IN MEMORY OF MISS LOUISE TURNER.
Gently and calm as the smooth flowing river,
Bears on its BOSOM the leaf to the sea,
Gcn.lcst winged zephyrs soft waiting 1t onward.
Hath Iifos scrnest measures beon dealt to thee
Beautiful ever hath been Lies short pathway,
Strewn DER with roses scarce dimmed by tearj
Thy cup with the fulIness OF Joy was o'ernowing,
And Llfe's rchest blessings wore lowering ncar,
Bright as the sunbeam III rests on the eloudlet,
Pure as tho dcw-drop that CLEANS from the thorn,
Blithe as the bird that sweeps over tho biIlow,
Fresh ns tho rose bud that opes to the morn,
Stainless and pure ms the vtito diooping lilly,
Cherished and loved, a frail summer flower,
Thus vast thou ever, kind friend, and the truest,
But alas. kc that blossom thourt crushed In On hour
Little wo drcampt as we cazed on those features.
Smiling with happiness, beamIng with hope,
That the angel of death wos ouspreadng his pnions.
To bear to our bosoms the death dealing stroke,
Obi could we have said but sad word Of parting,
Oh, could have breathed but sigh Of farewell,
Ono half of our bleeding hearts unspoken anguish
Had mingled with Joy which no SORROW could que
Bat the calm smiling blows have swept thy bosom
And thy bright head IA ploved in death IN tho tomb
But never from our hearts shall thy memory perish,
Though tho thoughts that It brings shrouleJ In
gloon,
o we miss tho sweet sounds OF thy clea, bird like var
bio,
That fell on our ear IN tones Joyous and shIl,
And the ivory Keys miss The hand that swept oor them,
And brought melody forth with such exquisite skin
OF We miss thy bright Image nj Grosido and table,
Wherever turn fond rcmemberance brings
Thought, that mako tho warm tears gush like streams
from fountain,
And crushed D rokcn hearts with renewed anguish
wiring,
OF time, thou blest healer, thy magical power
May soften sorrows and bind up hearts,
But around us these momorios shall cluster.
As cherished an dear the hope they Impart.

While she thinks ofall the past.

That it knew no other bliss.
Obi those happy, happy momentsl
They but deepen her despair.
For she bends above the cradle,
And her baby is not there!
There are words of comfort spoken.

And the feeling of sad relief,
But ter wavering thoughts will wander
Till they settle on the scene.

That her baby is not there
She sits beside her cradle,

For she sees a blessed vision,
And forgets all earthly woe,
SANITY eyes look down upon her.

The RELIGIONS OF CHISA-The national re-
ligions of China are three, namely the system
of Confucius, that of Taou, and that of Bud
dha. Besides these, there are about a million
of Christians and quite number Of Mahome-
dams The religion of Confucius addresses
itself to the moral nature. The idea of virtue
and vice is inculcated, and the duty OF com
pliance with the precepts of law Bnt it
ignores or but family recognizes the higher
sanctions Of rewards and punishmepts in fu-
tnrc life
Taouism is materialistic. Its ideas of the soul
are physical and chemical 1t regards the
stars as divine, aud it defes hermits and
physicians, magicians and alchemists.
Buddhism differs from both. 1t is common
" said to be form Of materialism and yet it
is eminently subtle, metaphysical and magma
tive 1t denies the existence of matter, re-
pudates the evidence of the senses, and renders
its homage and worship only to abstract ideas
of fictitious impersonatonS.
The religious are so many attempts to meet
the wants of the human mind, and they sup
plement each other, so that one does not abso-
lutely supercede the others The very fact
that this variety of faith can be profeSsed and
and tolerated by the Chinese people, in this
characteristic quietneSS and forbearance, is all
indication of tolerant and religious dispoSl-
tion Of mind.

/ A ROMAN BASoUET-Au the furniture re-
! quisite for the banquet was of costly material
or exquisite workmanship. The number of
courses was gradually increased till it exceed
ed twenty, and after each course everything
which had served for the previous course was
removed and fresh supplied.
| Slaves were especially appointed to each
conyivial function, and those functions were
most minutely defined The most delicious
perfumes embalmcd the banquet-hall. A mas
ter of the ceremonies announced the merits of
the dishes most worthy of special attention
| the claims they possessed to this sort of ova-
ton finally nothing was omitted of nature
to sharpen the appetite, keep alive the atten-
tion and prolong enjoyment.
This luxury had also its foles and absurd-
ties Such were those banquets where the
fishes and birds served counted by thousands,
and those dishes which had no other merit
than that Of having cost on enormous price,
Such rs that dish which consisted of the brains.
f 500 ostriches, and that other of the
tongues of 5000 birds, all of which had
been taught to speak.
After the above the enormous sums spent
by Lucullns at his banquet aud the costs of
the feasts he gave in the hall of Apollo will
he readily understood At these feasts the
etiquette was to exhaust every known means
to fatter the sensuality of the guests
Those glorious days might be revived at our
own time, but We want a Lucullus Let US
suppose some man known to be enormously
rich deSirous of celebrating great political
or financial event, and of giving on the occa-
sion a memorable festival without regard to
expense.
Let us suppose that he engages the services
Of every art to adorn the place of the festival
in every detail that he gives orders that re-
course be had to every means to procure the
rarest provisions and the noblest wines of the
most famed cellars that he has troupe of
the first actors of the day to perform for the
amusement of his guests that the banquet be
eniVened by vocal and instrumental music
performed by the first artists of the day ; that,
as an satr 'acte between dinner AID coffee, a
ballet performed by the prettieSt dancers, shah
enlivea his guests that the evening shall close
with ball at which two hundred women, Sc
lected among the most beautiful, and four hun
dred elegant dancers, shall attend that the
buffet be provided with the most excellent hot
and cold beverages, fresh and iced that at
midnight wisely selected collation. shall i'm
bue new life into all that the servants be
handsome and well-dreSSed, the illumination
perfect, and moreover, that the Amphtryon
should have arranged for every guest to be
sent for and conveyed home without dscom-
fort-the bill on the following day might star
tie even the cashier Of Lucullus.

She will even upbraid her husband for not

the fault is entirely her own. His neighbor
has neat, capable, and industrious wife, and
that makes difference. His wife, on the

THERE'S WORK ENOUGH TO DO.


The black bird early leaves it rest
To meet the smiling morn,
And gather fragments for its nest
From upland, wood and lawn;
The busy bee that wings its way
Mid seats of varied hue,
And every flower would seem to say
There's work enough to do"
The cowslip and the spreading vine,
The daisy in the grass,
The snow drop and the eglantine,
Preach sermons as we pass
The ant within its cavern deep,
Would bid US labor too,
And written upon his tiny heap
" There's work enough to do"
The planets, at their Makers will.
Move onward in their cars,
Nor natures wheel is never still
Progressive as the stars
The leaves that fiutter in the air,
And Summers breezes WOO,
One solemn truth to man declare
There's work enough to do"
Who, then, can sleep, when all around
Is active, fresh and freeI
Shall mau-creation's lord-be found
Less busy than the bee
Our courts and allies are the field,
II men would search them through,
That best the sweets of labor yield,
And work enough to do"
To have a heart for those who weep,
The scottish drunkard win
To rescue all the children, deep
In ignorance and sin
To help the poor, the hungry feed,
To give him coat and shoe;
To see that all can write and read
"Is work enough to do"
The time is sholt-the world is wide,
And much has to be done;
The wondrous earth, and all its pride,
Will vanish with the sun
The moments fly on lightnings' wings,
And life's uncertain, too;
We've none to waste on foolish things
There's work enough to do"

FosrERs BAR, Sept. 10th, 1859.
EDITOR NATIONAL DEMOCRAT Dear Sir
Sluiee robbing seems TO be all the rage in
this vicinity at present. Last night the
sluices belonging to the French Company,
the Illinois Company and the Long Bar Com
pany, at Long Bar No. g. were robbed of
their contents, supposed to contain in the
aggregate some four or five hundred dollars.
The scamps also paid their respects TO our
Assemblyman elect, B. p. Hugg Il Co., who
have a wing dam on the river, a short dis
tance above this Bar. Their sluices were
robbed of about four hundred dollars.
Strong efforts are being made by our citi.
zens to ferret out and bring to justice the
mean and contemplate thieves who go
prowling about the country stealing from the
miner his hard earned gains.
The miners in this section, as a general
thing, are making fair wages for their labor
Owing to the immense deposits of tailings in
the bed of the river, much labor is required
before reaching pay dirt. B.
