THE DEAD LETTER [BY JOHN G. SAXE] And can it be? Ab, yes, I see, Tis thirty years and better Since Mary Morgan sent to me This musty, musky letter. A pretty hand (she couldn't spell), As any man must vote it; And 'twas, as I remember well. A pretty hand that wrote it! How calmly now I view it all As memory backward ranges— The talks, the walks, that I recall, And then—the postal changes! How well I loved her I can guess (Since cash is Cupid's hostage) Just one—and sixpence—nothing less— This letter cost in postage! The love that wrote at such a rate (By Love! it was a steep one!) Five hundred notes (I calculate) Was certainly a deep one. And yet it died—of slow decline— Perhaps suspicion chilled it; I've quite forgotten it 'twas mine Or Mary' flirting killed it! At last the fatal message came: "My letters—please return them; And yours—of course you wish the same— I'll send them back or burn them." Two precious fools, I must allow, Whichever was the greater; I wonder if I'm wiser now. GUITARS. ACCORDEONS. VIOLINS. SHEET MUSIC. MUSIC BOOKS. At BRODRICK'S. Next the Postoffice, Los Angeles.

Was certainly a deep one. And yet it died—of slow decline—Perhaps suspicion chilled it; I've quite forgotten if 'twas mine Or Mary' flirting killed it! At last the fatal message came: "My letters—please return them; And yours—of course you wish the same—I'll send them back or burn them." Two precious fools, I must allow. Whichever was the greater; I wonder if I'm wiser now. Some seven lustres later? And this alone remains! Ab, well! Those words of warm affection, The faded ink, the pungent smell, Are food for deep reflection, They tell of how the heart contrives To change with fancy's fashion. And how a drop of musk survives The strougest human passion! Harper's Magazine. Inclined to be Quarrelsome. There was once a little, slim-built feowl, by the name of Gardner, rich as Jow, and independent as the devil, riding along a highway in the State of Georgia, when he overtook a man driving a drove of hogs by the help of a big raw-boned, six feet-two specimen of his manity. Stopping the last named individual, he accosted him: "I say, are these your hogs?" "No, sir, I'm to work by the month." What pay are you getting? "Ten dollars a month, and whisky thrown in." Well, look here, I'm a weak, little inoffensive man, and people are apt to impose upon me d'you see. Now, I give you twenty five dollars a month to ride along with me and protect me; was Mr. Gardner's reply "But" he added, as a thought struck him, "how might you be in a fight?" Never been licked in my life," rejoined the six footer. Just the man I want. Is't a bar gain?" asked Gardner. Six-footer ruminated Twenty-five dollars—more than double his present wages—nothing to do but ride around and smash a fellow's mug occasionally when he got sassy. Six-footer accepted. They rode along till just night, when they reached a village. Dismounting at the door, they went in. Gardner immediately singled out the largest man present, and picked a muss with him. After considerable promiscuous jawing Gardner turned to his fighting friend. PIONEER DRUG STORE, CENTER STREET, CORNER OF LEMON, ANAHEIM. W. M. HIGGINS, Proprietor.

Six-footer ruminated Twenty-five dollars—more than double his present wages—nothing to do but ride around and smash a fellow's mug occasionally when he got sassy. Six-footer accepted. They rode along till just night, when they reached a village. Dismounting at the door, they went in. Gardner immediately singled out the largest man present, and picked a muss with him. After considerable promiseuous jawing Gardner turned to his fighting friend and intimated that the licking of that man had become a sad necessity. Six-footer peeled, went in, and won. The next night, at another hotel, the same scene was re-enacted; Gardner getting into a row with the biggest man in the place, and the six-footer doing the fighting and winning the heat again. At last, on the third day, they came to a ferry, kept by a large double-fisted man who had never been whipped in his life. Whilst crossing the ferry Gardner, as usual, began to find fault and "blow." The ferryman naturally got mad, threw things around loose and told them his opinion of their kind. Gardner then turned to his friend "from the shoulder," and gently broke the intelligence to him, "that he was very sorry, but it was absolutely necessary to whip that ferryman." Six-footer nodded his head affirmatively, but said nothing. It was plainly to be seen, however that he did not relish the job, by the way he shrugged his shoulders, but there was no help for it. So, when they reached the shore, both stripped, and at it they went. Up and down the bank over the sand, into the water, they fought, scratched, gouged, bit and rolled, till, at the end of an hour, the lorry man caved. Six-footer was triumphant, but he had found it mighty tough work. Going up to his employer, he cratched his head, and said: "Look here, Mr. Gardner, your salary sets mighty well, but I'm of the opinion that you are rather inclined to be quarrelsome." AD LETTER M. G. SAXE. Ah, yes, I see, and better I sent to me sky letter. We couldn't spell), just vote it; an ember well, that wrote it! I view it all awkward ranges— like, that I recall, postal changes! I can guess Lupid's hostage) nence—nothing less— no postage! At such a rate a steep one!) (I calculate) deep one. If slow decline— chitted it; it 'twas mine killed it! Message came: case return them; verse you wish the same— back or burn them; I must allow, the greater; er now, relsome. Here I've only been with you three days, and I've had to lick the three biggest men in the country! I think this firm had better dissolve, for you see, as I said before, I think you're inclined to be quarrelsome, and I reckon I'll draw out." MEERSCHAUM PIPES. — Smokers will be pleased to learn that large deposits of meerschaum clay have been discovered in Patagonia. Heretofore, the supply of this material for pipes has been limited, the clay being found in Turkey, Greece, Asia Minor, and on the shores of the Mediterranean in small quantities. A great many people fancy that their pipes are rest "hydrous silicate of magnesia" (that being too scientific name of genuine meerschaum); whereas the affordsaid pipes are made of common clay colored, or of bread, and are foul with the fortieth smoking. As meerschaums are the healthiest pipes possible, the Patagonian discovery is to be rejoiced at A Toast by Franklin. — Long after Washington's victories and statesmanship had made his name familiar in Europe, Dr. Franklin chanced to dine with the English and French ambassadors, when toasts being proposed, the English ambassador gave: "England; the sun, whose bright beams enlighten, cheer, and fructify the remotest parts of the earth." The French ambassador, glowing with national pride, but too polite to oppose the previous toast A Toast by Franklin.—Long after Washington’s victories and statesmanship had made his name familiar in Europe, Dr. Franklin chanced to dine with the English and French ambassadors, when toasts being proposed, the English ambassador gave: “England; the sun, whose bright beams enlighten, cheer, and fructify the remotest parts of the earth.” The French ambassador, glowing with national pride, but too polite to oppose the previous toast, gave as his sentiment: “France the moon, whose mild, and steady, and cheering rays, are the delight of all nations, consoling them in darkness, and making even their dreariness beautiful.” Franklin, the American ambassador, being now called on for his toast, with his usual promptness and simplicity, rose, and gave, “George Washington; the Joshua who commanded the sun and moon to stand still, and they obeyed him.” Calcutta merchants have a novel way of whiling away idle hours. According to a local paper, betting on drops of rain is, just now the fashion there, even respectable native business men wagering large sums of money on the rainfall. When the weather becomes cloudy wagers are laid as to the time within which the downpour may be expected. The wager being laid, the crowd wait patiently to see the water run out of the spout, for a drizzle is not recognized and unless the water drips from the spout, the party who bets that it will not rain has not lost. Sometimes the utmost confusion prevails; it rains for a few moments, and the crowd looks anxiously at the spout, if the water does not drip, the yell is terrific. Losers attribute it to foul play, and boys are immediately sent up to the top of the house to see whether the spout has been tampered with. About Advertising--It “Pays” the Town.—The Napa Register, a first rate newspaper, has a little plain talk with the people of Napa City about advertising. The Register truthfully says: The practice of advertising is less general here than in any town in the State. If all the business houses of Napa City—all its various handicrafts, and modes of livelihood were advertised—the true impression of our town would go abroad to the world. Men everywhere would see that Napa City is no stagnant inland hamlet, but a bustling, busy, prosperous city, with a grand future before it. This truth once fairly abroad, would double our population... The practice of advertising is less general here than in any town in the State. If all the business houses of Napa City—all its various handicrafts, and modes of livelihood were advertised—the true impression of our town would go abroad to the world. Men everywhere would see that Napa City is no stagnant inland hamlet, but a bustling, busy, prosperous city, with a grand future before it. This truth once fairly abroad, would double our population and business in less than five years. Think of this, men of Napa, and see if we are not right. The publisher of a newspaper is not a merchant—nor ought the price paid for an advertisement be looked upon as so much spent in charity. The publisher expects to give back an equivalent for every dime received; first, directly, in the increase of business to advertisers themselves, and indirectly, in swelling the volume of business to be done by all classes, through the increase of population, the development of the resources of the county, and the bringing constantly before the public of this and other States, the extent of our business, the wide field open for its enlargement, and the certainty that the town is a desirable spot for business investment. The Newspaper of To-Day.—One man in a hundred reads a book; ninety-nine in a hundred read a newspaper. Nearly a century ago, when the American press which is now a spreading oak, was in its green twig, Thomas Jefferson said he would rather live in a country with newspapers and without a government, than in a country with a government but without newspapers. The prose instead of being the fourth, is the first estate in the realm. There are in California 120,000 school children. 80,000 of whom attend the Public School. Nearly a million and a half of dollars are expended annually for education.
