The Lost Camel.
Some boyB, and men too, do not
use their eyes, They pee, and yet
they do not see. Others are wise,
and take note of what they see: and
tho more they do this, tho more they
can do it.
I will tell you a story of a lost
camel, which will show you what I
mean. Try to got this way of look-
ing at what you see, and of thinking
of it.
This is tho story. A man was go-
ing over a sandy desert, lio met
two traders, and he spoke to them.
"JlavS you lost a camel V said
this man to thu traders.
"Yes, wo have," they said.
"Was tho camel blind iu his right
eye, and lume in ouo of his legs 1"
Again tho trnders said, "Yes."
"But/ said the man, '-had he lost n
front tooth V
'•lie had,'1 was their reply.
"And was ho not loaded with wheat
on om side and honey on the other V'
"Y«s, he was," tboy said. "As you
have seen him so lately, you can tell
us where ho may be found."
Then tho man said, "My friends, I
have neither seen the camel, nor have
I heard of him, except from you."
Then the traders were angry, and
took tho man before a judge. The
judge could not find any causo against
the man why ho should be charged
either with lying or theft. Then the
traders thought4he dealt in magic; and
as they did not liko magic in that
country, they now thought they
taking his seat he barely glanced nt
the speaker, and then began a hasty
perusal of tbev newspaper and docu-
ments on his desk. All expected a
reply, and rare sport, as a matter of
course, but they were, for that time,
disappointed. Some dayB after, how-
ever, when the House, the lobbies and
galleries were full, Randolph obtained
the floor to speak to Bome resolution
then under consideration. In the
course of bi6 remarks he took occa-
sion to speak in the most compli-
mentary terms of his friend, the de-
ceased member, whose seat was then
occupied by hiB successor, who waB a
large, portly man. With inimitable
elocution which luiBhcd the House into
the moBt perfect silence, he turned to
the seat occupied by his rude antagon-
ist, and said with his blandeBt but
moBt scorching irony, 'I allude to my
esteemed friend from Virginia, lately
deceased, and whose seat is still va-
cant /' As hiB incomparable emphaj
sis fell on the word 'vacant,' the
death-like stillness was dispelled by
the moBt tumultuous laughter, defy-
ing all control, and in which friends
and foes alike joined.
It was told to me as a fact by an
intelligent informant, who had it from
one who professed to be personally
acquainted with the facts, that the
effect of this adroit innuendo was so
killing to the principal victim, that
he resigned his seat in tho body in
which he had so boldly proposed to
chastise John Randolph into his
senses."
"John," said a gentleman to his
servant, "J am going to church, and
if it should rain, I wish you to come
with the umbrella forme; however,
you need not come unless it should
rain downright." The gentleman
went. It did rain ; but John hud
gone to tho other end of the town to
see Mary. His master came back
with drenched garments and a look
of implacable anger. "John," said
he, "why didn't you bring the' um-
brella?" "Because, Bir," replied
John, "it rained slanting."
A California wife, in San Fran-
cisco, writes thus to her husband in
tho interior:
Dear Sir: It may be proper, and
perhaps my duty, to inform you that
about two months ago I succeeded iu
getting my divorce from you, and also
that I have 6ince married again.—
You may continue your monthly re-
mittances, as I may need them for
your three children.
"Freemasons," said an inquisitive
genius, ''are always good-natured,
and 1 should really liko to know the
reason." "Why," replied the lloyal
Arch, "when we arc initiated they
heat the gridiron so hot that it takes
tho temper all out of us."

been its only guide, and it refers now with
honest pride to its record to show that it
has not turned to the right or the left un-
der all the violence of arbitranr power.
True to its principles as THE NEWS
has been through the reign of terror, it
challenges public confidence in its honesty
and independence for the füture.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY AND
WEEKLY NEWS.

special reference to the wants of country
subscribers, and contain such variety of

columns, and more excellent literary
matter is furnished in ono issue than can
be had in many v*f the exclusively literary
journals of the day. The General News
is admirably selected and condensed, so
as to give all the currcnt intelligence in as
rendnDle a form as it can be placed. It
comprises news from every part of the
