From the Golden Era, The Miner’s Farewell. Farewell, farewell, thou bright and lovely land, Ye towering hills and sunny vales adieu; I'm going now though with a rising heart, And eyes bedim’d with tears, that seldom weep. The long and much desired time has come, Which in the future ever seemed so bright ; But ab, where now’s the brightness and the joy ? Deep buried ’neath tbe sullen waves of grief; Here I have friends, and they are friends indeed, Whose towering intellect and social worth Can e’er command, while they enclaim the soul. Here T, too, have a home though rude itis, No woodbines climbing up the trellised porch, Or r ogebuds opening "neath the window sill ; Yet it has been to me a HOME, and now My heart is weded to its homely worth, And never can forget its rustic charms, How can I leave them all !—how can I say A last farwell! Oh, whenI’m far away *Mid friends of yore, and in my native land, I'll oft return to thee on wings of theught, Bright smiling land, and linger fer a while Among the scenes and friends I love so well. ffow throbs my heart by sad emo tions press'’d As I behold the steamer’s sable ball And smoking nostrils, which will soon awsy Over the deep, blue waters bear me on, My friends, I now must say good-bye to you ; Give me your hands—long may you live in peace, And al! the sweetest joys of earth be yours, Oh, stranger. smile not thet again a tear Distils beneath my heavy, drooping lid, For see how faust we're leaving in our wake Bright objects of my spiriv’s cherished love, Now, noble ship, f trust my all in thee, Oh, bear me sate from friends to friends again 5 Yet pduse awhile lL can take one long And lingerivg look atall I leave behind— There, hasie thee now, and bear me swift away, Hillis, vales, and trees, and flowers, and friends, furewell! <> SeFrom Putnam's Magazine. Living in the Country. BY MRS. SPARROWGRASS. { ‘We have an invitation to a party,’ said Mrs. Sparrowgrass, ‘on Friday next, jand I think a party is a very pleasant thing in the country. There is more soclability, more hospitality, warmer wel/comes, less dress, and less style, than there is in the city.’ Here Mrs. Sparrowgrass handed me an engraved card of ‘rather formidable dimensions, which must confess looked anything but rural. I took the missive with some misgivings, ‘I wonder,’ said I, in the most playful kind of bitter irony, ‘whether we will meet out there that young lady that never sings herself, but is always so passionately fond Mrs. Sparrouwgrass said she she said she heard she was ot; , married, ‘And that gentleman,’ I continued, ‘who was a stranger to me, that always “. wanted to be presented to some young lady that I didn’t know ?? Mrs. Sparrowgrass said she believed he had gone to California. “And that lady who prized confectionin defiance of the eighth commandment, and the laws of propriety ?” Mrs. Sparrowgrass said she knew the jlady to whom [ alluded, but she assured jme she was yet in New York, and had . not been seen about our village. ‘Then,’ said J, ‘Mrs. Sparrowgrass, we will go the party. Put my best shirt and . the white waiscoat on Monday’s wash.— . Never mind expense. Get mea crumb of bread, and bring me my old white gloves. Iam going to be gay.’ . ‘I think,’ said Mrs. Sparrowgrass, ‘that o party in town is nothing but embarrasscos ‘True,’ said I. ‘Don’t you re. ; . member,’ said she, ‘what a fuss I used to make about getting my hair fixed, and how put ont I was that night when you forgot the japonica?’ ‘Certainly.? ‘And . then, when we were all dressed and ready, . how we used to wait for fear of getting . there too early, and after we did reach the house, how we always got in a corner, and made happy wall flowers of ourselves, and some old friends ?? ‘Of course I do.’ ‘Where nobody took any notice of us?’ ‘Exactly.’ ‘Then what difference did it make how I dressed—whether I wore Honiton lace or cotton edging?? ‘Iam afraid,’ said 1, ‘Mrs. Sparrowgrass, if you had made a point of wearing cotton lace, you would not have been invited.’ this palpable double entendre I felt that secret satisfaction which every man must feel when he has saida good thing. It was lost on Mrs. Sparrowgrass. ‘Here,’ jshe continued, ‘we expect a simple, old. fashioned entertainment.’ Then I chimed ‘in, ‘No gas-lights to make your eyes ache—-no patent leather to make your i feet ache—no fashionable follies to make your heart ache--and no overheated, illventilated rooms, boned turkeys, game, ig \ . . ce-cream, Charlotte Russe, pates, chamagne, and chicken-salad, to make your head ache next morning.’ ‘There will be oysters and ice-cream,’ said Mrs. Sparrowgrass, dubieusly. ‘I wish,’ said [, ‘there was a prospect of apples and cider, instead. The moment . get inside the ‘doors, and breathe the mingled odors of oysters and geraniums, it will carry me ‘back to town, and for one evening, at ileast, I shall forget that we are living in the country. . . . . ‘J could be enntent To see no other rerdure than its own : To feel no other breezes than are blown i Through its tall wood 3 ibut we must succumb; we will go like . plain, sensible people, won’t we ?’ ‘If you were me, what would you wear?’ said Mrs. Sparrowgrass. ‘Something very plain, my dear.’ ‘Then,’ said Mrs. Sparrowgrass, ‘I have nothing very plain, suitable for a party, and to-morrow I must go to town and do a little shopping. ‘Tam afraid,’ said I, (after the second day’s hard shopping in town) ‘your dress is going to be too plain, my dear. Every hour brings a fresh boy, with a fresh bundle, and 2 freeh bill, to my office.’— -ibeen able to come for us on acconnt of for . have a natural horror of parties.— } ery above good-breeding, and went home . with her pockets well stuffed with mottoes, . Mrs. Sparrowgrass said, ‘that if I thought so, perhaps she had better get something expensive when she went to buy the trimmings.’ I told her I thought her dress would do without trimming. She said, ‘it would be ridiculous without gimp or galloon; but perhaps I would prefer velvet ribbon, on account of the flounces?’? I told her she had better get the velvet ribbon, andomit the gimp and galloon.— Mrs. Sparrowgrass said, ‘Very well;?. and the next day another boy brought another bundle, and another bill, which convinced me that extras form an important item in rural architecture. Then we had a dress-maker for several days, and then the stitching went on by sun-light and by lamp-light, and on the last day Mrs. S. discovered that she had nothing for her head, and the new bonnet was taken to pieces to get at the feathers for a cotffure. Then when the night fell, there fell, too, a soaking rain; and I had forgotten the carriage, so 1 was obliged to go a mile in the mud to order one from the livery stable. Then I had to walk said, ‘on wash days.’ One objection might be urged, and that was, after every heavy rain he found a gully in his garden path, and several cart-loads of gravel in his cess-pool. Besides, the pipe was of an equal width, and one obstruction led to another; sometimes it was a silver spoon and a child’s frock; sometimes it was a scrubbing-brush, a piece of soap, anda handkerchief. I said that if he had made a square wooden trough, gradually widening from end to end, it would have cleared itself, and then I thoucht it . would be a good thing for me to have such aone myself. Then I hada cesspool built at the bottom of the wall, under . the bank, which is about one hundred and fifty feet from the kitchen, and told my carpenter to make a trough of that length. Carpenter asked me ‘how big I wanted it?? I told him about eight inches in diameter at the end nearest to the house, . and then gradually widening all the way . for the whole length. AsI said this, my . carpenter smiled, and said he never heard . of such a thing.’ I told him no, that the back, as the man said “it was out ;” but) idea was an original one of my own. He he promised to send for us right straight . asked me how much I would like to have off. Then . had to get dressed over again. . it widened. J thought for a moment, and .

He then took off Ins coat, shook hands with ‘all and bidding them good bye, laid down on a table, as he suid, to die. Some of his friends fearing that it might not be a joke, as they cxpected, sent fora physician, who came In short time, but ere he arrived a druggist had examined the settling of the portion swatiowed, and upon analyzivg it, pronounced it glauber or epsom salts. The physician upon his arrival was told of this, and feeling Uhat he i500; had been hoaxed, left, after examining tient and discovering no appearance? of p but in ashort time he (Reed) became convulscd, and when medical aid was again called, ‘it was too late, and he expired at niae o'clock, P.M. He was perfectly calm and collected throughout the scene, declaring in the most positive manner that he was in hia right mind, and wanted to die, as he was tired of life.Before he took the poison, he wrote a letter and gave it toa brother printer, in which he stated that he could not live as he was living now--that he had an insatiable psssion for . gambling that was uncontrollable, and in dy. ing he should injure none but himself. He bid i his friends all good-bye, and wished them to 'think kindly of him when goae. He was Sunday, from the house of Engine Company No. 3, of which he was a member. . He was a native of Virginia-—has been in Calj ifornia about five years, and was only 23 years iold.

Another fact annuls the naturalization power of the Courts of the State, and declares that no court . of the State, nor any functionary of any Court created by the authority of the State, shall ‘hold or exercise any jurisdiction in the administration of the laws of Congress knovrn as the ; baturalization laws, nor shall any Court take /cognisance of any application of any alien to . be admitted to become a citizen, to make any / record or grant, or issue any certificate or othjer document or paper, whereby any aliea shall be naturalized or made a citizen of the .

Yonder schooner is not an unfair image of humanity ; beating up against adverse winds with one black and one white sail. That dogged old craft, just emerging from obscurity into sunlight, is but a type of some curmudgeon passing from poverty to affluence, and there is another, evidently on the wrong track, stretching away from the light of prosperity into the gloom of misfortune. I do not love the icountry less because of her teachings. by . these symbols. There are many things to be learned from watching the old woodsloops on the river. ‘ Our neighbor has been making an improvement in his house. He has had a drain made in the kitchen, with a long earthen pipe ending in a cess-pool-at the end of his garden. The object of it is to carry off the superfluous water from the hovse. It was a great eenrenience, he raising money to procure a pair of cork legs, but as soon ashe raises a hundred or two dollars, he bucks it away at some thieving gembling table; this has been the case both at Minnesota, Forest City, and the neighborhood of Galena Hill. The} man scemsto have an uncontrollable passion for gambling, and his is certainly a case worthy of commiseration, and instead of giving him money to make him game for swindlers, he should be sent to a hospital or asylum to be taken eare of. We have seen some depravity in our time, but we did not think there were in the mountains gamblers mean enough to allow a man without legs, who is forced to trail himself along the ground on sticks and stumps, to buek at their banks, worming out of him the quarters and halves bestowed by charity, Such wretches should be kicked out of the doggery, by gamblers who do not prey on cripples. —Sterra Cittren.

Farewell, farewell, thou bright and lovely land, Ye towering hills and sunny vales adieu; I'm going now though with a rising heart, And eyes bedim’d with tears, that seldom weep. The long and much desired time has come, Which in the future ever seemed so bright ; But ab, where now’s the brightness and the joy ? Deep buried ’neath tbe sullen waves of grief; Here I have friends, and they are friends indeed, Whose towering intellect and social worth Can e’er command, while they enclaim the soul. Here T, too, have a home though rude itis, No woodbines climbing up the trellised porch, Or r ogebuds opening "neath the window sill ; Yet it has been to me a HOME, and now My heart is weded to its homely worth, And never can forget its rustic charms, How can I leave them all !—how can I say A last farwell! Oh, whenI’m far away *Mid friends of yore, and in my native land, I'll oft return to thee on wings of theught, Bright smiling land, and linger fer a while Among the scenes and friends I love so well. ffow throbs my heart by sad emo tions press'’d As I behold the steamer’s sable ball And smoking nostrils, which will soon awsy Over the deep, blue waters bear me on, My friends, I now must say good-bye to you ; Give me your hands—long may you live in peace, And al! the sweetest joys of earth be yours, Oh, stranger. smile not thet again a tear Distils beneath my heavy, drooping lid, For see how faust we're leaving in our wake Bright objects of my spiriv’s cherished love, Now, noble ship, f trust my all in thee, Oh, bear me sate from friends to friends again 5 Yet pduse awhile lL can take one long And lingerivg look atall I leave behind— There, hasie thee now, and bear me swift away, Hillis, vales, and trees, and flowers, and friends, furewell! <> SeFrom Putnam's Magazine. Living in the Country. BY MRS. SPARROWGRASS. { ‘We have an invitation to a party,’ said Mrs. Sparrowgrass, ‘on Friday next, jand I think a party is a very pleasant thing in the country. There is more soclability, more hospitality, warmer wel/comes, less dress, and less style, than there is in the city.’ Here Mrs. Sparrowgrass handed me an engraved card of ‘rather formidable dimensions, which must confess looked anything but rural. I took the missive with some misgivings, ‘I wonder,’ said I, in the most playful kind of bitter irony, ‘whether we will meet out there that young lady that never sings herself, but is always so passionately fond Mrs. Sparrouwgrass said she she said she heard she was ot; , married, ‘And that gentleman,’ I continued, ‘who was a stranger to me, that always “. wanted to be presented to some young lady that I didn’t know ?? Mrs. Sparrowgrass said she believed he had gone to California. “And that lady who prized confectionin defiance of the eighth commandment, and the laws of propriety ?” Mrs. Sparrowgrass said she knew the jlady to whom [ alluded, but she assured jme she was yet in New York, and had . not been seen about our village. ‘Then,’ said J, ‘Mrs. Sparrowgrass, we will go the party. Put my best shirt and . the white waiscoat on Monday’s wash.— . Never mind expense. Get mea crumb of bread, and bring me my old white gloves. Iam going to be gay.’ . ‘I think,’ said Mrs. Sparrowgrass, ‘that o party in town is nothing but embarrasscos ‘True,’ said I. ‘Don’t you re. ; . member,’ said she, ‘what a fuss I used to make about getting my hair fixed, and how put ont I was that night when you forgot the japonica?’ ‘Certainly.? ‘And . then, when we were all dressed and ready, . how we used to wait for fear of getting . there too early, and after we did reach the house, how we always got in a corner, and made happy wall flowers of ourselves, and some old friends ?? ‘Of course I do.’ ‘Where nobody took any notice of us?’ ‘Exactly.’ ‘Then what difference did it make how I dressed—whether I wore Honiton lace or cotton edging?? ‘Iam afraid,’ said 1, ‘Mrs. Sparrowgrass, if you had made a point of wearing cotton lace, you would not have been invited.’ this palpable double entendre I felt that secret satisfaction which every man must feel when he has saida good thing. It was lost on Mrs. Sparrowgrass. ‘Here,’ jshe continued, ‘we expect a simple, old. fashioned entertainment.’ Then I chimed ‘in, ‘No gas-lights to make your eyes ache—-no patent leather to make your i feet ache—no fashionable follies to make your heart ache--and no overheated, illventilated rooms, boned turkeys, game, ig \ . . ce-cream, Charlotte Russe, pates, chamagne, and chicken-salad, to make your head ache next morning.’ ‘There will be oysters and ice-cream,’ said Mrs. Sparrowgrass, dubieusly. ‘I wish,’ said [, ‘there was a prospect of apples and cider, instead. The moment . get inside the ‘doors, and breathe the mingled odors of oysters and geraniums, it will carry me ‘back to town, and for one evening, at ileast, I shall forget that we are living in the country. . . . . ‘J could be enntent To see no other rerdure than its own : To feel no other breezes than are blown i Through its tall wood 3 ibut we must succumb; we will go like . plain, sensible people, won’t we ?’ ‘If you were me, what would you wear?’ said Mrs. Sparrowgrass. ‘Something very plain, my dear.’ ‘Then,’ said Mrs. Sparrowgrass, ‘I have nothing very plain, suitable for a party, and to-morrow I must go to town and do a little shopping. ‘Tam afraid,’ said I, (after the second day’s hard shopping in town) ‘your dress is going to be too plain, my dear. Every hour brings a fresh boy, with a fresh bundle, and 2 freeh bill, to my office.’— -ibeen able to come for us on acconnt of for . have a natural horror of parties.— } ery above good-breeding, and went home . with her pockets well stuffed with mottoes, . Mrs. Sparrowgrass said, ‘that if I thought so, perhaps she had better get something expensive when she went to buy the trimmings.’ I told her I thought her dress would do without trimming. She said, ‘it would be ridiculous without gimp or galloon; but perhaps I would prefer velvet

ribbon, on account of the flounces?’? I told her she had better get the velvet ribbon, andomit the gimp and galloon.— Mrs. Sparrowgrass said, ‘Very well;?. and the next day another boy brought another bundle, and another bill, which convinced me that extras form an important item in rural architecture. Then we had a dress-maker for several days, and then the stitching went on by sun-light and by lamp-light, and on the last day Mrs. S. discovered that she had nothing for her head, and the new bonnet was taken to pieces to get at the feathers for a cotffure. Then when the night fell, there fell, too, a soaking rain; and I had forgotten the carriage, so 1 was obliged to go a mile in the mud to order one from the livery stable. Then I had to walk said, ‘on wash days.’ One objection might be urged, and that was, after every heavy rain he found a gully in his garden path, and several cart-loads of gravel in his cess-pool. Besides, the pipe was of an equal width, and one obstruction led to another; sometimes it was a silver spoon and a child’s frock; sometimes it was a scrubbing-brush, a piece of soap, anda handkerchief. I said that if he had made a square wooden trough, gradually widening from end to end, it would have cleared itself, and then I thoucht it . would be a good thing for me to have such aone myself. Then I hada cesspool built at the bottom of the wall, under . the bank, which is about one hundred and fifty feet from the kitchen, and told my carpenter to make a trough of that length. Carpenter asked me ‘how big I wanted it?? I told him about eight inches in diameter at the end nearest to the house, . and then gradually widening all the way . for the whole length. AsI said this, my . carpenter smiled, and said he never heard . of such a thing.’ I told him no, that the back, as the man said “it was out ;” but) idea was an original one of my own.

Not supposing he was serious they lauched at it, but he assured them: it was sc, and in a short time they saw him drink something from a tin cup, whicu he said was poison. He then took off Ins coat, shook hands with ‘all and bidding them good bye, laid down on a table, as he suid, to die. Some of his friends fearing that it might not be a joke, as they cxpected, sent fora physician, who came In short time, but ere he arrived a druggist had examined the settling of the portion swatiowed, and upon analyzivg it, pronounced it glauber or epsom salts.

He has had a drain made in the kitchen, with a long earthen pipe ending in a cess-pool-at the end of his garden. The object of it is to carry off the superfluous water from the hovse. It was a great eenrenience, he raising money to procure a pair of cork legs, but as soon ashe raises a hundred or two dollars, he bucks it away at some thieving gembling table; this has been the case both at Minnesota, Forest City, and the neighborhood of Galena Hill. The} man scemsto have an uncontrollable passion for gambling, and his is certainly a case worthy of commiseration, and instead of giving him money to make him game for swindlers, he should be sent to a hospital or asylum to be taken eare of. We have seen some depravity in our time, but we did not think there were in the mountains gamblers mean enough to allow a man without legs, who is forced to trail himself along the ground on sticks and stumps, to buek at their banks, worming out of him the quarters and halves bestowed by charity, Such wretches should be kicked out of the doggery, by gamblers who do not prey on cripples. —Sterra Cittren.
