Flag of my native Ian 1 :
Those mt'i ;or foi Is a jovc me,
Tothe Iree hreozt emi 11;
Thy bpoad strip's proudly streaming,
Aiid thy stare so brightly ej.-uunug.
Tl)"_v say I wouhl forsake thee,
Should some dark crisis lower ;
That, recreant. I should make thee
Crouch to a foreign toe ;
Seduced by lieen e ample,
On thee, blest flag to trample.
Tbey say that bolts of thunder,
CU-t in the forge of Rome.
Mhv raise and bring thee under.
Flag uf my native bome ;
And with one blow diss..■ver
My heart h*um thec forever.
Fai***** are the words tbey utter ',
Ungeheviis their brand:
And rash tiie oaths they mutter.
Flag of my native laud ;
While still, iu hope, above mc
Thou Bravest—aad I love thee!
God's my love's first duty,
To v.-iio---: elernal n one
Be praise, fbr all fcbV h-aitiy,
Toy gi-andeiir and  thy fame ;.

Thine, native tUg, my second.
Woe to the foe or stranger.
Whose imcretiicioua  hand
Would to'teh Hi."1, oi- endanger,
Flair of my native land ;
Though mm i would fain dleoard me,
Mine should be raised to guard thee.
Then wave, thou first of banners,
And in thy genial shade
Let ereed-s, opinion*, "manners,
Promiscuously be laid;
And there all discord ended.
Our hearts and souls be blended.
Stream on, stream on to-fore us,
Tlmn laimi'iiuin ot liglit.,
While tn one genial c'loru'**,
Our vows to thee we p'ight;
Unfailhlui to Ih-c*1 — mworl

The following comawtits are taken ham the American :
"And when it ih ondewtood that these known
deposits of silver ore? are almo?tininndintely upon
the main imnrgrant troad, it is fair to conclude.
that along Ihis gr.-iit mountain range on eitherstdfl
are millioiis ofmini'ml wealth which mass fie de-
Trloped before California will cease to be the richest mineral country in the world. And though at
present without a good wagon road over tuemomv

probably be too (treat to n-arrant the inrnetlTat*j

CURING A JOKER.
B Y
BSTIS   0    BUI
Not a thoosaxo m^laa IVoni vvhare I live avten a
man named Sum Peabody—or at luust, eo I slml!
call Him—for Ik-is a good man now, and might
not like to have the evil deeds of liis youth mude
known among strangers. Sam was an inveterate
joker—what is den- minated a M practical joker.''
and though be never ravant any real harm, yet he
often caused much mb-chief by his pranks. On
one occasion when bJ had gone out sfct night enveloped in a white--heet to"frighten some girls,
be started to tie roadside at the approueh uf a
chaise, and frightened the horse so that the cluvsi-
w*Je stHHsfted up, and one of the ocenpaats "severely injnied.
Sam had been talked with, and argiied with, but
to no purpose. He could not; be made to see the
wickedness of his pranks. Sometimes he would
fasten lines across the sidewalk and thus trip up
pedestrians ; he would ring folks up in the night,
and ask thera if they had plenty of bHiWiag. Once
he called the doctor out at midnight to come and
attend a man who bad very bad lits. 'flu; good
old'doctor arose and lollowod Sam till tbey came
to Adam Snip's littb do 111 cil, and here the joker
called up the little how-legged tailor, and the moment Snip poked his head out at the window. Sam
cried: " There, doctor, is a man who makes the
ivjrst fits you ever saw!" and will; this he ran
away and left the doctor and tailor to settle the
matter. Thia was serious business in one sense,
but it set the whole town in a l.uiglii and Sam was
■L-li-'iied. "
Bat Sara's last practice! joke waa near at imnd.
At the edge of the village lived a man named
Jerry Smith. He was a stone worker by trade,
and as strong as au ox, One evening Jerry's wile
had been to see a neighbor, and in returning she
had to pass over & place where the road w-a.- bu.lt
upon a sort of morass, with willow trees upon each
aide. When she entered ber house she was pale
and trembling, and sank into a chair almost out of
breath.
'■ What's tbe matter?" asked lief husband.
'■I've been frightened," gasped the woman, as
s6fon as she could command ber speech.
•■ Bat how? Where?"
': Out by the willow trees. An ox, with great
horns aud fiery eyes, came out at us walking on
bis hind iegs!"
'■By thunder, it's Sum Ueabody!''' exclaimed
Jerry.    " lie killed an ox this morning'"
'■ I knew it was Sam as soon as I had time to
think," returned the wife, -for his voice was
plain ; but I was so frightened at first that I liked
to have fainted."
Jerry was angry. It did not suit his fancy to
see a defenceless woman thus treated. He Look
his hat at once and went over to a small house on
the opposite side of the street where lived bis
partner in business, another stout, iron-corded man,
named George Tyler.
'■ Look here, Tyler." cried Jerry. Sam Peabody
is out in the willows, rigged up in his ox-skin,
frightening roooi' women. Come with me, and
we'll punish him."
Tyler hesitated not a moment, but taking his
'bat be followed Jerry over to the other bouse. In
the first place Jerry took a fireboard, and with
tome marking paint he painted out a flaming placard, with letters large and distinct. Then lie go!
some of his wife's dresses, and hade Tyler put oue
of them' ou. " For," said be, " if he sees two men
coming he may run."
The dresses were thrown on after a fashion and
pinned to tae other clothing, and then tiie men
donned each one a bonnet.    They then procured a
'"Save me!" squeaked Tyler.
The ox-bide approached another step, and Jerry
leaped forward and seized it, and on the next moment Tyler wa-. by hia side.
"Now, Mi*. Peaboly, I reckon you're safe," uttered Jerry, giving him a grip Like a vice,
" Don't—don't 1" cried Sum.
'•Don't whi.t?"
i; Don't hurt me !"
"We wont hurt you if you keep quiet, but if
yon make any resistance you'd run the l\s!; of
getting your head broken."
Sam knew that Et was J^rry Smith's wife whom
he lia*3 friifhteaed, ami lie know that Jerry could
handle him as a child. He beg*cd and prayed,
but to no purpose. The two stone cullers
backed up against oue ol the willows, and then
proceeded to bind him to the trunk of the tree.	
They lashed his hands behind him. then lashed h's
ankhs together, and then they bound liim to tiie
trees at the Shoulders, waist, knees, and feet, and
they did it securely, too. After this ihey took the
fire-board and placed it against the tree above his
head, securing it by nails which they had broughi-
for that purpose.
"Mercy 1" shrieked Sam, ""you aren't agoing to
leave me here ?"
'■ Tea, sir," answered Jerry. "You have had
your share of joking long enough, and now we'll
have; ours. I would rather had you tie my wile as
you are tied th an to have had her frightened as
you came near frightening her. Mind you, Sam,
we only mean this for a joke."
And with this, the two men wont away, taking
no heed of the jokr-r's cries and protestation ;. But
they did not go faraway until they were sura
tbere "*would be no more passing 0:1 that road fbr
the night.
On the followini
agoing of Sum's pi
hour alter sunrisem

he had Been left

Mexicans!    The vile seller of your
moaning, Jerry set the news
sent situation, and in half an
hundri d people were collected
ee. There stood Sam just an
ie night before, shaking and
shivering with cold. Tho ox-skin had been fixed
so as to lit him uicely, and lie did really look like
an ox fastened up there- He had sewed up the
hide so that Irs legs abxl arms fitted into the skin
ol the ox's logs, ami hiS'OWfi head was whore the
original caput had been, while fhe horns arose
majestically above the whole. Jost above him
appeared the broad fire board, ami it bore ihe following announcement, iu chant; rers which could
be read with ease eveu at a great distance :
" This is Sam Peabody, the'great joker" And
!hi-t in one ofhis own jokes in which he got trapped hhmelff
Jerry took down the hoard and let Sam read it,
and i!ien put it up again.
'■ Ha, ha, ha!   Voir, joke." cried one.
" lie ciime-out here in that rig; to frighten poor
women !:' said Tyler.
'■ Sam, how's beef?"
'•' I say, Sam, can't you give us a horn ?■'
'■ What a long tail I"
' Who ever seed a hox rear boots afore ?"
These, and like exclamations issaod from the
crowd, and all the while poor Sam was hogging
for some one to come aud take hint down.
*; In the name of mercy,'-' lie groaned, wont some,
body let me go?"
" Can't think of it yet.'5 returned Jerry Smilb.
•'Your joke is ton good to be lost. You must
have taken a good deal of pains to make that dress
fit SO nicely, and I should think you'd want ihe
folks to see it."
'■ r.y jingo',*1 screamed little Adam Sni«, going
close up to the victim. " you have a worse fu now
'ban I ever had !    Shan't i send foi* the doetur?"
At this the crowd laughed uproarousj*^, They
would have bad ptty for any one else in town, to
have seen*him in such a situation, but i'or Sam
they had none, for ihey knew that I'm-years he had
been annoy iug all whom he cou|d ; and now, since
he was caught in a tra 1 of his own selling, tlu-y
lbought.it bust, to punish him. Ac nine o'clock
nearly all the inhabitants 0. the village were out
there, and by this time Sain began to cry. Even
Jerry was touched now. and going up to the victim,
he said :
Now, Sam, Til let you down ou one condition :
Promise that you'll never attempt to perpetrate a
pra: tical joke again V
*' I never will."
'■Of any kind or description. You'll never annoy a human being again, if you can help it?"
Never—never. I never will, so help ne
God!"
So Jerry untied the cords, and in a few moments j
Sam  was free.    He was too stilt' to run, and for n .
while he could walk bat with difficulty;    Bul Jerry gave him his arm and helped him to his own
house, and there let him remain, until the crowd,
had dispensed.
Towaids noon Sam weut home, and lor over :. '
month he stuck closely to his shop, never appear- .
iug in the street save when absolute necessity re- j
quired it.   Se kept his promise faithfully, I'or to '■
this daj he has not attempted to perpetrate another
of his practical jokes.    Aud people love him now,
ior he is one of the j oiliest old men in the country,
and Ins presence is s. ie to dispel anything like the
sulks or blues.    And among all his stories, tbere
is not- one over  which   he laughs more  merrily
than over the one wherein is contained an account
of that piaetical joke which  was so sumaiar-ily
icH^rin.

on board the Young .'ymeriea, said he V-. S, Navy

This thawed him out some, nnd he said :

The little questioner now evidently felt that she'
wa3 ou the "righttrack." and after a look that
.mowed that thus intelligence presented a now and
unexpected view ofthe atfiiir, renewed the convm--
satiou earnestly, aud the following colloipiv ensued :
"Does vo« love your little girl?';

at this, and drawing conclusions, and no doubt
from her own experience, the exclaimed :

By this time all within bearing ofthe colloquy
