A Child 'oF SLEEP-A young and
frail Scotch girl, scarcely more than a
child, and beautiful as any of Walter
Scott's heroines, has lately attracted the
public attention of Paris by sleeping wher-
ever she goes. Her name is Erina Walton,
and her mother has brought her to Paris
to try by travel to cure her of her singu-
lar malady. At the opera she no sooner
takes her scat in box than she falls to
sleep, and thus remains until she is AVA
kened, and it is whilst in this position
that she has gained the credit of f" La
Belle Dornleuse" While she sleeps she
is said to enjoy dreams so lovely and so
attractive that the awakening into the
commonplace surroundings of this world
displeases her, and she hastens back again
into dream-land. At home, in carriage,
wherever she is left alone for Il moment,
she settles into calm, sweet sleep; and
with lovely and child-like face, and
dreams such as she enjoys, one can readily
imagine that her face, in sleep, is the
centre of attraction for all eyes, and that
she merits the title of "The Beautiful
Sleeper"

A WORD FOR THE EAR OF SINGLE
MEN.-It strikes us that there is ssworld
of wisdom in the following quotation.
brief as it is: Every school boy knows
that kite would not fly unless it had n
string tying it down. 1t is just so in life
The man who is tied down by half a
dozen blooming responsibilities and their
mother, will make a higher and stronger
flight than the bachelor, who, having
nothing to keep him steady, is always
laundering in the mud. If YOU want to
rise in the world, tie yourself to some
body"
San Andreas independent., 1857-12-12

GREAT EXAMPLES be cold and
breathless-to feel and speak not-this
is not the end of existence to the men
who have breathed their spirit into the
institutions of their country, who have
stamped their characters on the pillars of
the age, who have poured their hearts
blood into the channels of the public
prosperity. Tell me, who tread the sods
on yon sacred height, is Warren dead?-
Can you not see him, not pale and pros
trate, the blood of his gallant heart pour
ing out of his ghastly wound, but moving
resplendent over the field of honor, with
the rose of heaven upon his cheek and
the fire of liberty in his eye? Tell me,
ye who make your pious pilgrimage to
the shades of Vernon, is Washington,
indeed, shut up in that cold and narrow
house? That which made these men,
and men like these, cannot die. The
hand that traced the Charter of Indepen-
dence is, indeed, motionless, the eloquent
lips that sustained it are hushed, but the
lofty spirits that conceived, resolved and
maintained it, and which, alone, to such
men, "make it life to liye," these cannot
expire.
"Thesc shall resist the empire of decay,
When time is o er and worlds have passed away,
Cold in the dust the perishcd heart may lie.
But that which warmed it once can never die"
Ed,cdrd Ecerctt.
San Andreas independent., 1857-12-12

BsE Washington seldom indulged in a
joke or sarcasm, but when lie did he always
made decided hit. During the debate
on the establishment Of the federal arn,v
a member of Congress offered resolutions
limiting it to 1000 men, to which Wash
ington offered an amendment, proyidin@
that no enemy should ever invade rboo
country with more than 1000 soldiers -
The laughter which ensued snotbercd
the resolution.

The Rain upon the Roof.
BY MRS. FRANCES D. GAGE.

Long ago, poet, dreaming.
Weaving fancy's warp aud woof,
Penn'd tender, soothing poem
On the " Rain upon the Roof"
Once read it, and its beauty
Filled my heart with mem'ries sweet;
Days of childhood fitted round me.
Violets sprang beneath my feet;
And my gentle, loving mother
Spoke again in accents mild,
Curbing every wayward passion
OF her happy, thoughtless child
Then heard the swallows twittring
Underneath the cabin caves,
And the laughing shout of Willie
Up among the maple leaves.
Then blessed the poets dreaming,
blessed his fancy warp and woof;
And wept DER memory's treasures,
As the rain fell on the root.
Years ago lost the poem,
But its sweetness fingers still.
As the freshness of the valley
Marks where fiow'd the spring time rill.
Lost to read, but not to feeling;
For. the rain-drop never falls
Ger my head with pattering music,
But it peoples mem'rys halls
With the old familiar faces,
Loved and treasured long ago:
Treasured now, as in life's sprir g-time,
For my heart no change can know.
And live again my childhood,
In the home, far, far away;
Roam the woodland orchard, wildwood,
With my playnates still at play.
Then my grey hairs press the pillow,
Holding all the world aloof,
Dreaming swcetly as listen
To the rain upon the roof.
Every pattering drop that falleth
Seemeth like an Angels tread,
Bringing messages of mercy
To the weary heart and head.
Pleasant thoughts of years departed,
Pleasant soothings for to-day;
Earnest longings for tomorrow,
lIopings for the far away;
For know each drop that falletll
Comes to bless the thirsty earth,
Making seed to bud and blossom,
Springing all things into birth.
As the radiant bow, that scattereth
All our faithlessness with proof
or a seed-time and a harvest,
So the rain upon the roof.

LIFE.-The mere lapse of years is not
life. 10 eat, drink and sleep; to be ex-
posed to darkness and light; to pace
around in the mill of habits, and turn the
mill of wealth to make reason our book
keeper, and thought the implement of
trade-this is not life. In all this but a
poor fraction of the unconsciousness of
humanity is awakened; and the sancti-
ties still slumber which make it worth
while to be- knowledge, truth, love,
beauty, goodness, faith alone can give
vitality to the mechanism of existence;
the laugh of mirth which yibrates through
the heart, the tear which freshens the dry
wastes within, the music that brings
childhood back, the prayer that calls the
future near, the death which startles us
with mystery, the hardship which forces
us to struggle, the anxiety that ends in
being Chalmers.

DISCOVERY OF A NEW OVERLAND
ROUTE TO Washington,
Oct. p, 1S57.-The Interior Department
has just received additional advices from
Magraw's section Of the wagon road expo
dition, dated Independence Rock, Sept.
l3. Engineer Lander, who was in the
advance of the party, succeeded in finding
out an excellent route from the summit
of the South Pass to Beer, or Soda Springs,
on Bear river, and has been quite sue
cessful west of these springs Upon the
discovery of a good road between the
points first mentioned, depended the sue
cess of this portion of the parties engaged
in the construction of this great thorough
fare from fort Kearney to the California
State line at Honey Lake. The opening
of this new route will save many miles of
travel to both California and Oregon emi-
grants. 1t is thought the expedition will
get to California by the 18th December.
