Si. Clement's Eve.
THH   CHARM OP   IMPERFECTION.
There is a power in beauty which subdues
All accidents of Nature Lo itself.
Aurora comes in clouds, and yet the cloud
Dims not, but decks her beauty.   'Furthermore
Whate'er shall single out a personal self
Takes with a subtler magic.   So of shape ;
Perfect proportion, like unclouded light,
Is but a faultless model;   small defect
Conjoint with excellence, more moves and wins,
Making the heavenly human.
A LUSATTC'S FA^CT.
Once I thought my body-was a church,
My head the belfr> ; and you'd scarce believe
What clangor and what swinging to and fro
Went on, and how the belfry rocked and reeled,
Till Death, tlie knock-need laggard, came to church
Then all was peace.
■    THB    CKI3DUL1TY OF WISDOM.
"\Vi:;dom errs
la nought more oft than putting easy trust
In tales when things are dark.   For man is loth
In argument where grounded thought is none
And yet the theme solicitous, to fold
The wings of thought aud drop its lid and owu
That in a night of knowledge to roost and sleep
I. judgment's so." sagacity.
MORALIZING OP ORIS-NEZ THE  FOOL.
Knowest thou not, Sir Pool my brother,
One dirty hand can wash another ■
Oft times olfenceB that are" twins
Shalt suffer less tbi.u single'sins ; .
Stern forfeits tread upon his kibe
Who hath not robbed enough to bribe ;
To (Hs-tanee justice in the course
Who steals a purse should steal a horse ;
Not hardly the offender fares
When Accusation goes shares ;
Receive thou, then, dear brother Fool,
Monition wise from Folly's School,
To kisn a Nun nor fear the worst
Thou should'st have kissed the Abbess first.
Intant Phenomena.—You still see. here and
there, idiotic parents striving to make infant phenomena of their children; and recording with much
pride how their children could read and write at an
unnaturally early age. Such parents are fools ; not
certainly malicious fools, but fools beyond question-
The great use to which the first six or seven years
of life should be given, is the laying the foundation
of a healthful constitution in body andmind;«nd
tho instilling of those fiL':::t principles of duty and religion which do not need to be" taught out of books.
Even if you do not permanently injure the young
brain and mind prematurely overtasking them; even
if you do not permanently "blight the bodily heal thi
aud break the minds cheerful soring, you gain nothing. Your child at 14 years old is not a hit further
advanced in his education than a child who began
his years after him ; and the entire result of your
stupid driving has beeu to overcloud some days
which should have been among the happiest of his
life. Tt is a woful sight to me to see the little forehead corrugated with mental effort, though the effort
be to do no more than master the multiplication
table; it was a sad story I heard of a little boy repeating his latin lesson over aud again in the delirium ofthe fever of which he died, and saying piteo-
ously that indeed he could not do it better.—Fra-

Tobacco EsciTsaSMl in Costba Costa.—A successful experiment has been made this season in our
county in the cultivation of tobacco by Messrs.
Stout and Pcden, cf San Ramon Valley. They have
planted about twelve acres, and the tobacco has
come up beautifully and matured thoroughly. It is
now fully ripe, and will be cut next week. Good
judges estimato the average product as certainly
not less than bve hundred pounds per acre, ami
probably more. The sorts that have turned out
best, we are told, aro the Long (been and the
Maryland Straight tobacco. This experiment demonstrates the capacity and the adaptability of our
soil aud climate to the rearing of this plant. There
can be no longer any doubt on the subject. The
matter is tested and lairly proven. Quite an ex
citement has been created in the neighborhood o'
Alamo and Danville, among the farmers, we understand, owing to tho success of this new experiment.
From what we hear, we should not bo surprised if
very large crops should be raided next year in tha1
locality.— Contra Costa Gazette,
CARE.
Care is like a husbandman
Who doth guard our treasures,
And the while, all ways he can,
Spoils our harmless pleasures.
Loving hearts and laughing brows
Most he seeks to plunder ;
And each furrow that he plows,
Turns the roses under.

Till then, Thou, Father, will our spirits keep.

The Boston Traveller publishes as an on dit tha
certain parties have gono to Mount Ararat to find
the remnants of Noah's Ark, and sell them to the
Unit lid states Government for transport service, at
a profit of five thousand percent. The Ark could be
laden with shoddy, with shoes as soleless as their
makers and with Belgian muskets, warranted to be
harmful only to those using them—and so the cargo
and tho craft would be matched, and when sunk the
loss would be a gain.
In the Polytechnic School of Paris. It was found
that the habitual tobacco-smokers were far below
others iu the competitive examinations. Tobacco-
smokers, Hkc opium takers, become lazy and stupid ; but they have not the vices of gin-drinkers-
As to the effect of tobacco upon the organization
generally, I am inclined to think that it is more
deleterious than opium, and more productiv
disease when the use of it is carried into excess.—

It appears that wives were even more expensive

It is stated that Sir Joseph Paxton is about to

An ecclesiastic asked Garrick how it was that

In chemistry, the best way to separate two

Brigham Young has sent oue of his sons to

" Children ," said a considerate matron to her

Chinese Etiquette.— As samples of Chinese etiquette, the following will be edifyiDg to the reader. A polite Chinese, desiring to ask a stranger
his name, inquires—"What is your honorable
name?" To which the answer is—-'My ignoble
name is Smith, or King," as tbe fact may be.
Inquiring for his .residence, he asks-—" Where is
your stately mansion-V7- • Answer—'-My miserable hovel is on the bank of the river,"
If he inquires after the number of his eons,
(daughters are never Inquired after.) it is asked—
"What is the number of your princely sons ?"
Answer—"The eumber of my trifling puppies
is one, two, three, four," as the case may be.
But a harder question still to answer is—" How
is your accomplished lady ?"
Answer—"My stujnd thornbush is so and so,"
A Frenchwoman named Uuet, who has reached
the extraordinary age of 186 years, was recently
much improved in health by getting knocked
down by a cart in the streets of Paris. Whereas
she was previously quite weak: and infirm, the
strong nervous shock has so revived her faculties
that she is now exceedingly vigorous, and, as one
of the French papers says "it is thought that she
may yet live a long while." She followed most
of the campaigns of the first Napoleon as a vivan-
die re.
Mr. Gregory, the explorer of Northwestern Australia, has visited Melbourne, with several new
-plants and objects of interest which he has discovered. One is a new species of gourd, found at
Nickleby, in latitude 20° S., longitude 117° E.;
also a plaut believed to be entirely new, the frnit
of which, when fresh gathered, has a strong odor
resembling that of garlic ; likewise a new species
of palm, some kiuds of beans, and several handsome pearls.
Discovery Is Locomotion,—A new discovery iu
locomotion has been made in France, and it is con.
sidered to be of so much importance that a commission has beeu appointed by the Emperor to examine and report upon it, M. Girard has constructed the model of a railway adapted for runners like those of a sledge. The runners move in
a soit of clog ; between this aud the rails wator it
introduced, and thus almost all friction is avoided.
Should thia piau prove successful on a large scale,
much wear and tear, uot only of the carriages, but
of the passengers' nerves, will be saved. How delightful it will be to slide smoothly over a aurle.ee
of water, instead of having one's bones dislocated
by being rattled over uneven rails, aud one's head
stupefied by the perpetual clatter.
Theology am) Thirst.—It is a current story in
Teviotdale, [Scotland,] that iu the house of au an"
cieut family of distinction^ much addicted to the
Presbyterian cause, a bible was always put into
the sleeping apartment ol the guests, along with a
bottle of strong aie. On oue occasion, there was
a meeting of clergymen in the vicinity of the
castle, all of whom were invited to dinner by the
worthy baronet, and several abode all night. According to the fasion of the times, Bcveu of the
revereud guests were allotted to oue large barrack
room, which was used ou such occasious of extended hospitality. The battler took care that the
divines were presented, according to custom, each
with a bible aud a bottle of ale. But after a little
consultation among themselves, they are said to
have recalled the domestic as he was leaving the
apartment. "My friend*," said one of the venerable guests, "you must know, when we luuet
together as brethren, the youngest minister rends
aloud a portion of Scripture to the rest; only on,1
bible is, therefore, necessary ; take away the other
six, and in their places bring six more bottles of
ale."	
Oh! marry the man you love, girls, if you can
get him at all; if he is as rich as IfcflttiiB, ot as
poor as Job in his fall. Do net many tor self,
girls— twill bring your soul into thrall; but umrry
the man you love, girls if his purse is ev^r Be
small. Oh! never m.ury a lop, girls, whether he
he little or tall; he'll make a fool of himself and
you, he knowe nothing well'but to drawl. But
marry a Sober man, girls, there are few left on this
ball; and you'll uever rue the day that you ever
•named at all.

Knights oy the Golden Circle.—
Take a map of the western hemisphere,
and find trie Island of Cuba; place one
leg of a pair of (Sht«dera ia the center
of the Island, extend the other to tho
36thpamUei of nojrthlatitude, and sweep
a circle. You will then remark that
the circumference thus dr'iwn. will include the slave territory of tlie United
States, a portion of Mexico and California, Central America, all the West India
Islands, the Isthmus of Panama, and a
portion of South America, together with
the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean
Sea. A single glance and a moment's
reflection will convince the examiner
that the territory, and waters included,
would form one of the richest and most
commanding empires on tho earth.
This, reader, ia what is meant by the
•'Golden Circle." To possess this prodigiously fertile and commercially im-
portaht territory, and establish therein
a groat Slave Empire, was the purpose
of the Knights of the Golden Circle,
of Whom you have read in newspapers.

A chap who procured some whisky
of an army sutler, in which to preserve

little snake, who was its first victim.

Swift called dancing '-voluntary madness." The Chinese seem to think it
useless fatigue; for when Commodore
Anson was at Canton, tho owners of
the Centurion had a ball upon some
court holiday, and while they were dancing, a Chinese who surveyed the operation, sa^l softly to oue of the party,
"Why don't you let your servants.do

"The Heavks bobn- Statesman".—In a review
of Earl Stanhope's Life of Pitt, the London Times
says
Pitt's iunocency was seen In a good number of
things. " lie is the most forgiving and easy-tempered ol men," says Lord Malmoshury, " lie ia
the most uptight political character I ever kuew
or heard of," says Wilberforco. " I never once
saw him out of temper," says George Rose, Ouo
day when the conversation turned upou the quality
most needed in a Prime Minister, and one said
"Eloquence," another '■ Knowledge, ■' and a third
" Toil," Pitt Stiid "No, Patience." It^vas an answer worthy of the great statesman, aud recalls
that of Newton, who said that he owed his splendid discoveries to the power of fixed attention.—
Pitt was wonderfully patient, and this which is com-
uioiily regarded as a slow virtue he combined with
uncommon readinewaand rapidity ol thought. "What
an extraordinary man Pitt ia," said Adam Smith *
" he makes me understand my own ideas better than
before." This was the lieaveu-born minister. This
was '■ the pilot to weather the storm." This is ho
who stands forth the greatest of our statesmen, and
the story of whose life, now fitly told, will havo

Neither during the dinner nor in thedrnwiug-rooiu
afterwards was the conversation animated or inter"
cstiug. Political subjects were entirely avoided ;
wc sat around a circular table, before the Queen,
who waa on a sofa ; two or three of her ladles were
endeavoring to work ; Prince Albert played at
chess; Lady Palmerston audi, with some effort,

has studied thediffurent pheaomena which are produced in n cup of OeSse when the sugar is put
into it, and the result of thoBe observations trans -

globules form a frothy mass, remaining in the
centre of the cup. it is an indication of duration
of flue weather; if, on the contrary, the froth
forms a ring round the sides of tbts cup, it is a
sign of heavy rain ; variable weather is implied
by the froth remaining stationary, but not esactly
in the centre."
