dren yearn for the sunshine, which they see
in the homes Of their playmates, and invent
all kinds of excuses to get away from end
less troubles which haunt their MOTHER
They have already learned that pleasure
cannot be had under their own rooftree and
the gambling hall, the theatre and the club

scarcely resist. Aye, think of these solemn

"She always made home happy"
What more fitting inscription can be en-
graved on the tombstone of an estimabe
woman, of which this was said? 1t will
stand perchance. in some church-yard, where
birds and flowers open their starry eyes, all
unmindful of the silent sleepers below
Other monumental tablets will rise around
it, bearing the high-sounding epitaph, but
nothing there speaks sweeter lesson than
the brief sentence, "She always made home
happy"

B@g~ Henry A. Wise is to stump the
State of Virginia before the next election.
Since the Know Nothings are his principal
opponents, he will not be likely to meet
with much public opposition, and what he
does may be from his own party. Some of
the Democrats have disowned the nomina-

members of Congress. Smith, Extra Bill

Governor, has offered himself as an indie

SIERRA CITIzEN.-This excellent sheet,
has completed its first volume, whereupon
the editor in part thus discourseth:-
"Our lives are made up of anniversaries.
One day the roaring of cannon and the mer-
ry peals of the village bells proclaim the ma
tion's jubilee; another day breaks silently
and unheralded, revealing an empty seat in
the chimney corner, or some memento of a
friend whose work is finished. One man
sits in his counting house reckoning up the
gains of the past year, while his school-fel-
low sits beneath a hedge, thinking that Just
one year ago cloud appeared in the hori-
zon, at first no bigger than a mans hand
and how that it grew blacker and heavier,
until 1t sank round him, and all his hopes
and fortunes melted in its damp fold. In
one place youth and beauty are celebrating
their birthday with dance and song, and in
another the chill of death is creeping over
the wounded soldier on the battle field
One day the Moslem turns his face towards
his shrine, and utters, "God is great" anoth-
er the Christian looks to the east for the
Star OF Bethlehem. Time goes on in an
endless cycle. and in three score and ten
years all have finished

The Weeping Willow.

In the quiet church-yard yonder,
A willow weeps;
And still IN death the green sod under
maiden sleeps.
Like bereaved mother bending
Ger her first born,
When none but heavens great eye attending
Looks pitying on.
Wet with natures tear-drops" nightly,
In silence shed,
Where rose-buds bow their soft cheeks lightly
Ger our first dead
Watcher at the grave of Mary
Our dear lost child,
Do spirit-minstrels round her tarry
In accents wild?
Do unseen visitants e'er hover
Der Mary's tomb
And do the holy angels love her,
The silent one?
Emblem of the stricken hearted,
Sorrowing tree,
The thought that e'er clings to the parted,
viii turn to thee
And when these limbs grow faint and weary
On liie's rough grade,
I'll lay me down beside our deare
In thy broad shade.

SACRAMENTO VALLEY RAILRoAD.-Ita af-
fords us much pleasure to be able to say. by
authority, that the grading will commence
on Monday next, upon the several sections
of the road. Mr.. Becky, who, with his
partner, has taken seven miles to grade,
begins work near the Eighteen Mile House
on Monday. Col. Kip, who is also SUBJ
contractor, will be ready about Tuesday,
and another contractor will probably pitch
in to-day
The engineer, Mr. Judah, has obtained
the'right of way in writing, with few ex-
ceptions, from here to Negro-Bar, and in a
very short time the grading will be un-
der way over the first twenty miles of the
line.
Letters by the late steamer were receiv-
ed from Mr.. Robinson, the leading contrac-
tor, advising the company of the shipment
Of the locomotives, cars and iron and also
of his speedy return to California. The Sc.
we're pressure of the times there does not
appear to have interfered at all with his ar,
rangements. These assurances we feel ius-
titled in saying, may be relied upon by the
community Sac Union, Feb 9Th.

STATE FINANcE-By a letter from the
State Treasurer, says a Sacramento paper,
published under the head of Legislative pro-
ceedings, it will be seen that the funded
debt of the State Gncluding $464,OOO due

annual interest on which, payable on the
lst days of July and January, amounts to
S7l,557 80. OF the amount due in July
next, $48,000 are now on hand, and it is
supposed that the remaining $23557 so,
will be paid into the Treasury prior to the
time when the interest becomes due. But
it appears that there is no hope of receiving
a dollar OF the S7l ,557 so, payable on the
lst OF January, until after that date,

SANTA CLARA.-1his county is one of the
most fertile and best populated in the agri-
cultural portion of the State. Fremont has
characterized its climate as the Eden of Cal
ifornia. Mr.. Lewis, the County Surveyor,
in his report, estimates this valley land at
298,000 acres, of which 10000 acres were
cultivated last season. The yield of wheat
and oats he places at 30 bushels per acre,
and barley at so; but thinks the wheat crop
at least twenty-five per cent below the av-
erage yield, as in most places it was greatly
injured by smut. There are in the county
five fouring mills, having fourteen run Of
stones in active operation, and three more,
designed ior fifteen run, ARE in process of cree
tion. Fifteen to twenty artesian wells have
been sunk in the valley, from which very
liberal supply of pure water is obtained
Their depth varies from 20 to 200 feet
The cost of sinking was about two dollars

50 many less important matters to be attended

admonished to be patient for month at

However it is well enough, as We have but
ftde to do at this season in agriculture, save
the gathering of crops. As we have worked
cur readers all out Of the grass, and have
made for them better crops than they ever
had before our department was introduced
into the paper, we cannot but congratulate
them on the progress they have made in
scientific. agricultdre,-nor should this re-
mark remind them of the speech made by a
