ELOPEMENT IN CALIFORNIA.

The Panama Herald relates the following
case of elopement A lady at San Francis
CO. on the morning of the sailing of the Ten
nessee, was quietly seated, reading over the
list of cabin passengers who had engaged
passage for Panama, when to her astonished
sight there appeared the name of her hus-
band in the list Could she believe her
own eyes She knew that her husband's IS
trunks were packed and that he had inform.
ed her The was obliged to go TO Sacramento
on business which would detain him few
days" Startled and convinced by the truth
thus manifested to her, she concluded to
open his trunks, where she found $4,000 in
hard cash. This she divited-taking So 1000
and leaving $4,000, the "lion's share"
which was exceedingly generous on her
part. In due time the aneclionate husband
bade her goodbye, telling her he would be
back in three or four days, and little suspec-
ting that she was not only cognizant of his
villainy, but that out of his means, she had
provided amply for herself. He left-went
on board the Tennessee, came TO this city.
and is now on his way to New York, while
his deserted wife is rejoicing to think that
she has SO easily got rid of such a contempt.
IDLE wretch as his conduct proves him to be,

out friends or means.

BAVARIAN GLUTToSY.

After the first Bavarian soldiers had enter
ed Fulda private, late in the evening, pre-
sented himself before his captain with Il
very red face, and staring blood-sho eyes
aud complained of having been poisoned BY
the land-lady of the inn in which he was
quatered. The poison, he declared, had
been administered in dumplings, an article
OF food OF a harder consistency than English
yeast dumpings which have not risen in the
pot, and, at the same time. somewhat larger.
The captain proceeded instantly with a guard
to the house, and arriving there, found "a soil
tary dumping, in the middle of large dish
The landIady was summoned, and without
ceremony compelled to swallow the last OF
the dumpings, which, having done quite
willingly, she then asked the cause of 50 un-
usual proceeding, and, on being told, eX.
claimed, with smiling face, Poisoned, in
deed she wondered the fellow had not
burst; he had eaten no less than fourteen OF
the same size, and had quarrelled with her
because he could not eat the fifteenth, The
accusation was of course instantly dropped.
Another soldier of the same capacities was
quartered upon a paper-hauger, who, upon
rising Oh the following morning, missed a
large palfuI OF paste, which he intended to
use in the course of the day. inquiring and
scolding ali over the house, the noise raised
the Bavarian, who, upon being asked, What,

he had eaten that for his supper Such
Voraciiy is incredible, bat the story is irue.

From the Democratic Review,
HONOR TO THE TOiLING HAND,

All honor TO the toiling hand,
Or in the field or mine
Or by the harnessed fire or steam,
Or on the heaving brine
Whatever loom, or bark, or plough,
Hath wrought to bless our land,
Or given around, above, below,
We owe the toiling hand,
Then honor-honor to the toiling hand.
1t battles with the elements,
1t breaks the stubborn sward
And shapes the social board
II conquers clime-it stems the wave
And bears from every strand
The sweetest, best of all we have,
Gifts of the toling hand,
Then honor-honor to the toiing hand

CHINESE BURIAL PLACES.

The memory of the dead is highly vene-
rated in China and the worship of their
tombs is one of the most solemn interesting
ceTemonals of the Chinese religion. To
perform this ceremony, men, (women take
10 part in it) often return from distant lands
at much trouble and expense, to the places
of their birth, In fact, their love for the
dead appears, as it has been said TO be. the
strong and only bond which attaches the
Chinese 10 their country. Yet they have no
consecrated place of ntermeut--no grounds
set apart for burial purposes. Every one
chooses some cherished spot for the final
resting place of those whom he loved. The
farmers bury their deads on their own lands
frequently near their own dwellings. TOmbs
and graves are seen on the hill sides, espec-
ally in stony and barren places, and form
a not unpleasant feature in the landscape
These tombs are often of porphyry, finished
with. much minute chisselling. Placed on
rocky eminences, often in picturesque siua-
tions under the shadow of cedars and cy.
presses, they present here and there ob-
iectS OF pleasing and profitable contempla.

'Tis holy time. The evening shade
Steals with II soft control
Der natule, as a thought of Heaven
Steals over the human soul
And every ray from yonder blue,
Seems to bring down to human woes
And every drop of falling dew,
From Heaven u message of repose.
Ger yon tall rock the solemn trees
lu shadowy groups incline,
Like gentle nuns in sorrow bowed
Around their holy shrine
Aud DER them now the night winds blow
So still and calm, the music low
Seems che mysterious voice OF prayer
Soft echoed in the midnight air.
The mists, like incense from the EARTH
Rise TO a God beloved,
And DER the waters move as erst
The Holy Spirit moved
The torrents voice, the waves low hymn,
Seem the far notes seraphim,
And all carihs thousand voices raise
Their songs of worship love, and praise.
The gentle sis,erhood of flowers
Bend low their lovely eyes,
Or gaze through trembling tears of dew
Up to the lofty skies
And the pure stars come out above
Like sweet and blessed things Of love,
Bright signals in the eternal dome
To guide the parted spirit home.
There is spell of bIessedness
In earth and air aud Heaven,
And nature wears the blessed look
Of a young saint forgiven
Oh who, at such an hour Of love,
Can gaze on all around, above,
Aud no, kneel down upon the sod,
With natures self 10 worship God

ENGLISH HOSPITALITY

Is now eXerting its fluctuations over the
foreigners who visit the London Exhibition.
Great efforts, it is said, are made to enter
tain, agreeaby, the distinguished persons
among them. This embraces, of course, all
the Americans there, for it is next TO impos-
sb!e to find one of our dear countrymen
abroad who is not distinguished man at
home If he has not been in Congress, or
Governor of his own State, he has narrowly
escaped one of these high positions and if
his family is not distinguished, he himself
has risen from obscgrty BY the force of ma
tive talents. One or two invitations TO din
ner at the house of wealthy merchants may
convince them that England is not so bad
after all intioductons, 10 a few nobleman
and a few visits to their beautiful manors
will remove many of their objections to a
landed arstocracy, and should any of them
be rugged up in court suit and presented TO
the amiable little lady, supposed to govern
the two islands, the honor will confuse sadly
their old notions Of monarchy and republi-
canism.

EXPosuRE TO THE SUN.-There are few
points which seem less generally understood
or more clearly proved than the fact, that
exposure to the sun, without exercise sufi-
cient TO create free perspiration, will pro-
dpce illness. Let any man sleep in the sun
he will awake perspiring, and very i'll per-
haps he will die. Let the same man dig in the
sun for an equal length of time, and he will
perspire ten times as much, and be quite
well The fact is, that not only the direct
rays OF the sun, but the heat of the atmos-
phere, produces abundance OF bile and
than medicine, will carry oil that super
huity.
