APosTRoPHE TO CALIFoRNIA.-A Washoe paper
pays the - Gem of the Pacific = a very pretty
compliment, thus:
Caiforna--I1ow she sits like a Queen beside
the beautiful sunset sea How grand her place,
how glorious her destiny ribbed round by
solemn guardian mountains, the mines her ever
lasting sentinels strange, beautiful flowers in
terwoven, make her diadem her sceptre is vir-
gin gold, her canopy cloudless sky. An en-
pire, complete in herself! Were she in mo-
mcnt rent from the continent and made an island
in the sea. still every needed thing to make a
nation great would be found, either developed
living germ in her sustaining breast. How
proud she sits, her Golden Gates swung back
ward for the world great ships to enter heI
mighty, land-locked bay, at rest an anchorage
where the whole worlds ships might ride. The
Bay beautiful at first, and with glory
thousand times enhanced by that city that came
at the touch of Midas, and unfolded its glitter
ing splendor on the still bays sandy shore. Be-
yond these, stretching away, mile after mile, in
ncomprehensible vastness sleep her fertile plains
waiting for the coming millions who to poo
pie them. And last of all her moyeless bulwark
of adamant and gold. Her people, too, how
loyal, how brave and true, how appropriate for
such home, how worthy as a whole, to be
fathers and mothers to that people who are to see
the Queen of the Pacific in the full fruition of
her glory. Loyal and true Californians no
stain is on thy loyalty, and when the cries oil
dying men come flashing to thy ears, thy golden
ingots thrown down as if they were but wa
ter. Fair land in thought it seems as though
thou vert the last created, and that in thee was
conferred by Omnipotencc, the excellences O.
every other cline.

THE HEART OF WOMAN.

'Mong icy hills and tropc groves,
And where the dark barbarian roves,
In gilded mansions, and where moves,
Midst poverty, forms human.
There lives a gem that glitters through
The clods that mortal frames Undue,
As bright sunshine on the dew
1t is the heart of woman.
Her heart is Loves own chalce bright,
In which its essence, darting light,
Reposes deep. to awe the night
That spreads existence dimly:
As high with beaming Love It's filled,
And with sweet purity instilled-
1t rises nearer heaven, unchilled
BY hates that hover grimly.
It's purest 'mong domestic scenes;
For more precious than queens
Is that dear heart that ever CLEANS,
For home the joys that make it.
Proud tempted pleasures, where grand strains,
Hold reycl with pervuling pains.
Charm not that heart, while home remains,
Twill bless and ne'er forsake 1t.
A treasure it's to toilng man.
And hopeful soothing. when ban
Ger fortune comes and every plan
OF Lies wild hope is broken:
Then like ray from Heaven il burns,
And checking SORROW. ovcrturns
Tie shades that lures despair. ycarns
The soul for Loves best token.
Mans heart is like the stalwart tree,
BY Nature moulded strong as be
The oak or elm that 'bovc the lea

The cold winds sweep and leaves decline,
Yet round the trunk and branches Irvine,
The tendrils of fadeless vine
How like the heart of woman.

THE PRESIDENTS LAsT.-Another story has
leaked out 1t is supposed to be good although
we must acknowledge that @ we can't see it. =
Father Abraham had accompanied a young lady
to the hospitals in the capital, when the sympa-
thizing creature, in duty bound, became in
terested in a wounded soldier. To all her in
quiries as to the location of his wound, however,
she could only get one reply, thus: 'My good
fellow. where were you hit % " At Antetam y
:. Yes but where did the bullet strike you ~
" At Antietam." q But where did the bullet
hit you 2" " At Antietam." Becoming discour-
aged, she doputized Mr.. Lincoln to prosecute the
inquiry, which he did successfully. Upon his
rejoning her, she was more curious than ever,
when the President, taking both her hands in
his, said in his most impressive style - My
dear girl, the ball that struck him would not
have injured you"

THE BAYoNET.-Notwithsta standing the recent
improvements made in artillery and portable fire
arms, the bayonet is still considered the most
decisive weapon in close conflict. The science
of projectiles has produced nothing deadly
and so difficult to withstand. Troops that will
advance undauntedly in the face of whitening
fire may yet lack the nerve to meet line of
leveled steel. Cannon are often fired too high
or too low and out of every hundred shots in
platoon firing, not in twenty-five kills or
wounds. But the blade of musket truer than
its ball, rarely misses its mark. In collision,
down goes the front rank on either side-and
one or the other party gives way, and the pur-
suit is murderous. To make bayonet charge
requires more than ordinary courage and disci-
plne ; to receive and repel one, the utmost pluck
and most perfect discipline combined Even the
veterans under Napoleon generally gave way be-
fore the cold steel of the British infantry and
Wellington enjoincd it upon his soldiers to place
their chief dependence upon that silent and
most terrible of all deadly weapons. The ugly
enough three cOrnered instrument of Yelling
tons day has been somewhat replaced by a
weapon still more frightful in appearance tho
it is doubtful whether the modern rifle saber in
tcts more dangerous wound than its angular
predecessor but neither are sufficiently invi-
ting to form n close acquaintance with on the
field The popular idea of bayonet combat is
wide of the truth. We are told that the new
bayonet is preferable to the old fashioned one
because ii is better fencing implement. But
the fact is that very little fencing is done with
the bayonet under any circumstances. In cases
where the charge is firmly met-and they are
rare-there is clash of STEEL momentary
struggle, and then a recol of the weaker or less
determined force. The actual collision seldom
lasts more than few seconds, never more than
two or three minutes. All the stories about pro
tracted conflicts with the bayonet, in which the
opposing forces said to have swayed back.
