"AWAY, away," eried the silent Sir John, "While the blossoms are on the trees; For the summer is short, and the time speeds on, As we call for the Northern Sun. Hal gallant Crozier and brave Fritz James. We will startle the world, I trem. When we find a way towards the Northern Sun, That never was found till now! A good stout ship is the Erobus. As ever unforturbed a sail; And the Terror will match with as brave a one As ever outrede a gale." So they bade farewell to their pleasant homes, To the hills and valleys green, With three hearty cheers for their native Isle, And three for the English Queen. They sped away beyond capes and bay, Where the day and night are one— Where the blissing light in the heavens grew bright, And flamed like a midnight sun. There was naught below save the hills of snow, That stretched to the levy Pole. And the Esquimaux in his strange canoe, Was the only living soul. Along the coast, like a giant hunt, The glittering icebergs frowned; Or they met on the main, like a battle plain, And crashed with a fearful sound. The seal and the bear with a curious stare, Looked down from the frozen heights, And the stars in the skies, with great wild eyes, Peered out from the Northern Lights. The gallant Crozier and the brave Fritz James, And even the stout Sir John, Felt a doubt like a chill through their warm hearts thrill, As they urged the good ships on. They sped them away, beyond cape and bay, mind becomes provaded with the efforts which I make, thare pleased to call the fruit oIt is the fruit of labor and thWyoming's Great Legion Joke. The accident, for such it which woman suffrage became of Wyoming, happened in this President of the Council of Territorial Legislature of of the Territory one morning 1869, to talk about local politian suffrage came in for its abatention. Said the Secretary, a staunch advocate of woman's "Mr. President, do you knhave the greatest opportunity man in America to immortalize selit" "How!" inquired the president. "By introducing a bill to the extending the right of suffrage an," replied the secretary. "By jovel I'll do it if you'll do the bill," responded the preside- "Agreed," answered the seand Mr. President smiled thersmile of satisfaction incident birth of a new idea, puffed away cigar, straightened himself and to the Council chamber to ponhis future greatness. The bidrawn, introduced and passed." A Community of Men. There is only one territory of any size, and never has been but one, occupied by any considerable population from which women is absolutely excluded. Yet such a place exists to-day and has existed for centuries. As far back as history reaches, to all its feats, members of the ancient race thou out Germany; and if we may credit report of newspapers friendly to Judaism, influential moneyed men in imperial capital—the headquarters German Jews—have given in their stantial support. The originators deaver to prove that the undertaking by no means as impracticable as at A Community of Men. There is only one territory of any size, and never has been but one, occupied by any considerable population from which women is absolutely excluded. Yet such a place exists to-day and has existed for centuries. As far back as history reaches, to all all females it has been forbidden ground. This bachelor's Arcadia is situated on a bold plateau between the old peninsula of Acte, in the Grecian Archipelago, and the mainland. Here, in the midst of cultivated fields and extensive woodlands, dwell a monastic confederation of Greek Christians, with 23 convents, and numbering over seven thousand souls, and not one of the monasteries dates from a later time than the twelfth century. A few soldiers guard the borders of this anti-female land, and no woman is allowed to cross the frontier. Nor is this all; the rule is extended to every female creature, and from time immemorial no cow, mare, heen, duck or goose has been permitted to make acquaintance with hill or valley of Mt. Athos Territory. A traveler was startled by the abrupt question "What sort of human creatures are women?" The very idea of women, whether as mother, wife or sister, is almost lost. To all women-haters, to bachelors of over forty years standing, to all men who seek rest from the wiles and ways of the opposite sex, this region can be safely recommended as a haven of refuge. Genius. Boys read and heed what Alexander Hamilton once said to an intimate friend: "Men give me credit for genius. All the genius I have lies just in this; When I have a subject in hand I study it profoundly, day and night it is before me; I explore it in all its bearings; my invitations to join the project have printed in great numbers, and are this time circulating among the members of the ancient race through Germany; and if we may credit report of newspapers friendly to Judaism, influential moneyed men in imperial capital—the headquarters German Jews—have given in their stantial support. The originators deaver to prove that the undertaking by no means as impracticable as at sight seems, and remind their fellow creedsmen that it is what they pray if they pray at all—three or four times every day—viz., in the "Shemoneh rech", in their noon and evening, in fact in every prayer sanctioned by their law. Moreover, they interpret the Bible passage. Return to me and will return to you," as meaning literate that on the Jews returning to Jerusalem, the Lord, and with Him power and prosperity, will return to them. California. California is about the size of 98,240,000 acres of land. About one-third of 33,000,000 acres have been surveyed. It is estimated that 89,000,000 acres are suitable to some kind of husbandry. These 40,000,000 acres are fit for the plow, and 49,000,000 acres for grazing fruit growing and other purposes. The Commissioner of the General Land Office says the agricultural area of California exceeds that of Great Britain and Ireland, or the whole Peninsula of Italy. It is estimated that 40,000,000 acres of the 89,000,000 are still in the hands of the Government, the greatest portion of which is only fit for grazing purposes. There have been granted three railroads 30,000,000 acres or nearly one-third of the entire area of the State. People smile when some one intimates that the Central Pacific will soon own the State. If these figures are correct they already own one-third of it, and if they have gobbled one-third in ten years how long will it take them to secure the remainder?—Staackton Rivers publica." ZETTE. 1871 NO.6 The tomb of Adam The tomb of Adam how touching it was, here in a land of strangers, far away from home, and friends, and all who cared for me, thus to discover the grave of a blood relation. The unerring instinct of nature thrilled its recognition. The fountain of my slim affection was stirred to its profound depths, and I gave way to tumultuous emotions. I leaned against a pillar and gave way to tears. I deemed it no shame to have wept over the grave of my poor dead relative. Let him who would sneer at my emotion close this volume here, for he will find little to his taste in my journeying through the Holy Land. Noble old man, he did not live to see his child. And I—I—also I did not live to see him. Weighed down by sorrow and disappointment, he died before I was born—six thousand summers before I was born. But let us try to bear it with fortitude. Let us trust he is better off where he is.—Mark Twain's Innocent's Abroad. Luminous Plants It will be a new fast to many, that plants emit light. From an article on this subject in the *Howdein Scientific Review* we learn "that vague ideas of the existence of luminous plants in India and the neighboring countries still float about, as in the days of the old It will be a new fast to many, that plants emit light. From an article on this subject in the Bowdoin Scientific Review we learn "that vague ideas of the existence of luminous plants in India and the neighboring countries still float about, as in the days of the old Hindoes and Greeks." There is a vague report that in Afghanistan grows a bush which at night from a distance apears on fire. Baron Huge says that he was told that the Auk River, when swollen with rain, brings down from Thibet pieces of timber which "shade in the dark as long as they remain moist." The root of a grass in the Himalayas is said occasionally to be luminous at night during the rainy season. An inflammable atmosphere is generated about the European Dittany on a calm still evening, due to the evaporation of a volatile oil. It a candle be brought near it, this plant is enveloped by a transient flame, without sustaining injury. The tuberose, is said by some, to have been observed of a saltry evening after thunder, to dart small sparks in great abundance from such of its flowers as were fading. Whom do Great Men Marry. Charles B. Stevens, in the March number of the Phrenological Journal, answers this question as follows: Women, of course. But they show the diversity of taste as is shown in the lower ranks, and, on the whole, make worse mistakes. They, however, generally show the same taste in taking wives that they show in managing other people's affairs whether it be good or bad. John Howard, the great philanthropist, married his nurse. She was altogether beneath him in social life, and besides she was 42 years old, and he was but 25. He would not take "No" for an answer, and they were married and lived happily together until her death, which occurred two years after the marriage. Peter the Great married a peasant girl. She made an excellent wife and a most sagacious Empress. Humboldt married a poor girl because he loved her. Of course they were happy. Shakespeare loved and wed a farmer's daughter. She was faithful to her vows, but we can hardly say as much for the great hard himself.

Shakespeare loved and wed a farmer's daughter. She was faithful to her vows, but we can hardly say as much for the great bard himself. Like most of the poets, he showed too little discrimination in bestowing his affections on the other sex. Byron married Miss Milbank to get money to pay his debts. It turned out a bad shift. Robert Burns married a farm girl with whom he fell in love, while they worked out in the field. He, too, was irregular in his life, and made some of the most serious errors in conducting his domestic affairs. Milton married the daughter of a country squire, but lived with her a short time. He was an Austere and exacting literary reeluse; she was a rosy, romping country lass that could not endure the hard restraint imposed upon her; and so they separated. Subsequently, however, she returned, and the two lived tolerably happy. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were cousins, and about the only example in the long line of English monarchs where the marital vows were sacredly observed and affection existed. Wonderful Australian Clock—Mr. Waddleton, a watchmaker in Geelong has invented a clock which certainly puts Heller into the shade altogether. Imagine a glass dial, similar to that used by Mr. Heller, suspended by a piece of whipcord, and a single hand moving on a pivot. No works are visible, and there appears nothing to indicate mechanism. This hand keeps excellent time; but more than this Mr. Waddleton will cause it to revolve rapidly round, and no matter how many turns it makes, it will point to the time of day.
