They are essential as your break before which you should make them. There, young ladies, you sensible opinion, and some very some advice. We dare venture to sertion that there are many young in this town who make their appearance at the breakfast table in a dition of drowsiness that would positive discredit to the veriest slate of the kitchen, and there are parents who not only tolerate but luctly encourage this most unpardonable untidiness. There is no excuse for it. Unwashed face and unkempt hair, unlaced gaiters, undressed or an uncleanly wrapper should ever be on or about the person of a lady, or an old one either. Co-decency, not to speak of respect or rents or self, forbid them. We as soon encounter a young lady with lighted cigar or a show of tobacco month, says an exchange of these savvy creatures. Let if there be any among our girl reckon themselves whether they willingly be seen in such unseemier tire by the young gentlemen they meet in the parlor. If they not, then there is no apology worse than untidiness.—Exchange Since the papers told of the who got married by washing a face in the street, all the sensible carry towels with them.

The New Baby A new love is a new revelation of the Divine Heart. It is the uncovering of a sacred mystery. It is the soul's triumphant solution of an enigma perceiv ed hitherto, but unsolved. When the little life first pulsates against the mother's breast, it opens to her as through a mystic gateway a new world of experiences, a new and grand existence of thought, of happiness, and responsibility, and hope. As the tiny human bud with rosy petals all enfolded first begins to disclose its delicate beauty in the dawning smile, in the hints of intelligence, in the winning infantile sweetness appreciable only to the mother's heart, how, like the rich welcome overflow of summer clouds, does her whole pentup being dissolve itself into showers of a full, unsuspected, surprising love! The little living thing, more quaint and beautiful than any other week-old creature in all Nature's vast menagerie seems as if just moulded and chiseled by the Infinite One, with touches of most delicate tools, and strokes of most skillful care. The beautiful head with its forehead pure and full enough for a crown:—the lake-deep eyes with the soul-light kindling them like a glorious beacon from afar, into star-sparkles;—the funny, dimpling-nose which parades as yet no character;—the wavy cutcoral mouth, soft, warm palpitating, as if prophecies of the misty future trembled Harber Improvements in Southern California. While the harbor of San Diego was some day be the great shipping point of Southern California, from the Mexico can line and far below, and to a point considerably to the north of San Juan Capistrano in the other direction, the day may not possibly be greatly distant when the Government will perceive the imperative necessity of making a generous appropriation for the improvement of one of the most central of the many roadsteads between the harbor of San Diego and that of Santa Cruz Monterey. At the present time, if we are not mistaken, a vigorous effort being made by some of the capitalists of Los Angeles County to induce Congress to appropriate a vast sum money for the purpose of constructing a breakwater near the roadstead of San Pedro or Wilmington Bay. While we can fully comprehend the commercial dangers and inconveniences attending shipments of produce, &c., from the interior of this rich and growing country we seriously question whether the projectors of this breakwater have selected the most feasible, safe and suitable location for the prosecution of such important enterprise. With all respect to the locators, Wilmington, in our possession, is the most unhappy selection that could have been made. It is generally conceded that it would require least two to five millions of dollars erect a permanent breakwater at t of you ever see an eleinquired a teacher of an claimed one. asked the teacher. elephant,” said the boy allowing dialogue: “let how do you sell your rd.” has it been out:” has it been since you cut than it is now.” when Patrick O’Flynn was collar and bosom sadly was indignantly asked Flynn! how long do you right inches, sir.” dus us of an instance which occurred recently in New York, where a was clamorously beseiged peper. many fine shirts?” said the assortment.

No umble your room may be ings it should contain, viz: creature in all Nature’s vast menagerie seems as if just moulded and chiseled by the Infinite One, with touches of most delicate tools, and strokes of most skillful care. The beautiful head with its forehead pure and full enough for a crown—the lake-deep eyes with the soul-light kindling them like a glorious beacon from afar, into star-sparkles; the funny, dimpling nose which parades as yet no character; the wavy cutoral mouth, soft, warm palpitating, as if prophecies of the misty future trembled in its contours—all, are so many samples of minute and exquisite sculpture animated and illuminated by soul-presence. There is something in the undulating outlines of the baby form, so pure, so polished, so perfect, that makes us sure an awaked fairy, sylph or spirit lies within. There are constant hints even in its appealingly helpless slumber of marvelous destiny linked to its fragile infanthood. The mother’s heart dwells upon all the little fledgeling’s possibilities with more actual delight than that with which ever millionaire counted his wealth, and wrought out in fancy the cathedrals and palaces it would rear to the heavens. As we know nothing, so we fancy much. As its hereafter is dropped from Love’s sight like a pearl in the great ocean, so that delicate-fingered Love weaves for her canvas ‘fine twined linen,’ and paints it over with flowers and landscapes of a most gorgeous Hope. Could we lift the veil whose broidered folds hang in silent petrified persistence before our impatient vision, how clamorous would be the outcries of joy in you lowly cottage, for lo! that baby-mould holds in temporary durance a giant spirit that shall sway an empire—a wise law-giver who shall civilize a nation,—a glorious good man who shall ripen into a saint! How that gilded chamber of wealth would ring with lamentation, for lo! the future lies wrapped like a hideous chrysalis worm in that smiling child! The mother sees it, and the father sees it, and immediately the joy-lamps that shone through all life’s darkness before, are quenched, for the oil of faith and hope has burned out, and henceforth their path is in the midst of a ‘waste howling wilderness.’ Could human hearts penetrate the veiled image which is shrined in every baby-soul, how would the worn, suffering hearts of stricken mothers through all the land, break into conflicting ores of grief and gladness, reverent awe, and despairing horror? What inspiration! What agony! What fulfilled prophecies! What impending doom! What blight! What blossoming! What death thross! From the end of the dock at Anaheim Landing to the steamer chorage it is distant about a mile and half. Between this dock and anchorage there is a channel four feet deep water. This channel is of a charable character, and is made to shift the influence of the current, which flows from the creek near by at rate of nearly six miles an hour. Now by driving a row or more of piles across the bar, through which the charm makes its way, the force of water from the creek would naturally bank against the piling, leaving channel not only free, but cutting deeper and deeper and deeper until steamer could float with safety upward.

What inspiration! What agony! What fulfilled prophecies! What impending doom! What blight! What blossoming! What death throes! What immortal throbbings! Thank God for the Veil. For now under the sweet heaven of the Unknown, all the future's round of cherub faced possibilities, circle the cradle of every newborn babe. In every infantile breast is looked the unguested, measure less wealth of eternity;—the latent life of an angel. When Isaac Hooper, a member of the Society of Friends, met a boy with a dirty face or hands, he would stop him, and inquire if he ever studied chemistry. The boy with a wondering stare, would answer, "No!" "Well, then, I will teach thee how to perform a curious chemical experiment," said Friend Hooper. "Go home, take a piece of soap, put it in water, and rub it briskly on thy hands and face. thou hast no idea what a beautiful froth it will make, and how much whiter thy skin will be. That is a chemical experiment. I advice thee to try it." A Brooklyn lady, residing in a German city, which is heavily taxed for both men and money by the war, writes to her friends that the cost of living is so much increased in consequence that she has to pay sixty-five cent for a pair of white kid gloves "with two buttons;" that a new silk bonnet costs nearly a dollar in gold; a cab for two persons to the opera and back; thirty-seven cents; and washing is charged for at the extravagant rate of twelve cents a dozen pieces. This channel is of a charitable character, and is made to shift the influence of the current, which flows from the creek near by at a rate of nearly six miles an hour. Not by driving a row or more of piles across the bar, through which the chain makes its way, the force of water from the creek would naturally bank on sand against the piling, leaving a channel not only free, but cutting deeper and deeper and deeper until steamer could float with safety up the dock. The estimated cost of an enterprise would range in the neighborhood of $50,000, or less, and accommodate a vast amount of commercial movement. In the construction of a brakeway at Wilmington it would be necessary to run a stone wall, four feet above water, from the extreme point Rattlesnake Island to Dead Man Island, nearly a mile and a half in length (north and south); also, a wall of same height from Fisherman's Pond (San Pedro) to within a quarter mile of Dead Man's Island (east west), the wall being half a mile length. This, it is said, would rest the harbor perfectly safe, and create permanent channel. But it would so disinterested navigators say, between two and five millions of dollars. Congress, then, in these days of rev reform and rigid economy, sink millions of dollars in combatting natural structions in their most desperate foe or even five hundred thousand dolls and attempt the construction of a brakewater right out in the open sea, and a point which can only accommodate few; or will that body not rattle it moves at all, spend a few ten thousands of dollars at the Ana Landing, which is entirely susceptible of improvement, can be converted to a safe and commodious anchorage on the most central roadstead in Los Angeles County, and is the fountain of a vast artery of communics MOVEMENTS IN SOUTH-CALIFORNIA.

With all respect Wilmington, in our immost unhappy selection been made. It is genthat it would require at millions of dollars to not breakwater at this which leads into an interior detted with cities, towns, villages, settlements and vineyards, and the generally-pronounced richest and largest agricultural tracts in Southern California?—San Diego Bulletin. ACIDITY.—Whenever the wine casks are not perfectly closed to the air, or when it has been neglected to keep them full up to the bung, the wine, and especially white wine, in a cellar of insufficiently low temperature, soon will undergo an acid fermentation, and if nothing is done to save it, a complete transformation into vinegar may be the consequence. The restoration of wine, in which the first traces of an acid fermentation make their appearance, may be effected in a plain and easy manner by the application of charcoal, best of linden wood, well prepared and perfectly carbonized in clean and tightly closed vessels. The same is strictly crushed to a fine powder, and thrown into the cask containing the acid wine, at the rate of one ounce per gallon. The bung is put on tight and the cask well rolled to bring all the parts of the wine in contact with the coal. The cask is then completely filled, tightly bunged, and left to rest in the cellar for a fortnight. After this time the wine is refined with isinglass or the white of eggs in the usual manner, and racked off into another clean cask, where it will soon be ready for use. But it should be well understood, that Wilmington, in our immost unhappy selection been made. It is gen- that it would require at the millions of dollars to rent breakwater at this if it could be construct.

Whence Man Comes, and Whither He Goes. From an atom—from chaos itself, we have generated forth, by successive stages of formation, until at last we realize existence. We regard it as a great change, to pass from this life to one incalculably superior, by dissolution; but, if we look backward to our origin at nothing, or at most, mere invisible specks, located somewhere within the labyrinths of two human organisms—and consider with what rapidity of growth and incomprehensible devices of nature we have arrived at our present grand condition — we may well conclude that to die and be ushered forward under the immutable care of great Nature, to an existence, even if entirely outside the pale of the farther-most visible stars, would be proportionately no greater nor more miraculous than the metamorphoses through which we have already passed; from nothing to something. The following diagram will illustrate the course of life: a channel is of a change and is made to shift by the current, which creek near by at the six miles an hour. Now, now or more of piles across which the channel the force of water from wild naturally bank the piling, leaving only free, but cutting it deeper and deeper until a boat with safety up to the estimated cost of such would range in the neigh-000, or less, and accommodate amount of commercial construction of a brakewater it would be necessary on wall, four feet above from the extreme point of island to Dead Man's mile and a half in length, south); also, a wall of the from Fisherman's Point so within a quarter of a Man's Island (east and being half a mile in it is said, would render perfectly safe, and create a tunnel.

If a pebble were to be struck by the wand of a genii, and be instantly transformed into a man, the only difference from the real method of man's origin would be, the rapidity of the operation; and rapidity itself is but comparative. Reflection on this subject tends to make us more fully confide in whatsoever the course of destiny, through the unchanging laws of nature, holds in store for us; and death loses a portion of its terrors.
