TOM HOOD TO HIS WIFE.
Those eyes that worc 30 bright lovo,
Have now DINNER shine
But an thoy'vo lost in light, love,
Was what they gave tO minu:
But still those orbs reflect, love,
The beams Of former hours,
That ripenod an my joys, my lovo,
Aud tinted all my nowcrai
Those locks were brown TO see, l0vo,
That now are turned TO grey;
But the years worc spent with m3i love-
That stole thoir hue away.
Thy locks no longer share, love-
The golden glow of nooui
But I've seen the world look tair, my love-
Whcusilvcrod by the mconl . .
That brow was smooth and fair, love,
That looks 30 shaded now,
But for me it bore the care, love,
That spoiled a bOnny brow.
And though no longor thor8, love-
The gloss &c had OF yOro,
Still memory looks and dotoH my love,
Where hope admired before,
REVENGE. '. A
For Time at last sets OH things even;
And 81 do but watch the hour
There never yet was human power
Who could evade, 20 uniorgiyeu,
The patient search aud vigil long,
Of him who treasures mp q wrong.

God has written on the flowers that
sweeten the air, upon the breeze that
rocks the flowers upon the stem, upon
the rain drops that refresh the sprig of
moss that lifts its head in the desert
upon its deep chambers-upon every
penciled sheet that sleeps in the cavern
Of the deep, no less than upon the
mighty sun that warns and cheers mil
lions Of creatures that live in it's light
upon oil his works He has written, "No
one liveth for himself"

To bless God for mercies, is the way
to increase them; to bless him for mise

that which is patiently endured.

A PALPABLE TRUTH.-In Alexander
Humilton's first political speech occurs
these memorable words "Tho sacred
rightslof man are not to belrummaged for
among old parchments or musty records;
they are written as with sunbeam in
the whole volume of human nature, by

never be erased or obstructcd by mortal

ExTRAoRDINARY DEFENCE OF GRIM
INAL.-There is man named Lottery,
on trial in Richmond, Va, for the muir
der of his sister-in-law, because she re-
fused to elope with him. The line of
defence to be adopted by the counsel
for the prisoner may be inferred from
the testimony, and leads to the belief
that an effort will be made to sustain,
by argument, the proposition that she
did not die from the wound, but in con-
sequence of smelling chloroform to al.
leviate the intense pain caused by the
bullet which entered her body. The in
genuity of legal gentlemen sometimes
tends to strange conclusions on their
part. The Examiner very pertinently
asks: awe wonder if the deceased
would have thought of chloroform had
she not been shot?'

TEACH THE CHILDREN TO PLANT
An excellent and distinguished horticul-
turist, in closing his inaugural address,
once said: encourage your children to
love the country, where they breathe the
pure air and drink pure water. In
struct them to cultivate the SOIL to i'm
prove it with the aid of science; let them
read and study the cheap publications
on the subject printed in this city and
latitude-for many works on fruits and
vegetables published in the north are
not as well suited to our rich soil and
climate. Show them the beauties and
wonders they can produce by attention
and industry. BY impressing all this
on their young minds, you and they
will receive a rich reward Of undisturb
cd happiness, and that blessing which
health and strength bring with them"

ought to animate the citizens Of every
part of the Union towards those of all
other sections
Sir, the events that are taking place
around us arc indeed startling Thoy
challenge the public mind, and appeal
to the public Judgment; they thrill the
public nerve as electricity imports
tremulous motion to the telegraphic
wire. Itis o period when Oh good men
should unite in applying the proper
remedy to secure peace and harmony to
the country. Is this to be done by any
of us, by remaining associated with
those who have been instrumental in
producing these results, and who now
justify them? 1 do not see my duty
lying in that direction.
L have, while temporarily acquies-
cling, stated here and at home, every.
where, uniformly, that wheu the tests of
those measures were applied 90 mo as
one of party fidelity, [ would sunder
them as aaE is suudered at the touch
of fire. do it now. ...... .. .
The occasion involves a question of
moral duty; and selr.respcct allows me
no other line Of duty but to follow the
dictates of my own Judgment and the
impulses of my own heart. A just
man may cheerfully submit to many
enforced humiliatiOns; but a self-de.
graded man has ceased to be worthy
to be deemed a man at all.
Sir, what has the recent Democrat
ic Convention at Cincinnati done? Il
has endorsed the measure I have con
demned, and has sanctioned its dcstruc.
| tive and ruinOus effects 1t has done
more-vastly more. That principle OF
policy of territorial sovereignty whicl
once had, and which I suppose now
has, its advocates within these walls
is stricken down; and there is an ab
solute denial of it in the resolutions OF
the Convention-if I can draw righ
conclusions denial equally to Con
gress, aud even to the people of th
Territories Of the right to settle th
question of slavery therein On tn
contrary, the Convention has actuall
incorporated into the platform Of tn
| Democratic party that doctrine which
only a few years ago, met nothing bu
ridicule and contempt, here and else
where-namely: that the flag Of tn
Federal Union, under the Constitution
of the United States, carries SLAYER
wherever it floats. If this balcful prin
ciplo be true, then that national cd
which inspires US always as on a battle
field should be rewritten by Drake, an

can be gay at all.

PRESENT CONDITION oFSPAIN.-Spain
has long been looked upon as a used
up country. Statistical returns, howev-
er, of the population, industry and prop
erty of the country, tella different sto-
ry. Spain is about twice the size of the
State of Missouri, but on this area it has
nearly fifteen times the population of
that State-nearly fifteen and half
millions. There ore four cities in the
kingdom, whose population exceeds lO0,-
600; Madrid being the largest, and num-
bering 281.17O. There are FIVE cities
having a population ranging from 49,
600 to 10000.
Spain's imports grew from 533, 600, 600
in 1856 to S77,OOO,OOO in 1859. There
arc 10 Spain 43l English miles of nav
igable canals, 524 miles of railroads fn-
ished, $40 miles in progress, and 1850
miles more authorized There are also
1888 miles of telegraph lines in opera
ton. The public revenue Of Spain for
1859 was estimated at Sl22, 100000, the
total expenditures Sl23, 600, 600. About
100000 of her children arc in schools
The number of religious functiouaries
has been reduced. A hundred years
ago they were estimated at near 2l0,
600, or one to forty-three Of population
Now they count about $4,000, or one tC

THE ALCHEMY OF VICE.-The Illinois
Temperance Journal brings to mind the story
Of the Italian artist who meeting with a child
of exquisite beauty, wished to preserve its
features, for fear he should never see such
loveinessagain So epainted the charming
face upon canvas and hung it upon the
walls of his studio. In his somberest hours
that sweet, gentle countenance was like an
angel of light to him. Its presence filled his
soul with the purcst aspirations. 'If ever
fnd," he said, "a perfect contrast to this
beautiful face, | will paint that also, and
hang them side by side, an ideal of Heaven
and He'll" Years passed. At length in a
distant land, he saw, in prison he visited,
the most hideous object he ever gazed
upon-a fierce, haggard fend, with glarng
eyes and checks deeply furrowed with lust
and crime The artist remembered his vow,
and Immediately painted a picture of this
loathsome form, to hang beside the portrait
of this lovely boy. The contrast was perfect.
His dream was realized. The two poles of
the moral universe were before him. What
was the surprise of this artist, when, on
inquiring into the history Of this horrid
wretch, to find that he was once that lovely
little boy. Both of these pictures, the angel
and the demon of the soul, now hang side by
side in Tuscan gallery.

MERE RUMoRs.-Several exaggerated, and
a number of totally erroneous stories, have been
ahoat concerning the devastation wrought by
'the gale on Thursday and Friday of last week.
The damage sustained by the miners was princi-
pally confined to their branch fumes, and other
improvements Of temporary character. The
Magenta Ruine was not destroyed, as reported !;
but smaller one, located directly under it, was
partly demolished which, doubtless, gave rise to
the rumor. Two frame buildings were blown
down at Lake City; one occupied by Mr.. Utting,
as billiard saloon, and the other unfinished
frame belonging to Frenchman. Beyond these,
no very serious loss-if we except the accidental
killing of one or more persons-has been ascer-
tanned to have occurred.

ANOTHER Big BLAsT.-Forty-se more
kegs of powder were let off in a subterranean
passage of the Eureka claims, on Thursday af-
tcrnoon, at depth of hundred and forty feet
from the surface. An eyewitness describes the
effect as grand. The earth rose eight or ten feet
in the shape Of a mound, with an irregular cir
cular base of thirty or forty feet circumference,
through which column of fame shot upward,
when the mound disappeared, and the spot be-
came dcnsely covered with smoke. When this
cleared away, immense gap or cavity was yis-
iblc-showing that the object intended to be ac-
complished, viz. that of shattering large quanti-
ties of adhesive gravel and earth-was successful
10 the fullest extent anticipated or desired by the
Company.

THE TERRIBLE ACCIDEfT.-Iast week Just
as our paper was going to press, we heard of a
terrible accident which occurred in the tunnel of
the Yuba Mining Company, on Manzanita Hill,
in this neighborhood, from the premature explo-
sion of blast, but were not prepared to give
names or particulars. We have since seen one
of the unfortunate men injured, who furnished
us with the details omitted.
About 10 o'clock on Friday morning, our in
formant, Henry Harper, and his co-laborer,
Richard Dodge, were about to complete the
tamping for a blast when the explosion occurred.
They are entirely ignorant of what could have
produced it, as they were using plentiful guam
tity of water, and worked with even unusual
Harper had the little finger of the right hand
blown off; also the thumb and two first fingers Of
the left hand, above the second joints. He also
received severe wound in the left thigh, and
was otherwise manned and bruised in such
general manner as to lay him up for some time.
Dodge had his only eye destroyed by fine piece
of gravel, which pierced through the ball. He
lost the sight of the other eye about year ago,
while chopping wood, stick flying up and pro-
ducing that unfortunate injury. This, we under
stand, is tie fifth time that he has been blown up
by premature explosions; but on none of the
previous occasions did he sustain any serious
personal damage. Heis now receiving medical
attention at the Halfway House, between San
Juan and Sebastopol. Mr.. Harper lies at the
Sierra Nevada Hotel, and is kindly cared for.
DIPTHERIA-AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.-That
terrible disease, the Dptheria, more commonly
known as the putrid sore throat, is just now pre-
vailing to an alarming extent in several noun
tain localities. The family of Mr.. John Wood
field, of French Corral, in this county, has been
visited in most melancholy and affective form.
On the 9th of the present month, Emma Wood
field, aged six years, died. On the 10th, Fanny
i. Woodfeld, aged eight years, ALSO died; and on
the 18th, James Woodfeld aged three years,
went to bis long sleep with his two little sisters
all stricken down with the same disease.
We understand that three children of Mr.. J.
B. Murphy, of French Corral, are now lying Sc
riously i'll with this malady. On the outside of
to-days paper, we publish what is said to be a
certain cure for Diptheria.
