The English papers abound in witticsms and
BON mots, attributed to this well-known wag-
Some of them are worth preserving. His defn-
ition Of dogmatism, for instance:
'Dogmatism is puppyism come to its full
growth = has u meaning deep and philosophical
enough for an essay.
His winding up review Of Wordsworth's po-
ems was equally good lie reminds me- said
Jerrold, of the Beadle Of Paruassus, struttng
about in cooked hat or, to he more poetical, Of
modern Moses, who sits on Psgah, with his

AT the Cafe de pEuropc, there was famous
dish made OF calves tail, which was considered
as a greater dainty than ox-tail soup. Albert
Smith was reveing on this dish one day when
Jcrrold took scat near him. The gourmaud
said, Are you not surprised Jcrrold to see
me eating such dish as calves tailY
Not at all, replied the other extremes often

Mount Vernon.

Almost in sight of q Capital which bears the
greatest of republican. as of mortal names, lies
Mount Vernon. 1t is an estate, named after a
proud English noble, but famed as the home, for
nearly half a century. of one who led Freedom
host until English Lords and Commons were alike
humbled and the Lion Of an insolent despotIsm
was made to trail his name in the dust Mount
Vernon not only the home, but the scpulchre
place Of the best, the bravest, aud the purest OF
the mighty dead. or that sole man on the record
of our race who accomplished the supremest des-
tiny ambition could desire--the freedom of his
country. the love of his countrymeu, and the ad-
miration of the world, without yielding to one
temptation of power, or leaving one stain on a
character peerless among men u character for
ever intensfying its bcauyin the light of its own
brightness and across which might 1ty be writ
ten 10y the finger of an angel
lie serred his country and his God.'
Yes there lies Monnt Vernon, and the dust Of
its once living owner moulders within a shattered
mausolcum on its soil. For half century it has
mouldered there. and the hands of time and mod.
ern Nandals have been alike rude the one by
its gradual decay Of the fair forms and surround
ings of Washington homo. and the other, 10y its
sudden and mpouS deiacemcnts Of both home
and sepulchre Sunshine and shadow have long
hoated over dwelling and tomb. since their great
tenant went out from the one and down to the
other and each day the sunshine has fallen on Il
sadder picture of mutilatiOn. and the shadow has
perpctually deepencd over scene of growing
desolaton. Miluades has beated back the Per
slams Greece and her affairs are safe. but the
ashes of her drlivcrer may be loosely scattered
upon soil saved from the tread OF llelots to be
desecratcd by robbers-to become in half cen
tury stigma upon nations character and name.

The following extracts were translated from
the Ee4o du Pactfque, published in San Francis
co. The communication from which they were
taken was written by b. Defls, Esq, very intel
lgcnt gentleman and highly esteemed citizen
We are indebted to Professor NJ. Victor Ressayro
for the translation:
Much may be said upon this subject but will
give my ideas as briefly and succinctly rs posi-
BILE. Lite in the mines taken seriously is a hard
one-full OF dcccptions and notifications, Ten
hours Of hard and latigueing labor constitute the
daily task Of the miner, besides which, those who
are not blessed with a wife, are subjected to all
the cares of housekeepcr thus by turn becoming
cook, baker, tailor. and even shoemaker in fact
acquainted with all the various trades.
The cnioyments Of the miner are few, and even
they are bought at the price of his health, and
the sacrifice Of his purse. The woolen shirt for
merly so much prsed for its valuable services,
is to-day almost excluded.
Ii would be grave error 10 compare the ball
room scenes in the mines with those We have wit
messed in Paris, or even in San Francisco. Incl
dents occur which if not tragic, are sometimes
very comic. There is no time to lose-the cotil-
lion is forming the moments are precous--and
YOU see the mamma dropping her babe without
scruple on the first pair Of unoccupied knees
Second in order, in the way of amusement,
comes the theatre. Notwithstanding actors of
high talent seldom if ever visit us, those who do
are always welcome. We are not hard to please.
But the times are improving very much, and
society in the mines is growing better day by day.
This change may be attributed to the coming of
the fair sex. Trinity County now contains at
least from ninety to one hundred families.

The advantages of this arrangement. and the
benefit that must necessarily result to our town

OgB CHILDHOOD.
by GEO. D. PRENTICE.

BY GEO. D. PRENTICE.
'Tis sad-yct sweet to listen,
TO the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our children knew so WELL
To gaze out on the even,
And the bOundless fields of air,
And feel again our boyhood wish
TO roam Ike angels there
There are many dreams of cladness
That cling around the past
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come tlronging fast
The forms we loved so dearly
In the naPIy davs now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and lovely madcns
Who seemed so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such world as this
Whose soft dark eyes seemed swimming
In sea of liquid light.
Aud whose locks Of gold were streaming
Der broWs so sunny bright.
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring time of the year
Like the changcful CLEANS of April
They follow every tear
They have passed like hopc-away-
All their loveincss1ias fled
Oh many a heart is mourning
That they are with the dead
Like the bright buds Of summer,
They have fallen from the stem
Yet, oh-it is a lovely death
To fade from earth like Them
And yet the thought is saddenng
To muse on such as they
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away
That the fair ones whom we love-
Grow TO each loving breast.
Like tendrils Of the clnging vine,
Then perish where they rest.
And can we think of these.
In the soft aud gentle spring,
When the trees are waving Ger us,
And the flowers arc blossomng!
For we know that winters coming
With its cold and stormy sky
And the glorious beauty round US
Is blooming but to die
