MEMORY.
BY WINTHROP MACKwoRTH PRAEp,

BY WINTHROP MACKwORTH PRAED.
Stand on funeral mound,
Far from all that love thee;
With barren heath around,
With cypress bower above thee:
And think, while the sad wind frets,
And the night in cold gloom closes,
Of spring, and springs sweet violets,
Of summer, and summers roses.
Sleep where the thunders fly
Across the tossing billow;
Thy canopy the sky,
And the lonely deck thy pillow;
And dream while the chill sea-foam
In mockery dashes DER thee,
Of the cheerful hearth, and the quiet home,
And the kiss of her that bore thee.
Watch in the deepest cell
Of the foeman's dungeon tower,
Till hopes most cherished spell
Has lost its cheering power;
And sing while the CALLING chain
On every stiff limb freezes,
Of the huntsman hurrying DER the plain,
Of the breath of the morning breezes.
Talk of the minstrels Lutte,
The warriors high endeavor
When the honeyed lips are mute,
And the strong arm crushed forever:
Look back to the summer sun,
From the mist of dark December;
Then say to the broken-hearted one,
"Tls pleasant to remember!"

0MA Ell DORADO COUNTY, CALL SATURDAY, OCTOBER o. 1885,
A Successful Trick.

young and skiful disciple of Robert Houden
was some time ago travelling in the northern prov
inces of France, giving exhibitions in natural
magic, IN company with a young wag now direct
or OF printing establishment in Paris In their
wanderings they arrived at the town of R.. more
renowned for its manufactures than for the natural
brilliancy of its inhabitants. Here the receipts of
the magician were absolutely nothing, and despair
reigned in the hearts of our two adventurers
What was to be done!
"Bymy faith exclaimed the assistant magician
cit will never do to say that we did not make eur
expenses! have it Let me write a poster for
one more entertainment and if the attraction don't
answer, call me no assistant for high priest Of
diablerie
"At the urgent request of the large and intelli-
gent audiences Of our former entertainments, we
have consented to perform the astounding feat of
making the cathedral bell ring any honr indicated
by any of the audience. To take place this eve
ming
There, how will that do?'
But how are you to fulfil the promise?'
"Oh! never mind Am not a worthy pupil of
a skillful master! Leave that to me-"
Night came, and with it crowd of the curious
All went oft well, and now the feature of the
evening. Any one was asked to name number.
-Four" " came from the crowd.
In fear and trembling the mighty magician ex-
tended his hands towards the cathedral, when one.
TWO! three. 1our. doomed slowly from the cupola.
The cold perspiration started to the exhibitor
brow, and the audience shouted with delight and
surprise.
"Encore encore" -esounded from all parts of
the room. Again! what was to be done! But a
voice from behind the curtain said
$50 ahead, old boy--its all right"
With sigh Of relief the exhibitor repeated the
miracle again and again, and the spectators de-
parted filled with enthusiasm
What in the name of wonder have you been
doing" exclaimed the puzzled principal to his
laughing assistant, as soon as the doors were
closed
"Why, gave the bell-ringer five francs to stay
in the belfrey and ring as many times as placed
candles in the window, and think it succeeded
pretty we'll nest ce pas9 replied the other, shaking
the wel-flled cash box
The next day, as they were starting in the cars,
one of the old city councillors came to them and
begged that they would explain the miracle.
9 1t is magnetism, my friend" said the magician,
with grand flourish of his hand, and the MAJ gis-
trate departed, much edited and perfectly satisfied

to his room for pair of boots, and at the same
time told him to be sure to get mates, as there
two pairs together in the closet Patrick returned
with two boots, but odd ones.
Why, didn't you see that these are not alike?
one is long top and the other short one,r said
the gentleman, out Of patience.
Bedad, your honor" said Pat in apology, "and
its thrue for you, but the other pair was jist SO

Mr.. Gale, one Of the examiners in the Patent
Office says, in of his reports, that patent that
is worth anything, if properly managed is worth
from fifty to sixty thousand dollars. The cases are
very rare, however, where the patentee is willing
to take the actual cost of his patent, including a
reasonable compensation for his time in nventing
An instance is mentioned ola patentee who has
received twelve thousand dollars for simple i'm
provement in the mode Of attaching lamps to Ian
terms.

WE WATCHED HER BREATHING.
BY THOMAS HOOD.

BY THOMAS HOOD.
"She sleeps.
Her smile has passed away,
AS dies the ripple on the sea-"
We watched her breathing through the night,
Her breathing soft and low,
As on her breast the wave of life
Kept heavng to and fro.
So silently we seemed to speak,
SO slowly moved about,
AS we lent her half our powers
To exc her being out.
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied,
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
For when the morn came, dim and sad
And chill with early showers,
Her quiet eyeids closed she had
Another morn than ours.
