cerning their situation. The red colored
and parched soil that has greeted our
eyes for long distance, is now chang
ed to that susceptible Of cultivation.
We are informed the State of California
lies before us. In order to make port
the succeeding day the distance to run
will be greater than usual I; but our no.
BILE steamer is equal to the task, and
the mighty engines urge us forward with
redo1bled speed. The most excitement
that is gotten up on board, is to estimate
the distance run. Each day at meridian
the ships bulletin board, on which are
recorded the official figures of latitude
and longitude of our position and the
distance run every twenty-four hours is
put up, Seal Rock, the abode of seals is
near at hand, and one playful fellow

gust as he popped out of sight. Far
ahead white sandy point can be perceiv-
ed partially hidden by fog is spoken of
as indicating the place of entrance to the
Golden Gate. The deck is filled with
the eager passengers watching every
point and turn our vesse, is making.
All at once the steamer begins to roll at
fearful rate as We pass over the bar and
soon we enter the Golden Gate. After
passing between two strong forts the city
of San Francisco lies before us and many
a countenance beams with joyful hope OF
meeting friends. Hundreds of persons
are assembled on the wharf to greet our
arrival. On looking at our watches we
find they have gained some three hours
and twenty minut since leaving the
Green Mountain State.
With this imperfect description of a

GOOD ADVICE FROM A WORKING
MANS ORGAN.-Workmen complain that
they have nothing to do; citizens grum-
bic because they cannot have their
wishes attended to. Three weeks ago
gentleman hired an office twelve feet
square. The cleaning, painting and fit
ting with CRATE and gas-pipes might have
been done in forty-eight hours. As yet
he has succeeded in the carpentry, the
grate.setting and hole through the wall
for the gas-pipe. The carpenter comes,
looks at the room, estimates and retires.
Next day he comes again, with an assis-
tant, reaching the premises at nine,
working leismely till noon, the assistant
pleasantly whistling meanwhile. The
rest of the day he spends where the
woodbine twineth, or somewhere else
at all events nothing more is seen of him
until the following day, when he majes-
tically appears at two, and reluctantly
remains till four. The mason, with
boy to look on, pursues a similar pro-
gramme, and the grate-setter approaches
his work as though he were granting an
entirely undeserved favor to an undoubt-
edly worthless party. The painter, i'm
mersed in politics, prefers to 10 k for
larger jobs, AMI, after three days disap-
pointings, is dismissed, another, with q
boy to lpok on. being engaged. A wom-
an, poor and iorlorn, is rendered the work
OF scrubblng and cleaning; but, after
mature deliberation, declines because the
place is too dirty. So they go. Is it
any wouder that the times are hard? Is
it astonishing that employers are exact
ing? There are Two sides to every bar
gain. Give and take is the only sure
motto; and if the trades union people Of
the country desire the respect and conf
dence of their fellow-citiZens, they must
attend to their work as faithfully as 9TH
ers are expected to, and perform with
exactness their half of the bargain.
There is great deal of unnecessary de-
lay and a vast amount of useless and
vexatious dilly-dallying in the present
.node of what they are pleased to call
work.-New York Star.

towns ! had beheld springing up. Al
my ears listened TO the laundering Of
cannon, clashing Of swords, and shouts
and cries of the millions in mortal COM
bat, again heard the mysterious voice
sayiug--"Son Of the Republic look and
learn"
When the voice had ceased, the dark
shadowy angel placed his trumpet once
more to his mouth, and blew long and
fearful blast.
Instantly as from thousand suns,
shone down from above me, and pierced
and broke into fragmentsthe dark cloud
which enveloped America. the same
moment saw the angel upon whose fore
head still shone the word Union, and
who bore our national flag in one hand
and a sword in theother, descended from
Heaven, attended by legions of bright
spirits. These Immediately joined the
inhabitantsof America, who, / perceived
taking courage again, closed up their
broken ranks and renewed the battle
Again amid the fearful noise of the con-
fiict heard mysterious voice saying
Son of the Republic, look and learn"
As the voice ceased, the shadowy an
gel, for the last time, dipped water from
the ocean and sprinkled it on America.
Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, to-
gether with the armies it had brought,
leaving the inhabitants of the land VIC
torious. Then once more l beheld the
villages, towns and cities springing up
where they had been before, while the
bright angel, planting the azure stand
ard he had brought in the midst of them
cried in loud voice SO the Inhabitants:
While the stars r.main and the heav-
ems send down dew upon the earth, SO
long shall the Republic last
And taking from his brow the crown,
on which still blazed the word Union.
he placed it upon the standard. while all
the people, kneeling down, said, "Amen!'
The scene instantly began 10 fade and
dissolve and at last saw nothing but
the rising curling white vapor had first
beheId. This also disappearing, found
myself once more gazing upon my mys-
ferrous visitor, who IN the same myste-
rious voice | had heard before said:
:" Son of the Republic, what you have
seen is thus interpreted Three perils will
come upon the Republic The most fear
iul is the second, passing which the whole
world united shall never be able to pre-
vail against her. Let every child Of the
Republic learn to live ior his God, his
Land and Union"
With these words the figure vanished.
started from my seat, and felt that /
had been shown the birth, progress and
destiny Of the Republic of the United
States. Disunion will be her destruc-
ton"
''Such my friends" concluded the ven.
cradle narrator, were the words /
heard from Washington's own lips, and
America will do well to profit by them.
Let her remember that in the Union she
has her strength, in Disunion her des-
truction.'

IcE.-In gathering ice, be sure there
is deep bed of straw to place the first
layer upon. Wheat chaf is said to be
excellent. The object being to bed the
ice upon a non-conductor of heat, which
will let the water pass off freely. Cut
tie cakes as even as possible, so that lit
tie space will be wasted by chinks =
brush the cracks full of ice chips and
dust. free from dirt, especially around
the sides. The more solidly ice is pack
ed upon the sides, which are exposed to
thawing the better.

w ashington's Vision.

THE WAR OF 1872 AND OF 1861 REVEALED
TO HIM-ANoTHER WAR IN 1877.
The last time | ever saw Anthony
Sherman was on the 4th Of July, in 1049
in Independence Square. He was then
ninety one and becoming very feeble;-
but though 50 old, his dimming eyes re-
kindled as he looked at Independence
Hall, which, he said he had come to gaze
upon once more before he was gathered
home.
What time is it?" said be raising
his trembling eyes to the clock in the
steeple, and endeavoring TO shade the
former with trembling hand. What
time is it can't see so we'll as / used
to-"
Half-past three"
"Come then," he continued, ",et us 60
into the Hall l want to tell you an in
cident in Washington's life-one which
no one alive knows of except myself
and if you live you will before long see
it verified. Mark me, am not supersti.
tious, but you will see it verified"
Reaching the visitors rooms, in which
the sacred relics of our early days are
preserved, we sat down upon one of the
old-fashioned wooden benches, and my
venerable friend related to me the fol
lowing narrative, which from the pecu
liarity of our national affairs at the pres
ent time, l have been induced to give tc
the world. give it as nearly as posi-
BILE in his own words:
"When the bold action of our Con
gress in asserting the independence o.
the colonies, became known in the worlc
we were laughed at and scoffed at as sill
| ly, presumptous rebels, whom the British
grenadiers would tame into submission
but undauntedly, we prepared to mak'
good what we said. The keen encountel
ame, and the wor d knows the result
1t is easy and pleasant for those of tn,
present generation to talk and write o
he days of rs, but they little know
a iiher can they imagine the trials anc
suharings of those fearful days. AnC
there is one thing | much fear and tina
is, that the American people do not prop
erly appreciate the boon OF freedom :
Party spirty is becoming stronger, an'
unless it is checked, will at no distan
day, undermine aud tumble into ruin th,
noble spiritof the Republic. But let MI
hasten to my narrative.
From the opening Of the Revolution
we experienced all phases of fortune
now good and now i'll at one time vic
torious, at another conquered. The dark
est period we had, however, was, thinl
when Washington, after several reverse
retleated to Valley Forge; where he re
solved to pass the winter of ~. All!
have often seen the tears coursing dow
our dear old commanders care-worl
cheek as he would be conversing with ,
confidential officer about the condition
of his poor soldiers. You have doubt
less heard the story of Washington 60
ing to the thicket to pray. Well, it i
not only true, but he used often to pral
in secret for aid and comfort from God
the interposition of whose divine provi
dence brought us safely through thos
dark days Of tribulatian.
One day-I remember well-the chill
ly wind whistled aud howled through
the leahess trees, though the sky wal
