admirable actions are' overlooked because they
IN little and common I Take, for instance, the

. nursing- babe, whose wants must
apt be_disregarded. She would fain sleep Awhile,
when thebreakfaat bonr comes, but patiently
and uncomplainingly she takes her seat at the
table. ',Though exhausted: and weak, she serves'
a with a refreshing cup of coffee or tea before,
she sips. any herself, and often , the clap is hand.
ed back before she has time to sip her own.
Do you heti r her-complain—the wearyinother--
%bather breakfast is cold before She has - had
time tat it ? And this is not for one but for
every, morning—perhaps through the year.

OIL iOURSELF : A LITTLE
There is true humor in the folloWing story.;
Once upon a time there lived an old'gentleman
in a lam house.. .lle had servants and every
'thing be Wanted ;yet he was not happy.; and
it things did not•o•as ne wished he "ins very
cross. At last his servants left him. Quite ,
out of "temper he went too z neigo3or with a
story of distress.' '

ciously, 6 .,"twould be.well for 'you to
.oil Your
self a little." •• • - .... . •t' •
"To Oil myself ?"
"Yes ; Z will explain. . Some . time ago
one of the doors in my .house' creaked.'
body, therefore, liked to go In or out by it.
, One. day. I oiled its hinges, and it has been
constantlfased by everybody ever sinee." •
'limn you think I - ani; like the creaking
door," cried the old gentleman. "How do you
want me to oil myself ?"..,
,"That's An easy matter," •said
. the neighbor.
"Go home and engage 'a set:rant, said 'when be
doearighti.praise him. • If, on ,the contrary; he
does something amiss do not be cross ;.oil your
voice , and words , with-the oil of loie."
The old gentleman :went home, and no barei
or, ugly words were ever heard in the bunse
afterward. Every family - should have a bottle
of this preciows oil, forivery . family i& liable to
have a creaking hinge in the shape of, a. fat.

a fault finding spirit.
MACADAMIZING C. STREET.
Previous to the recent maeadamizing of
C. Street Virginia, city, curious persons bad
assays made ot ; the mud which abounded there.
None of these assays were less than $7, and
one of them went {as. high 'as $11.58 "ii-ton.--
The latter assay was ;node froin the, mud
Which was clinging to a buggy ...wheel when
the buggy stopped in front of the California
bank. Recently, C. street has been mscadainized
with quartz taken from' the' Arida and' Old
Optic dumps - of waste rock. The old mud
.having been taken off the..street, fifty two feet
ikwidthwas filled sixteen inches deep in the
Centre and four inches at the edges with the
waste quartz. The whole distance from But
.ton avenue, where the work ends on the north,
to the ,Cold Hill line, where it is to stop, is
about a mile. There will be a Place from the
fourth-wail schoolhouse to the top of the Di
vide which will not. receive the rock. * This
will leaves little over 5,000 feet which is and
irio be macadamized. To fill the street for this
distance with rock will lake at least 16,6663
tons. Some pieces of this , fill are rich in both
silver and gold. Experts place the value of
the whole at Mira $8 to $lO if? ton. Taking
the lesser estimate as an ayerage, and there is
now on and -to be placed on C street not lass
than $133,3333 in gold and silver.
PRINTER'S DEVIL.
The origin of the
. term "printer's devil" has
been traced‘back to Aldus Manntitus, a printer
of Venice in the establishment of this worthy,_
was II negro boy who rendered: assistance in
the maltifarioua work of the office, and who,
on aecount of his dusky colur, was believed by
the superstitious to .be an emissary of the
Prince of Darkness. From this notion of the
credulous, the boy gained the soubriquet of
"printer's devil." To . dissipate !the ridiculous
superstition, Itlanutittis one day exhibited the
lad to the populacewith the announcement.
"I. Aldus Manutitus, prOter to - the .Ltoly
Cbureh and Doge, have this day made public
exposure of the rnutTun'B DEVIL. All who
think that he is not tlesh and blood, come and
pinch him. -

The following letter from B. s. Best. Pastor of the

by- many physicians also those suffering from the
same disease as afflicted the son of the Rev:B.S.Best.
No person can doubt this testimony. as there is • no

Mr'. H. R. Ftevens :
,_Dear Sir—We have a good reason forregarding your
Vcgetine a medicine of the greatest -value. We feel
assured that it has been the meuns,of ravine our Eon's
life. He is now Reventeen years of age; fur the lest
two years he has suffered from necrosis of his leg.cana
ed by scrofulous affectien, and was so far reduced that
nearly all who law him thought his recovery impossi
bi-i.:. A - council of able physicians could give us but the
faintest hope °this ever rallying; ,two of the number
declaring that ho was beyond the reach of human rem
edles. that even amputation could not save him ,as he
had not vigor enoubh to endure the operation. Just
then we commenced giving him Vegetine and from that
time to the present he has been continuously improv
ing. lie has lately resume& studies, thrOwn away his
cratebes and cane, and waits about - cheerfully and
strong.
Though there instill some discharge from the open
ing where hie limb was lanced. we have the fallen con
fidence that in a little time he will be periectly cured.'
Re has taken about three dozen bottles' of Vegettni.
but lately uses but little, as be declares he is too well
to be taking medicine . • -
