The earth has many treasures rare, In gems and golden ore; My heart hath one, more prescious- The ring my mother wore, I saw it first, when I, a child, Was by her side; She told me then 'twas father's gift 'When she became his bride. I saw it oft in sortai's hours, Which marked theafter years, When shimming on the soft white hand That wiped away my tears. And, oh ! I saw it once again, When, on her dying bed, She lifted up her hand in prayer, And laid it on my head. Beside that bed, wheve fell my tears, The ring to me was given; She placed it on my hand and said, \We'll meet again in Heaven!\ I kissed the cheek I oft had pressed, From which the rose had fled: And, bowed with grief, stood motherless Alone beside the dead. Among the blest in realms above, Where sorrows are unknown, Oh, may I meet my mother dear, No more to weep alone. Her dying words of love and faith I'll cherish evermore Within the heart which holds so dear The ring my mother wore. - % <4 o! Good Mothers.

Es- tranged as her children sometimes were from each other, they all united in ac- konwledging their inaebtedness to their mother. - Her mental characteristics, her elevated views of life, her personal qualities and courage and en- ergy in a greater or iess dogree shaped the destiny of her descendants. The intellect, physio'ogists say. is in- heritable on the mother's side. - Certain it is, that her character has an immense and abiding influence ou her offspring. A good mother is an augel of benefi- cence and of incalculable blessedness to a family. She makes her household a scene of continual happiness, - As one by one she sends her children into the world, she does it with the assurance that they are fully provided with all that is necessary to fight the battle of lite, and she lays down to her last sleep with the conciousness that she has done her duty, and her name will live in the grateful memories of sons and daughters themselves to become honored wives and husbands, and to transmit in turn t» their offspring the virtue she impart- ed to their parents. | Napoleon, as a man as a statesman, as a ruler, could not fail to recognize the sublime excellences and caped from a prison in the interior of | ers, and the homage that is due to thein France, had succeeded in reaching the/in every sphere of life. - Philadelphia Mutual Aid meets at Masonic Lodge Room the ISt | coast near Boulonge, Here he made a} Press. and 3d Monday evenings of each month.

Included in the structure is Baldwin's Theatre. The whole, including furni ture, cost $3,000,000. Traveling through Los Angelos county, he fancied and bought a Spanish grant of 60,000 acres of Lountifully watered garden land and laid it out in princely style. Of this 13.- 000 acres are moist bottom land, need- ing no irrigation,. Outside of this he has artificially irmgated most of the property by means of six miles of eight- inch pipe. and beautiful lakes are formed here and there, with rustic bridges and ather adornments. Seme fifty rustic cottages are the homes of his army of people. tastefully arranged, and flow ing'artesian springs ahound of purest water. The orchards has 1,200 acres, with 18,000 or ange and lemon trees, 2.000 almonds, 500 Italian chesnuts, 80 acres of choice grapes, innumerable apples, peats, plums peaches and figs, He hus 60,000 euca- lyptus trees of twenty-seven varities and 8,000 of the graceful pepper trees, our most ornate evergreen and drooping va- riety, bearing a profusion of pepper-look- ing spice berries. A broad avenue is laid out, three miles long by 120 feet wide, lined on each side with the enca- lyptus trees. In the centre is a row of pepper trees, making a grateful shade in that sunny climate, and the air is cooled by innumerable fountains. Soon a man- sion in keeping with the surroundings will be erected on a rising knoll over- looking this fairy land, and some hun- dred tenantry, with gardens and culti- vated fields, will enrich the landscape and make this charmed spot a paradise, where the proprietor can pass his declin- ing years in peaceful contemplanation of the romance of his creation. ---e@s-__._ If you will speak kindly to them they Would you hear a sweet and pleasing echo, speak sweetly and pleasantly your- self.

Australia with Tasmania, is only a lit- tle less in size thin Europe, The hottest climate in the world probably occurs in the desert interior of Australia, Captain Stuart hung a thermometsr on a tree shaded both from sun and wind. It was graduated to 127 degrees F., yet so great wias the heat of the air that the mercury rose till it bursted the tube, and the temperature must thus have been at least 128\ degrees F., apparently the high- est ever recorded in any part of the world. For three months Captain Stuart found the mean temperature to be over 101 degrees F. in the shade, Neverthe- less on the southern mountains and table- lands three feet of snow sometimes falls ina cay.

It is related of Thackeray that, being very desirous to see a \Bowery boy,\ he went with a friend into the haunts of that peculiar creature to look for one. Very soon his companion pointed out to him a genuine spreiman, standing on post. red-shirted, black trowsered, soap- locked, shiny-hatted. with a cigar in his mouth elevated at an angle of forty-five degrees. After contemplating him for a few moments, Thackeray said to his friend that he would like to talk to the fellow, and hisked if he might do so. \Burely he was told; \'go to him, and ask him to direct you somewhare.\ Thereupon Thackeray approached, and said, politely. +'*My friend, I should like to go to---'* such a place. **Well,\ replyed the Bowery boy., in his pecular tones, and without moving anything but his lips, as he glanced up laizly at the tall, gray-haired novilist- «*well!l souny, you can go if you won't stay too long.\ Thackeray was satisfied. &+---_--. California. The women of California are much plumper than their Eastern sisters. This is more especially true of those born on the Pacific slope; nervousness is almost unknown, dyspepsia is rare, but, there is some rheumatism and neuralsia, and catarrh is quite prevalent; but I should say that the women grown average 10 pounds more in weight more than those on the Atlantic slope. The State is full of good women, but in the large cities the moral tone is not as severe as in.older communities,. | Californians are not a re- ligious people. In the mining camps it is usual to work on Sundays, and all over the State there is but little church-going Sunday being a day of recreation. There is less money spent on churches and more on educational institutions than at the East. - Theartesare better patronized in San Francisco than in any other city of its size in the world.

This is a lead-silvor mine, and has been worked many years. The next deepest mine on the continent of Europe is the Viviers coal mine in Belgium, 2,847 feet deep. This mine was explored to a depth of 8,586 feet, but no coal having been found, all below the 2,847 level has since been abandoned. The colliery at Dun- kirk, England, has been opened to a depth of 2,824 feet, and the Rosebridge colliery, same locality, to a depth of 2,- 458 feet. An Irish gentleman the other day re- ceived a letter the address of which he could not decipher. Handing it to his clerk, he said in all innociense:-*Send that back to the man and tell him to write his nome so that we can read it.\
