IE 1 SHOULD DIE.

III should lie tonight,
My friends would look upon my quiet face,
Before they laid 1t in its resting place,
And deem that death had left it almost fair;
And, laying snow-white flowers against my
hair,
Would smooth IL down in fearful tenderness,
Aud fold my HANDS with lingering caress,
"Poor hands, so empty and SO cold tonight"
If should die Tonight,
My friends would call to mind with loving
thought,
Some kindly deed the icy hand had wrought;
Some gentle words the frozen lips had said;
Errands on which the willing feet had sped
The memory of my selfishness and pride,
My hasty wordsworth all be put aside, isfi
And so should be loved and mourned to-
beg. night. aHt S fHHaHl
III should die tonight, rtf
Even hearts estranged would turn once more
to me,
Recalling other days remorsefully; .yf
The eyes that chilled me with averted glance
Would look upon me as of yore, perchance,
And soften in the old familiar way, t.'fr
For who could war with dumb, Unconscious
clay?
So might rest, forgiven ofali, tonight
Oh, friends pray te-night,
Keepnot your kisses for my dead, cold brow;
The way is lonely, let me feel them now.
Think gently OF me, am travelworn;
My feet are pierced with many a thorn;
Forgive, o hearts estranged, forgive, plead;
When dreamless rest is mine, shall not
need fs. :. .s... 80 -.
The tenderness for which long tonight.

4 ENDORSEMENT OF THE
HON. ]. ROSS BROWNE

SAN FRANcIsco, November 2S, 1874.
VIM H. MARTIN, General Agent California
Immigrant Union-Dear Sir:--I have inst Wis
tied the 7"Centinela and Sausal Redondo"
Rancho, and drivenov the land described in
your advertisement. With all my experience
In the southern part of California, have seen
nothing to surpass this tractin 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 a growing commercial centre, IN CALI
fornia or elsewhere, To equal IL. No part OF IL
is unavailable for farms, orchards or home
steads. 1t can be subdivided into lots ranging
from five acres To several hundred acres ana
every acre of il can be made productive. Water
Is abundant and convenient. The land Is
subject to easy irrigation; and can vouch for
the fact that il will produce anything that
fiourishes in Los Angeles or Santa barbara
counties. IL isIny confident opinion that the
value of shares In this magniicent 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 suecess in your undertaking,
am, very truly yours, J, Ross BROWNE

Southern Pacific Railroad.

"There now; we told you so.u The
Southern Pacific Company are hunt
ing that 'loop-hole' to avoid the con-
tract with the citizens of Los Angeles.
We are not surprised, and more, we
do not care whether they comply or
not. If they comply with their con-
tract we shall soon have rail connec-
ton with San Francisco, and if they
fail we can recover all that we prom
ised, and have paid them to build
these roads. Even Congress cannot
pass law to impair contracts be-
tween parties if such contracts were
not violation Of the Constitution.
Therefore we are not frightened by
Mr.. Houghton's bill. Indeed it would
be of infinite advantage to us If we
can recover from that company
the railroads we have paid
for, and agreed to give them, which
we are certain to do, if Houghton's
bill becomes law. Every mile of
road in the county ought, in reality,
to belong to the county, for it was
with our money and credit they were
built. If we had these roads in our
possession to-day we would have no
difficulty in extending one to Inyo and
as far. beyond as we would
desire. Perhaps we would not
be connected with San Francisco
so soon, but what shall we lose by
that? We can travel to that city now
as cheap as we ever shall, and if we
were connected with the East by
direct road it would matter very little
with us whether we were connected
with San Francisco at all. We have
never anticipated any great advantage
to accrue to us by a railroad connec-
ton with San Francisco. Neither
freight nor passage would be reduced
any. A few timid people might visit
us that will not come by sea or stage,
But we don't want any timid people to
come here; and if they do come they
will not enrich the country. Whatwe
want is a market for produce and
trade with the richest mining country
in the world. This will make us
people; we will be Southern California
then. But this is just what the s. p.
II. r. Company don't want, and will
prevent it if they possibly can. They
would rather connect us to San Fran
cisco by rail and make us way sta
ton OH the great Southern Pacific
overland route. Then we would oc-
cupy the position to San Francisco that
q tail does to kite. However, if
there are any who are scared, we
will comfort such by saying Mr.
Houghton's bill will never pass Con-
gress. 1t was not presented for that
purpose.
The Southern Pacific Company
would not run the risk Of losing what
they have In Los Angeles county, by
the passage of that bill, for half
million dollars. Their object is to
scare ms, but we "dOn't scare worth a
cent" They intended to have hands
at work en- Cajon Pass yesterday, and
that bill was to be presented to Con-
q ess at the same time, and they ex-
pected we would be so frightened that
we would drop the Independence road
like hot stone, and then they would
stipulate with us for new terms to in
duce them to build the Southern Pa
cific road via Los Angeles. Engineer
Crawford was little too quick for
them in beginning work on Cajon
Pass, and the people of this and San
BernardinO COMMITTEES will be equally
sharp i'm securings the trade of that
mining region. ~ PEEL.

semi-TropIcaI Fruits.

There are few bearing orange and lime
trees upon the Centinela, and the fruit they
produce is of the largest and finest quality.
There is an orchard containing 5000 orange
trees three years old, and LOO almond, lime
and lemon trees. The almond lime and
lemon trees will bear fruit in 1876. The or
ange trees will bear in five years. There are
7 900 three-year-old orange trees in the nur-
sery near the orchard. Fig, pepper and gum
trees grow without irrigation. The entire or
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 i'm bloom every day in the yea

Change OF Text Books.

We will await the final action of the
State Board of Education before we
compare the merits and dement's of
the books substituted for those now in
use. This singular fact, however, may
be mentiened: the readers thrown out
were approved by at least nine- tenths
of the teachers, and the grammar re-
adopted is condemned by almost every
teacher.

:, After pleasant season of relaxation
the teachers and pupils met in their
respective rooms ON the 11th. All
seemed to be glad to meet again. 1t
is delightful to see the pupils of all
grades, at the close of session, as with
glad hearts and bright hopes they bid
adieu to schoolroom duties and rush
forth "to haveca a good time." 1T is
more delightful to welcome them, as
with equally glad hearts and buoyant
hopes they return to their duties. How
cordial, how warm, is the feeling with
which they greet their teachers! May

And we might add
The little things we teach n child
Make 1t rude or wise and mild. - =
Every experienced teacher or parent
knows thatthe child's Immature mind
dwells in reflection on the little things
of which it is cognizant through sight
as well as hearing. In consequence of
this, we are very careful what
thoughts we hold forth to them and
with what Language we clothe them.
In our earnest efforts to develop their
minds in the proper manner, we lose
sight of the fact that we are. also in
voluntarily and silently. giving them
instructions which mediately, if not
Immediately, produce results, either
good or evil. Watch your little girl,
while she patiently strives to give her
hair that peculiar wave, in imitation
of Miss H., her teacher; or your little
boy as he repeatedly runs his fingers
through his, and then ask how we SO
instruct them. lRH
Truly, actions often speak louder
than words, and the weary, conscien-
tious teacher would take up the next
days labor with doubly renewed vigor
could she see her pupils as they ac-
lively express the impressions made
on their minds by her dress, manner,
voice and language. s4ea-,lI be o 3
The teacher is, in the child's estima-
ton, always worthy OF imitation.
Then let us not think it too small a
matter to try and wear colors which
harmonize; say g thank YOU" "you
are Welcomes" z" if you please" when
proper; avoid any display of nervous
activity when talking or walking; and
if we have any peculiarity of manner
or, speech natural to us, discourage
them in their efforts to court the same
by striving, through actions and words,
to teach them to be all that is good
and wise. i96ss. biaslos s,,4o N. III. $
