My Home o’er the Sea.
Oh let me go back to my dear native home——
The home of my childhood, no longer to roam;
The,homeof my kindred, the home o’er the sea,
Where fond hearts are wishing and waiting for me.
Again let me visit these dear native seenes—
The land of my fond hopes, the land of my dreams;
Where sisters and brothers are blithsome and free—
Oh land of my childhood, the dearest to me!
*Tis long since I left thee, thou dear native spot,
But there:s love for thee yet that time cannot blot;
Llong to be going—I’m yearning to see
The dear one’s I left far away o’er the sea.
My home in these mountains is pleasant to me,
Where bright gushing fountains flow briskly and free,
Where the tall pine trees rex their tops to the skies,
And the beautiful hills in majesty rise.
But pleasauter far are the green native hills
That roamed o’erin youth midst woedlands and rills,
With sisters and brothers—how happy were we
In that home of childhood, my home o’ér the sea.

LOG CABIN INKLINGS.
No. Hl.
I pity that portion of my fellowbeings who have been so unfortunate
as to be born with gold spoons in
their mouths.
Don’t cry “sour grapes” at me for
this burst of pity. I do not live in a
glass house, and that stone from the
old quarry of Esop falls harmless up~
on the roof of my humble cabin,
On reflection, I repeat that I pity
them. Wealth has entailed upon
them an ignorance worse than that. of
the unlettered plebian, who substitutes
for the full flowing signature of the
colleges the hieroglyphical X he calls
his mark. Do not laugh at that crow’s
foot, ye rich ones, fresh from college.
Forget not that it was the rulers of
the earth who first used it, and that
its primary signification was as sacred
as the CROSS it imitated.
True, wealth brings with it many
desirable things which are seldom enjoyed by those who have nothing from
the world but what they force from it
—many blessings. unshared by. the
wretchedly poor. As Charles Lamb
pleasantly observes—
“Goodly legs. and shoulders of mutton, exhilirating
“cordials, BOOKS, pictures, the opportunities of seeing for“eign countries, INDEPENDENCE, heart's ease, aman’s own
“time to himself, are not muck—however we may~be
“pleased to scandalize with that appellation the faith“ful metal that provides them for us.”
But these things to be properly enjoyed must be earned. The man who
inherits them lacks the keen appreciation which poverty alone can give.
Herein consists one proof of his
ignorance, though not the greatest.
Let me ask myself again— am I envious? Would I be the thing he is
for what he owns? No—yet I do
envy the born-rich. I envy him his
capacity for usefulness—the bounds
less means he possesses to make his
neighbors happy and to surround himself by an atmosphere of human love.
Tenvy him the spectacle that he might
have of tearful gratitude, or, better
yet, the sight of faces brilliant with a
happiness of Ais creation. Unknown
to myself there may be lower motives
. for this envy than those I mention.—
Perhaps no Diogenes amongst us but
has felt, or fancied, his superiority to

He grows up a comparatively iso~
lated being, confined to kindred associates and factitioug joys bchind those
monastic, bars of gold which exclude
him as well from knowing mankind as
from frequent opportunity to assist
them. He is deprived of that enlarged sympathy, acquired only by
equal communion with all men, which
is the source of innumerable pleas~
ures as it is the ‘soother‘of innumerable woes.
And the wife he takes to his bosom
—takes from the false. world of the
drawing-room and weds in the fashionable church whose white marblo
and staired windows inspire no religion—what is she better? No sight
is more painful to witness than that
of such a woman, a pyramid of costly
stuffs, of feathers, silks and laces,
gliding down the pave with haughty
steps and ever-present consciousness
of self, beautiful as a peacock and as
vain, as if nothing stood between earth
and heaven but her! Sucha spectacle is painful because the woman
seems ignorant of all that is best in
herself—ignorant of that humility and
tender sympathy which lie deep in
every good woman’s breast, prompting
to the quiet performance of good:
deeds.
It is painful and pitiful because it
forces doubts of domestic happiness,
and leaves us with the reflection that
when she dies she will leave nothing
valuable but her wardrobe. But the
born-rich is protected by his own selfishness, perhaps, from such troubles
some thoughts as these. go is ever
uppermost ia his mind as in hers.—
For him men were made, not he for
men.
If you dispute the justice of this
conclusion, he is insulted; if you smile
upon him he frowns; if you court his
society he repulses you.
Thus is he condemned to waste
life, or to lose it, in ignorant selfishness, guiltless of plebian companionship; passing away, at last, from the
possescion of wealth without having
made a sign by which it may be
known he lived. Truly, there is
cause to pity him.
How different the fate of he,,who
emerges from some lonely hut in the
wilderness, to wrestle with the angel
of life till day dawns on his triumph!
The struggle may be hard, but it is
attended by collateral delights and
peculiar advantages.
His affections are not quenched but
enlarge with his experience. LHvery
where along the pathway of existence
friends are springing to meet him—
fernone are too humble for Ais acquaintance, and from all he gains
much good, obtains many a rare gem
of knowledge to enrich his mind withe
all. .
No well drilled exclusiveness makes
him afraid of the world; ’tis his fami-~
ly, and he loves it. The simplest
members of this family are not contemned, for contempt is a growth of
conventionality. He need take no
deep masonic oaths of brotherhood;
the very fact of his being pledges
him to fraternity. Every new ace
quaintance is an acquisition of profitable pleasure; from every chat by the
roadside he gains something which in
after years will prove a pleasing retrospection, if nothing more. If any
despise him, he can afford to smile end
pity while he smiles, studying curiously, meanwhile, that anomaly in
ependent man which makes him
tude be his portion, or contumely, or
neglect, he has sufficient company

Now the born-rich
does not do this, therefore he is an ignoramus. He is shut out from the
creation to which he rightly belongs
by the circumstances of his birth and
from the very first minute of it. Fresh
from his mother’s womb he lies on
line, and his couch is draped with
damask or with costlier silks and
His first perceptions are of

He inhales not. the free air
of democratic nature—drinks not his
mother’s milk even, but inspires the
perfumed odors of dazzling boudoirs
and draws his sustenance from hires
benefactors, poor like him, but more
unfortunate, except that they have
lived, are with him always: he can
keep company with all the ages, and
enlarge this little circle of the present
to the full round of eternity. For
him Nature unfolds her book of beauty, from whence he may draw into
his soul the refinement of loveliness—
its philosophy and its poetry. Life
cannot be a failure to such as he,
even if he fails to accomplish his favorite desire, to enjoy a competence
and to die beneath his own roof.
He has not lived in vain who truly
lived, faithful to his own convictions,
tolerant of others, doing the duty that
lay nearest him, zealous for self-improvement and the welfare of others.
The influence of such a man lives
after him—in his useful works, in the
memory of his friends, and in the
hea rts of his kindred.

THE HYDRAULIC PRESS
Things Pleasant to Mention.
The N. Y. correspondent of the
Illustrated London News, says, and
we believe truthfully, that not less
than three hundred thousand persons
in these United States preserve that
paper weekly; and these, too, of the
very best class of people. He finds
the ews carefully filed in nearly all
the public libraries and reading-rooms
throughout the Union; and it occupies
a conspicuous place in all our first
class hotels.
Even in the most remote and difficultly accessible mining villages and
camps of California the same can be
found, as our own experience testix
fies; its pictorial pages frequently being used to cover the interior walls
of the miner’s log cabin home.
This extensive popularity with the
Americans is no doubt due, next to
its admirable illustrations, which furnish th ids" of their’ only
ideas-of art, to the fact that no other
English paper devotes so much space
to trans-Atlantic affairs, or so correctly understands them.
The Cahfornia papers say that
5,000 children visited Lee’s circus
at San Francisco at one time, not
long ago. What weary gold seeker
of 1849, as he trod over those hot
drifting sand hills of Yerba Buena,
ever thought te see them so blossoming with youthful human promise?
A sentimental burglar in New Orleans entered the sleeping chamber of
a lovely girl to steal her jewels, but
preferred a kiss, and. left an elegant
written apology for the sweet theft.
Thirty-five hundred children joined their little voices in choral harmony at the Chrystal Palace, England,
on the occasion of a great musical
festival given by the “Tonic Sol-Fa
Association.
THE Rosrere.—They have a beautifal custom in the villages aroun
Paris, of annually presenting to the
most virtuous maiden a lovely rose;
offered as a prize for that purpose.—
The presentation is made by the most
respectable citizens of the town or
village, who also invest the fair recipient of love and virtue’s emblem
with a.crown of roses, sometimes also’
with a golden cross or a gift of money. The occasionis celebrated as a
public gala day, and the portrait of
the most virtuous frequently preser~
ved in the towm hall,
Infinite are the roads to fame.—
An Englishman by the name of Collet
distinguished himself by paying all
the game fines which came to his notice, and now has a monument erectéd to his honor, inseribed “to the
memory of the poaeher’s friend.”
