4 Tall Mars Troubles,

The Inconvenience of an immOderately
tall stature we have often heard diScoursed
upon by men whose attitude lowered aloft
but never more pathetically than by an aged
bachelor friend of ours, who stands six feet
four in his stocking feet. 1t is to this mel
ancholy . fixed fact this sad insuperable
calamity that overlook him between the
ages of fourteen and twenty-that he attrib-
utes his wretched condition of single bless
edness. Four times has he fallen on his
knees (the ne Plus ultra of humble affection }
and offered himself to as many chosen ones
of his heart. Four times has he been ieer-
ingly refused
The first girl at whose feet he prostrated
himself, gay. laughing roguish little witch
of eighteen-begged him to pick himself
| Immediately up it must be very inconve-
nient, if not even painful she said, for one
who is so long-lcgged to lie in that position
She was proud of the affection of one who
stood so high in the world but being unam-
bilious in her VS., and preferring an hum
BILE obscure station in life to courting the
worlds grzc she respectfully" declined
his proposals.
The second girl, who unluckily, was as
diminutive a Hebe as the first, expressed
much ronical sorrow for her unhappy fate.
but it was plain at glance that they did
not match; and besides she was extremely
sensitive to cold during the winter, and
therefore very partial to small low-posted
rooms, which would, if she married him,
deprive her of her dear husbands society
until the spring.
His third inamorata excused herself by
saying that she thought husbands and wives
ought to walk arm-in-arm in the streets,
which in their case would be manifestly i'm
possible Besides she would be unable to
accept his hand at the marriage ceremony
without mounting a stool-and that would
be so ludcrous.
| The fourth and last Of his dulc ;neas-a
servant girl, to whom in sheer despair he
offered himself as his last chance ere he
verged into the " sere and yellow leaf" of
confirmed dcelibaey-returned him an answer
more cutting than all the previous ones
Making very low courtesy, and putting on
look of extreme humility, she replied,
with malicious affection that she was but a
mean body q poor servant girl and could
not possibly think Of boxing 50 high!
Vocal MACHINERY OF BIRDs.-Itis difficult
to account for SO small a creature as a bird
making a tone as loud as some animals a
thousand times its size: but recent dis
covery has shown that in birds the lungs
have several openings communicating with
corresponding air. bags or cells. which fill
the whole cavity of the body from the neck
downwards, and into which the air passes
aud repasses in the progress of breathing.
This is not all, the very bones are hollow.
from which air-pipes are conveyed to the
most solid parts Of the body. even into the
quilts and feathers. By forcing the air out
of the body they can dart from the great
est height with astonishing velocity. No
doubt, the same machinery forms the basis
of their vocal powers and at once solves the
mystery.

LOVE IN MAY.


Twas evening in the Summer time,
When hedges hung with May,
And woods and welkin rung again
With many pleasant lay;
1 wandered DER the bonny braes,
And through the golden corn,
And saw maiden sit in the sun
Beneath q snow-white thorn.
She was so fair to look upon,
No fairer have known,
Of all the bright and beautiful
On whom the sun hath shone;
Her smile was like a morning beam,
Her voice was like brook
That sings its dimpling melodies
Along the may nook.
Methought it was an angel world,
The birds sang sweeter far,
There was pearl in every flower,
A heaven in every star;
Peace through the shades of silence walked
Yet left me not alone,
For had found my souls delight,
And wooed her for my own.
And all the love could ne'er be told
By silver luting June,
Which murmured near that shady thorn
For many welcome moon;
Bright Summer went and came again,
Ger dale and mountain wide,
To smile with cheerful beams upon
My cottage and my bride.

A correspondent of the Bulletin, writing
from Virginia City, May 18th, makes the fol
lowing statement in relation to three routes
named:
ave have now promises from the promising
community of Placerville Of good wagon trans
port the coming season; but l safely say
this. that those who have relied upon their road
during the winier and spring wiz know how to
appreciate its value, and there viii be hut very
few who will take the risk involved. Those who
have been over this remarkable wagon road
know something about its feasibility.
The Henness Pass and the route by the Big
Trees will probably be the principal routes for
I ans. A popular banker in your city once
. ok . lot Of hams security loan, > See
ond applicant offered similar security for a loan
at subsequent period. Waving his hand over
his face in disgust at the proffer, he cried aloud
"No more hams-no more hams" and | think
now the feeced shipper via Placerville,
crying "No more Placerville, more Placer
ville!" 1t is to be hoped that shippers will
hereafter administer just rebuke to those who
have thus been guilty of the almost intolerable
impositions that have heretofore been praetieed
by all concerned in the nefarious transactions,
and withhold their shipments from Placerville
and Sacramento"

THE CAMEL OK THE PLAISs.-1n a recent let
tsr TO the War Department, Lieut.. Beale writes {:
l have lately tried, cffectually, the comparative
value Of mules and camels, pack animals.
The experiment leaves the palm with camels.
Both trains receiving orders to start at same
time in the morning, the camels invariably arrive
at camp (in distance of twenty-five miles, an
hour and sometimes an hour and twenty minutes
ahead of the mule train; the mules carrying a
burden of two hundred pounds, the camels
packed with four hundred, besides a rider armed
with rifle, revolver and ammunition, and his
bedding laid over the pack to sit The young
camels are great pets in camp, but very mis-
chievous-poking their noses into every bag,
pot and pan about the camp fires. Their great
aim in life at present seems to be to ape the man
nsr and habits of their sires-kneelng down and
growing and complaining, precisely as the old
ones do whenever the train is packed. We have
entirely discontinued the cumbersome Oriental
apparatus used as saddle, and have in its
place one of light, useful and simple construc-
tion.

AWARNISG TO FEMALE SNUFF DIPPERs.--As-
tonishing as it may seem, some very beautiful
and interesting Young ladies, in some parts of
our country, are given to the hideous practice
of snuff-dipping." Think of it, bright rosy
lips, ordinarily very tempting institutions, heav-
lily besmeared with snuff. An exchange says
+" Miss Tennessee Gibson died recently IL Ar
kansas, from the effects of snuf-dipping. She
fell asleep with the mop in her mouth, and
was corpse some hours afterwards. A post

the juice, which was converted inie nicotine a
deadly poison. Her lips, checks and breast

from their camp, and killed three out of the four
by cutting their throats and stabbing them back

4 WISH.
BY GEORGE d. PRENTICE.

In Southern seas, there is an isle,
Where earth and sky forever smile,
Where storms cast not their sombre hue
Upon the welkin's holy blue,
Where clouds of blessed incense rise
From myriad flowers of myriad dyes,
Aud strange bright birds glance tho the bowers
Like winged stars or winged flowers.
Oh, dear one, would it were our lot
To dwell upon that lovely spot,
To stray through woods with blossoms starr
Bright as the dreams of seer or bard,
To hear each others whispered words
Mid the wild notes of tropie birds,
And deem our lives in those bright bowers
One glorious dream of love and flowers.
