the highest promise Of success. But hearing Of
the discovery Of gold in California, the new field

The following. from medical work pub.
Ii .hed in New York shows the influence Of
the mothers Imagination on the unborn
child
Mr. A.. of the northern part ofthis State,
married some forty years since, a lady OF an
adjoining State, Pccuniary circumstances,
at the lime of the marriage, rendered off
spring undesirable. Within year howcv.
er il became evident to the wife that their
wishes were no longer TO be realized; on
expressing this belief to her husband, she
was, at the moment, quite shocked .at the
dissatisfaction with which he received H.

find his wife in tears He assured her I'M.
nediatelv (for they were devotedly attach
ed) that he was re 'ced to learn the proba-
bic real Zalon of her announcement; that he
was now satisfied with the condition of his
pccuniarv affairs. and convinced OF their sta
bililv. The wife dried her tears, but soon
expressed her conviction that in some way,
her expected offspring would suffer from her
agitation. The husband endeavorcd to re-
move her apprehensions by gentle and al.
fectionalc ridicule. But her fears continued
at intervals during her early months, and
gradually increased as CESSATION advanced.
The relief of the parties was great at the
birth of healthy and well formed boy. No
peculiarly of conduct in the child was OBJ
served, till several months had elapsed, and
then fears were renewed by its extreme un.
willingness to approach the father. This
gradual increased until its satisfaction
was manifested by loud and continued
screaming when brought near him. As age
advanced, the most pcrscvcrIng efforts were
made to overcome this repugnancc; the Ut
most degree Of persuasivcnancc; and ingenu-
ity, diversity Of childish gifts and sports, all
were tried IN vain, and the attempt was a.
bandoncd in despair. The feelings of the
father may be judged by parents. for he was
and is, an exceedingly afec,ionatc man.
This continued, and at the time of our re-
ceiving The information from near person

member of the bar, had never been able to

MY cHILDHOODs HOME.
Time has hcd-long years have gone
Backward 10 the shadowy past
Years that in their early dawn
Gladstone seemed as they came on,
And their forms before them cast.
When the years that now are old
Winged their flight oil joyousy-
When the seasons swiftly rolled
And the hours seemed links Of gold
Lived in my infancy.
Eyes bcamcd brightly-tcars were few
O'er the years Of life to come
Hung veil that checked my view.
Though bright faces still peepcd through :.
On my happy childhood's home.
Now, ruin, grey and old
Stands where then our cottage Stood
Ivicd arms around it fold,
And dark waters, dead and cold,
Cothe with the moss the crumbling wood.
Then, the busy, restless mill
Checked the waters in their flow.
And the noisy wntcr.wheel
Held above the chafng rill,
Ever bright, changeful bow.
Yes, the bow still fingered there,
Like the joys that fancy rears
In the future dark with care
Mid the sProy bright and fuir
As the smile mid childhood's toars.
Then. far round forest spread
Shutting nut half heavens blue,
While the trees all closely we'd.
Waved their branches overhead,
Letting chcckcred daylight through.
Now, swamp where reptiles grow
Spreads around its halcful breath,
And the trees all bending low,
No, yet pcrislcd, seem us though
Living in the arms of death.
Then dear friends madc home more dear,
Made the hours more smoothly flow,
Kept the mind from future fear,
Madc all dangers disappear,
Gave all joys brighter glow.
Now. their much loved forms no more
Shall be seen again by me,
Life is past. their trials DER.
And they live beyond its shore,
Blest in Immortality
On my spirit brooding now.
Tha, that tells Of coming rcstl
Soon tho ycw and cypress hongI,
Shall hang dropping. waving low,
Ger my worn and weary breast.
Much wonder, ifmy soul
Will feel augh, of loneliness,
If tho bell Of lime c'cr toll,
And the ages backward roll
That rests o'cr thy Iovencss.
Or if may lend my mid
TO remove the touch Of tinc,
And make thee as when Strayed
Happy underneath thy shade,
In my chdhood's joyous prime.
If | might, thy scenes should bloom
With a radicncc never thine,
Swift dispensing all thy gloom,
All cartll's charras 10 fill Its room
Should their every power combine.
Flowers should bloom where mossos grow.
Where were wrens should linnets sing,
Zephyrs breathe wllerc north winds blew,
Till the scenes my childhood knew,
Should seem one eternal spring.
