I've seen many a girl .
Who would marry ohurl,
Provided he'd plenty of gold,
And would live to repent, , !l
When tbe money was spent.
When she found that her heart had been sold.
It is so ! It Is so !
You may smile, if you Ilka,
But it is so! '
I've known many a lass
Who would thouehtlessly pass
Whole hours promenading the street,
While her motbor would aornb
All tha while at the tub,
Never minding tho cold or tha heal.
It is so ! It Is so !
Ton mav smile, if yon like,
But it is so!
There is many a man
Wbo will "dross" if ba oan, ,
No matter how empty his purse,
And his tailor may look
When he settles bis book,
But his patron has vamoosed or worse.
It is so! It is so!
You mar smile, if you Ilka,
But it is so!
I know people so nice
They will faint in a trios.
If yon mention hard labor to tnem,
Yet tbcfr parents ware poor
And were forced to endure
Many hardships life's current to stem.
It is so! It is so!
You may smile, if yon Ilka,
But it is so !
There are many about
With a face ''long drawn out,"
Wbo will prate for the barm of a laugh,
Yet they'll cheat all the week,
Though Sundays quite meek.
To my mind they're too pious by half.
It is so ! It is so !
You may smile, if you like,
But it is so !
TALES & SKETCHES.
MR. KELOK.VSi ItETE.'VUE.
Mr. Belden was a lawyer in tho town of
11. He was aa intelligent, upright, kind
hearted, pious ninu. But lie had a neighbor
who was very iliirerent. Jacob Mills, "Old
Jake," us be was culled by tbe buys of the
iieiobhorbood, lived by Mr. Pelden in an old
tuniblu-dow u hnusc, in which he had been
born and brought up, aud which ho would
either sell nor repair, so that in time it cauie
to be the one blot on uu otherwise pleasant
and tidy-looking street. Old Jaku was a
miser; that is he preferred to hoard up his
money rather than spend it in making him
selt'utid others comfortable. So he lived year
after year, in the dingy, chilly old house,
with no one to take cure of him but a wo
man whom he hired to conic in twice a
week to cook some food for him and mend
his clothes ; though as to the latter, ho was
not very particular how they looked. ,
The boys used to peep in at the windows
and watching him counting over his gold
and putting it carefully away in the old
russet trunk, till one night he happened to
catch them at it, and alter that he always
put up the shutters and bolted the door at
nightfall. Finally, tho woman who had
taken care of him for a long tinio was
obliged to go away from B to live. He
had not paid her anything for more than
two years, always putting her off when she
asked for her wayes, and promising to pay
ut the next quarter day, or else getting so
angry that she dared not presa the matter.
But now that she was going away, she
plucked up courage and told old Jake she
must have her money, stating the sum he
owed her. Old Jake swore ho did not owe
her so much, and finally refused to give her
anything unless she would stay another six
months.
The poor woman went to Mr. Selden and
asked Lis help. Luckily she had old Jake's
written promise to pay ber so mucn a
month; for knowing bow miserly he was,
she had exacted that when she began to
work for him. So Mr. Selden took the pa
per over to the old man, and told him if he
would not pay the bill forthwith be would
be prosecuted. Jacob was in a ureat raue,
as you may imagine, but knowing very well
that if be went to law tbe case wouia go
against him, and he should have more to
pay, he at last reluctantly handed over the
amount smull enough, indeed, but great in
the eyes of the poor old money-loving man.
After this, Mr. Selden became tue otvjeci
of his special hatred. Old Jake blamed
him for tbe loss of his precious dollars,
and threatened vengeance against lam.
lie was too much afraid of the law to do
any open mischief, but bo found many se
cret ways of annoying and injuring bis
neighbor. If Mr. Sen den's hens happened
tony over the fence into Old Jakes s yard
they never came. back, though there was no
garden for them to sptril. If Mrs. Boiden
had a particularly large washing on tbe
lines he would build a bonfire so as to have
tho smoke and snot blow on the clothes.
Mary Suldon's pet kitten was thrown over
the fence with its poor little pawl cut off,
and Old Jake bought a vicious dog, though
be could hardly bring himself to keep a
creature that devoured so much food, wbo
was tauuht to snap and bark At the children
on their way to and from school. Luckily,
alter about ux months, ''tax . osy came
round, and Jake, unwilling to pay two dol
lars even for the sake ol tormenting tue Bel
den's, gave him up to be killed.
So it went on tor several years, rmaiiy,
to ctown all, Mr. Seldeu's cow died sudden
ly, and was found to have been poisoned.
Notbini; could be prtved as to wuo did it,
and so no redress could be bad. By this
time Mrs. Selden's patience had about run
out. Maov time she beesed her husband
to kn and threaten Jake with some sort of
punishment if he did pot stop such wicked
treatment of those who bad done nothing to
deserve it. Mr. Selden, too, was much irri
tated, especially at tbe loss of bis cow, wbtcb,
beside being a valuable one, ' bad been a
great pet with the family, and long suffer
ing as be bad been, tbe lawyer ielt that he
could not bear old Jake c annoyances mucu
longer without some remonstrance.
While ho was ponderino what it was best
to do, the miser suddenly fell sick of a fever,
and now he -was miserable Indeed. 'Tbe
fever was severe and nurses were difficult to
be hd. Several were unwilling to go, be.
cause of the old man's miserly babita and
bad temper, knowing that probably the pa
thov would eet would be accompanied with
his lasting hatred. 6o H happened that at
tha worst staize of the disease be was left en
tirely alone, aa Mr. Seldeo 4appeo4 to And
on going home from his office one evening.
He sat d'wn to read bis newspaper as nsnsl,
but his kind heart could sot rest t ihe
thought of his poor qulgUbor lyUg ; ther
-Wife." aald he, at length, ! am going to
have our doctor for Jacob, jwd, to vatch
olth him to nieht Lavish sou would civ
me some of that jelly we had for .dinner,
and some wis to carry over.
"'' r. - f -Vf -.:- rr.
ii '" "
: SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 30,
"I don't like to have you fro," a'd his
wife ; "I am afraid Jake will kill you if he
sees you in his house, he hates yon so."
"lie 1 too sick for that," replied Mr. Sel
den, and taking the comforts which his
wife had prepared, ho went over to the
gloomy old house, sending his little son for
the doctor. ., . ,
Pitiful indeed was tho iceno that met his
gaze on entering the room whore old Jako
lay tossing on his bed, without fire, without
light, uttering wild, delirious cries, and then
sinking back, exhausted, into a kind of
stupor. Mr. Selden tried to make the old
man a little more comfortable, lighted a fire,
sent home for a shaded lamp and a book or
two, and prepared to psss the night in tho
sick room. Tho doctor anticipated a crisis
of the disease during the night, but it did
not come till the next day, just at evening.
A nurse had meanwhile been procured, '
Mr. 8e!den offering to guaranty him com
pensation for his services, but ho himself re
mained with tho sick man most of the time,
as more than one person was required to
hold Jacob in tho fits of delirium. At
length, after a fearful paroxysm, ho sank in
to a troubled sleep, which gradually became
more peaceful, and continued for some hours.
When awake he was conscious, and saw
some one sitting by the fire reading, lie
lay quietly awhile, trying to think where he
was, and who could be sitting by bis fire,
for as Mr. Belden sat w ith bis back to tho
bed. in a large, high'-lmcked chnir, nothing
but the top of bis bead was visible.
"Who are you, and what are you there
for?" growled he faintly at length.
Mr. Selden quiety turned round, saying:
'You have been very sick, and I came in to
take care of you."
Old Jake tried to raise himself in bed. but
fell back helplessly, bis liice darkening with
rage at his own weakuess and at Mr. Selden's
presence.
'Go away," ho cried; "how dare you come
here to insult me when I am sick I" and the
old man tried again to rise, and aguin full
back.
"You must keep quiet, my friend." said
Mr. Selden gently; "1 came here to help you,
and not to insult you, and as soon as you
are better, I will go away."
The old man snarled an inarticulate replv,
and turned bis head away. After a little
while Sir. Selden apponcbed him ngnin, and
offered him some jelly. The old man's eyes
brightened at it, aud in npite of his hatred
of the offerer he could not resist the desire
to lttotC it.
Mr. Selden fed him a little while, and then
Old Jake asked where it came from.
"My wife sent it to you." was the answer.
"Take it away!" growled J.ike ; anil nuniii
turning his lacoto the wall, he closed his
eyes, aud remained quiet for An hour or
more.
Mr. Selden thinking he had fullcu asleep
again, was about to leave the room and
awaken the nurse, who hud i;oue to lie clown,
when Old Jako called him. Mr. Selden
went to the bed room and asked him w hat
he wanted.
"I say, neighbor," said the old muti, you're
a Christian."
"I hope," said Mr. Selden, nstouished at
such a word from Old Jake's mouth.
"I know you are," Jako went on ; 'Tvc
heard prcaehen' enough in my day, and it
didn't do me no good, neither ; it's mighty
easy to say w hut's right to do, but why the
d 1 you come here to tuke care of an old
cuss like me, that hasn't doue anything but
torment you for years, is more than I can
iiiuku out, unless it's because you're a Chris
tian." "Why I couldn't sec you sick and let you
suffer, you know," said Mr. Selden.
"No, I don't know no such thing," per
sisted old Juke. "I should have treated you
mighty different, I swear."
"Never mind that, neighbor," replied Mr.
S., "we'll be good friends after this, I hopo.
Try now and bo cjuict, so as to get well."
"I can't bo quiet," cried old Juke, actu
ally bursting into tears, till I've said my say.

The Oeor tor Use Sew Capitol.
The great Washington door for the new
Capitol at Washington is now being finish
ed at tho Ames Works, in Chicopeo, where
two entire years have been spent upon it.
Many of tho panels are already completed.
and the work is progressing as fist as its
peculiar complexity will allow. Designed
by tho lamented Crawford, Just previous to
his death, it was his chief d'wutre. Had ho
survived, undoubtedly the contract for
casting would have gone to Munich, like its
predecessor, the Columbus historic door,
such was his prcdujicc against bis country
in this respect. Tho massive tloor has eight
panels, four on a side, emblematic respec
tively of r?ace and war. ' On tho side de
voted to peace, cnintncnciug nt the bottom,
is a group of Washington and his family,
representing the peaceful condition of tho
country at the close of the Ucvolutionary
struggle. Next above is tho ovation at
Trenton, then a scene representing the. ad
ministration of tho oath of ofiice, and crown-
ing this section is the laying of tho corner-
stone of the Capitol building.
The war side has first a panel symboliz
ing the stern ideal of deadly strife. a Bri
tish grenadier, fully armed, attacking a ,
peaceful farmer near a rude log cabin, whoso
sinewy arm has already sent him reeling to
the ground, while the stalwart yeomen's
wife is seen handing her husband his trusty
firelock, in r;aso he should need it. About
this :s tho Bayonet Charge at Trenton, then
the Rebuke of general Leo by Washington,
at Monmouth, and finally the Death of Gene
ra! Wurren. Tho panel representing the
reprimand of General Lee is a most striking
and lifelike scene. Washington had always,
it seems, suspected Lee of disloyalty, and
on this occasion found that he had not only
failed utterly to carry out his express orders,
but bad actually ordered and commenced a
most cowardly retreat. Washington is seen
as having ridden rapidly to where he meets
Lee, under a tree, and, rising in the stirrups
of his saddle, administers a rebtiku that
droops the traitor's head as much as Lee's
military salute to his chiul'taiu bus bis
sword.
It is snid that this was the only instance
in which Washington was ever Known to
iiso language evcu bordering on profanity.
The singular thing about this particular
panel is that Jell. Duvis was one ot tho
commissioners to examine I raw lords de
igns for this historic and conspicuous piece
f work for the new Capital the wonder
H-intr that he or any other Southern man
should . have consented to emblazon this
withering shame on one of the most chivaric
sons of tho South. Yet so it is, and let tho
sympathisers with his fitting representative
n the person of liobert L. Lee, remember
10 prophecy of the panel, and its historic
verification to day. SiirinafiM Ikpublkav.

Dr. 15. G. Wilder, late surgeon of the 05th

tho first of four lectures upon the above sub
ject in Boston, Tuesday evening. Tho Jour
nal gives tlis loUowiug bnel but interesting
synopsis:
Ibuorstor these species of spider was
discovered by tho lecturer on the north end
of Folly Island, in Charleston Harbor, while
n camp there in August. 18(13. lie wound
from its body in one hour and a quarter 150
yards of yellow silk. Tho next year another
ollicer wound from thirty spiders 3,484
yards, or nearly two miles of silk. A single
thread of this was stron; enough to sustain
a weight of from 54 to 107 grains. In 1865,
Dr. Wilder showed his specimen to Prof.
Agassiz, aud others, to whom the species
was new. lleturmiig to Charleston ho re
sumed his researches, and after a variety of
adventures and disappointments, succeeded
n gutting a unmber of the spiders. In the
course of tho season these all died, from
lack of knowledge as to their habits, mode
of living, &c. From tho eggs deposited,
however, many others were produced. It is
the habit of tho stronger to devour the
weaker, so that out ct several thousand.
only a few hundred were raised. The fact,
however, was clearly demonstrated that they
could bo raised and live through a Northern
winter. In tbe succeeding lectures, the
method of securing the silk, and other facts
in regard to this intciesting discovery win
be trivon. Specimens of tin silk were ex
hibited, which was of a golden yellow and
a silver white, and as brilliant as the metals
in appearance J
Gas fiiom Wood An Important Inven
tion. The Detroit papers give a detailed
account of an invention which bids fair to
greatly reduce tho price of gas. A Mr. En
Bley, a Canadian, several years since, was
struck with the fact that smoke, issuing from
a vessel in which tar was being boiled out
of pitch pine, would burn. He pondered
over it, visited several gas works, until his
ideas became clearer and led him to con
struct a small retort for experimental pur-
poses. His attempts to discoversome means
by which the gas might be separated from
the various other constituents of the wood
were for a long time in vain, and it was
only alter seven years continued study and
Mlecliou that bis perseverance was rewarded
by a solution of tha problem, which enabled
lti in to olituin a pateut for the United btates
and tho British Provinces. Mr. Ensly, how
ever, lacked enterprise and means to carry
the thing through. But he has recently
found in a Mr. Moffat, of Komoko, C. W., a
gentleman wealthy enough and sufficiently
confident of the success of the invention to
give it a fair trial, and a large model has
U'en set lip at Mr. Moffat's as a means for
that purpose. It is claimed that 4.500 feet
of gas can be produced from half a cord of
wood and a barrel of hones. But this is not
the only saving. When thfe arti'ls are con
sumed in accordance with Mr. Ensley'a di
rections, there is no waste whatever, but
simply a transmutation into other commo
dities of nearly equal value, to which the gas
is superadded. 1 lie wood, for instance,
yields not only gas, but charcoal, tar and
turpentine. The bone give a residuum of
ivory black, pbosporons and ammonia of a
superior Cjiulity ; and tbe vegetable sub
stances residuum of other things, which fur
ther scientific experiments will no doubt yet
bring to light and find use for.

A Bkau ia Bkdiioom. On Thursday

from his kennel and started on an exploring
expidition through the premises, landing

way through the houso. In passing through
tho hall ho came in contact with one of tho

closely, and took his stand in the door. Tho
gin, seeing retreat cut off, crept under tho
bed to bide from tho monster. Tho inmate
of tho couch a lady, being awakened by the
screams of the girl, and seeing bruin ma
king 1ms way toward the bed, started up in
a hurry, completing her toilet in a more ex
peditious manner, wo venture to say than
she had ever done in her lile before and
added her screams to those of the eirl. ' Tho
bear comineuccd a charge upon the fHj'r nc9
being evidently in a pportivo mood. By a
dexterous flank movement he cornered them
both, and, raising himself upon his bind
legs, he looked intently iuto their luces, as
if to say, "What do you think now, my
dears?" By this time nearly tho whole house
was aroused, and enmo to the rescue of tho
besieged. Bruin was seized by some of the
masculine gender and taken to his kennel,
while the frightened women were taken care
of by tho female portion of tho house. They
only blushed at having been Been in so scant

and the remainder arc hotels. Tho hotels
are all furnished with bars. Wo would state,
in justice to this city, that there arc three
exceptions to this rule a billiard hall, where
w hiskey is dispensed, and two offices each
furnished witli aside-board. Sheridan city
has ono churc'i, and owns an institution
called a sweut-bnard. Tho iuha! itants are
