' f •}' met ! laige J-: g.-niou
of citizens of Piaeervile; who had come out
to meet the celebrated editor and escort
him into town. There was a military eOtn
pany, a brass band, and a six horse wagon
toad of beautiful damsels in utilkwhitc
dresses, representing all the States in the
Union. It was nearly dark now, but the
delegation was amply provided with tore-li
es and bonfires all along the road to Placer
villo.
The citizens met the coach in the outskirts
of Mud Springs, and Mr. Monk reined in
his foaming steeds.
'"ls Mr. Grecly on board?" asked the
chairman of the committee.
"He was a few miles back!" said Mr.
Monk, "yes," lie added, looking down
through the holo which the fearful jolting
had made in the coach roof—"yes I can
see hiui! He is there !"
"Mr, Greeley," said the Chairman of
the Committee, presenting himself at the
window of the coach. "Mr. Greeley, sir !
We have come to most cordially wolcome
you —why, God bless tne, sir, you are bleed
ing at the nose V
"I've got my orders," cried Mr. Monk.
"My orders orders is as follers : Git him
there by seving. Standout of the way."
"Gut sir," exclaimed the Committeeman
seizing the off leader by the reins, "Mr.
Monk, we are come to escort him to town.
Look at the procession, sir, and tbe brass
baud, and the people, and the youtig wo
men sir !"
"I've got my orders." screamed Mr.
Monk. My orders don't say notliin, about
brass band and young women. My orders
say, git him there by seving. Let go them
lines. Clear the way there. Whoo cp !
Keep your seat, Horace!" and tbe coach
dashed wildly through the procession, up
setting a portion of the bra- s band, and vi
olently grazing the wagon which contained
the beautiful young women in white.
Years heuce, gray haired men, who were
lirtle boys in the procession will tell their
grand children how this stage tore through
Mudd Springs, and how Horace Greeley's
bald head ever and anon showed itself, like
n wild up pa rat ion, above the coach roof.
Mr. Monk was on time. There is a tra
dition that Mr. Greeley was indignant for a
while : then he laughed, and finally present
ed Mt. Monk with a bran new suit of clothes.
Mr. Monk, himself, is still in the employ
ment of the California Stage Company, and
is rather fond of relating a story that has
made him famous all over the Pacific coast.
Gut he say- he yields to no man in his ad
miration for Horace Greeley.
THE CA.tiDLE FISH.
Mr. John Lord, an Englishman, who
went to British Columbia as scientific mem
berof the commission appointed to mark
theboundry line between Brirish and I'nited
States territory, li.i published in London
an account of his travels, in a volume entitled
"The Naturalist in Vancouver Island and
British Columbia." Among his stories is
the following account of an extraordinary
fish:
"I have never seen any fish half as fat

THE WAYSIDE FLOWER.
I saw a wayside flower, and .said, from
this I will gather instruction. The passer
by had not deigned to look upon it, and it
had stood unheeded and unappreciated all
the day long, wasting its perfume upon the
passing breeze This lesson the little flower
taught me : that, in our daily walk, we may
p-'S unnoticed fair and beautiful beings,
who, because they are unobtrusive, are un
&p predated.
1. resolved tc seek for beauty andgoodnesa
everywhere, and make my own choice of the
beautiful expressions of (rod's love strewn
along life's pathway. The kind Father's
hand has left no place desolate. The world
is full of life and beauty. The sky above
vies with the earth beneath in splendor and
conscious gladness; there is no sight or
sound iu nature but speaks of joy and praise
—from the birds, the insects, the waving
trees, the sunlight spreading a golden man
tle over all nature. The sweet sounds that
come to the ear, set to the exquisite music
of Nature's own heart, all tell of love, deep
and pure, that distils on human hearts as
dew upon the wayside flower. The chorus
of nature is as a wave on the great ocean of
eternity, to be wafted onward, and break at
last before the throne of the Invisible. How
strikingly the blight of nature tells, by its
fate, the knowledge it has of human destiny.
Surely it was fashioned for a happier world.
I saw the bereaved mourner, bending over
the form of one she loved, stricken, smitten
by the hand of the spoiler. There was an
unutterable anguish on her brow, which no
pen can describe; grief, which He only who
sent it knows how to assuage. As a blos
som broken from the supporting stem, she
bowed broken-hearted ; then were those un
accustomed to weep subdued to tears, and I
took deep into my heart this lessou of human
sympathy. I was glad that God had given
us hearts to sorrow with the sorrowing, to
weep with the mourner, and to pray with
the broken hearted.
Dankness hid settled over the earth, and
I watched the stars as they one by one,
reached down their finger lines of light;
and, as I stood gazing into the immensity, a
voice seemed to whisper: what lesson art
thou learning ? I looked, and beheld worlds
upon worlds, reaching out invisible hands
to other worlds. How my sou! swayed with
admiration and feat! — Again T sought the !
wayside flower. Front musing upon the
starry worlds above and the immensity of
space, 1 drew down my gaze and heart to
commune with the meek eyed teacher of
earth.
It was just dying. Some ruthless foot
had just ciushed its modest head and bro
ken its slender stem; yet, a perfume regaled
my v uses ; for, like some pious saint, it
shed the incense of prayer and forgiveness
upon the heart and head of its heartless de
stroyer, and lay in the dust meek and sub
mis.-ive to its hapless fate. Ah! what a
heart lesson did its sweet ministry teach me !
Frail wayside flower! the gentle, the angelic
of .-pints are all around us, as we tread with
liaste cnergx-M • Impupehfare of life. May

UISIM; IN THE WOULD.
You should bear constantly in mind that
oine tenths of us are, from the very nature
and ueci'- ity of the world, horn to gsin our
livelihood by the sweat of our brow. What
reason, have we then, to presume that our
children are not to do" the same ? If they
be, a - now and tben one would be, endow
ed with extraordinary powers of mind, those
extraordinary powers of mind may have an
opportunity of developing themselves ; and
it they have not that opportunity, the harm
i-not very great to us or them. Nor does
it hence follow that the descendants of la
borers arc always to be laborers. The path
upwards is steep and long, to be sure. In
dustry, care, skill, excellence, in the present
parent, lay the foundation of a rise under
more favorable circumstances for the chil
dren. The children of these take another
rise ; and by-and-by the of the
parent laborer become tccntlemeu. is
tbe natural progress. It is by attempting
to reach the top at a single leap that so
much misery is produced in the world. So
ciety may aid in making the laborer virtu
ous and happy, by bringing children up to
labor with steadiness, with care, and with
skill, to show them how to do as many use
ful things as possible : to do them all in the
best manner; to set them an example in
industry, sobriety, cleanliness, and neatness;
to make ali tbc. c habitual to them, so tfcpt
they never shall be libable to fail { 0

A ROYAL DOWRY.—The Princes Dagmar
receives a rich dower from her father, ai is
usual in ordinary families, but from her hus
band and her father-in law, Alexander IL,
who presents her 100,000 silver roubles—
about eighty-four cents each—which is to be
invested in Russian funds, the interest to
be paid to the Princess. The royal husband
gives his wife 50,000 roubles, and her annu
al allowance is to be roubles for pin
money. Should the Princess become a wid
ow, her jointure is fixed at 85,000 roubles a
year, with a residence suitable to her rank
and her court to be continued at the charge
of the State. Should, however, she then
quit Russia, the sum would be reduced to
one half. The jointure would likewise ceare
in case of a second marriage. Even in that
eventually, the Princess would maintain
Eossession of whatever property she may
ave acquired personally and independently
of her husband. The Princess is to receive
from the subjects of Denmark, as a private
wedding present, an ebony book-case and an
album, costing collective about seventeen
thousand dollars.
THE II("MAN EYE. The language of the
eye is very hard to counterfeit. You can
read in the eyes of your companion, while
you talk, whether your argument hits him
though his tongue will not confess it.
There is a look by which a man shows he is
going to say a good thing, and a look when
he has said it. Vain and forgotton are all
the offices of hospitality, if there be no holi
day in the eye. How many furtive invita
tions are avowed by the eye, though dissem
bled by the lips. A man comes away from
a company; he has heard no important re
mark, but if in sympathy with the society,
he is cognizant of such a stream of Ufa as
has been flowing to him through the eye.
There are eyes that give po more admission
into them than blue berries others are liquid
and deep wells that men might fall into; and
others are oppressive and devouring, and
take too much notice. There are asking and
asserting eyes, eyes full of faith—some of
good and some of sinister omen.
DEATH OF THE INFANT DAIUHTEH OF
GF.N. TO.H THL'MH.—Yesterday Minnie
Strafton. or as the child used to call herself
Minnie Tom Thumb the infant daughter of
Gen. and Mrs. Tom Thumb, died at the
Norfolk Hotel. Norwich. The child was

professional visit to Yarmouth and Lowes

and two medical gentlemen were oailcd in:
they failed, however, to allay her sufferings,
anu yesterday the child died from inflamma
tion of the brain. Mrs. Tom Thumb was
sent for; she arrived in Norwich on Thurs
day, and remained in attendance on the lit
tle sufferer till her death.— LumJon Tile

been received. The pit where the explosion
uficatxeil.. is two luiudievl aft] fifty yards in
two miles. Some three hnndred perBS
were in the mine at the time, nearly all of
whom were killed. Forty dead bodies have
been counted within a space of one hundred
and seventy feet. A very few sufferers have
been rescued in a shocking state of mutila
tion, but there is no hope that any more can
be gotten oat alive. The excitement in
the vicinity Ls of :t most painful nature.
Eighty of the dead had been taken out
when the second explosion occurred, and a
portion of the rescuing parties who were
