.. MIDWINTER.
The frost-work shines about the pines,
The merry belli are chiming,
The happy ways of happy days
. I cannot torn to rhyming
Who leaves life's care and labor's wear,
And acts a merry part,
May find midwinter in the air,
Midsummer in the heart. r
l'et while Springs flush and Summers blush,
And Autumns color aeeper,
"While Winters pale still some must yield
Their treasures to the reaper.
Midwinter's bells ring out like knells
Upon their startled hearing;
How vainly swells the song that tells
Their loss of joys endearing !
God pity those borne down by woes
Who act life's saddest part
Who find Midwinter in the air,
jMid winter in the heart,
Jfy First Drunk on Lager Beer.
"There were four of us in one room Dukes
Brutus, Lance and myself, and I can safely
-say that four jollier cusses never occupied
afuurth-stoiy iront in a fashionable boarding
house, and eat hash together three times
every day.
We were independent, all of us, and didn't
care a three-cent stamp tor any other in the
house, v- - - .
n e paid tor the hash weekly : we never
asked to be trusted.
We all washed in a cracked wash bowl
and brushed our hair before the same mirror
(size 6 by 14, j and hung up our clothing in
the aine wardrobe, and obtained light iroiu
a vcrv smokv lamp.
Ah, that lauipl how often I have had to
strike a match to see it it was Lu.ninx !
One evening we all felt badly. We felt as
ii we would like to go home and see our
mother-, tor we had just eateu supper, and
had ha&h. or course.
We we.e all standing by the door, medi
tating what we should do. Each was smok
ing a prime segar, and viewing numerous
specimens of female beauty as they tinted
past us.
"Suppose we take a beer," said Dukes,
throwing away his segar.
We had no objections, so we stepped into
a saloon kept by a Dutchman with a very
l..rge stomach, and each ot us took a beer,
Thou Brutus insisted that we should take
a beer with him. and we did so.
Lance then gave us to understand that we
fchould not go back uu him ; so we took
bier with Lance. -
It was my turn next, and we had another
Leer.
J3y this time I begun to feel like a stuffed
rock fcfth, and bad to unbutton the top but
ton ot uiv DaotM.
Lager beer had begun to taste like dish
water and auiniue mixed together, and 1 was
confident I could write German in blank
er ( verv blank indeed. )
With our next drink we ordered a thing
called DretzeL which looks like a snake
twisted uu with the cramp colic I now l'e
as it my head was on the wrong end of me,
and I coiiuiud-d to eo home; so I starteu.
We all got safely up in our fourth-story
front, but I don't know whether I -carried
somebody up or somebody carried me up :
anyhow, we all got up and the wash basin
was wanted immediately.
'"Lancv," said I 'dou't you know (hie)
that lager beer won't intoxica e?"
"Dirtied (hie) lie 1" replied the festive
cuss who has his head on lirutus' stovepipe
hat. thinking it was the wash-basin.
"Snooks. ' said Brutus, who had hishead
under the bed aud his feet on the wash-stand
"Snooks, let's (hie) take a beer, or any
other man (hie, hie I. Four bejrsr old chap."
"Black Crooks for four ! yelled Dukes;
fill em all an again .'
'Gentlemen," said Lance, "such conduct
a those are (hie) a disgrace to the establish
ment! Gentlemen, (hie) I implore you not
to forget that we'll have hash for break
fast!" "Set 'em up again,"- said Brutus, who
now had his head over Lance's hat aud ap
peared to be groaning and reaching over it.
I wasn't in the humor for talking at that
time, for everything in the room wasdancing
a hornpipe.
The beds were promenading with each
other, the wash-stand was balancing to the
smoky lamp, and the water pitcher was dan
cing with the looking glass; while Brutus'
trunk was kicking up the dickens with mine,
Dukes' was running Lance's trunk a race
,all arouud the room.
I at last went to sleep, and dreamed I was
n hisrh pressure boiler in a Delaware river
tug boat, and thought they were getting up
steam on me. The safety valve was tied
down, and the engineer was drunk on lager
beer. Sow the steam was up to 200 pounds,
and, Jerusalem, iingo! I exploded with an
awful crash, which woke me up, and I found
htper beer running out of my mouth in a
stream as thick as my arm, and it tasted ten
times more bitter than when it went down.
When morning came I found Brutus on ler
the bed, with his head in a bat box, and his
lept on a pillow.
Lxne had his feet in Dukes coat pockets,
and Dukes had hisfeet.on a bed and his head
on a trunk; while I found myself laying
crossways on a bed ; with nothing on but my
Wts aad a paper collar.
I had an awful headache,and Lance poured
cold water on the back of my head to cure
; but it was no use, I bad the headache
for three weeks.
I was drunk all day and all night ; I believe
I was worse the second night than I was
when I drank the beer. I've had to get my
hts a size larger ever since, and whenever I
taar anybody speak of lager beer I experi
ence a nauseous sensation underneath the
lower button of my vest
Brutus and Dukes have'nt got sober yet,
Lance has sworn off. So have I. hut I ain't
going to take the pledge until I have re
covered from my first drunk on lager beer.
A Slight Mistake.
They have some affecting weddings out in
the flat country, betond the trees.
In the emi-rural district of Winona,live?,
among several other people, a good jolly
fellow of a justice of the peace. One fair
day, after the ten by twelve dispensary had
been swept, there was a step heard on the
stair, and a very viogrous rap at the door.
"Come in," said the justice.
A handsome, black-eyed, Spanish look
ing woman entered. It was a clear case of
a senorita, of the New Mexican brand. She
had on a short wollen dress, wooden soled
shoes; spotted red cheeks, black hair, and
eyes that snapped like the lock of a shot
gun. In a Spanish accent.aud in the worst
possible English, she said :
"You make justica aqusa ? You the law
man?"
"Yes madam ; be seated "
"Want paper; want paper to take the
man."
Just then a stout French half-breed en
tered the room, lie wa unable to speak a
dozen words, and he looked either scared or
bashful. The justice saw at once that there
was a marriage to come off, and turning to
the woman said :
"Want paper to take this man ?"
"Yes; want paper; me teach him."
(Nice woman thought the justice. )
"Ail right," as he turned to the manad
said; "you know this woman, caa take
her?"
The man sh.xk hishead and uttered un
intelligibla words.
"All, I see: can't talk English; well
never mind."
He ran into the street, inrited a few
friends' up stairs.aud then said to the wom
an :
"Ym want to take him ?"
"Yes me pay."
"All right."
Then turning to the nianr tvho stood
trembling:
"l'ou take this woman for better or for
worse, and promise to keep her?"
"Uuirih !" an several nods of the head.
"Then in the name of the law, and by
virtue of the authority in me vested, I pro
nounce you in.in and wife." And he step
ped forwird before the woman could say a
word, and kissed her red lips.
Slap ! came her hand in his face, and she
cluched his hair. The new husband jump
ed to fake the woman away, an 1 o protect
her, as the man supposed, when in self-ile
fense the justics gave him a rap on the nose.
The woman pitched into the new husband,
who in turn pitched into her, and for about.
five minutes there was a general bustling.
At last th parties were separated, when
the man and woman took another turn at
each other, the h'ood and hair flying in ev
ery direction. D wn came the stove, over
went the table, clatter went the chairs, and
into the street like mad went the justice.
with the bosom of 1 i f-hirt looking like a
warrants deed coven d with red seals !
A crowd rushed up stairs and found the
man and woman lying on the floor. I he wom

husband with a wili-
The newly married couple were scpirated,
when through the aid of the two interpre
ters it was discovered that the parties, oc
cupyiDg adjoing shan'ies in the lower part
the town, had cot into a dispute over
some htove-pipe that was claimed by tioth.
and from words they had come to blows.
Each party had hastened to the justice for a
warrant tor the other, with the result as
stated above.
The last news from there-was that the
parties had gone in f-earcliot auother jus
tice to uumarry them.
Stamping A Deed. Blinker, a farmer
of means who does not take the paper, nor
read the laws, but who thinks his wisdom
boundless, sold a pasture for three hundred
dollars. The purchaser, having counted out
the money looked at the deed and said
"Mr. Blinker, you must put a fifty cent
stamp on the deed to make it lawful."
"What! stamp adeel? It's all folly;
there's no such law," said Blinker, on his
dignity
His friend explained, but failed to make
Blinker see it, and was obliged to say,
ell, if you do not stamp the deed, 1
shall not pay you the money."
It you are so darned particular, au Blin
ker, 1 suppose l can stamp it hlty cents
worth, but I hate to spoil the squire's wri
ting." Th 5 deed was handed him ; he off with his
coat, stepped back into the room, laid the
deed on the floor, and commenced stamping
it with his loot Ihe purchaser, the squire
and witness, turned all colors, and finally
autrhed hysterically. Catching his breath
one said,
"What are you doing Bliuker are you
ii )
crazy
"Doing? Why I am stamping this darned
deed fifty cents' worth, and I calculate 'twill
takeuiefhe hours, reckoning time at ten
cents an hour."
California is rapidly coming to the front
as the wheat-growing State of the Union.
Her wheat crop for 1S67 footed up to over
twenty million bushels, and as it realized
fully $2 50 in gold pr bnshel.it follows that
she is to-day 50.000.0. M) better off for it.
Add to that the value of 4.000,000 gallons of
wine and brandy, and an almost incalculable
fruit crop, and you have some idea cf the
money realized by the farmers of California
last year. It i estimated that this year ,
000,000 acres will be planted in wheat alone.
Give the average of thirty bushels per acre
the estimate is a tow one for California
and we fhail have 3 i.OOO.OOO bushels of
wheat. This places California in the front
rank rjf wheat producing States. Her corn
cro, is of small account, and the barley and
oat crops will, perhaps.be less than in 1867,
but the aggregate will bo i norraous and must
materially affect the grain market.
Hard to Please. Pitts is a fast man, a
sharp man, a business man, and when Pitts
goes into a storeto trade he always gets the
lowest cash price, and he says "Well I'll
look about, and if I don't find anything that
suits me better I'll call and take this "
Pitts, like all fast men. is partial to wom
en, and young ones in particular. Now,
quite lately, Pitts said to himself "I am
getting rather 'long iu years, and guess I'll
get married." "
His business qualities wouldn't let him
wait, so oft he travels, and calling up a lady
friend, opened conversation by remarking
tint he would like to know what she thouht
about his testing married.
"Oh, Mr. Pitts, that Is an affair in which
I am not so greatly interested, and I prefer
to leave it with yourself!"
"But," say J'itts, "you are interested ;
and, my dear girl, will you marry me ?"
The young lady blushed very red, hesita
ted, and dually, as Pitts was very well to do
in the world, and morally, financially and
politically of good standing iu society, she
accepted him ; whereupon the matter-of-fact
pjtts responded "Well, well. I'll look
about, and if I don't find anybody that suits
me better than you. I'll come back."

Un dry ice, rubber overshoes are a pretty

up tuid down steep and slippery rocks with

A lawyer once came into court drunk,
