From the New York Tribune,
THE DIAMOND WEDDING


0, Love Love Love. what times were thos
Iorg ere the age of bellies aud heaux,
Aud Brussels lace aud sken hose,
when, in the green Araadan close,
You Rrc married Psyche under the rose,
With only the grass for heddiug
Heart TO heart, and hand in hand
You followed Natures sweet command
Roaming lovingly through the land,
Nor sighed for Diamond Wedding.
SO have we read. in classic Ovid,
How Hero watched for her beloved,
lmpassioned youth, l.eander.
She was 'he fairest o' the fair,
Aud wrapt him round with her golden hair, Z
Whenever he landed cold aud bare
With nothing TO eat, aud nothing to wear,
Aud wetter than any gander;
For Love was Love. and better than money
The slyer the theft, the sweeter the honey
Aud kissing was clover, all she world over
Wherever Cupid might wander
So thousands of years have come aud gone.
Aud still the moon is shining on,
Sdl Hymen's torch is lighted;
And hitherto, IN this land Of the West,
Most couples in love have thought il best
To follow the ancient way Of the rest,
And quietly get united
But now, True Love, you're growing old
Bought and sold, with silver and gold,
Like house or horse and carriage
Midnight talks,
Moonlight walks.
The glance Of the eye and sweetheart sigh,
Ane shadowy hannts with no one by,
| do not wish to disparage
Bnt every kiss
Has price for its BLISS
In the modern code Of marriage;
And the compact sweet
Is not complete,
Till the high contracting parties meet
Before the altar of Manmon;
And the bride must be lei 70 q silver bower
Whore pearls and rubies fall in shower
That would frghten Jupiter Ammon.

sheep raising is extensively and proiitably

adapted to the culture of fruit, and especi-
ally to the grape culture. Irrigation would
be needed for this purpose, and might be
had by means of artesian wells which could
work no such mischief here, by draining the
subsoil, as they have in some instances in
California.
These views will appear visionary to many,
but they are based upon facts that no intel

will deny That Western Utah can ever be

She has the capacity, however, to support a
large rural population IN comfort and hap
piness, and will eventually do so. This ca
pacty, in connection with her developing
mineral resources already embracing gold,
silver, copper, lead, and perhaps coal
makes her, as our close neighbor, a most
interesting country, and justlfes the hope
that she may be speedily entitled to enter
the sisterhood of States, thus adding one
more link to the chain that may yet extend
across the continent.

suggestion made that each newspaper office
in the State donate something for the tomb
of their late co-laborer. The suggestion is
good-the plan appropriate. Many Of the
newspaper proprietors and editors of the
State are not overburdened with this world s
goods, but they would willingly contribute
to mark for the eyes Of posterity the spot
where lie the ashes of one who was an honor

COMMON CoMPLAINT.-An able writer in
though the school trustees of that place have
labored faithfully and successfully to clear
the public school of debt and erect fine
schoolhouse, the parents DO rot second their
efforts, but allow iihhoore than four -ffths of
the children to range Tie streets and by
ways froin morning till bed time, and indulge
in all the vicious habits which constitute
tie unduestioned forerunners of a life of dis
sipation, libertinism and crime. The writer
strongly reproves the culpable indifference
of parents to the welfare of their offspring,
and as an instance of it says, that Of over
81, 300 which was Subscribed last towards
building school house, there were but fue
names of men on the list who were inter-
ested in tie Halter as parents. He appeals
to the Christian ladies and mothers to help
better this condition of things, by giving
more attention to the schools and less to the
church and he suggests:
sIt is in vain that oblations are offered to
the Throne of Grace, and that public meet
ings are sanctified by sermons and praises. to
God. while the little children of the flock
are left to feed upon the vices and pollutions
of the world. 1t is in vain that your collec-
tions are taken in behalf Of the heather,
while the souls of civilized beings are NOV
ing about your doors under eorroding influ-
ences, worse than ever disgraced the pristine
condition of the human family. A system
of church. discipline which neglects the in
terests of youthful society is both disgrace
full to man and offensive to God''

The Platform for California.

When Gen. Allen, of State Printing mem
with politics-edited the Marysville News,
he wrote many sensible articles in favor OF
"California Party" He made two converts
to his patriotic opinions, and we submit to
him and them the following platform" as
the basis Of an organization. 1t is from the
Napa Reporter, which paper could no doubt
be won over to the support of the new party,
as web as the PREss It will be observed
that the first plank in the platform offers a
very wide latitude for change without any
danger of subsequent charges of 'incon-
sistency:
we, the people Of California, in view OF
our present duties and condition, do hereby
establish for ourselves the following platform,
which shall remain unalterable until we
change our minds-if not longer.
Resolved, That sound regard for Numbe,
One is the first law of Nature, and that we
will, therefore, no longer trouble ourselves
about the affairs of other States or Terrific
ries, to the neglect of our own interests.
Resolved, That we, as Californians, have
no more to do with the '.infernal nigger ques-
ton" than with the war in China, and that
we leave to all the world and the rest OF
mankind to employ either free or slave la
Dor, or no labor, at ADJUST as they please.
Resolved, That Politicians by trade have
been the bane of this State, and that we will
have nothing more to do with them; that
political parties are hnmbugs, got up by am
bilious leaders for selfish ends, which exist
only by the sufferance of the goed-natured
people, who allow themselves to be arrayed
against each other ON questions foreign to
their welfare.
Resolved, that we have already twice as
many laws as are needed, and three times as
many as can be enforced and that as a
general rule, the least mischievous thing
WHICH our Legislature can do will be to do
nothing.
Resolved, That we have " undiminished
confidence in the fertility of our soil, the
specific gravity and value of gold, the. nour-
ishng qualities Of Beef and bread. and the
necessity of hard work and economy.
Resolved, That we abandon all expecta-
tions of "big strikes" .'sremittances from
home" borrowing ourselves ont of debt, OF
any special ihterposition of Fate or Provi-
dence on our behalf; and that we will work
swith q will" to make California great and
glorious Stately force of dilgent toll and
honest self-denial.
Resolved, That we will do all we can to
''save the Union," as well as our own bacon
by carrying out these principles, and that
we ''invite the cooperation" fall supporters
of the Lecompton and Anti-Lecompton, as
well as other platforms
