INTERESTING DEcIsIoN.-The Standard gives
this abstract of a recent decision given by
Supreme Judge Baldwin in the case ofBurge
VS.. Smith.
Plaintiff took up portion Of public land,
protesting to enter it under the statute, as
seminary land. The land was mineral land,
and defendant went upon it for mining pur-
poses. Neither the Act of the legislature,
nor the Act of Congress, allows mineral
lands to be appropriated in the manner
claimed by the Plaintiff. "To hold" says
Justice Baldwin," "that a mere entry upon
a tract of public mineral land of any given
extent, gives right to exclusive occupancy
and enjoyment to one man, would be to hold
that the whole mineral region might be APP
propriated and monopelized hy few men
a doctrine that would effectually exclude the
mass of people of the State from partici-
patton in the Mines

that the ladies ofthe United States subscribe
to the relief of Lady Franklin who has spent
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, her
entire means, in searching for her husband
among northern ice. Such action on the
part of the ladies would be a fitting testi-
monial to female constancy and heroism.

GIVE ME A SIGN.
DY cossEr ou1RLs.
"EAeu'y yfngaces labunter ami"
Almighty Godl my years are as the dust,
Borne on the wings of fieeting time;
Give me some sign. that may kncw that I
Have an immortal mind
The face of Nature years have rent with seams,
The footsteps of the yes pass like dreans;
Are there behind this visible decay
Fair and unfadiIg scenes?
I gaze EIpon the vast expanse above,
search among the glowing orbs of night;
fall before the glory Of the sun,
And cry aloud for ligiIrl
The promises of sacred lore are naught,
Polluted by the touch of human hands,
O, if some height untrod the soul ght reach,
And see ImAortal Lands!
Pulse unto pulse with Nature Ihave stood,
And spanned with thought her universal t1reb
But Reason SCOTS at bending Faith. and says,
'sPoor fool l!-show me thy God
Fral as the potter's clay l tremble on
Towards the future, shoreless all, and dark,
Where Death in revery forever broods
Over the silent heart.
Upon the mountain tops of thought Ipause,
Aad see the lights of life go out below;
To the Invisible l raisemy bands,
And bow my head in woe.
I.yearn, long, pray, and yet in vain;
Faith finds no resting place except desire:
o God O God my years are as the dust,
Borne on the whiryind's fire.

PERFUMERY.-A writer in the Tuolumne
Courier, who discourses charmingly on the
"4Esthetics of Gardening" makes this re-
mark:
@The manufacture, or art of perfumery is
a branch of industry-let US think of its
utility as we please-which probably far ex-
ceeds the general idea of its importance
A few years ago it was estimated that in
Europe and British India alone, the annual
consumption of odoriferous essences, bear
ing a variety of names, such as altar OF
rosesy essence of lavender, eau de cologne,
&C. was but little short of two hundred
thousand gallons"
