BY A PLoWMAN.


Most young men who are acquiring the rud-
imentary knowledge which is designed to quail
lfy them Tor the honorable position OF merchants,
have their evenings which are generally spent
IN pleasure and amusement. Some have their
mothers and sisters, with whom they enjoy the
refined pleasures of the social circle, during
these 50 called eddie Hours;' but, with the
majority OF them, sach is not the case. They
are seEt up from the country TO the metropolis,
either, because the father is ambitious that one
member OF his family, at least, should occupy a
respectable position in the worlt or because,
from Ill health or defective physical organIza-
ton, they are incapacItated form the labors OF
the farm. Being denied entrance into refined
female society, for they are yet only embryo
business men, and the ladies do not, generally,
assume the duties assigned TO the clerical pro-
lession viz, that of saving soulsl they are thus
thrown upon their resources for the means Of
passing ava, their idle time. It IS not, there
tar away from home, from mothers tencer
care and warning voice, and sisters soicliude,
should, occasionally, form intimacies which
lead TO evil.
Robert Baldwin having almost completed his
aovltiate, and looking forward to the Jew months
which were yet to intervene before he should
return, full-Redged merchant, 10 his fathers
residence and the lovely Constance to whom he
had long since been betrothed, was called upon
to spend his evenings, and sometimes nights, by
the bedside of sick iellow-clerk, who had been
his intimate friend during the whole period of
his pupilage. Occasionally, other young clerks
would share his labors IN behalf OF their mutu-
al friend.

THE FIRST SNOWFALL,

These lines were penred by James Russell Low
.lT though not included in the latest editions of his
works. Aside from their sweetness and beauty,
here 10 be sort of appropriateness in theil
publication at this time.
The snow had begun in the cleaning,
And busily all the night
Had been heaPing fields and highway,
With silence deep and white.
Every pine, and fur, and hemlock,
Wore ermlne too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm tree
Was fringed inch-deep with pearl.
From sheds, now rooted with Carrara,
Came Chanticeer's muifled crow,
The still rails were softened to swans down
And still huttered down the now.
stood and watched by the window
The noseless work OF the sky,
And the sudden furries of snow-birds,
Like brown leaves whirling by,
thought Of mound in sweet Auburn,
Where a little head-stone stood,
How the flakes were folding it gently,
rs did robins the babes in the wood,
Up spake our little Mabel,
Saying "father who makes the snow 2''
And told her of the good Ar Father
Who cares for us all below.
Again looked at the. snowfall,
And | thought of the leaden sky
That arched our hrst great sorrow,
When the mound was heaped so high.
remember che gradual patience
That fell frow tn e cloud like snow,
Flake by flake, healing and hiding
The scar of that deep-stabbed woe.
Andagain to the child ! whispered,
"The snow that husheth all,
Darling, the Merciul Father -.
Alone can make it faIl.''
Then, with eyes that saw not, kissed her,
And she, kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister,
Folded close under deep'ning snow.

Horace Greeley is lecturing upon the sub
ject of the Pacific Railroad, and never omits
an opportunity to praise California In Phil
adelphia, he said that the naked fact that
California, though but ten years old, pro-
duced enough from her soil to feed her six
hundred thousand inhabitants, was sufficient
in itself to prove her soil one of the most
fertile in the world. 1t was land sunny
and lovely as Italy, and destined in the fn-
ture to hold twenty or thirty millions of our
race. Yes, California was by nature of rich
and surprising beauty, and in this was yet
to be improved, and he hoped her moral and
intellectual greatness would not prove to be
less remarkable.

persons. when they wish to attract the wait
ers attention, call him steward" a compli-
ment Mr.. Steward always acknowledges by
serving the polite gentleman with unwonted
alacrity. Other customers there are, who

One Acre and a Quarter.

On recent visit to Nevada, we called on
one of our old friends and subscribers. who
lives about two miles from town, and has
what his neghbors call ranch-not one of
the boundless Spanish ranches, covering
half of the country-but the moderate limits
of one acre and quarter. While discussing
a Thanksgiving lunch with friend Dunn. we
succeeded in getting the following items as
the produce OF his snug mountain garden.
Early onions, lettuce and radshes SIS !;
cabbage and tomato plants sold $d5; green
peas and beans $50; ripe peas and beans Sc;
100 lbs. ripe onions A; 20 lbs. dry sage and

Il produce of the garden foot up the snug
um of $l677 Is.
In addition to the garden, the dairy yielded
net profit of 1878, and the poultry yard
litter paying $3.50, was left larger. than it
was the previous year. In all, the figures
show the handsome amount of $4,000 Is.
Mr.. Dunn is a miner and makes that his bus
mess and only works in his garden by i'm
proving such leisure time as he can avail
himself of. The above figures we are pre-
pared to believe are accurate, and if so we
challenge any one in the State to show a
better and more profitable cul ivated acre

TUNIE subscriber takes this method of informing the
n citizens of California that he has refitted his
rooms and prepared to take all kinds of Pictures
known to the Photographic Art, unsurpassed in the
world; that he has made special arrangements for per-
coming from di tant parts of the State and would
say toll such that provided perfect satisfaction is not
given, he will not only not charge for work, but will
pay them for their time and trouble in calling.
Those arrangements have been made in view of the
fact that the country is ocked with unskilful opera
tors whose work not only wanting in chemical effect.
and everything that constitutes good picture, but
owing to the improper of the chemicals employed,
they are rendered perishabe and worthless.

CAUSES OF INsANITf.-Ninety persons, from
San Francisco county aioae, have been COM
mitted to the Insane Asylum during the cur
rent year. Upon this fact the Bulletin re-
marks:
OF these, we have more or less facts as to
their history, in 43 cases. 1t appears that
some two-fifths of the whole were born in
the United States, and about one-fourth
were from Ireland; that 8 of the insane had
been in California years or over; six, 6
years; FIVE, years. three, I years; two,
years; one, years, and nine less than
year. Well-marked physical disease seemed
to be the immediate cause, in some 20 per
cent. of cases. Eight per cent. took the
form of religious mania, but whether the
religious excitement was the cause or the
consequence of the craziness, does not ap
pear. Eleven per cent. had their origin in
domestic trouble, In most Of which cases
the family of the lunatic is not In California.
More than 20 per cent. were known to be
Incorporate. Eleven per cent. had hered-
itary tendency to insanity. Self-abuse was
the undoubted cause in six per cent of the
cases, and probably closer investigation
would show that this was far below the true
number. 1t is gratifying to know that most
OF these causes will grow less and less in
fuential as society becomes more settled, as
our population more and more separate into
families, and live in homes of their exclu-
sive occupation.

HeP CULTURE.-A Sacramentan writes to
the Bee as follows:

the Bee as follows:
A friend of mine, two years ago, with no
experience and very little knowledge of the
hop culture, planted out one-third of an
acre OIL hop cuttings, for which he paid, as
he then thought, an extravagant price. This
season he has gathered and sold 394 pounds
of hops, at 629 cents per pound, making the
proceeds from sales of hops S24O. The
cuttings from his patch are worth, this sea-
son, 5000 more, only a part of which are
yet sold, making quite snug little sum from
one-third of an acre.
And now for the expense Of culture. The
whole expense of cuttings, planting, culti-
vating picking, drying aud marketing, has
not exceeded $lOo. This little plantation
is just now in good condition for producing,
and will last twenty years or more.

1t is almost impossible to travel mile or
two in any direction through these noun
tains without passing over spots where from
three to ten acres of good land may be OBJ
tanned for a home-a vineyard, orchard and

Here is wise remark from Miss Evans
novel of Adam Bede:
These fellow -mortals, every one, must be
accepted as they are. You can neither
straighten their noses, nor brighten their
wit, nor rectify their dispositions. And it
is these people, among whom your life is
passed, that it is needful you should toler-
ate, pity and love. 1t is these more or less
ugly, stupid, Inconsistent people, whose
moments of goodness you should be able to
admire-for whom you should cherish all
possible hopes, all possible patience.
