PENN'S ESCAPE.

Mr.. Judkns the Librarian of the Massa-
chusetts Historical Society, in overhauling a
chest of old papers deposited in the archives
of that body by the late Robert Greenleaf, of
Maiden, has recently made curious dis
covery which has especial interest for the
people of Pennsylvania Among these pa
pcrs was one of ancient date which bore
this Endorsement: Eye scheme to bagge
Pennc." This curious title attracted the at
tention Of Mr.. Judkins, and he examined the
contents of the document with more than
common interest 1t is the familiar and
quaint handwriting of the Rev. Cotton Mather
and is addressed to ''Ye aged and beloved
Mr.. John Higginson." 1t bears date, ''Sep-
odd spelling of the original being followed to

VERY FAR AWAY.

Surprising Southern mountain snow,
That to far sails the dying light
Lends. where the dark ships onward 6,
Upon the golden highway broad
That leads up to the isles of God.
One touch of light more magic yet,
of rarer snow meath moon or star,
Where, with her graceful sails all set,
Some happy vessels seen afar,
AS if in an enchanted sleep,
Steers DER the tremulous silyered deep,
O ship! 0 sail far must ye be
Ere CLEANS like that upon We light,
Oer golden spaces Of the sea,
From mysteries of the lucent night,
Such touch comes never TO the boat
Wherein across the waves we float.

And flying on before us shine
Upon some distant bark We choose.

CALIFORNIA.

Going to California; was once considered
as mounting a sure ladder to the very dome
of Dame Fortunes temple. Visions of enor-
NOUS wealth were rife in the minds of the
ambitious, and adventurous people We're
ready to encounter all kinds Of peril to once
feast their eyes on the famous Eldorado.
But, unfortunately, as in the past, 50 at the
present day. these anticipations OF sudden
riches turn out to be the merest vagaries,
with now and then. perhaps, the realization
of something more substantial in the shape Of
the coveted metal. For one prize there are
innumcrable blanks. Mr. George Howard,
of this city, has Just returned from brief
visit to the Golden State, and gives very
interesting yet sorrowtul account OF the con-
dition Of many Eastern men there who are
able to barely make a living by the most
servle and unhealthy labor, OF cannot obtain
employment at all. The mining business
seems to be the poorest business Il man can
engage in Successful mining being carried
on wholly by wealthy companies, the COM
mon laborer must 90 down into the immense
shaft, hundreds of feet below the earth's sur
face, where, stripped of all clothing, naked to
the waist, he tolls with some two OF three
hundred others, among the deadly gases of
the place, all the light obtained coming from
torches planted at intervals along its sides.
To the natural foulness Of the atmosphere is
added the insufferablc stencil Of the ignited
powder when a blast is made No Maine
man would engage in such = pursuit at home
for almost any wages. Mr. Howard speaks
Of the agricultural features Of the country in
the most glowing terms. All along the Pa
cic slopes fruits abound in greatest profu-
sion-oranges, grapes, bananas and tropical
productions generally, which present a tan
talizing appearance as one passes by on the
steamer within their view, and inhales their
delightful fragrance. Happy country, not
wlthstanding an occasional earthquake, but
not exactly the place for an Eastern man we'll
disposed at home. AS Mr.. Howard entered
the steamer on his return home, he left two
men who had made the outward trip on the
same conveyances with him, seated on the
wharf, and weeping bitterly because they
could not return, being out OF money, unable
to obtain work, and completely discouraged
at the dismal prospect before them. 1t would
be well for one to look about him, and con-
slider the advantages to be derived from liv-
ing in q civilized section, ere risking the un-
certainties of a semi-barbarous lite in the Cal
ifornia mines. Lewiston journal.
