon take de bet den," said the negro, and contrived to get the stub , 1 ll. , ? , . . -w norn muie over uie Drouge.

Five' Millions of" Dollars for Our Su gar Ainiuallj-. We copy the following from the Rural Press, the writer of which has twice visited Germany and France as the agent of the Sacramento Yal ley Beet Sugar Company, and whose general observation and knowledge of the subject of which he writes ought to give the opinion great weight. This is what he says: This is the amount of money paid annually for sugar entering the State through the port of San Francisco. The money, for this sugar all goes to foreign countries, instead of remain ing here, ami it might do, if our eople had the will to inaugurate a beet sugar factory in one certain county in the State, and we mean Lais Angeles county. e have just returned from a visit to that county, made for the express purpose of judging of the suitablenesss of the ands there for the production of the sugar beet, and the facilities pre senting for the successful prosecu tion of the best sugar industry. Y e find in the Valley of Los Angeles a tract of land so nearly limitless in extent, of such superior excellence for the grow th of beets, so favorably situated for purposes of shipment of anything that may pertain to an establishment of the kind, their proximity to exhaustless beds of excellent peat, and mountains of as phalt available for fuel, the ease with which artesian water can be procured for factory purposes or ir rigation, all point to the irresistible conclusion that it is the place where every pound and every dollar s worth of sugar needed for the sup ply of the entire Pacific coast of the United States can be easily and prof itably produced. The bare inaugu ration of this industry upon a limited scale, anywhere within the broad sweep of that great and luxuriant valley, would at once add ten-fold value to the thousands of acres, and would alcne reimburse the proprie tors of the soil for making the neces sary outlay. Appropriate a body of land to this purpose, reserving yet other acres by the tho. .sands, to be eventually incorporated into one grand concern for the manufacture of beet sugar on a scale commensur ate with its importance, and, under proper management, the same could be made so largely paying as to as tonish even its most enthusiastic prajectors and supporters. Two crops of beets a year from the same ground, the seed of which can be planted with success every month in the year; no provision necessary to secure the factory's winter supply of beets from frost, and the constant operation of the works during the whole year instead of six months the extreme length of a sugar cam paign in Europe give to Los Ange les county advantages possessed by few, if any, and excelled by no other country in the world. Ax Irish Legal Dkcisiox. The following story comes from Ireland: Two men had a quarrel in a liquor- shop. They adjourned outside to settle the dispute. The first man being from Connaught, immediately seized a lump of stone and let fly at the head of his opponent, w ho dip ped his head and missed the stone, which went through an expensive plate-glass window, and did much damage. A magistrate was called upon next morning to determine which of the two should pay the cost. The evidence clearly showed that the aim was a good one, and that if the second man had not dipped his head lie would have been struck. 44 1 here- fore," said the magistrate, "he must oav the damages, as it is certain tne first man didn't intend to injure the window, and the window would not have been injured if it had not been for the act of the second man." An old f-rmer employed a son of Erwin to work for him on his farm. Pat was continually misplacing the end boards in the cart the front board behind and the tail board in front, which made the old gentle man very irritable. To prevent it h painted on both boards a large "B'- then he called Pat to him and showing him the boards, said: Now, vou blockhead, you need make no mistake, as they are now both mark ed. This (pointing to one board) is 44 B" for before, and that (indicating the tail board) is 44 B" for behind, whereupon the old gentleman march ed off with great dignity. Its Aim.

In the Cincinnati Commerciars ashington correspondence' tW ' er day appeared the following inter- ' esting ana instructive item: " There is a very ugly storv going f the rounds of the press to the effect -that at the wedding of Miss Stewart the refreshments gave out. The facts are these: Toward the close of the evening there was such rioting- for it can be called by no other name in the supper room, such breaking of fine glass goblets and dishes being pitched nnder the table by the guests to get rid of the labor of holding them, that. Mm Stowsn-4 ordered tha supper room to be clos ed. Just sncn scenes are repeated in this city to a greater or less degree O at every large entertainment." Of such is the Kingdom of Shod dy! How can we expect the vulgar herd who have come to the front since the close of the war, the recon structed rabble, the dregs who have been stirred up from the bottom of the social waters, to exhibit eviden ces of good breeding or to manifest the semblance of decency? What do the ex-bull-drivers and retired scul lions, who have fattened on the offal of corruption and fed fat upon tho feculence of official jobbery what do tney, we repeat, Know 01 the usages of civilized society and the amenities ami requirements of social intercourse and private hospitality? j They regarded Stew'art's daughter's hymeneal festivities as a common barbecue in which it was free to all present to pull and haul and porg themselves, without reserve. Most; fitting commentary upon the new or der that reigns at the National Cap ital! What a contrast between the pres ent and the past of Washington society does this bit of scandal about the Stew art-Hooker weddingsugges4.
