POETRY.
I wait for Thee,


The hearth is swcpt-the fire is bright,
The kettle sings for ten,
The cloth is spread, the lamps are light,
The hot cakes smoke in napkins white,
And now l wait for thee.
Come home love, come. thy task is done;
The clock ticks listcningly
The blinds are shut, the curtains down,
The warm chair to the fircside drawn,
The boy is on my knee.
Come home, love, come, his deep, fond eye,
Looks round him wistfully;
And when the whispering winds go by,
AS if thy welcome step was nigh,
lie crows exultingly.
In vain--hc finds the welcome vain,
And turns his glance OH mine,
SO earnestly, that yet again
Ills form unto my heart | strain,
That glance is SO like thine.
Thy task is donc-wc miss thee here;
Where'er thy footsteps roam,
No hand will spread such kindly cheer,
No beating heart, no listening ear,
Like these will wait thee home.
Aha! along the crisp walks fast,
That wc!l-knuwn step doth come;
The bolt is drawn, the gate is past,
The babe is wild with JOY at last;
\ thousand welcomes home!

BRIEFLY spoken. Then, instead of preparing
the head for naught but luxurious bush of
wool and hair, many, no doubt, who are
now only fit for the midnight revel, the lev
ity of the grogshop, and the society of black
legs and blackguards, would, by the acqui-
sition of useful, practical knowledge, be far
better prepared to tread in the footsteps of
the ilustrious dead. OuAcu1rA.

Changes in Life.

SudQS0S III hl1e.
WHEN we contemplate the various chan
gcs in life, and compare the present period
with the days of our boyhoo,l, and reflect
for a moment upon the circumstances that
surrounded us but little more than quarter
of century ago, and rctrospectively view
them in conncxion with tleo pportunitics
that arc Offered to the rising generation at
the present day, we arc struck witt, astonsh-
mcnt at tile results thus realized.
remember (when Il boy) many rcsrec-
table family, whose highest ambition did
not reach beyond the point Of being COM
fortably clad, without paying much regard
to the fashions of the day, and the possession
OF a bare competency to sustain life, with
out ever seeming to thirst after any of its
vain luxurcs; and who, 10y their own indus
try and frugality, could impart to their off
spring the common every day education,
usually obtained in the rustic pinc-pole cab
i'll of the forest, consisting, principally, of
reading, writing, and perhaps a smattering
knowledge of arithmetic. In many OF these
rural institutions, the science Of our Ian
guage, or in other words an English gram
mar, was considered by the parent and ped
.agogue as superhuous trash. If in .those
days" we had CHANGED to say anything a
bout an academy in presence of student
of the old fashioned school, mcthinks he
would have started as though the name of
some hidcous monster, which his native in
stinct had taught him to dread, had been
pronounced in his hearing. For venture
the assertion, that many "coppcras
breeches" boy, who had ciphcred as far as
the Rule Of Three, would not have known
thirty years ago what you meant by 80
hard word. And if in our childhood
rambles, we had happened to fall in with
one whose inexhaustiblc stores of shining
dust had placed him above the trying
scenes Of the INDECENT, and afforded him
what we can now readily understand
legiate opportunities, and hear him speak Of
the preparatory department, the junior and
senior classes, and the professors Of the va
rious branches taught in college, we NIGH:
at once come to the conclusion that lie was
but little short Of a supernatural being
'"Great Gullivcr!" "Granny" would have
been nowhere with her antiquatcd stories o
witches, wizards, and ghosts, had we daret
venture to ask this man to impart to us
knowledge Of these things.
It is not 50 much our object, however, te
notice the rapid Improvement in our insti
tatons of learning, as to mark the differ
eneein disposition, manifestedin both parsn
and,papil to avail themselves Of the adsan
tages they afford I; or the changes that Hsasv,

The Monster Lump of Gold.

An immense lump of quartz gold has
been found in Calaveras county, weighing
lGl pounds, or 2,576 ounces ayoirdupois.
Estimating it to.contain 20 pounds of quartz
rock, which is Il large allowance, in the opin-
ion OF experienced persons who examined
it, the actual weight of the gold in it will
be l41 pounds, or 1856 ounces avoirdupois.
the value of which, at S17.25 per ounce,
would be S3s,o16. This is the largest mug
get Of pure gold ever found in California
or in the world 1t was brought down to
this city yesterday by Adams & Co. and will
be shipped to the Atlantic States in tho
steamer Of to-day. The proprietors of it
were SO excited by their good luck that they
sat up beside their treasure night and day
on its way hcre.-Mr. Perkins, one of the
Company to whom it belongs, states that it
was taken out in Calaveras county, on
Wednesday evening, November 22d, jus. AS
the Company were about quitting work for
the day. lie would not give any particu-
lars III regard to where the claim is located,
except that it IS IL the coHnty above named.
The c":rl,:iny consists Of four Americans
and one Sw;>s. Mr.. Ie:kus belongs to
l.cxi;w"n, i\y., ;In! :or Tie past two years,
ALTHOUGH he las ;;,bcrnl hard, was not very
successful; na"cr having more than 5000 at
any one :;nc during tI.at period. The
length of this imn!clsc mass is about fif-
teen inches, and its width from five and
one half to six inches As one side is ex-
tremcly Irregular and uneven in its forma-
ton, it is difficult to arrive at the exact thick
ness, butt will probably average four inches.
The other side is almost flat and presents a
solid mass Of pure gold; the only quartz
pcrccvable is on the upper or ragged side,
and some pieces are solooscly imbedded in
the precious metal that they ight be easily
removed. The whole mass, at some period,
has apparently been in fused state San

AKTFUL FNpED1ENr.-A laborer in Italy,
employed in throwing down rubbish from a
house, called to the passengers to take care;
but one Of them paying no attention to the
warning, Mas wounded by a stone. He cited
the man at the court ofjustice, and demand
cd damages. A celebrated advocate under
took the defence Of the laborer; but he found
it impossible TO prove that his client had
really warnc' the passenger to take care, he
had recourse to an expedient to gain his
object.
When the case therefore came to be tried,
and the defendant was asked why he had
thrown down the stones so heedlcsly, lie
stood mute and motionless. The Judge
repeated his question, but he maintained an
obstinate silence; and when the Judge ex-
pressed his surprise at it, the advocate said
that his client was, unfortunately, dcafsand
dumb. l..
"No, no." exclaimed the plaintiff. off his
guard, sit is false, it is an evasion; my
selfheard him very plainly say, Take care!
"And why, then, did you notSfolow his
warnings2" said. the Judge, smiling, as
he dismissed the case.
