The Yosemite Valley.

OF all the great sights in the natural
scenery of the world, there are none which
surpass in grandeur and beauty the at
fractions which the Yosemite Valley af-
fords, and which only the last few years
have disclosed to the appreciation Of an
admiring people. No one can furnish any
accurate idea to another of the wonderful
sights which nature has slowed away in
this far-famed region. Even the traveller,
who, face to face, looks upon ALL needs
days and days to fully comprehend and
realize the marvellous scenes upon which
his eyes rest. For comparison allow us to
remark that the great fall of Niagara is
but 163 feet high; what think you, then,
of the Bridal Veir' as it falls all glitter
ing and foaming, all swaying in the wind
from distance Of $50 feet above you
Then there is Ell Captain, "a solid, seam
less, cream-white mass Of rock shining as
though cut out of ivory" which towers
$500 feet into the air-you cannot imagine
at all how grand and impressive it must
be2 The Valley is full Of mountains and
cascades, the highest Of the former ext end
ing skywards over mile, and among the
latter the Sentinel Falls plunging earth
ward from an altitude Of 9, 1000 feet GO ,2SO
feet constituting mile.) The Yosemite
was given by the United States to Califor-
MIA, for a grand National Park---and is
eight miles long by two wide. Through
it roars the Merced River, which, as it
reaches El Captain, grows all hushed and
quiet as if from very awe, and then, as if
powerless to do otherwise, shows the Great
Chief how beautiful he is by rejecting his
image from her truthful eyes. We might
proceed and devote column after column
to description of this beautiful Valley,
and yet never repeat ourselves save in ad-
jectiyes,-but the account would be at
least feeble, the ideas given but very faint
for words seem to US inadequate 10 at
all express what we feel or tho subject
demands.

"But say said the old gentleman,

And before Mary could answer he had the
book open, and was closely comparing the
family register with a memorandum he
had taken from his pocket.
"Quite right' he muttered to himself.
/" Now, then, he resumed-eI'ye most
unpleasant piece of news to tell, and may
as well out with it.
Mary trembled still more violently.
Possibly James had been found with the
pocket-book in his possession, and charged
with stealing it.

his will, duly forwarded to me, and in
which am named as executor, the bulk
OF his fortune is left to his nephew, your
husband, of whom, it seems, he had some
how gained intelligence
Mary was too much agitated fully to
comprehend the gentleman's statement.
She waited for him to continue.

was all Mary could answer.
You ,oM soon," he returned "The
wills lost! Now you may think that
makes but little difference, seeing the CON
tents are known, which only proves how
little women know of law. A will has
no effect till its proved, which it can't
very well be without being produced.

it. Well, it was through my own stupid

james described it, stating accurately
the amount Of money in it.
Confound the money!" interrupted
the othcr-"were there any papers?"
A sealed packet and some memoran

soon see for yourself that everything i
all right. | have just placed the pocket
book and its contents in the hands of q
reliable person, to be taken care of till the
owner is discovered"
Huzza !" cried the lawyer, tossing VI
his hat. You're an honest fellow, anC
deserve your good luck"
When few words of explanation haC
enabled James to comprehend the alusior
to his luck, he blushed little at the com
pliment to his honesty, which he felt wa
more due to Mary than himself, and ther
turned pale as he reflected that, but fo
her unswerving sense of right, his owl
hand would have committed to the fame
the means Of raising to afiluence, from tn,
depth of want, those for whom he woult
have perilled life, and had so nearly per
illed honor.
The pocket-book and contents wer,

Growing Glover too Close.

It is sometimes objected to clover that
it is too coarse as feed--this being the ease
where il is grown on strong ground, max
ing large stalk. This can be relnedicd
by sowing thick, and thus getting q fine
stemmed crop, also shorter in length, the
stalks varying from fifteen to twenty-five
inches, according to the quality Of he
land, the season, and whether plaster has
been used, but the point is to SOW thick
from ten to twelve quarts per acre--cvenly
scattered on mellow soil and brushed in IL
sown with spring grain. This forms 4
close growth, and must be cut before It
lodges much, and this is generally about
the time Of towering. Else iflodged bad

Americans Europeanized.

c. q. Fulton, of the Baltimore Amerii-
can, writing from Paris says: "When
was home | was one of the pillars of the
church, but here in Paris l can hardly be
regarded as brick, was the remark of
an American lady, when discussing the
tendency to almost wholly disregard the
Sabbath in France. Yes, remarked an
other, "when / first came to Paris, the
playing of operatic airs on Sunday shocked
me, but now | find myself occasionally do
ing the same thing without thought to
its impropriety." Americans residing in
Paris any length of time soon get over
their antipathy to the Sunday operas, Sun
day concerts, and Sunday amusements of
all descriptions. All their staid notions
disappear, and they learn to do as the
Parisians do, and If favorite opera is to
be performed on Sunday evening they do
not let that prevent their attendance.

The last census OF Paris gives total Of
thirty thousand Americans permanently
residing in Paris; of these nearly twenty
thousand are from Louisiana, five thousand
from Virginia, three thousand from other
Southern States, and only two thousand
from the North and West. The Souther-
ners have located here during and since
the war, and have made it their permanent
home. There are, in addition to this fully

American Oysters,

The Paris market is being supplied with
American oysters IN the shel. from the
Chesapeake Bay. The Importation Of
oysters from Norfolk commenced a couple
OF years ago. and il has been SO successful
that two new companies have been formed
to carry on large export trade in this ar.
ticle of food. Artificial beds for their re.
ception have been prepared on the Nor
mandy coast, and A number of vessels have

The Farmer.

The benefit conferred upon mankind by
the farmer, and the pleasure which at
taches to his vocation, are charmingly por-
trayed by Ralph Waldo Emerson, in one
of his essays, as follows:
"The glory of the farmer is that, in the
division Of labor, it is his part TO create.
All the trades rest at last on his primitive
authority. He stands close to nature; he
obtains from the earth the bread; and the
food which Was not, he causes to be. The
first farmer was the first man, and all his
toric nobility rests on the possession and
use Of land. Men do not like hard work,
but every man has an exceptional respect
for tillage, and feels that this is the origi-
nal calling Of his race, that he himself is
only excused from it by some circumstan-
ces which made him delegate it for time
to other hands If he had not some skill
which recommends him to the farmer.
some product for which the farmer gives
corn, he must himself return into his due
place among the planters. And the pro-
fession has in all eyes its ancient charms
as standing nearest to God, the first cause.
Then the beauty Of nature, the tranquility
and innocence Of the country, his indepen-
dence and pleasing arts, the care of bees,
poultry, sheep, hogs the dairy, the care Of
hay, of fruits, of orchards and forests; and
the reaction Of the workman in giving him
strength and plain dignity, like the face
and manners of nature-all men acknowl-
edge. All men keep the farm in reserve as
an asylum, in case Of mischance, to hide
their poverty, or as a solitude in case they
do not succeed in society And who
knows how many glances of remorse are
turned this way from the bankrupts Of
trade, mortified pleaders in courts and
senates, or from the victims Of idlcness
and pleasure ?"

MUSIC.


From Chindara's warbling fount come,
Calfd BY that moonlight Rarlands SPELL
From Chindara's fount, my fairy home,
Where IN music, morn and night dwell
Where lutes In the air are heard about
And voices are singing the whole day long,
And every sigh the heart breathes out
Is tuned, as 1t leaves the lips, to songl
For mine Is the lay that lightly floats
And mine are the murmuring, dying notes,
That fall as soft as snow on the sea,
And melt in the heart as Instantly
And the passionate strain that deeply going
Reflnes the bosom II tremblcs through
As the musk-wind over the water blowing,
Ruiiies the wave but sweetens 1t tool
Mine Is the charm whose mystic sway
The sprites ofthe past delight 10 obey =
Let but the powerful talisInan sound.
And they come, like Genii, lowering round.
And mine Is the gentle song that bears,
From sOIll to soul the wishes Of love,
As q bird that watts through genial airs
The cinnamon seed from grove TO grove
Tis that mingle In one sweet measure
The past, the present, and future Of pleasure;
When memory links the tone that Is gone
With the blihsful tone that's still on the ear;
And Hope from heavenly note flies on
To note more heavenly still that is near
The warriors heart, when touched by me,
Can as downy soft and as yielding be
As his own white plume, that high amid death
through the ield has shown-yet moves with
And O, how the eyes of Beauty gisten,
When music has reached her inward soul,
Like the silent stars that wink and listen
While Heavens eternal melodies roll
Then hither come from my fairy home
And II there's magic in music's strain,
! swear by the breath OF that moonlight wreath
Thy lover shall sigh at thy feet again.

ORIGIN OF THE SEWING MACHINE
A singular development is communicated
in special telegram from New York with
respect to the invention Of the sewing ma
chine. II transpired, it is alleged, that in
1890 man procured patent in England
for fastening the soles Of shoes to the up
pers, the plans Of which, but not the spec
ifcations, included device very much
the same as the sewing machine, especially
in the needle, which IS the essential feat
ure. This fact has been nnearthed by an
examination of the patent Office reports
published by the English government in
1854 Its Importance consists in the ques-
ton which II gives rise to in regard to the
right, morally, to assess royalty upon
every sewing machine that is Inanufactur-
cd in this country. Were that asserted
right ovefthrown it would destroy one Of
the most obnoxious monopolies in the
country

Nothing so strongly indicates the man
Of pure and wholesome thought as habit
ualpurlty of speech. By his conversation,
among his own kind, you may always pret-
ty accurately form an opinion Of the moral
worth Of a man. II is there, where no
restraint is supposed to be placed upon his
words, that you may discover his true ma
ture. If he is given to looseness of dis
course, or his mind wanden to the discus
sion Of subjects prescribed in mixed com
pany or respectful society, you may justly
mark him as one with whom association
Is undesirable.
