YouTu.--Our life's ideal is always filled with
the blood and breath of youth Our finest CON
ceptions of human beauty overmore embrace
youth as their prime element Strength, enthu-
siasm, hope, purity, love--all these when com
bncd and embodied in their most attractive
FORMS arise in our imaginatons as youthful at
tributes. So true is this that in looking forward
to the day when the dust of those who have gono
before us into the land of spirits shall rise, aud
assume the forms they to wear In the celestial
city, there springs up always vision OF their
youth. We expect to meet the totterng father
whose eyes we closed, and whose wasted and fee
bio limbs we composed, as young and fresh aud
strong rs when he bore us to the bhptlsmal font.
There are to be no thin, silvery curls upon tho
brow of the mother, but in some sweet way all
the halowed graces of maternity and the un'
hthomable tenderness of soul disciplined by
sorrow are to be associated nterfused-with
the beauty and the youth Of the bride. lmmor-
tality-twin sister of Eternity--is always young,
and brings no thought of age and decay An
angel with Il wrinkey A chernb with feeble
or a weary wingY We cannot imagine such

REASON FOR WINE DRlNKING.- L. Willis, Ia
his play Of 9 Tortesa the Usurer," makes one OF
the characters say, that " ever since the food wa
ter has had taste OF sinners !" and therefore he
preferred wine. He probably obtained this droll
idea from German poet whose lines we have
seen thus translated
{" Then to the Lord old Noah said,
The water now tastes very bad,
Because there have been drowned therein
All beasts and mankind in their sin
'Ts therefore, Lord, even think,
/ would prefer some other drink"

AGRIcULTURE IN THE MoUNrANs.-The Placer
Courier, published at Forest Ill., in the course OF
pleasant article on the fruit prospects In its
vicinity, thus observes:
ave will here take occasion 10 remark that 30
far as our observation extends, those of our
citizens who have turned their attention to the
cultivation Of the soil instead of delving for gold,
have had greater success, and more generally
made fortunes in few years, than any other class
of our citizens. In fact we have yet to find tho
first man who has opened farm, planted an
archard in the mountains, and attended to his
business for 80 long time as five years, who has
not at least acquired a competency and many
Of them have accumulated fortunes"

THE TWO MAIDENS.
ny HARRIET n. HATHAWAY.


Within u gorgeous chamber wide
A queenly maid sat in her pride;
The walls with tapestries were hung,
And gilded censers incense flung;
From marble basins fountains played.
Where sunbeams mimic ranbows made,
And Parian vases taemed with flowers,
Beauteous as those in Javas bowers
While music rose so sweety soft
1t bore the soul from earth aloft
A velvet robe was round her thrown,
And grded with diamond zone
Amid the depths of her dark hair
Were flashing gems and jewels rare
A queenly grace sat on her brow.
And at her shrine earth's great did bow;
But from them all she turned aside,
From stranger eyes her grief to hide ;
One ieweled hand her forehead prest,
While tears fell on her snowy vest
You read IL in her mournfnl eyes,
She ne'er had found the "Pearl of Price y
Within desolated room
A maiden sat at an old loom,
The hinges creakcd on that low door,
Rough were the walls and bare the lloor
No incense iloatcd on the air,
Nor flowers, nor birds, nor music there,
Save n low, soft and soothing strain,
Once heard you'd long to hear agalu.
Coarse was her garb--no jewels there
Amid the braids Of her brown hair,
Beauty she'd not, but yet her mien
Gentle and loving was. wcen.
Her shuttle all day long she piled,
The household comforts TO provides;
Cheerful she sang - song the while,
Her hours of labor to hcgule
Though not of worldly goods possessed,
Sweet peace had mantled in her breast
Nou read IL i'm her dove like ewes
She'd sought and found the "Pearl of Price. ,

TuE SPIRITUAL CORrsE Story SrouED.-Read-
ers will remember the wonderful story, which
went the entire rounds of the press about year
ago, relating how wife who had been buried
several weeks, appeared IN The flesh, in half
dccomposed state, to her dying husband, in order
to convince him of the truth of spiritualism The
New York Spiritual Telegraph says:
cit was originated probably by an editor OF q
secular paper in Grand Rapids, Mich, and pub
lished in his paper under the following title,
sLLEsGBA.' When it was copied into other
papers, this uncouth title was omitted, and vari-
ous other more respectable titles placed over It,.
We never saw it published under the above title.
But correspondent who is spiritualist, and is
in high official position in the State of Wisconsin,
writes us under date of Nov. 3, 1858, as follows /:
"'ft (the story struck me very forcibly that n
straightforward matter of fact statement, giving
an account of such occurrences would not be
headed with foreign word. | thought the trans
lation of the word would give clue to the origin
of the story, which began to feel was hoax |
knew it was not French, and there my knowledge
of foreign languages rested. | applied to lin
guists. but no Daniel could decipher It, | thought
of il all night, and the next day | went to II
neighboring village and submitted it to the know
inc ones but no one could reveal the secret. |
started to go home, and on the way, when not
thinking about it, it appeared il some one told
me as distinctly as though | heard it with my
ears, (Which did not) Read the word back
ward , then the humbug was transparent to my
mental sight-'A BIC SELL learned after
wards that there were no such persons at Grand
Traverse as were mentioned in the story I"
However, the Ttiegrdpt says that many per
sons have been induced by this story to investi-
gate sprituaism. and have as readily found the
truth as they would if they had not been brought
to il through q lie And so this story, after all,
has done heap of good This is cool, at least

STANDING ny HIS FRIENDs-In the flush time
of Vcksburg, when the phrase hard case"
meant something more then IL does now. Harry
Jenkins was admitted us one of the hardest by
some strange accident Harry found himself ut
church one evening. The sermon being over,
the preacher requested all who were friendly to
religion to rise and hold up their hands. Tho
whole audience apparently were on their feet.
After they were seated again, the minister con
tinucd
"Now, If there IL single one here who desires
to SEQ Satan and bis kingdom prosper, he will
rise and hold up his hand.p
Harry, with some difficulty got to an erect
position, and said
" Had the vote been less unanimous, should
have retained my seat, but make II point OF
honOr never to abandon friend under adverse
circumstances"

THE Times says that about seventy ladies, and
n number of gentlemen, have been badly poisoned

oak,N and so few gentlemen?

THE Shasta HeraH, in II review of the late lie.
compton State nominations, pays Hon. Jno C..
Burch high compliment:
To most Of our readers who are generally
acquainted With him, 1t is needless to say he il
one who, by his integrity of character, moral
worth and energy, and wtbal constant and unde-
waiting adherence to the principles Of the demo
cratic party, has justly become entitled to this
high distinction. As member of the Assembly
and Senate of our State, his labOrs have been
most useful TO him may be attributed the pa
ternity of many of the leading measures Of legls
lation which have retrieved the honor and credit
of the State from financial ruin threatening II a
few years since, and which policy has so pcrcep-
tibly diminished the expenditures of the State
Government. No thievng bill ever found in
Representative or Senator Burch II supporter,
For Mr.. Burch we predict a career in Congress
that will be both honorable to himself and bene-
fetal to his constituency"

HORACE GREELEY recently addressed Repub-
lican meeting at Wyandotte, Kansas, on which
occasion he is reported to have said that the con.
fict between slave labor and free labor would go
on until it penetrated the heart of the cotton
States. The Missouri Republican in a notice OF
his speech, says:
{" lie told the people there assembled what he
had done, and what he intended to do, for Kansas
and all other States and Territories since he came
prominently before the public. He gave the
meeting (what was not reliahed by the delegates
at least) the true Republican doctrine, which is,
that the negro is entitled to the same status as
the white man. The main portion of his remarks
were for the negro"

CRINoLINE.-P Punch has ceased his long TRADE
against crinoline aud hoops After pursuing the
subject with his utmost power OF wit and rdicule
for several years. he gracefully yielded the theme
by publishing an engraving which depicts Queen
Victoria presenting to q dark maiden pcrsonify
inc India, a most extensive skeleton skirt. The
terrible British scofler has for once succumbed.
Not so our own unconqnerable Schnigle Fritz,
whose aversion to crnoine has lately been
strengthened by visit to the metropolis of the
Pacific. lie returns with the most tremendous
argument against the spreading evil that has yot
been advanced. 1t is u fixed conviction with him
that crinoline and hoops are lnimical to matri-
mony Hats kept on the back of the head by
atmospheric pressure have no doubt consigned
many fair maiden to prepetual vlrginity, but
hoops are n thousand times more fatal yet to con
jugal facilities. This conviction he reduces to
the form OF mathematical statement, and de
clares that n wOman's chances of forming mat
rimonial alliance decrease In exact proportion to
the increase Of her periphery. In view of this
startling fact, he refers with praise to entIusl-
astc young woman who while recently gazing at
the wonderful falls of Yo Semitic. from an oevat-
ed point, slipped off her crinoline and cast il u
whirling sacrifice into the lcaping waters. Thus
he counsels, should every young woman divest
herself of the Objectionable article, and throw II
willingly into the flood Of public disapprobaton
