EERN CALIFORNIA NAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1872. THE SEWING MACHINE, A strange vibration from the cottage window My vagrant steps delayed. And half abstracted, like an ancient Hinden, I paused beneath the skies. What is I said, this unmilitated hamming, Louder than bees in Spring? As unto prayer murmurous answers coming, Shed typhus, Sandalphon's wing. Is this the sound of apopposed labor, This now marrith play? Our harbor substitute for pipes and tubes, Gitttern and virginy? Or is it a yearning for a higher vision, By spiritual hearing heard? Hearer I drew, to listen with percision, Detesting not a word. Town peering through the pane as men of sin do, Myelf the while sunset. I marked a midden seet by the window, Bewling with a machine. Her gentle foot propelled the tireless trundle, Her gentle hand and the scam; My fancy mind, it were a bits in pedicle Those shirts, as in a dream! Her lovely fingerprint to yoke and dollar Some imperceptible taste, The rural swain who buys it for a dollar, By beauty is embraced. O falter aspect of the common misadvent Only the port sees. The true significance, the high position, Of such small things as these. Not new doth toll, a bridal Boanerges, Deform the maneuver's hand; Her implement its soft sagittal gurgles In souge of sea and land. And thus the hum of the unspoiling cotton, Mint with her rythmic lead, And troubleleurs are dead. The Tomb of Cajun. By dint of sheer struggling with hands and feet, we reached the summit of Mount Salahrych, near Damnance at last and set down a look Jim Wolf and the Tom Cat. I know by the sympathetic glow upon his bald head; I knew by the thoughtful look upon his fapa; I knew by the emotional flush upon the strawberry upon the old free liver's nose that Simon Wheeler's memory was busy with olden times And so I prepared to leave; because all these were signs of a reminiscence—signs that he was going to be delivered of another of his tiresome personal experiences; but I was too slow, he got the start of me. As nearly as I can recollect the it fiction was couched in the following language: We were all boys then, and didn't worry about nothing only to shirk school and keep up rivivin' state of devilment all the time. This yah Jim Wolf I was talking about was the 'prentice', and he was the best hearted fellow, he was, and the most forgiving' and oneself I ever seed—well, there couldn't have been a bullier boy than he was, taking him how you would, and sorry enough I was when I saw him for the first time. Me and Harry was always posterizing him, and plastering boss burs onter his back, and putting bumble bees in his bed, and so on, and sometimes we'd crowd in and bunk with him, notwithstanding his growling, and wouldn't let on to get mad and Jim, he was a sighted with that billing candy clean down to bad more busted sausage him than if he was an acorn—and he came stains just a whippin' and every squirm dropped some candy. And blistered. We soul that poor creature really set down for as weeks. Newspaper Attert Why is anything made in the belief that it will eat to others? Why did that Isaac and Fanny married on a certain day but on the supposition give you pleasure to kill this light, the commissions which crowd have a kindly order? Say not with a cyc though you were done there was anything world—when a storable uses his wares, that it selfishness; for if it is one to announce a fire tallow and wool, hardy lins, is it just as pleasing wishes to know it? It tisement! Waste paper not what you want. The Tomab of Crian. By dint of sheer struggling with hands and feet, we reached the summit of Mount Salahrych, near Damascus, at last and sat down to look about us. Light up the very bases of the mountains, on either side extends a perfect sea of vegetation through the dark, glossy green of which, like a silver thread, winds the clear stream of the Abana; and here and there above the clustering leaves rise shining cupolas and the white towers, white in the center of all lies the imperial city, her low massive winds and tapering minarets showing dazzlingly white in the glorious sunshine, and the mighty come of the Great Mosque crowning the whole. In the transparent atmosphere of that wonderful sky, everything is brought near to our eyes as it by magic; the little suburbs which we left behind a weary hour ago, appears to lie under our very feet; while the swarthy Arabs, who are crawling like black ants along the broad white road, seem as distinct as if but a few hundred yards off. In all my travels I have seen nothing to compare with that view, except perhaps, the panorama of Moscow from the Sparrow Hills; and if the City of the Uzars has the advantage in barbaric splendor of coloring Damascus certainly stands alone in beauty of site and splendid luxuriance of vegetation. From this glorious panorama we turn away reluctantly, to glance at the little square tower of stone that rises beside us, marked by tradition as the grave of the first murderer. Childish and impossible as the legend is, it here assumes an air of solemn reality. Where that misreable life drew to a close, not but God can say, but in all the earth it could have found no fitter spot for its ending. To me, at least, there is a wierd grandeur in the thought of the lonely homeide looking down forever from this bleak mountain top, bare and desolate as his own blasted existence, upon the earthly paradise which he might not enter; and watching through the countless ages, the red torrent which he had lat loose gradually overspreading the whole earth. Could his spirit be pleased hearted fellow, he was, and the most forgivin' and oneselfish I ever seed—well, there couldn't have been a bullter boy than he was, taking him how you would, and sorry enough I was when I saw him for the last time. Me and Harry was always pestering him, and plastering boss hurs outer his back, and putting bumble bees in his bed, and so on, and sometimes we'd crowd in and bunk with him, notwithstanding his growling, and we'd let on to get mad and fight across him, so as to keep him stirred up like. He was nineteen; he was long and lank, and hashful, and we was fourteen, tolerable worthless and lazy. So that night, you know, that my sister Mary gave a candy pullin', they started us off to bed early, so as the company could have full swing, and we run in to Jim's to have some fun. Our window looked out onto the root of the elland about ten o'clock a couple of old tom cats got to rarin' and chargin' about it, and carrying on like sin. Thar was four inches of snow on the roof, and it was frozen so that there was a right smart crust of ice on it. And the moon was shining bright, and we could see them cats like daylight. First they'd stand off and yow-yow, just the same as if they were cussin' each other, you know and bow up their backs and push up their tails, and swell around and spit, and then all of a sudden the gray cat he'd snatch a handful of fur out of the yaller cat's ham, and spin him around like the button on a barn door, but the yallar cat was game, and he'd come clinch, and the way they'd gorge, and bite and bowl, and the way they'd make fur fly was powerful. Weil, Jim, he got disgusted with this row and flowod he'd climb out there and shake 'em off'n the root. He hadn't really no notion of doin it, but we everlastingly dogged him and bullyragged him, and flowed he had always bragged how he would not take a dare, and so on, till bime-by he histed the winder, and lo and behold you, he went—went exactly as he was nothing on but his shirt, and that was shoat. But you ought to a seen him creepin' over the ice, and diggin' his toe nails in to keep from slippin'; and above all you should have seen that shirt tail slappin' in the wind, and them long ridiculous shanks of his glistening in the moonlight.

To me, at least, there is a wierd grandeur in the thought of the lonely home looking down forever from the bleak mountain top, bare and desolate as his own blasted existence, upon the earthly paradise which he might not enter; and watching through the countless ages, the red torrent which he had let loose gradually overspreading the whole earth. Could his fierce spirit be pleased by deeds of blood, few spots on the earth's surface have witnessed more of such than this quiet, beautiful valley, from the hour when Hazael stole on tiptoe to spread a "thick cloth, dipped in water," over his master's face, to that fatal night, eleven years ago, when ten thousand armed murderers came howling round the Christian quarter of Damascus. And now, over the graves of the countless slain, the grass grows fresh and green, and the grasshoppers sport in the sunshine, and the waters ripple in the shadow of waving trees, as if there was neither sion nor sorrow in the world. Below, all is life and beauty, and enjoyment; above, all is silence, and ruggedness, and desolation; a fit spot whereon to realize the belief of the Red Man, that the souls of the wicked are led to the summit of a rocky ridge, whence they behold the good far below them, dwelling in shining tents, and chasing shadowy herds of buffaloes over the ever fertile prairies of the spirit land; while they, after one last despairing look at the joys which they can never share, are driven back to wander forever among the barren mountains, tortured by the eternal agony of thirst and hunger.—Chambers' Journal. by he histed the winder, and lo and behold you, he went—went exactly as he was nothing on but his shirt, and that was shost.

The company folks were down there under the caves, the whole on em, under that onery shed of Washington Bower vines—all set in round two dozen sassers of ho candy which they had set in the snow to cool. And they was laughin' and talking lively, but bless you they didn't know nothin about the panasama that was going on over their heads. Well, Jim, he went a sheaking up unbeknown to them tom cats—they was a swisin' their tails, yow yow-in—and threatenin' to clench, you know, and not paying any attention—no went sneakin' right to the comb of the roof till he was within a foot and a half on em and then all of a sudden he made a grab for the yallar cat. But, by gosh, he missed fire and slipped, his head flew up and he slipped on his back, and he went off's that roof like a dart—went a clashin' and a smashin' and a crashin' down through them old vines, and landed in the center of them company people—sat down like an earthquake in them two dozen sassers of red-hot cardy, and let off a howl that was "bark from the bomb."

And blistered. Why, bless your soul, that poor creature couldn't easily set down for as much as four weeks. Newspaper Advertisements. Why is anything made public but the belief that it will be of interest to others? Why is it announced that Isaac and Rebecca were married on a certain day last week, at on the supposition that it will give you pleasure to know it? Read this light, the commonest advertisements which crowd our papers have a kindly order about them may not with a cynic aneurysm—as though you were doubtful whether there was anything interesting in the world—when a storekeeper advertises his wares, that it is all sheer selfishness; for it it is pleasant for me to announce a fresh supply of yellow and wool hardware, or musks, is it just as pleasant for one who wishes to know it?

Those ships which are to sail for every harbor in the world; those fabrics which have arrived from every commercial mart on the earth; this iron from Russia, sugar from Louisiana—do they not preach to us at the corners of the streets, at the entering of the states, in our docks, and in custom houses and exchange, sermons on the mutual dependence of mankind?

ABSINTHE. The Pull Mall Gate gives this account of the way which the French came to use enormous quantities of absinthe; except to medecial men absinthe was unknown prior to the Algerian expedition, in the reign of Louis Philippe; but when the soldiers were at Constantine and Organ, and offering greatly from fever, the doctors recommended that absinthe should be mixed with their wine; it was much cheaper than quinine. During the entire campaign the soldiers drank this mixture, and afterward retained the custom, which first appeared in France at Parisesilles, whence it rapidly spread through the country, and settled permanently in Paris. UNIFORM BALLOT. The Code become his wife. Although Gordius had doubts as to the verification of the prediction, he very willingly embraced this prediction and their own man and wife. Not long after this occurrence, a sedition broke out among the countrymen, who were at the time without a ruler. They finally appealed to the oracles for a means to stop this anarchy. The oracle advised them to choose a king. They were to note the first man who passed the temple of Jupiter driving an ox-cart. This person the oracle assured them, was destined to become their ruler. Accordingly, they all rushed to the temple Gordius shortly after passing an ox-cart. The assemblage hailed him as their sovereign, and he thus became king of Phrygia. To commemorate this remarkable elevation to a throne, Gordius dedicated his ox-cart in the temple of Jupiter to regal majesty. He fastened a knot to the beam of the cart so dangerously involved and placed that the oracles promised the dominion of the world to the man who could untie it. The untying of it was probably impossible as both ends were woven together. Great numbers tried to untie it, but failed. At length Alexander the Great came, and after repeating the fruitless effort, he drew his sword and cut it. Thus resulted the saying, "cutting the Gordian knot." Tea and Coffee. The physiological and psychological effects of tea and coffee have formed the subject of much close philosophic observation and discussion since the introduction of these articles of consumption into general use. It is said, for instance, that the effect of tea is to strengthen the judgment, while that of coffee increases the artistic power of the brain. It appears too, that the teas of different countries exert some extent, different influences on the mind. Thus it is that the tea of Paragnay excites the brain and gives activity to the intellectual faculties, especially with those but little accustomed to its use, to a degree which appears almost incredible to persons not acquainted with it. Its effect on the imagination and succession of ideas is said to be extraordinary. disposing people towards the pleasure of society and conversation, besides enabling the body to sustain long fasts without much diminution of strength, and being also an excellent antidote against gloominess and misanthrope. It is also asserted that many of the greatest orators of that con- UNIFORM BALLOT.—The Code provides for uniform ballots at elections in this State. Each ticket must be twelve inches long and four inches wide, so that it can be used four times. All tickets must alike. To mark any ticket is a criminal offense, and it is not permitted for any person to show by a ticket how he votes. It is further provided that tickets shall not be distributed within one hundred feet of the polling place, nor within that distance shall the voters show, opening or otherwise, how he votes. Tickets must be free from every mark or device by which they can be distinguished. TO GROW FRUIT WITHOUT STONES. An agriculturist says that he grows peaches without stones, by turning the tops of the trees down, setting off the ends, sticking them into the ground, and fastening them with sticks. In a year or two these tips will take root; when well rooted out off the branches, connecting these reversed and rooted branches with the tree proper, and this reversed peach tree will produce fine peaches without stones. The same experiment may be tried with plums, berries and currants. HOW TO PREVENT BAD DREAMS—don't go to sleep. The only place the wife of a Congressman can fairly trust him—and we write this advice in behalf of virtuous innocence—is the Washington Club. The Washington Club is composed almost entirely of heads of families, sober, steady, quite business men, who meet in its elegant rooms for a little relaxation from their many cares. The club is always opened for a evening with prayer, and after those pious gentlemen sit around and read good books, or discuss light, doctrinal points, such as "Transubstantiation," "Infant Baptism," "Oap a man marry his aunt?" or "Is it moral, or in any sense in accordance with revealed religion, to kill your mother-in-law?" The hair on a camel weighs about ten pounds and sells for more than $100, which shows that it was not only in the days of Mohammed that the animal bore a great prophet. Chicago printers waiting for their type ordered from New York the week of the fire, kept up their spirits by singing, "Come thou font of every blessing."
