A Young Lady's SOIiIOquy.

Uselessly, aimlessly drifting through life,
What was born for "For Somebody's wife"
l am told by my mother. Well, that being true,
"Somebody' keeps himself strangely from view,
And if naught but marriage will settle my fate,
believe shall die in an unsettled state.
For, though Pm not ugly-pray what woman Isl
You might easily find a more beautiful phiz
And then, as for temper and manners, tbs plain
He who seeks for perfection will seek here in vain
Nay in spite of the drawbacks my heart is perverse
And should not feel grateful 'for better worse,
To take the first BOBBY that graciously came
And offered those treasures his home and his name
] think, then, my chances OF marriage are small
But why should think of such chances at all F!
My brothers are all ofthem, younger than |,
Yet they thrive in the world, why not let me tryg
know That II business Pm not an adept,
Because from each matter most strictly I'm kept,
Why am not trained UP to work ofsome kind
Useessly, ,aimlessly, drifting through life.
Whv should wait to be Somebody's wife 2"

TIA TAsT1NG-Few of our readers are
aware that tea-tasting is reduced to a reg
u[er profession, one which is as certain

opium-eating. The success of the tea bro
ker, or taster depeSSds upon the tr'ir'' &C
curacy Of his nose and pala'
ence in the wants of the American market,
and a keen business tact If he has these
qualities in high cultivation, he may make
from twenty to forty thousand dollars per
annum while be lives, and die of liberation
Of the lungs He overhauls cargo of tea,
cIasslfies it, and determines the value of
each sort. In doing this he first looks at
the color of the leaf, and the general clean
illness Of it. He next takes a quantity of
the herb in his hand, and breathing bis
warm breath upon it, he snufs up the fra
GRANGE. In doing this, he draws into his
lungs quantity of irritating and stimula-
ting dust, which is by no means whole

his Office, on which is long row of little
porcelain cups and pot of hot water, be
'draws" the tea and ases the Infusion
In this way, he classifes the different sorts

prices, and is then ready to compare his
work with the invoice. The skill of these
tasters is fairly marvel, but the effect of
the business on their health is ruinous.-
They grow lean, nervous and consumptive.

WHOLE NUMBER 90.
Cost of Living in San Francisco.

1t is frequently asserted that the cost Of
living in San Francisco is not greater ne
cessarily than it is in the Atlantic Cities
While this is measurably true, its applica-
bility is only to certain classes of society,
to what in the parlance of the times is
called "genteel" and so on up to the leFia-
thans in wealth. But it is very far from
being that when you test it by the expen-
ses of those who depend upon daily toll
for daily support in our Pacific Metropolis
The family of liberal means, q e., one that
can afford to occupy solely slightly and
comfortable mansion, located upon pleas
ant area, ard keep one or more servants,
with other expenditures in proportion
can, we have every reason to believe, COM
mand for about the same outlay, as many
comforts and .luxuries as can be had in
New York
But when we go below this class and
consider the condition Of the thousands
who make up the "mudsills" twill be dis
covered that with the exception Of 'mar-
keting" the families of the poor are as
sailed with series of expenses for neces-
saries which in the whole far exceed any
expenditures for similar purposes in the
East by the same class of people. That
this is true, can be easily seen when we
consider the enormous charges of 'corner
groceries" to which the poor are necessa-
rily driven-the high cost Of physicians
prescriptions, lying-in expenses, fuel, (wood
costing the poor on an average, measure
ment considered, about $25 per cord)
washing, in case Of the inability of the
nation, from any cause, to perform this
labor, and the many other expenditures
which are sufficiently known to the poor
To this must be added high rents, or squal-
id aUodes, still dearer in reality, although
at lighter charge
In the great cities of the East, provision
is made to a very large extent for the
classes we allude to, of comfortable suites
of apartments, we'll ventilated, supplied
amply with gas water, and, in truth, with
most modern conveniences, which can be
rented at a moderate rate. Here the oc-
cupation Of such premises would consume
two-thrds of the earnings of a man in
New York below the "genteel grade"
We conceive that the putting forth of
statements, such as we have referred to,
whether with that intention or not, works
a severe hardship upon our masses.
They can be viewed in no other light
than an attempt to depreciate the prices Of
labor in California, and thus shbserve the
interests of those who fill the "high places
in the land. San Francisco Ere. Jour-

who have been there ''that the imagination
can scarcely picture such wealth. yet it
must not be supposed that every one who
goes will carry mountain of silver away
with him. 1t requires time and capital 10

with the means of starting business there
is undoubtedly the best opening of the
present day, but to the poor man, the
chances are less favorable Letters have

gives this evidence on this disputed point.
He thus declares There is no pleasure
that have experienced like a childs mid

two or three of us used to go away up the
brook, and take our dinners with US, and
come home at night tired, dirty, happy,
scratched beyond recognition, with greasy
nosegay, three little trout, and one shoe,
the other having been used for boat till it
had gone down with all hands out of
soundings. Depend upon it, man never
experienced such pleasure or grief after
fourteen as he does before, unless in some
cases, in his frst love-making, where the

A SPUNKY UNION BRIDE.-A few days
ago young married lady of Covington,
ILL.,, appeared at the Office Of the Depart
ment Provost Marshal General, with the
information that her husband, one Capt.
Ripley, was a rebel, had been in the rebel
army, and that recently he had been sending
quinine and other contraband articles to
Memphis, and thence through the Federal
lines 10 the rebel States She asked that
he should be arrested and suitably punished
for his reasonable acts. She told when
and where he could be found, and accord
ingly he was soon in the hands Of the Fed
eral police, handcuffed, and sent off to Myr-
tie street prison, where he will remain un-
til one of the military commissions can SEN
tence him to hard labor in the old Alton
penitentiary until the close of the war
That is the punishment which seems TO be
regularly awarded to the perpetrators The
history of her marriage to the gallant cap
tain she related to be this When visit
ing friends in this city, six or eight weeks
ago, some one of them introduced Ripley
as proper person whom he or she had met
in the city After an acquaintance Of a
few days he courted her, and she agreed to
marry him, depending on the opinion Of her
friends that he would make a very proper
husband. A few days after the wedding
he obtained half her money to trade and
speculate with, and in little while after
informed her he had bought quinine with it
to send South and that he was certain his
speculation would result proftably and he
asked for the rest of her money to engage
in another speculation of the same kind
He further informed her of his rebel SYM
pathies, and that he had been a captain in
the rebel army. This was more than she
could bear, and she resolved to have him
arrested and punished, and get a divorce
from, him as soon as she cOuld

GEN GRANTS SPEECH AT MFMPHIs-
At the grand banquet given to the hero of

August, the following toast was proposed /:
General Grant-Your Grant and my
Grant. Having granted us victories, grant
us the restoration of the cold Flag ;"
grant us supplies so that we may grant to
our friends the grant to u.s.
This was received with deafening cheers
and loud calls for General Grant; who re-

Il thank you, gentleman, for your kind

that it is in my power to do, will grant
