THE WINE CUP.

Shun, shun ye the wine cup.
For madness is there;
'Tis the ruin of all things
That's gladstone and fair;
'Tis the blight of affection,
The downfall of fame;
And no hope can survive
The breath of its shame.
o. shun itwhen glad ones
In revel are nigh,
When the song and the jest,
Are bright'ning eacl eye,
When the tempest is waiting
To blast with his smile,
Then heed not his seeming,
'Tis falsehood and guile.
And quaff not the goblet
To absent ones now;
Twill tarnish the laurels
Tint wreath round the brow,
Far better in silence
Their names should remain,
Than their memories should bear
On their impress, that satin.
And Danish the wine cup
When woman is near;
IT'S the Siroc that strips them
Of all they hold dear,
'Tis the monster that hastens
Their friends to their doom,
And signs in loud triumph
His song o'er their tomb.
Then, haste to the rescue
The banner is seem
IT'S bright as the halo
Ofnight's blooming queen,
On-on the battle,
BolI hearted and brave;
And this is the watchword-
We conquer-to save.

CALIFORNIA-MEXTCO

The following extract of letter from a
gentleman who went to California with
Col. Stevenson's New York Regiment, is
copied from the Detroit Daily, Advertiser:
II have been in California since April
l8, 1647; have seen but little of the coun.
try myself but have conversed much with
various persons, some of whom have visited
every part OF it, and can conGdentially as
sert, and so assert, that California, taken al
together, is most miserable, God forsaken
country, the jumping off place, fit only for
Mormons, Mlllerltes and monomaniacs. 1t
has been most flagranty misrepresented--
most viIIanously belied. The climate, if
healthy, which is questionable, is excessive
ly disagreeable about here, ON account Of
the violen: winds and fogs. The fog IS of.
ten so heavy that the water drps from the
roofs as if it had been raining, and when
coming over the hill it looks more like
snow-slorm than any thing else. Over
coats and flannels are worn the year round;
summer clothes are useless. From sunrise
to 10 A. NJ, is usually quite pleasant; then
comes the wind and the fog, either Of which
is more disagreeable than any weather I
ever saw in the States. So much for what
country have seen about San Francisco,
the "American Italy," as some foolish
people have called it.

commercial purposes, merits all the most
enthusiastic have said Of it. tits probably
the finest bay in the world, and.it alone
may save California from utter condemns.

But it is folly to perplex ourselves with
inquiries upon the subjects which are obvi-
ously beyond the grasp of the Intellect
All we know with certainty is, that the hu-
man world has gone on for at least four
thousand years without attaining to more
than one-twclfth part of its possible extent.
Our knowledgeis is limited; and must always
be so. Not 10 talk of the interior OF the
earth, which we can learn but lite about
from hamnlering upon its crust, we are
each Individually ignorant even of our fel-
low being on the surface. One of us may
know something of plants, another some
thing of insects-but the mind does not ex-
Isl which is able to comprehend the orga-
mic world in its cntircness. 1t is said that
there arc 100000 species of vegetables, five
or SIX times that number of insects, about
1900 of quadrupeds, $500 Of birds, and
$500 of reptiles. The sea we knew almost
as little about as we do Of the interior of
the earth-but as its bottom is at least dou-
BILE the extent of the surface or our CONT
nent and islands, we may roughly take the
number Of its species, animal and vegetable,
as equal to that ofthc species which require
atmospheric air. AS for the microscopic
world, there we are entirely lost-but in all
probability it is as rich in species as the
world that Is cognizablc to our ordinary
senses. But if we take the entire number
of species of organised beings at only
2,O0O,0OO, what human intellect is capa-
bic of studying them to any purpose? If
man gave himself up to the task as the busi-
ness of his life, attending to the examination
of each specie but one minute, and working
necessarily during ten hours in the day, he
would not accomplish the cursory, unreflec-
ting survey in less than twenty years.
These consideration should at least teach
us humility, and for the rest we may safely
trust in the Creator Of these unspeakable
wonders, that His Almighty Hand will sus-
tain the work which His omnscient wis,
dom conceived, and that the same power
which originated the plan, will extend to its
consummation.

Beside the grassy road;

Mid palm trees waving high,
And flowers exert such pleasing sway,
That death himself aside might stray,
Forgotten where lie.

With the falchion in my hand.

But the wild, wild, drcam hath past;
No more upon my ear hath come
The war beat OF the gathering drum,
Or the trumpet's rousing blast.

Which once so fair did shine,
Wrestling forever from my sight,
Column deep serr'ed for the fight,
And square and wheeling line.

While rang the battle cry,
Gazing upon the Eagle red,
Whose shadowy wing above me spread,

Not thus unwept-alone,
Painting to yield my breath,
Where the hot day-breeze hath tone
While passing, like the tever'd groan
Ofmclancholy death.
Yet not in vain shall flee
My !ite's fast melting ray
Comrades, go tell them, who like me
Still pine to sail on Glory's sea,

How on a spot without name,
Far hidden from the search of Fame,
Ye paus'd beside my grave.

o. SANDS SARSAPARILLA.-t is a
truth which should he impressed on the young
and reckless, that every digestive process Of the
stomach, every respiratory action of the lungs,
every contraction of the heart draws something
from the unreplenishable resources of organic Vi
tally. 1t is important then for those who desire
long life, to husband these resources aud suffer
disease to make as few and as short drafts upon
them as possible. The great thing is to check
any arrangement of the secretions at the outset
and when the fluids which form the basis Of the
blood become impure to restore them as speedily
as possible to their natural condition. For thi.
purpose Sands Sarsaparilla will be found a po-
tent agent-streng;henin the digestive organiza'
ton, purifying the secretions, and relieving the
bowels by its gentle aperient operation, from all
distractions. In cases ofgeneral debility, and in
ulcerous and eruptive diseases. this preparation
has produced most extraordinary and happy re-
