And where nre lienrts so mm Md trno

SinceUrt, with spirits wild and free
I pressed mv native striuid,

Which MUgM me how to prize the worth
Ot that where I «as born.

How fondly eneh familiar wold
Awoke au answering tone 1
But when our woodland songs were sung
Upon ft foreign mart.
The vows that faltered on the tongue
With rapture thrilled tbe heart!
My native land,I turn to yon
With blessing nnd with prayer.
Where mau is brsve, and woman true,
And Iree as mountain air.
Long may our flag in triumph wave
Against the world combined,
And-friends a welcome—foes a grave,
Within our borders find.

whole waiting congregation, standing up with the

entitled to that name.   I could stand the scene no

and resolving he should have a good name, as opposite H possible to the diabolical one so strange-
K"elected, I baptized the iufant George Washington.   I thought the parents looked queer   at

But conceive, 11 you can, my confusion when, alter service, the father and mother came into the

"Luthy thir," which I mistook for Lucifer. What

Men rejoice "when the sun ia risen ; they rejoice
when it aoen down ; while they are unconscious
of the decay of their own lives. Men rejoice at
poeioz the face of a new season, ai the arrival ol
oue greatly desired. Nevertheless the revolution
ef the seasoot is tbe decay of human life. *rag-
mentaof drift-wood meeting in the wide ocean,
continue together a little space; thus parents,
wives, childreo, relatives, friends and riches, remain with us but a short time—then separate, and
the separation ia inevitable. No mortal man can
escape the common lot; he who mourna for departed relatives haa no power to make them return. Knowing that the end of life is death,
every right minded man ought to pursue tbat
which ie connected with ultimate bliss.

The End of Romancing—There is a young lady
daughter of a titled English aristocrat living in
Albany, N. Y. She was brought up in luxury,
fell in lo^e with and married her father's groom.
-was turned out of house and home, and obliged to
fly from ber country to avoid her father's ven
geance. She passed through many trials which
rend the heart, in her career from wealth to poverty.   She is a seamstress.
A wag in New York, seeing a man driving a
tack into a card, through the letter ( of tbe word
"Boston," printed ou it, seized the latter and exclaimed : " Why. what are you about 7 Don't you
know that laying tax on tea in Boston once raised a thundering muss there?"
A waggish spendthrift said—"Five yea^s aff0
I was not worth a cent in the world; now see
where I am through my own exertions."- "Well,
where are you ?" " Why, I owe more than three
thousand dollars."
Hobbs. the locksmith, has picked one ofBan-
quo's gory locks; he did it with a pickaxe. He
is now at work on a wed-lock.
THB MILL.
I loved the brimming wave that swam
Through quiet meadows round the mill,
The sleepy pool above the dam,
The pool beneath it never still,
The meal-sacks on tbe whitened floor,
The dark round of the dripping wheel,
The very air about the door
Slade misty by tbe floating meal.

rLEASURES.
But pleasures are like poppies spread ;
You seize the flower—its bloom is shed;
Or like tbe 3uow-falls in the river—
A moment white—then lost forever j
Or like the borealis race,
That flit ere you can point their place;
Or like the Rainbow's lovely form.
Evanishing amid the storm. LBuros.
History vs. Physic.—A good story of Gibbon
ii told in the last volume of Memoirs. The dramatis persona: were Lady Elizabeth Foster, Gibbon, tbe historian, and an eminent French physician, tbe historian and doctor being rivals in
courting the lady's favor. Impatient at Gibbon
occupying so much of her attention by hiB coa-
yersation, the doctor said crossly to him :
"When my lady Elizabeth Foster is made ill
by your twaddle, I will cure her." j
On which Gibbon drawing himself up gradually,
and lookingdisdainfuliy at the physician, replied :
"When my lady Elizabeth Foster is dead from
your receipts, I will immortalize her,"
Quaker Pun.—Nut lone; since, a "Friend" who
rejoiced in the name of Comfort, paid his devoirs
to a young and attractive widow named Rachel
H. Either her griefs were too new. or her lover
too old, or from other eaoseo, bis offer was declined. Whereupon *■* Quaker friend remarked : "That
wasthefiret modern instance be had known, where
Rachel refused to I e Comforted." This anecdote
is remarkable as being tbe lirst Quaker pun on record.
The Emperor of China, instead of paying the
doctor as we do, when we are unwell, that instant
lje is taken ill stops the pity ofhis pbysiciann, and
does not renew it until be is quite welt again.

State Agricultural Fair.
Thib important exhibition1 tooltplacri'in the beginning of this month at San'jW.' The ptepai'a-
tiOhs made for the accomodation of the ptiblirt,
were most ample and satisfactory. The cbntribh-
tiOriH forwarded to the Fair, wei'e almost niimbcr-
lestf, and elicited the astonishment' and delight of
the'spectators that California could ma&e subh a
display.- The products of tiie farni', vineyard, garden arid orchard, were therein profusion, phow'ing
a perfection in the culture, and an adaptability
of oli mate, unknown'to the most experienced' in
these departments.
Dr. Osbiirn. of th'e1 Mission, represented this
county at the Fair, and to him, th'e contributors
from this" district are mainly indebted for the
prominence obtained by their specimens. Without his assistaribe, owing to the great pressure
upon the time arid attention of the officers, many
natters of importance to us would have been Ovcr-
ooked.
"We have inuch pleasure in phblishing the' following communication' froth our much esteemed
friend, a gentleman, by the way, who is ambng
the foremost in our community in enterprise'and
progress :
Sax Francisco, Oct'. 19,1856;-
Editor ofthe Star—Sir :
The steamer Senator will leave here tli is mor'n.
ing, and bear to our Los Angeles full intelligence
of the proceedings at San ,fose during the State
Fair. "Well may we all be proud of Our cou'nty.
This is the first year she has competed at any of
theState Agricultural Fairs, and you will see by
the papers, that our people have taken twenty
premiums, eighteen of them first premiums, and
tbe other two second premiums. The only repre
sentative from our county, Was onr fellow-citizen
Dr. Osburn, of whom, I hear praises from all sides
up here, for his great exertions in bringing contributions from ouf' county forward at the Fair,
and I hope be will be duly appreciated by our
citizens of the county, for his successful endea-
ors in bringing before the proper committees and
visitors, the various products of our county. H'e
has done inore during his short visit, to call the
attention of other portions of our State to Los Angeles county, than all others have hitherto.
I remain, dear sir, yours,

Relative Population and Ages of Great Cif-
ies.—' The taking of the quinquennial census in
Paris bas been terminated, and from this document it appears that the population, including the
soldiers in barracks, the sick.in hospitals, and the
occupants of prisons, exceeds one million two
hundred thousand souls^within tbe octroi walls,
or one million eight hundred thousand within* the
fortifications. This returo still proves the Paris
population less by one half than that of London.'
New York contains a pop*alation about half as
numerous as that of Paris *■ and Paris is about
halfaslaige as Loudon. Paris mast be more
than two thousand years old, for ' it is mentioned
by Cassar, under the name of Lutetia, and it was
then the chief town of the Parisii.' Londofl was
founded about two thousand years ago. but it w
unimportant in size and population np to the
ninth century, since which its increase bas been
very rapid. New York is only about two hundred
years old ;.consequently, its increase is ten fold
greater than Paris, and three times as great
that of London. As commerce aDd civilization
have been setting westward ever ' since tbe world
began,' and tbe union of commerce and fashion
left Athens for Rome, and after many distractions
divided the honors between Paris and Amsterdam
with the latter having finally to yield to London,
so we expect they will be again united as at first,
and they will grace NewYork, as the metro?
of the New World, and as they did Athens and
Rome. But it wi'l take many years oi good government to concentrate in this city all the advantages of commerce and faebion that are now enjoyed by London and Paris. We cannot make a
Paris without parks, nor a London without commercial order.. Paris proper has increased two
hundred' thousand since Louis Napoleon first
Burned sway.
Novel Scexk ik x French Theatre.-—The Paris'
correspondent ofthe New Orleans Picayune, give*
the following account of an amUsing scene which
occurred during the representation of a play recently. The piece was a sU'ce'essfid1 one, and, in'
one of the scenes, lambs played an important part-
To give greater effect the machinist determined to'
procure a train of the genuine'article, instead of
using dumb representaJive?- The animals were
trained fib that they played their part fo a ctfanu
in the rehearsals, and at the first performance
U:ey formed an exquisitely beautiful group around
t:ieir corydon, whom they saluted with tuneful
bleatlngs. The theater shook to itsfouudationn
with loud applause. The applause continued,
and the sheep'becaitie frightened; and popped into the stage boxes, then over' the foot 1'ights into
the'orchestra—andvofcOtt'rse', th'e whole dock followed their leadel-s! Tbe ladies in the boxes
shrieked; the orchestra whooped and halloed to'
prevent the sheep from tumbling on their violins,
