POETRY.
The Ballad of Imitation.
BY AUSTIN DoBsoN.

II the hint o Musician the piece that you played
Is Taught but a copy of Chopin or Spohr;
That the ballad you sing is blu. merely conveyed
From the stock of the Arnes and the Purcells OF
yore;
That there's nothing, in short, in the words or the
score
That is not as antique as the "Wandering jew"
Make answeI-Beethoven could scarcely do more
That the man who plants cabbages initiates too!
If they tell you, Sir Artist your light and your shade
Are simply "adapted'' from other mems lore;
That-planly to speak of spade" as spade
You've stolen your grouping from three or from
-four;
That however the writer the truth may deplore,
twas Gainsborough painted your "Lttle Boy
Biue,"
Smile only serenely-though cut to the core
For the man who plants cabbages initiates too!
And you, too. my Poet, never be dlsmayed
Ii they whisper your epic "S;r Eperon Dor
1. nothing but Tenny son thnly arrayed
In a tissue tina Is take n from Morris's store;
That no one In fact, but child could ignore
That you "litt" or accommodate all that you do;
Take heart though your Pegasus wthers be
For the man who plants cabbages initiates too!
Postcriptum. And you whom we all so adore,
Dear CRITICS, whose verdcis are always SO newt
One word in your ear-there were critics before
And the man who plants cabbages initiates tool

The California Floods.

The town OF Washington, 500 in
habitants, opposite Sacramento, is al
most completely inundated. Half
the people are made homeless. Many
houses have been wrecked and swept
away. No lives were lost, but there
have been many narrow escapes.
The total crevasses in Yolo county
exceeded six miles in extent, and are
hourly increasing. The Sacramento
levees are sound and carefully guard
ed. No trains will tbe run on the
Vallejo road until further orders.
The track is badly washed and COW
cred with water foremiles. Sacra-
mento river is falling. The flood in
Sutter county, on Sacramento river,
is reported TO cover tract OF coun-
try fifteen to twenty miles long and
an average of eight wide, with a
depth OF water from four to six feet.
Dwellings and outbuildings are re-
ported wrecked and swept away. No
loss OF life is reported. most OF the
residents being provided with boats,
ready for the emergency.

How to Succeed.

The young man who thinks he can
carry his boyish pranks in the serious
business of life is not man, and de-
frauds himself and his employer.
After work play" That should sat-
isfy the most sanguine, Business
before leasure, is the motto OF the
prudent man whose guide Is expert
ence. And it is sufficient for the no.
vitiate in active life.
But it is despicable to see the
young man just starting in life so
welded to his former enjoyments as
to place them above present duties.
Yet&his Is often the case. The young
man, who, to steer his own bark,
launches forth on the sea OF life, too
often looks back on the pleasure he
leaves behind, and, foregetful fpres-
ent duties, steers back to past enjoy
ments. There is no royal road to
success any more than to knowledge.
He who would succeed must work,
and after all there Is more real enjoy
ment in work which has worthy OBJ
ject, than in play or pleasure intend
ed to kill time. We remarked a few
days ago to a business man whose
present means are amply sufficient,
but who worked really harder than
his numerous employees. that he
ought 60 "take it easy" Said he: 1
am never so happy as when l have
more than lean do. 1 may wear out
in working, but dread to rust out in
idling." He was right. His work
was a part of himself, part OF his
life, and it was always faithfully done.
To apprentices especially, this earn
estness and interest in the work is
necessary, il success is ever to be at
tanned.

And fix those cgrls behind your ear.
Let your heart warm with silent PRAYER,
And view that h0rrid green silk there,
Reflect upon the wicsed's ways,
