SHERN CALIFORNIA NAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1872. COMPLAINT. BY DR. J. G. HOLLAND. River, sparkling river, I have fault to find with these; River, thou dost never give a word of peace to me! Dimpling to each touch of sunshine, wimpling to each breath that blows. Then dost make no sweet replying to my sighing for repose. Flowers of mountain and meadow, I have fault to find with you; So the breezes cross and toss you, so your cups are filled with desir. Matters not though sights give motion to the ocean of your breath; Matters not though you are filling with the shilling drops of death! Birds of song and beauty, let I charge you all with blame; Though all hapless passions thrill and fill me, you are still the same. I can borrow for my sorrow nothing that avails, From your lonely note, that only speaks of joy that never falls. Ol indifference of Nature to the fact of human pain! Every grief that seeks relief entrusts it at her hand in vain; Not a bird speaks forth its passion, not a river seeks the sea. Nor a flower from wreaths of Summer, breathes in sympathy with me. Ob! the rigid rock is frigid, though its bed be summer mold; And the diamond glitters ever in the grasp of changeless gold. And the laws that bring the seasons swing their cycles as they must. Though the ample read they trample blind the eyes with human dust. Moons will wax in ardent glory, though man wane to hopeless gloom; Stars will sparkle in their splendor, though he darklead to his doom; About Old Ships. [T. C. Sanford, of Nantucket, in the Boston "Advertiser."] During the year 1850 more than a thousand ships were observed in the bay of San Francisco, a large portion of which never passed with out its gate. Many of these had a history worthy of remembrance. There were some of the London Liverpool and French liners, comprising the famous New York and Havre packets, and renowned China ships, with hundreds of others, smaller, but of equal interest, taken from the whale fishery, as well as many others of less note. There was the Cadmus, which brought the patriot Lafayette to this country in 1825, as also a host of others: the Utica, Francis de Paul, Alhambra, Silas Richards, Splendid, Superior, Rome of Salem, Byron, Robin Hood, Charles Carroll, Gen. Jackson, and Balance, the last two ships taken by James de Wolf's privateer Pure-Blooded Yankee, in the war of 1814. 'The latter ship was near 100 years old. They were built in Calcutta, of teak timber, and the Balance had the same mastia in her Trifles. We clip the following little sketches from the Correspondents' in Friend." MATHIMON O, matrimony! thou art like To Jeremiah's sign; The good are very good—Too sour to give the pigeon I never dreamed of such a Wife; mother, nurse, housekeeper, chamber-dairy-woman, and scrubbing the work of eight. For the sake of being GRADE DARLING Grace Darling, of what romantic things have been written, was the daukeeper of Longstone which is situated on most wild and dangerous English coast. On September 6, 1838, a wrecked upon one of where she was living following morning a foul were discovered clink broken wreck. This against the remembrance. RICHLAND AND ITS RESOURCES. Under the Patronage of Glassell & Chapman. Located about five miles southeast of Anaheim, across the Santa Ana river, on the surveyed line of the San Diego and Los Angeles Railroad, at the proposed junction of the San Bernardino branch. First—It possesses all the advantages of a healthy, elevated position, above the level of sand beds, alkali flats and Gospel Swamps. Second—It rejoices under the life-giving influences of the A. B Chapman canal, which, to the honor of Knox & Rumble, has proved a success. Third—It can control ample water power to keep in motion all the mills we shall require. Fourth—It has a climate and variety of soil peculiarly adapted to fruits and the profitable branches of agriculture, unsurpassed in the world. This settlement is in its infancy, but already vineyards, orchards and nurseries have been planted and the happy farmer feels confident of success. The frosts of April did no damage was the Cadmus, which brought the patriot Lafayette to this country in 1825, as also a host of others: the Uttica, Francis de Paul, Alhumbra, Stlas Richards, Splendid, Superior, Rome of Salem, Byron, Robin Hood, Charles Carroll, Gen. Jackson, and Balance, the last two ships taken by James de Wolf's privateer Pure-Blooded Yankee, in the war of 1814. The latter ship was near 100 years old. They were built in Calcutta, of teak timber, and the Balance had the same masts in her which were put into her at Calcutta almost a century before (ninety years.) She was named "Balance" to balance a ship lost by DeWolf. a short time before, taken by a British cruiser. There were numbers of old whalers, English and American. The celebrated Lady Amherst, an English whaler of great repute, belonging to Samuel Enderby & Sons, of London, in six consecutive voyages, with an average time of thirty four months to each, obtained 16,000 barrels of sperm oil—a catch never equalled by any ship from our own ports. In the "stone blockade" of Charleston, S.C., in 1862, there were sunk a fleet of ships formerly engaged in the whaling business, and before that, many of them in the European trade from the various commercial centres of our country, and not a few in the China trade. Among these were the Garland, Marta, Theresa, Harvest, Potomao, Kensington, Leonidas, Amazon, Cossack; C urier, Frances Henrietta, L. C. Richmond, Archer, South America, Rebecca Simms (once a China ship, belonging to the Quaker merchant, Woodruff Simms, of Philadelphia), and lastly the Herald, almost a century old, and once the pride of Boston. There is a ship now sailing from Holland, built in 1568. when the Prince of Orange was fighting Philip the II., of Spain, then at the zenith of his power. She was sailing to the Indies when the Hollanders organized themselves into the "Beggars of the Sea," and as privateersmen earned a reputation that astonished the world. This Dutch ship is called the Commissaries des Koning von der Heine. She passed the Cape of Good Hope, October, 1864. from Bartavia for Holland, then 294 years old! A few numbers back in the Boston Daily Advertiser is a notice that the whaleship Rosseau (another of Stephen Girard's ships, built at Philadelphia in 1801) was then undergoing repairs at New Bedford. Her planking is being removed for the first time in seventy years. Grace Darling, of what romantic things have been written, was the dandy keeper of Longstone which is situated on most wild and dangerous the English coast. On September 6, 1838, a wrecked upon one of those where she was living following morning a fire were discovered clinkered broken wreck. This against the remonstration parents who considered taking desperate action launched a boat, and by al exertions rescued me. For this daring and un-demonstrations of admiration showered upon her from the world, and her naval ploit have been rendered in romance and literature.

Fourth—It has a climate and variety of soil peculiarly adapted to fruits and the profitable branches of agriculture, unsurpassed in the world. This settlement is in its infancy, but already vineyards, orchards and nurseries have been planted and the happy farmer feels confident of success. The frosts of April did no damage here. Wheat rye, barley and oats are looking splendid. After harvest stubble field will be planted in corn, potatoes, etc. Land around, for the accommodation of all, has been divided into ten, twenty and forty acre lots, with roads reserved whenever required for convenience. The prosperity of the settlers being thus insured, a town plot in the midst, has been laid out; an ample reservoir constructed, and several thousand feet of iron water pipe laid beneath the streets, and convenient hydrants to supply water for domestic use. A limited number of building lots are to be put in market at low rates, and a few will be given away for business purposes. From this position, one year ago, hardly a house could be seen; now the evidences of life and industry are all around. Between thirty and forty children are attending school and a handsome building for that purpose is being erected. No pains have been taken to bring this place into premature notice. The projectors have been confident that in due time such a combination of resources could not fail to attract the attention of intelligent and enterprising men from every direction. W. T. GLASSELL, Agent in Charge. NEXT LAND, Los Angeles County, May 10, 1872. 1872. NO. 30. Trimes. We clip the following interesting little sketches from the "Answers to Correspondents" in Our Fireside Friend." Matrimony. matrimonio! thou art like To Jeremiah's figs; the good are very good—the bad Too sour to give the pigs. never dreamed of such a fate. When I a lass was courted— life, mother, nurse, seamstress, cook, housekeeper, chamber-maid, laundress, dairy-woman, and scrub generally, doing the work of eight. For the sake of being supported. Grace Darling. Grace Darling, of whom so many marital things have been said and written, was the daughter of the super of Longstone lighthouse, which is situated on one of the most wild and dangerous places of the English coast. On the night of September 6, 1838, a steamer was recked upon one of the orrags near here she was living. On the folwing morning a few survivors are discovered clinging to the broken wreck. This heroic girl, against the remnants of her Wearing a Watch. The watch was originally, we find, a comparatively huge and "bungling" thing, and was moved by weights—in short it was only a "little clock," a "pocket edition" thereof, as it were. The case was at first made of iron, and on socount of the weights it had to be borne about in a suspended condition, as by a cord about the neck, hanging down on the breast. It was only a little over three centuries ago, about the year 1555, that the spring was devised, doing away with weights, and rendering the instrument more readily and safely portable. These springs were then only straight pieces of steel, not coiled as now, and occupying more space. The watch of those days had but one index or hand, and required to be wound often, two or three times a day. The faces or dials were of metal, brass usually, and the cases were without crystals, but opened in front and at the back, not unlike the "hunting watch" case of to-day. The case was from five to six inches in diameter—a fashion Grace Darling, of whom so many romantic things have been said and written, was the daughter of theapper of Longstone lighthouse, which is situated on one of the most wild and dangerous places of the English coast. On the night of September 6, 1838, a steamer wasrecked upon one of the orrags near where she was living. On the following morning a few survivors were discovered clinging to the broken wreck. This heroic girl, against the remonstrances of her parents, who considered the understaking desperate and hopeless, unnched a boat, and by her person-exertions rescued nine persons for this daring and noble exploit, demonstrations of admiration were powered upon her from all parts of the world, and her name and exalt have been rendered immortal romance and literature. BEAUTIFUL SNOW. There is much dispute relative to authorship of the well known poem entitled "Beautiful snow." Every romantic story is told containing its origin, in which it has been stated that it was found along the personal effects of an unannounced outcast who died some years ago in a Cincinnati hospital. The manuscript coming into the possession of the editor of the "Cincinnati National Union," it was first sent to the public, through the amma of that paper. It is a poem of pathos and tender feeling, will long be regarded as one of brightest gems in American literature. GOLDEN SANDS OF PACTOLUS." Golden sands of Pactolus" is an expression that originated in ancient mythology. Midas, a King ofygia, having conferred a favor on the good Bacchus, received from his divinity the gift or power of going to gold whatever was touching him. His food undergoing a same wonderful transformation, was became reduced to a state of aviation, and in despair implored idy to recall his gift. He was detected by Bacchus to bathe in the water Pactolus, which been done, he restored to his former state, so the sands of the river were inserted into gold. From these facts, history tells us the wealth of Pactolus was derived. B. GRATZ BROWN. — Benjamin Gratz Brown, the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention for Vice-President, is Governor of the State of Missouri. He was formerly a United States Senator from that State, and his grandfathers, on both the paternal and maternal sides, were United States Senators. He is a fiery and eloquent stump speaker, and much is depended upon his abilities in this respect to make the ticket upon which he runs as a candidate, popular before the people. He is a Kentuckian by birth, graduated at Yale College, is a temperance man, and one of his biographers says he has red hair. BY BACCHUS TO bathe in the River Pactolus, which been done, he restored to his former state, the sands of the river were inverted into gold. From these facts, history tells us the wealth of Brooklyn was derived. BIG CLOCK. — The large clock at the English Parliament House is largest one in the world. The details of this clock are twenty-feet in diameter. Every half minute the point of the minute hand is nearly seven inches. The hour will go eight and a half days, but only strikes for seven and a third thus indicating any neglect in it up. The mere winding of the striking apparatus takes hours. The pendulum is fifteen long; the wheels are cast on the hour bell is eight feet and eight feet in diameter, being nearly fifteen tons, and the inner alone weighs more than hundred pounds. This clock was the quarter hours, and by its use the short-hand reporters in Parliament chambers regulate laborers. At every stroke a new water takes the place of the old whilst the first retires to write the notes he has taken during previous fifteen minutes. Brooklyn has a sensation. A loiterer claims to have made a useful invention in the shape of precious sheet-iron cat, which is by machinery. It is armed terrible claws and utters all during and pathetic cries with the feline race is gifted. It on the roof on a balmy stand set in operation, it calls out all the prowling cats for around, and one by one they glaring sheet-iron monad are instantly torn in pieces. In morning the roof and all the landing domain are covered with fur, with dislocated joints and trangled fiddle-strings.vention may be truly said to soon in any populous city. ICE EXTRAODINARY. — Yesterday, Mr. M. W. Childs had occasion to open a case of gasoline by loosening the sealed cover on the bung hole, immediately closing it with a common cork. The gas generated inside, forced its way through the pores of the spongy cork, and congealed on the surface in the shape of hoarfrost, being similar to such in every respect. None of those who saw it could account for the strange phenomenon.—News. STEWED FIGS.—Put into a stewpan four ounces of sugar, the thin rind of a large lemon, and one pint of cold water. When the sugar is dissolved add one pound of best figs, and place the pan on a stove so that the fruit may swell gently and stew very slowly. When quite tender, add the strained juice of two lemons. Arrange in a glass dish and serve cold. The Tribune says all the political parties in Tennessee are trembling. Andrew Johnson threatens to fasten on some one of them, and no one knows how to avoid him. He yearns, it is said, for a voice in Congress, and there is a horrible probability that the animated relics of the past may be found sufficiently numerous to elect him in East Tennessee. The Brooklyn (N.Y.) board of education has asked the legislature for power to retire any teacher after twenty years' faithful service, with a pension of one-half their salaries at the time of retirement.
