Sometimes walked it, singing and sometimes raved

He handsome youth, wore better clothes than 1,
His father too, richest, though owned the sky
And all the bOunteOus fields of earth my freehold seemed
What foolish, wild, delicious dreams light heart dreamed
You we're your pretty hair just you wear it now.
Evenly parted smoothly. bright against the brow:
When see double headed girls, of these fast days,
think OF your fresh attire and modest ways.
And you seventeen, that heavenly summer day
You stood beside me, lily-ke in pure array;
God made my heart that hour sealed ami sacred
Wherein evil plant weed, cankered should bloom
O, years, dear wife, and not virtue less
In glance, tone, SMILE tender fond caresS
You still are little Bessie when shut my eyes
The wheh patient, comey old saintship dies
And you are young again-and this wedding hour
Only the winsome bud has changed TO wInsOme flower
And thus twill be- dear Bessiewhen shall our eyes,
And clasp young hands, kiss young lips beyond the skies

A California Widow.

"To be in love, and, at the same time, to
act wisely, is scarcely within the power of
god, wrote one Of the prOfoundest OF the
Greek philosophers. No one who has either
experienced or studied the phenomena of pas
si6nal infatuation will dispute the truiSm and
hence there is a flavor of original genius in
that love affair which develOpes anything akin
to common sense in either party. The Pacific
coast, ever favorable under Yankee auspices,
to the growth of new things under the sun,
deserves credit for the possession of woman
who, in the very height of the grand folly, has
proved herself capable of the most business
like calculation, and demanded security of her
husband elect for his good behavior She is,
or was, handsome widow of twenty-throe
summers and, in her round of the best CalifOr-
man society, was introduced to a rich widower
of thirty eight, who 81 once selected her in his
own mind as a suitable step-mother for his
four children. Mutual friends recommended
them to each other, the gentlemen lost no time
in pressing his suit, and, after a decorous peri
cd of consideration, the charming widow was
persuaded into an engagement. Two weeks
rolled on, and even the day of the wedding had
been named, when the lady suddenly announc.
ed change in her mind, and turned cold to
the ardent wooer. She loved him well enough,
she said, but had daccidentally learned something
union. She, for her own part, was not going
to be starved almost to death and kept without
dollar; and she had resolved that she would
not marry him, unless he would give her lega
security, to the extent of several thousand dol
lars, which she could obtain :" i'll case anything
should happen" Upon being informed of thi
unromantic resolution the enamOred widowe
applauded its shrewdness, and said that h
would at once make will, bequeathing three
thousand dollars to the lady in case of hi
death. But this would not do for the clear
headed woman. He might revoke will, ant
then where would be her security? ThrougI
an attorney, she insisted upon a promiss0r
note for the amount named, and the fond wild
over, finding that it was plainly a case of hi
money, or his wife, yielded the point and Sc

The New "London Times" Printing
Machine.

AS the construction of the first steam news
paper machine was due to the enterprise ct the
late Mr.. Walter, 50 the construction Of the last
and most improved machine is due in like maIr-
ner to the enterprise of his son. The new
" Walter Machine is not, like the Cowpcrs
and Applegarth's S and Hoe $, the Improvement
OF an existing arrangement, but an almost en-
tirely original invention. Its principal merits are
its simplicity, its accurate workmanship, its
compactness, its speed, and its economy. While
each of the ten feeder Hoe machine orcupirS u
large and lofty room, and requires Is men TO
feed and work it, the new W alter machine nc-
cupies a space OF about ii by 5, or less than
any newspaper machine yet introduced, and
only requires three lads to take away, with half
the attention of an OvGrSeer, who easily super.
intends two of the machines while at work.
The Hoe machine turns out 1000 Impressions
printed on both sides in the hour; but the
| Walter machine turns out | 600 impressions
completed in the same time.
! The new machine does not in the least re-
semble any existing printing machine, unless
! it be the calendering machine, which has pms
sibly furnished the type oft. At the printing
end it looks like collection of small cylinders
or rollers. The paper mounted on huge reels
as it comes from the paper mill, goes in at one
end in an endless web Of $500 yards in length,
seems to fly through among the cylinders, and
rents of sheets, accurately cut into lengths, and
printed on both sides. The rapidity with
which it works may be inferred from the fact
that the printing cylinders (around which the
Stereotyped plates are fixed while making their
impressions on the paper, travel at the surpriS-
ing speed of POO revolutions minute
As the sheet passes inward, it is first d2mp-
ed on one side by being carried rapidly over
a cylinder which revOlves in trough Of cold
| water; it then passes on to the first pair Of
printing and impressing cylinders, where it is
t printed on one side; it is next reversed and
sent through the other pair where it is printed
, on the other side then it passes on to the cut
5 ting cylinder, which divides the web Of now
printed paper into proper lengths. The sheets
are rapidly conducted by tapes in a swing
; frame, which, as it vibrates, delivers them al
ternately on either side in two apparently CON
0 tinuOus streams of sheets which are rapidly
thrown forward from the frame by rocker,
, and deposited on the tables at which the lads
sit to receive them

A SACRAMENTO INvgNrION.-We were
shown yesterday BY the inventor, A.
Averill, of this city, the model of an
improvement in propelling apparatus
recently patented BY him. 1t may be
worked by either steam or hand, and
seems to be well adapted to the purpose
for which it was designed. The inven-
ton may be briefly described by com
pairing it to the method of operating
hand-car on a railroad, lever being
used to work the segment of wheel
gearing with a pinion which operates
crank shaft, and by means of connect.
ing rods swings upright paddie-arms
with force and precision. Thus, if the
machinery were attached to rowboat,
oars could be dispensed with and great
ly increased power of propulsion used
by simply working the lever up and
down. The merit of the invention lies
chiefly in the paddles, the Improvements
in feathering them. and the devices for
operating them. The paddles are in the
shape of an oblong square. The arms
to which they are attached are so con-
structed that, by an ingenious, simple
and effective device, the paddles strike
the water squarely and firmly, and with
force but as soon as the
reverse motion commences, they swing
freely, by means of pivots, and are
drawn through the water edgewise, thus
obviating in a great degree the resist
ance of friction. Byreversing the slides,
which may be done in moment, the
vessel can be propelled in the other di.
rection. The invention appears to be
practical, and one likely to
come into useful operation.-Sacramento
Union.
Something like the "water veloci-
pedes" in use in the Eastern cities, we
suppose.
