Nothing TO Do.

Miss Molina McMorgan hearty and hale,
Yet wished to he sl9pdor, and languid and pale,
30 dclrnudcd her stomach of what was its due,
And cheated her muscles OF exercise, too.
She dipped m the goblet her fingers so fair,
And wiped the tip ends with delicate air,
Then crossed her white hands her hoop hesprcad lap
Too idle for converse, TOO vain for nap,
For stl twas her air N attracting the view,
To convince all beholders she had nothing to do.
Miss Ceostia Fitz Mack're would dangle the day
Over worsted and crot0het or novel and play
She sorted her shades With an accurate eye,
But let her poor mothers wan features pass by,
Who, half Worn to death with her family care
Found nothing like help from her daughter and heir
Tho getting of dinners, the toll and the stir
OF such vulgar pursuits were disgusting to her;
Aud thus to her uondescript creed she was true
The mother might toll, but she'd nothing to do.
O. young mon, my masters, who dream with delight
OF "A home OF your own, which no discord can blight
Where the roses of Eden, from mding exempt
And an Eve who no contrabaud apple can tempt;
Where the wheel of good order like clock work shall nove
And babies, well trained, bring an ocean OF love;
Whore Prudence with smus of cndoarment shll glOWi
And Wealth hand in hand with Economy grow
I'd tiin sound trumpet aud bid you bewaro
OF qucksluds beneath though the surface seems Air
Avoid like the Upa9, with poisonous dew,
Those exquisite ladies' who'yc nothing to do.

thousand cubic feet, but on account Of the de-
probation of the legal tender notes, it was pro-
posed to raise the price to six dollars. Sander
son, of FL Dorado, moved to make it five dollars
in gold or the equivalent of five dollars in other
currency He said every should pass for
lowing contracts to be made specifying whether
payments should be made in United States cola,
in Spanish doubloons, English soveregns, legal
tender notes. or any other valuable consideration
that might be agreed upon between the parties.
He regretted that United States notes were not
here, as at the East, the basis of our currency,
and gold bought and sold for what il might be
worth, After some debate, he withdrew his
amendment The currency question has already
occupied much of the time Of the Legislature in
one form and another but we seem to be as far
from any settled policy as ever. Shaunon's res
olutons which passed the Senate unanimously,
are perhaps, so far as they so, an indication of
the opinion of the majority on the subject They
simply ask our delegation in Congress to impress
upon the President the necessity of paying U.
S. officers and employees, soldiers and seamen
west of the Rocky Mountains in coin, provided
the same be paid in as revenue on this coast,

Spring VioIets under the SNOW.
by oRruEUs c. KERR.


Nothing is lost that has beauty TO save,
Purity rises in flowers from the grave,
Aud from the blossoms that fade on the trco
Ralleth the seed OF the blossoms to be
Life unto Death is mortality 5 growth
Something immortal is under them both
Surely as cometh the Winter, | know
There are Spring violets under the snow.
See the old man in his great easy chair,
Furrowed his forehead and white is his hair
Yet, as he roguishly smiles To his dame,
Pointing her eyes TO the lovers, whose shame
Makes thom withdraw from the light Of the fire,
Boyhoud, HIGHT hearted, reveals Ia the sire,
Surely as c0meth hie's Winter, know
There are Spring violets under the snow
See the old wife in her kerchief and cap,
Dropping her knitting work into her lap,
While, with a laugh that is silent she shakes,
And DER her shoulder another peep takes
Years are fun forty since she was a Miss,
Yet she 5 a girl IN that overheard kiss
Surely as comcth lilc's Winter, know
There are Spring violets under the snow
See the old people, with mods of delight,
Stealing together away for the night,
Ever too fond and too cunning TO own
Why they should leave the shy lovers alone
But their eyes, twinkng are telling the truth
Down in their hearts is an answering youth
Surely "A cometh litcs Winter, know
There are Spring yiolets under the snow !

and magnificent as they are, are only i'll keeping
with the taste and requirements Of our citizens,
and open the eyes of some of the newly ar

the gentlemanly Agent, does this establishment
owe its great popularity-aside from the we'll
known excellence of the " Grover x Baker "
machines, which have taken the lead of Others

ANOTHER VERsIoN.-Capt. Moore recently ar
rived at San Francisco from Tucson. He gives
a different version of the execution of Corporal
Smith, by Col. West. 1t seems that company
of 80 men of Vests command mutinied-refused
to obey orders, and laid down their arms. Col.
West appeared before them Immediately on learn
ing the fact, and ordered them to resume their
arms and return to their duty. A corporal be-
came spokesman tor the mutneers and refused to
obey him. Col. West then ordered detail from
the mutinons company to shoot the corporal on
the spot. The detail obeyed, but on the first fire
elevated their muskets and the charge passed
over his head. On the second fire they crossed
muskets and missed again. Col. West then drew
his revolver, and sword in hand, pricked the men
into their duty, at the same time threatening them
with similar fate if they missed their aim. On
the third fire the mutinOus corporal was shot,
and the balance of them imprisoned, with the de-
cisve action of the commanding General return
ed to their quarters and duty. This course was
rendered absolutely necessary, as some four or
five officers have been shot at and murdered by
these men. The San Francisco correspondent of
the Sacramento Bee vouches for the above state
ment.

A CHURou JoKE.--On New Years Eve there

whereat Rev. Mr. Garnet, black man, oficiated
principally. In the course of the proceedings OF

Just seen a man enter the room who had done as
much to destroy the monster slavery as any other
man. He alluded, he said to Hon. Horace Gree
ley. Whereupon the whole audience rose and ap-
plauded, and cheered, and shouted in most vocif
erous enthusiasm. When it was done, Mr.. Gar
net said Gentlemen aud ladies, am sorry
that you have had all this clapping for nothing
A gentleman light here before me looked 50 much
like Mr.. Greeley that thought it was him, but
when mentioned Mr.. Greeley name he clapped
as hard as the rest and then saw my mistake"

A SOLDIERS VISIoN.-The following extract
from letter written by soldier In the Federal
army was handed to us by Tom. Godsworthy
with request to publish:
"a young man who is lying sick in the tent
which occupy, had Il singular dream last night,
a narration of which will perhaps interest you.
lie dreamed he was in the centre of vast level
plain, when suddenly he saw two great armies
approaching each other at a furious charge bayo-
nets. lie was between them, and momcntarily
expected the furious shock of their meeting, but
just as they reached him, they stopped suddenly,
grounded arms and looked up toward Heaven
His eyes followed the direction which theirs took
aud he saw the clouds rapidly breaking away as
they do often after severe storm The sun
burst forth gloriously as the heavy masses rolled
away, revealing to his enrapured gaze the figures
OF Washington, Jefferson, Clay, Adams, Webster,
and all the heroes who have lost their lives in
this unhoy rebellion, including Ellworth, Lyon,
aud Baker. On an immense scroll stretching
above the heads of this throng was the sentence,
Peace April 23d, 1863 Directly under this
