OH, SAY NOT PURE AFFECTIONS
CHANGE

OH, SAY NOT PURE AFFECTIONS
CHANGE.
Oh, say not pure affections change,
When fixed they once have been,
Or that between two noble hearts
Hate e'er can intervene!
Though GOODNESS for while may freeze
The love springs of the soul,
Though angry pride its sympathies
May for time control.
Yet such estrangement cannot last
A tone, touch, look,
Dissolves at once the iceness
That crisp'd affections brook!
Again they feel the genial glow
Within the bosom burn,
And all their pent-up tenderness
With tenfold force return.

A PARALLEL.
BY MRS. ELLET.

BY MRS. ELLET.
The waves that on the sparkling sand
Their foaming crests upheaye,
Lightly receding from the land,
Seem not trace to leave.
Those pillows, in their ceaseless play
Have worn the solid rocks away.
The summer winds which wandering sigh
Amid the forest bower,
So gently as they murmur by,
Scarce lift the dropping flower.
Yet bear they, in autumnal gloom,
Springs withcred beauties to the tomb.
Thus worldly cares, though lightly born,
Their impress leaves behind
And spirits, which their bonds would spurn
The blighting traces find.
Till alter'd thoughts and hearts grow cold
The change of passing years unfold.

!. man who gives his children a habit o.

YANKEE FORETHOUGHT.

An acquaintance OF ours was up in Con.
neciIcu' one day last winter, TO visit q friend
who was manufacturer. The shafts of the
manufacturers wa,er-wheel had been brok
en- that afternoon, under the great accumula.
t'on ol Ice, and he was in great trouble, foI
he had searched long to find suitable stick
and he knew not where 10 find another. If he
ou'd find one it would be green, and un6
Tor use. Very early in the morning while
The day had scarcely dawned, the manufac-
'nrer and his CUES. were al the mill, TO see
what should be done.
| farmer, who lived two or three miles
of, was already looking on. As the manu-
facturer looked painfully at his ca,ast, ophe
bad break that, Nj - said the farmer.
"Yes, very bad" said the manufacturer
Cant mend that stick, can you?" said
The farmer.
"No," said the manufacturer, "and wors,
OF 1t is, don't know where TO ge, another
"Well,' said the farmer, 81 guess | can
tell YOU where You can find one.''

1t has been seasoning more than year. So
when ] heard your shat, was broken,
thought Id come over and let you know"
"You're just the man wanted to see,"
said the manufacturer, "lf only it was light
enough. How much do you ask for the stick,
if it will suit me 20
"Oh, I'm sure twill suit We, or should

II was some time before the farmer would
set price, but at last he guessed one hun
dFed dollars would be about right.
"l'll come over and see it after breakfast,
said the manufactures" He did so, and told
his visier afterwards that under the circum-
stances The stick was worth five hundred
dollars to him. Are not such people able to

The SroRM,-As we go to press the
storm continues with as. little apparent
disposition to abate as it has shown for
a week past. No stage has arrived for
two nights past, and no communication
has been had with the lower cities, SO
that we have no recent intelligence of
the effects of the storm below. There
is little doubt however that Sacramento
is, or soon will be under water, if these
heavy rains continue. We do not be-
lieve the levee is sufficiently strong to
keep out the increased yolu me of the
river. The latest intelligence from
Marysville, is that the water had risen
to the plaza, since which time the rains
have been constant and heavy.
The effects of the s.lEw in this region
have not been vel disastrous. The
rise in Deer Greek has caused little in
jury to the buildings resting in its bed
though the theatre is thought to have
settled few inches, and some of the
props have been carried off The accu>
mutation of tailings in tho ravine be-
tween Main and Broad streets, which
the water has brought down towards the
creek has caused much trouble to the
householders near the foot of Main
street, by filing up the ravine above the
level OF the floors, and thus causing the
water to run into the houses.
There is report that man named
Beatty was killed at Grass Valley by
the falling of tree, this forenoon.
