jjjorfrjj. CH.UUTV. WTieh you meet with one suspected Of some secret dee I of shame, And for this by all rejected As a tiling of evil fame; Guard thiue every look and action, Speak no word of heartless blame, For the Blunderer's vile detraction Yet may soil thy goodly name. "When you meet with one pursuing Ways the lost have entered in, Working out his own undoing, With his recklessness and sin; Think, if placed in his condition, Would a kind word be in vain, Or a look of cold suspicion Win thee back to truth again? There are spots that bear no flowers, Not because the soil is bad, But the summer’s genial showers . Never make their bo; oms glad; Better have an act that’s kindly Treated sometimes with disdain, Than by judging others blindly, Doom the innocent to pain.

Httsttfliutcons. Retained for tl»e Snake. , Tse Andreas Independent tells the following anecdote of Col. James, a San Francisco lawyer, who, during the late campaign, put up for the night at a hotel in one of the northern counties. The Colonel “went in” to n little game of poker, “went through,” and soon crept off to bed. Soon after, a brawny specimen of Pikee, dressed in “jeans,” and wolf-skin cap, arrived in search of legal advice. He was taken immediately to the Colonel’s room, where, after wolf-skin had shaken the legal gentleman into consciousness tiie following conversation occurred: “Are you Squire James'!” “Yes, what do you want, old boy!” “Well, Squire, I reckon I shall have tur git a feller o’ your sort fur tur plead a lawsuit.” “What’s it about, my good man!” “■’Bout a boss.” Here the Colonel was all attention and courtesy. He raised himself on his elbows, and put his ear close to; the client’s lips. Here, he at once concluded, was a chance to get, even on the night’s losses at poker—a \ S3OO, perhaps a S6OO horse in dispute, and visions of a SIOO fee flitted rapidly across his mind.

■“State all the circumstances if you please, my kind friend.” “Wall,” said old wolf-skin, “yer see as I borryed this ’ere hossuv a feller named Flipkins, what keept a chicken ranch on Poverty Slide, (the Colonel drew his head in six inches,) an’ arter I’d rid the sway-backed, moon-eyed old critter till night (here down went the elbows,) I kerrDd the win-sucker outen the yard (Colonel’s head struck the pillow,) and staked his spavined hones on a hill ’mong the grass, to give his hide-bound carclis a chance for good pfovinder. (The Colonel waved his hand impatiently, but the old wolf went on.) Wall, a rattlesnake bit ’im on the glandered snout, an’ now the tarne) critter's got the big-head, an’ old Flipkins wants me to pay damages. f Yu've hearn the case, Squire.” “What's the damages!” roared the CoL ■oncl. • . “F-ifv-e dollars!” His head suddenly popped under the cover, and the now raving Colonel shouted: “Take yourself out of thiU— l'm retained for the snake."

A Clerical Anecdote.

The Rev. Dr. I’ , of Brookline, be-i longed to the old school divines, and while! attending to his usual Sabbath ministrations managed to discover who of his congregation were absent his first duty on Monday morning being to call on the absantees and to find out why they were not at church. Among thos ; whose places were often vacant, was one man who cared but little for the sanctity of the holy day, or4he reproof of the minister. iOn taking his usual Monday morning rounds,' Dr. P. was sure to visit Mr. C. as we shall call hirn. Said the good man: “Why were you not at church yesterday?'’j “Had other business to attend to,” was the blunt reply. “Mr. C.,” said the clergyman, solemnly, “there is no preaching in hell.” “Well, it won’t be for want of ministers,” was the quick rejoinder. This was a hard cut, and the good old doctor shook his head and went his was, ruminating, doubtless, upon the doctrine oi total depravity. i A millionaire, after hearing a moralist discourse eloquently for a length of time on the precious influence of wealth, calmly relied: “You speak like an oracle, sir; but 1 have been poor, and am now rich, and ot the two conditions I preter4.be latter.” of the chivalric sons of Columbia, S. C., have ordered from a local manufacturer, an elegant Palmetto cane to bo presented to Mr. Edmundson as a testimonial Of their appreciation of his manliness in attacking a sick Congressman for truths spokep in’ debate. log has been found, apparently cedar, tvyo feet in diameter twelve and a half feet from the surface of the ground, while men were digging a well in the north-east corner of lowa county, on high prairie, two or three miles from timber, and four miles from the lowa river.
