And have you forgotten me quite, dear, Or say, do you sometimes dream? What life might have been if we wandered still Together by wood and stream? Do you think of d ys when my love was all The world could give or take, And my with a sigh "they were happy days," Just for the old love's sake, Just for the old love's sake, sweetheart, Just for the old love's sake? Do you ever sit in the twilight, dear, And think of that wintry day When we met and parted and journeyed forth, Each on our separate way! I turned and stood for a moment, dear, And looked in your face, to take Its memory far on my way through life, Just for the old love's sake: Just for the old love's sake, sweetheart, Just for the old love's sake. Do you ever think they were bitter worlds? Their memory haunts me yet, Do you wonder how you could say them all, And wonder if I forget? Yes, dear, my heart has forgotten them long, Though I thought at first 'twould break; And whenever I think, it is kindly still Just for the old love's sake, Just for the old love's sake, sweetheart, Just for the old love's sake. The Magic Needle. In Europe the chief power of the magnet was perhaps known but never applied, for a thousand years. An Iceland writer, Are Frode, makes the first mention of it near the [For the Sacramento California.] WATER versus RAILROADS. That maritime advantages are of incomparably greater utility to communities, for commerce and general thrift, than railroads, the evidences are so numerous that it is hardly necessary even to allude to them by way of contrast. Take the capital of any state in the Union, not located on a navigable river, and compare its growth with seaboard towns, or those built up on navigable streams; New Orleans, Natchez, Vicksburg, Memphis, Saint Louis, Kansas City, Leavenworth, St. Joseph, Hannibal, Quincy, Louisville, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, Richmond, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, Brooklyn, Boston, San Francisco, and many others that are actually great cities, or great cities in embryo; some exclusively dependent on their maritime advantages, and all mainly so. The capitals of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, though abundantly supplied with railroads, are villages compared with ocean state. Secondly, it is better terminal point of a short way station on a long city of Los Angeles is now busiest of a short road, and that will increase as the San Fernando and San Diego up, but which will be less as a railroad passes the place. The county's into Los Angeles & San Pedro (if it has any) would be less, as its value is dependent on the growth of Los Angeles trade of that place. There is no county in that is as independent of railroads as Los Angeles coast line of seventy miles no point is over twenty-five beach, or the end of the On the coast at least where vessels load and freight; the country just to settle up; agriculture cry, farming an experimentation of different soils crops as yet undetermined city of reliable farming unknown; no greater pie and madness could befall. The Magic Needle. In Europe the chief power of the magnet was perhaps known but never applied, for a thousand years. An Iceland writer, Are Frode, makes the first mention of it near the year 1100, stating that a hundred years before, a famous pirate went in search of Iceland under the guidance of three ravens, trained for the purpose, since in those days sailors in northern regions did not know the use of the loadstone. For he called it the lead or leading stone, from which our load-stone is derived. Even this historian, however, knew only a magnet suspended by a thread, and the compass itself was yet undiscovered. At first the magic needle was used with amusing clumsiness, as we learn from a manuscript dated 1201 in the Royal Library of Paris. An ugly, black stone called mariner, we are told, which sailors value highly, was taken out when nights were dark, and a needle rubbed with it lightly; the latter was then cunningly placed upon a straw, and set afloat in a basin, when the point would indicate the north. Another peculiarity of the magic needle was a case of much anxiety and peril to the discoverer of our continent. When the great navigator had ventured about two hundred leagues into the Atlantic Ocean, on the 13th of September, 1492 he noticed for the first time that the needle at evening-dusk, no longer pointed due north, but deviated several degrees in a noth-westerly direction and the next morning the deviation had increased. Full of anxiety and wonder, he watched it carefully, and to his consternation the further west he sailed the more the needle appeared to deviate. At first he kept his discovery to himself, fearful lest he should alarm his crew and defeat his purpose: but soon the men at the helm noticed the change and were filled with grievous apprehensions. They fancied they had penetrated into a new world, ruled by other laws than those to which they had been accustomed. If the magic needle lost its power what was to become of them on a boundless ocean? Never, perhaps, was Columbus greater than when sternly suppressing his own fears, he told them that the magnetic needle pointed not toward the north pole Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, Baltimore, Richmond, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, Brooklyn, Boston, San Francisco, and many others that are actually great cities, or great cities in embryo; some exclusively dependent on their maritime advantages, and all mainly so. The capitals of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, though abundantly supplied with railroads, are villages compared with ocean and river towns of like age, though located in the finest portions of the finest agricultural states of the Union. There is one reason for this, and but one, and that is that river or-ocean transportation does not cost one-half what it does by railroad. This difference, on many articles, amounts to a prohibition, and on others to so burdensome a tax that ocean ports and the channels of great rivers are sought by sagacious men of business as their theatre of operations, (this is a necessity and not a choice) for the reason that no medium of transportation has been discovered (and probably never will be) that for cheapness is equal to water; and certainly none where the chance of competition will fix and keep the charges of transportation at a reasonable figure. A railroad once located and in operation is a permanent fixture and an effectual bar against a competing road anywhere near the line of its location, and, hence, is strictly a monopoly, without regard to its mode of doing business. That railroads are a convenience, no one will deny; and, when built at the cost of the owners of such property, all men will hail them as valuable and solid improvements, and when so built are not likely to be gotten up before they are really needed; and it is not sound policy to build them sooner. The county of Los Angeles has a coast line of seventy miles, that is accessible for the loading and unloading of freight in perfect security at most seasons of the year, and when the breakwater at San Pedro is completed. a secure harbor at that point, that will be accessible to all parts of the great valley of Los What the county wanlation: two things will in due time; cheap land munity from burdensome Railroads will follow as ally needed, and without county.

They fancied they had penetrated into a new world, ruled by other laws than those to which they had been accustomed. If the magic needle lost its power what was to become of them on a boundless ocean? Never, perhaps, was Columbus greater than when sternly suppressing his own fears, he told them that the magnetic needle pointed, not toward the north pole of the earth, but to an invisible part of the heavens, which changed its place with all the heavenly bodies. They believed the man whose vast knowledge and marvelous energy they had learned to appreciate; their minds were calmed, the voyage was continued, and a New World discovered. Henceforth the magic needle achieved triumph after triumpb. With it, Diaz Cabral, and Gamma could cross vast oceans, and Magellan and Sebastian Cabot sail around the whole earth—thus ended forever the objection made by superstition and bigotry, and man was taught the true form and nature of the globe which he inhabits. While, therefore, the majority of vessels in the Mediterranean even, had been wrecked, or at least had reached their desired haven, only with a small part of their cargo, now insurance companies were formed in the larger towns, and the premium, even for India voyages, became so small as to make insurance a rule.—Appleton's Journal. George Bancroft, at Berlin, keeps on writing at his "History of the United States," and employs a fellow-countryman as amanuensis. The minister who boasted that he could preach without notes, didn't mean bank notes. The county of Los Angeles has a coast line of seventy miles, that is accessible for the loading and unloading of freight in perfect security at most seasons of the year, and when the breakwater at San Pedro is completed, a secure harbor at that point, that will be accessible to all parts of the great valley of Los Angeles (one of the greatest in the state) at all periods of the year, and afford all the facilities for both the exportation of all she has seeking a market, and the importation of all needed supplies, and at a lower rate of freight charges than by any other mode possible. Now what will be the effect of the location of a railroad? First, if built soon it must be subsidized to the extent of five per cent of the taxable value of the county, which at the assessment of the present year is fully up to its cash value, and more than double its value during a money crisis, at a time of general indebtedness, and this, in addition to the present liabilities of the country, would effectually kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Emigration would stop, personal property would take wings and fly away, and leave the whole burden of taxation and debt to be paid by real estate. Poor men who have bought homes on time would be driven out of the county by burdensome taxation, and the county would become as effectually bankrupt as any county in the before they are really needed, and it is not sound policy to build them sooner.

Badly Sold. California preciate the following fine exchange. A veron Vermonter, appeared at a chemist with a large yellow bandana, and opened there doctor, Well said the doctor.

Well saffellow with a woe-bear there's a widder-woman town has a whole hill on I've been and married Texas boasts of a baby that weights 85 p Secondly, it is better to be the final point of a short road than any station on a long one. The city of Los Angeles is now the terminus of a short road, and has a trade will increase as the vallies of Fernando and San Jose settle out which will be lost as soon as railroad passes through the state. The county's interest in the Angeles & San Pedro railroad (but has any) would become worthless as its value is dependent upon growth of Los Angeles and the size of that place. There is no county in the state is as independent of the want railroads as Los Angeles: a valley at line of seventy miles, which at point is over twenty-miles from beach, or the end of the railroad. The coast at least four points are vessels load and discharge right; the country just beginning settle up; agriculture in its infant-farming an experiment, the addition of different soils to different soils as yet undetermined, the quantity of reliable farming land as yet known; no greater piece of folly madness could befall Los An- A Brilliant Editorial Substitute. Mr. Payne, is editing the Utica Bee, while her husband is doing the State some service in the Albany Penitentiary. She wants her husband to come back, and this is what she says: "We wish the editor could come back. We don't want to occupy his chair any longer. It isn't pleasant. We don't like it. We don't like to have tall, beetle browed Bob Harts come striding into our presence, armed with a heavy cadgel, and demand to know who wrote some of the meekest paragraphs ever put in a paper. We don't like to dun or be dunned. We don't like to have the proprietors of old-established printing offices get our printers away from us. We don't like so much care and responsibility.

Safe of Catalina Island. The Los Angeles News says: The largest land sale ever effected this county was made on the 19th month as appear from the words at the County Clerk's office. The property disposed of in the instance, which is an agreement to pay within twelve months from date on payment of the consideration, embraces the whole of Catalina Island, opposite San Pedro bay. The consideration for which Mr. James Lick, of Santa Clara, has need to convey this island, is $1,000, the largest sum ever paid in any piece of property within the county. Geo. John G. Downey, Don Juan Forster and Mr. Max Nobel are the purchasers. The land is now used for grazing, adding a fine pasturage for thousands of sheep. The prospective owner of the island consists of its developed mineral deposits, long which there are numerous tons of argentiferous galena of that richness. It also contains one of the most valuable deposits copper ore on this coast. All these mineral peosita will sooner be worked, enriching the centurers and benefiting the en-county."

Shopping has inexpressible charms for us, and it is a woman's privilege, "For men must work, And women be gay." Besides, there are some fine points of scenery about here which need sketching. So let's have the editor back again by all means." In Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland, skilled mechanics, earn on an average sixty cents of our money per day; in Russia, Prussia and Holland seventy-five cents, in Italy forty cents, and in France $1 10; in England the rate is about $1 25, in New York $1 75, in Australia $2 50, and in California $3 50. The higher the rate the greater the absoluto and relative difference between different trades. The wages of California are the highest in the world, and the expenses of living are little higher than in New York city; in many respects they are lower. A manufacturer of bird cages and other ware in the city, a short time since thought to enlarge his revenue by substituting Chinese cheap labor for the white workmen he had in his employ. The Mongolians did well enough, at $1 a day, for a short time, until they mastered the business, when the whole party resigned and set up for themselves, and are now "bearing" the bird cage make-rate at a fearful rate. The author of this enlargement of their sphere of enterprise is prone to believe "we are ruined by Chinese cheap labor." As a gentleman was speaking of the great strength of Sampson and the case with which he slew his thousands, he was interrupted by an Irishman, who enquired "An was he an Irishman shure?" "No, he was a Philistine." "Ah, thin, just wait an I'll bring an Irishman that'll knock blazes out of him.

They walked unnaturally, almost erect on two legs, and in that attitude measure about their feet in height. They are dark, skunked and hairy. They conduct no habitation, form no families, scarcely associated together, keep in caves and trees, feed on mates and vermin, on ants, eggs and on each other. They cannot stammer or forced to any labor, they are hunted and shot among the bears like the great gorilla. Captured alive, one finds with surprise at their uncouth jabbering sounds or articulate language. They turn up a human face to gaze at their captors, and females show instincts of modesty; in fine, these untamed beings are men. BADLY SOLD. California will associate the following from an East-West exchange. A verdant-looking hermonter, appeared at the office of chemist with a large bundle in a yellow bandana, and opening it examined, there doctor, look at that! Well, said the doctor, I see it. What you call that doctor? I call it pyrites. What isn't that gold? Yes, said the doctor, and putting one over the fire it evaporated up to chimney. Well, said the poor boy, with a woe-begone look, there's a widder-woman up in our town has a whole hill of that, and he been and married her. Texas boasts of a two-year-old boy that weighs 85 pounds. A very wicked Connecticut man being recently taken ill, and believing he was about to die, told a neighbor that he felt the need of preparations for the next world and would like to see some proper prison in regard to it, where upon the feeling friend sent for a fire insurance agent. *of my existence, give me an*, said a young printer to his sweet-heart. She made a—at him and planted her between his I's. Such an outrage, said Faust, looking at her, is without a in this §. The Louisville Ledger says in some portions of the South it is becoming dangerous to use even the word "niggardly," the substitute thereof being "coloredly." It is said that one of the most powerful remedies for the botts in horses is a strong decoction of sage tea, made very sweet. It dislodges the botts instantly. The Lockport Journal asks: "Does a man who steals ice necessarily take cold?" We answer no, not if the law makes it warm for him. When a prison in Switzerland becomes vacant a white flag is hoisted on its towers to apprise the world of the fact. Josh Billings says that slander is like a tin kettle tied to a dog's tail—very good fun as long as it isn't our dog. The debt of France amounts to about $225 for each member of the population.
