Sound TO the Sacramento Union: Mount

upon the other, while host of lesser
elevations swing swiftly past the vis-
ion, and chains of lofty mountains
clOaKed in blue mist stalk somberly
across the horizon. The nearer hills
are ridged with pines, that bristle upon
their backbones like spikes, and at the
base are dense with underbrush. All
day we sit upon the deck with scarce a
word to each other, and watch the
course of the vessel and listen TO the
sharp commands of the pilot. =
The heavens are blue, forever melting
into deeper blue, and snOw-white clouds
resting upon the mountain tops reach
up and up. as if grasping al the zenith.
The water is so still and smooth, and
seaweed drifts and drifts, and whale
birds, perched upon fallen stem, float
away with the tide. 1t doesn't seem as
If these waves could ever swallow one !;
they look so beautiful, so strong in their
expanse, almost it encourages one to
walk upon the waters. In the ships
wake they curl and twist like gnarled
lots of trees, like the faces that some
times start ont of clouds or air or dis
eased Imagination, and they take upon
themselves the form of things seen and
shape of things unseen. The shores
which encompass our changing path
are green, such vivid, lovely green, not
the dull and dusty LEAKAGE of the sout h.
ern coast, but the bright, emerald
shade of the north. which no speck of
dust, no profaning spot of dirt can
reach, washed perpetually as they are
by the restless arms of the Pacific.
What thousand hooks hide in the hearts
Of these islands; what heavy silence
broods under the boughs of the trees
which are in their centers; what inspi-
ration awaits the tender wooer here.
To me it is like wonderful and mul

spoiled by bands of music, undesecrated

came into Seattle the other night about
sundown; as pretty little place, built
upon the side of hill, as you will find
hereabout. A forest of pine trees seems,
from a distance, to stand in the way of
the main street, but a nearer view
showed that it was but partition be-
tween the two towns. As we approached
we could see men and boys running
toward the waters edge, and by the
time the Panama scraped against the
wharf a perfect sea of faces was up
turned, and We, not to be outdone, in
our turn leaned over the rail and stared.
1t was to Seattle you will remember,
that Capt. Mercer took his much h-talked-
of cargo of females upon the steamer
Constitution some eleven years ago. In
one of the prettiest houses to be seen
from the wharf lives one of the ladies
who came out with Capt. Mercer, now
well and happily married. But that
was all in the early days of Seattle.
just in the late dusk we strolled away
into the town, and in my memory it is
devoted to cake and strawberries, shade
trees and sawdust. And we have been

Hephzibab.-Thes story of an Old-fash-
ioned Lover.

She was an old maid and her name
was Hephzibab,
Hephzibab! The parents who can be
ferocious enough to inflict such name
upon their off-pring, ought to be spiked
upon the ragged edge of remorse,
ground to powder in the mill of self
condemnation, and blown TO the four
winds of heaven by an outraged pro-
geny.
If, in the earlier period OF a blasted
life, our Hephzibab had ever been the
delight of any male creatures heart,
there were no traces left upon her face,
to record the happy effect of having
been the object of such an emotion.
But appearances are deceptive, you
know; for there was time in Hephzi-
bab's life, when the lilies bowed
sweetly at her approach, and the roses
hurriedly hid their thorns beneath their
trembling foliage, for very shame at
having such cruel ornaments about
them, III her presence. Her sprightly
step and flashing eyes gave evidence
that nature was not singing a lullaby
to the pulses that gave the blush to her
cheek, and lent the rapture of love to
her heart; the tendrils of her being
were budding with yigor and beauty,
warmed by the glow of youth and
nursed by the dew of dawning woman
hocd. A measureless depth of love was
in her heart, but fate had yielded her
only the stingiest half-measurei in which
to garner her abundance, so the rest
part of it ran TO waste, and the rest
well, the rest part of it disappeared
somehow, and left us a cross old maid,
whose name was Hephzibab, whose
dimples had turned to wrinkles, and
whose ''beauty spots" had become ugly
warts, bristling with coarse hairs.
OF course there was man at the bot
tom of it.
He was not bad man, either; he
was one of those phlegmatic souls who
plod along, content with little, having
ing little to give, and if more fell to him
than he asked for, why surely he
couldn't help 1t. He was attracted to
the bright, Hephzibab perhaps her
name had something TO do with it-and
she, poor dear, thought he was the
prince of men. In her shy way she
gazed up at him, and colored his dull
stoicism with the marvellous charm of
imagination. She imagined that be-
meath this calm there ragged grand,
passionate soul-in chains-the chain s
of manliness and honor controlling
waywardness.
She had no smile of encouragement
for others; he was all she wanted, and
he liked her. Oh, yes, he liked her
very well; he sought no other girls
company. And so couple of years
passed, and people began to wonder, as
people will, why that 'pair" did not
marry. But Hephzibab was SO happy.
She lived and thrived upon the memory
of one little kiss, and the expectation of
many more some time. =

Importance of Good Manners.

Saying rude things, or running peo-
pie down, springs not so much from ill
nature as from that vanity that would
rather lose friend than a joke. On
this point Mr.. johnson once remarked
''Sir, man has no more right to say
an unciyil thing than to act one-nC
more right to say rude thing to All
other than to knock him down." The
vain egotism that disregards others is
shown in various impolite ways; as,
for instance, by neglect of prOpriety in
dress by the absence of cleanliness, OF
indulging in repulsive habits. Some
think themselves so wellborn so clever
or so rich, as to be above caring what
others say and think of them. 1t is
said that the ancient kings of Egypt
used to commence speeches to their
subjects with the formula: by the
head of Pharaoh, We are all swine.
We need not wonder that those who
| take this swine theory of their neigh
bors should be careless of setting their
tastes and feelings at defiance. Con-
trast such puppyism with the conduct
of David Auction, a famous Huguenot
preacher, one of whose motives for
studying his sermons with the greatest
care THAT il was showing too little es-
TEEN for the public To take no pains in
preparation. and that Il man who should
appear on ceremonial day in his night
cap and dressing-gown could not com:
nit greater breach of civility." D" "Spite
and i'll nature" it has been said ''are
among the most luXuries of life:" and
this is true for none of us can afford TO
surround himself with host of enc
mics we are sure To make if, when
young, we allow ill-nature to produce
in us unmannerly habits. Good man,
ners, like good words, cost nothing,
and are worth everything. What ad-
vantage, for instance did the bOok-sel-
Ter on whom Dr. Johns on once called
TO solicit employment get from his
brutal reply; Go buy a porter's knot
and carry trunks?'; The >urly nature
of such men prevents them from ever
entertaining angels unawares. Ii il
difficult 10 see how the 'natural-bOrn
fool gan ever hope 10 be well man
nered. for without good sense, or rather
tact, man must continually make Il
fool of himself in society. Why are
women. "a u rule. better hammered than
men: Because their greater sympathy
and power of quicker intuition give to
them quicker, finer tact. Nor i talent
which knows what to do of much use,
if the tact be wanting which should en-
able us TO see how to do il. He who
has talent without tact i like the mil
lionaire who never has penny of
ready money about him. Mr.. Smiles
illustrates the difference between man
of quick tact and of no tact whatever
by an interview which he says once
took place between Lord Paimerston
last sitting which Lord Palmerston
gave him, Behnes opened the CONVEX
sation with: ANY news, my lord from
France? How do we stand with Louis
Napoleon - The foreign secretary
raised his eyebrows for an instant, and
quickly replied Really, Mr. Behnes,

was one of the many men who entirely
missed their way in life through want
of tact.

The Difference.

Some suppose that every learned man
is an educated man. No such thing
That man is educated who knows him
self, and takes accurate eOmmon-sense
views of men and things around him.
Some very learned men are the greatest
fools In the world, the reason is they
are not educated men. Learning is
only the meaEs, not the end; its value
consists in giving the means of acquir-
ing, the use of which, if properly man
aged, enlightens the mind.

And know the rest.

For climbing upward ways
Still, still fall
And when my voice would praise
Grief bushes all.

Not that through victories won
From sin I'm free.

irving at her doc. -. ,ne act oI leaving
her, his matter-Of-fact eye espied that
the fastening of her breast-pin had be-
come undone. As he called her atten-
ton TO it, the pin fell-both stopped TO
recover it; their heads and hands met,
and the next moment they were
startled by the realization that their
lips had met, somehow.
One moment he held her hand, say
ing:
'How very sweet you are, Hephzi-
bab!" and that was all.
The next time he came she quivered
and trembled and felt very nervous.
There was no occasion for it. When
the old couple began TO yawn and
stretch, previous to toddling off to bed,
he took his hat and toddled off home,
merely soppting long enough, after they
were gone, to hold her hand and say,
goodnight. The following evening
he came as usual, and this was repeated
for another season, until one night he
said:
"Hephzibab, good by"
why. Are you going to leave
town."
"Yes. Ive invested in some land in
the territories. 1t is not probable that
| shall ever come back"
He put on his hat and was gone.
Hephzibab's heart gave one awfnl
throb, and then shriveled up with its
lovely luxury of kindliness.
And the years passed away, taking
away father, mother and friends. but
lett ''Bab, that hateful dried-up old
maid," and all her memories embittered
by the humiliating consciousness that
she had given the full measure of a
wOman's love 10 one who bad not asked
for il.
She was standing In the door of her
cottage one evening, the hush of twi-
light softly falling upon the landscape,
when she suddenly found herself facing
her lover of long ago.
"Hephzibab."
''Your she exclaimed with gasp
and snap.
Eyes, it's me, Hephzibab."
"What DO you want? ?'
"You, Hephzibab. The kiss you
once gave me has haunted me through
all these years, and fingered near me
like sweet strain of music. But oh,
woman, want another"
lnvoluntarily his arms went out to
her as he spoke. And Notwithstanding
her name, Hephzibab was only wo-
