intend to give your son, and l will endeavor
to i've my daughter an equal sum on her mar
riage dayl"
The guests looked up in half comical sur
prise at the audaclty of the old man in the
velvet jacket. Madame fixed herself bolt up
right in her seat, and announced, in measured
terms
"We will give our son on his marriage day
$4,000 francs"
'IIumph" calculated the old man, "that
seems to me not SO good as | had reckoned
upon If did not know that these young
people loved each other sincerely, should be
tempted to break off the match. But let it
go My daughter will receive on her we'd
ding day the sum of 1000 francs; and /
will besides see to the furnishing of the brides
house"
1t is not necessary to describe the aston
ishment of the guests at these words The
subject of dover was incontinently dropped
and the Cr9sus in velvet jacket and knee
breeches became at once an object of the
kindest attentions.
Even now, however the matter was not SO
quickly settled as had been thought; for Ma
dame lie We're, anxious to appear well before
her guests, had named as Georges "dot" a
much larger sum of money than her husband
could raise without mortgaging portion Of
his property.
So the young people had impatientIy to
wait; till one day Georges father received
from Monsieur Bertol an envelope containing
fifty thousand franc notes, and the following
note
JANuARy 10
ut is not worth while to make our young
ones wait for such bagatele as this in
close what is needed. You will, of course,
keep the matter quiet. But another time do
not judge too much by appearances Let the
wedding be on the 10th.
THOMAS BERroL, Rag Seller"
So George was married And the old Au-
vergnat, having lost his book keeper, was
obliged to close his vault and sell his precious
assortment of chiioner's findings.
When visited George and Marie last Nav
at their country-seat not far from Paris, l
found the old man tending flowers in gar
den specially devoted to him. The habit Of
work is upon him, and he must labor to be
happy AS sat by him, upon garden-seat
listening to some stories of his earlier days,
he suddenly stopped, and pointing to Marie,
who was leaning upon her husbands arm and
admiring some flowers, said
when my little girl makes me a grand
father, | shall have enough to make NE hap
py;" and then, with sigh,
"If only her mother could see her now!"

MOTHER.

The name Of Motherl sweetest name
That ever fell on mortal ear;
The love of Mother! mightiest love
Which God allows to flourish here;
Dissect mothers heart, and see
The properties it doth contain
What pearls of love, what gems of hope
A mothers heart beats not in vain.
The words of Mother! when they flowed
In loves true rhetoric from her lips,
The meteor-stars of sin and shame
Were lost amid bright eclipse.
And when | walked the glttering path
Where vice held out its charms to me,
OH then my mind first realized
How deep a mothers care can be.
A Mothers carel 1t never wanes-
What ii her boy an migrate seems?
The radiance of mothers care
Around her thaakless offspring beams;
Though to perdition treads his fate,
And crime hath driven him to the bowl
A Mothers care can yet avail
A Mtther's prayers may win his soul.
Go to the soldier, when he treads
The battle ground, and sentry keeps,
And ask him why, at such a place,
His bosom heaves, and why he weeps?
And hear him tell how he was led
Long years ago by thoughtless men,
From her whom he shall never see
And kiss upon this earth again.
What heart like Mothers can forgive
The peccadilloes of our youth?
What hand, like hers can lead us back
From sin, to innocence and truth?
Oh, name of Motherl sweetest name
That ever fell on mortal ear;
Oh, love of Mother, mightiest love
That God allows to flourish here

Historioal Notes.-california.

The name "Cahfornia" is already found in
the history of the conquest OF Mexico by Ber-
nal Diaz, a companion of Cortes. But there
it is! only applied to a bay. BY and by it
was given to the whole country north of that
bay. Its origin is uncertain. Some learned
men started the opinion that it ought to be
derived from the Latin "Calida fornar,D a
hot oven, and that it was given to the rocky
peninsula because the first discoverers there
suffered much from the heat Some other
deriyations of the name California from the
Latin may be found in Clavigero's history of
Mexico, in paragraph first. Clavgero makes
the remark that Cortes was very fond of such
Latin words Probably it is a misunderstood
or corrupted Indian name Because it was
for long time supposed that it was a large
island and that many small islands belonged
to il, some called the country LAS Cahfor-
AiaS,p (the Caifornias.) One hundred and
thirty years after Cortes, after the middle of
the seventeenth century, some geographers
called the supposed Californian islands "Llas
Caroliaas," King Charles Islands, in honor
to King Charles Ii, King of Spain, who in
tended to conquer the whole.
What we now call Upper California" was
called by the geographers of the sixteenth
century, Qpluirnp from supposed rich
kingdom of that name The northern part
of this same Upper California and of our
Oregon Territory was called, (1578) by Sir
Francis Drake. Mora Ai5ioa, and this name
was pretty generally adopted by the Euro
pean geographers, except the Spanish 1t
was extended, by and by, over the whole of
Oregon and Upper California.
The name Upper California or New Cali
fornia, California Nueya,) sprung into exist
ence when the Franciscan missionaries, since
1862 made settlements to the north of the
old California Peninsula. They called Cali
fornia Nueya" the whole Pacific slope, as far
north as it became known to them
Since 1919, since the so-called Florida
treaty, the northern boundaries of New Cali
fornia were fixed at the AID deg of latitude,
and then soon the more northern part began
to be called the Oregon Country"
Since the conquest and eeSsion of the pro-
vince to the United States, (since ls47) the
southern boundaries were fixed at 32 deg. 35
min. Of latitude.
We now generally call the country only
California" BY geographers it is some
times called Continental California in CON
trast to the Californian Peninsula National
hiteiiigeacer.

How TO AVON BEING PERsoNAL.-Sheridan
Knowles being advised by Sir E Buwer Lyt-
ton to read Gibbons Decline and Fall. il or
der to get a good plot for new play he had
engaged to write, went, in his usual impulsve
manner, and Immediately subscribed to Saun-
ders & Otley's public.library Paying down
his subscription for three months, he walked
away. Being on the eve of going into the
country he did not take any books then, but
on his return to London, nearly four months
afterwards, he called and asked for the work
III question. The clerk looked over the names
and said, Your subscription has expired,
sir; ! cannot let you have any books until
you have paid for another quarter in ad-
vance"
The wrath Of the Irish dramatst was
aroused, and he soundly rated the clerk, de-
claring that Saunders & Otley were cou-
pie Of swindlers"
One of the partners hearing this, came
forward and reproached Mr.. Knowles for
his personal insult.
Personal, my dear sir" said the wit, mot
bit Of it--i you are Mr.. Saunders, damn
Mr.. Otley; if you are Mr. Otley. damn Mr..
Saunders; | would not be personal for the
worldw
The partner smiled at the felicitous retort,
and put Knowles ON the free list.
