FMENpsHIP.-lf you would have q friend
you must find him; and as this is an impor-
tant point to gain, too much care cannot be
bestowed upon your search. BE very cau-
tous in your Scection--as it is not every
man who calls himself, or even appears to
be your friend who really is such Before
you venture to entertain the friendship of
any man, or offer him yours, be perfectly as
surcd that he is worthy Of 1t; do not rashlv
lose sight Of this precaution, as on its proper
observance depends the comfort nay. even
safety, of your choice. Never believe that
real friendship can exist without respect;
therefore, if you observe in the character
habits, or disposition Of any of your acquain-
tanccs aught that tends to lessen your es
TEEN for him as an individual or a Christian.
do not think to make that man your friend.
When you have found friend, your next
care must be to keep him. This will depend
almost entirely upon yourself Solomon
says, "A friend loyeth at all tines; but do
not presume too much, uor ever take adyan-
tagc Of your position, by making it the plea
for careless and negectful manner. The
baneful influence of such behavior is too of
ten seen in family relationships, and be as
sured it is most detrimental in diminishing
that respect which is Indispensable to true
friendship. Finally, you will do well to re-
member the proyerb of the wise man above
auoted-'A man that hath friends must
show himself friendly; and there is friend
that sticketh closer than brother

Mrs. PAETINGToN ArA SUNDAY CoNCERr.
Who is that| said Mrs Partington, in q
big whisper, at the Musical Hall, on Sunday
night during the performance of the Orato
rio of Solomon.
That's Solomon said the one she ad
dressed, tapping out the time on his thumb
with the librctto.
And these in front said she, pointing to
the ladies on the platform, are some Of his
seven hundred wives, ! spose, and the men
up behind 'em, must be the children of Is
rael. Well, Solomon must have been a wise
man to know how to take care of so many
wives but he wasn't any better than he
should be, if all the stories are true. Ah,
what blessed music that is to be sure How
much better than that which folks hear on
week-a-days in play-houses, played on god
less liddlcsp
She seated herself in an attentive attitude,
listening to the music, while Ike sat count
ing the new gas-lights round the hail, and
drumming Jordan on the arm of the settee.

LESSONS OF CoNrENTMENT-It happened
once, in hot summers day, | was standing
near q well, when little bird flew down,
seeking water. There was, indeed, a large
trough near the well, but it was empty and
| grieved for moment to think that the
little creature must go away thirsty; but it
settled upon the edge of the trough, bent its
little head forward, then raised it again,
spread its wings and scared away singing
its thirst was appeased. l walkedup to the
trough, and there, in the stone work, | saw
a little hole about the size of wrcn's egg
The water held there had been source of
revival and refreshment; it had found enough
for the present and desired no more This
is cOntentmcnt
Again, | stood by a lovely, sweet smell
ing flower, and there came bee, humming
and seeking; and it chose the flower for its
field of sweets But the flower had no hon
ey This | know for it had no nectary.-
What then, thought ], will the bee do? 1t
came buzzing out of the cup to take a fur
ther hight-but it sped the stamina full of
golden farina, good for making wax, and it
rolled its legs against them until they looked
like yellow hose as the bee-keepers say, and
then heavily laden, flew away home Then
said Thou camest seeking honey, and
finding none, has been satisfied with wax,
and hast stored it for thy house, that thy
labor may not be in vain. This, likewise,
shall be to me lesson of contentment.'
The night is far spent-the dark night of
trouble-that sometimes threatened to close
around us, but the day is at hand, and even
in the night there are stars, and [ have
looked out on them and been comforted; for
as one set, could always see another rise
and each was lamp showing me somewhat
of the depth of of the riches of the wisdom
and knowledge of God.

The Little Watcher.

BY A MINER.
Mother, how long will papa stay
Ayont the praries wild
And when will he come back, to kiss
His long forsakcn child
And chase the sorrow from thy brow
That's settled there SO deeply now ?
Mother, fear he ne'cr will come,
But in some lonesome glen
He's buried deep beneath the snow,
Or in the griZZly's den;
Or in the bottom of the sea-
lie never thinks of you and me.
No. mother, no, he can't be dead
When summer flowers spring
Upon the hills and meadows green,
And birds begin to sing,
Wen see him coming down the lane,
And kiss his sun-burnt cheek again.
Wen take his picture from the wall,
And wreathc it now with flowers,
And when he comes I'll tell him how
You prayed for him for hours
That while | slept the angels came
And whispered in my ear his name.
And when we hear the Sabbath bell,
Wen lead him to the grave,
To show where little brother sleeps,
Down where yon willows wave;
And then we'll offer thanks to God,
And press our fOrcheads on the sod.

The Conflict of the 10Th Century.

When Freedom, on her natal day,
Within her WarroCkcd cradle lay,
An iron race around her stood,
Baptized her infant brow with bloOd
And through the storms that round her swept
Their constant ward and watching kept.
Then where the quiet hcards repose,
The balclul roar of battle rose
And brethren of common tongte
To mortal strife as tigers sprung,
And every gift on Freedoms shrine
Was man for beast, and blood for wine.
Our fathers to their graves have gone,
Their strife's are o'er their triumphs won
But noblcr conflicts wait the race
That rises in their honofcd place
A moral warfare with the crime
And folly Of an evil time.
So let it be. In Gods own might
We grid us for the coming fight
And strong in him whose cause is ours
In conflict with unholy powers,
We grasp the weapons he has given
The Light, the Love, and truth of Heaven

The Miners Last Dream.
h Y + V l. YN

On Sierra where cheerless and dreary
Murmured streamlet, whose sands were of gold
A lone band of miners lived wayworn and weary,
Shaded by cedars so gloomy and old.
And there sat youth, in wild desolation.
Watching the stream that ran ceaselessly on;
Signing he wept that no consolation.
Gould for the loss of a mother atone.
Long had he labor'd and toilcd, yet in vain,
No smile of Dame Fortune could ever be won.
And temptation resisted again and again,
But more deeply erased what Hope had begun
Few wwcre his days sickness shorten'd their number
And delrium seized on his fevcr-tossed brain
Yet he smiled, as he dreamt, in his last broken
slumber,
The form of mother stood by him again.
No other he saw, when awaking he said,
" Now, mother, imprint the last kiss on my cheek
For soon shall peacefully rest with the dead,
And no more for your hcart-stricken child may
you seek"
Beneath the dark pines they buried him low,
But they knew that his hope, which could never
be riven,
Cleaned brightly and clear in Eternity's glow,
OF meeting that mother, on earth or in heaven

True POETRY In these namby -pamb,
days, it is refreshing to meet, occasionally
with poetic stanza that has soul in it, ant
meaning. Such are the following lines
from the pen of Mrs Judson Fanny For

Owhood We found them in the Home Jouy
Again down lifes dim labyrinth
| grope my way alone;
While, wildly through the midnight sky,
Black, huTying clouds are blown
And thickly in my tangled path,
The sharp bare thorns are sown.
Yet firm my foot, for well know
The goal cannot be far
And ever, through the rihed clouds,
Shines out one steady STAR
For Wheh my quite Uent up, he ieh

Which of us but can remember scenes OF

that can never be craSCd-SceneS that are

WEAVERVILLE TRINITY COUNTY, CAL. SATURDAY MORNING.

Boy LovE.-One of the queerest and fun
niest things to think of in after life, is Boy
love- No sooner does boy acquire toler-
able stature, than he begins to imagine him
self man, and to ape manish ways. He
casts sidelong glances at tall girls he NAV
meet, becomes regular attendant at church
or meeting; swings cane, carries his head
erect, and struts little in his walk. Pres
emily, and how very soon, he falls in love;
yes, falls is the proper word, because it best
indicates his happy, delirouS self-abasemcnt.
He now lives in fairy region, somewhere
collateral to the world, and yet, somehow,
blended inextricably with it. He perfumes
his hair with fragrant oils scatters essences
over his handkerchief, and desperately shaves
and anoints for beard. He quotes poetry
in which love and dove and heart and
dart peculiarly predominate; and he plunges
deeper in the delicious labyrinth; fancies
himself filled with the divine afllatus, and
rhyme. He feeds upon the looks of his be-
loved; is raised to the seventh heaven if she
speaks pleasant word; is betrayed into the
most astonishing exstacies by a smile, and
is plunged into the gloomiest regions of mis-
anthropy by a frown.
He believes himself the most devoted lover
in the world. There never was such another.
There never will be. He is the one great
idoator! He is the very type of magnanim-
ity and self-abnegation. Wealth! he dcS-
pises the grovelling thought. Poverty, with
the adorable beloved, he rapturously apos-
trophies as the first of all earthly blessings;
and love in a cottage with water and crust
is the beau ideal paradise of dainty delights.
He declares to himself, with the most sol
emn emphasis, that he would go through fire
and water, undertake a pilgrimage to China
or Kamschatka; swim storm-tosscd oceans;
scale impossible mountains; and face legonS
of bayonets but for one sweet smile from
her dear lips. He doats upon a flower she
has cast away. He cherishes her gloye--a
little worn in the fngerS-ncxt his heart.
He sighs like locomotive letting off steam.
He scrawls her dear name over quires of
foolscap-ftting medium for his insanity
He scornfully deprcciates the attention of
other boys of his own age; cuts Peter Thib-
belts dead, because he said that the adora-
bic Angelina had carroty hair; and passes
Harry Bell contemptuously, for daring to
compare that gawky Mary Jane with his
Incompatible Angelina.
Happy! happy foolish boy love; with its
hopes, and its fears, its joys and its sorrows;
its jealousies, its delights; its raptures and
its tortures; its eXstatc fervors and terrible
heart-burnings; its solemn ludicrOusness, and
its intensely prosaic termination.

A SHORT Cur TO INFAMY.-Cease living
with your wife and commence living with a
woman. People anxious to reach the peni-
tentiary, would act wisely in cutting this out
and FASTING it in their hats Living with a
woman leads to family feuds, lawsuits, and
assassinations During the past five years,
we have known no less than seven we'll
known citizens embark in this sort of specu-
lation. OF this number, one has been hung.
two are in the State Prison, and the other
four are under indictments Cor assault with
intent to kill The difference between a
wife and woman is infinite. One leads to
happiness and endless bliss, and the other to

NOBEL LOCAL IrEMs.-A Boston paper
gives the following model specimen Of local
items:
A gentleman in passing along State street
yesterday afternoon dropped his cane and
when he went to pick it up, he did it. The
cane had no ferule on it, the head was gone,
and pretty soon the stick went-along with
its owner.
A kitten was seen chasing its tail on a
door step of house near the corner of Ann
and Boylston streets last night There was
no policeman in sight at the time, and it is
not ascertaincd, therefore, whether she
caught it or not
The dome of the State House still remains
in its present position, and there are rumors
that it will do so still longer, unless it should
not. A man was seen looking at it the
other day
As an omnibus was passing by Deer Is
lane hospital, on its way to the outer light
house, large Newfoundland dog was OBJ
served to open his mouth BystandcrS
thought the animal intended to bark, but it
was asccrtained he was only gaping.
