[From the French of Hypolte Andevall
The Way 10 Paradise.

A child stood weeping nj the gate
or La Pite disconsolate,
Asking to see her mother dear,
Begone,' the brutal porter cried,
Your prayer is vain, she Is not here.
Il know she is the child replied,
Oh, let me see her implore :;
And still she raped the fastened door,
Till one more kindly than the rest,
Said, Cease thy tears, take my advice,
And try to calm your troubled breast,
Your mothers gone to Paradise.
'To Paradise! o, where's the way p
She asked of every one she met
They listened kindly, and all say,
The way is long and sore beset
With Obstacles But Hope leads on,
And Piety supports her sinking heart
Faith enconragcs-it shall be done
And Charity fulhls her part
And the child hopes once more to see
Her mothers face, and with her be,
Resolved at any sacrifice
To ilnd the way to Paradise.
Al length, upon barren soil,
Fatigue, and hunger, and the night
Arrest her in her weary toll:
A gentle shepard sees her plight
And to convent near doth lead her ;
The sisters hasten forth to MD her,
Bnt all too late ! she pales and tremblcs
Death, who parts and rrassembles,
To her mother soon unitrs her
Heaven opens. God invites her
Uustaincd and pure from earthly vice,
The sinless chld's in Paradise

of lady In the neighborhood says the Placer
Vile 1ri Weehiy Argus, who recently attended q
ball. given not u thousand miles from Diamond
Springs. who danced herself into a severe collie
She was removed 10 m adjoining room, accompa-
MED by female friends, who finally despalred of
giving her relief and called in the aid Of doc
tor. The worthy disciple OF Hisculapius decided
at once that the lady was not affected with collie
but-but- -but-some complaint that we are not
familiar with. Whereupon the ladies attending
the patient waved Indignant at the doctor, aud
declared that such could not be, rs the lady was
unmarried. The medicine man, however, was
willing to stake his professional reputation on the
verify Of his decision and bade the good women
hold their temper until time should develop the
facts. II was thought prudent. also to remove
the sufferer from the vicinity Of the ballroom,
and accordingly wagon with two horses. and a

By the time they reached the locality dcsgna-
