years. Deceased came to California in 1850,

New World last evening for San Fran
cisco, where they no doubt intend to
spend the honeymoon. Some incidents
on the boat were pathetic. The young

patted her cheeks, played with her ear
rings, raised her veil slyly and then
would drop it again, held candy in his
mouth which she would bite from, while
the two cast at each other the most
amorous and languishing glsnces, all
regardless Of the giggling Of ladies and
laughter Of men, who were witnesses Of
their innocent proceedings. After these
tender and csressiug endearments had
gone on for some time, the stewardess
offered them . state-room, which they
departedfor, thereby dropping the cur
tain on outsiders before eight o'clock"

for his questions hat he had been in
doubt whether to make his son a sculp-
tor or q carpenter, aud he added, that he
had now determined to learn his son 10

VERY SWEET AND DEAR.-Ths Old
Flag has become very near and dear t.
q certain class Of politicians, within q
year or two past. Jim Hardy, in San
Francisco, recently, on the occasion of
presenting a flag to Charley DeLonS, on
the eve Of his departure to Japan, made
a most slobbering and sicksning speech
about the " glorious Stars and Stripes"
This was in 1869. In 1861, in the town
of San Audreas, Calaveras county, CAL,
some time after the rebellion had broken
out, this same Jim Hardy, who was
then q District Judge, called the flag
"a n old woman's rag" How kind and
clever some men are sometimes after a
good thrashing. During the long years
of the rebellion, the Grass Valley Ma
tiOnal, Nevada County, CAL, was a ram
pant, Copperhead-secesh paper-and, of
course, never spoke a kind word for the
flag nor those who were fighting under
it. But the glorious Old Flag and its
cause triumphed over all its enemies,
the world over, and now is the sweet
emblem of Liberty in the world to some
OF the very men who deserted it in it,
hour Of need. They had a little cleo
ton over in California the other day,
aud elected a few Judges, and among
them, in the District composed of Ne
vada and Placer counties, was Que Rear
don, who was nothing bu. g seeesh
politician in Virginia City in 1868 and
Ca regular broom ranger. Jus. read
the following hypocritieal chant on the
result and to the flag, from the National:
"0uR FLAG Is STILL THERE m-we no.
tice that to-day the "Old Flag"-so dear to
the heart Of every true lover OF American
Libcrty-is now waving in triumph over
Grass Valley from the masthead on Main
street, heralding the "glad tidings' of the
victory which the yeomanry of this land have
achieved over the hosts Of Mongol Cheap
Labor, Negro Equality and Universal Broth
erhood. The starry banner Of the Free,
since Yesterday, seems to have expanded
about Ihyee thousand feet beyond its former
dimensions-and now enwraps beneath its
ample folds the entire county Of Nevada, and
a goodly portion-if not the entire area-of
our sister, Placer. Thrice hail to thee, "Old
Glory" Reardon is elected.

THE HOME OF WILLIS.

A gentleman friend who has just com.
pletet his pilgrimage to I~dlewild, writes
the following beautiful description to
the Home Journal:
|. Cornwall, lying as it does, at the
northern base of the Storm.King, is sur.
rounded by a series of hills and beautiful
meadows, diversified by knolls and
woodlands, and fine views on every side
tempt the sojourner to drive or ramble.
The Mecca here is Idlewild, the late resi-.
dence of the poet, N. P. Willis, where
all genius.w0rshiping pilgrims weud
their way.
As you enter the gate, on tho left o.
the carriage road, is a thickly.wooded,
deep %ravine, about a third Of q mile in
length, aud varying from one hundred
to one hundred and fifty feet in depth,
known rs the Glen. Along its entire
length are winding paths.
In its bed flows q small stream-now
tumbling 10 cascades over broken rocks
flowing quietly in the deep shade, and
finally out into the meadows, where 1t
joins Moodna Creek. In Mr.. Willis
time q number of pretty rustic bridges
crossed this trsam, but the spring fresh
cts have since swept some of them away,
and they have not been rebuilt. On q
bank midway down this ravins, is q TO-
mantle, picturesque nook, called the
"Poet's Chair" This "Chair" Is
formed by a stone placed between the
trunks of three trees. Here the rasine
below widens into a basin, and through
a frame of oYer-arehiug boughs, when
the stream Is swollen, you have q per-
feet view Of tho cascades foaming over
rocks piled up in the wildes. confusion.
From this spot a path, earpetsd with
softest moss, and cool With the dewy
freshness of many, rills trickling down
the prscipitous side5 leads to the bot
tom of the glen. The stream here widcns
into deep, still pools; Undiscovered
rocks and boulders jut out from the
almost perpendicular sides, and scarcely
a ray of sunshine penetrates the thick
shade. Truly,
"Here Is the solemn shade,
Serdnre, and gloom, where many branches meet,
SO grateful when tho noon OF summer makes
The valley sick with heat"
The Willis mansion stands upon o
plateau adjoining the Glen, looking
forth upon the river and the opposite
mountains Of the Fishkill range. With
its exterior-its Gothic roof, pleasant
v%erandas, and vine embowered windows
almost every one is familiar. 1t is
now owned by Counsellor George, Of
Eeuburg, but occupied this season by
o. A. Murdoch; Esq, President Of the
Continental Bank, New York.

FALSE FRIENDS.

One Of the most troublesome diff
in tho way Of q person who de-
sires to relinquisha bad habit, is found
in the obstacles which are thrown in
his way by his former companions
Even those who style themselves friends
to take q strange pleasure in
defeating reform, or in pe~rpetuating
habits Of intsmpsrancs. There are
some persons whose boast it is that
they can get drunk with impunity.
They are not made absolutely helpless
or ridieulously foolish BY their pota-
tons. In the slang Of the pot-house,
they are said to be able to "carry more
than any other mau. Their pride seems
to be in tempting the weak to : trial Of
strength in their not very elevated d.
rection.
But, whether it be strength to live 10
such a condition Of constant stupidity
that the force Of whisky can no far
Their 60" in Supplying them, 10 hardly
a question. The habitual hard drinker
has wasted his strength, and what
would iutoxiSate another man is neces-
sary to him to bring his mental and
bodily faculties up to working order.
If this be strength, it is certainly
strength more closely allied to weak
ness than great wit is to madness. The
man who fanciss he can take huge and
strong rotations with impuuity is really
under continual punishmeut-a prisoner
for life. And it is the worst Of cruelty
and wickedness in him to strive to
reduce others, and those, too, for whom
he processes friendship, to the same
condition.
We have often been shocked and
panied at the importantly with which
many people thoughtlessly, if not ma
liciously, press drink upon those who
would be glad to let it alone. Taunting,
ridicule and every form of persuasion
are employed to prevent the reformation
Of struggling men, who are conscious oil
their weakness, and would be heartily
glad to rise above it. "Good fellow.
ship" as it is called, is the worst kind
Of bad fellowship. He is little better
morally than a murderer, who forces in.
~toxicating drinks upon reluctant lips
or who, while the will TO refrain needs
support, throws his influence upon the
side of temptation.
The poor inebriate, who has not credit
to procure q dinner, finds no difficulty
in getting drink. Men who would re-
fuse him a sixpence for bread, or who
would stare if he asked for a small
loan for his necessities, will furnish him
q dram without the asking, and even
urge it upon him. Thus We see penny
less drunkards continually under the
besotting influence Of liquor; and mer
without q doit consuming drink the
price OF which would support a family
Whoever knows his own infrmity ough'
to regard the man who ministers to il
as an enemy ; and if he cannot preserv.
the semblsnce of friendship at q lesi
price than hi, W happiness and res
p~ectability, cast of the pretended
claims of such friendship at nee aus
forever. Tho man who thinks he car
indulge is no fit companion for him who
knows that he cannot.
