A NEW:YEAR REVERIE.

without, the moonlight streaming,
Casts weird, uncertain cleaning,
While the nght-wnds moan and murmur like
spirits wall of woe;
And around my lone heart clnging,
Are the momrics sad upsprmgng
OF Nrw-Yoar, Happy Ncw-Ycar, in the peaceful
"long ago"
From my window oft I'm pccpiug,
When the shades Of night are sleeping,
And the stars look down and glistcn DER carth'J
spocss robe Of snow;
In the silence | am thinking
Fancy unto fancy linking
Of a New-Ycar, Happy Ncw-icar, in the peaceful
"lomg ago."
Fore my dim eyes fit sweet faces,
While a namclcss something traces
\ form with grace all matchlcss in the frclights
ruddy glow
And white hand mine seems pressing
with a gentle, sad carcssing,
As it did one Happy, Happy New-iear in the peace
ful "long ago.
"Eyrr thinc." Those words, token
Of the pledges made and broken,
seem again to breathe in fancy their bcgung
music low;
While, for pleasures unrctaung,
Still my lone hearts ever ycarnng,
A. the passing years are numbered with the fading
long ago."

LEGEND or THE MONTECITO GRAPE
VINE.
From the Overland Monthly


Nestled between Handicapped noun
tains and the sea, in the sunny regions
of Southern California, lies the beauti-
full town Santa Barbara. Here through
the long winter months the air IS mild
and balmy, and the hills are rich with
verdure. Pepper and acacia-trees min
gle the grace Of their perennial foliage
with that of the sturdy live-oak and the
dark-leaved olive, all the year round;
while flowers, both wild and cultivated,
bloom in unbounded profusion.
Santa Barbara claims to be one OF the
most favored spots on the globe for
healthfulness, the geniality of its semi
tropical vegetation. Differing from the
Neapolitans, the Santa Barbarans, "See
Santa Barbara and live !"
About four miles from the town, in
valley of Montecito, grows the now ia
nous grapevine, one of the wonders for
the tourist in Southern California. 1t is
the largest on record. 1t measures four
feet in circumference at the ground,
and rises eight feet before branching
out; then, spreading with extreme lux
uriance, its branches cover more than
five thousand square feet, and are sup
ported by fifty-two trellise9. The larg-
est branch is thirty inches in circumfer-
ence, and were it not for rigid pruning,
the branches would extend infinitely in
every direction. 1t is OF the Mission
variety and exceedingly prolific, pro-
ducing annually from five to six tons OF
grapes, which hang i'll massive clusters
beneath the trclliscs, the effect of
which, in the mellow autumn time, ex-
cites admiration and wonder. 1t is

RE- .lCCINi TION

1t has been asserted that during the
epidemic, Csmall poXl, vaccination is not
certainly preventive. This is not true,
Any instance Of ytlcctual vaccination
is us certainly preventive of small poX
us is Il previous attack of small poX.
The error is one Of observation. II is
not every instance which vaccine matter
has been inserted, and has been follow
cd by ycsirlo which passed through
its regular stages that is iii citcctuul
vaccination. Many OF them are in
stances of only local affection. Jcnncr
was emphatic, that to render person
msusccptiblc Of small poX, the intro
duction Of the cowpoX matter must be
followed by II local and constitutional
affection. And subsequently observers
confirmed the teaching of the immortal
discovcrcr of the cowpoX. There has
never been but one esteemed rule to de
tcrminc that the constitutional affection
had occurred. The scar, its size, the
extent of urcolu, or hardness of base
around and of the ycsiclc, it's suppurat-
ing the eighth day, or the detachment
of scab on given day, not one has ever
been regarded by those most conycrsant
with the history Of cowpoX as evidence
of immunity-as evidence that the in
diyiduul has been successfully Y Wccinat-
cd. Hence the occurrence of SO many
cases of varioIoid or small poX, in per
sons who had been Intellectually vacci-
mated. And hence the necessity of re-
vaccination on the part of every person
upon whom Brycc's test of cilcctual
vaccination had not been applied. He
was Il practioncr of medicine i'll Scot
land during the early years of this cen
tury, and gave to the subject Of vacci-

ter exist IL rc-introduction OF lymph Il

through all the stages of the first vesi
Gle, it is proof that the first vesicle pro.
duced only local affection. Without Il
surety that the matter is pure COW pox,
and without Brycc's test, reyaccination
is an absolute necessity, and ought to

big crops of cotton, and buys his corn
bacon, -four, work-animals, and in
fact almost everything that he needs
with his cotton money! The ezpe.
rience and, observation. of every in.
telligent and sensible farmer in our
country viii answer this question. .
I can readily foresee; .; the, time,-
and the day. is not far distant.in the
future,-if we are only wise and pa
tient, when this heaveH-favored and
.sun-kissed Southern I&nd Of ours will
be the most prosperous and richest
part of these United States. 1t has
every natural advantage Of climate,
soil and productions. The only draw
back and hindrance to its rapid ma
terial development and advancement
at the present time is the bad and
uppromising condition Of our public
affairs. But that is only a temporary
obstacle that must and will soon be
removed. The present corrupt and
rotten State government of South
Carolina, and some of the other South
ern commonwealth, will inevitably
crumble and give way to more intel
hgence and public Virtue, and be
supplanted by q better staterof things.
Then more, capital, enterprise, and
skilled labor from the North and from
Europe viii flow into our section, and
the rapid development of our mag
ni6cent agricultural, mineral, and
manufacturing resources will begin in
earnest. More direct trade with Eu..
rope through our principal seaports
will be established. Our great sup
plies and many varieties of timber
will,be tapped and brought intomar.
ker: Quarries will be opened in our
immense masses of granite and other
building stones, and the treasures of
our great coal and lime bells will be
dragged into light. A more diversi-
fed system Of husbandry will be
adopted. We will have better farm
ing, deeper plowlng, heavier manu-
ring. better draining, and more i'm
proved agricultural implements and
lsbor-saving machines. More rail
roads will be built, a market opened
for the teeming products of every
fruitful valley of the interior and
villages, towns and cities will spring
up in every direction. In short, our
highly favored section, shaking off
the evils of the present and the errors
of the past, will be blessed with
day of prosperity and advancement
such as we have never before enjoyed.
Now, our true policy is to labor,
aOatch, 1Uait and pray for that auspi-
cious day. MOLTKE.

Burglary, Murder and ArSen.

MEMPHIS, March l2.-The Vicks-
burg (Miss.) Herald, OF the 9th, says
the steamer +. B. Hurt arrived yes
terday, and her officers bring partic-
ulars Of a fire at Rolling Fork and
loss of life. The store of Messrs.
Ring 6 Moore was destroyed by fire
during Tuesday night. Wednesday
morning the charred remains Of Jesse
| Moore and Mrs. Moore, Mr.. Goodhue
and a child, Billy Jones, were taken
from the debris. The skull of Mr..
/ Moore had been broken in across the
forehead, evidently with an axe, and
the head of Mr.. Goodhue had been
almost severed from the body, appar-
emily also with an axe. The bodies
of Mrs. Moore and the child showed
no evidence of any wounds. Mr..
Joe Tying is missing, and It is feared
that be also has been fouly dealt
with. 1t was supposed at Rolling
| Fork that Mr.. Ring had goneto Vicks.
burg on a steamer a day or two pre-
vious to the occurrence, but nothing
has been heard Of him by his friends
here. Billy Jones, the child, was
seven or eight years old, and the son
of we'll known raftsman, who had
left Billy with Mr.. Moore while he
was engaged in other sections of the
country. -
Rolling Fork Landing is on Sun
flower river, at the mouth Of short
stream which connectsSunAower with
Deer Creek. The store. Of Ring q
Moore was the only house at the land
ing, and was used as storing depot
for r. all the goods put off there. 1t is
supposed there were good many in
:Aanimable goods there at the time Of
tha fire, and an explosion Of. powder
was heard for several miles around.
The numbering Of four or five persons
and the burning of. a house to con-
ceal the crime, is enough, Of course,
to arouse all sections Of the country
adjacent, and intense excitement pre-
walls. No clue had at last accounts
been obtained Of the perpetrators of
the horrible crime. Two suspicious
characters had been seen previous to
the occurrence in the neighborhood,
and they. have disappeared. Rob-
berry was doubtless the principal OBJ
ject in view. but the 6ends being dis
covered at this, they probably mpr-
dered the inmates Of the house and
then fred it, hoping to hide. all ira
ces of their bloody work. The body
of Mr.. Goodhuei was brought to the
city on the Hurt, and buried from st,
Charles Church yesterday afternoon.
The building and stock Of Ring &
Moore were insured in different agen-
cies in this city for about $1,000.
