God's Patience. There is no moro
wondrous subject than tho patience of
God. Think of the lapse of ages during
which that patience has lasted six thous
and years 1 Think of the multitudes
who have been tho subjects of it millions
on millions, in successive climes and cen
turion 1 Think of the sins which have been
all that time trying and wearying that pa
tience, their number, their heinousness,
their aggravation. The world's history
is a consoeutivo history of iniquity a
lengthend provocation of tho Almighty for
bearanco. The Church, liko a fceblo ark,
tossed on a mighty ocean of unbelief ; and
yet tho world, with its curabercrs, still
spared 1 Tho cry of its sinful millions is at
this moment entering "tho cars of God of
Sabaoth, and yet for all this, His hand of
rncroy is stretched out still,
fifiy Tho new marriage law of Califor
nia provides that parties dositing to get
married must first obtain a license from
County Clerk of the county in which tho
marriage is to bo solemnized. The fee
for this is 2. Tho clergyman or magis
trate who solciuinzcs the contract must
rcccivo this license and file it with a re
cord of tho marriage in the office of the
county recorder within thirty dajs after
tho ceremony, for which the recorder
shall rcccivo 81, Tho penalty for noglect
on his part is SCO, and for marrying and
party that does not first produce to him
the license as above required the sum of
86000,

AFTER THE COWS.
Evening is creeping slowly on,
The shadows lengthen fast,
Tho cool fresh western breezes
Are flitting softly past;
And in tho upland paiturcs
The cowbell tinkles shrill,
And crimson is the clover grass,
Upon tho orchard Hill.
Across tho verdant hill-top
And through the valley shado,
After tho cows at sunset
Go forth a lad and maid ;
Her biuo oyes seek for daisies,
His dark eyes seek hor face,
That glowing revelation
Of perfect girlish grace
Shadow is o'er the forest,
Grim aro the moorland fells;
Gossamer fairies wander
Forth from their elfin cells.
Up the lane to the milk-yard,
Moonlight crowning their brows,
Como back the lad and tho maideD,
Driving the lazy cows.

Govonor Curtin, of Ponnsylvauia,
thinks thero are enough disabled soldiers
competent to perform tho duties of assess
ors and colleotors under tho United States
revenuo laws, and ho advises Presidont
Lincoln to appoint them, in preference to
tho traditional office-seekers who are now
besieging him. This is a good sugges
tion on the part of tho Governor, whioh
wo heartily seooud. This will alford an
excellent opportunity to practico the prin
ciple of "no party." Give to tho disabled
defenders of our country this pittance and
tho nation will'applausu tho deed.

A Yankoo Story.
An Englishman was bragging of tho
English railroads to a Yankee traveller
seated at his sido in ono of tho cars of a
"fast train," in England. The engine bell
was rung as tho train neared a station,-
It suggests to the Yankee an opportunity
of "taking down his companion a peg or
two." "What's that noise 1" innocently
inquired tho Yankco. ''We aro approach
ing a town," said the Euglshiman ; they
have to commenco ringing about ten miles
before they get to a station or else tho train
would run by it before tho bell could be
heard! Wonderful, isn't it? I suppose
they haven't invented bells in America
yet t" " Why, yes," replied tho Yankee,
"we've got bells, but can't uso them on
our railroads. Wc run so 'tarnal fust that
tho train always keeps ahead of tho sound.
No use whatever ; tho sound never reach
es tho village till after the train gets by."
"Indeed 1" exclaimed tho Englishmen.
"Fact," said tho Yankee ; ''had to give up
bells. Then wo tried whistles but they
wouldn't answer cither. I was on a loco-
motivo when tho whistle was tried. Wo
were going at a tremendious rate hurri
canes were nowhtre, and I had to hold my
hair on. Wo saw a two- horse wagon
crossine tho track about five miles ahead,
sw t
and tlic engineer let tho whistle on, screech
ing like a trooper. It screamed awfully,
but it wasn't no use. Tho next thine I
knew, I was picking myself out of a pond
by the roadside, amid the fragments of tho
locomotive, dead horses, broken wagons,
and dead engineer lying beside me. Juct
then the whistlo como along, mixed un
with some frightful oaths that I heard the
engineer uso when he first saw the horses.
Poor fellow 1 ho was dead before his voice
got to him. After that wc tried lights,
supposing these would travel faster than
tho sound. We got some bo powerful that
the chickens woko up all along the road
when wo camo by, supposing it to be
morning. But the locomotive kept ahead
of it still, and was ia the darkness, with
the light close on behind it. The inhabi
tanco petitioned against it ; they couldn't
leep with so much light in tho night time.
Finally, we had to station clectrio tele
graphs along the road, with signal men to
telegraph when tho train was, in sight ;
and I have heard that some of the fast
trains beat tho lightning fifteen minutes
every forty miles. But I can't say as that
is true; but tho rest I know to bo so.''

Tho fives will have in the centro tho fivo
cent postage stamps, with a "5" in geo
metrioal lathework on each side. Tho
tens will havo a ten cent stamp with ,l10"

The twenty-fives will have five ceDt

Romance in real Life.
About twelve years ago, Edward For-
ester, country lad, born in Jefferson count
ty, ia New York, decided, liko a great
many other boys, to go to sea. His friends
opposed tho idea, but, of course, th
loro of ocean life was too strong to bs re
sisted, and young Forester joined thoso who
"go down to tho sea in ships." lie was
successful, and soonbccAmo them&toofn
whaling ship, though then scaroely beyond
his majority.
In Honolulu, Forester made the ac
quaintance of a merchant of Hakodadi,
and went with him to Japan. Hero he
remained two or thrco years engaged ia
commercial pursuits. Thence went to Chi
na, where he was taken into the Imperial
services. He became popular, both with
the foreigners and nativo authorities of
Shanghai, and was finally made second in
command to General Ward, in place of
Colonel Murgiren, who was severely
wounded in some recent engagement.
In this capacity the quondam sailor con
tinucd to bo much liked, and now enjoys
the confidence of all tho Maudarins in tho
province, and is admitted to their confi
dence, as well as tho highest and most ex
clusive Chinese society. At one time For
ester led a band of two hundred men against
the rebels, only nine of them returning, tho
rest having been killed. Ho has now twen
ty thousand troops under his command.
For his cervices he has been mado a
Mandarin of thu Blue Button, and his
name stands high in Pckin. nis rank

tient. On our trip up we had on board
a tall, gaunt-looking volunteer, whose op.
poarance not only indicated that ho was
lately from a hospital, but that it would
perhaps have peen better for him to have
remained there still, for he certainly did
not seem to be in a fit condition to travel,
Ho was from Eastern Ohio, and by soma
strange whim of his comrades (soldiers
have odd notiens as to name) he had won
the cognomen of "Beauregard." He woo
full of dry humor, and it had a peculiar
zest, coming from such a dilapidated spec
imen of the human kind. I asked him:
"How long wcro you in tho hoipital

"I stayed just five days ; I couldn't stand
it any longer."
"Why bo? Wero you not well treat

"Well, you ico, when I went in there
were six patients, 'jjfae first day they bur

"Well, what of that?"
"Nothing only tho next day they buri
