Soon, by the aid of this improved speak

for hours, and exchange all the soft non.

unship his apparatus, put the funnel in
his pocket. wrap the pieces up in news
paper, and 60 home in condition Of
ETHEREAL bliss. The course of true love
never did run smooth. and one evening
the old gentleman, smoking in the back

young gentleman arrive, fix up his appa-

She disappeared up stairs, and he stole
cautiously to the window. The minute

funnel for the ocean winds to blow thro'
The land climate in summer is hot and
perfectly dry; the sea climate is not
warmer than forty eight degrees. The
two climates combat with each other,
San Francisco being the chief battle
ground. The coast valleys are protect
ed by mountain WALL on the west, and
their climate is a sort Of compromise, and
the most delightful in the State. The
mountain region is showed under in win

spriag becomes vernal paradise. Along
the coast the sea keeps the temperature
equablc. 1t fights the land heats during
the summer.
