Softly the teacher stooped to lay. His rough hand down in a loving way, When dream or waisper made her stir, And buskily he said "Not her." We stooped beside the trundle-bed, And one long ray of lamplight shed Athwart the boylab faces there. In sleep so beautiful and fair. I saw on James’ rough-red cheek A tear undried. Ere John could speak, "He’s but a baby, too," said I, And kissed him as we burried by; Pale patient Robbie’s angel face Still in his sleep bore suffering’s trace. "No, for a thousand crowns not him." He whispered, while our eyes were dim. Poor Dick! bad Dick! Our wayward son—Turbulent, restless, idle one—Could be spared? Nay, He who gave, Bade na heft friend him to the grave; Only a mother’s hearts could be Patient enough for such as he; "And so," said John, I would not dare To take him from her bedside prayer.” Then stole we softly up above, And knelt by Mary, child of love. “Perhaps for her ‘twould better be,’” I said to John. Quite silently He lifted up a curl that lay Across her cheek in willful way, And shook his head. "Nay, love, not thee The while my heart beat audibly. Only one more, our eldest lad, Trusty and truthful, good and glad, So like his father. "No, John, no; I cannot, will not, let him go." And so we wrote in courteous way, We would not give one child away; And afterward toil lighter seemed, Thinking of that of which we dreamed, Happy in truth that not one face Was missed from its accustomed place; Thankful to work for all the seven, Trusting the rest to One in heaven.

EDITOR OF THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE:—Webster defines a thief to be one who secretly, unlawfully and feloniously takes the goods and personal property of another, and also one who takes the property of another wrongfully—either secretly or by violence—and he might have added that any man is a thief who seeks to obtain anything that he desires without paying a just equivalent, in some shape or other. I do not propose, on this occasion, to turn my attention to those petty thieves and speculators who act in direct violation of the law, and who rarely escape their due reward in the end, and whose petty pilferings have but little effect upon the prosperity of any community; but rather to those master thieves, who propose to rob by millions, and who are now spending thousands upon thousands to effect their purpose. It is hardly necessary for me to state that I now refer to the attempt of the Central Pacific Railroad Company to rob the Southern counties of this State, at the last session of the Legislature. It is our fault and our mis-present campaign, without ad- becoming a party question.

It is hardly necessary for me to state that I now refer to the attempt of the Central Pacific Railroad Company to rob the Southern counties of this State, at the last session of the Legislature. It is our fault and our misfortune that a majority of those who are elected to that body, go there to be bought, and generally find purchasers. On this occasion, a majority were bought and the bill passed; but our honest Governor Haight vetoed the bill, and to the honor of the honest minority of the Legislature, be it said, that all the money of the Railroad Company was unable to purchase a two-third vote, and we obtained a brief respite of two years more from the talons of these harpies. Five counties east of the San Juaquin and Tulare Lake were to donate the modest sum of five hundred thousand dollars, each, as a bonus to the Railroad Company, to induce them to build a road that they had already determined to build without a subsidy. Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties were more highly honored. We were to have the privilege of paying one million of dollars, each, into the coffers of this benevolent corporation. The previously mentioned counties are dependant upon railroad facilities for their present and future prosperity; but the price asked of them was out of all reason, and if they will have a little patience they will have one, and perhaps two railroads, without paying any subsidy. The two cases were entirely different: they were to be robbed and get something in return; we were to be stripped naked, and receive nothing. A simple calculation will show that a railroad from here to San Francisco can never carry either freight or passengers, except the few whose dread of seasickness makes the money question one of no importance. The distance by the nearest stage route is five hundred miles, a large portion of the route through a country so rough and broken that constructiontain control of both political cessions, and thereby secure the notion of the candidates for both the litical parties, so that the success either will secure their object. Have everything in their favor—of money, are entirely unscrupulous and will stop at nothing to effect object. Our only chance of escaping to elect an honest Governor and members of the Legislature. The error, however, is the most important If they secure him, they will ease a majority of the Legislature. With our at present more than scientifically large debt, our taxes are Add one million dollars more, and population, instead of increasing decrease; property will deprecise the railroad creditors will own country. Not satisfied with larger nations of public land, they will all the private land also. The process is simply our ruin. Will not California Brutus avert the direct with a well aimed shot gun?

A simple calculation will show that a railroad from here to San Francisco can never carry either freight or passengers, except the few whose dread of seasickness makes the money question one of no importance. The distance by the nearest stage route is five hundred miles, a large portion of the route through a country so rough and broken that construction will be expensive, and local traffic inconsiderable. Such a road must charge high prices or lose money. Freight cannot be less than twenty dollars per ton, and passage twenty-five dollars to San Francisco, (the prices charged by the Central Pacific to points equally distant in the State of Nevada; are, I am told, about double what I have stated). With our facilities for navigation, on the broad highway of the Pacific, open and free for the competition of all who choose to use it, we are sure of unlimited facilities for freight and passage at the lowest possible rates, it is absurd to suppose that the railroad can secure any appreciable amount. Therefore, if it affords no facilities for transportation, it can only benefit us by adding to the amount of taxable property in the county; but as we don't usually pay people for building houses and other improvements for their own private use, I don't see why we should in this case. I wish it distinctly understood that I don't oppose railroads; on the contrary, I favor them. I oppose subsidies and all other schemes for stealing private property for private pass. This subsidy question will go largely into the politics of the dog fight when violent means been tried in vain; or of a rain or the use of the fire engendering even a quite excite. That the application of this hat element will be found as useful venting crying from becoming with children, or for curing it with evidence of pure perverseness, following facts go to prove: The late gallant Gen.

The steamer William Taber, from San Diego, came very near being wrecked at point San Pedro about daylight yesterday morning, while coasting towards this harbor off Half Moon Bay, in a dense fog. The look-out on the bow discovered breakers just ahead, and the signal to stop the engines was promptly given, followed by another to "back her." Both were obeyed immediately but the steamer's headway was not checked in time to prevent her striking the reef. The first heavy shock awakened all the passengers—about 100 being on board—and brought them pell-mel, upon the deck, where some very roughable scenes (at any other time) were enacted. A short and abrupt season of incoberent prayer was indulged in, and women shrieked and fainted by the score. Life-preservers were resorted to by the excited passengers, who fastened them to all parts of their bodies. The steamer struck heavily three times, and it was full five minutes before she succeeded in backing off. Captain Plummer called all hands to quarters and had the boats prepared for lowering in case the emergency should arrive. When the vessel slipped off the reef men were sent below to assert the extent of damage sustained. They reported the ship leaking badly, but Captain Plummer concluded he could keep her clear with the Of both political convenence by secure the nominacandidates for both the poso so that the success of secure their object.

The extent of the injuries have not been fully ascertained. The steamer will be placed in the dock for repairs. Passengers on the William Taber passed a complimentary resolution to Captain Plummer, his officers and crew, for their coolness in the try-ing five minutes — Alta. **How Sea Water Came to Be Saline.** The sea is supposed to have acquired its saline principle when the globe was in the act of subsiding from a gaseous state. The density of water depends upon the quantity of saline matter it contains. The proportion is generally about three or four per cent., though it varies in different places. Rain makes the surface of the sea fresher than the interior parts, and the influx of rivers rendered the oceans less salt at their estuaries. Deep seas are more saline than those the shallow, and inland seas communicating with the main are less salt, from the rivers that flow into them; to this, however, the Mediterranean is an exception, occasioned by the great evaporation and the influx of salt currents from the Black Sea and the Atlantic. The healthfulness of the sea is ascribed to the mixing of the water by tides and currents, which prevents the accumulation of putrescent matter. **Blunders of Bashfulness — If there** is any defect more striking than another in American character, it is bashfulness. Young America, in particular, is painfully affected by it. An incident is mentioned by a correspondent; who was desired by his aunt to go over to neighbor Shaw's and see if he had any straw for sale for filling beds. Mr. Shaw says our informant, was blessed with a goodly number of Misses Shaw, and I therefore felt a little timid at encountering them. To make the matter worse, I arrived just as the family was seated at dinner. Stopping at the door way, hat in hand, I stammered out, "Mr. Straw, can you spare me enough shaw to fill a couple of beds?"

A gentleman of color arrested in Philadelphia, had four chickens in his carpet-bag. He said "do man dat put em dar was no frien' of his." A German shoemaker having made a pair of boots for a gentleman of whose financial integrity he had considerable doubt. made the following reply to him when he called for the article: "Der poots is not quite done but the beel is made out." The best evidence of a man's success in business is the fact that he is always kept busy.
