"MY DEAR MoTHER."-When Tom Bell was
informed of his fate, and that he had but few
moments to live, he requested permission to
write, which was granted him. and he hurriedly
penned a letter to his Dear Mother. Account
Of the Capture and E1ecution Of Tom Bell
There is no stronger evidence of the exis-
tence and Immortality of the Human Soul, than
the fondness with which the heart of man cher
lshes the memory of Mothers Love. This
Divine principle appears to be the only virtuous
tenant that will not forsake the criminal in his
numbering career. In the flush of youth and
pride of prosperity, the Bandit and the Pirate
may forget the family altar, cease to remember
sister and brother,-buried beneath the corod-
ing effects of crime and scared by whitening
care,-a wicked and abandoned heart Yields up
every treasure, but the memory of a Dear Mo-
ther" around that word clings all the finer feel
ings of their nature; it dispells the thraldom of
evil Spirits and at its ''open sesame momentarily
the lustre of long-forgotten virtues CLEAN forth
like the Jewels in Aladdin's Cave. Tom Bell
was but 26 years old;" passion for evil had
destroyed the early bloom of his boy-hood days
and made desolate as the tomb, his manhoods
prime, yet when he learned his fate, the cher
ished memory of his Mother rose exultant even
over the wreck of hope-a bright fame of spir-
itual love,-only to be extinguished by the dark
and silent waves of death. Joys and their
memories pass away, but the remembrance of
Our kind old Mother Far, far, away" is per-
petual as Time and LASTING aS Eternity The
last words of Three Fingered Jack" the most
brutal and heartless criminal that ever perished in
California, aeere,-" My Mother Oh My Dear
Motherl"
The following lines, soriaen By Convict, in
the Ohio Penitentiary, are touchingly beautiful:

FLowERs.-How the universal heart of
man blesses flowers They are wreathed
around the cradle, the marriage altar and
the tomb The Persian in the far east de-
lights in their perfume, and writes his love
in nose-gays; while the Indian child of
the far west, claps his hands with glee as
he gathers the abundant blossoms-the IL
Illuminated picture of the prairies. The
Cupid of the ancient Hindoos tipped his
arrows with flowers, and orange-buds are
the bridal crown with us, nation of yes
terday. Flowers garlanded the Grecian
altar, and they hang in votive wreaths be-
fore The Christian shrine.
All these have appropriate uses. Flow.
ers should deck the brow of the youthful
bride, for they are in themselves lovely
type of marriage. They should twine
round the tomb, for their perpetually re
newed beauty is a symbol of the ,resurrec-
ton. They should festoon the altar, for
the fragrance and their beauty ascend in
perpetual worship before the most high
Lydiu Maria Child.

following are the chief vineyards of old
bearing vines in this place:

The first and last individuals are more
extensively engaged in the manufacture of
wines than the rest of this place, and their
brands at the North are in greater demand
than others. Mr. B. D. Wilson of San
Gabriel, is likewise extensively engaged in
manufacturing champagne wine, which is
reputed to be of excellent quality.
All the refuse grapes, with the pum-
mics distilled, and, after the second distil-
lation, clear liquid, like alcohol in ap-
pearance and strength, is obtained. This
sells here, by the barrel of Is gallons, at
81 per gallon, from which large amount
of American brandy may be easily manu-
featured. Peach brandy, of superior
kind, is manufactured here, and sold at
So per gallon. The cost is high, but the
expense of making it is heavy. To make
one gallon of peach brandy requires three
bushels and half of ripe peaches, while
the other expenses are the same as of ma
tive brandy. OBSERVER.

To My Mother.

GIVE wandered far from thee, mother,
Far from my happy home;
Eve left the land that gave me birth,
In other climes to roam
And time, since then, has rolled its years
And marked them on my brow;
Yet, have thought of thee
I'm thinking of thee now.
I'm thinking on the day, mother,
When at my tender side
You watch'd the dawning of my youth,
And kissed me in your pride;
Then brightly was my heart lit up
With hopes of future joy,
While your bright fancy honor's wove,
To deck your darling boy.
Pm thinking on the day, mother,
When, with anxious care,
You lifted up your heart to heaven
Your hope, your trust was there
Fond memory brings your parting words,
While tears rolled down your cheek;
Thy long, last, loving look told more,
Than ever words could speak.
I'm far away from thee, mother,
No friend is near me now,
To soothe me with tender word,
Or cool my aching brow.
The dearest ties affection wove
Are now all torn from me;
They left me when the trouble came
They did not love like thee.
Pm lonely and forsaken now,
Unpited and unblest;
Yet still would not let thee know
How sorcly I'm distressed;
know you would not chide, mother,
You could not give me blame:
But soothe me with tender words,
And bid me hope again.
would not have thee know, mother,
How brightest hopes decay;
The tempter with his baleful cup
Has dashed them all away;
And shame has left its venom'd sting,
To rack with anguish Wild
Yet still would not have thee know
The sorrow of thy child.
Oh | have wandered far, mother,
Since deserted thee:
And left thy trusting heart to break,
Beyond the deep blue sea-
Oh, mother still | love thee well,
And love to hear thee speak,
And feel again thy balmy breath
Upon my care-worn cheek.
But ah there's a thought, mother,
Peryades my bleeding breast,
That thy freed spirit may have flown
To its eternal rest;
And while Iwipe the tear away,
There whispers in my ear
\ voice that speaks of heaven and thee,
And bids me enter there.

CoRPuLENcE A CRIME. The ancient
Spartan paid as much attention to the
rearing of men, as the cattle breeders ina
modern England do the breeding OF cat
They took charge of the frmnesS
looseness of mems flesh, and re
the degree of fatness to which i
full, in free State, for any-ci
tend his body. Those who dared
too fat or too soft for military exc
the service of Sparta, were SCUM,

was brought before the Ephor
meeting of the whole people Of
which his unlawful fatness va
exposed, and was threatened with
Punishment if he did not bring

was declared to be more worth
Ionian than son of Laeedamon.

INTELLIGENT LABoR.-How important,
therefore, is it that children should be ed
ucated in habits of industry Man was
made to work and the man who does not
work, does not fulfill the conditions of his
creation. He perverts nature, and the
result of such perversion must necessarily
be unhappiness, for the laws of nature
may not be broken with impunity.
From an early age, our children should
be taught to do something and that some
thing should have an object; for no one
will feel inclined to persevere in any work
unless he has some object to stimulate his
efforts. 1t is true that person may work
diligently for the mere wages which he re-
ceives for his work, but he cannot feel the
same satisfaction in working, as he will
feel if at the same time he gains the
means of subsistence, he is engaged in the
construction of some object, which will
be a thing of admiration, or of utility,
when it is accomplished.
The shipwright who hews the timbers
for beautiful vessel, feels an interest in
the OBJECT winch is, TO some eAtent, the
work of his hands. The mason who
places and cements the stones of fine
building, feels an interest in the structure
which stimulates his efforts, and enables
him to work with more satisfaction than
he could do, if he had no object in view,
but the mere pecuniary reward of his la
bor An anecdote is related of wealthy
citizen to whom laborer applied for work
Having no employment for him, he di-
rected him to remove a pile of stones
from one place to another The man hav-
ing completed this work, asked what he
should do next; and was told to carry
the stones back<to the place where he had
taken them from This so disgusted him
that he refused to continue such work. 1t
had no object

Labor.
"ls there for honest poverty
That hangs his head and a that,
The mans man
Labor.
The mans a man
For a. that, and a. that

For a. that, and a. that
We are all laborers. It is not clear. that
what are generally regarded as the higher
employments, are always more desirable
than Others There are risks and distrac-
tions attending some of those seemingly
higher employments, which render them
far less desirable than others usually rated
as more humble. Professional men de-
pend upon the skill of their minds Yet
not the great majority are the favorites of
fortune. Their positions depend upon
others. Their independence is often COM
promised. The rare instances of good for
tune tempt the gaze and aspirations of the
young, and induce them to leave prepara-
ton to pursue more certain employments,
for the lottery of professional success
The same is measurably true of mercantile
employments. The one !" large strike" is
watched and no account taken of the
multitude of instances of failure or only
moderate success.
Public employment, is the most pre-
carious of all He is not to be envied,
who holds position at the will of another,
or at the fckleness of the popular will
The mechanical and agricultural employ
ments are the great staple of life. They
furnish the most certain and constant en-
ployment This certainly is favorable to
intellectual progress The mind is not
harassed with solicitudes about the future.
The mechanic, in ordinary conditions of
society, is almost certain Of employment.
His very pursuit, if he avoids low asso-
Citations, is promotive of mental culture
The mechanics, in actual knowledge, will
compare favorably with almost any other
class. The same is true of farmers The
really intellectual mechanic, or farmer,
with mind free from engrossment, can ac-
complish much in study. A change of
employment, then, rising higher in the
scale of occupation, is not the object to
set before eur ambition. 1t is self-im-
provement in the position which we may
occupy. There is preference in occu-
pations, but far less than men suppose
The advantage is not commonly on the
side where young people are most apt to
place it. Were we to choose now the po-
sition most digni6ed, and most to our taste,
it would be perhaps that of the farmer,
with leisure to study and condition of
independence. The mechanic is in po-
sition as dignifed as that of almost any
other man. Elihu Burritt, is none the
more honorable in any other occupation
than the toiling, sweating blacksmith!
Then let us each labor in the sphere in
which circumstances or Providence has
placed us. Let us not look to the occu-
patton to give us our grade, but let us dig
Nifty the position which we may occupy
In many respects, we envy the condition
of the journeymen printer, who looks to
our bookeeper each Tuesday night for his
money. Fidelity and character will make
any place honorable. Even an editors
position-servant as he is, of servants
may be respectable, if he tolls with the
spirit of true workman upon mind

REPUTATION AND CHARACTER

REPUTATION AND CHARACTER.-Many
persons regard reputation, or what this
world says of them, as more important then
character, or, what they are Slander, thon,
has driven many an innocent and we'll
meaning person to crime. Remember this
in your idle and sinful twaddle about your
neighbors, and remember it in your pray
ers for mercy.
San Andreas independent., 1856-10-18

A THOUGHT FOR THE RIcH.-It is a
thought very frequently true-a general
truth. 1t is thought for those who are
laboring for riches to bequeath to their
children. The less you leave your child
ren when you die, the more they will have
twenty years afterwards. Wealth inher-
tied should be the incentive to exertion.
Instead of that, :" 1t is the title-deed to
sloth." The only money that does man
good is what he earns himself. A ready
made fortune, like ready-made clothes,
seldom fits the man who comes in possess
ion. Ambition, stimulated by hope and a
half-flled pocket-book, has a power that
will triumph over all difficulties, beginning
with the rich mans contumely, and leav-
ing off with the envious man S malice.

COURAGE THE BEST GIFT.-Couragge

want to get along and be good-looking,

THE IRON HORSE. E.-Elihue Burrit. tn,

THE IRON HoRsE.-Elihue Burrit, the
learned blacksmith, has a better fancy of
the iron horse than any we remember to
have seen elsewhere. Thus he describes
him:
| love to see one of those huge crea-
lures, with sinews of brass and muscles of
iron, strut forth from his smoky stable,
and saluting the long train of cars with a
dozen sonorous pufs from his iron nos
trils, fall gently back into his harness.
There he stands, champing and foaming
upon the iron track, his great heart fur
mace of glowing Goals; his lymphatic blood
is boiling in his veins; the strength of a
thousand horses is nerving his sinews-he
pants to be gone He would snake"
st. Peter across the Desert Of Sahara, if
he could be fairly hitched to it; but there
is little, sober-eyed, tobacco-chewing
man in the saddle, who holds him in with
one finger, and can take away his breath in
moment, should he grow restive OF vi
cious. / am always deeply interested in
this man, for begrimmed as he may be
with coal diluted in oil and steam, [ re-
gard him as the genius of the whole ma
chinery, as the physical mind of that
huge steam horse.
