OCEAN GEMs.--On the ocean beach of Oregon,
between Port Oxford and Goose Bay, the surf IS
continually casting mp little rows of yarlegated
stones, prettiIy rounded by the action OF the sand
and water, and exbi biting all the hues OF gems.
They average the size of common beans and are
generally transparent, scintilating in the sun
light with the coors of the ruby, the sapphire,
the amethist, and the emerald. Sometimes a
perfectly round one is found, OF an amber color,
aud clear as glass After heavy gale they may
be gathered by the bushel. 1t is somewhat sim
gular that these stones only to be found along
a stretch of coast about twenty miles in length.
In a glass dish, partly filled with water, and
placed where the sun strike Obiquely upon
them, they reflect variety of beautiful rays,
and create a miniature rainbow. or combination
of light resembling one, in their effects.

A FRIGurFuL SToRY.--An Oregon corrcspon-
dent of "A Charleston, South Carolina, paper in
forms his readers that a secret combination exists
in Oregon and California, for running residents
of these two States into the principal ports and
places Of the South for the purpose Of holding
all the Federal Offices under Lincoln. They will
eyow themselves there returned Californians or
Oregonans, will hang around making friends for
few months, and by and by will be commission
ed and take their places as collectors, postmas-
tcrs, etc, wherefore he charges the people OF the
South to have an eye of suspicion on all such,
and show them no favor! We don't suppose
any body there will believe his story, and If they
do they will take good care TO follow his advice,
for they will brook no outside interference in this
matter of holding fat official station In that
respect they much like oIhcrs-think that
they are entitled to the offices themselves, and

the horizon, homeward bound for Portland
Good bye, Wales give our love to your moth

happy You have seen some very sensible men
in this country, Albert Edward, and you must
remember them; you have seen nearly all OF our
snobs and liekspittles, and you will not remember
them. Nobody besides such expects you will.
You have heard the tune " God Save the Queen"
a great many times, Renlrew, but you have per-
sisteutly whstled " Dixey's Land You have
been very much squeezed, Albert Edward, and it
will be good for you You have been rubbed
against and it will make you bright. great
many stories have been told about you, MIR.
Wales, some of which are true and some false.
You wear good clothes, but not pretty hat.
You have ridden about with some very good
horses, aud you have received some of our cholc-
est variety of mud turtles to take home. You
have visited Institutions which you didn't care Il
snap about and you have danced with some OF
the best dressed old ladies to be found in Ameri-
ca. You like to dance but you don't dance the
Lancers very we'll Still you are pretty clever
fellow. If you lived in this country, you would
stand a chance to be ruined, Albert Edward.
You would certainly join fire company, and
then you would be sent to the Common Council, /,
and then you might be elected to Congress, and
then you would lose all your self respect, and
you would be undone. Reporters have bothered
you very much, you say, Albert Edward. They
have bribed your chambcrmaids, and bought up
men of your suit. You have been god send in

you have done your tour in good shape You
seem to have any quantity of money, and You put
it out freely. You have been going it and you

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN was born January 18th,
l706, and was the fifteenth OF seventeen children,
all Of whom, as he relates, lived to be married !;
and he makes the remark that he was the young
est son Of the youngest son, for five generations
back. When very young, his father intended
him for the church, which plan was rellnqnishcd
as being too expensive. At ten years old, he was
taken home to assist his father In the business OF
tallow chandler and soap boiler. Cutting wicks,
filling moulds, and going Of errands were, for
two years. the chief employments of the future
Mentor oi America. At twelve years OF age, he
was apprenticcd TO his brother n printer, who
treated him with such harshncss that, on obtain
ing discharge, he left his service and Travelled
to Philadelphia, where he arrived almost penn-
less, but fired with an Independent perseverance
that enabled him to surmount every difficulty.
Sauntcring through the streets. with his pockets
stuffed with shirts and stockings and roll OF
bread under each arm, he made, in the opinion
of Miss Read, (his future wife, who was standing
at her fathers door as be passed, a most ludic-
rons figure. " Who would have dreamed,' ex-
claims Brlssot dc Warvlle, in his panegyric,
" this miserable wandcrer would become one OF
the legislators Of America, the ornament OF the
new world, the pride of modern philosophy, and
an ambassador TO one of the richest, most power
ful and enlightened nations In the universe"
Let the young reader consider this well, and
attribute his success TO the right causes-frugal-
ty, temperance proper application Of means,
and an untirng industry, which must eventually
command SUCCESS in almost any situation in life.

TIE DARK DAY.-In his " History of Beverly" ,"
Mr.. Stone gives the following description Of that
extraordinary event-May 49, 1889;
The sun rose clear but soon assumed brassy
hue. About ten o'clock, a. m, IL became unusu-
ally dark The darkness continued TO increase
till about one o'clock, when it began to decrease.
During this time, candles were necessary the
birds disappeared and were silent the fowls
went to their roOsts the cocks crew US at day
break and everything bore the appearance and
gloom OF night The alarm produced by this
unusual aspect of the heavens was great, and
trad tion has preserved many anecdotes Of terror.
One old gentleman of rather singular turn, sup
posing the Judgment day at hand, dressed himself
with unusual care, and taking his sllver-headed
cane walked out into the field to await the
event AS the darkness came on, Mr.. Willard,
who possessed some rare instruments, took sta
ton on the common, to make some observations,
and was soon surrounded by large number OF
his parishioners, who gazed on his operations
with awe and wonder. Mr.. W paid no attention
TO the coniectures aud expressions Of alarm ut
tered in his hearing, and calmly pursued bis
investigations. In the midst Of these, a person
of excitable temperament came running from the
sea shore. exclaimng in accents of terror, " The
tide has done 1owing!" So it has" replied
Mr. W., who with admirable presence OF mind
took out his watch, so it has, tor it is just high
water"
The night succeeding the day was of such
pitcby darkness, that in some instances horses
could not be compelled to leave the stable when
wanted for service. About midnight the clouds
dispersed, and the moon and stars appeared with
unimpaired brillancy. II will be recollected
that the venerable Noah Webster, in speaking OF
this dark day. said that no cause had yet been
assigned for it, Mr. Stone, however, says that
the phenomenon is supposed to have been occa
stoned by the smoke arising from extensive fires
in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, and
which, owing to the clearness OF the air and
lghtness of the winds, had accumulated over
this region in immense quantities"

The UypunNED DEAD OF synIA.-Late Syrian

correspondence Of the Boston Traveller says
More than 10000 human bodies still lie upon
the sides Of Mount IIermon, in full view from the
Sea Of Galilee and the Mediterranean, upon the
Plains of SidOn, the ancient Phgnicia, blacken-
ing ia the sun; and their blood still cries out To
Heaven for vengeance. II is an Oriental custom
TO leave the murdered dead unburied until JUS
tice has been satisfied, and although in Syria the
effect Of the climate upon dead body requires
its burial within twenty four hours OF the depart
ure of the spirit from its earthly tenement, these
bodies have remained unburied and in complete
state of preservation. In the ourtyards OF the
palaces, 10 the barracks and wherever the chris.
tian has fallen, there lies the body now, still
awaiting the vengeance of Heaven upon the OPP
pressors and the slayers of the christians OF Mt

A HOME PICTURE.
BY ALICE CAREY.

Ben Fisher had finished his hard days work,
And he sat at his cottage door,
His good wife, Kate sat by his side,
And the moonlight danced on the floor -
The moonlight danced on the cottage floor,
Her beams were clear and bright
As when he and Kate, twelve years before,
Talked love in her mellow light.
Ben Fisher had never pipe of clay,
And never dram drank he
SO he loved at home with his wife to stay,
Aud they chatted right merrily;
Right merrily chatted they on, the while
Her babe slept on her breast
While chubby rogue, with rosy smile,
On her fathers knee found rest.
Ben told her how fast the potatoes grew,
And the corn in the lower field
And the wheat on the hill was grown to seed,
And promised glorious yield
glorious yield in the harvest time,
And his orchard was doing lair
His sheep and his stock were In their prime,
His home all in good repair.
Kate said her garden looked beautiful,
Her fowls and her calves were fat
That the butter Tommy that morning churned
Would buy him Sunday hat
That Jenny for Pa a new shirt had made,
Aud it was done too, by the rule
That Neddy the garden could nicely spade,
And Ann was ahead at school.
Ben slowly raised his toll worn hand
Through his locks of grayish brown
al tell you, Kate what | think" said he,
"We're the happiest folks in town"
Il know, said Kate, that we all work hard
Work and health go together I've found
For there's Mrs. Bell does no work at all,
Aud she's sick the whole year round.
They're worth their thousands so people say,
But necr saw them happy yet
'Twould not be me that would take their gold,
And live in n constant fret;
My humble home has II light within
Mrs. Bells gold could not buy
Six healthy children, merry heart,
And a husbands lovelit eye"
fancied tear was In Beu's eye
The moon shone brighter and clearer
could not tell why the man should cry,
But he hiched up to Kate still nearer
lie leaned his head on her shoulder there,
And he took her hand in his
! guess tho looked at the moon just then
That he left on her lips kiss.
