AN ANSWER TO THE POEM, "WILL YOr
COME TO THE WEST 81
BY MRS. NESLEY TYLER-in Winter.


o! would I could leave this bleak country so
Where snow lies in sight more than halt of
the year,
Where cold winds are blowing with frost in
the air:
o! would were with you, o b.! would I were
there.
My eyes are so tired of the cold, glittering
snow,
My body 50 chilled with the fierce winds that
The scene is so cherries and dead to the eve,
All Is gloomy and dull, even the clouds in the
sky
flushed is the sound OF the warblers soft lays,
MOI one note is heard, now Ofjoy or of praise;
twill be long e'er they come, or even will
To encounter the cold of this fierce northern
air.
You ask, 'Will you comeo-f it lies In my
power,
Nor stay in this country for one single hour;
would leave these cold winds and these
snOw-drifts behind;
know in California an Eden I'd find.
The flowers and the scenes that you SO we'll
describe;
The springs, and their waters You freely i'm
bibe;
The mountains you've climbed, 1 have
elimbt Il in my dreams;
The country saw there Paradise seems.
How favored you are-how happy your lot,
To live in sosweet, such Il beautiful spot,
10 gaze on such valleys-the mountains SUBJ
lime,
one look Of such wealth would suffice for
tipG
But inYetters Pm bound here of snow and of
ice,
Held In their firm tolls now as if in wise;
But when the Spring sunshine shall melt off
the band,
TWILL come there and meet you in your
sunny land.

A TOUCHING STORY.

The following affecting narrative
purports to have been given by a
father to his son as warning derived
from his own bitter experience of the
sin of grieving and resisting mothers
love and counsel:
What agony was visible on her face
when she saw that all she said and suf
fered failed to move me. She rose to
go home, and l followed at distance.
She spoke no more to me until she
reached her own door.
"It's school time now" said she.
"Go, my SON; and once more let me
beseech you to think upon what have
said."
'I shan't 60 to school," said I.
She looked astonished at my bold
ness, but replied firmly:
Certainly you will go, Alfred. l
command you."
~ will not" said I, in a tone of de-
fiance.
zone of these two things you must
do, Alfred: either go to school this
morning, or 1 will lock you in your
room and keep you there till you are
ready to promise implicit obedience to
my wishes in the future"
~ dare you to do it," said I; "you
can't get me up stairs"
"Alfred, choose now" said my
mother, who laid her hand upon my
arm.
She trembled violently, and was
deathly pale.
"Ifyou touch me l will kick you,"
said I, in terrible rage. God knows
/ knew not what / said
"Will you go, Alfred ?"
"Now Ireplied, but quailed beneath
her eyes.
"Then follow me-" she said, as she
grasped my arm.
I raised my foot-oh, my son, hear
me! / raised my foot and kicked her
my sainted mother! How my head
reels as the torrent of memory rushes
over me. / kicked my mother-a fee
BILE woman-my mother!
She staggered back few steps and
leaned against the wall. She did not
look at me. 1 saw her heart beat
against her breast.
"Oh! Heavenly Father" she said,
"forgive him-he knows not what he
doesp'
The gardener just then passed the
door, and seeing my mother pale and
almost unable to support herself he
stopped. She beckoned him in.
"Take this boy up stairs and lock
him up in his room," she said, and
turned from me.
Looking back as she was entering

Quite serious accident happened to
t certain of the members of Don Pru-
dencia Yorba's family, whilst out rid
ing last Sunday. In ascending a very
steep hill, the seats tilted backward,
throwing from the wagon all its occu-
pants. Mrs. Yorba and her infant
daughter received severe Commissions
on the head and shoulders, the oldest
daughter had an arm broken, and still
another daughter was severely in
jured.
The Illustrated Press party were in
town last Monday, gathering facts and
figures in relation to Anaheim and
vicinity. Several views were taken by

is the same artist that accompanied
Mark Twain on his trip to the Holy

were incorporated in "Innocents
Abroad" Among the views taken in
Anaheim were the vineyard of b..
Dreyfus and the residences of Messrs.
Hardin and Olden. The party have
gone to San Diego.
On Wednesday morning fire was

turned to bed. When the fire was dis
covered it had communicated to a pile
