Under the LOCusts.

sor;ng time was tripping o'er the hills
And garlauding the sunny leas,
And white flowers hung like scented wreaths
of sea foam on the locust trees.
Moonlight came softly out Of heaven,
Leaving ajar the doors of light,
And playful spriteS with torches lit
Flashed upward in the northern night,
And mid the glories of that hour,
4 maid. with step like Mays soft breeze,
VIII ewes like little wells of heaven,
Stood with me meath the locust trees.
Her hsnd-a dazzling fake of snow
Had ceased to futier, aud at ease
Law soft in niue as bent down
And kissed her meath the locust trees.
A year had passed. little year nights
Onee more have come spring moonlight
And once again are lovers out
A-Eatching late the northern lights.
Bat stand calm and very still,
Feeling kiss in every breeze,
As all night long sit and watch
\ grave bencath the locust trees.

largely into fruit culture, are generally
the best satisfied with it. 1t furnishes
something TO sell from August until
March. The early apples have to be mar
keted in their season, but the Winter va
rieties can wait fer good prices from three
to six months without damage to their
quality. Pears though more perishable
than apples, and requiring more skill 10
their handling and ripening, are enough
higher in price to make them profitable
Not the least advantage of an abundant
supply of fruits in the family, is their iu-
fluence upon health At this season of
the year they are the greatest safeguard

PHOTOGRAPHIC CARD.

TAKE pleasure in announcing to my old friends and
lcustOmcrs that after absence of two years, /
have again returned to resume the practice OF the
PHOTOGRAPHIC ART in all its branches having pur-
chased the interest of my brother in the old establish
months IN New York the past Summer TO obtain fully
all the late improvements in the art have painted,
and enlarged the suite of Rooms throughout
That my facilities are now better to produce first
class work than most Galleries boast Of and con
duce to the comfort OF our patrons trust not only
to sustain the proud position the Gallery has hereto
fore sustained, but to elevate 1t 10 still higher stand
ard. have also engaged the services of Mr.. COOK,
one OF the best Photographers in the world who took
the Pictures which obtained the first premium at the
Worlds Fair in London, in 1851, and am determined
not only to make this the leading Gallery in the State
but my work shall not be surpassed North South,
and now introduce to the public the following new
styles:
Imperial Photograph, India Ink,
Vigenette, plain or coored,
Ivorytypes, %
Pastel Portal Pictures, life size,
Photographs ON Canvass, life size,
Visiting Cards, full length plain,
Autograph Photographs, Is taken at one sitting
Stereoscopes, on glass or paper,
still continue to make the Melainotype and Am
brotype heretofore. The above styles all en-
tirely new in this city, except the Autograph Card,
when but one made at sitting. Alwho in want of
anything in my line are politely invited to give my
call before visiting elsewhere, when will prove by
occular demonstration the above facts.

The Dreams OF the DlsuniOnlsts.

This secession movement is founded on
reasons purely selfish. The principal men
engaged in it have not acted the matter for
the first time. They have cherished this
purpose for long time, and only seize this
opportunity 10 carry 1t Ont--an oppurtuni-
ty they have made themselves. The pre.
text of equal rights in the Territories il
shallow. Ii they could secure on equal
share of the Territories permanently there
would be some sense In it.; but they pro-
pose no such thing. States will do as they
please, and they know it. They will ex-
clude slave property if they desire, and
these secessionists have no remedy, and pro.
pose none. A great fuss is made about sla.
very for year or two in Territory, and
there it is all to eud. 1t is asking us to be-
lieve rather too much TO ask us to believe
this littlc matter a great affair.
The chief captains in this secession move.
ment have reasons more substantial. The
politicians think they can be more in a
Southern Confederacy than they can be in
the Union. Others think their seaport towns
will be the great marts of trade which now
goes principally to northern ports. They
think slave labor can be had cheaper, whilst
the price OF their great staple will be en-
hanced. They dream Of getting Mexico and
Cuba, and Central America, and building
up great Southern Confedcracy. They
have dwelt on the prospect until It is quite
enchanting. These border Slave States are
to play secondary part in this grand
achievement. and take care Of themselves
as best they can, whilst South Carolina poll
ticians are glorifed to the full measure Of
their conceit. Charleston is to be the New
York of the South, and Louisville is to be a
little frontier town, exposed to all the evils
of such locality. Kentucky is to be sub
servient to the ambition of South Carolina,
and play second fiddle to the whole move
ment. Let the border States, then, take
care of themselves for their interests will
not be considerably the extremsts.-[Lou-

MINERAL DIsCovERIEs.-A dispatch from
Los Angeles, says that Joel Clayton return

bringing specimens Of sulphuret of copper,
and lead aud silver ore, from new leads
lately discovered. The leads lay about co
miles east of the Coso mine, are $50 miles
north Of Los Angeles, supposed to be a con-
tinuation of the Coso lead, and equally as
rich. He also reports that rich placer dig
gings have been discovered sixty miles
north Of San Bernardino, at the head of the
Mojave. About l50 men are at work, and
a great many are leaving San Bernardino

A MAN AND HoRsE IN SHAFT.-We
have to record, says the Yreka Union, one
of the most singular accidents and lucky es-
capes it has ever been our lot to chronicle.
Last Saturday night. about ten o'clock,
Marshal Ranous received information that
man and horse had fallen into a shaft in the
north part of the town, on Third street. lie
procured assistance and Immediately re-
paired to the place. 1t seems some prospect
ors had sunk a shaft about eighteen feet
deep, and about:six or seven feet In length,
and about half way down this shaft they
had dug down bench for the purpose of
throwing the dirt from the bottom upon,
and from this bench to the top of the shaft.
On arriving at the place and descending to
the bench. with light, the Marshal found
the man lying very quietly doing off the
whisky he had drank through the day, while
the horse was securely stabbed in the bottom
of the shaft apparently unhurt. BY the as
sistance Of ropes the man was raised out
and walked to town. Early next morning
the horse was released from his close quar-
ters, and strange to say, that night the shaft
caved in filing entirely up.

A SHAN DUEI.-A duel came off at La
Grange, Stanislaus county, few days ago,
between two young men named Moore and
Davis. 1t appears that Davis had been at.
tending a school kept by Mr.. Moore, and
behaved so badly that he was requested to
stay away. This he did for a while but
returned again, and was forcibly elected
by the teachers brother. He thereupon
challenged young Moore, seconds were
chosen, and the matter arranged for hos
tile meeting. But it was agreed upon by
the seconds to play practical joke on
Davis. He being timer, prepared for
himself close fitting armor, composed of
sheet iron and tin, and having encased him
self in it, appeared at the appointed hour
with his seconds, and was met by his an
tagonist with his friends. The weapons
(six shooters) were loaded without balls,
and the principals placed thirty PAGES apart
At the first fire Moore fell and kicked like
a dying calf. when his seconds rushed to
his relief and slyly besmeared his face and
shirt with red ink. Davis, supposing that
Moore was mortally wounded, was dread
fully frightened, aud attempted to mount
his horse wherewith to make his escape,
but his armor bound him so closely that he
could not He was finally smuggled off
privately to his place of business. The joke
soon spread, and great deal Of sport was
had at Davis expense.

be Wells. the treble murderer. The man
arrested at Guaymas is described as a short
stout German of five aud half feet, about,
and acts like an experienced rogue. Parties
who saw the veritable Wells, while be was
under arrest in Washoe, say he is about five
feet and nine or ten inches in height, slim,
aud is Irish. They have got the wrong man
