Many there are, dear ones, whose memory
comes to our heart tonight. Some to whom
We could say-"Wha is friendship but name!"
when we remember how, in days gone by
they whispered us at parting--"forset me not %
yet have, too soon, forgotten! And some come
breathing the dear language of Ern's sweet
Poet,
"The heart that once truly loves, never forgets,
But as truly loves on TO the close,
AS the suntlowcr turns on her god when he sets,
The same look that she gave when lie rose :"
The distant chime of the morning bell,
awakens us TO the truth-"we take no note of
time but from its hght''-and re-echong the
wish the New Year breathes to the subjects of
his transient reign, the strangers voice, good
Editor, bids you and our readers kind good
night. S. J. c. WHITTLEsLY.

SHERIDAN is reported to have once
fallen INTO coal cellar, on his way
home, after good supper at Drury
Lane, and his abuse of the vender for
not keeping light at the cellar door
was warmly retortcd by the wife.

the wife, "but your nose may set the

knowledge is not mental power. The
mind is not formed in schools, but in
free social action with affairs, interests,
and temptation, which call forth the
exercise of judgment, prudence, rehec.
ton, moral restraint, and right principle.

The WoRp "FAsT" This word is
as great a contradiction as we have IN
the English language. The river was
fast because the ice was immovable, and
the ice disappeared fast for the contrary
reason, it was loose. A clock is called
fast when it goes quicker than time, but
a man is told to stand fast when he is
desired to remain stationery. People
fast when they have nothing to eat; and
Fat fast, consequently, when opportunity
offers to eat.

Spare moments are the gold dust of
tune; and Young was writing true as
well as a striking line when he taught
that Sands make the mountain, and
moments make the year" OF all the
portions of our life spare moments are
the most fruitful in good Or evil. They
are the gaps through which temptations
find the easiest access to the garden of
the soul.

he WEN WITH lAIS.-A year or
two since, French travellers in Africa
reported the existence OF negro tribe
with miIs. Lately, Count de Castenau,
the explorer of South America, we'll
known and highly esteemed in the Uni
ted States, communicated to the Geo
graphical SOC ipty Of Paris, the result OF
some personal inquiries at Bahia, which
seenIo confirm in a measure the direct
report:
81 found myself there" he says, Tin
the midst Of a host of negro slaves, and
thought it possible to obtain from them
information Of the unknown parts OF the
African continent. soon discovered
that the Mohammedan natives of Sou
dan, were much farther advanced in
mind, than the doatrous inhabitants of
the coast. Several blacks Of Haoussa
and Adamawah related to me that they
had taken part in expeditions against a
nation called Niam-Niams, who had
tails. They traced their route, on
which they encountered tigers, giratIes,
elephants and wild camcls. Nine days
were consumed in traversng an immense
forest. They reached at length a nu-
merous people of the same complexion
and frame as themselves, but with tails
from lively to fifteen inches long This
organ or excrescence they described as
smooth and motonless. The HousSas
massacred the greater part of the tribe;
among the bodies We're some females
with the same appcndage. Both sexes
went entirely naked. Some lived in
straw-hovels, but the greater part lived
in caves. The only article of furniture
seen among them was wooden bench,
pierced with a hole for the accommodate
hoa ofthe tuil.'
This last circumstance rs comical
enough; the witnesses were seven or
eight, who declared that they had ham
died the excrrsCence, cut it, and so forth.
The Count does not guaranty the state
ments: he intends to publish separately
the nterrogations and answers, along
with the maps, vocabuaries, and por.
traits Of distinct tribes, which he pro-
cured in his researches in Brazil.

THE CALIFORNIA LAND COMMISSION

i tas known to our readers that the highly i'm
lport@t Land Commission for deciding upon the va
4 idtyo claims to Lands within our lately ACQUIRED
Territory, and State, of California has been in
session for several months in San Francisco. The
following article upon the subject which we find in
the Herald published in that city of the date of the
9th instant throws out suggestions which appear to
be worthy Of all the attention of the land claimants
in that quarter
"THE LAND COMMISSION one hundred and 6ftv-
three petitions have been presented and placed on e
and numerous dispositions relative to the same have also
been taken As yet, however, claim has been finally
adudicated upon and far we know but two orders
Tor iniatory surveys have been made If there be any
dtorness in the proceedings Of the Board such cannot
fairly be laid to the charge Of the Commi for
announcing that they always in readiness to take up
any business presented for their action they have been
constantly at their posts and prepared to examine the
csims that might be laid before them The tardy prose-
euton Of such must then be attributed to the claimants
themselves and in view of the extreme Inconvenience
and prejudice of interest to the whole community which
prevail while titles in real estate continue unset
ed it is truly astonishing that energy is not shown
We had supposed that the native Cafornisns pressed as
they are by the squaer interest," would have Instantly
and with the utmost zeal laid their claims before the high
court which the Federal Government has appointed to-
pronouncs upon them. They seem to hold back, how
ever and meanwhile their territory 10 invaded by the bold
and active strangers who possibly viii not be very easily
dslOdsed seemsc W to Be the policy Of the natives
to present their claims soon possible and if their
validity be recognised then to dispose Of portion Of their
territory to the good terms as they can
and thereby establish the part Of the purchasers dis
position to defend their common title. The enormous
nf xwbs
grants are too unwiedy under any circumstances and
inasmuoh many Of them lie in the vicinity Of the towns
and contain much Of the best land it is evident that an
early subdivision is desirable if not inevitable In the
cities themselves the uncertain tenure by which real es
tate is held is subject Of general complaint and as all
admit is heavy clog to California enterprise II

to be lost in putting land in the reach of those who are
wiling to give fair equivalent for it,"
