THE DREAMER.

| The following beautiful lines are from n vo,u,o
OF Poems by a Seamstress,'' and are said to h
truly the production of poor English girl:
Not in the laughing bowers,
Where, by green twining elms, pleasant shade.
| At summers noon is made;
| And where swift-footed hours
| Steal the rich breath of the enamoured flowers;
Dream 1. Nor where the golden glories be,
| At sunset laving DER the flowing sea,
| And to pure eyes the faculty is given,
TO trace smooth ascent from earth to Heaven
Not on the couch of ease,
With all the appliances off Joy at hand;
Soft light, sweet fragrance, beauty at command;
Viands that might god-like palate please,
And muSiC'S soul creative ecStacies;
Dream l. Nor glOating DER wild estate,
Till the fun, self-complacent heart, eate,
When satisfied with bliss or mortal birth,
Signs for an Immortality on earth.
But where the incessant din
of iron hands, and roar of braZen throats
join their unmingling notes;
While the long summer day is pouring in,
Till day is gone. and darkness doth begin;
Dream las IN the corner where HE,
On wintry nights, just covered from the sky,
Such is my fate, and barren though it seem;
Yet thou blind, souleSs sooner, yet dream
And, yet dream
Dream what? Were men more lust, might have
been
How strong, how fair, how kindly and serene,
Glowing of heart, and glorious Of mem,
The corscious crown to natures blissful scene,
In just and equal brotherhood to CLEAN,
With all mankind, exhaustess pleasure keen;
Such is my dream;
And, yet dream
1, the despsed of fortune, lift mine eye,
Bright with the ustre of integrity,
In unappealing Indebtedness on high,
And the last rage of destiny defy;
Resolved alone to lve-alone to die,
Nor swell the tide Of human misery.
And yet dream
Dreams of sleep where dreams no more shall
come,
My last. my first, my only welcome home!
Rest, unbeheld, since life's beginning stage,
Sole remnant of My glorious heritage.
Unalienabe, l shall find thee vet,
And, in thy soft embrace, the past forget
Thus do dream.

celebrated Patrick Henry of Virginia was
near Tie close Of his life, and in feeble
health, he laid hi, hand on the Bible. and
addressed friend who was with him :
"Here is look worth more tlan all others
printed; We, it is my misfortune never to
have read it with proper attention until

Bird's-eye View of the Gold Region,

The region which here is known as the
gold mines, is closed on the east by the
Sierra .Necaaa, or Snowy Mountains, run
ming nearly north and south. Two large
streams descend from the Sierra Nevada,
one a, the north called the Sacramento riv-
er, the other on the south known as
San Joaquin. These two streams run, as
if purposely, TO the apex of the triangle
they inclose, there to meet and make a
common and united Eruption upon the wa
tiers of San Francisco Bay.
The surface of the country, looking
westward from the ridge OF the Snowy
Mountains which may be from ) to 6OO0
feet above the level of the sea, is broken up
into ridges, giving direction to the streams
that separate, some west by north, others
west by south, and gradually growing
smaller, they get confused into hills. till
finally they soften INTO plains inclosed by
the two aforementioned rivers. The
plains, generally, arecovered with luxurianl
grass skirted along the rivers with oak tim
Der. As the hills rise, vegetation becomes
scaniier The range Of Mountains in
which gold is found is dislingu;s hed by y
uniformity OF its vegetable kingdom, which;
is not meagre nor very abundant. The oak
prelomina'es here only now and then re-
leved by several varieties Of the pine
family. AS The gold disappears the reign
of The pine and granite extends. The &c.
po>iaries of gold look universally more
smiling TO the behoder than their barren
neishbois; the former always have the fig
ure described by the line OF beauty, viz:
the curved line, be they ever so precip-
loas, as they frequently area distinction
never to be lost sight Ct.
The extent OF these auri'erous hills is
greater than the public know or imagine,
but not in the direction il is >npposed.-
They extend beyond the Sacramento, and
San joaquin, northwest of the former
and southwest o! the latter, bending round
toward the scacoa~. Nay, the same Iorma-
lion, with more or less difference, runs a.
long the " hole Pacific shore till il is lost
in the southern portions Of the Chilian Re-
public /; but gold has not been, hor proba-

durable long. a very few years, when
there will be many arms at work, will

this fact. The breadth Of this aurire-
rous region, limits itself within the lines

vada; and on the west, as The hills begin to

The proposition laid before our city authorities
by the Hon. David Sears, of converting the "fats'
of the Back Bay into the most ornamental part OF
Boston, by creating beautiful saltwater lake OF
IS acres, surrounded by spacious circular avenue
and throwing the rest Of the vacant tract into
public gardens, and squares, ard building lots
appears TO be favorably received by citizens.
The scheme is magnificent one. The empty
basin, which it is proposed thus to transform,
is now the receptacle of the offals and impurities Of
streets, and is blot the fair proportions of the
city. The proposed lake would be larger than the
present Common, and would afford place for re
sattas and aquatic sports in summer, and for skat-
ing parties in winter. 1t is proposed that all the
'Aats" shall be forty feet wide, with common
sewer or drain running through il Of at least four
feet high on base of three feet.
