/ California Love Letter.

Every thing is done on magnificent
scale in the Golden State. Even love
making is a colossal businesss. Witness
the following cffusion, which we quote
from that ample repository Of everything
rich, rare and veritable, the \. Y. Spirit
Of the Tines
California, San Jose, May I'd, 1853.
1IoSt TLanSceuolaW and Charn1ing
MlSS-I would that my pen were dipped
in the dies Of The rainbow, plucked from
the wing of an angel, that l might expect
to paint the burning brightness of that
fame which thy thrilling eloquence hath
enkindIed. Thou soft moonlight Of SEN
timent-soft soap Of consistency-thy
voice is as gentle as the first string Of an
infants dream, as melodious in mine ears
as the braying of a mule-thy step as light
as the sylvan-footed zepher that famed
with the wing Of perfume the gable end of
the newborn paradise. Thy eyes are
brilliants stolen from tie seraphs- thy
lips are vivid as rosebuds, moistened with
the dews Of affection-thy words are as
drops Of ambcr-thy teeth are like snow
set in a verbena bed Oh! sweet spirit Of
camphor.-double distilled essence of
hartshorn. Sour-krout Of my hopes, apple
sauce of my thoughts, buttermilk catsup
Of my fancy, tiger of innocence, butter of
perfection, logwood of meIOdy-thou art
the gin and sugar Of my dreams, the bran
dy-smash of my waking visions, and the
Santa Cruz Of my recollections. Thou
art as harmless as a leopard, or creased
streak Of lightning churned to consisten-
cy in the milky whey. Thou art as
innocent as tiger, handsome as an
elephant. melodious as lion. Oh. onion
Of my soul, picked pumpkins Of my af-
fections, preserved crabs of the garden Of
Smiths Island, where desperate love
dwells, II am yours, SC.

Pert Wine,

The commerce Of Oporto is The subject
Of an article in Hunts Merchants Maga-
zine for September, in which some inter-
teresting items of information are given
respecting the manufacture and cxrorta-
ton of Port wine. We are told that
'The yearly expectations to the differ
ent ports of Europe, Brazils and North
America average $4,000 pipes, at least
$4,000 of which are shipped to England
With the United States they
exchange their wines Che average Is g.
600 pipes year, mostly Of the second
quality for slaves, masts, rice, whale
bone, cotton, and naval stores; but the
transactions between the two countries
are almost insignificant The
wine, which is the principal resource Of
Oporto and the resounding districts, is
made in certain part of the country,
placed on the right bank Of the Douro,
from between ten to twenty leagues dis
tant from the city. The principal entire
port IS small town called \ Reeoa, from
which all the wines are sent in small flat
boats down to Oporto and Yillanora.--
The Doura wine in its primitive state IS
not fit for shipment. In the wine lodges
of Villanova it always undergoes pro
cess Of publication with the white Of eggs,
and of Strengthening, through the addi-
ton of strong white brandy and of some
old wine, BY the repeated turning,
shaking and mixing Of the liquid, the
wine is brought to that perfection which
makes the port wine SO acceptable and
celebrated in all foreign countries, What
is known in America as flrc juics, Is cal
led in Portugal goy0plea, and it is gencr-
ally used to give strength and an agree
able favor to wines, either naturally too
pure, or having lost by age part of their
power 1t is the first juice of the grape
put to boil until it is reduced to two-thirds
of its volume, when one third of frst-rate
brandy is added to it, which gives to the
stuff high grade. In many instances
sugar also is added, and the juice of the
elder berry, which, by its deep color,
gives the stuff an appearance Of strong
bodied wine"

4 Remarkable Water nrinner.

The Boston Medical JOUJHGl has an ac.
count Of a man who is supposed to be the
greatest drinker among men in America
if not in the world lie is living in cx-
cellcnt health, at the age f5S years, and
is in a state Of perpetual thirst. The
individual alluded to is Mr.. las. Webb
of Fairhayen, Massachusetts,. Under
every aspect in which the case may be
examined it is remarkable, and perhap.
unparalleled in the annals of physiology
In early infancy the quantity of water he
consumed was so large as to astonish
those who witnessed it, 4 development
in size and weight of the body required 2
corresponding increase in the quantity oi
his aquatic potations. Under ordinary
circumstances three gallons of water is
rather short daily allowance for him,
and it would be impossible, it seems, fog
him to live through the night with less
than a pail full With this immense a,
mount of water daily poured into the sto-
mach, he has been in good health.

They were at length safely landed in
England, and there John Athol engaged
in lucrative business, and again COM
menced an industrious career, taking lis
two boys under his immediate supervision,
and allowing them only what was neces-
sary for a respectable appearance, and
obliging them to work for that. At first,
they reluctantly acceded, but finding lit
tie enjoyment in complete idleness, they
soon were happy ii their new occupations.
Mrs. Athol attempted an amendment
III the young ladies, and so far succeeded
as to make them cheerfully surrender
their foolish engagements; and, as in
England, air and exercise are deemed so
essential to strength of body and mind
they all fell into such fashionable and
healthful habits, and by slow degrees,
they all learned the luxury Of doing good
with their abundance; and the delightful
letters just received in America, represent
them in the most vigorous exercise Of
their powers, fully convinced that to be
come rich without ballast Of character
proportionate to their weight, is always
more likely to prove snare, than bless
ing.

Four Coed Habits.

There were four good habits wise and
good man earnestly recommended in his
own example and which he considered
essentially necessary for the management
of TEMPORAL concerns; these are Punctu-
ality, Accuracy, Steadiness and Dispatch.
Without the first of these, time is wasted
without the second, mistakes the most
heartful to our own credit and interest
and that of others may be committed; with
out the third, nothing can be well done;
and without the fourth, opportunities Of
great advantages are lost which it IS i'm
possible to recall.

Song Of The Sabbath.

BY JULIA DAY.
The Sabbath Day-the gracious day!
Bringing the gifts ofpeace,
Chasing life's rudest cares away,
Letting tired labor cease;
Breaking the sunshine on the earth,
Bidding vain shadows fee,
Calling for praise and sinless mirth,
Making the bondman free.
The Sabbath Day-the priceless boon
Let not the sordid deem
1t yields no gain, it comes too soon,
1t is Of light esteem!
Let not the bigot sternly say
His temple claims it all;
Who shall imprison Mercy's ray
Within that narrow wall!
The Sabbath Day-ihe separate!
For which with yearning sighs.
The wearied workers patient wait.
And Joy TO see il rise:
The aching head, the o'ertasked brain,
Alike may find repose.
And gather strength to toll again,
And strength 10 conquer woes.
The Sabbath Day-the gift divine?
That, whatso'er our creed,
Supplies with beunteousness benign
Leisure for every need;
For prayer, for praise, for soothing rest,
For thought Of boundless scope,
For heed of Charity's behest,
For love, for JOY, for hope.
The Sabbath Day-,he buckler strong
That guards the poor and meek,
Shielding the desoiate from wrong,
Leaving the tyrant weak.
The Sabbath Day-O prize it well,
It's wisdom learn to scan:
Alike in temple, field, or cell,

Getting the wrong PIC by the ear.

of Philadelphia, was very sloycnly in his
dress, and got into some queer scrapes
in consequence. One Of these misLaps
occurred not long before lis death, Oh a

ing very dirty looking little specimen
of humanity, sitting in No. I, alongside of
two richly dressed young ladies, took oc-
casion TO accost him-What are you DO

place for you-No. is your place. lead

along-'Tickets Ladies, tickets address,

of their disagreeable companion, who re-
piled, 'Our father pays for US Who is

Preservation Of the Ewes.

There is an old tradition that the eye
are strengthened, and the vision preserved
in old age, by rubbing the closed eye-lid
frequently with the finger in horizonta
direction. About three years ago ther
was considerable excitement in New Yorl
by persons protesting to cure weakness
of vision, yea, even restoring faded sight
manipulating the eye-balls. The New
York "Scalpel' treats such pretensions
as delusive, and asserts that such treat,
ment as mechanical m manipulation, for the
eyes, is positively. injurious. It cites
some cases where great injury resulted
to those who submitted to rubbing of the
eyes for the cure of faded sight, and in
stances the case of a man who lost his
sight forever by some one-a friend
who thoughtlessly came behind him and
closed his eyes firmly with his hands, call
ing upon him to guess who it was-a not
uncommon custom among thoughtless
young people. The eye is SO very tender
is such fine piece Of mechanism, that ii
must be handled and treated with great
care and gentlenoss. Many become short
sighted at an early age, constitutionally
or by sickness, or by imposing too much
labor upon those wonderful organs. In
health the eyes will under go much fatigue
but they are as capable Of being over
taxed, as the arms, or the limbs. Much
reading or writing, by artificial light, is
very trying to the eyes, especially if the
light is unsteady, too brilliant, or too
weak. \ good full light, shaded with a
light blue globe, is the best to read or
write with during evening hours. Upon
no consideration should q man read more
than four hours at once, by artificial light,
and he should give his eyes ten minutes
rest after be has read two hours; this is
the experience we have gathered from
not few persons. Those who are bless
ed with strong eyes should not over-tax
them as many Jealous studeuts do, by too
much night study, or as some merchants
do, by too much night writing. There
are instances on record of q sudden loss
Of sigh. By strong men. who had read and
written by lamp-igLt, as if their eyes
never would fail, and their vision never
lose its power. The celebrated Euler
lost his eye sight by an imprudent nights
study, in some Of his mathematical calcu-
lations. The smoke Of lamps is very
burtful to the eyes, hence a good circula-
Of air is as necessary for the eyes as for
the lungs. The "Scalpel" asserts that it
is injurious to wash the eyes by dipping
the face in a basin and opening the eyes
in the water, and recommends cold tea
or milk and water, for bathing tie eyes
in preference to water itself. 4 very
week solution Of the salphate or zinc is
excellent for blood-shot or surfacc-in-
famed eyes; we have never known it to
fail in efecting a cure in few days.
