The Graves of a Household.

Many sad heart in California will fee
the truth and beauty Of the following lines by
Mrs. llemans:l
They grew in beauty, side by side; they fill
Cd cne house with glee:
Their graves are severed far and wide, by
mount, and stream, and sea.
The same fond mother bent atnght DER each
fair, sleeping brow;
She had each folded flower in sight!-Where
are those sleepers now2
One, meath the forests Of the West, by dark
stream is laid;
The Indian knows his place of rest, far in
the cedar shade.
The sea, the blue, lone sea, hath one;--he
lies where pearl lie deep;
lie was the loved Of all, yet none DER his
low bed may weep.
One sleeps where southern vines are dress
cd above the noble slain;
lie wrapt his colors round his breast on a
bood-rcd ield Of Spain.
And one---o'er her the myrtle showers its
leaves by soft winds famed;
She faded midst Italian flowers, the last Of
of that bright bandl
And, parted thus, they rest who played be-
meath the same green tree;
Whose voices mingled as they prayed around
one parent kneel
They that with smiles lit up the hall, and
cheered with song the hearth;
Alas for love, if thou vert all, and naught
beyond, oh Earth!

The Birds Of Spring.

My quiet residence in the country, aloof
from fashion, politics, and the money market.
leaves me rather at loss for occupation. and
drives me occasionally to the study of nature
and other low pursuits Having few neigh

ercise my hablls OF observation, am fain TO
amuse myself with prying into the domestic
concerns and pecularites Of the animals
around me; aud, during the present season
have derived considerable entertainment from
certain sociable little birds, almost the onl,
visitors we have. during this carly part Of the
year.
Those who have passed the winter in the
country. are sensible OF the delightful ipAu-
enccs that accompany the earliest indications
Of spring; and OF these, none are more de-
llghuul than the first notes Of the birds
There is one modest little sad-colored bird

which raised him to so high pitch of popua-

eschew all tendency to that gross and diss-
pated Indulgence, which brought this mista-
ken little bird to an untimely end.

and was quite sure no such sum had ever
been lodged with him by the astonished rus

ton, and finally to the honor of Bardolph,
the farmer applied to Curran for advice
Have patience, my friend said the counsel,
Speak to the landlord civilly--tell him YOU

him another hundred, in the presence of your

counsel. Aye, sir, asking won't do, fear,

returned with his hundred, glad to find that

be content, but don't see that Pun much

now take your friend with you, and ask the
landlord for the hundred pounds your friend

turned to thank bis counsel, exultingly, with

A VERDANT GRooMsMAN-On no occasion do
people seem more prone to commit blunders
than at a wedding The following incident &C.
tually happened in neighboring town:
In the midst Of a crowd of witnesses, the
clergyman had just completed the interesting
ceremony which binds in the silver bonds of
wedlock two willing hearts, and stretched forth
his hands to implore the blessings Of Heaven
on the union.
At this point, the groomsman seeing the
open hands reached out supposed it was the
signal for him to surrender the wedding fee,
which was burning in his pocket. Accord
ingly, just as the clergyman closed his eyes
in prayer, he felt the pressure of two sweaty
half dollars upon his palms.
The good man hesitated, appalled, at the lu-
dicrousness of his situation, but coolly de-
posted the money in his his pocket, and pro-
ceeded with his devotions.
