After the night, the morning's dawn, Palling and blushing with peart and rose; The greenery, sunniest fields are borne, Fruit of the high-piled winter snows. After the storms, the rainbow gleams, Filling with beauty the heavenly dome; 'Neath lowering clouds the sunlight streams; After the voyage is rest at home. There is no sorrow, nor pain or life, But bears from its anguish something sweet; Past the long hours of weary strife, Comes victory with her snowy feast. Through death is life; each pain and loss, Each grief we bear is a heavenly prize, By his long anguish on the cross, Christ won our rest in Paradise. Then, count not lost the hopes that fall Like leaves in Autumn, one by one, Nor deem the light is vanquished all, As the Dark, dreary night wears on; You shall know at last that loss was gain, That through your weary, toilsome way, As you saw the stars in your life-like wane, The night was leading to heavenly day. Beaten at Her own Game. In a certain boarding-house in a certain fashionable street of a city, reside a gentleman and his wife, who have been married something over a year. Lately, the wife has noticed that other ladies of the house were receiving attentions from him, and with her suspicions once aroused, she magnified every act of kindness toward another member of the petticoat brigade, into downright addiction. She watched him closely. AGENTS: Los Angeles, W. J. BRODRICK. San Francisco, L. P. Fisher. New York, Hudson & Menet. JOB WORK. ALL KINDS OF JOB WORK, PROMPTLY AND NEATLY EXECUTED AT THIS OFFICE.

In a certain boarding-house in a certain fashionable street of a city, reside a gentleman and his wife, who have been married something over a year.Lately, the wife has noticed that other ladies of the house were receiving attention from him, and with her suspicions once aroused, she magnified every act of kindness toward another member of the petticoat brigade, into downright infidelity.She watched him closely, but failed to discover anything tangible and day by day, she let the harrowing thought that he was false to her, prey more deeply upon her. At last, unable to bear the burden alone, she confided her suspicions to a female friend, and they together concocted a scheme to try his virtue.An arrangement was made by which he was to be informed that a lady, whom he knew, would be glad to meet him in one of the rooms of the house, where none could interrupt them.The plan was settled upon that the wife should act the part of the lady,and receive her husband's caresses unknown to him.The joke was too good, however, to keep;the lady who was to assist told her husband,and he—very innocently, of course—informed the intended victim;and measures were taken to thwart and punish the suspicious wife. The night arrived for the trial: the wife entered—solitary and alone—the private room,and seated herself, waiting for the time to come which should prove to her,beyond the shadow of doubt,the perfidy of her husband.At last,the knob was heard to turn softly—the door to open—and she was clasped in the arms of the recreant one; kisses were showered upon her lips,and words of soft endearment poured into her listening ears.Suddenly,the door opened and there stood her husband,surrounded by numerous friends,"while the wife was found in the arms of a gentleman,well known to both parties.The poor wife was dumbfounded; tears flowed freely;and, amid protestations of innocence and a full confession of the plot,the husband and wife retired,the latter avowing that she would never again be jealous of her husband.

Keller’s, where he may be found at all hours, except when professionally engaged. D. K. WILLIAMS, CARPENTER, JOINER and BUILDER, ANAHEIM, CAL. Birds are sometimes very knowing, and resort to all sorts of tricks to protect themselves and nests from their foes. Monault relates that a wren had been annoyed by children peeping into her nest. The bird suspected danger, or at least objected to being overlooked—so one day the opening to the nest was found to be closed up, and much wonder was expressed as to what the mother had done, until a close examination revealed the fact that a new entrance had been made in the back of the nest, the old bird supposing the children would think she had gone when they found the original entrance closed. The same naturalist relates that a corn-crake had been brought to a gentleman by his dog. The bird was to all appearance, dead; when laid on the ground, not a feather moved; when turned over the whole body seemed lifeless, and the sportsmen left it there on the ground for awhile. He took it up again hastily, for he had seen one eye open carefully, and perhaps the bird was not dead. But it hung in his hand with all the drooping lassitude of death. He then placed the bird in his pocket. In a short time he felt it moving, but on looking at it there was no stir. The gentleman was a little perplexed, and laid it on the ground, and withdrew a little distance. Soon the corn-crake opened one eye, then slowly raised its head, and lastly the artful bird got upon its legs and darted off. A woman went to a circus in Terra Haute, Indiana, accompanied by eleven children, and when a neighbor asked her where the old man was, she said he was at home taking care of the children. Another neighbor called at the house, and seeing the old man trying to amuse nine young ones, asked where the old lady was. He said he had let her go to the circus with the children. NEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 19, 1870. Romantic Marriage—A Boy Weds His Guardian. The New Orleans Picayune of the 18th of October has the following: A few days since a well dressed and handsome youth, of some eighteen years of age, appeared before one of our city magistrates and asked if he could engage his services to perform a marital ceremony. The reply was in the affirmative, and the young man left, but shortly afterward returned, accompanied by a sombre looking female, middle-aged and dressed in black. "Is this your mother?" inquired the magistrate. "Oh, no, sir; this is the lady I desire to mary," replied the youth, as the lady threw aside her veil; disclosing a countenance wrinkled and sore, but on which for a moment gleamed a sort of icy smile. "Indeed!" "Oh, yes sir." "But are you of age?" "Not yet; but this lady is my guardian." "And she gives her consent?" "Yes, sir" The magistrate was in a quandary. He didn't know what to do. He hated to sacrifice the youth, and join the bright-faced May to the gloomy, fey December. "Isn't this a strange union?" he asked. Husbands and Their Habits Some husbands never leave home in the morning without kissing their wives and bidding them "good bye dear," in the tones of unwearied love; and whether it be policy or fact it has all the effect of fact. Those homes are generally pleasant ones, provided always that the wives are appreciative, and welcome the disciple in a kindly spirit. We know a old gentleman who lived with his wife over fifty years, and never left home without the kiss and the "goodbye," Some husbands shake hands with their wives and hurry off as fast as possible, though the effort were something that they were anxious to forget, holding their heads down and darting around the first corner. Some husbands will leave home without saying anything at all but thinking a good deal, as evinced by their turning around at the last point of observation and waiving an adieu to the pleasant face or faces at the window. Some husbands never say a word, rising from the breakfast-table with the loft indifference of a lord, and going out with a heartless disregard for those leftovers. It is a fortunate thing for their wives that they can find sympathy elsewhere. Some husbands never leave home without some unkind word or look apparently thinking that such a couran will keep things straight in their abode. Then on returning some huntsmen... Indeed! Oh, yes sir. But are you of age? Not yet; but this lady is my guardian." And she gives her consent?" Yes, sir. The magistrate was in a quandary. He didn't know what to do. He hated to sacrifice the youth, and join the bright-faced May to the gloomy, levy December. "Isn't this a strange union?" he asked. "Not at all," replied the expectant bride. "I have a large amount of property which I desire to leave this young man. As I have relatives who might dispute the will were I to give it him as a legacy, I prefer to marry him." "And you are content to marry the woman for her money?" asked the justice. "Well, I shouldn't marry her for anything else!" frankly replied the boy lover. "Sheain't pretty." And without more ado the ceremony was concluded. A Promising Boy.—A certain judge while attending court in a shire town, was passing along a road when a boy was letting down the bars to drive some cattle in. His father stood in the door of his house, on the opposite side of the road and seeing what his hopeful was doing, shouted out: "John, don't you drive them cattle in there; I told you to put them in the pasture behind the house." The boy took no notice whatever of the remonstrance, and his father repeated the order in a louder tone, without the least effect, and the third time gave positive orders not to drive the cattle in there. The son didn't deign to look up, and disobeyed the parental injunction with a coolness which positively shocked the judge; who, looking at the culprit, said, in a tone of official dignity: "Boy, don't you hear your father speaking to you?" "Oh, y-a-a-s," replied the boy, looking at the judge, "but I don't mind what he says. Mother don't neither, and 'tween she and I we've about got the dog so he don't." An Editor Plays Base Ball.—An editor was advised to play base ball, by his physician, and at the end of two weeks gives the following as his experience: I have played two weeks, and I dont of observation and waiving an adjournment to the pleasant face or faces at the window. Some husbands never say a word, rising from the breakfast-table with the loft indifference of a lord, and going out with a heartless disregard for those left behind. It is a fortunate thing for their wives that they can find sympathy elsewhere. Some husbands never leave home without some unkind word or look apparently thinking that such a course will keep things straight in their absence. Then on returning, some husbands come home pleasant and happy unsoured by the world; some sulky and surly with its disappointments. Some husbands bring home a newspaper or book,and bury themselves for "saving in its contents. Some husbands are called away every evening by business or social engagements: some doze in speechless stupidity on the sofa until bed time. Some husbands are curious to learn of their wives what has transpired through the day; others are attached by nothing short of a child tumbling down stairs, or the house taking fire. Delicious.—"Perhaps there is no period so pleasant among all the pleasant periods of love-making as that in which the intimacy between lovers is so measured, and the coming event so near as to produce and endure the conversation about the ordinary little matters of life; what can be done with the limited means at their disposal; how that life shall be begun which they shall lead to gether; what ideas each has of the other's duties; what each can do for the other. There was a true sense of the delight of intimacy in the girl who declared that she never loved her lover so well as when she told him how many pairs of stockings she had got. It is very sweet to gaze on the stars, and it is sweet to sit out among the hay-cocks. The reading of poetry together out of the same book, with brows close and arms all mingled, is very sweet; then pouring out of whole hearts in written words which the writer knows would be held to be ridiculous by any eyes or ears and sense but those of the dead one to whom they are sent, is very sweet; but for a girl who has made a shirt for the man she loves, there has come a moment in the last stich of it sweeter than any stars, hay-cock or poetry, or superlative epithets have produced." AN EDITOR PLAYS BASE BALL.—An editor was advised to play base ball, by his physician, and at the end of two weeks gives the following as his experience: I have played two weeks, and I don't think I like the game. I've looked over the scorer's book and find that I have broken seven bats, made one tally, broken one umpire's jaw, broken ten windows in adjoining houses, killed a baby, broken the leg of a dog, mortally injured the breadbasket of a spectator, knocked the waterfall from a schoolmarm who was standing twenty rods from the field, a quiet looker-on. I've used up fifteen bottles of arnica linament, five bottles of lotions, half a raw beef, and am so full of pain that it seems as if my limbs were but broken bats, and my legs the limbs of a dead horse-chestnut. CALIFORNIA PRODUCTS ABROAD.—The N. Y. Tribune has the following: It is pleasant to turn from the contemplation of the stony farms of New England to the rich field of California. They tell of a grapevine in the Tia Juana Valley, which is six inches in diameter in the trunk and is six feet in height before branching out. It contains a ton and a half of grapes of the finest Spanish variety, and of splendid flavor. At another place on the Mea Redonda, is corn of a superior quality, the stocks of which are from twelve to eighteen feet high, and there are pumpkins there in considerable quantity, averaging two feet in length. The width of the pumpkins the journalist omits to mention, but a general idea of the surprising richness of the land is given by these facts. The advent of a few such products as those at a Massachusetts Fair, would carry away both people and prizes. Go to Brodrick's to buy Stationery EYES.—There is a wonderful diversity among animals in respect to the number of their eyes. In mammals, it is limited to two, and always placed on the head. The greater part of the surface of the head of the house-fly is covered by an aggregation of about 10,000 eyes; and in the dragon fly they number 40,000, and may be easily seen by the use of a magnifying lens, even of very small power. They are always confined to the head alone; In spiders and scorpions there are generally eight or ten of them, in one or more clusters, on the dorsal aspect or that of the threene. The starfish or "five-fingers," familiar to every one who has spent any time on our sea coast, has an eye on the end of each ray or finger. In the sea urchin which is homologically nothing but a star-fish, with the ends of its rays drawn close together, the five eyes are gathered in a circle, around what is considered the hinder portion of the body. The scolop has numerous eyes on the edge of his mantle, extending from one end of the animal to the other, and forming a semi-circle. Some marine worms have them in clusters, not only on the head, but also on each side of the body, even to the tip of the tail, and they are connected individually and directly with the medium nervous chord. If we descend to the lowest forms, we may find many infusoria which have neither eyes nor nerves, and yet it is easy to see that they are sensitive to light, for they seek it or they avoid it. A gentleman in Washington, hard pushed for a compliment to a fair lady whose face was marred by an undeniably flat nose remarked, "Madam you are an angel fallen from heaven but you fell on your nose."

ANAHEIM GAZETTE.—We are in receipt of the first number of this paper which makes a most respectable appearance, and is published and edited by the proprietor, Geo. W. Barter, Esq., formerly a partner in the office of the Star. The want of a newspaper in Anaheim was greatly felt, and Mr. Barter stepped in and supplied the want. There is no reason why that locality, under the assistance of other parts of the county, should not support a newspaper, and we are satisfied Mr. Barter will offer a paper well worthy the patronage of the people. We wish Anaheim and the Gazette the utmost measure of success.—Los Angeles Daily Star. ANAHEIM GAZETTE.—We have received the first number of the above named paper, published at Anaheim, Los Angeles county, by G. W. Barter, formerly connected with the press of this city. If the Gazette continues to be what the first number is, a local paper, friend Barter, as well as the citizens of Anaheim, will reap a rich reward for their investment. You have our best wishes.—Oakland Termini. ANAHEIM GAZETTE.—We have received the first number of a new weekly paper, bearing the above title, published at Anaheim, by G. W. Barter. ANAHEIM GAZETTE. — We have received the first number of a new weekly paper, bearing the above title, published at Anaheim, by G. W. Barter. The Gazette is independent in politics, and devoted to the local interest of Anaheim and surrounding country. Mr. Barter is an experienced newspaper man, and a good writer. The typographical appearance of the new candidate is very neat.—Marysville Appeal. ANAHEIM GAZETTE. —The first number has reached us. It promises well. Home interests engage its earnest attention. We welcome the Gazette to the southern constellation. It has a goodly share of the noble work to be done in this fair land on its hands. But we regret to see it interested in the division of the County. Better device means to facilitate travel and communication to the County seat. A good narrow-gague railroad, which will cost less by far then a new county, will provide for the people of Anaheim a quick, cheap and daily communication with Los Angeles, and obviate all need of a separate County.—Santa Barbara Press. ANAHEIM GAZETTE. —The initial number of the Anaheim Gazette, was issued yesterday by G. W. Barter, late junior editor of the daily Star of this city. It is a five column paper, well filled with interesting matter, and makes a creditable appearance for a first number. The country about Anaheim is rapidly filling up and should be able to well sustain a local paper.—Los Angeles Daily News. ANAHEIM GAZETTE. —We have received the first number of the Gazette, a newspaper started at Anaheim by Mr. Geo. W. Barter, who recently was associated with Mr. Hamilton, in the publication of the Los Angeles Star. The Gazette makes a good appearance and seems to be receiving a fair advertising patronage. We know of no place in California where a paper could be started with better prospects of success than at the young and growing town of Anaheim. Success to the Gazette.—S. B. Guardian. The Anaheim Gazette is the name of a new paper published in Los Angeles A wonderful diversion in respect to the bees. In mammals, it and always placed on water part of the surrection of about 10,000 dragon fly they number easily seen by the lens, even of very rare are always confined in spiders and scorpions or ten more clusters, on the seat of the throne. The fingers," familiar to us spent any time on an eye on the end of it. In the sea urchin, really nothing but a bands of its rays drawn five eyes are gathered what is considered of the body. The eyes on the edge leading from one end other, and forming some marine worms ears, not only on the beach side of the body, the tail, and they are fully and directly with chord. If we deform forms, we may find such have neither eyes it is easy to see that no light, for they seek Washington, hard-ament to a fair lady, harred by an unde-marked, "Madam fallen from heaven, nor nose." The Anaheim Gazette is the name of a new paper published in Los Angeles county by Mr. G. W. Barter, who is editor and proprietor. It is intended to advocate the creation of the new county of Anaheim and no doubt will ably advocate the interests for which it is established. We wish the new enterprise every success. From the Gazette we clip the following: "The dry season has drawn to a close; the bountiful rains of an approaching winter are upon us. The temporary check to the growth and prosperity of Southern California, produced by the drouth, need give no cause of alarm, for among all our people, few there are indeed who do not find themselves better off to-day than at the beginning of the year In the valley Anaheim happily there is no doubt of this, for our people have raised abundant crops of corn and vegetables, and the wine has turned out largely in excess of any other season. Let our people be of good cheer, for the future of this valley is as full of hope and promise as any in the whole country.—Brooklyn Independent. A Dubuque grocer having had an unprecedented demand for vinegar for several days, bottles, mugs, jugs, basins, teapots, and other pots, having been constantly coming for a supply of the acid fluid, was tempted to try its quality for himself, when he discovered that he had tapped the wrong cask, and sold a barrel of old Bourbon wisky at ten cents a quart. An attendant in a circus in Tennessee, hit a head that he saw protruding under the canvass, and thus deprived the leading church of the services of its pastor the following Sunday.
