THE SABBATH.

Tomorrow morning we again awake
to Sabbath day, and q day which by
far the largest portion Of our citizens
are not ashamed to keep as such. Hap
PLY, the time has long since passed in
California when a man who had the
moral courage to speak Of his religious
scruples, was laughed at and even de-
spised. It is now an evidence of a
mans responsibility in the community,
to be seen at the church in company
with his fellow-citizens of the same faith
joining in the worship of the benifcent
Being who has watched over him for
the week that has passed, and listening
to the counsel which is administered
from the Sacred Desk. Many men who
have risen to the high places Of the
earth, give their testimony as to the
beneficial effects of the observance of
the day, both as day of rest and re-
Taxation, and as an occasion for the
mind Of man to be turned from the all
absorbing pursuits Of earth to contem-
plation of subjects connected with a.
mother and better world, for higher
thought and purer aims. Those who
thus pass tomorrow will find that they
will be none the worse fitted for busi-
ness pursuits on Monday, if their busi-
ness is such as honest men may pursue,
and We are supposed to be addressing
such.

POETRY
THE MINERS DREAM.

The day was done-he swallowed crust
, The last he had in his locker
He placed his hoad on bag Of dust,
And his hands on the pick and rocker
and tn, &c, ~ the Yula's lonely stream
Ills tent, the lovely sky,
He dreamed a most auifcrous dream:
| Alas! twas all in bis eye.
tic saw the noble palace Of gold,
Which the ancient Spaniards sought
The dome Of gold was lofty and bold,
Aud the pillars viii, gold inwrought.
On glittcring throne the Inca sat,
(Of solid gold twas builded.)
His mutton was served on golden plate,
And his gingerbread was gildcd.
And the guards wore go!dcd plumes 50
tall,
And their helmets shone like suns
And they fired At mark With golden
balls,
That were cast for their golden guns.
The golden rod waved in every breeze,
And tho gold-thrcad grew in the
brakes
Gold6nches twittercd in all the trees,
And goldfish swan in tho lakes.
" | give tho all. /" the Inca cried,
My palace, my guard, my throne
And the rivers bed, and the mountain 3
side,
These treasures are thine alone"
Now over his dreams change has come;
The fields are rocky and bare;
lie dreams Of his old New England
home,
And the memories clustering there.
Hc walks by the run at Seymour's pond,
Where he hauled the pickerel in,
And the grapes Of which he was so fond,
In the former age of tin.
Hurrah! Point Rocks the ocean shore,
And the marching tides dcploy,
With the same wild rush and tie same
wild roar.
That thrilled him when boy.
Now the school house, red With its COP
per roof,
And its dust. and its noise and it's fun,
And the ferrulcs whisk and sharp re-
proof,
And the shout when school is done.
Anon he dreams Of the Sabbath day;
Tho Sabbath bell doth toll;
And serious faces throng the way,
And Serious thoughts the soul.
And when in dreams he ceased to roam,
And walked by the Yuba river,
He thou sht Of his wife, anI his child,
and bis home,
And OF God. the perfect giver.
Why change the treasures Of the heart
For glittering Jumps like thepc?
So across the Isthmus he took a start,
And went home by way Of Chagres
TRlsMEGlsr.
p. S.-He took the Jumps with him

LITTLE GEORGE'S STORY.
I My Aunt Libby patted mo or tht
head the other day and said, "George
my boy, this is the happiest part ol
your life.' guess Aunt Libby don't
know much. | guess she never worked
week to make kite, and the first
time she went to fly it the tail got
hitched in tall tree, whose owner
wouldn't let her climb up to discntanele
ii. guess she never broke one of the
runners OF her sled some Saturday af-
ternoon, when it was "primc' coasting.
| guess she never had to give her big
gest marbles to'a great lubberly boy,
because he would thrash her if she didn't.
guess she never had 'hockey stick"
play round her ancles in recess, because
she got above fellow in the class. I
guess she. never had him twitch off her
best cap and toss it in mud-puddle.-
guess she never had to give her hum
ming-top to quiet the baby, and have
the paint all sucked off. I guess she
never saved up all her coppcrs Whole
winter to buy a trumpet, and then was
told she mustn't blow it, because it woull
make ase. No-I guess my Aunt
Libby don't know much /; little boys
have troubles as we'll as grown people,
all the difference is they darcn't COM
plain. Now, never had s'bran new
jacket and trowsers in my life-never-
and | don't believe ever shall for my
two brothers have shot up like Jacks
bcan-stalk, and left all their out-grown
clothes "to be made over for Georges"
and that cross old tailoress keeps me
from bat and ball an hour on the stretch.
while she laps over, and nips in, and
tucks up, and cuts off their great baggy
clothes for me. And when she puts me
out the door, she's sure to say-"Good
bye, little Tom Thumb" Then when
| 60 to my uncle's to dine, he always
puts the big dictionary in a chair, to
hoist me up high enough to reach my
knife and fork /; and If there is a dwarf
apple or potatoe on the table, it is al
ways laid on my plato. If I go to the
play ground to have game of ball, the
fellows all say-"Get out of the way,
little chap, or We shall knock you into
a cooked hat" l don't think I've
grown bit these two years. I know l
haven't, by the mark on tho WALL and
| stand up to measure every chance
get. When visitors come to the house
and ask me my age, and I tell them
that l am nine years old, they say,
"Tut, tut! little boys shouldn't tell
fibs." My brother Hal, has got his
first long-tailed coat already; am real
" afraid l never shall have anything
but . jacket Igo to bed early, and
have left of eating sweet-neats.
haven't put nay fingers in the sugar
bowl this many day. l eat meat like
my father, and stretch up my neck
till it aches,-still I'm "little George"
and ''nothing shorter - Or, rather, I'm
shorter than nothing. Oh! my Aunt
Libby don't know much How should
she she never was boy!

at night How should you like to b
held SO near the FIRE that your eye
were half sc1rchcd out Of your head
while your nurse was reading novel
How should you like to have great a,
light on your nose, md not know how
to take aim at him, with your little, fat
useless fingers Z How should you like
to be left alone in the room to take a
nap, and have great pussy jump into
your cradle, and sit staring at you with
her great green eyes, till you were all of
a tremble ]? How should you like to
reach out your hand for the pretty
bright candle, and find out that it was
way across the room, instead of close by,
How should you like to tire yourself out
crawling way across the carpet, to pick
up pretty button 0. pin, and have it
snatched away, as soon as you begin to
enjoy it? I tell you it is enough to ru-
in any baby's temper. How should you
Like to have Jour mamma stay at a par
ty till You were as hungry as little
cub, and be left to the mercy Of p. nurse
who trotted you up and down till every
bone in your body ached' How should
you like, when your mamma dressed
you up all pretty to take the nice, fresh
air, to spend the afternoon with your
nurse in some smoky kitchen, while she
gossips with one Of her cronies. How
should you like to submit to have your
toes tickled by all the little children
who insisted upon ''seeing baby's feetso
How should you like to have dreadful
pain under your apron, and have every
body call you "a little cross thing, .
when you couldn't speak to tell what
was the matter with you? How should
you like to crawl to the top of the stair,
Gust to look about a lit.le,) and pitch
heels over head from tie top to the
bottom
Oh, | can tell you it is no joke to be
q baby /! such thinking as we keep up;
and if we try to find out anything, we |
are sure to get our brains knocked out
in the attempt. 1t is very trying to a
sensible baby, who is in hurry to know
everything, and can't wait to grow up.
