THE OLD YEARS FAREWELL.
by YDA Adds.

The Old Year stood upon the theshuld-stone
That led within the realm of by-gone time;
And pausing, backward gave n wstful glance
Across the fair domain he left behind.
Afar away, beyond the purple hills
Ho saw the prairie-oceans OF the West
All white with foam of snowy, gllstening
drifts,
And farther yet, saw cities rich and great
Whose high and low and young and old all
waved
A glad adieu; and cried, 40 bitter year;
Return no more to chill with icy breath
And freeze us In thine arms of icy-cold;
Return no more, despoiler of our joys,
BY all our tears and prayers, return no more"
And as he looked, he saw the Youthful Year,
Who should succeed him, welcomed In with
JOY,
And then he clasped his hands before his face
And turned again his view across the world.
He saw the ancient cities of the East,
Whose catacombs and fallen obelsks
Were shrouded with the gloom of ages dead ;
He saw the dark blue sea, the fiery peaks,
The frozen waste of glaciers and the steppcs
Where mammoths lay in solemn icy graves;
Saw all the ocean where the power of man
Was limited by power more sublime;
Where sailors cast the harpoon and the spear
AT monstrous fish to furnish light for man;
Where divers, swarthy-skinned sank meath
the wave
Anon returning with the lustrious gems
That were To shine in regal coronets;
Saw, farther northward. toiling earnest crews
Who braved the ice-bergs and the frozen seas
To find beyond another land unknown
Where they might penetrate and conquer
more.
But all he saw seemed incomplete as yet,
SO that he mused upon the noble dead
Whom he had stricken low, and all the
towns
And villages, and all the works of man
He had destroyed by avalanche or wave.
Or confiagration red or earthquake throe;
And muslng, he regretted not the deeds.
Al last he reused him from his reverie,
And southward turned his weary, glazing eyes
Unto the velvet hills whose s!oping sides
Were clothed in waving fields of yellow grain
And purple vines and plumy, stately palms:
Where sky turquoise bent down TO kiss the
brOws
OF grand old mountains, vast and snowy
crowned;
And then the tears rolled quick and heavy
down
before ne passed away, as II 10 Snun
Temptation irresistible. And then
Came floating back his mournful, parting
song:
Fue,ceu, tdre,oeH, OPleasant land, o South:
SO fair, so bright, like dreams OF early youth;
Would could bask fereuer in Uiy sun,
But n0W griere my earthly course is r,p,.
o, dear to me thine epery curre and line;
What is af thee seems part OF being mine.
Too aOeuk are tOoyJis n,y lore for thee to tell,

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
Edited by the Teachers OF the Public Schools
of Los Angeles county,
To the Business and Professional Men and
Public Spirited Citizens of Los
Angeles County.

1 propose, with the assistance of
other teachers, to publish a small
weekly newspaper, devoted exclusively
to the educational interests of the city
and county. 1t will be sent into every
family represented in the public and
private schools. The teac hers in the
four counties adjoining will be invited
to cooperate with us.
AS fifteen hundred copies will be
distributed, all will see that this will
be an excellent medium for advertis-
ing. The size of the paper will depend
upon the patronage received. AS the
only expense will be the printers bill,
a liberal support will enable the
teachers to present a paper that will
be a credit to, Southern California and
a great help in promoting the inter-
ests of education.
All who are willing to offer sub
substantial aid TO The Los angeles
Schoolmaster, will please commune
cate with me. l will then call upon
them and agree upon terms for adver-
tising. w. II. LUCKY.

EDITOR HERALD: The Anaheim
Branch is pushing ahead lively. The
workmen are this morning within half
a mile Of the point where the depot is
to be built, and doubtless they will
finish the main track tomorrow. 1t
is As minutes of a tiresome walk from
the depot to the centre of the town.
Anaheim had better be improving the
sandy road to the depot at once. The
School Exhibition given last night by
the children in aid of the public school
library was very successful. Enter

SAN FRANCISCO, November %, 1874.
WIN. II. MARTIN, General Agent California
Immigrant Union-Dear Sir:-1 have just Wis
tied the "Centinela and Sausal Redondo"
Rancho, and driven oyerthe land described in
your advertisement. With all my experience
In the southern part of California, have seen
nothing to surpass this tract in fertility of soil
beauty Of location, and advantage of easy ac-
cess and salubrity of climate. For purposes OF
colonization, know of no large body of land
so near growing commercial centre, i'm Cali
fornia or elsewhere, TO equal 1t. No part OF it
Is unavailable for farms, orchards or home
steads IT can be subdivided into lots ranging
from five acres to several hundred acres and
every acre of it can be made productive. Water
is abundant and convenient. The land is
subject TO easy irrigation; and can youch for
the fact that ii will produce anything that
fourishes in Los Angeles or Santa Barbara
counties. 1t is my confident opinion that the
value of shares in this magnificent tract will
be quadrupled within two years-such Is the
extraordinary influx of immigration to the
vicinity of Los Angeles at the present time.
Wishing you success in your undertaking,
am, very truly yours, j. Ross BROWNE.

Semi-TroDical Fruits.

There are few bearing orange and lime
trees upon the Centinela, and the fruit they
produce is of the largest and finest quality.
trees three years old, and LOO almond, linn
and lemon trees. The almond, lime and
lemon trees will bear fruit in 1875. The Or
ange trees will bear in five years. There are
1000 three-year-old orange trees in the nur-
sery near the orchard. Fig, pepper and gum
trees grow without irrigation. The entire Or
chard,can be taken care of by three men with
six horses. The orchard will be kept undi-
Vided by the company to save the expense of
each shareholder having few trees to take
care Of Each share will entitle the owner to
about 10 trees in the orchard and about the
same number in the nursery. The almond,
lime and lemon trees will yield an immedi-
ate return. In five years each orange tree Will
produce $40 per annum, or $500 per share for
those now planted. There are flowers in the
garden in bloom every day in the year.

Sheep.

AfJerthe lambing season in January the flock

sheep to each share. The sheep VIII produce,
in increase and wool, over 81 each yearly over
expenses. They will be grazed upon outlying
and unsold lands or the company. The mo
fence law is in force in Los Angeles county.
