There are many friends of Summer, Who are kind when flowers bloom, But when winter chills the blossoms They depart with the perfume. On the bread highway of action, Friends of worth are far and few; So, when one has proved his friendship, Cling to him who clings to you. Do not harshly judge your neighbor, Do not deem his life untrue, When made do great profession— Deduce good though words are few. Those who stand amid the tempest, Firm as when the skies are blue, Will be friends while life endures— Cling to those who cling to you. When you see a worthy brother, Buffeting the stormy main, Lend a helping hand fraternal, Till he reach the heart's depth. Don't desert the old and tried friend, When misfortune comes to view. For he then needs friendship's comfort— Cling to those who cling to you. Farewell to Women.

Emotional insanity having been so often pleaded successfully by husbands in California in defense of shooting or knifing suspected gallants, the San Francisco News Letter says: "All men's wives who have hitherto enjoyed the advantage of our acquaintance are hereby notified that this ceases to day, never to be renewed. It is with deep grief that we disrupt the social relations which promised so much, but we feel impelled thereto by the first law of nature. Our lady friends who have the misfortune to be married to other and inferior men will please stick like a leach to their legal protectors, and not recognize us in the street. We have taken considerable pleasure in their society—a pleasure which we flatter ourselves has been mutual—but this thing can no longer be permitted to go on. We trust our motive, which is pure cowardice, will not be misconstrued. Somebody perishes ingloriously every day for being upon speaking terms with married women, and we do not care to have our turn come round. Deeply grateful for the past forbearance of aggrieved husbands, we make our bow and retire. Hereafter our bows and smiles will be lavished upon girls and widows exclusively; no others need aply. Whosoever shall attempt to introduce us to his own wife, or that of another man, will be regarded as a conspirator against our precious life, and subjected to abuse in the columns of this journal. Nature is strong in us, and we do not wish to die. Whenever we shall feel a desire that way, we shall treat somebody's wife with common courtesy, get shot, and go quietly to our reward." Child—"Mother, father will not be in heaven with us, will be?" Mother—"Why not, my child?" Child—"Why, because he will not have time to leave the store."

EIM GAZETT ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, JANUARY 21, 1871 An Elementary Lesson in Courtship One bright moonlight winter's night, in the days of "lang syne," when log schoolhouses, cheap schoolmasters, and blue beach rods were the only instrumentalities used in teaching the "young idea how to shoot." we chanced to attend a "spelling school" in a certain rural district, the geographical location of which it is not now necessary to mention. "Twas there, however, where our eyes first fell on a "fairy form" that immediately set our susceptible heart in a blaze. She was sixteen, or threesabouts, with bright eyes, red cheeks and cherry lips, while the auburn rin-lets clustered in a wealth of profusion around her beautiful head, and her person, to our ravished imagination, was more perfect in form and outline than the most faultless statue ever chizzled by the sculptor's art. As we gazed, our feelings, which never before had aspired girlward (we were scarcely eighteen), were fully aroused, and we determined to go home with her that night, or perish in the attempt! As soon, therefore, as school was dismissed, and our lady love suitably bonneted and cloaked, we appronounced to offer our services as contemplated, and we then learned an important lesson, viz: the difference between resolving and doing. As we neared her to put our design into exection, we seemed to be stricken with ognized It came to our shores at an anspicious period; and it was rocked in the Cradle of Liberty by a Washington, a Franklin, a Hancock, and a Warren. Unaffected by the tempests of war, the storm of persecution, or the denunciation of fanaticism, it still stands proudly erect, in the sunshine and clear light of heaven, with not a marble fractured— or a pillar fallen. It still stands, like some patriarchal monarch of the forest, with its vigorous roots rivited to the soil, and its broad limbs spread in bold outline against the sky; and in generations yet to come, as in ages past, the sunlight of honor and renown will delight to linger and play among its venerable branches. And if ever, in the Providence of God, blasted by the storm and riven by the lightning, it shall totter to its fall, around its trunk will the ivy of filial affection, that has so long clasped it still cling, and mantle with greenness and verdure its ruin and decay. How to Taste Brandy. A subscriber in the vinicultural distri­cts of California asks, whether there is no other way to ascertain the value of brandy in regard to its flavor, aroma, purity, etc., than the usual method, by smelling and tasting, and adds some complaining remarks which we will try to answer in the following: The usual method of tasting brandy, by plainly drawing a sample from the Women.

Cards. BAKERY in want of CAKES, ETIOMERY, very best, at the City which never before had aspired girl ward (we were scarcely eighteen), were fully aroused, and we determined to go home with her that night, or perish in the attempt! As soon, therefore, as school was dismissed, and our lady love suitably bonneted and cloaked, we apronached to offer our services as contemplated, and we then learned an important lesson, viz: the difference between resolving and doing. As we neared her to put our design into execution, we seemed to be stricken with a sudden blindness; then red green and yellow lights flashed upon our vision and appeared like witches in a phantasmagoria! Our knees smote together like Belshazzar's and our heart thumped with apparently as much force as if it were driving tenpenny nails into our ribs! We, in the meantime, having reached Sally's side, managed to mumble over something, which is perhaps known to the recording angel, but surely is not to us, at the same time poking out our elbow as nearly at right angles with our body as our physical conformation would admit. The night wind blew keenly, which served in some sort to revive us, and, as our sense returned, what were our emotions on finding the cherished object of our primal love clinging to our arm with the tenacity a drowning man is said to clutch a straw. Talk of elysium or sliding down greased rainbows, or feeding on German flutes; what are sich "phelinks" in comparison with those mighty ones that swelled our bosom nigh onto the bursting off of our waistcoat buttons! Our happiness was simply extatic, and ever young lady or gentleman who has ever felt the mighty throbbings of a newly fledged love, will completely understand the world of bliss hidden under that common word. Well, we walked on pleasantly toward our Sally's home, conversing very cosily and sweetly as we passed along until so courageous did we become that we actually proposed "to go in and sit awhile," to which our dulcina graciously assented. Alas, for us! how soon were we to be reminded that the "course of true love never did run smooth." Sally had a brother of ten summers, who accompanied us along the way, and who was in wonderful high glee at the idea of his sister having a beau; and he would circle around us and every now and then giggle in the height of his glee, and examine us as closely as if Sally and ourselves were the world renowned Siamese twins and he was taking his first look. Bill, by the way, was a stubbed, chuckle-headed boy, whose habiliments would have made the fortune of an ordinary dealer in mop and verdure its ruin and decay. How to Taste Brandy. A subscriber in the vinicultural districts of California asks, whether there is no other way to ascertain the value of brandy in regard to its flavor, aroma, purity, etc., than the usual method, by smelling and tasting, and adds some complaining remarks which we will try to answer in the following: The usual method of tasting brandy, by plainly drawing a sample from the cask and submit it to the judgment of nose and palate is anything but sufficient or reliable. Besides that it is not an easy task to examine a large lot of brandy of the uniform quality of which a purchaser wants to convince himself in this manner. He need not to swallow it down—the keeping it on tho palate, the inhaling of the bouquet will soon affect his brains and lead astray his judgment, however experienced a judge he may be. In the large grape distilleries of France the operation of degustation is usually left to certain employees, who by a long experience, acquired through a great number of years spent in the trade are good judges, but every proprietor and exact man of business likes to control even his best foreman, and to convince himself personally of the real fact How difficult is it not to find knowing and at the same time the sober man for such an office in our line of business. A chemical analysis also is in the usual way of business impracticable. We propose to our readers a plain and easy method which will enable them to examine personally any quantity of brandy without danger to their health, and with far more realibility than ever can be offered by the application of the old method. 1. Take two parts of water and one of the brandy that is to be examined If the brandy is mixed with strange substances of a poor character, as for instance bad essential oils, which exist in the brandy in a state of dissolution, they will be set free by the addition of the double quantity of water, because the alcohol in the brandy possesses far more affinity to the water than to these substances. This action of the water which separates the alcohol of the brandy from the essential oils, will be observed to be more prompt and more distinct by using hot water. This fact explains and justifies the custom in England, where a great portion of the brandies consumed are mixed with hot water. They enjoy by this another advantage: the flavor and the aroma of fine Cognac brandy reaches a development of the Sally had a brother of ten summers, who accompanied us along the way, and who was in wonderful high glee at the idea of his sister having a beau; and he would circle around us and every now and then giggle in the hight of his glee, and examine us as closely as if Sally and ourself were the world renowned Siamese twins and he was taking his first look. Bill, by the way, was a stubbed, chuckle-headed boy, whose habiliments would have made the fortune of an ordinary dealer in mop rags. At length we arrived at the bare, and while we were letting them down, Bill shot past us and tore for the house as it purged by a thousand bulls of Bashan. He flung the door open with a bang, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Mother! mother! Jim Clark's comin' ham with Sal!" "Is he?" screamed the old woman in reply. "Wal, I declare! I didn't think the saphead knew enough!" Reader, we didn't go in. Antiquity of Masonry At the banquet given on the occasion of the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the Lodge of St. Andrew, Boston, Mass., November 29, 1856, the toast, "The Antiquity and Universality of Masonry," was given, and R. W. Bro. Chas. W. Moore, then Grand Secretary, and the oldest member of the Lodge was called on to respond. We regret our inability, from want of space, to give his speech in full, but the following peroration is so full of the poetry of language that we cannot refrain from presenting it to our readers: "Masonry is indeed a universal institution. History does not furnish its parallel. It exists where Christianity has not gone; and its claims will be respected, anywhere the superior claims of religions would fail. It is never obscured by the darkness of night. The eye of the day is always upon it. Its footprints are to be traced to the most distant regions of the earth. Among all civilized people, and in all Christianized lands, its existence is senses far more affinity to the water than to these substances. This action of the water which separates the alcohol of the brandy from the essential oils, will be observed to be more prompt and more distinct by using hot water. This fact explains and justifies the custom in England, where a great portion of the brandies consumed are mixed with hot water. They enjoy by this another advantage: the flavor and the aroma of fine Cognac brandy reaches a development of the highest degree by the addition of boiling water. 2. The brandies distilled in certain districts always differ somewhat from each other in their taste and flavor and this taste also makes a difference in their value. The more pure and the more free of any soily taste the brandy shows itself, the higher is its value. Thus the different growths of brandy in France are classified in Bois, Borderies, Champagne, etc. All are Cognac brandies, but of different market value. We are not yet personally acquainted with the different products in our vinicultural districts, but we dare say that with the extension of grape distilling a similar system of clarification will become a necessity. The same offers a special medium for examination. If you are offered, for instance, a sample of brandy that is represented to be from a certain high quoted quality, it will be best to ascertain its origin, and the place of its production. However fine the taste and aroma may be, the flavor peculiar to the product of its district must be pronounced to some degree; if not this flavor has been suppressed by artificial means, or the brandy is a more product of pure spirits and essential oil. A knowledge of the peculiar taste of the brandies from different districts offers a most reliable basis for examining brandy, because there is no brandy from grapes produced which is entirely without such attribute, even the finest grades of Cognac are not—Wine & Fruit Reporter. FORTUNE UNEXPECTED A few days since an aged woman, who lived in the vicinity of Fifth and Diamond street, in hunting over a box of nick-nax, which accumulate in every household, chanced to find an old and dirt begrimmed breastpin, which, almost a score of years ago, her father had given to her. It had some stones in it which she thought of no particular value. She carried it to a jeweler for repair. After scrutinizing it he asked her if she knew its value. "Well," she replied, "there may be about $5 worth of gold in it;" whereupon he offered her $800 cash down for it. This staggered her. She then learned that the stones, of which there were ten, were each two-carat diamonds of the very finest description; five of them having a peculiar bluish tint that gives them a great value. Upon taking the pin into a large Chinatown street establishment, she was offered $2,000 cash for it, and another offer was $350 for each of the tinted stones. Words cannot describe the joy of this aged lady, whose circumstances were far from comfortable, when she discovered the worth of this ornament, which for years had been shuffled about in a box of rubbish.

Fever is apt to prevail, but the loss of blood and the counter irritation produced by the mosquito are beneficial in preventing such a result of the climate. Besides, the unceasing scratching is a necessary exercise for persons not otherwise inclined to undergo much exertion; so nothing has been made in vain, and Noah was justified in preserving this class of animals in the world's ark. They tell of a spring in Michigan strongly magnetic that a man who drank from it and went into a blacksmith shop found the anvil on which he sat stuck fast to him, and had to have it amputated. A reverend gentleman was addressing a sabbath school concert at Boston Highland, a recent Sunday night, and was trying to enforce the doctrine that the hearts of the little ones were sinful, and needed to be given to Christ. Taking out his watch, and holding it up, he said: "Now here is my watch; suppose it don't keep good time; now goes too fast, and now too slow; what shall I do with it?" "Sell it!" shouted a flaxen-headed youngster: It is said that the grandfather of Alex. Dumas, the French novelist, was a full-blooded African SCIENTIFIC ORIGINALS. The Earth's Interior. It is a commonly accepted belief that matter has greater weight at the surface of the Earth than above or at its center. It is supposed that a pound weighs three-quarters of a pound at one thousand miles distance beneath the surface, and gradually diminish in that ratio until at the center of the Earth it would weigh nothing at all. Weight decreases as we go upward, inversely as the square of the distance increases downward, as the distance from the center of the Earth decreases. Notwithstanding, then, that the center of gravity is at the Earth's center, according to this theory, the great strength and cohesion of matter must be at its surface. But as nobody has ever been "under the crust," the above may not look entirely plausible to ha The Earth's Exterior. Is it not probable that the Earth is revolving and passing around the Sun, in a kind of fluid finer and different from our air? Nature abhors vacuum, and it is scarcely possible that there is absolutely no substance, however etherial, filling the vast space above our atmosphere and between us and the other worlds. It is thought that there may be an unknown fluid compressing against our air, and not mixing with it. The air thus may be preventing friction, and fulfilling, practically, the same objects that guttapercha does to the inside and wheel of a car, oh!
