To One Among MANY.
Bright glinting gold, aud ruby sheen,
with wealth Of purple, depth Of green;
Clear, wondrous hues, like quivering fame
And amber shades without name.
wierd streAks, like morning ere the sun,
To blushing rose kisses the dun,
Pure topaz CLEANS with orange blent,
And shadows as when day Ia spent
The palette where such colors lie
Was never seen by mortal eye;
The Hand that spreads them hour by hour
Hath innnite, resistless power.
Lovely the emerald hues that deck
Thy slopes in spring, wAntAstiqueti
Lovely the summers deeper shades
That dArken thy sweet, piney glAdes:
But to thy autumn pride we bow
The glorious, mAtchless, hAlloved n0uj
And bowling pray shat like TO thee
Life's Autumn may trAnscendent be!

Physiological Lectures

DR. Paul NJ. Brenan, one of the most
prominent physicians of San Fran
cisco, is stopping in our city on pro-
fessional visit. He will commence O
series of lectures tomorrow night at
Turn-Verein Hall. The subject of the
first lecture will be "The Human
Mind and its Influences upon the
Body" The lecture promises to be
very interesting and instructive, and
the hail will doubtless be well filled.
Besides delivering course of physio-
logical lectures, the Doctor will devote
a good portion of his time to practice
while he remains with us. The San
Francisco Post, in commenting upon
one of DR.. Brenan's lectures in that
place, says:
DR.. Brenan's lecture Sunday evening
was well attended, and spoken of very
highly by those who had the pleasure
of listening to him. His views of the
spirit or soul permeating every part of
the human body were thoroughly orig
inal, and proved beyond contradiction.
This gentleman's versatility and elab-
crate reasoning could not fail to please
every person of common sense and
reason. The principles advocated were
beautifully drawn, and We're in strict
accordance with true religious belief.
His picture of nature and that of the
spirits connection with the Supreme
Being was really sublime.
The Mysteries of Matrimony, or
the Philosophy of Conception ond Ges-
tation," is the text of his lecture this
evening, which will be his farewall.
This lecture is the creme de la creme
of his course, and presents facts that
every man and boy in the land should
hear. These facts are the results OF
the latest medical research and are all
new and not now laid down in any
written work. The press and pulpit
havn Ghnwnrnd onooniuuIS upon tne
Doctor for his fearless advocacy of doc
trines that they would dare not touch.
Go and hear him.

The Minuteness OF Atoms.

Gold-beaters, by hammering. can
reduce Sold leaves so thin that 2S2, 900
must be laid upon each other to pro-
duce the thickness of an inch; yet
those leaves are perfect, or without
holes, SO that one of them laid upon
any surface, as i'm gliding, give the ap-
pearance of solid gold. They are so
thin that if formed into a book, 800
would only occupy the space of sim
gle leaf of common paper; and an oc-
tavO volume of an inch thick would
have as many pages as the books of a
well stocked library of l 800 volumes,
with 400 pages each. Still thinner
than this is the coating of gold on the
silver wire of what is called gold lace,
and we are not sure but such coating
is only one atom thick. Platinum and
silver can be drawn into wire much
finer than human hair. A grain Of
blue vitrOl or carmine will tinge q
gallon of water, so that in every drop
the color can be perceived. In the
milG of a Goldfish or in water in, which
certain vegetables have been infused,
the microscope discovers animalcul9
of which many thousands together do
not equal in bulk grain of sand; and
yet nature, with singular prodigality,
has supplied many of these with or
gans as complex as those of whale
or elephant; and the bodies consist of
the same substances or ultimate
atoms as that of man himself. In u
single pound Of such matter there are
more living creatures than human be-
ings on the face of the globe. What
scene has the microscope opened to
the admiration of the philosopic en-
quirer!
Water, mercury, sulphur, or, in gem
eral, any substance when sufficiently
heated, rises as vapor or gas that is,
it is reduced to the aeriform state.
Great heat, therefore, would cause the
whole of the material universe to dis
appear and the most solid bodies to
become quite as invisible and impal-
pable as the air we breathe. Few
persons have contemplated an annihi-
lation Of the world more complete
than this.

The examinations in the English
German school, under the superin
tendence of Prof. Ploennis, passed off
very successfully yesterday. The
scholars exhibited a degree of prof.
cheney, both in English and German,
in which they have had equal train
ing, which reflected credit upon their
industry and the care of their teacher.
A good number of visitors were pres
ent during the day to lend encourage
ment to the cause by their presence.
After the close of the examinations,
the scholars surprised the Professor by
multitude of Christmas gifts, each
contributing something as a mark of
esteem. There will now be vaca-
ton of the schools until January 4th.
Mr. Will r.. Bettis lately engaged in
Brodrick's bookstore, has taken the
agency in our city for several new
books soon to be issued from the
Eastern press. He is now canvassing
for Joaquin Millers latest work, "Un-
written History or Life Among the
Modocs." This work is destined to
become universally popular, and we
have no doubt tina. Mr.. Bettis will
find large sale for it in Los Angeles
Mr.. John w. Wolenburg, late chief
clerk of the Clarendon Hotel will also
do something in the canvassing line
in conjunction with Mr.. Belts. Both
of the young gentlemen are widely
and favorably known here and we be-
speak for them the best of success.

Sketch of H. H. Granice.

Mrs. Rowena Granice Steele, ,mother
of the young man who killed Mr..
Madden; editor of the Tribune, at
Merced, has contributed n sketch of
the life of her son, from which some
facts Of general interest are CLEANED.
Harry Hale Granice Cloughly was
born in the city of New York, Decem-
ber Sd, 1S49, on Ninth avenue, between
18th and 10th streets. His father,
Thomas N. Cloughly, was for num-
Der of years proprietor of Extension
Furniture Warerooms, on the corner
of Bowery and Bond streets, New
York. He came to California in '53,
and died in San Francisco in '59, and
was buried in Lone Mountain. Harry
has but one brother, G. Law Granice
Cloughly. Both brothers dropped
their fathers name and adopted their
mothers maiden namein consequence
of domestic troubles. Harry, with
| his brother G. Law, came to Califor-
MIA in March, 1857, to join their moth
er, who had preceded them just one
year. In 1861 the mother was married
to Robert j. Steele, and Harry, at the
age of II, entered Mr.. Steele's print
| ing office. A few years since he
worked few days on the Tuolumne

THE DAY is DONE.
by II. W. LoNGFELLow

The day is done. and the darkness
Falls from the wings of Night,
AS a feather is waited downward
From an eagle i'm his fight.
i see the light of the village
CLEAN through the rain ana the mist,
And 81 feeling of sadness comes DER me,
That my soul cannot resist.
A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only Nv.
AS the mist resembles the rain. .t...t
Come read to me some poem,
Some simple aud heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And Danish the thoughts OF day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of time.
For, like the strains of martial music, y
Their mighty thoughts sugge
Life's endless toll and endeavor,
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humble poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
AS showers from the clouds OF Summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start.
Who, through long years of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
OF wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume,
The poem ofthy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the oct
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.
