twenty seven years,of age, and a carpen-
by trade His wife was one of-the sweetest
dispositioned girls in town, and she made
ono Of the best Of wives. She loved her
husband with the whole energy OF her
pure soul, and she knew that she was be-
loved in heart. Her two children, aboy
and girl, often saw her shed tears when
they were alone with her:in the snug lit

to ask what made his mother CRY, but she

Temperance d CaIlfornla.

The Rev. Mr.. Diebl, an iudefatigable a.

regions, in letter 10 the Prohibitionist;
dated San Francisco, March IS, 1865;
gives the following account of the move
ment in California:
I'VE have fair prospect of passing
Pfohibitory law, submitting it TO the peo-
pie, which is all that is asked for, by many
OF its friends, honestly believing that We
can carry it triumphantly, and the better

A good woman never grows old. Years
may pass over her head, but if banevolence
and virtue dwell In her heart, she is as
cheerful as when the springs of life first
opened to her view When we look upon
a good woman. we never think of her age;
she looks as charming as when the rose of
youth first bloomed on her cheek. That
rose has not faded yet; it will never fade.
In her neighborhood she is the friend and
benefactor. Who does not respect and
love the woman Who has passed her days
in acts of kindness and mercy? We repeat,
such woman cannot grow old. She will
always be fresh and buyant IN spirits. and
active in humble deeds of mercy and be-
nevolence If the young lady desires to
retain in the bloom and beauty of youth.
let her not yield to the sway fashion and
folly; let her love youth and virtue. and to
the close Of life she will retain those feel
ings which now make life appear garden
of sweets-ever fresh and ever new.

WHY THERE IS so RAIS IL PERU.-In
Peru. South America, rain is unknown
The coast of Perm is in the region of Per
petual south east trade winds. Though
the Peruvian shores are on the verge oil
the Great South Sea Boiler. yet it never
rains there. The reason Is plain. The
southeast trade winds in theAtiantic ocean,
first strikes the water on the coast of Afri-
ca. Travelling to the northwest, they blow
obliquely across the ocean until they touch
the coast of Brazil. By this time they are
heavily laden with yapor which they con-
tinue 10 bear along across the continent,
and deposiiing itas they go, and supplying
with it the sources of the Rio de la Plata

Andes, and here is wrung from them the
last drop of moisture that very low tenn
perature can extract. Reaching the sum-
NIT of that range they now tumble down
as cool and dry winds on the Pacific slopes

and with no temperature colder than that
to which they were subjected on the noun
tain tops, they reach the ocean before they

DR.. Walker led the mob to the door,

RIVER ITEMS.

49, Messrs. w. w. Scott and G. A. Ever

been withdrawn from the trade, the Jas. Paul
is just the steamer wanted. She is fast lit

der the charge of gentlemen who know the
trade. Capt Morrison is an old pilot in the
river, and Mr.. Everhart is a resident of Bow

determined to do everything in their power to
deserve patronage. We bespeak for the Jas.
