LETTERS NO YOUNG MEN.
I wish every young man in the land would read carefully the “Memoir of the Author” prefixed to Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. Do the young man—do any of us—ever stop to think what a wonderful man Noah Webster was, and how much good he accomplished, not only for his own country, but for all who speak and write the English language? Twenty years did he give for the accomplishment of this great work, which required the most constant and persevering effort. He turned untoward circumstances and disappointments to account; for he lived in a time unprecedented for hardness, and unpromising as far as literary work was concerned, only to those who possessed the calmest determination and most unflinching energy. He was impressed into the service of the American revolution in the midst of his college course at Yale, but he graduated at the age of twenty, 1778. He had not the means to pursue the study of law, his chosen profession. His portion from his father, received at this time, was eight dollars Continental currency, worth about four in silver. The country was in a deplorable state for business of any kind especially for the pursuit he had, chosen. He taught a school in Westford, Conn., and at the same time pursued the study of the law without an instructor, and in two years was admitted to the practice. In 1872 he taught a classical school in Goshen, New York, and now his habit of finding something to do, if not in the field of his choice, is seen; for he commenced a compilation of school books, the first of the kind published in the United States. The profits of his Spelling Book, "at a premium for copyright of less than a cent a copy," supported his family during the twenty years he was compiling his American Dictionary. The unsettled state of the times and country at that period often made his pen necessary, which was always wielded for the right, a peace sword for the nation. He wrote promptly and vigorously; neglected no domestic duties; and those of town, county, state and country, all received a good share of his time and labor. No lesser duty was omitted at plea of a greater. He was as faithful in the least as the greatest, and time only adds to his usefulness and merit; for the centuries multiply his students and his means of doing good. Do

ported his family during the twenty years he was compiling his American Dictionary. The unsettled state of the times and country at that period often made his pen necessary, which was always wielded for the right, a peace sword for the nation. He wrote promptly and vigorously; neglected not domestic duties; and those of town, county, state and country, all received a good share of his time and labor. No lesser duty was omitted at plea of a greater. He was as faithful in the least as the greatest, and time only adds to his usefulness and merit; for the centuries multiply his students and his means of doing good. Do not be appalled, young men, at the magnitude of a great undertaking. The pyramids stand as monuments of physical power and mechanism, one of the seven wonders of the world, but that is all; no mental or moral good results therefrom; but Noah Webster has enlarged the bounds of science in all directions, and while the world stands this pebble he has thrown into the wave will multiply and widen its circles to the utmost limit of time. Study the lesson of his life, young men, and commit yours to great endeavors.-F. in the Interior.
BADLY FRIGHTENED.-Nearly a century ago, when daring robbers were as plentiful in the badly lightened streets of London and Paris as "sneak thieves" are in our own brilliantly lighted thoroughfares at the present time, a gentleman was suddenly stopped, one night, while passing over Point Neuf, Paris, with a lantern, by a rough looking man, who said, presenting a paper, "Read this." Somewhat startled, the owner of the lantern glanced at the dirty scrawl presented to his notice, and read the following: "If you speak one word, I shall stab you. Give me all your valuables, and then run for your life." Not being a man of much pluck, the affrighted gentleman gave up his watch and money, and ran off. He soon gave the alarm, however, and the highwayman, taken by surprise, was immediately arrested. When accused of the crime of robbery, he pleaded not guilty, and presented a plausible defence. Said he, "I can neither read nor write. I picked up the paper just at the moment I met this gentleman with the lantern. Thinking it might be of some value, I politely asked him to read it for me. He complied with my request, and presently handed me his watch and purse, and then ran off. I supposed the paper to be of great value to him, and that he thus liberally rewarded me for finding it. He gave me no time to return thanks, which, out of politeness, I was ready to perform." The gentleman, being a little more credulous than victims of the present day, accepted the plea and withdrew the complaint.

This brochure is as near treason as the authors dare come for a shilling. It is a vulgar attack on the Queen and other members of the royal family.

As Richelieu says, "These schemes are glass, the very sun shines through them." But the treasonable shilling's worth has, in forty-eight hours, sold 120,000 copies.
JOHN B——was on trial for felonious assault with intent to kill. It was in evidence that the prisoner had struck the injured man on the head with an iron bar, and so fractured the skull that a portion of the brain actually escaped; yet the man recovered. The only hope of saving the prisoner from conviction was to weaken the evidence of Dr. S——who attended the wounded man, by making him contradict himself. This was undertaken by D——who was more remarkable for his impartitione to witnesses than for legal ability.
"Now, doctor," said D——"did I understand you to say in your direct testimony that Watt's skull was so badly fractured that the brains actually escaped from the wound!"
"That was my evidence."
And do you pretend to say that a man could lose a portion of his brains and still live!"
"Oh, yes," replied the doctor. "I have known man to live and practice law without any brains at all."

The Yankee German on his Travels.
To begin with the physical aspects of the matter, we may venture to affirm, without fear of contradiction, that from earliest childhood the German man has privileges above the German woman, and these privileges grow always and increase. We know what their respective physical education is: the boy belongs to his Turn Verein; he mixes with his inferior superiors, and equals; he profits by his holidays to take long walking tours; he lives entirely during these summer excursions in the rough, carrying his modest wardrobe in a knapsack, eating how, when, where he can; falling in with parties of other youthful students like himself, fraternizing on the road, hobnobbing in the inn, singing with his full young voice the Volkslieder, the Studentenlieder, the Soldatenlieder, of his Fatherland. He comes across ruined castles, ancient fortresses, Druid circles, quaint old hunting Schleuter, convents, churches. Straightway he learns all about what he sees; if he be not himself a student or an antiquarian, one or other of the party is; his young chest is bared to the breeze; his strong young limbs climb the mountain; his eye roves keenly and restlessly to right and left; what there is to be seen he will see; what there is to learn he will learn; what may be known he will know. The scents of the thyme and the pine linger in his tawny young mane; he takes a draught of milk, a draught of water, with the simple food his wallet affords; he lies down, with his plaid under his head, in the shadow of the rock, or beneath the murmuring pines and the hemlocks, and enjoys his noon-day nap. He saw the sun rise this morning, and has walked many an upward mile since daybreak. Seeing him lying there, you may perhaps, take him for a young artisan (auf der Wanderschaft), as perhaps he is (for boys of all ranks will go out to spend their holidays in the summer woods), or perhaps you discern, dispite his rough clothes and his modest equipment, signs of that good blood in him which, as the proverb says, ne peut mentir. In any case, though he may not look what you would call a "gentleman," he looks a man, with manly purpose and intention even in his sleeping eyelids and smiling mouth. He will get up presently, and go singing through the sunlit woods, a gay, a cheery, enviable young athlete. So, with a certain rough freedom, breathing Nature, full of quaint, simple prose Competitions in the Life of Trends.
Notwithstanding that Sun Prentices can handle of a very liberal supply of Cotton fabrication and Manufacturer them come to be room for still more than a wrered by the fact that neither very formidable competition for his popular patronage had hence been recently appeared. We refer to Gallagher's Canvage Repository. Mr. Bernard Gallagher has for many years attended in the manufacture of Wearst. Trendy Drays, elec. at 28 Minutes St. About a year since he created on the above premises a fine brick structure at a cost of $5000. The building is No37 feet three stories high, and is not used as a Repository of the justly celebrated Manufacture of James Cunningham & Sona. Mr. Gallagher is sole agent for these carriages upon this coast, which he proposes to sell at lower rates than any house in San Francisco will sell by him will be warranted for one year, and to be just what it is represented to be. The reputation of the James Cunningham & Sona's carriages needs no endorsement from us. The rapidly increasing demand for them is their heat recommendation. Mr. Gallagher has now en route and to soon arrive ninety-five first-class "jobs" of the latest and most improved styles, consisting of Baggles, Phaeatons, Barouches, Rockawaya, Breta, Victorinae, Coupes, etc., which he will sell at prices to defy competition. To those of our readers contemplating the purchase of anything in the carriage line, we would say, emphatically, give Mr. Gallagher a call, look at his stock, learn his prices, and you will agree with us that his boast that he will sell a better article for less money than any house upon the coast is not a vain one. The fact that he owns the premises, and consequently does not pay an exorbitant rent, that his manufacturing business upon the same premises is paying him handsomely, are among the reasons why he can afford to undersell the market. We cordially recommend him to our readers, and refer them to his advertisement, which will be found in another column.
Removal of James G. Steele & Co.
For years past few business establishments in this city have been more favorably known or better patronized than that of James G. Steele & Co., chemists and apothecaries. From the first this firm has conducted operations on the principle that dispensing the best quality of drugs and keeping the purest perfumeries and other articles belonging to the business, are the strongest recommendations to the favor of the public. As a natural consequence the patrons of the house have continued to increase in numbers and now form an army of strength. In order to meet more fully the demands of the trade and the general convenience, James G. Steele & Co. have removed their entire stock and fixtures from their old stand to the new, elegant and commodious store. No. 316 Kearny street, east side, between Pine and Bush, San Francisco. Physicians and others at a distance offering goods from this popular firm can depend upon having their orders filled with the same regard to quality and price as though obtained in person, for everyone con-
For Ever.
What a strange thing is the human heart! How incomprehensible its hopes and its fears, its loves and its hates! How utterly unmanageable it is! How impossible it is to predict what will be tomorrow, next week, next year—whom it will banish from its tenderness, whom it will hold in its innermost recesses!
A woman, at least, learns before her youth is over, that she cannot say "For ever and for ever" to anyone as she thought she could in her dreams. She also learns that to bury dead love and hope and sweetness with "For ever" would be as great a wrong to herself as it would be to earth to cover summer's buds and blossoms with perpetual winter snow, and say there shall be no blossom-time again for ever.
For it is not, you see, that we forget last summer's flowers. They will always have their own peculiar perfume, she sudden memory of which may bring a tear to the cheek; but because these violets have faded, that heliotrope dropped into purple ashes, shall we refuse to pluck the crimson rose that nods gayly to us, or to enjoy the fragrance of the honeysuckle? They did not bloom last year, but are they less sweet?
There is a time in our life—oh, sweet time! once gone it comes no more—when "for ever" is a sacred term to us; when we ask no more than to stop the wheels of time, and let all the clocks in the world run down during the period of courting.
To our mind Time's scythe is very cruel. He cuts down the flowers; he wounds those in his way; he is a robber, a thief, a murderer. Ay, so he is; but we learn at length that he is a physician also. He heals many a cruel stab long before he gives us the sleeping potion that we all drink at last.
When you, so long ago, it seems, looked upon the now-made grave, you believed all hope buried there; you desired that it should be so; but you lived, and one day hope crept in at your door and sat by your fireside.
You other one—who have dreamt dreams and seen visions in love's magic glass; yes, and awakened from them, too—do you remember how you took Henry's ring from your finger, and thought you bound up all joy with the letters, and the lock of hair you sent back to him? And yet to-day you hold William's letter in your hand, and ask yourself if you shall answer "Yes" or "No" to its question. And as you write your score out the "for boys of all ranks will go out to spend their holidays in the summer woods), or perhaps you discern, dispute his rough clothes and his modest equipment, signs of that good blood in him which, as the proverb says, ne peut mantir. In any case, though he may not look what you would call a "gentleman," he looks a man, with manly purpose and intention even in his sleeping eyelids and smiling mouth. He will get up presently, and go singing through the sunlit woods, a gay, a cheery, enviable young athlete. So, with a certain rough freedom, breathing Nature, full of quaint, simple prose and poetry, with infinite capabilities of enthusiasm, with dim aspirations and vague yearnings after possible impossibilities, the German youth goes his way, through ideal paths into the great reality of the future.
Still Leading.
Morse, the enterprising proprietor of the "Palace of Art," 417 Montgomery St., S. F., is still determined to be in advance of all competitors. He has recently secured the services of a first-class operator from the east, Mr. Wells, formerly in the employ of such artists as Soroney and Bogardus, an artist fully competent to compete successfully with any upon this coast. With this addition to his present corps, together with new and beautiful scenery for background, new and stylish furniture, as well as all of the improvements and appliances of modern art, he expects to make his already popular Palace one of the places of interest in San Francisco that no visitor will fall to see.

When you, so long ago, it seems, looked upon the new-made grave, you believed all hope buried there; but you lived, and one day hope crept in at your door and sat by your fireside.
You other one — who have dreamt dreams and seen visions in love's magic glass; yes, and awakened from them, too — do you remember how you took Henry's ring from your finger, and thought you bound up all joy with the letters, and the lock of hair you sent back to him? And yet to-day you hold William's letter in your hand, and ask yourself if you shall answer "Yes" or "No" to its question. And as you write you score out the "for ever" from your life. You will never make any more vows of perpetual constancy; though if there is truth in your heart, you will be true all the same.
An April Fool on Miss Springer.—What is related here happened to James Wilkie Wheeler, publisher of the Dresden (O.) Doings. While a pupil of the Dresden Union Seminary, though a quiet lad, it was generally supposed he would have taken a whipping any time rather than be knocked out of the perpetration of a good joke. We find him, Miss Springer, and a large birch in consultation. "Didn't you say 'Octavo fell in the spring'?" Yes, and he did; he will prove it himself." Octavo was interrogated, and explained that he had slipped his footing on an orange peel and bumped the earth with the back of his head. The teacher, suddenly recollecting that it was the 1st of April, screamed, with a true womanly forethought, "Go to your seat!" and he turned to obey, remarking, "If that wasn't a fall in the spring,' I'd like to know what reason of the year this is."
In a book called "Courtship, Love and Matrimony," published in 1600, there is this clauses concerning the privileges of women in leap year: "Albeit it is now become a part of the common laws, in regard to social relations of life, that as often as every bibexile year doth return, the lady has the sole privilege during the time it continues of making love to the man, which they do, either by words or looks, as to them it seems prefer; and morover, no man will be untitled to the benefit of clergy who dothe in any wise treat her proposal with slight or contumely."

MESSA, WILLIAMS & Co;
Gentleman—It is with the greatest pleasure that I endorse your Yerba Buena Bitterns. I have never in the whole course of my life found such a tender and mild relief from the use of your must invailnable compound. I have been subjected to constirness and a torped liver for five years, of which I am now entirely cured, after using only two bottles of your Yerba Buena. I am certain that it was Yerba Buena that cured me of the palpitation of the heart. I am gentleman, most happy to state through the use of your Bitterns I had been a well man. For all wishing to be convinced of the above, I will give you my residence 230 Leidersdorf St., San Francisco.
