The BEAUTIFUL FooT HILLs.-What a
surprise it would be to the dwellers in the
far off Eastern States, who live in lands
where grim Winter still sways his icy scep-
ter; where dark clouds frown and "chill
winds do hollow blow could they be sud-
denly translated at this time, into the warm
vales of California, with their livery of
green and bright ganture of flowers. SO
we thought not many days since, says the
Folsom Telegraph, upon seeing a number
of schoolgirls on a sunny hillside, fitting
ike butterflies, here and there, gathering
the bright wild-flowers, which, in their lux
uriant profusion give even the green of the
lawns and hills tingc of their variegated
hues of purple and gold And then from
the top of one Of those hills, what a pros
pectl-a few miles Eastward, apparently,
the lofty Sierras >stood against the clear
blue sky-looking in their snowy robes,
like great white clouds. In what other
land could a more beautiful and wonder
fully diversified panoramic scene be pre-
sented TO the eye at a single view?

IRISH LADIEs.-Physcally Irish women
(says writer) are probably the finest race
in the world mean taller, better lmbed
and chested, larger eyed, and with more
luxuriant hair and freer action than any 9th
er nation | have observed. The PhTnican
and Spanish blood which has run hundreds
of years in their veins, still kindles its dark
fire in their eyes, and with the vivacity of
the northern mind and the bright color of
the northern skin, these southern qualities
mingle in most admirable and superb har-
mony. The idea we form of Italian and
Grecian beauty is never realized in Greece
and Italy; but we find it in Ireland, hight
ened and exceeded.

Old friends are like old boots We never
realize how perfectly they were fitted to us
till they are cast aside, and others, finer and
more stylish perhaps, but cramping and
pinching in every corner, are substituted
Then we are often forced to hunt up the
worn articles from the attic where they have
been thrown, and for little season at least
rest our weary feet by wearing them. With
our friends it is the same; after trying in
vain to fit ourselves to the pecuiarites of
new ones, how often we 90 back with a
sigh of relief to the dear people whose very
faults may sometimes have been brought
about by serving us.

Nearly all the distinguished men, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, who took part in
the violent political contest of 1S50-51
twenty-five years ago, are how dead They
were Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Cass, Bu-
cbanan, Sumner, Clayton, Fillmore, Seward
Chase, Douglas, Benton, Corwin, Bell Ev-
erett and Dickinson. This demonstrates
what immense and fatal span in human ex-
istence is composed in two decades of years.
We see hardly name now that figured in
the contest that we had before the war.

matrimony in the following way. Thinking
over the subject, and particularly the ex-
pense of maintaining a family, be set the
table in his lonely abode with the plates for
himself and an imaginary wife aud five
children. He then sat down to dine, and
as often as he helped himself to food he put
the same quantity on each of the other
plates, and surveyed the prospect, at the
same time computing the cost. He is still

Aud with Joy and holy triumph,
Closed his eyes, and ceased his breath,
And upon his face there fingered
Sweetest sunlight after death.

Saw him smile as came the sound,

Come, for thou art homeward bound.'

The general conclusions to be drawn iIom
the tone OF our principal exchanges conee ru ing
the industrial and financial outlook. are that
business throughout the country, particularly
IN the lnading manufacturing districts OF New
Euglahd and or state, is now ia a good
condition, and that many OF the industries
are IN as hourishing situation As before tue
panic. Nearly all tho cotton factories are run
ning on tau time and al profit. The wooden
manufacturers owing The enforced dleness of
u large class al consumers OF heavy goods aud
the mud weather, are in less prosperous con-
dition. The vast boot aud shoe business Of
New England, although now in u fairly pros
porous condition, was materially inlerfered
WIN ny the same influence noticed in regard
to wooden goods. Al the leading muney cen.
ters Of the country the month OF January show
ell marksd improvement over that of lS1:..---
On The whole, tile prospects are every way
hppriul ALL encouraging.
