The man who seeks wealth with
no definite idea of employing it for
an unsel6sh purpose, is a slave.
Wealth is the Moloch to which he sac
ri6ces nearly all that is noble in his
nature. And for what, after all, does
he do this? Because it will bring
him friends, home, and the comforts
which make home pleasant +? Be-
cause wealth will proiong the echo Of
his name a few days longer than his
body remains a5ove the ground !? No,
for if he secures these it is by other
means than excessive wealth. 1t il
the poor man of a kind heart, his
hand gently touching all little heads
as he passes along. after whom all
the dogs and children fondly run,
and adults cast good-natured glances.
It is tho doer of useful deeds that is
gratefully remembered after death,
in spite of what, in moods of misan-
thropy, or by disappointed men may
be said to the contrary. Many a
little hut BY the roads de now shelters
humble benefactors who will be en-
balmed in grateful hearts through
many generations after names now
great ''on change" are forgotten.
If a man dies old and rich, it is pre-
sumptive evidence against him. One
may have the misfortune to die be-
fore he was able to expend usefully
the riches which were accumulated
with laudable motive; and the pos
sibility of this is his sufficient de-
fence. But to die wealthy octoge-
narian-whatd defence does this admit?
Some one observed when John Quin-
cy Adams paid the debt of nature,
that nothing could be urged to his
disadvantage, except that he died
worth some thousands Of dollars. So
it is that, at the all>swallowing grave,
the glitter of a mans riches will OBJ
scure for time the miIder radiance
Of his good deeds; but these will
blossom for bin above the sod, and
attract reverent feet to the spot where
he lies, long after his wealth is fOrsiv-
en- him.

% Where Truth may be found is
thus quantity told by Charles Lamb
in a Curious Fragment" which he
wrote in imitation Of Robert Burton !:
eff Very Truth be extant indeed
on earth, as some hold she it is which
actuates mems deeds, purposes, ye
may in vain look for her in the learn
ed universities, halls, colleges. Truth
is no doctresse, she takes no degrees
at Paris or Oxford, amongst great
clerks, disputants, subtle Aristotles,
men no dosi ingsnii, able to take 1ully
by the chm, but oftentimes to such an
ono as myself, an ldiota or common
person, no great things, melancho-
lizing in woods where waters are,
quiet places by rivers, fountains !;
whereas the silly man expecting no
such matter, thinketh only how best
TO delectate and refresh his mind con-
tinually with Nature, her pleasant
scenes, woods, waterfalls, or Art, her
stately gardens, parks, terraces, Bel
videres, on a sudden the goddess her
self Truth has appeared, with a shi-
ming light, and sparkling counte-
nance, 80 as ye may not be- able
lightly to resist her."

"SHYLocK" AND THE Jews
Shakespeare wrote for royalty, nobil-
ity and the times. A desire to please
the reigning sovereigns induced the
perversion of historical characters
which, thus, undeservedly calumnia-
ted by the genius of the poet, have
descended to posterity as objects of
aversion. Thus have we been taught
to hate Macbeth. Richard III, and
"Shylock,' the Jew, as the repre-
sentative of his people, notwithstand>
ing profane and sacred writer's teach
that "Shylock" is monstrocity of
applicability, duplicity and attrocious
revenge, and not a fair exponent Of
his nationality. True. his people had
been prosecuted and driven out from
among nations, like Cain, with the
curse of stupendous murder upon
them; but in estimating the Jewish
character, we must remember Jona-
than, and David, and Isaiah, who,
whatever may be doubted of the To-
spiration of the scriptures, are be-
lieved to be historical personages.-
We must not forget the more than
brothers fidelity of the first, the
forbearance of David when he found
his prosecutor asleep and spared his
life, nor the Godlike prophecies Of the
Hebrew poet Isaiah, than whom no
mortal has uttered more sublime
sentences Of poetic inspiration.

ANGELS IN OUR PATHWAY Over
on yonder hillside, where the grey
slope stretches off from the neat white
school toward the southern
sun, the happy shouts Of twenty or
thirty little children at play, greet the
passer's ear. They are the violets
and primrose brood Of human life, who
catch their youthful impulses from
the Frightening skies aud gentle
breezes of the spring. Everywhere
they are welcome; in all chimes they
wear the same glowing, hopeful, gol-
den colors of eye and soul; but here,
in the vanishing deserts, and still
brooding solitudes of these mountains,
where manhood has so long been sep
arated from the joys of family and
homo, they are indeed, angels in our
pathway.-San Andreas Indepen-
dent.

The aggregate length of these routes

country which was unknown to the
world within our own memory.

OLD LETTERS.
BIZ PAUL PUBL.

Came they from sinner or from saint,
Cast them in, for the fire is faint;
The fire is faint, and the frost is strong,
And these old letters have lived too long.
How welcome once it matters not:
Their worth away with time has sped,
The love is over. the hope is dead,
And the old friend has forgot.
[Harpers' Weekly.
~Cast them in i"-I will first look DER
Those dearer pages than classic lore,
And scan the feelings which moved my heart
As earnestly vowed ne'er would part
With these letters from friends of yore:
The package islarge, will hasten through,
As one hurried glance at each will do
"Then, sold letters" your time is DER.
"Cast them inl" whose are these that raiser
All yesl from friend of my school-boy days,
Whose laughing black eyes in my thoughts see
As in school they beamed with mischievcus glee
When the masters back was turned.
IT'S long since he wrote But line would be
Sufficient to kindle his love for me
As brightly as ever it burned.
These lines were traced by fathers hand
To bis wandering son in a distant land,
And I ween his heart WAS filled with care
As he penned-" Beware of the tempter's snare
Stand firm when'the trial is near!"
Though oft have yielded and wantonly stray ed
Yet as often my steps has this talisman stayed
As turned with apenitent tear.
These few long hid in a corner Law
Though calmly rest. as read to-day,
Yet memories sad with these sheets entwine -
The heart that inspired them mine,
And I dreamed such love wonld last I
But, no matter-tis past j: the dream is Ger:
have wakened. and now shall dream no more
This vision of the past
How sweet these lines from my sister dear,
Bright gushings of love from fountain clear,
As she pleads with me fondly--" Cease to roam,
For anxious hearts now await thee at homo
In their circle to take thy part;
Bring poverty. sickness wealth or fame,-
Bring, better than ALL a stainless name,
And loving and trusting heart.'
Be still my heart! IT'S the spell of years,
And purest love that bringeth these tears.
Dear mother. perhaps thine eyes were dim,
And shook thy hand while writing to him
Thou callest "My frst-born boy!'
Though blotted the page. all thy wealth of love
Shines clear in each line as the stars above,
And it yields me the purest joy.
"Cast them in" have travelled long and far,
And these letters have been my Northern star;
When weary how oft my head I've ressed
On these" old letters - to seek for rest
And to dream of the old time past -
And I'll" cast them in''-when this heart is colo
As the granite cliffs of these mountains old
WhenSthey feel the wintry blast.

Pure LIoUoRs.-A sensible writer
in the Nevada National scouts at the
idea that any kind of alcoholic bever.
age is good for man. He says:
Nothing is more common among
people than to talk about pure liquors.
They pirate about them, and commend
them, as if they were not only harm
less, but the very elixir of life. Pure
wine, pure brandy, pure whiskey.
=" Oh, drink as much as you please,
it won't hurt you" how often do
you hear it said.
''The truth of it is, there is no sort
of alcoholic drink, whether wine,
brandy, or whiskey, but that deranges
the system, disorders the vital action
to . greater or less degree, induces
disease, abridges happiness, and shor-
tens life. "Pure liquors p Why,
you had just as we'll talk about pure
arsenic, or pure hydrocyanic acid.
Liquors, pure as they can be made
Of their different varieties, drank daily
in quantities sufficient to make a de.
cided stimulant impression on the an
imal economy, and even in quantities
much less, We might venture to say
is just as sure to derange the physia
cal powers, sap the energies of the
intellect, weaken the body, shorten
the life, and degenerate man and his
species, as stone thrown in the air
is to fall to the earth again.
!" There is too much tipping in this
country among all classes, and unless
stopped, the species must suffer degs
radiation from it, to greater or less
degree.
Good, plain, wholesome diet, active
exercise, a noblo purpose, an honest
heart, a humane disposition, and
clear conscience, are the principal
conditions Of health and happiness on
earth, and 60 q great way towards
preparing man for Heaven. The
purest liquors are unnecessary. They
are but an apology for "gentlemanly"
tipping. Let them alone. Save your
money, your body interrupted, and
discharge your duty, like man and
a philosopher, to yourself, your spe.
cies, your country and your God" M

A Pioneer Gone.

Thomas O. Larkin died on the 9th
ult., at San Francisco. He came to
this country from Boston in 1882,
before Suffer arrived here, married,
it is said, the first American female
who ever settled in California, and
the children born of this marriage
were the first Americans of unmixed
blood born in California.
For about twelve years he engaged
in commercial pursuits at Monterey,
carrying on a considerable export
trade. He was the first and last
American consul in this country, and
occupied other public positions.
When Fremont arrived here in
1916, Larkin took very prominent
and active part in securing California
to the possession of our government.
He subsequently sent east very full
and reliable accounts of the gold dis
covery, and was one of the formers
OF our State Constitution. Recently
he has not been known to the MAORI
ty of CALIFORNIA; except as a large
land holder. The Sacramento Union,
from which paper these particulars
are gathered, remarks that +" his hon.
orable efforts in aid Of our fag, and in
planting the first of our institutions
on this coast, will be remember
ed when his large possessions of land
and his singleness of devotion III later
years to the accumulation of wealth
shall have been forgotten" But this
last sentence is very unjust if we may
believe the editor of the Evensng
Telegram, who seems to have known
Mr.. Larkin, and pays the following
tribute to his worth:
always prompt and upright in
his dealings with the world&always
kind to the unfortunate@always hon.
est in purpose4-always good and pure
was Thomas O. Larkin. His roof,
it is true covered the head of very
rich man ; yet, beneath it also rested
in peace and comfort, the noble soul.
Indeed, the strange thought has often
occurred to US that Mr.. Larkin lived
like one who knew there was some
thing higher and better to labor for
than dollars and cents"
