Finding their " "AMnities.

A funny little episode occurred in the AS
sembly on Saturday last, while resolutions
relative to the state Of the Union were under
consideration. Mr. Piercy offered resolution
declaring that the present disturbances were
chargable to the Republicans of the Northern
States. This pleased the forlorn hope of
Breckinridgers, who represent South Carolina
in the California Assembly, and the resolution
was pushed by them as a test, under a call for
the previous question, and Mr. Conness offered
an amendment as follows:
ReSolued, AS the sense of this House, that,
the troubles existing in the Atlantic States
are justly chargable to the sectional doctrines
advocated by the Republican patty, and that
the United States forts and arsenals recently
taken at Charleston and elsewhere, have un-
doubtedly been taken by Republicans in dis
guise."
This amendment so exactly sent the probe
to the heart of the wound, that it was impossi-
BILE for the gentlemen of affinities to longer
conceal them. 1t was two-edged sword. 1t
cut both ways, and created" sad and pltiable
havoc among Breckinridgers and Republicans
They kicked and squirmed, when the resolution
was read. The leading Breckinridger could
see no point in it. Some gentleman, proba-
bly, of slow comprehension, discovered, after
awhile, that there was point to it, and desir-
ed to have it reread.
Upon the adoption of the amendment, the
ayes and noes were demanded and, after great
lutterng, the amendment was defeated, and
the whole subject tabled, to the great satisfac-
tion of those who dislike test questions which
compel them to show their affnities' Wood,
of Plumas, paired off. Harris, of Butte, when
his name was called the second time, arose and
nnocently inquired what question was before
the House, thus showing that the "gentleman
from Butte still lacketh information" After
having been Informed, he stated that he had
voted no. Probably he had, and the Clerk
had not distinctly heard him.

TELEGRAPHING.-A Boston paper notices
that on the evening of January l4tb, the tele-
graphic operator put Portland in connection
with Wilmington n c., and Charleston, S. c.,
and transmitted messages distinctly. Subse-
quently Bangor and New Orleans are connec-
ted for the first time, and messages sent from
Maine to Louisiana. This is probable longer
distance than was ever before connected in the
United States, or any land telegraph line over
which ineligible dispatches have been sent.

Persons long afflicted who have vany tried many
expedients to eradicate disease, are but too apt
to give way to dependency and roIinquish all hope
OF cure. Even when remedy that has cured thou

it is of no use, nothing will me- This IS folly,
a wfu sacrifice of health the greatest Of temporal
blessings ; such morbid feelings peculiarly obtain
among sufferers from scrofua, cutaneous and erup-
tive diseases, arising chiefly from the disiguring
and often repnsive features of these maladies Let
those who thus afflicted from their leth-
argy and resort to SANDS SARsAFARILLA, they

The Wish OF a Young l. =
BY MINNIE MAY.

l wish that was beautiful
Nay, smile not if It's wrong.
For many a wilder wish than this
Escapes toe human tongue.
l wish that was beautiful,
That flashing eye were mine,
a rosy cheek, poutinG lip,
All. for these | vanity pine.
| wish that | was beautiful.
Ny mother then would smile
Upon her darling lily,
And she'd look al me the while.
With LOOK Of love so tcuder,
And pride would light her face,
That now when'er she looks at me,
Assumes a downcast grace.
While on my sister Carrie, .
She locks with such delight;
Her hairs 50 dark and wavy,
Her eyes so large and bright.
All, l really think envy her
he love my mother gives,
And yet love dear Carrie,
And am glad my sister lives.
Nv mothers friends they look at me
But ne'er word they speak;
They PASS me by so co!dly,
0 it seems my heart will break.
| wish that ! was beautiful,
I'd not care for ease and grace,
For those who wish to ind these
Neer seek t. homely face.
They say gool deeds are worthier, fai
OF love than beauty is;
But if It's 80 the worlds unjust,
And wrongly give her praise.

BY MINNIE MAY.

Wouh'st thou then be beautiful
When beauty fades 50 soon?
The rosy cheek Of morning
May be pale e'er come the noon.
Woulo'st thou indeed be beautiful
WoUld's ST have a flashing eye,
A rosy cheek and tresses soft ?
These change and fade and die.
Beauty may win, tho for time,
Soft worda-by Gat,erers given
But It's oiteuest on the rosy chez
The Judas kiss is given.
Beauty is Natures poorest boon,
And woman's weakest charm;
Then ask it not, bat seek for craze
Twill never bring thee harm.
Beauty will never win for thee
"A noble, trusting heart,
Such as you'd have to walk life patti
From all the world apart.
Then ask not to he beautiful,
Bat be gentle, kind and true;
For beautys charm is novelty
Then give it but its due.
Then teach thy heart to seek it not,
BE noble, pure and good
For beauty such as this, for thee,
Will via the angels love.
