Edward Everett was born in DOrches-
ter, in this state, April, 1874, and was
therefore at the time of his death nearly
seventy-one years old. His father was a
clergyman, and his elder brother Alexan-
der, was man of high literary distinc-
ton, at one time minister to Spain. He
entered Harvard college at the early age
of l3, and graduated with the first hon
ors Of his class. After two years of pre-
paratory study in the divinity school in
Cambridge, he was, at the early age OF
10, chosen to succeed the eloquent Buck
minister, by whose death the pulpit of the
Brattle Street church had been left va
cant. As a pulpit orator Mr.. Everett
soon attained that distinction which he in.
variably acquired in every department oi
life which he successfully occupied
While holding this position he acquired
an extended reputation by published
defense OF Christianity, icited by an at
tack which was considered of much i'm
portance at the time.

ST.. JoIINsBURl, January, 1865.
EDITOR CALIFORNIAN: Believing you
to be friend of the cause Of temperance,
| propose writing short article ON that
subject, hoping it may find place in your
paper.
That the indiscriminate use of intoM-
eating liquors as beverage is an evil, but
few of the present day will deny. But
what means should be taken to remedy
the evil is a disputed question. When we
see our young men gradually drawn away
by the tempter's art, until they are finally
lost to themselves and their friends for
time and eternity; and when we remem-
Der that as Il rule, the most talented are
the most susceptible to the tempters pow
er: and when we daily read of the sui
cides, murders, and the long list of crimes
of every hue, caused by this foul traffic,
is it not time that something should be
done to curb the destroyer's power? |
hear the friends of temperance on every
side replying that something should be
done, but what can we do? "Those
who are engaged in the rum traffic are
banded together to evade and resist the
law. They are so cautious, so cunning
that it is about impossible to catch them
and there is but little use in trying to dc
anything with them" ! have no sympa
thy with such course Of reasoning Dc
you ask what we shall do? Let us be al
cautious as they. Let us meet their Gun
ming with superior cunning. Are the,
banded together to resist the law! Thel
let the friends of temperance be bande'
together to support the law. But it /
said they will have their spies present a
any place where we may meet, and thu
be able to thwart all our plans. The
we must form societies to which none bu
the initiated can gain admittance, wher
we can form such lI ans, and take sucl
measures as may be successful to the over
throw of our invidiOus foe. But | hea
objections to secret societies And why
will not stop here to discuss the good G
: evil of them, merely saying that the ruI
power has its secret societies, and VIII
should we not meet them on equal terms
If any one doubts the above assertion, le
him try to get a glass of liquor at an
place where he may know it to be solt
and unless he is acquainted with the
signs and passwords, he will find it in
a impossible. The only way then is to tor1
Il secret society, where we may comb;
II them on equal grounds.
We have just such society here,
f which number of the earnest friends
!, temperance are doing what, they can fl
y the advancement of the cause. l ref
e to the Good Templars, society whi(
!; has done, and is destined to do a gre
>. deal to suppress the unlawful sale of il
e toxicating drinks. This society started
g central New York in the year 1851, fro
e whence it spread rapidly over the gre
g West But little has been known of it
le New England until quite lately and
it is but little understood by the publ

Gods Best GW.
BY W. C. b r Y A N I

Come fll-fll to the toast
To which my glass lift,
Here's "She we love the most
Here's Woman-God's best gift"
Oh who, beloved by her,
Who will not gladly own
Life, oh, what rapture were,
Though blessed with her alone.
Then who'll not drink the toast
To which my glass l lift
Here's She we love tie most
Here's "Woman-God's best gift"
The heathens feigned that he
Who stole from heaven its fame
FOretold all woes would be
When sweet Pandora came;
But all his wisdom taught.
Thank Heaven it taught in vain;
She to mans heart was caught,
And ne'er released again.
And who'll not drink the toast
10 which my glass l lift :"
Here's She we love the most"
Here's "Woman-God's best gift"
In Paradise man found
I1lS lOt uOt VLOlly OleSSeu
Until its blissful ground
Dear woman's footsteps pressed;
Gods mercy how he blessed
When forced its bliss to leave!
He Eden still possessed
While with him went his Eve.
Then who ii not drink the toast
To which my glass l lift
Here's She we love the most"
Here's WOman-GOd's best gift"
And stilllthe curse she takes
From man, for she alone
With her dear presence makes
An Eden still his own;
Oh. what were this life worth,
How poor and dull it were,
Unless the weary earth
Were made heaven by her.
Then who'll not drink the toast
To which my glass lift:
Here's "She we love the most"
Here's Woman-God's best gift"

The Baby.

Another little wave
Upon the sea of life;
Another soul to save.
Amid its toll and strife.
Two more little feet
To walk the dusty road;
To choose where two paths meet,
The narrow, or the broad.
Two more little hands
To work for good or i'll;
Two more little eyes;
An other little will.
Another heart to love,
Receiving love again;
And so the baby came,
A thing Of JOY and pain.

Of his stock Of vehicles was sent to Herk-

clearing out the place 40 old time sleigh
was brought to light, the like of which
probably does not exist in the United

ten. It is . two.horse sleigh, which an
old gentleman, who yesterday showed it
to Us, remembered to have seen on Chest
nut street, then far from new, when he
was boy.
The runners, instead Of being parallel,
and terminating in gracefulswan's necks,
as is the case at the present day, meet in
a point in front, which point was sur
mounted by large sized monkeys head,
in solid wood, grotesquely carved, broad
~ grinning, and furnished with . flowing
beard. The runners Of the d,time
sIeighs spread two feet farthsr behind
than in the front, ike the beams Of har.
row. The drivers seat is stool elevated
four feet above the other seats, with an
iron rail around i. for the feet to rest up
on. The back is circular and very lofty.
Four seats are furnished in the back,
where but two arc furnished in the mod
ern sleigh. The dash board is very wide,
and shaped like feather fan. None but
our oldest citizens ever saw such vehi--
Gle. 1t belonged at one time, to a lordly
family of Philadelphia, and is fair match
for the carriage at the Sanitary Fair in
which General Washington rode. At the
time Of the fair the existence Of this relic
Of by gone splendor was not known.

ShOddy at the Oera.

The New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Inquirer writes: A great
sensation was created at the Opera House,
last evening, by the appearance of two
persons in the rarquette, who were, by
common consent, recognized as :he very
incarnation; par excellence, of shoddy
aud petroleum. The lsdy's head dress
was all ablsze with gold and precious
stones. The diamonds alone are estiua
ted at O,0OO, while the other valuables,
on her opera cloak, etc, could not be
worth much less than 10000 more.
Her male companion, likewise, was a
spectacle for gods aud men. His magni.
6ceut white satin vest had email row Of
buttons, and in every button was sprsk.
ling diamond. Cravat and wristbands
were likewise set off with gems of the
richest and rarest description. The pair,
in short, seemed to have on their pre-
cious persons the entire contents Of some

don't know who they were. Nobody
seemed to know who they were. They
did not occupy conspicuous places in the
dress circle, but sat so near the orches-
ira that the Big Fiddle and the Little
Fiddle at timea were quite distracted;
harmony was lost in amazement, and had
Orpheus himself been in the orchestra,
looking for Eurydice, question whether
he would not have been tempted to drop
his Tyre to look on the god and goddess
Of Petrolis, sitting in gli,teripg state
before him. Their majesties, as if to

Academy at the end of the fourth act,
taking care to make almost the entire
circuit of the parquette before shaking
its dust from the soles of their feet.

These Mighty Healers, World known an.
World Tried, are q Boon to the Sick

The want of a sterling medicinal to meet the
ills and necessities of the suffering portion of
humanity, and one entirely free from mineral
and other deeterious PARTICLES, was severely felt
till this all powerful medicine was ushered into
the world; HoLLowAYs INVALUABLE PILLS have
become the HOUSEHOLD REMEDY of all Nations
Their attribute is to PREVENT as well "a to CURE;
they attack the RADIX OR ROOT of the complaint,
and thus. by removing the hidden cause of dis
ease, re-invigorate and restore the dropping en-
ergies of the system, assisting nature in her task
of VITAL and FUNCTIoNARY REFORMATION.
