AN AurUsrNAL DAY.
BIZ W. H. rrMRoD.

N II By ". n. TIMHUD. - "T
Sleeps the soft South nursing its delicate breath
To fan the first buds of the early spring; .ia..
And summer, signing, mourns his faded wreath,
Its many colOred glories withering dh
Beneath the kisses of the new walked Narth,
Who yet in storms approaches not, but smiles
On the departing season, and brsathes forth
a fragrance as Of summer--till, ct whiles,
All that is sweetest in the varying year
Seems softly bleht ia one delicious hour,
Waking dim visions Of some former sphere
Where sorrows such as earth owns had no pOwe
10 veil the changeless lustre Of the skies.
2 Aud mind and matter formed one paradise
The Yazoo Democrat. [volume] (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1858-18??, 1858-12-04

Lohgfellow thus happily describes the gradu
coming on of the shadows of twilight: gg
Slowly, slowly up the wall
Steals the sunshine, steals the shade,
Evening damps begin to fall, sa
oi Evening shadows are displayed,
Round me, Ger me, everywhere,
All the sky is grand with Clouds,
And atLwart the evening Dir aH
Wheels the swallows home in crowds.
Shafts of sunshine from the west
Paint the dusty windows red,
Darker shadows deeper rest,
Underneath and overhead, aa
Darker, darker and more wan.
Inmy breast'the shadows fall !;
Upward steals the life Of man, +
r 0Asthe sunshine from the wall,
From the wall into the sky,
al From the roof along the spire;
All, the souls Of those that die
nAre but sunbeams lifted higher.

MOTHERS COMING

Jane and sat / y the hearth,
Watching the embers of the FIRE,
Her head was on my shoulder laid,
Her heart was drawn little higher.
/ asked her just for one short kiss,
And felt my ears so fercely humming-
She looked and blushed, and softly said:
"DO it quick my mothers coming"
My arms around her then flung,
And felt our hearts together beating:
A smothered shriek--a little smack
Told of two souls together meeting.
Years have fed, and ! enjoy
Happiness beyond all summing; M
kiss her now whene'er like,
And never heed her mothers coming

My little friend that's gone to Texas.
In the State Of Alabama,
In the State of Alabama,
Till she could walk,
And she could talk,
Without the toddle, lisp and stammer,
Her life was passed in young delight;
She learned her letters and her grammar,
And how to read, and how to write,
In the State of Alabama.
A little while she stayed in jackson,
A little while she stayed in jackson,
knew her there,
A creature fair,
With tresses neither black nor flaxen:
A little lass, with health's warm tints;
But suppose that she is waxen
A tall and graceful lady since
A little while she stayed in Jackson.
She said she'd be my little sister,
She said she'd be my little sister;
N And on the day
She went away,
/ kissed her once, and twice kissed her.
Her voice was pleasant to me then
As some sweet tune of Tusey Fister;
But oh it sounded sweetest when
She said she'd be my little sister.
My little friend that's gone to Texas,
My little friend that's gone to Texas,
if From all the strife
Of mortal life,
And all the cares that daily vex us,
From ali regrets that follies yield,
From all the troubles that perplex US,
May Heaven ever kindly shield
My little friend that's gone to Texas.

THE RISING MOON,

As seen from The Dickson House, Jackson Mas
by MRS. /. n. DAVIS
The rising moon now shows her blushing face,
And tints the earth with oriental grace;
And while dim twilight shades the biilowy plain
This glittering queen of heaven begins her reign
Her jeweIed crown CLEANS like globe of fire,
Her face unveiled, for myriads to admire;
And now while mounting, sheds . paler light,
As If abashed by gaze Of mortal sight.
This smiling -eauty rolls in gorgeous state,
Nor twinkling stars nor sister planets wAit,
Her softeuing rays like silvery threads descend
While Autumn flowers their sweetest odors blend
Still soaring higher, in bridal robes complete,
She pours richer flood O'er dome and street,
Then waves her royal curls with easy grace,
And floats majestic on her nightly race.

Public Lands in California.

The public land question in California is
matter of much greater importance than is
generally imagined. In his annual report
the Surveyor General estimates the total
area of the State at fraction short O.
l,OO,OoO,0OO acres, ,one-eighteenth of whichf
provided the mineral lands are ever surveyed.
has been granted to California BY the Gene
raj Government for school purposes This
would give as the share of the State. about
100000 acres. But there is not much
probability that all the land could be sold
at any price, as a very large portion is worth
less. Suppose, however, that one-ouarter of
it were sold at one dollar and quarter per
acre, the State would then possess a magnifi.
cent school fund.- Itwoud equal 81, 1915, 900,
a sum sufficient to pay the tuition of all the
children in the State, provided it is consoi-
dated into one fund. TO the above may be
added the $4,000 acres donated for a State
University, and 100000 diverted from inter-
nal Improvements to the School Fund by
our Constitution. Of the swamp and over
flowed land donated to the State by act of
Congress, it is estimated there is as much as
100000 of acres, with 6,4OO granted to
the State for public buildings. 1t will lie
seen by the foregoing figures, that the pub
lie land interest of California is of very
great value to the State.
A bill has passed Congress for the estab-
lishment of three new Land Offices IN the
State-one at Visalia, one at Stockton, and
the other at Humboldt. There are already
23,oOo,oO0 acres Of land surveyed and ready
for market; 100000 of which will | e for
sale between this and next year, and the poll
cy seems to be to throw it into the market,
and which must serve to make our population
less migratory and settle our State Miners,
no doubt, would rather buy land than allow
their gold dust to lie buried in whskey bot
ties. There are thousands of men of all
classes scattered through the State who
would gladly embrace an opportunity to
secure good title to a piece of land and
settle down upon it for life, with their fami-
lies and friends around them.

SoNoRA.-The Washington States says:-
we cannot leave beautiful Sonora TO her
tate. She blocks our way to the Pacific and
we must open the gate. That is the short,
simple and inevitable law Of self preservation,
and we may as we'll declare it, and act upon
the necessity. The entire West needs the best
and most direct path to the Gulf of Califor-
MIA and that lies through Sonora. The need
OF this domain will be so obvious to all ca.
pacities, in very short, time, that the solid
vote of the valley of the Mississippi will mite
IN pressing the demand for its acquisition
In this you will hear no dissenting voice
from Iowa to Texas except where fanaticism
blinds the reason, or God has smitten the
brain with a natural incapacity to reason
from cause to effect"

Another Escape Attempted at the State
Prison

An attempt was made to escape from the
State Prison on Thursday at o'clock p. NJ.
by ten prisoners, headed by Mexican named
Emanuel. They mounted horses and two
Of them got on Dir. Taliaferros horse, which
kicked them off. The others passed on, and
as they passed the guard one was shot through
the body, and, as is supposed, mortally wound
ed. One of the horses was so badly wound
ed that it will be necessary to kill him. See
ing no present prospect of getting away, all
returned but one, and he was soon taken af-
ter being shot in the hand and shoulder. An
overseer, George Lees, beat one of the men
so severely that DR.. Taliaferro was obliged
to threaten him with rife to stop his bru-
tallv.

TELEGRAPH TO SALT LAKE.-We learn
from the Mountain Democrat that a COM
pany has been organized in Placervle under
the name of "the PIacewille, Humboldt, and

are making the necessary arrangements to
commence the work at an early day. The
citizens ofCarson Valley have invested $1,000

GRAIN CRoP-From gentleman who has
recently travelled through the counties of
Yuba, Butte, Tehama, Colusa and portion
of Yoo, we obtain some information of crop
prospects. In Yuba, Suffer and Tehama the
prospects were considered fine for large
yield, but in Cousa the farmers were COM
planning Of the injury caused by the weeks
north wind which was experienced few days
since. 1t is said to have been so penetrating
as to have almost turned wheat from green
to yellow, in some sections. 1t was severely
felt in Colusa, and on Cache and Putah
creeks, in Yolo county, Grain in this coun-
ty also felt its effects very sensibly. In fact
most of the fields of wheat we have seen, are
suffering for rain, and unless more falls, the
prospects for a full crop may be considered as
very materially lessened from what they were
four weeks ago. Sac. Union.
