Tne Absent Dog irom rlic, Fight.
Vou may brag of your under and upper does,
As long as they bark or bite,
And command the ean tion of outside dogs,
That, hover around the fight ;
■Birt the luckiest dog, I am bound to swear,
Was the little lame pup that wasn't there.
The noise of the yelling he hears from afar,
And wishes he might "go in,"
But, sigh-i as he buries his nose in the straw,
Knowing.he could'nt win;
For little lame pups are always outlawed,
And in such sort of fights get  terribly "chawed."
His straw is clean and his kennel warm,
And the sun is ia front of the door;
He has gnawed on the nicest chicken bones,
Till naught can he gnaw any mure ;
Yet I haven't a doubt that the pup it he might.
Would immediately mix iu that murderous light.
And lucky it is for that small dog,
That perforce bi cannot mix
In the melee of barfts and yelps and bites,
And chokes and stones and kicks ;
He saves uis honor and saves his bide.
"Which, he would'ut do if he wasn't lied.
He dozes by day in the cool clean straw,
And soundly sleeps of nights,
Without a myriad of gnats and dies
To pester his sores and bites ;
But in peace and quiet digests his prog—
Tbis very fortunate absent dog !

Los Angeles, January 15, 1859. 10m
Taking out  llie   Polaoit.
A bee, while lay sleeping young Dolly,
Mistook her red lips lor the rose ;
Their honey to seek were no folly,
JNo flower so sweet ever blows.
It tickled, and waked her, when clapping
Her hand on the impudent bee,
It stung her ; and Dolly caught napping,
Came crying and pouting to me.
Said sho, "Take the sting out. I pray you."
What way I was puzzled to 'ry ;
And a frilling wager I'd lay you,
You'd have beeu as much puzzled as I.
I'd heard about sucking out poison—
A sting is a poisonous dart—
So I kissed her—the act was no wise one,
The sting found its way to my heart.
A VI .at to Rctbln&oil   Crusoe's   Island.
While ou board the ship Golden Rocket, lying
at Greenwich Dock, we were permitted by Capt.
C. N. Pendleton to examine his log book, in which
he gives an account of his visit to the Inland of
Juan Fernandez (Robinson Crusoe's Island.) The
ship was ou her last passage to this port from Bos
ton, aud had on board fifty-five passengers (twen
ty-five of whom were ladies,) who intend to make
California their future place of residence. Get.
ting short of water Captain Pendletou decided to
stop at Juan Fernandez for a further supply, and
therefore shaped his course thither—the island
being nearly in his track. At six r. m., on the
evening of the 24th of March, they doubled the
eastern end of the island, and at seven rounded to
off the bay of St. Joseph, at the head of which the
fow inhabitants now remaining ou the Island are
located. The facilities for loading water at the
Island Captain Peudleton represents to be not very
good. The casks mast be taken onshore and filled,
rolled back into the water and parbuckled into
the boat. While the crew were at this work, the
passengers rambled oil in different directions to
make discoveries. The inland is twenty-five miles
long by about lour in breadth. The land is very
high, rising in rugged, precipitous peaks—one ol
them called TiinKque, 3 500 feet above lhe level
of the sea. The peaks are generally overhung
with clouds, The valleys are exceedingly fertile,
the grass growing lo the haight of six or eight
feet. Figs, strawberries, peaches, and cherries
abound in their season. The Golden Rocket was
there iu the season of peaches, and the v.lleysand
hill sides were full of trees, loaded down wiib delicious fruit. Capt. Pt-ndleton bought four barrels
of the inhabitants, and tbe passengers bought as
many more. Strawberries flourish best in December aud January. There are ihree remarkable
caves in the sides of tbe hill facing the harbor
about 20 feet iu length, 2G iu width, aud about the
same In height. The inhabitants now number but
14. of whom Messrs. Day and Kirkaldie, from
Valparaiso, are the chief pemus ; they have been
app inted overseers of the island bv the Chilian
Government. Formerly a penal colony, numbering 500, was located here, and the caves above
mentioned were used by them, but the proj-ct was
found to be impracticable, and the convicts were
taken back to the mainland. Tbe Golden Rocket
aichored on the opposite side from that upon
which Selkirk lived, and there being a mountain
to cross to reach the Robinson Crusoe abode, no
one ventured to make the journey. The best
landing is on the eastern side, but the water is 20
fathoms deep at the head ol the bay, and in some
places so bold is tbe shore, that a biat tied by the
painter and drifting to its limits would be in 75
fathoms. An immense number of goats are run
ning wild over the island, and an abundance of
fish ure taken ou every coast. The water is obtained from a number of never failing rivulets
trickling down over the rocks Irom the cloud-
cepped mountains.—S. F. Times.

by his "Europe; a Geographic .Historic Statistical Picture," which sustained and e\ en milled tn

A Sueeeasiul Trick.
A young and skillful disciple of Robert Houden,
'as some tune ago traveling in tfie northern pfi'o-
vinces of France, giving exhibitions in natural
magic, in company with a young wag. now direc-
t-ir of a priming establishment in Paris. 11 their
wanderings they arrived at the town of R—.
more renowned lor its Manufactures than for the
brilliancy of its inhabitants. Here the receipis of
the magician were absolutely nothing, and despair reigned in the hearts ol the tA'o adventurers.
What was to ho done}
"By my lailh," exc aimed the assistant magician, "it will never do to say tliat we did not make
our expenses. I have it! Let me write a posterior oue more entertainment, and if the ai traction
don't answer call me no assistautfor a high priest
of diablerie.-''
''At the Urgent request of the large and intelligent audiences of  our former eutertainmenls, we
have consented to perform the astounding leat  of
making the cathedral bell ring any hour indicated
by any oi tbe audience.    To take place Ihis even--
ing."
"There, how will lhat do?''
"But how will you fulfillthe promise?"
"Uh, never mind.   Am not I a worthy pupil ol
a ski Iful master.    Leave that to me.''
Night came and with it a crowd of the curious.
Ali went oli wuli, and now came the feature ot the
evenmg. Any one was at-ked to name a uuuiber.
"Four!" came Irom the oiowd.
In lear and trembling the mighty magician extended his hands toward tbe cathedral, when one 1
iwo! three! four! boomed slowly Iroin the cupola. The cold perspiration started to the exhibitor's brow, aud ihe audience ghouied with deli
and surprise.
Bucoiel encore!" resounded from all parts pi
the room     Again ! what was to be doue?    But
voice from behind the curtain said,
'•'Go ahead, old boy ; it-'s all right 1"
With a sigh of relief, the exhibitor repeated the
miracle agaiu and again ; and the spectators departed fllled with enthusiasm.
"What in the name of wonder have you been
doing?" exclaimed the puzzled principal lo his
laugh ng assistant, as soon as bed lors weredosed.
''Why, I gave the bell ringer five francs to stay
in the belfry and ring as many limes as I placed
candles in the window, and I ihi..k it succeeded
pretty well." '*N"eit cepasf' replied the other,
ihaking his well filled cash box.
The hext day, as they were starting in the cars,
one of the old city councillors came to them, and
begged lhat they would explain the miracle.
"It is magnetism, my friend." said the magician.
Aith a grand flourish of his bunds ; and ihe irag-
strate departed, much edified and perfectly satis-
lied.

steaming springs exist, and so loud   is the sound
produced by the escape ofthe steam, that it is impossible to dist nguish tne voice of a man ten fet't

Near the little town of P , in the southern
part of this golden State, reside two'families belonging to the first circle of the aristocratic village. There is no time, from which with certainty. I can date the commencement of the intimacy
which existed between these neighbors. Tbeir
estatts adjoining, scarcely a day closed but had
witne-^ed the exchange of s-oine kindness and hospitality, proving the existence of that barinoniou:
social feeling, so highly prized by the more beuev-
oletit portion ot mankind.

niirers thiin the enchanting heroine of tbis little

and rarely beautiful.
Who could see those bewitching lips and not
fee! a sir ng temptation to quaff the nectar therefrom? Who could garie into tlie depths of those
cerulean eyes and not feel that the soul, whose
portals they were, was pure and guileless as the

man oi rare endowments, upright,- honorable, oi
noble traits ol character, and a warm impulsive
disposition.

prepared himself for the legal profession, been
admitted to the bar, and at the tim-1 the story opens
had received a very flattering reception from lhe
older disciples of Themis.

been betrothed; and it was the dearest wish ol
their parents to unite their families aod estates in
this manner, before their departure for spiriiland
The ouly children, last of their respective names,
and the position of Ihe families being equal, no
objection could be urged bv the most fastidious
and exacting friend. So it was arranged lhat on
the morointr of Julia's eighteenth birthday, she
should beiOtne the willing, happy bride Of Arthur
Carlton.
With what joyotis anticipations did these two
lond hearts look foi"tTnrd to llie time when hand
in hand they should commence the journey of life,
Happy creatures! As ihy morning oi'lile dawns
eveu so may tbe twilight close, bright, clear and
free from sorrow.
CHAPTER II.
"The course of true love never did run smooth,"
Ro said one who is celebrated as tbe Blaster por
trayer of the human pussions. A dark day dawned
for our young friends, Mr. Hale, a character 1
have so far treated with inexcusable indifference,
was a man of arrogant disposition, deeming the
most profound respect his deserts trom all grade*,
and enacting lhat deference from his friends, tliat
a ruler may demand from his suljecls. JNevej-
b fving met on antagonistic opinions, no cause lor
disagreement bad ever occurred betweeu the families, until a difficulty in the collecting of rents,
induced Mr. Hale to institute a suit agaiust his
tenant, and Arthur was employed in the defence.
It was a disagreeable task lor the young lawyer
to be engaged in the defence of a man defrauding
bis neighbor ; but the mere discharge of his duty
he deemed sufficient excuse, and fear-d no breach
in the long established triendship. In his desire
todo that which he conceived incumbent upon
him, in tbe defenee ot his client, he represented
Mr Hale as "a most oppressive, tyrannical land
lord, the veriest Shylock in exist nee." This lasl
was too much for the old gentleman's powers ol
endurance. "No man with . the dignity of a gen
lleman could suffer it too pass unheeded, no matter from whom it proceed d IL'teater the terms
of neighborly love on which for years they hail
lived, must cease. 'The pipe of tpeace' be smoked
no more. Those who were as members of lhe same
family, must meet as strangers." Jul a was forbidden ever to- mention the name of Arthur Carlton. Iu vain pleaded the mother lor the happiness
of their daughter; in vain ren inded b.r husband

fn a short time must stand before their Maker, Who
then would '* loie. honor aud cherish." as he who
had lived but for her. Deaf was the ear ou which
tell tluse pleadings.
Julia heard her father's command wilh much

Would relent and crown their joy with a parent's

to sf lengthen Mr. II. in his determination lhat they
should meet no more, and summoning Julia, be

well might you bid tbe sun cease its light, as tint
young heart to forget one whose being is as her
own, Obeyshe must, Leave the home madedear
by all ihe associations of early childhood, and Arthur, her playmate. She could not leave him
without a parting word, she would write a short
note informing him of her departure, and beg to
be forgotten. 'T's answered, What! fly with hin.,
elope! Julia Hale elope! No, no. this must not be,
and yet had she not lieen tangbt, to i egard him as

Or German citizens have lately celebrated the
centennial anniversary of a great man—one of
thorfe who has shed luster upon his country and
fendeied most e.'s.-ntial services lo the literature
and refinement of all others. John Christopher
Frederic Von Schiller was born On the 101b day
of November. 1759, at Marback. a town of Wur-
tcmberg. o'u the Necar. His father was first a
surgeon in the army, but afterwards became a
Captain and was finally made Superintendent of
a nursery of Irees attached fo Ibe cat-tie of the
Duke of Wnrtemhtirg. His paruats were distinguished for their un Ostentations piety, und the
early education of Schiller was deeply tinctured
with the sublime truths and grand poesy ol the
Bible. The visions ol lizekiel particularly affected his imagination and contributed in no small degree to cultivate that pnetic genius for which he
hecaine so celebrated. Hib inclinations were long
balanced bcUveeh pulpit and dramatic literature.
At that time Charles, Duke of Wurleinberg, established a school on a military monastic plan,
and pnipsed to take young Schiller as a pupil in the
school, to which his father could nol object.—
There lies udi-'d jurisprudence, and was entirely
eluded from the world, being permitted to See no1
females except his mother. The plan ol the Pchool
was afterwards extended, and Schiller commenced
the studies ol medicine and Latin with remarkable eagerness and zeal, His teachers did not consider bim possessed oi extraordinary talents, but
lhe Duke used-to say:—^-'Let that boy alone—he
will come to i-ouielhing;" and the result has justi-
fi d his appreciation.- At BiSteen years of age,
Schiller published a translation of part ol'Virgil'a
Aimed j and \hj stealth for poetry was not allowed to be read in the school) he gol hold ol tbo'
works of K'onstoek, Gersteuberg. Gothe and Leasing. The reading ol Sbakspeare,- tbe immortal
English bard rekiodb'd in bim a pas-don for the
drama, and he attempted two dramatic compositions, but subsequently burned them, with the exception of a lew passages in one, which he retained in "The Robbers."
At the age of seventeen he commenced to write
his "Robbers," an extraordinary composition for
so young an author—full of fault*, but also pregnant witb interest and many striking beauties.—•
