Inc S0mbre houses hearsed With planes ot
smoke.
Their attitude and aspect were the same
Alike their features and tn eir robes Of white:
But one was crowned with amarauth, as with
flame.
And one with asphodcls, like flakes of light
saw them pause on their celestial way:
Then said /. with deep fear ard doubt
oppressed
Beat not 50 loud, my heart lest thou be,rav
The place where thy beloved are Mt rest
And ne who wore the crown Of asrhodels.
Descending at my door, began to knock.
And my soal sank within me, q in wells
The waters siuk before an earthquake 5
shock
| recognised the nameless agony.
The terror and the tremor and the pain,
That oft before had filed or haunted me.
And now returned with ;hree-fold strength
asain,
The door I opened to my heavenly guest,
And listened, for | thought l heard God :
voice;
And, knowing whatsoe'er lie sent was best,
Dared neither to lament nor to rejoice
Then with a smile that filed the house with
light
"My errand is not Death, but Life. :" he sail :
And ere answered, passing out of sight,
On his celestial embassy he sped.
'Twa. at thy door, 0 friend and not at mine
The angel with the amaranthine wreath
Pansing. descended and with a voice divine
Whispered a word that had a sound ike
Death
Then f-l upon the house a sudden gloom.
! shadow on those features fair and thin
And softly from the hpshed and darkened room.
Two angels issued where only one went in
All is of God # he but wave his hand,
The msts collect, the rain falls thick and
loud.
TILL with smile Of light IN sea and land.
Lo! lie looks back from the departing cloud
Angels of Life and Death are his;
Withou, HIS leave they pass no threshold
o'er;
Who, then would wish or dare, disbelieving
this.
Against His messengers to shut the door?

INVALID from seeking medical relief - the
card of DIR. L. j. CZAPKaY, to be found in
another column, indicates where to obtain rela-
BILE and competent physician. 1t is seldom that
we are called upon to bear testimony in favor Of
the skill of any physician, but a sense Of duty as
we'll as Justice demands that we should not pass
DR.. Czapkay by, without something more than
mere mention. Unlike the greater portion Of
those who thrust themselves and their nostrums
before the public, whose practices are empirical,
Dr Czapkay is gentleman Of rare medical and
scientific attainments, having held the position of
chief surgeon of the liberatng army during the
late Hungarian Revolution, and is possessed of
all the requisite experience and skill for the sue
cessfu practice of his profession. 1t is to the care
and advice of such physician we would recon-
mend all suffering from the effects of sexual or
private diseases feeling assured that in all such
complaints, whether arising from infection, in
discretion, self-abuse or loss of virility, he can
guarantee from his extensive practice, speedy
and permanent cure. To those suffering from the
effects of physical and mental debility, we would
say, let common sense take the place of false mo-
desty, and seek such advice as will save you from
an .untimely grave, and lead you back again to
pristine health, consult Dr. Czapkay, whom we
cheerfuly endorse as a skilliul and tried physi-
clan. CAPABLE of coping with and successfully
eracicatinc those self inflicted mseries, the evils
of empirical practices and all diseases of q semi
nal nature. Dr. Czapkay's rooms are on Sacra-

The Gold of California Called a Curse

The Boston Traveller remarks
The soil Of gold regions is generally poor.
The men who seek such regions 90 to them
not as emigrants, but as adventures. So
was it with the conquerors of Mexico, so il Is
with the multitude who flock to California.
They 90 and come as eagles hasten to the
prey, AMI fly back to their nests in the noun
tains after their appetite is gorged and they
have filled their talons with something to
feed their young. This is especially the
case with the leading men of business. They
feel little responsibility for their conduct and
less for the good of society. They have no
home there; tomorrow they will be off for
ever with their earnings. What care they
for the fate of those who are to follow them
to California, or for those who have become
permanent residents there? Most of the
men that depart, and most of the money
that leaves California never returns. The
great sums reported from month to month,
as forwarded by the steamers from Caifor-
nia are clear drain from the State, and so
far as she is concerned might as we'll be
poured into the sea- or sunk in its depths, as
the treasure Of the Central America was.
Thus she is drained to enrich other States.
The riches of Mexico made her poor. The
gold of California is the source Of her
wretchedness. She has strong heart and
rich blood, but the harpes, the vampires, are
sucking that blood.
Unfortunately for California there is too
much truth in the above extract.

A VENERABLE GoosE.-A correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from
Barley Sheaf, Ohio, tells this goose story:
There is goose in this neighborhood that
has seen the frosts of eighty-three winters,
owned by one Mr. Schomp This goose, fa-
nous for its great age, has been kept in the
Schomp family ever since the revolutionary
war. When the news came to the people of
Reddneton township, Hunterdon county, N.
j., that the war was ended, and that they
were a free people, they collected for gen
eral drinking jolIification. There being
some cause for general rush into the yard,
where there were four geese, three of these
were killed, and the one that escaped is that
Of which | now speak. Two years ago she
laid four eggs, which she hatched. The
young family are living and doing we'll. l
was informed by Mr.. Schomp, who has own
ed the goose for the last fifty years, of these
facts.

| TO the Editors Of the Union:
Your correspondent 49," seems disposed to take time
by the foreock in tapping the government water pipes
Perhaps If he undertakes the task he may find himself
amenabe both to municipal and statute law for he ought
to know that stringent cnacments have been made both
by Congress and the city authorities against opening the
streets for any purpose without authority previously OBJ
tanned 1t will do to argue that because the original
appropriation looked to supplying the city with abun
dance of pure water therefore to be without money
and without price Such at any rate not the opin
ion of Capt Megs the able superintendent of the work.
for in his report to the government submitting the plan
he remarks after speaking of the immense impetus given
to city by the construction of proper system of water
works. the Diminished rates of Insurance. the increased
comfort of living, rise in the value of property
and demand for houses and lots which more than com
pensate the inhabitants for any increased taxation Thus
1t would be in Washington This extract shows con-
cusvely that in the opinion Of the engineer who plnn
ned the work. the inhabitants who enjoyed the of the
water to be taxed for it, The idea prevails In
all his public concentrations the subject but partic-
ulary in his report upon the Washington Aqueduct
made in answer to resolution of the House of Repre-
sentatives of ApT 1856 After speaking of the main
pipes proposed to be laid TO the principal public epart
ments and localities he adds They all that prop
ery should be laid by the United States For the dsr

with these will be laid by the city ITSELF which it is sup

Without such authority in some form our citizens cannot

AS well might the doctrine of squnttcr sovereignty be
