FOR ONE ONLY.

Where massive marble portals have flowers and vines and leaf, Where tender memories cluster and heads are
 bowed with grief; Where life-deeds are recorded in defuy sculpt-
 ured stone, A Silent City buildeth it's Tenements for
 One Where riches, place and power, where worth
 and honored name Have record made in marble for the open page
 Of fame; Where parting ways are noted, and life anew
 begun. Comes stealthily the building Of Tenemonts for One. Where rest tho quick forgotten beneath rank growing grass, Where only wild flowers blossom, and foot steps quickly pass; Where streets unkempt, unnumbered, where stands no mark or stone, IA little earth mound only--are Tenements for One. Where saints and angels bcclIon our dearest ones away, Turning joyous hours 10 mourning, where darkness clouds the day; Where doors are thrown wide open for those
 whose work is done, To close on rusting hinges of Tenements for one. Where each and every comer is an uninvited guest, Where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest" Where never is recorded rise or set of sun, Where hours are all unnumbered are Tene- ments for One ,,r,c, f,r o,,arv mortal from vnutb to hoary age, They who are wise and wary, with name on storied page; They who arc weak and friendless, unlottered and unknown, Find homes, at last, in common, in Tenements for One Whence joy. and peace, and gladness, and choicest blessings forth, Whence sorrows brood in shadow and want clasp hands with worth; Whence pomp and show are gathered whence others walk alone There comes a claim, in passing for Tcne ments for one. Thus swell the Silent City with people, walks and streets, But never one who welcomes or coming tenant greets, Companions come, but tarry moment and are Each tenant house is only Tenement for One. No footslcp outward Eoeth, but yet there's every room Where a Fay of light appeareth from out the gathered gloom, Where the Son of God was tcnanted, with set and seal of stone, Where angels rolled the stone away from II $ Tenement for One.

PRISON DISCIPLINE.

The Novel Method in Vogue in the Fol-
 som Cab Penitcnitary
 Said an cX-plison official, who is temporarily in tho city, last evening: They have new and novel method of maintaining discipline in the State prison at Folsom, Cal, and as near as can learn it is proving a great sue cess They have no dungeons or dark cells in the prison, corporal punish mcnt is unheard of, tying up by the thumbs is never permitted, in short, none of the old modes of punishment are recognized in this institution. The system in vogue is this: When a new prisoner is received he is informed that they have three different bills of fare in the prison, and that it is op- tional with each man as to how he lives. If he is industrious, orderly well behaved, and in all things, con forming strictly to the rules of the prison, he is served with excellent food nicely cooked. He can have chops, steaks, eggs, tea and coffee, milk, white bread, etc.; H ne IS only ialrly well behaved and does not do his al- lottcd task properly, is inclined to growl and grumble at the regulations of the institution. he is given ordinary prison fare. mush and mOlasscs, soup, corn bread, etc; and if he is ugly and insubordinate, he is permitted to feast on unlimited quantities of cold water and rather small allowance of bread. You can have no idea how hard the convicts try to enter the first class and once there, it's seldom that one of them has to be sent back to lower class, thus going to prove the truth of the old theory that men are most easily reached through their stom- achs. .n-Detroit Free Press.

 It was, Of course, that admirable story, The Luck of Roaring Camp, M that first won fame on both sides of the Atlantic for Mir. Bret Harte, made his fortune, and showed that great writer had arisen; but the story was not suffered to appear without a pro- test. Readers know that there is no purer writer than this delightful nov elist, who has never penned a line that the severest moralist would blot; but when 'The Luck of Roaring Camp" was put into type the young woman who was proof-reader in the office oi the magazine found something in II which shocked her dreadfully.

Decidedly Platonic Partnerships.

1t may be interesting to know that very platonic partnerships are formed among the patrons of boarding houses which do not furnish meals. A clerk on a small salary will enter into the most commonplace business partner ship with a fair typewriter, who hap pens also to be a patron of the estab- lishmcnt, They frequent restaurants together for dinner. and have every thing nice and in the season. They order one soup, one portion of fish, one entree, an extra dessert, and dl- vide the expense Some of these part nerships have not been successful of late The male member has preferred roast beef and the fair creature would have chicken, and this difference in taste has dissolved some of the part nerships. The men partnerships seem to get along better than man and woman partnership, although it is not So pleasant It will he observed that the partnership between the man and woman is of such a business like char acter that the moment one objects to ore dish that the other likes there is complete severance of the agree ment, but there is no ill feeling be tween them.

The SANTA monica wharf.

EDITORS HERALD: In your paper of
the 22d of April you state that it is the
intention of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road to build a wharf in Santa Monica.
This report has 80 often come to us that
We place very little confidence in it. Two
years ago this coming May, the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company applied to our
Town Trustees for a wharf franchise.
This was granted to them. and it was the
hope of our citizens that they would go
ahead and build the wharf. The two
years. franchise expires in May, and
! they have done nothing. We have lost
all confidence in the Southern Pacific
| Railroad, and we have come to the con-
clusion that if ever wharf is built in
Santa Monica it will have to be built
by our citizens, and we have taken this
matter in hand and now we have suffi-
cient subscriptions to guarantee US to go
ahead and build the wharf, which we in
tend to do, and control our own harbor,
and all the talk about the Southern Pa
cific building a wharf here will not have
the least effect upon our enterprise. We
intend to build the wharf, own it and
control it. The Southern Pacific railroad
has kept our town back long enough.
The difference between the Southern Pa
cific Railroad Company and our citizens,
is this: We see the necessity of wharf
and they don't want to, until some other
company steps in and then they try to
choke them off by saying what they in
tend to do. Why did they wait two
years after obtaining franchise,
before they take any steps in
this matter of building the wharf,
and now at the expiration of
that franchise come forward and say
what they intend to do. 1t looks very
much as if they we're going to try and
have that franchise extended another
two years. If the Southern Pacific Rail-
road will guarantee to build wharf in
Santa Monica bay, land their steamships
here, receive and discharge freight-ssid
wharf to be completed within six months
after said franchise is granted-then, and
not till then, will they ever get another
franchise from the citizens of our town.
We want it i'm pressed upon their minds
that we, the citizens of Santa Monica,
intend to go on with this work until our
wharf is running out into the bay 1000
feet; and if the Southern Pacific will
allow their steamships. to land there, well
and good; if not, others will come.
And l here venture to say that our
town will go ahead as it never has
done before, and will say that your
paper has always been friend to Santa
Monica, and we heartily thank you for
your friendship. Very Respectfully,
w. SANBoRN.
Santa Monica, April %, 1889.
