The Californfan's Lament.
BIZ CHARLES a. EASTMAN.

The sun is down, dark grow the giades-
The stars are gathering in the deep,
And DER the earth nights misty shades,
Are stealing, like dream in sleep.
The wild winds wandering through the sky
Stoon from their paths as day declines.
And nestle with shivering cry,
And weary wing among the pines.
The twilight fades, and all the earth,
The night with solemn sadness fills
The moon, as fair as at her birth
Where heaven is welded to the hills.
Through heecy clouds around her flung,
Wheels up, beside the same sweet star
That with her, when the sky was young,
Looked over Eden from afar.
And small white clouds, like tufts of down.
Blown DER the bosom of the deep,
Are wandering round the mountain brown,
As sweet thoughts wander when in Sleep
While, family, in the west afar,
Is lingering still the days last light,
Around those kingly hills that bar
The circled heavens from our sight.
The cool breeze sweeps the dark blue lake,
The wild brook to its sweet self sings,
And the quick night-bird now awake,
Brushes the wave with glancing wings
Sweet Hope, with fair and gentle smiles,
Looks in the sick mans face and tells
How fresh-lipped health from fairy isles,
Is in that cool breeze as it swells.
OH would that thou vert here to gaze,
With me upon this evening sky,
To hear the rising wind that plays,
Among the tree-tops green and high.
Stirring their myriad leaves, until
Their murmur'd music swells along,
With all life's utterances, that fill,
The world with perpetual song.
With thee beside me, O.! more pure
Would be the prayer I send on high,
And l more meekly should endure,
Life's sorrows from thy tender eye,
Thy love would teach me what no book,
Ger which I've pined for years, hath taught
Calmly on baffled hopes to look,
And bless the changes they have wrought

The DEAD SEA-Though in breadth
not exceeding ten miles, the Dead Sea
seems boundless to the eye when looking
from north to south, and the murmur of
waves as they break on its fint-strewn
shore, together with the lines of drift
wood and fragments of bitumen on the
beach, give to its waters resemblance 70
the ocean. Curious to experience the
sensations of swimming in so strange a
sea, put to the test the account of the
extreme buoyancy felt in it, and I was
quickly convinced that there was no ex-
aggeration in what I heard. I found the
water almost tepid, and so strong that the
chief difficulty was to keep sufficiently
submerged, the feet starting up in the air
at every vigorous stroke When floating,
half the body rose above the surface, and
with pillow one might have slept upon
the water. After some time the strange
ness of the sensation in some measure dis
appeared, and on approaching the shore l
carelessly dropped my feet to walk out,
when 10 as if bladder had been attached
to each heel, they fewupwards, the strug-
gle to recover myself sent my head down,

now rushed into my mouth, eyes, ears and
nose, and for one horrible moment the
only doubt I had was whether / was to be
drowned or poisoned. Coming to the,

The Minister'S Fiddle.

Pond is made to figure quite prominently.
On certain day he was waited on by
married ladyof his congregation, who came
to reprimand the esteemed and somewhat
facetious preacher, for having bought a
fiddle for his son. Scarcely waiting for
the usual salutations, upon entering the
pastors dwelling, she began, as the story
goes =
"I think, DIR. Pond, that man of your
age and profession might have had some
thing better to do when you were in New
London, last week, than to buy Enoch
fiddle; all the people were ashamed that
our minister should buy his son fiddle.
A fiddle! Oh, dear, what is the world
coming to, when ministers will do such
things"
Who told you that had bought
Enoch fiddle" inquired the Doctor.
who told me? Why everybody says
SO, and some people have heard him play
on it, as they pass the door. But amt it
true, Doctor?"
"I bought Enoch violin when I went
to New London
CA violin What's that 2"
"Did you never see one p
"Never."
Enoch," said the Doctor, stepping to
the door, bring your violin here"
Enoch obeyed the command, but no
sooner had he entered with his instrument.
than the lady exclaimed:
"La now, there; why it's a fiddle"
"Do not judge rashly," said the Doctor,
giving his son the wink: "wait till you
hear i"
Taking the hint, enoch played Old
Hundred. The lady was completely mys-
tilted it looked like fiddle, but then who
ever heard Old Hundred played on a fiddle
it could not be. So Arising to depart, she
exclaimed
II am glad [ came to satisfy myself =
La, me just think how people will lie p
The SHADOWS OF CHILDHoOD.-God bless the
little children We like their bright eyes, their
happy faces, their winning ways their rosy
dreams Nothing seems to weigh down their
buoyant spirits long misfortune may fall to
their lot, but the shadows it casts upon their
life-path are feeting as the clouds that come
and go In an April sky. Their future may, per-
chance, appear dark to others, but to their fear
less gaze it looms up brilliant and beautiful as
the walls of fairy palace There lis no tetzrS
which a mothers gentle hand cannot heal,
anguish which the sweet murmuring of her
low voice cannot soothe. The warm, geH#
