CATCH THE SUNSHINE.

Sent through clouds, through storm and pillows
Catch the sunshine though it flickers
Through dark and dismal cloud;
Though it falls so faint and feeble
On q heart with sorrow bowed:
Catch it quickly--it is passing
Passing rapidly away;
1t has only come to tell you
There is yet a brighter day.
Catch the sunshine though ris only
One pale, Pickering beam of light;
There is JOY wihin its glimmering,
whispering lis not always night.
Don't be moping, sighing, weeping,
Look up! look up like man!
There's no time TO grope in darkness,
Catch the sunshine when you can.
Catch the sunshine though lfes tcmpes,
May unfurl its chilling blast;
Catch the little hopeful strnggler!
Storms will not forever last!
Don't give up, and say "fOrsaken -
Don't begin to say "I'm sad!"
Look! there comes CLEAN Of sunshine!
Catch II! oh, ii seems so glad
Catch the sunshine don't be gricving
Ger that darksome billow there;
Lifc's sea Of stormy billows,
We must meet them everywhere.
Pass right through them ! do not tarry,
Overcome the heaving tide,

Waiting on the other siIe.

WoSDERfUL PHENOMENON IN CALI
FoRNiA. The Sacramento, Cal, Standard
gives the following particulars of start.
ling phenomena OF nature, which occurred
on Saturday morning, February 2Glh, at
eight O'Clock, on Wet Hill, mining point
situated about four miles east oil Green
Valley, of which he was an eyewitness !:
Michael Colen and Joseph M'Phesney
were engaged working an open cut, with
a view 10 drain the hill, which contained
numerous springs Of water. At the upper
end OF The cut they had obtained perpen.
dicular depth OF about thirty We leet,
when the indications we've Of kind 10 ex.
cite suspicious OF danger. They therefore
removed their tools, and had barely made
their escape, when an eruption Of water
and sand took place, washing violently
through the cut, increasing its width by
the abrasion, and extending around in
every direction, till an area OF FIVE or six
acres were opened into an immense crater,
bclching forth water and sand. Trees
were undermined and falling into the boil
ing vortex, snapped off as il they had been
dried sticks. Continuing its headlong
course, terrific volume OF water decend-
ded into Buena Vista creek, tearing away
the hills, displacing ponderous bouders,
preciptating stumps, logs, trees, and
everything in its path, into The valley be.
low. A field belonging TO Mr.. Kelly, and
under cultivation, was covered in spots 10
the deph Of fifteen or twenty feet. The
ranch Of Mr.. Mccartney, lower down on
the creek, was materially injured /; and
the ranch of Mr.. Taylor. sill farther
down. sustained damages to the extent OF
several thousand dollars. Miners were
driven from their claims, some with loss
of tools, improvements, sluice boxes, &c,
and others TO behold the labor Of years
destroyed, beyond the hope Of profit and
reclamation. The spectacle. notwitb-
standing its serious result, is described
as having been selected.

When daylight slowly leaves the hill,
And evenings gloom tie valleys fill;
When creeping shadows gather round,
And silence wraps the world around
When the last tinges of the sun,
Which now his daily course hath run,
Grow fainter on the western sky,
And fainter still until they die;
When queen Of all the worlds on high,
The moon sits silent in the sky,
And benutcous stars with sparkling light
Hume the quiet hours OF night;
When night DER earth her mantle throws,
And all is hushed in deep repose;
When tumults cease, and cares no more
Pctpcx the soul, and toll is DER -
Dear 10 the heart are hours like these,
When conscience gently whispers peace.
How sweet to sit in pcnsve mood,
And feast the soul Oh mental food!
No moments yet to mortals given,
Can raise the soul so near to heaven
Noh)ur Of all the twenty -four,
Is half so sweet as evenings hour.

EQUAL JUSTICE TO MAN AND WOMAN.
The refined woman recoils with virtu-
Gus scorn from her fallen sister, but often
welcomes him by whom she fell. We
are told that Christ said 10 the woman's
accusers, " He that is without sin among
you, let him cast the first stone !" bu:,
smitten by conscience, they went out one
by one. And who is not in some way
allied to this great guilt The fact Of
common weakness should at least make
us mercifui. II is not just that upon The
woman alone should fall the blot Of
shame. The text is great lesson OF
charity and mercy, and is great lesson
Of Justice also. There is neither justice,
honor, nor delicacy in our modern cus-
tom, which scarcely frowns upon the
guilty man, while pouring out all the
vials of wrath upon the guilty woman.
1t may or may not be true, as some insist.
that this foul cancer in society can never
be eradicated, but we ought at least to
insist upon it that the shame shall be
fairly divided, that the SHINING man shall
be branded AS deeply as the shining
woman. Suppose every guilty man bore
the mark OF shame in his face, in the msr-
ket, or at church. how long would the
evil continue? But the meanness OF man
has thrust the whole shame upon woman.
