By-the-by, the article in the True Caiifor-
nian smacks very strongly of the Pacific

coast, Of which we spoke some weeks ago in
a brief paragraph, and which was sconfed at

was seriously entertained We gave it as an
item for politicians. Perhaps they may be-
gin to see now that it was even then worthy
of their consideration
Let us hear no more of Revolution
True
"We know that there are angry spirits
And turbulant mutterers of stified treason,
Who lurk in narrow places and walk out
Muifed to whisper curses to the night; !"
But the good sense and patriotism of the
people of California will not be overcome by
such ncfarious characters.
Instead of listening to and encouraging
the song of Rebellion and Revolution, those
who are striving to see the law and justice
maintained whether they be acting as Off
GERS or as vigilants-will sing
"Oh for tongue to curse the slave,
Whose treason, like a deadly blight,
Comes DER the councils of the brave,
And blasts them in their hour of night"
A word to the wise is suificient-one warn

THE NICARAGUA RourE.- Elsewhere in this
paper we publish full particulars Of the pres
ent condition of the Nicaragua Transit Route
The suffering and mortality among the pas
sengers by the steamer Sierra Nevada, both
before and after they embarked upon the
Pacific, presents picture that is truly heart
rending. The primary cause of the trouble
is found in the Nicaragua war-the Transit
Route having been taken charge Of by new
parties under decree from Walkers Gov
ernmont, but subsequently falling into the
hands of the Costa Ricans
The Nicaragua Route has generally been
regarded with favor-indeed it has been rath-
er remarkable for quick and pleasant pas
sages-but it has experienced several back
sets, calculated to render it unpopular. We
remember very well that in 1852, there was
time when it was regarded as next thing to
death to be caught upon the Nicaragua 18th
mus. AT that time, we awaited four or five
weeks almost in despair, the arrival of a wife
and child; and when they did arrive in San
Francisco, We felt almost as though they had
arisen from the dead-or as though they
could only have been preserved by special
protecting Providence. Since then, however,
the route has generally preserved reputa-
ton for the health and safety of passengers
in traaSitu.
The Costa Ricans having been compelled
to leave Nicaragua, and the war having ceas-
ed, at least for the present, it is more than
likely this route will soon be in good condi-
ton again; but until there is abundant as
surance of comfort and safety, passengers
homeward bound should either go by Pana-
ma, through Mexico, around the Horn, via
China or across the Plains

cr given in this county. We hope to see a

| have recently gin up all idea
of women folks, and come back to

in this line than in huntin' the

when you fish for 'em and get

you've stuffed 'em with peanuts,

my experience. But I've done

NOBODY BUT A PRINTER.

'Oh, he's nobody but printer" :"
exclaimed Miss Ellen Dupree, a flirt-
ing and foolish girl, to one of her fe-
male friends, who was speaking in
terms of praise and commentator of
Mr.. Barton Williams, a young and in
telligent printer.

speak as though printer was en-
titled to no responsibility. | hope
you will explain yourself" replied
Miss Mary CrosSman.
"WelI, hope you will excuse me.

man who has to labor for a living, to

rents would be pleased2 [ know |

days, than marry printer--a man
who has to toll day and night, and

distinguished printers of the present
day?
ooh, now and then you may come
across one that is respectable but
they are few and far between. And as
to Mr. Williams, [ do not consider
him a Franklin or Blackstone, or
any body else much."
"Nor do / consider him a Franklin
or Blackstone either, but do think
him a very intelligent young man, and
worthy any young lady's attention,

how cool and Indifferent she treated
him on that occasion. Yes, nobody
but printer went like daggers to
her heart. That printer is now her
benefactor and friend.

A TROUBLESOME NAME.

The late Judge Smith, of New
Hampshire, was a man of infinite
humor, and nothing appeared to
please him more than to crack a
joke with Jeremiah Mason, who
was his contemporary at the bar.
One day Mr.. Mason was engaged
defending a man of the name OF
Smith for horse-stealing. At dim
ner, the judge, addressing Mr..
Mason across the table, says =
"Well, Mr.. Mason, are you GO
ing to get your client Off"
"Can't tell" says Mr.. Mason
"could if it wasn't for his cursed
name"
If you want to see a black
squall, just look at a negro baby

When do | love to be alone?
When the soft evening hour.
Comes with its witching power.
Bringing sweet memories, past and gone;
When some quick step | hear,
Minds me of loved ones, dear,
All! then | love to be alone.
When do love to be alone?
When musc's soft, cchoing notes,
Sweetly DER the night air hoats,-
Floates-oh. so softly-in loves own tone,
Then, when hearts memory wakes,
Where glinting moonbeam breaks,
All! then love to be alone.
When do love to be alone?
When some work of a master-hand,
Wakes up being with magic wand,
Wakes up heroes, long dead and gone;
When lcih them, hope, fear,-
When for them, shed a tear
All! then love 10 be alone.
When do | love to be alone?
When DER the lowly grave,
Where the Young willows wave,
Weeping for those, now dead and gone;
When on that holy sod,
Knecling, pray to God,
All! he7, | love to be alone.

Absent from me, my gentle wife,
The day drags to a weary close,
And from its petty tolls and strife,
Isink to slumber, not repose.
For that soft eve that sways my dreams,
As swavs the moon the restless deep,
Above the spirits cavcrned streams,
Its star-likc ward it may not keep.
| miss thee when morn's rosy blush,
The orient tints with rosy light;
At fery;d noon. or evenings hush,
Or heavy stiffness of the night =
Then think me Of that two-fold hour,
When first we met, when lastwe part
Aud wonder if thy beauty's power,
Beyond the grave shall chain my heart
The low-voiced winds of twilight sigh,
In silvery cadence on the air,
And Heayen seems list'ning in the.sky,
Mute natures universal prayer.
But am sad IT'S eventide,
Within my heart by night or day,
When thou art absent from my side,
Orb of my JOY or grief, alway!
The heart is but the whispering shell,
That answers to Affections sea:
Once bound by Loves mysterious spell,
1t echoes love eternally.
