BRIDAL PRESENTS: I did not purchase for my bride Rich jeweled rings and costly fans, But what I thought would be her pride— A set complete of pets and pams. I would not win sweet Jenny's love By golden gifts of magic power, If she a proper wife would prove, She would prefer some bags of flour. I did not play with Jenny's heart, Her try to fix if it were sickle, But seat, distrusting modern art, A side of pork for her plinkle. I did not give her rubles red. To lend her raven hair relief; But what would sharm when we were wed, A good supply of potted beef. I did not wanton with her love, That pined to nestle on my breast, Just like a drooping tired dove, But sent a couch where it could rest. I did not when the moon was bright, Take Jenny out for tranquil walk, But took her—what would more delight? A dozen each of knives and forks. I did not send her flow'rets bright, whose brightness, ah! so quickly wanes, But comfort in the darkest night, A set of sheets and counterpanes. And so at last our little store Would furnish well an ivied cot; But then—I should have said before— She jilted me and kept the lot. The Secrets of the Ocean.

Mr. Green, the famous diver, gives the following sketch of what he saw at the "Silver Bank," near Hayti: The banks of coral upon which my divings were made are about forty miles long, and from ten to twelve miles in breadth. On this bank of coral is presented to the diver one of the most beautiful and sublime scenes the eye ever beheld. The water varies from ten to one hundred feet in depth, and is so clear that the diver can see from 200 to 300 feet when submerged. The bottom of the ocean, in many places, is as smooth as a marble floor, in others it is studded with coral columns, from ten to one hundred feet in height, and from one to eighty feet in diameter. The tops of those more lofty support a myriad of pyramidal pendants, each forming a myriad more, giving reality to the imaginary abode of some waternymph. In other places the pendants form arch over arch; and as the diver stands on the bottom of the ocean, and gazes through in the deep winding avenue, he finds that they fill him with as sacred an awe as if he had been in some old cathedral which had long been buried beneath old ocean's waves Here and there the coral extends to the surface of the water, as if the loftier columns were towers, belonging to those stately temples that are now in ruins. There are countless varieties of diminutive trees, shrubs, and plants, in every crevice of the corals where water had deposited the earth. They were all of a faint hue, owing to the pale light they received, although of every shade, and entirely different from plants that I am familiar with, that vegetate upon dry land. One in particular attracted my attention; it resembled a sea fan of immense size, varigated colors of the most brilliant hue. The fish which inhabit there "Silver Banks" I found as different in kind as the scenery was varied. They were of all forms, colors and sizes—from the symmetrical goby to the globe-like sunfish, from the dulish hue to the changeable dolphin —Journal of the Telegraph.

The following should receive the careful attention of every parent, as well as every young man in the country: A child beginning to read becomes delighted with newspapers, because he reads of names and things which are very familiar, and he will make progress accordingly. A newspaper in one year is worth a quarter's schooling to a child; and every father must consider that substantial information is connected with this advancement. The mother of a family, being one of its heads, and having a more immediate charge of her children, should herself be interested. A mind occupied becomes fortified against the ills of life, and is braced for any emergency. Children amused by reading or study, are of course more considerate and more easily governed. How many thoughtless young men have spent their evenings in taverns or grog-shops who ought to have been reading? How many parents, who never spent twenty dollars for their families, would gladly have given thousands to reclaim a son or daughter who had ignorantly or thoughtlessly fallen into temptation? Pay Small Debts.—Small bills should be promptly paid. The men to whom they are due generally need the mony. The little bills are the ones that make numberless gaps in the world of business. How much comfort to families. Neck-Tie Parties. Neck-tie parties promise to be the "rage" this winter. Doubtless many of our readers are enquiring by this time "what is a neck-party?" A neck-tie party is one where each lady attending makes a bow, or neck-tie, of the same material as the dress she wears. The bows are to be taken to the place where the party is to be held and placed in a bag. When the gentlemen arrive, each man must go to the bag and take a neck tie, and it is his duty to wait upon the lady, during the evening, who wears the dress corresponding in material with the neck-tie which he takes from the bag. It is desirable for the ladies to all wear dresses of different patterns at a neck-tie party. Much amusement usually attends this lottery for a party, and it sometimes occurs in this case, as in matrimonial lotteries, that the most congenial spirits do not come together. THE RIVER IN THE OCEAN.—There is a river in the ocean. In the severest drought it never fails, and in the mightiest floods it never overflows. Its banks and its bottom are of cold water, while its current is warm. The Gulf of Mexico is its fountain and its mouth is the Arctic seas. It is the Gulf Stream. There is in the world no other so majestic a flow of water. Its current is more rapid than the Mississippi or the Amazon, and its value more than a PAY SMALL DEBTS.—Small bills should be promptly paid. The men to whom they are due generally need the money. The little bills are the ones that make numberless gaps in the world of business. How much comfort to families, cheer to desponding business men, and encouragement generally, would be given by the immediate discharge of all little, and perhaps half forgotten obligations! Pay small debts and do it at once. ENTERPRIISING BED BUGS.—The Des Moines Register has an amusing story of the adventures of a drummer in search of a not over "lively" hotel in Omaha. We have only room for the finale. After inglorious attempts to find "nature's sweet restorer," at sundry hotels, he finally approached the——House and rather liking the appearance of the place, he walked in and walked up to the register to enter his name. Imagine his dismay at seeing an old grey-headed bed-bug crawling over the page on which he had just registered his name! He throw down his pen and started for the door, exclaiming as he went; Well Omaha may take the broom. Fv been bied by Kansas flies, bitten by Missouri spiders, and interviewed by Montana graybacks, but I'll be—if I was ever in a place before where the bed bugs looked over the hotel register to find out where your room was! WHITE WINE OF SULPHURIC TASTE.—A subscriber asks, how can white wines be freed of a sulphuric taste? Answer—If you are not in a hurry to ship the wine or sell it to consumers, it will be sufficient to clear the wine, rack it off and let it rest for some time. The flavor of sulphur will disappear gradually. But if you like to apply a more expedient method, you may make use of a homoeopathic cure, by removing the sulphuric taste with the aid of sulphuric gas. Take two or three gallons of wine out of the cask, fasten a wick well saturated with sulphur on the bung, light the wick and let it burn off, after the bung has been tightly driven in. Then turn the cask upside down, and leave it in such position for 48 hours. The sulphuric gas, after the combustion of the wick, will destroy the flavor of the sulphur.—Wine and Fruit Reporter. THE RIVER IN THE OCEAN.—There is a river in the ocean. In the severest drought it never fails, and in the mightiest floods it never overflows. Its banks and its bottom are of cold water, while its current is warm. The Gulf of Mexico is its fountain and its mouth is the Arctic seas. It is the Gulf Stream. There is in the world no other so majestic a flow of water. Its current is more rapid than the Mississippi or the Amazon, and its value more than a thousand times greater. Its waters as far out as the Carolina coast are of indigo blue. They are so distinctly marked that the line of junction with the common sea water may be traced with the eye. Often one-half the vessel may be seen floating in the Gulf stream water, while the other half is in the common water, so sharp is the line and the want of affinity between these waters, and such too, the reluctance, so to speak, on the part of those of the Gulf Stream, to mingle with the waters of the sea. In addition to this there is another peculiar fact: The fishermen on the coast of Norway are all supplied with wood from the tropics by means of the Gulf Stream. Think of the Arctic fishermen burning upon their hearths the palms of Hayti, the mahogany of Honduras, and the precious woods of the Orinoco and the Amazon.—Figaro. WINE SHOWING FLOWERS.—The appearance of flowers on the surface of the wine is not always a symptom of acescence through the whole volume of wine in the cask. It is not only possible, but even probable, that only the wine near the surface is turning to acidity. There is still some danger in the usual method of drawing it off, that the sound and the sour wine may be mixed, and thus the whole may turn acid. For preventing this, the following operation is recommended: A tin tube is let into the wine down to two or three inches above the bottom of the cask, while the upper mouth of the tube is closed by the thumb. A funnel is placed then on the tube, through which is poured a sound wine of the same quality. This wine, passing through the tube into the lower couches of the wine in the cask, will soon make rise the surface with the flowers. They will soon pass through the bung, and with them you may let out as much of the wine as you find to be infected. Should there remain attached to the wood of the cask a trace of acidity, it can easily be repaired by a racking, or even by a moderate addition of sound wine.—Wine and Fruit Reporter. A SINGULAR NAVAL BATTLE NEAR HAVANA.—A naval duel, formally arranged at Havana, took place on the 9th inst., ten miles off the Cuban coast, between the Prussian gunboat Meteor and the French gunboat Bouvet. The Spanish war steamer Hernandes Cortes attended as umpire, with the Captain, general and other officials on board. After an interchange of five shots the Bouvet attempted to board, but her rigging got in a "mess" with the Meteor her main and mizzen mast went overboard, and the rigging going along with them entangled the Meteor's screws. The latter just then smashed the Bouvet's steampipe with a shell, and the Frenchman forthwith made haste to get away. The Meteor, though unable at the moment to pursue, kept up fire on the fugitive, and was duly declared the victor. The Bouvet had three wounded and the Meteor two killed and one wounded. The Germans at Havana are arranging a grand banquet for the officers of the Meteor. "The manufacture of sins," says Arthur Helps, "is so easy a manufacture, that I am convinced man could readily be persuaded that it was wicked to use the left leg as much as the right; whole congregations would only permit themselves to hop, and would consider that when they walked in the ordinary fashion they were committing a deadly sin." An Eastern editor asks his subscribers to pay him, that he may play the same joke on his creditors. Why Women Can't Run.—The bones of the lower limbs are differently arranged in women than in men. One of the consequences of this is, that no woman can run gracefully. They run, says a witty Frenhman, as if they intended to be overtaken. We have heard many women complain of their husbands neglect of home. A spoonful of honey will keep more bees in the hive than will ten of vinegar. A lady in Syracuse is said to rest her head on a grammar while sleeping, in order that she may dream correctly. A New physiological discovery has been made by a young man—namely, that the pulse of the young ladies generally beats stronger in the palm of the hand than the wrist. As to more elderly females, even little boys know by stern experience that the palm of the maternal hand beats awful strong. "There is no accounting for taste." We chew tobacco, the Hindoos lime, and the Patagonians guano. Our children delight in candy, the Africans in salt, while the Esquimaux leap for a bit of tallow candle. To us, turtles are a savory dish; the French revel on frogs and snails; the savages on snakes. Faults.—If you would find a great many faults; look upon the outside. If you would find them in greater abundance look within. Shipments of Wine, Etc. Following is a statement of the kind and quantity of wines and other California products, shipped from San Francisco to New York by vessels, from January 1st to November 30th, 1870: California Wines 1,406 casks, 934 cases; California Brandies, 503 casks; Champagne, 130 doz bottles; Cordials, 5 casks, 612 cases; Whisky, 75 bbls; Vinegar, 2 casks; Sardines, 90 cases; Mustard, 2,386 bags; Almonds, 13 pkgs; Walnuts, 250 pkgs; Cigars 66 cases. A Perplexed Frenchman A Frenchman said to an American, "T'ere is von vord in your language I do not comprehend, and all ze time I hear it. Tattletoo, tattletoo—vat you means by tattletoo?" the American insisted that no such word exists in English. While he was saying so his servent came in to put coal on the fire, when he said, "There, John, that'll do." The Frenchman jumped up, exclaiming: "T'ere! tattletoo! you say him yourself, saro. Vat means tattletoo?" A brother editor says that he comes as near publishing a paper for nothing as can be done and succeed. We can safely challenge him on that point considering the number of subscriptions. There is in the severeest mud in the mightiest streams. Its banks hold water, while the Gulf of Mexico's mouth is the Gulf Stream. Other so much its current is Mississippi or the one more than a mile. Its waters as coast are of interest so distinctly of junction with may be traced one-half the vesic浮ating in the other half, so sharp is the diffinity between too, the reluctance part of those single with the addition to this fact: The fish Norway are all in the tropics by stream. Think of burning upon the hills of Hayti, the and the pre-vinoco and the owers. The appearance surface of the symptom of acesis volume of wine is only possible, only the wine being to acidity. Never in the usual self that the sound be mixed, and an acid. The following added: the wine down above the bothe upper mouth the thumb. A tube through wine of the wine, passing the lower couches will soon make flowers. They are the bung, and about as much of it to be infected. Attached to the face of acidity, it may a racking, or condition of sound Reporter. A brother editor says that he comes as near publishing a paper for nothing as can be done and succeed. We can safely challenge him on that point considering the number of subscribers. We have a large list not one-fifth of whom ever think of paying until the year is out. They think an editor is so full of wind that he need never eat, and that the man from whom he buys his paper at the Bay takes his pay in rags. They think we are joking when we ask them for a year's subscription, and never pay any attention to it or pay the bill either.—Yolo Mail. We regret to say there are many of our subscribers who seem to think the same way, and it appears to be utterly impossible to convince them that we are not able to live on air. TAKING THE CHANCES. Several years ago there lived in a country town an old man who had a propensity for stealing small and portable articles that came in his way. As he was poor and past labor, and well known about town, no further notice was taken of his peculiarities than to keep sharp lookout when he was about. A dealer had a quantity of dry fish landed on the wharf at an hour too late to get them into his shop, and as he was about covering them with an old sail cloth, he espied old Brown, apparently reconnoitering. Selecting a couple of fish, he said: "Here, Brown I must leave these fish out here to night, and will give you these two if you promise me that you will not steal any." "That is a fair offer, Mr. Allen, but—well—I don't know," with a glance at the proffered fish and then at the pile, "I think I can do better!" THE ALLIGATOR AT HOME. The female alligator will not allow the male to approach her nest. He has a glutton habit of eating all the eggs, thus necessitating her laying more, which she does not like to do. So, whenever she catches him in that neighborhood, she thrashes him on general principles—he either has done mischief or intends it; at any rate he is meddling in domestic matters and deserves snubbing. I am told that it is really amusing to see the big bully stick his tail between his legs and sneak off, after one of those conjugal scoldings. He is not by any means a model husband; and although he takes Judge Portly says the liveliest time he ever experienced was on issuing the first number of a newspaper in a Western town. The people wanted something stirring. He published the personal history of the leading politicians as furnished by their friends. The Judge says that for the first hour they all rushed for the paper; the second hour they went for him. Industry will make a purse, and frugality will give strings to it. This purse will cost you nothing. Draw the strings as frugality directs, and you always will find a useful penny at the bottom. Good breeding and soft words have been not inaptly compared to cotton and other soft material placed between china or glass ware to prevent injurious collision. An open mind, an open hand and an open heart will find everywhere an open door. One-half of the opposition steamship William Tabor is offered for sale to coast merchants for $65,000,
