Came they from sinner or from saint, Cast them in, for the fire is faint; The fire is faint, and the frost is strong, And these old letters have lived too long. How welcome once it matters not: Their worth away with time has sped, The love is over, the hope ia dead, And the old friend has forgot. (Harpers’ Weekly. “Cast them in!”—I will first look o'er These dearer pages than classic lore, And scan the feelings which moved my heart As I earnestly vowed I ne’er would part With these letters from friends of yore: The package islarge, I will hasten through, As one hurried glance at each will do— “Then, “old letters,” your time is o’er. “Cast them in!” whose are thesé that I raise? Ah yes! from a friend of my school-boy days, Whose laughing black eyes in my thoughts I see, As in school they beamed with mischievous glee Whet the master's back was turned. *Tis long since he wrote but a line would be Sufficient to kindle his love for me As brightly as ever it burned. These lines were traced by a father’s hand To his wandering son in a distant land, And I ween his heart ‘Wwhs filled with care As he penned—“ Beware of the tempter’s snare ! Stand firm when’the trial is ‘near!’ Though I oft have yielded and wantonly strayed, Yet as often my steps has this talisman stayed As I turned with a penitent tear. These few, long hid in a corner law ‘Though I calmly rest, as I read to-day, Yet memories sad with these sheets entwine ;— ‘The heart thatinspired them once was mine, And I dreamed such love would last ! But, no matter—’tis past ; the dream is o’er : Ihave wakened, and now shall dream no méte This vision of the past. How sweet these lines from my sister dear, Bright gushings of love from a fountain clear, As she pleads with me fondly— Cease to roam, For anxious hearts now await thee at home In their circle totake thy part; Bring poverty, sickness, wealth or fame,— Bring, better than all, astainless name, And a loving and trusting heart.” Be still. my heart! *Tis the spell of years, And purest love that bringeth these tears. Dear mother! perhape thine eyes were dim, And shook thy hand while writing to him Thou callest “ My first-born boy !” Though blotted the page, atl thy wealth of love Shinesclear in each line asthe stars above, And it yields me the purest joy. “Cast them in!” I have traveled long and far, And these letters have been my Northern star; When weary, how oft my head I've p ressed On these“ old letters,” to seek for rest And to dream of thé “ old time past!” And I'll “ cast them in”—when this heart is cold As the granite cliffs of these mountains old When! they feel the wintry blast.

They are the violets and primrose brood of human life,who leatch their youthful imoulses from the brightening skies aud gentle breezes of the spring. Everywhere they are welcome; in all climes they wear the same glowing, hopeful, gol. den colors of eye and soul; but here, in the vanishing deserts, and still brooding solitudes of these mountains, where manhood has so long been separated from the joys of family and home, they are indeed, angels in our pathway.—San Andreas IndepeneRe A eens ee Advice ofan Aztec Mother to her Daughter. The following admirable passage, which {llustrates the antiquity of good manners, is part of an original translation from Sahagun’s “Historia de Nueva Espano” which is given in the Appendix to Prescott’s ‘*Conquest of Mexico.” As the historian of Cortez remarks, ‘It is the product of the twilight of civilization,” having been written upwards of three centuries ago; but it is no less worthy the regard of the maidens of to-day than of that ancient Mexi¢an girl who received it from her mother when this continent was to the old one a land unknown. The Aztec matron first assures her ‘-beloved daughter,” her “very dear little dove”’ of her affection, earnestly charges her to observe the advice of her father, and then counsels her as follows, concluding at much length on the beauty and necessity of a chaste and holy life: Take care that your garments are such as are decent and proper; and observe that you do not adorn yourself with much finery, since this is a mark of vanity and folly. As little becoming is it, that your dress should be very mean, dirty, or ragged; since rags area mark of the low, and of those who are held in contempt. Let your clothes be becoming and neat, that you may neither appear fantastic nor mean. When you speak, do not hurry your words from uneasiness, but speak deliberately and calmly. Do not raise your voice very high, nor speak very low, but in a moderate tone. Neither mince, when you speak,nor when you salute, nor speak through your nose: but let your words be proper, of a good sound, and your voice gentle. Do not be nice in the choice of your words. In walking, my daughter, see that you behave becomingly, neither going with haste, nor too slowly; since itis . an evidence of being puffed up, to walk too slowly, and walking hastily causes a vicious habit of restlessness } and instability. Thetefore neither walk very fast, nor very slow} yet, when it shall be necessary to go with haste, do so,—in this use your discretion. And when you may be obliged to jamp over a pool of water, do it with decency, that you may neither appear clumsy nor light. When you are in the street, do not carry your head much inclined, or your body bent} nor aslittle go with your head very much raised; since it is a mark of ill breeding; walk erect, and with your head slightly inclined. Do not have your mouth tovered, or your face, from shame, nor go looking like a near-sighted person, nor, on your way, make fantastic movements with your feet. Walk through the street quietly, and with propriety.— Another thing that you must attend to, my daughter, is, that, when you are in the street, you do not yo looking hither and thither, nor turning your head to look at this and that} walk neither looking at the skies, nor onthe ground. Do not look upon those whom you meet with the eyes of an offended person, nor have the appearance of being uneasy ; but of one whe looks upon all with a serene countenance; doing this, you will give no one occasion of being offended with you. Show a becoming countenance; that you may neither appear morose, nor, on the other hand. too complaisant. See, my daughter,that you give yourself no concern about the words you may hear, in going through the street, nor pay any regard to them, let those who come and go say what they will. ‘Take care that you neither answer nor speak, but act as if you neither heard nor understood them; since, doing in this manner, no one will be able to say with trath that you have said any thing amiss. See, likewise, my daughter, that you never paint your face, or stain it or your lips with colors,in order to appear well; since this is a mark of vile and unchaste women. THE HYDRAULIC PRESS Sour Grapes. The man who seeks wealth with no definite idea of employing it for an unselfish purpose, is a_ stave. Wealth is the Moloch to which he sacrifices nearly ail that is noble in his nature. And for what, after all, does he do this? Because it will bring him friends, a home, and the tomforts which make home pleasant? Be-~ cause wealth will prolong the echo of his name a few days longer than his body remains above the ground? No, for if he secures these it is by other means than excessive wealth. It is the poor man of a kind heart, his hand gently touching all little heads as he passes along, after whom all the dogs and chitdren fondly run, and adults cast good-natured glances. It is the doer of useful deeds that is gratefully remembered after death, in spite of what, in moods of misanthropy, or by disappointed men may e said to the contrary. Many a little hut by the roads de now shelters humble benefactors who will be embalmed in grateful hearts throngh many generations after names now great ‘on change” are forgotten. If a man dies old and rich, it is presumptive evidence against him. One may have the misfortune to die before he was able to expend usefully the riches which were accumulated with a laudable motive; and the possibility of this is Ais sufficient de-~ fence. But to die a wealthy octogenarian—what defence does this admit? Some one observed when John Quincy Adams paid vhe debt of nature, that nothing could be urged to his disadvantage, except that he died worth some thousands of dollars. So it is that, at the all-swallowing grave, the glitter of a man’s riches will obscure for a time the milder radiance of his good deeds; but these will blossom for bim above the sod, and attract reverent feet to the spot where he lies, long after his wealth is forgiven him. **Orly the actions of the just Smell sweet and bloss+m iu the dust.’’ Tuvs Strives Emprre.—The P. M. General advertises for proposals for conveying the mails of the United States over six different routes centering at Salt Lake City in Utah.— The aggregate length of these routes is between 700 and 800 miles. They traverse a country lying midway between the extremes of civilization on each side of the continent, anda country which was, unknown to the world within our own memory. Bas>'The Philadelphia Bulletin has an exchange list of ‘one thousand newspapers from every spot where newspapers are pubilshed.” STEAM vs. Rowbyism.—The Philadelphia fulks have discovered that steam fire engines are the only things that will kill the “killers” and reform the fire department. They will have at least twelve of these powerful machines in less than a year. They work admirably in Cincinnati. Bee Where Truth may be found is thus quaintly told by Charles Lamb ina “Curious Fragment,” which he wrote in imitation of Robert Burton, “If Very Truth be extant indeed on earth, as some hold she it is which actuateS men’s deeds, purposes, ye may in vain look for her in the lcarned universities, halls, colleges. Truth is no doctresse, she takes no degrees at Paris or Oxford, amongst great clerks, disputants, subtile Aristutles, men no dosi ingenit, able to take Tully by the chin, but oftentimes to such an one as myself, an Jdiota or common person, no great things, melancholizing in woods where waters are, quiet places by rivers, fountains ; whereas the silly man expecting no such matter, thinketh only how best to delectate and refresh his mind continually with WVature, her pleasant scenes, woods, waterfalls, or Art, her stately gardens, parks, terraces, Belvideres, on a sudden the goddess herself Truth has appeared, with a shining light, and a sparkling counteSq@p-The world makes us talkers, . nance, 6» as ye may not be able but eolitude makes us thinkers. lightly to resist her.” A Pioneer Gone. Thomas O. Larkin died on the 27th ult., at San Francisco. He came to this country from Boston in 18382, before Sutter arrived here, married, it is said, the first American female who ever settled in California, and the children born of this marfiage were the first Americans of unmixed blood born in California. For about twelve years he engaged in commercial pursuits at Monterey, carrying on a considerable export trade. He was the first and last American consul in this country, and occupied other public positions. When Fremont arrived here in 1846, Larkin took a very prominent and active part in securing California to the possession of our government. He subsequently sent east very full and reliable accounts of the gold discovery, and was one of the formers of our State Constitution. apt he has not been known to the majority of Californias except as a largé land holder. The Sacramento Union, from which paper these particulars are gathered, remarks that * his honorable efforts in aid of our flag, and in planting the first of our institutions on this coast, will be remembered when his large possessions of land and his singleness of devotion in later years to the accumulation of wealth shall have been forgotten.” But this last sentence is very unjust if we may. believe the editor of the Mventng Telegram, who seems to have known Mr. Larkin, and pays the following tribute to his worth: *“* Always prompt and upright in his dealings with the worldalways kind to the unfortunate<=always honest in purpose-=always good and pure was Thomas Q. Larkin. His roof, it ig true covered the head of a very rich man; yet, beneath it also rested in peace and comfort, the noble soul. Indeed, the strange thought has often occurred to us that Mr. Larkin lived like one who knew there was something higher and better to labor for than dollars and cents.” Pure Liquors.—A sensible writer in the Nevada WVatienal scouts at the idea that any kind of alcoholic bever age is good for man. He says: ‘“* Nothing is more common among people than to talk about pure liquors. They prate about them, and commend them, as if they were not only harmless, but the very elixir of life. Pure wine, pure brandy, pure whiskey. “Oh, drink as much as you please, it won’t hurt you,”—how often do you hear it said. ‘“*The truth of it is, there is no sort of alcoholic drink, whether wine, brandy, or whiskey, but that deranges the system, disorders the vital action to a greater or Jess degree, induces disease, abridges happiness, and shortens life. ‘Pure liquors!” Why, you had just as well talk about pure. arsenic, or pure hydrocyanic acid. Liquors, pure as they can be made of their different varieties, drank daily in quantities sufficient to make a des cided stimulant impression on the animal economy, and even in quantities much less, we might venture to say” is just as sure to derange the physis: eal powers, sap the energies of the, intellect, weaken the body, shorten the life, and degenerate man and his species, as a stone thrown in the air is to fall to the earth again. 2 * * * @ ‘< There is too much tippling in this country among all classes, and unless stopped, the species must suffer deg» radation from it, to a greater or less degree. . Good, plain, wholesome diet, active . exercise, a noblo purpose, an honest heart, a humane disposition, and a clear conscience, are the principal conditions of health and happiness on earth, and go a great way towards preparing a man for Heaven. The purest liquors are unnecessary. The are but an apology for “‘gentlemanly”? -. tippling, Let themalone: Save your money, your body uncorrupted, and discharge your duty, like a man’and a philosopher, to yourself, your cies, your country and your God.” bee Professor Agassiz thinks the creation of roses was coeval with i of the first woman—the fairest flower and the fairest creature given te 'the world at the same moment.

Came they from sinner or from saint, Cast them in, for the fire is faint; The fire is faint, and the frost is strong, And these old letters have lived too long. How welcome once it matters not: Their worth away with time has sped, The love is over, the hope ia dead, And the old friend has forgot. (Harpers’ Weekly. “Cast them in!”—I will first look o'er These dearer pages than classic lore, And scan the feelings which moved my heart As I earnestly vowed I ne’er would part With these letters from friends of yore: The package islarge, I will hasten through, As one hurried glance at each will do— “Then, “old letters,” your time is o’er. “Cast them in!” whose are thesé that I raise? Ah yes! from a friend of my school-boy days, Whose laughing black eyes in my thoughts I see, As in school they beamed with mischievous glee Whet the master's back was turned. *Tis long since he wrote but a line would be Sufficient to kindle his love for me As brightly as ever it burned. These lines were traced by a father’s hand To his wandering son in a distant land, And I ween his heart ‘Wwhs filled with care As he penned—“ Beware of the tempter’s snare ! Stand firm when’the trial is ‘near!’ Though I oft have yielded and wantonly strayed, Yet as often my steps has this talisman stayed As I turned with a penitent tear. These few, long hid in a corner law ‘Though I calmly rest, as I read to-day, Yet memories sad with these sheets entwine ;— ‘The heart thatinspired them once was mine, And I dreamed such love would last ! But, no matter—’tis past ; the dream is o’er : Ihave wakened, and now shall dream no méte This vision of the past. How sweet these lines from my sister dear, Bright gushings of love from a fountain clear, As she pleads with me fondly— Cease to roam, For anxious hearts now await thee at home In their circle totake thy part; Bring poverty, sickness, wealth or fame,— Bring, better than all, astainless name, And a loving and trusting heart.” Be still. my heart! *Tis the spell of years, And purest love that bringeth these tears. Dear mother! perhape thine eyes were dim, And shook thy hand while writing to him Thou callest “ My first-born boy !” Though blotted the page, atl thy wealth of love Shinesclear in each line asthe stars above, And it yields me the purest joy. “Cast them in!” I have traveled long and far, And these letters have been my Northern star; When weary, how oft my head I've p ressed On these“ old letters,” to seek for rest And to dream of thé “ old time past!” And I'll “ cast them in”—when this heart is cold As the granite cliffs of these mountains old When! they feel the wintry blast.

They are the violets and primrose brood of human life,who leatch their youthful imoulses from the brightening skies aud gentle breezes of the spring. Everywhere they are welcome; in all climes they wear the same glowing, hopeful, gol. den colors of eye and soul; but here, in the vanishing deserts, and still brooding solitudes of these mountains, where manhood has so long been separated from the joys of family and home, they are indeed, angels in our pathway.—San Andreas IndepeneRe A eens ee Advice ofan Aztec Mother to her Daughter. The following admirable passage, which {llustrates the antiquity of good manners, is part of an original translation from Sahagun’s “Historia de Nueva Espano” which is given in the Appendix to Prescott’s ‘*Conquest of Mexico.” As the historian of Cortez remarks, ‘It is the product of the twilight of civilization,” having been written upwards of three centuries ago; but it is no less worthy the regard of the maidens of to-day than of that ancient Mexi¢an girl who received it from her mother when this continent was to the old one a land unknown. The Aztec matron first assures her ‘-beloved daughter,” her “very dear little dove”’ of her affection, earnestly charges her to observe the advice of her father, and then counsels her as follows, concluding at much length on the beauty and necessity of a chaste and holy life: Take care that your garments are such as are decent and proper; and observe that you do not adorn yourself with much finery, since this is a mark of vanity and folly. As little becoming is it, that your dress should be very mean, dirty, or ragged; since rags area mark of the low, and of those who are held in contempt. Let your clothes be becoming and neat, that you may neither appear fantastic nor mean. When you speak, do not hurry your words from uneasiness, but speak deliberately and calmly. Do not raise your voice very high, nor speak very low, but in a moderate tone. Neither mince, when you speak,nor when you salute, nor speak through your nose: but let your words be proper, of a good sound, and your voice gentle. Do not be nice in the choice of your words. In walking, my daughter, see that you behave becomingly, neither going with haste, nor too slowly; since itis . an evidence of being puffed up, to walk too slowly, and walking hastily causes a vicious habit of restlessness } and instability. Thetefore neither walk very fast, nor very slow} yet, when it shall be necessary to go with haste, do so,—in this use your discretion. And when you may be obliged to jamp over a pool of water, do it with decency, that you may neither appear clumsy nor light. When you are in the street, do not carry your head much inclined, or your body bent} nor aslittle go with your head very much raised; since it is a mark of ill breeding; walk erect, and with your head slightly inclined. Do not have your mouth tovered, or your face, from shame, nor go looking like a near-sighted person, nor, on your way, make fantastic movements with your feet. Walk through the street quietly, and with propriety.— Another thing that you must attend to, my daughter, is, that, when you are in the street, you do not yo looking hither and thither, nor turning your head to look at this and that} walk neither looking at the skies, nor onthe ground. Do not look upon those whom you meet with the eyes of an offended person, nor have the appearance of being uneasy ; but of one whe looks upon all with a serene countenance; doing this, you will give no one occasion of being offended with you. Show a becoming countenance; that you may neither appear morose, nor, on the other hand. too complaisant. See, my daughter,that you give yourself no concern about the words you may hear, in going through the street, nor pay any regard to them, let those who come and go say what they will. ‘Take care that you neither answer nor speak, but act as if you neither heard nor understood them; since, doing in this manner, no one will be able to say with trath that you have said any thing amiss. See, likewise, my daughter, that you never paint your face, or stain it or your lips with colors,in order to appear well; since this is a mark of vile and unchaste women. THE HYDRAULIC PRESS Sour Grapes. The man who seeks wealth with no definite idea of employing it for an unselfish purpose, is a_ stave. Wealth is the Moloch to which he sacrifices nearly ail that is noble in his nature. And for what, after all, does he do this? Because it will bring him friends, a home, and the tomforts which make home pleasant? Be-~ cause wealth will prolong the echo of his name a few days longer than his body remains above the ground? No, for if he secures these it is by other means than excessive wealth. It is the poor man of a kind heart, his hand gently touching all little heads as he passes along, after whom all the dogs and chitdren fondly run, and adults cast good-natured glances. It is the doer of useful deeds that is gratefully remembered after death, in spite of what, in moods of misanthropy, or by disappointed men may e said to the contrary. Many a little hut by the roads de now shelters humble benefactors who will be embalmed in grateful hearts throngh many generations after names now great ‘on change” are forgotten. If a man dies old and rich, it is presumptive evidence against him. One may have the misfortune to die before he was able to expend usefully the riches which were accumulated with a laudable motive; and the possibility of this is Ais sufficient de-~ fence. But to die a wealthy octogenarian—what defence does this admit? Some one observed when John Quincy Adams paid vhe debt of nature, that nothing could be urged to his disadvantage, except that he died worth some thousands of dollars. So it is that, at the all-swallowing grave, the glitter of a man’s riches will obscure for a time the milder radiance of his good deeds; but these will blossom for bim above the sod, and attract reverent feet to the spot where he lies, long after his wealth is forgiven him. **Orly the actions of the just Smell sweet and bloss+m iu the dust.’’ Tuvs Strives Emprre.—The P.

Bee Where Truth may be found is thus quaintly told by Charles Lamb ina “Curious Fragment,” which he wrote in imitation of Robert Burton, “If Very Truth be extant indeed on earth, as some hold she it is which actuateS men’s deeds, purposes, ye may in vain look for her in the lcarned universities, halls, colleges.

Thomas O. Larkin died on the 27th ult., at San Francisco. He came to this country from Boston in 18382, before Sutter arrived here, married, it is said, the first American female who ever settled in California, and the children born of this marfiage were the first Americans of unmixed blood born in California. For about twelve years he engaged in commercial pursuits at Monterey, carrying on a considerable export trade. He was the first and last American consul in this country, and occupied other public positions. When Fremont arrived here in 1846, Larkin took a very prominent and active part in securing California to the possession of our government. He subsequently sent east very full and reliable accounts of the gold discovery, and was one of the formers of our State Constitution. apt he has not been known to the majority of Californias except as a largé land holder. The Sacramento Union, from which paper these particulars are gathered, remarks that * his honorable efforts in aid of our flag, and in planting the first of our institutions on this coast, will be remembered when his large possessions of land and his singleness of devotion in later years to the accumulation of wealth shall have been forgotten.” But this last sentence is very unjust if we may. believe the editor of the Mventng Telegram, who seems to have known Mr. Larkin, and pays the following tribute to his worth: *“* Always prompt and upright in his dealings with the worldalways kind to the unfortunate<=always honest in purpose-=always good and pure was Thomas Q. Larkin. His roof, it ig true covered the head of a very rich man; yet, beneath it also rested in peace and comfort, the noble soul. Indeed, the strange thought has often occurred to us that Mr. Larkin lived like one who knew there was something higher and better to labor for than dollars and cents.” Pure Liquors.—A sensible writer in the Nevada WVatienal scouts at the idea that any kind of alcoholic bever age is good for man. He says: ‘“* Nothing is more common among people than to talk about pure liquors. They prate about them, and commend them, as if they were not only harmless, but the very elixir of life. Pure wine, pure brandy, pure whiskey. “Oh, drink as much as you please, it won’t hurt you,”—how often do you hear it said. ‘“*The truth of it is, there is no sort of alcoholic drink, whether wine, brandy, or whiskey, but that deranges the system, disorders the vital action to a greater or Jess degree, induces disease, abridges happiness, and shortens life. ‘Pure liquors!” Why, you had just as well talk about pure. arsenic, or pure hydrocyanic acid.
