gagements Mr.. i. Vincent has found IL
impossible to devote the time and a,ton-
ton requisite to have tho drawing in his

April, A. d., 1871. The treasurer assures
tho ticket holders that If by any chance
the drawing should not take place on the
day now designated he will pay back to
the holders the amount ofther tickets with
6 per cent. interest from the date of the

The undersigned have no hesitation in
| expressing their belief that under the ar
rangcments made by Mr.. Vincent, the

A HAPPY WoMAN.-Wha hat spectacle more pleas
ing does the earth afford than happy woman
contented in her sphere, ready at all times to
benefit her little world by her exertions, and
Transforming the briars and thorns OF life into
roses of Paradise by the magic of her touch
There are those who are thus happy, because
they cannot help it,-no misfortunes dampen
their sweet smiles, and they difuse a cheerful
glow around them as they pursue the even ten
or of their way. They have the secret OF con-
tentment, whose value is above the philosopher
stone; for without seeking the baser exchange
of gold, which may buy some sorts OF pleasure,
they convert everything they touch iuto joy
What their condition is makes no difference
They may be rich or poor, high or low, admired
or forsaken by the fckle world but the spark
ling fountain OF happiness bubbles up in their
hearts, and makes them radiantly beautiful
Though they live in log cabin, they make il
shine with a lustre that kings and queens may
covet, and they make wealth fountain of bless

EARTHQUAKES AND RAILROADS. Californis

EARTHQUAKES AND RAILRoADs.-The California
rapers are aitribnting the recent earthquake in
that State TO the railroads. A Mr.. Stewart, Of
San Jose, had been occurring on earthquakes just
before this one came, and had advanced the the
Dries that instead Of being caused by internal
forces they the result of electric currents
moving on the earth's surface, and that iron rail
road tracks are conductors of the electricity that
CT. uses them. Mr. Stewart thinks that the Pacific
and other railroads have done valuable service
for California by distributing the earthquake
forces of that State over the continent, by which
tue danger and intensity of the sh 0cks are lessen
ed. One would naturally suppose that the
Sc 7erity OF the shocks which Immediately follow
ed the delivery o; Mr.. Stewards lecture would
have shaken the faith Of those who accepted his
theories. By,t they not severe encugh to dc
that. U,.s -;aS costFssry j. urs-d that exactly
the atmospheric condition required TO oring two
electric currents together then existed, and their
contact created the earthquake.
1t is further said that the shock was felt all
along the lines of the railroads from Oakland to
Winnemucca, and that of the line Of the rail-
way any considerable distance there was either
no perceptible shock or very slight one. But
The fact on which Mr.. Stewart supporters main
ly RELY to substantiate his opinions is that San
Francisco, which stands on very quaky ground,
and is notorious for its shaky spells, iu this case
almost entirely escaped, receiving no shock sufi-
cient to cause alarm, though at Oakland there
was a startling one which lasted minute. Itis
also said that Sacramento never felt an earth
quake that was not more severly felt at San
Francisco until the railroad track was laid ; and
that since the railroad has been built there have
been four other earthquakes on its line none Of
which reached San Francisco. The inference
drawn from all this is that the railroads have
saved San Francisco by distributing the earth
quake through the interior

RIDING A NIGHTM4 IRE.

1t stood at my bed at midnight
AS started up in alright,
From hideous dream that had troubled
The sleep of restless night.
By the moonlight in the window
| could gaze at the spectral steed.
And see that it wore the aspect
Of the genuine nightmare breed.
Its hide was all black and shaggy.
Great ears loorned up on its head.
It's nostrils were wide distended
And its eye was glaring and red.
But my nerves gave double shyar,
And my heart began to quail,
As / saw in the gloom up bristle
The length of its meteor tail.
moment lay and shuddered,
At the phantom steed by my side,
And then with desperate courage.
Resolved on a midnight ride.
For by the rule that works both ways
It s nothing more than fair
If one has been ridden by nightmares,
In his turn to ride a nightmare.
No time in delay was wasted,
Or left for my courage to sink,
And so without bride or stirrup.

Ii pranced and it kicked and snsrted.
And stuck up its ears and tail,
And bounded out of the window,
Where the moon shone misty aud pale
Away it shot like a rocket,
Over hill and valley and crag

The cold sweat stood on my forehead,
And smothered a hundred screams,
AS it dashed on its fearful journey,
And plunged thro' the forest streams.
On the verge of cliff it halted,
And then in the space of a wink,
Into the gulf without bottom
1t sprang with me over the brink.
Down, down We sank into darkness,
Which draped the abyss like pail,
Down, down with a plunge so fearful,
That my breath was lost in the fall.

AS downward we swooped and whirrea,
And tried to ell in my horror,
But could rot utter a word.
For while my demon charger
With wild and dizzing sweep,
Pitched and plunged in the darkness,
Through that hideous and unknown deep
Then round ard round in a epiral,
And upward and upward it swept.
Far up above cliff andsmountain,
It's moonward course it it kept.
As straight as the tail of comet,
It's tail streamed out on the air.
And queked and gasped and shuddered
AS l clung to its shaggy hair.
At last as it swooped thro' cloudland.
In struggling to utter yell,
lost my grasp on its foretop,
In the wildness of terror ard iell.
Fell down and down till my senses
All swan, and all feeling had fed,
And the next | knew / was lying
Awake and exhausted in bed.
The moonlight shone in the window.
And heard the tick of the clock,
But my nerves were all in a shiver,
And my heart still jumped with the shock
Oh I'd rather straddle Centaur
Hippograff. Sea horse or rail,
Ride Pegasus through all his antics,
Or swing at a meteor tail,-
Than again mount that spectral charger
Which stood that night by my side,
And chill my blood with the horror
Of another such hideous ride.

To galop me low and high,
