YANKEE-The following capital illustration

an ''inquiring mind" Before, occupying The

and maneuvering to get IN opportunity to look

BUYING LIFE.-l am inclined to think
that the divines are wrong in so universally
ascribing to the prosperous love Of this
life, ard doubt whether the notion of ex
tinction does possess that terror for the
human heart which is always ascribsd to
it by pulpit orators. 1t is the misfortune
OF the clergy, and yet one which We can
scarcely wish remeded, that, regarding
our fallen nature from high orthodox
stand. point themselves, they are often ig
norant Of how it looks from the position
occupied by their less we'll. p,incipied fel-
low creatures. "Who is there without re
liglon that does contemplate death without
shudder?' is an .xpression very common
| in sermons. Even the atheist, we are told,
recoils from the gloomy void of which it is
his poor notion that death is the portal
Yet in China it costs less than two hund-
red and fifty dollars to get substitute to
suffer capital punishment in your place, if
the Son of the Noon and First Cousin to all
the Planets has deere ell your execution, and
there are few mo1e irreligious people under
Heaven than the Chinese. Moreover, these
substitutes are often very respectable men,
who wish to benefit their wife and child
rem by IN" transaction; just as gentlemen
here at home Qess creditably) insure their
lives in an indispu'abe Office for the ad,
vantage Of their families, and then put an
end to their own existence.
1t is true that some Of these celestial
proxies are regular scamps, and stipu'ate
for the money down, and a weeks grace
in which to spend it in the most abandoned
manner; but death is evidently no more
feared in this case than in the other. In
Japan malefactors smoke upon the very
scaffnld, while their companions are having
their heads cut of, and calmly remove their
cheroots rom their lips when their turn
comes round.

TWENTY YEARS AGO.
BY r. r. GOULD.

bI I. Il. GOULD.
I've wandered to the village, Tom,
I've sat beneath the tree
Upon the school-house playing ground
Which sheltered you and me;
But none were there to greet me, Tom,
| And few were left to know,
That played with US upon the green
Some twenty years ago.
The grass il just rs green, dear Tom,
Barcfooted boys at play,
Were sporting just as we did then,
With spirits just IA gay,
But the master sleeps upon the hill,
Which, coated o'er with snow;
Afforded US sliding place,
Just twenty years ago.
I The old school house Ii altered some.
The benches are replaced,
/ By new ones very like the same
( Our pcn-knves had defaced;
I But the same old bricks are In the wall,
The bell swings to and fro,
Its music just the same, dear Tom,
As twenty years ago.
{ The spring that bubbled meath the hill,
Close by the spreading beach,
Is very low-rwas once % high
That We could almost reach;
And kneeling down to get drink,
Dear Tom, started so.
To see how much that had changed
Since twenty years ago.
Near by the spring, upon an elm,
You know cut your name,
Your sweet-hearts just beneath II, Tom,
And you did mine the same,
Some heartless wretch has peeled the bark,
IT'S dying sure but slow,
just as the one whose name you cut,
Died twenty years ago.
My eyelids had been dry, dear Tom,
But tears came in my eyes,
As thought OF her loved SO we'll,
Those early broken ties,
visited the old church-yard,
And took some flowers to strow,
Upon the graves Of those We loved,
Come twenty years ago.
Some are In the church-yard laid
Some sleep beneath the sea,
But few are left of our old class,
Excepting you and me,
And when our time shall come, dear Tom,
And we are called to 60,
hope they'll lay us where We played,
just twenty years ago.

INDIAN AFFAlRs.-The Union says that Captain

satisfactory manner there. We are told that ma

the mountains bordering the western part of this
county. 4 visit from the Superintendent might
not result in finding matters in as good shape at
Round Valley as at Tule River Nevertheless,
