A   FANCY— Bi Owns Merbdith.
How sweet tbis life—this life, if wo
(My love aud I) might dwell together
Here beyond the summer sea,
la the heart of summer weather!
Witb pomegranates on the bough,
And with lilies in tho bower ;
And a sight of distant snow,
Rosy iu the sunset hour.
Aid a little house—no more
In state than suits two quiet lovers ;
Aad a woodbine round the door,
Where the swallow builds and hovare;
With a silver sickle-moon,
O'er hot gardeus. red wih roses :
Aud a window wide, in June,
For serenades when evening cloees :
In a chamber cool and simple,
Trellised light from rool to basement ;
Aud a summer wind to dimple
Tbe white curtain ut the casement:
Where, il we at midnight wake,
A green acacia tree shall quiver.
In the moonlight, o'er some lake
Where nightingales.'sing son__a forever.
With a pine wood dark In sight ;
Aud a bean Held climbing to us,
to make odors faint at night
Where we roam to view us.
And a convent on the bill.
Through its light green olives peeping
In the clear sunlight, and so Btill,
All the nuus, you'd say were sleeping.
Seas a( dffltanoo, seen beneath
Grated garden wildernesses—
Not so /ar but what their breath
At eve may fan my darling's tresies.
A piano, soft in sound.
To make music when speech wanders,
Poeta reverently bound,
O'er whose pages rupture ponders.
Canvas, brushes, hues, to catch
Fleeting forms in vale or mountain,
And an evening star to watch
When all ia still, save one sweet fountain.
Ah ! I idle time away
With impossible fond fancies!
For a lover lives all day
In a world of lone romances.
But thc bot light o'er the city
DropB—and se»! on fire departs.
And the night comes down in pity
To tbe longing of our hearts.    .
Bind thy golden hair from falling,
0, my love, my one, my own !
'Tia for thee the cuckoo's calling
With a note of tender tone
Up the hill aide, near and nearer,
Through the vine, the corn, the flowers,
Till the very air grows dearer,
Neighboring our pleasant bowers.
Now|I pass the last Poderfi :
There the city lies behind me.
See her fluttering likt a fairy
O'er tbc happy grass to find me I

Rise! for the day is passing,
And you lie dreaming ou j
The others have buckled their armor,
And forth to fiyht are jjono ;
A place in the ranks awaits you,
Each man has some part to play ;
The Past and the Future aro nothing,
In the face of the stern To-day.
Rise from your dreams of the future—
Of gaining some hard-fought lield ;
Of storming some air fortress,
Or bidding some giant yield ;
Your future has deeds of glory,
Of honor (God grant it may!)
But your arm will never be stronger;
Orthe need so great as To-day.
Rise I if the past detains you,
lier sunshine and storms forget ;
Nn ohnino cn Br.win.tbj   tu Iiold VOU
As those cr ;>. vain velvet ■
Nor look back, save to learn the lesson
Of a nobler strife To day.
Rise ! for the day is passing :
The low sound that you scarcely hear
Is the enemy marching fo battle—
Arise! lor the foe is here I
Stay not to sharpen your weapons*,
Or the hour will strike nt last,
When, from dreams of a coming battle,
You may wake to find it past!

According to his own account, Andrew Anderson was the first white man who dug geld in California. He says :— "My fleet arrival in California
was in the year 1844, at LosAngeles. The first
discovery of gold in New Mexico was made by a
descendant of Montezuma in i,i>,1828, and by one
of the same race in California about thirty miles
west of LosAngeles, and near the Mission of San
Fernando, a short time before my arrival in the
State, in 1844. I was one of the first of fourteen
that went to the mines, and the only American
there. I made the first gold washing machine at
that time, and I think it was the first that was ever
made in California. The natives appeared to be
much surprised at its adaptation for gold washing,
and said thero was never any made of any kind in
the country, it was uoc n reeKBr*, out a kihu ui
cylinder shaped machine. I would give you a description of it here. Tho machine was about three
feet in diameter, and three feet in height, with a
gate an inch from the bottom. (V shaft was in the
centre, with arma ou the shaft, and on the arms at
the bottom there were crow teeth five-eighths of
ch apart, and one-quarter of an inch from
the bottom of lhe machine. This worked by a
crank on the top of tbe machine, and the arms aud
teeth at the bottom kept tlie din in motion, and
the gold settled into grooves made near the
chimes in the bottom. It was the best machine
for gathering gold that I have ever seen. I worked it fourteeu days, which was the time I stayed
n the mine, and got two' pounds of fine gold. It
vas worth at that time $14 per ounce. We were
driven out by the Tulare Indians, and no one ever
worked them up to 1850. All of my statements
are known to he correct by the old settlers of California, to-wit : Johnson, a blacksmith who made
the iron work for my machine, John Rowland, J-
Workman, John Temple, Abel Stearns, Alexander
Bell, Lonis Robidous, John Forster, and a Mr-
Saxton.
The Nations Without Fire.—According to
Pliny, fire was for a longtime unknown to some
of the ancient Egyptians ; and when Exodus (the
celebrated astronomer) showed it to them they
were absolutely in raptures. The Persians, Phoenicians, Greeks, and several other nations, acknowledge that their ancestors were once without
the use of fire, and thc Chinese confess the same
of their progenitors. Pompanius, Mela, Plutarch
and other ancient authors, speak of nations
who, at the time they wrote, knew not the
use of fire, or had ju?t learned it. Facts of the
same kind are also attested by several moderu nations. The inhabitants of tho Marian Islands,
which were discovered in 1*661, had no idea of fire.
Never was surprise greater than theirs, wheu they
saw it on the descent of Magellan oa one of their
islands. At first they believed it was eome kind
of an animal, that fixed to and fed upon wood.—
The inhabitants of the Phillipine and Canary Islands were formerly equally ignoraut. Africa presents, even in our own day, some nations ia this
deplorable state.
Auctic PiiA-TSS.—Bills of fare vary much, even
in Greenland. I have inquired of Peterson, and
he tells me that the Greenland Esquimaux ( there
are many Grcenlanders of Danish origin ) aro not
agreed as to which of their animals afford the most
delicious food; some of them prefer reindeer venison; others think more favorably of young dog the
flesh of whicb, he assertSj is';just like the beef of
sheep." He said a Danish captain, who had acquired the taste, piovided some for his guests, aud

Antidote por tub Poison Oak.—The San Mateo
Gazette publishes the following valuable information. Persons going on picnic excursions would
do well to heed the facts appended. The Gazette
aays: The effects of contact with the poison oak
has long been a terror to our people, and we bavo
coiiieijuently taken some pains to learn if a speedy
and easily accessible antidote existed. Laat week
our search was rewarded by the information thai
almost invariably near the oak vino so much
dreaded, may be found a plant, the leaves of
whicli, simply rubbed upon tbe parts affected by
the poison, will Immediately remove all irritation
and injurious effects. This plant is called ''wild
wormwood,'' but for thc belter information of
those who do not kuow it by this name, we will
describe it. It grows about two feet high ; its aroma somewhat re^embk-3 that ol wild mint ; its
leaf is about four inches long, is narrow, and forked. The color of the leaf is a dark preen on the
upper surface, and underneath is whitish. When
the wormwood is not applied to the affected part
immediately alter contact with tbe poison oak it
will be necessary to make a strong decoction and
apply with cloths. This wo Congkder a very important piece of Information, and we hope by thus
giving it publicity, ly do a service (o many who
may hereafter be ibrealanad with serlotfs injury by
contact witli :he dreaded poison oak.
