Dost thou seek a star with thy swelling crest, O wave that leavest thy mother's breast? Dost thou leap from the prison's depths below In scorn of their calm and constant flow! Or art thou seeking some distant land, To die in murmure upon the strand? Hast thou tales to tell of the pearl-lit deep, Where the wave, whispered mariner rocks in sleep? Canst thou speak of navies that sunk in pride, Ere the roll of their thunder in echo died? What trophies, what banners are floating free; In the shadowy depths of that silent sea? It were vain to ask, as thou rollest afar, Of banner or mariner, ship or star; It were vain to seek in thy stormy face Same tale of the sorrowful past to trace; Thou art swelling high; linen art dashing free; How vain are the questions we ask of these. I too am a wave on the stormy sea; I too am a wanderer, driven like thee; I too am seeking a distant land; To be lost and gone are I reach the strand; For the and I seek is a waveless shore. And they who once reach it small wander no more. DROWNED. BY DANIEL O'CONNELL.

Mr. Edror — In coming into the city this morning, my thoughts involuntarily wandered away back to my native land (New York) where my experience in farming, in my youth, commenced. Well do I recollect the hurry and bustle to get in the toad of bay "before the shower came up;" also the grain to be shocked and capped to prevent a general soaking. My thoughts suddenly turned to our favored clime in harvest time. I could, from the same spot, see barley in the gavel—ripe in the field—and also green and growing, with no prospect of rain to annoy the farmer, or compel him to use double diligence to secure it against the coming shower; but he can go on cutting his crop, stack when he gets ready, and no rain to moisten or make afraid. When I first came to this state I thought the "dry season" would be unbearable, but I find it quite to the contrary. Our cool and refreshing nights renew the man and he arises fresh and vigorous, ready for the duties of the day. What a contrast between the California night and the sultry, suffocating nights of the East in mid-summer! They cannot be appreciated without trying them. In another respect how different here from there! We take off a crop of barley or small grain raised thro' the Winter, turn right around and irrigate the land and put in another tom puts a veto to ambition, and woe is she, if, by death or accident, she find it necessary to venture out of the prescribed limits of her sphere. The girls will want all the benefit of the education they are striving for "What I Love" was the subject of one young lady's composition; very good indeed but, let me add, all children need bravery with modesty, strength with doctility, high self-devotion with meekness. To cause mankind to appreciate the benefits of equality and justice, let each girl and boy strive to excel in every department of science, cultivate all the noble faculties of their natures, and become, what they are destined to be, free and equal Citizens. Duty on Guano. The Chicago Post gives the following specimen of the vetoes when Horace Greeley becomes President: An Act to raise Revenue by imposing a Duty of ten cents a ton on Guano. COMMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT. I return this obnoxious measure without my approval. The man who introduced it is an ass, the men who voted for it are scheming British agents, and the men who say this is not so are liars and horse-thieves. I judge that, on an average, every man, woman and child in America uses a ton of guano a year, in some shape or other; whether the farmer in New York, Louisiana, Colorado, Podonk, etc., in agricultural, or, as Chas. A. Dana, for editorial articles. We thus consume in round figures 40,000,000 of tons of guano annually. The arbitrary revolutionary act which I veto to-day would thus impose a tax of $4,000,000 a year on our people. With what effect? It would not stimulate the production of American guano. American birds could not compete with the pauper labor of birds in debauched and priest-ridden Central America. I am not sure as to what I mean or why it is not so, or what is which, but the man who speaks to the contrary is a hell-hound and bribed by British gold. H G. Mechanism of an Egg. Every living creature is the product of an egg. Some are hatched within the maternal body, and develop into their predestined proportions after birth, which is the be Supecting the true cause of the atmosphere, that, if it were truly true, raise a heavier liquid, portionately less height; mercury was thirteen times heavier than water calculation told him that rise only from twenty inches instead of three feet. Taking these tube closed at one end, of mercury, he exhausts from the tube, applied as to close the other end dipped it beneath the mercury. Upon removal he was delighted to see rise to just the point he pated; and then, after moment about it, settles his own mind the question and not only this, but the means of weighing atmosphere, for a column equal base with the boiler must weigh just to the mercury which it With this as data it will step to compute the weight whole atmosphere which the earth. He began to discovery to the work might have been expected believed in his theory. Torricelli did not live views become the prevail but they began gradual their way, and after l philosophy as keen as them up and at length the world of their truth losopher, Pascal, began if it was really the atmos sustained he mercury; he should ascend from the less being the weight above, the less consequent be the height of the colony which it would bat in Paris; he took his tub of the highest steeple in and was delighted to finish mercury fell, though still satisfied with this, he was brother-in-law living in mountain in the province gne, to try it there. Then and found a different three inches in the meant mercury between the top of the mountain the various points in the elevation was accu atelythe difference in the elec sensitive instrument. The theory of the pressure o sphere was proved beyond all but the most obstinate only so, but the most vigorous, ready for the duties of the day. What a contrast between the California night and the sultry, suffocating nights of the East in mid-summer! They cannot be appreciated without trying them. In another respect how different here from there! We take off a crop of barley or small grain raised thro' the Winter, turn right around and irrigate the land and put in another crop of barley or plant corn, which is ready to harvest before the rainy season sets in. Thus we are enabled to raise two crops a year, without any fear of a "wet spell" to destroy our hard-earned reward I saw, as I came into the city (what can't be seen East) a variety of labor going on. Some were reaping barley, some mowing hay, some plowing and planting corn where the first crop was off, some clearing off weeds and preparing to plow for corn, some plowing corn—in fact corn was in different stages of wardness, from planting and just coming up to four feet high. [This climate is such that the largest varieties of corn will mature, planted as late as the 4th of July] Crops are generally very good and the only drawback with the farmers will be price, as certainly they have an abundance. Our soil has shown its adaptability to the climate this season; all who have put in crops early and plowed deep are well rewarded. I cannot close this without inviting those who have resolved to change their homes to come to the land of Mechanism of an Egg. Every living creature is the product of an egg. Some are hatched within the maternal body, and develop into their predestined proportions after birth, which is the beginning of existence with the mammalia generally. Eggs of fishes are ordinarily incubated by solar heat. Birds furnish the warmth necessary to quicken the germ into life from their own bodies, with a few exceptions. Whether a rhinoceros, a bipopotamus, a giraffe, an elephant or a flea, their beginning is an egg. The germ of the future being fed on the fluids by which it is surrounded. Out of the albumen or the white of a common pullet's egg, for example, are built up a skeleton; a nervous system, a heart, lungs, brain, blood vessels, every muscle, and the elements of each individual leather, while the yolk is a magazine of food on which the chick is to be nourished a short time after it leaves the shell. To do that it is taken into the body of the bird in the course of incubation. Its developing membrane is elongated into a tube communicating with the stomach through which the nutriment is conducted to where it can be used. When that supply is exhausted, then the mother commences a regular system of nonrishing and feeding till grown and matured for providing for itself. The planet Venus will pass between the earth and the sun in the coming Autumn. All the civilized governments are preparing to observe it with the nicest care. Webster—The most enology, and the most comprobably, was at the gravel Webster, at the closer general rite. A plain man one of the neighbors of ed, came forward, stood grave, and said with quiet "Daniel Webster, the wivesome without you." It which won for Daniel this touching enlogy was great and brilliant, but borly kindness. The despairing editor of burg. Virginia, paper may lowing walk: "A man has our postoffice. A Venet represents us in Congress from Pennsylvania is a Commissioner, our Comm Revenue is a Massachusetts fellow from Philadelphia Chief of Police is a Penny two negroes represent us in Islature, a Maine man rep in the Senate.

Near the middle of the 17th century, the Duke of Tuscany caused a deep well to be dug near Florence. The pump was applied, but it would not serve its purpose in bringing the water to the top of the well. The water would rise a little over thirty feet from the bottom, and there stop all the changes which their ingenuity could devise could not coax the water above the point at which it so ostensibly stood. At last they applied to Galileo, who was then, in his old age living not far from Florence, and acknowledged as the wisest philosopher of the day; but he could not live the riddle. Application was next made to his pupil, Torricelli, who very soon saw that some mechanical force must raise the water just that height and hold it there. Observing the true cause, the presence of the atmosphere, he reasoned that, if it were truly this, it would rise a heavier liquid, only to a proportionately less height; and since mercury was thirteen and a half times heavier than water, a simple calculation told him that this should be only from twenty eight to thirty inches instead of thirty to thirty feet. Taking, therefore, a glass be closed at one end, and a vessel mercury, he exhausted the air. Profitless Speculations. And so many people of this day get up into the tree of curiosity, of speculation to see Christ. They ask a thousand questions about His divinity, about God's sovereignty, and the eternal decree. They speculate and criticize, and hang on to the outside limbs of a great eye-bore. But they must come down from that if they want to be saved. We cannot be saved as philosophers but as little children. You cannot go to heaven by way of Athens, but by way of Bethlehem. What matters it who are elected to be saved, when we know that unless we repent and believe, we shall all be damned? Why be perplexed about the way sin came into the world, when the great question is how shall we get sin driven out of our hearts? How many spend their time in criticism and religious speculation! The path to heaven is so plain that a fool need not make any mistake about it, and yet men stop and carol. Suppose that going toward the Pacific slope I had resolved that I would stop until I could kill all the grizzly bears and panthers on either side of the way. I would never have got to the Pacific coast. When I went out to hunt the grizzly bear, the grizzly bear would have come out Just that height and hold it there, pecting the true cause, the presence of the atmosphere, he reasoned that, if it were truly this, it would raise a heavier liquid, only to a proportionately less height; and since mercury was thirteen and a half times heavier than water, a simple calculation told him that this should be only from twenty eight to thirty inches instead of thirty to thirty three feet. Taking, therefore, a glass tube closed at one end, and a vessel of mercury, he exhausted the air from the tube, applied his finger so close the other end, while he dropped it beneath the surface of the mercury. Upon removing his finger he was delighted to see the mercury due to just the point he had anticipated; and then, after vibrating a moment about it, settle there. To own mind the question was solved; did not only this, but he had here the means of weighing the whole atmosphere, for a column of this real base with the bottom of his nose must weigh just the same as mercury which it balanced. With this as data it was an easy up and at length convinced in world of their truth. This philosopher, Pascal, began to see that was really the atmosphere whichained he mercury, the higher should ascend from the earth, less being the weight of the air vovee, the less consequently would the height of the column of mercury which it would balance Living Paris, he took his tube to the top the highest steeple in the city, and was delighted to find that the mercury fell, though slightly. Not satisfied with this, he wrote to his father-in-law living near a high mountain in the province of Auvergne, to try it there. Thus he did not found a difference of about three inches in the measure of his mercury between the bottom and top of the mountain, while at various points in the ascent the motion was accuately marked by difference in the elevation of his positive instrument. And so the story of the pressure of the atmosphere was proved beyond a doubt to be the most obstinate; and not so, but the most convenient, How many spend their time in criticism and religious speculation! The path to heaven is so plain that a fool need not make any mistake about it, and yet men stop and cavil. Suppose that going toward 'the Pacific slope I had resolved that I would stop until I could kill all the grizzly bears and panthers on either side of the way. I would never have got to the Pacific coast. When I went out to hunt the grizzly bear, the grizzly bear would have come out to hunt me. Here is a plain read to heaven. Men say they will not take a step on it until they can make game of all the theories that bark and growl at them from the thicket. They forget the fact that as they go out to hunt the theory the theory comes out to hunt them; so they perish. We must receive the kingdom of heaven in simplicity. William Pennington was one of the wisest men of this country, Governor or his own State and afterward Speaker of the House of Representatives. God called him to be a Christian. He went in and sat down among some children who were applying for church membership, and said to his pastor: "Talk to me just as you do to these children, for I know nothing about it. There is no need bothering ourselves about mysteries when there are so many things that are plain." Rev. T. D. Taimage. Anecdote of Henry Clay. One of the most notable members of the twenty-seventh Congress was Thomas F. Marshall, of Kentucky. He came to Washington with a high reputation as an eloquent advocate and a rising lawyer. He was a fine scholar of elegant culture, lively imagination and good logical powers. He spoke with fluency and animation, and always commanded the attention of the House. His habits were erratic, and he was absent from the capitol nearly half the time. There was an old family feud between Mr. Clay and the Marshalls, and the representative from Louisville partook of the animosity of his relatives who had met Mr. Clay in single combat. Marshall was decidedly opposed to the Bank Bill, which the President had vetoed and in a conversation on the avenue attacked it in a strain of argument and ridicule of the most effective character. "Bravo Tom!" said a bystander. "I never heard anything better in my life Why don't you make that speech in the House? There's not a man there who can answer it." The most touching biology, and the most comprehensive, probably was at the grave of Dan Webster, at the close of the final rite. A plain man, probably of the neighbors of the deceased came forward, stood at the rave, and said with quivering lips: Daniel Webster, the world will be some without you." The qualification won for Daniel Webster the touching enlogy was not his hat and brilliant, but his neighborly kindness. The despairing editor of a Potersett, Virginia, paper makes the following wail: "A man from Maine our postoffice, a Vermont man presents us in Congress, a fellow in Pennsylvania is our Street Commissioner, our Commissioner of revenue is a Massachusetts man, a new from Philadelphia is jailor, the off of Police is a Pennsylvanian, negroes represent us in the Legislature, a Maine man represents us in the Senate." The euphemistic way of putting down when a fellow gets kicked, say that somebody's boot-toe really walked over the basement our pantaloons. Louisville partook of the animosity of his relatives who had met Mr. Clay in single combat. Marshall was decidedly opposed to the Bank Bill, which the President had vetoed and in a conversation on the avenue attacked it in a strain of argument and ridicule of the most effective character. "Bravo. Tom!" said a bystander. "I never heard anything better in my life. Why don't you make that speech in the House? There's not a man there who can answer it." "Why don't I, sure enough? Do you know what the people of Kentucky sent me to Congress for? Not to act upon my own judgment, not to carry out their wishes; but to vote at the dictation of Henry Clay. There's a collar around my neck bearing the inscription 'Henry Clay his dog.'" — Galaxy. How to Tell—An exchange puts forth the following bit of information: "To discover spurious greetings or National bank notes, divide the last two figures of the number of the bill by four, and one remains the letter on the genius will be A; if two remains it will be B; if three, C; and should there be no remainder the letter will be D. For example, a note is registered 2,461; divide sixty-one by four and there will be one remaining. According to the rule the latter on the note will be A. In case the rule fails be certain the note is counterfeit. A drunken fellow, with a box of matches in his pocket laid down in the street in Muscatine, the other day to enjoy a quiet snooze. When rolling over in his sleep, the mate took fire. Awakening, he snuffed the air suspiciously, smelt the burning brimstones and ejaculated. "Just as I expected, in h-ll, (his) hy honey."
