TO   AN   AUSENT   WiPE.
BY O. D. J'KEXTICE.
Tla Morn— the sea breeze seems In bring
Joy. health, and freshness on its wing ;
Bright flowers, to ire all strange and new;
Arc Ll.ttering in tbe early dew,
And perfumes rise from every grove,
A* incense to the clouds that move
Lik? spirits o'er yon welkin clear ;
But 1 aua Bad—thou art uot herd
'Tis N'oon—« calm, unbroken sleep
Is on the blue wave of the deep ;
A soft base, like a fairy dream.
Is tl rating ov< r wood and stream,
And many a broad, magnolia iiower,
Within its shadow; woo.(laud bower,
ts gleaming lik*- n lonely star,
But I n-a .-» 1—thou art alar !
'Tis Eve—on earth the sunset skies
Are printing their own Eden jys ;
Tbe stars came down and trembling glow ;
Like blossoms on the wave below,
And liktf *ii  unseen spirit the breeze
Seems lingering 'mid the orange tre»»;
Breathing Its music round tho sp«l;
But I nui snd—1 nee ihce not !
Tls Midnifjlit — with a coothintr Sfejllj
The far-of" ton'* nf ocean swell—
Soft as t; e mother cadence mild.
Low bending o'er h-r sleeping child ;
And OO each wandering breeds are beard
The rich notes of the mocking bird,
In ma, iv ... wild and wondrous lay;
But I am sad—thou art away!
I sink in dream-"—low, sweet anil c>»r,
Thy own de;*r voice is in mine enr ;
Around my neck thy tresses twine,
Thy own loved hand is clasped in *!»e;
Thy own soft lln to mine is pressed,
Thy head is pillowed on  my braaft,
Oli, I hare all my heart holds dear,
And 1 am happy, tVai nr! li'T* !

Tnore ia so one subject ot n ore murnen   lo the
otticen of California, none so intimately con-
aect^ wiib the pbysloal comforts nf Home and
the  embellishments of tbat ppot,, where earth's
greatest happine-^ ia sought, than th* subject
which stands at the bead of this article. Con**
tr«<t the eomfort ami pleasure enjoyed by any
two familh'H, Mys the California Farmer, whose,
home* elmll be an   we shall una- describe.
Tbe first shall be a n<>at and pretty cottage,
mrrourided srlth itc enclosed garden in blah cultivation, (his mirrounded wilh tine Shade1 Trees
ot ftmercms kinds, of every form of beauty and
variety of foliage, off-ring a pleasant shelter from
Bummer's sultry heat. Enter this garden of flow-
Stt, inhale thu fragrance of Its thousand blossoms,
each in it*i freshness; these brieht genu also sheltered heneath the ire flag branches of tht- pleasing
shade of which we bave spokeo—1(0 »it'tin; anfl
thif'i, %»>o. behold neatness aod taste; no^andy
aanw. but all in heeplng wl'h the b*«uty and
ta-ite without. Sen I out ile the op«« lattice yonr
friends sitting with books or work—no hsaisd a'r,
n» dusty fortrituia, no Bashed countenances or fe-
rered pension, besraJHng thssoHr? clime—but all
i« peace and ^ulet happiness; Ibis is a BEome, end
here «ne lieea ia dwelt; atl ia ia keeptffg--the
place, the spaaon, the pecuniary meana, taate, Intellect, comfort, p!*ace, ostare, •!! bespesl a rural
happy Home. \ow j?o wth ta". to yonder t»*»i-
sioa—it U a stately massive pile—it* tofde portico, tta graofte columo*. are eeideaaes of architectural beauty ; enel *wjb with its lefty wa!N of
brick wilh open l**n. fhoan «tfenf Tb »nd wwftb.
and taste ; the noon-di<y HLin poors d.wn its buru-
tnu; reya upon yon a*, yon seait to enter; like
fimt great peiaenthonae, rta dooTn and wlndewa
»' e el wed to bar the li«"ht and heat—ton enter.
The. gorge US fimitnre nay dacnle 1» its heauty,
but while ecu larrT ycu feel the cold sdvjfptfcm ot
fermaliiy. ymi breathe the ^titled air, the. oppressive heat, the derk aid gloomy apartments acl
upt»t your feelings, and you wish to breathe once
more the open air—but an you leave this gorge-
oua pile, you wonder that a portion of the asejeen
show within was not expended to gite th:s costly
structure a shelter and a Bhade— and plant sweet
flowers where bees tud birds wonld c«me, Tar
better than to r»«ke a mere parade, without the
p'.'ace emi comforts of a Korne.
Whieh of these pictures would tau chooft, dear
reader? We think that •(■..pie.'beautiful quiet
cottage home will be vonr choice : you base tfce
flotrers around the oottagn, you love those frees,
and you love to »'t bvmeath their cooling si.de.
and fael yoa.areat hom«; and would eon plant
•round your ft. me those treea that shall even be
mure be*iit.ifni than that imarinarf one. L-t u«
any, a« 1 bear yon a-V. what tr^es •h.M I p'.,*!
There U always a beautiful harmony in all ot v«-
ture'l work", and tboM wbo seek thu b'titifnl
must obey her bws.

"It ia now more tbaa a moon ago that two citi-
eens of this region- old, vol shnpll B»n -who bad
long livdil on (tdjotalog'^jriats^iB.lTjrflflol two
s"vct-;ii families, met together for the pnrposa of ;■.

BeveraJ Euodred miles a two-wheft*d ox-cart and a
solitary yoke oi' bullocks, in ijrt^t of dreamlaod,
tbey had dctennined upon migiMting, ono lo Alabama,   i!-e   other   td Texas!     OfWUrSe,   ihen.  ih.;
meeting was an affecting bus, invested with Sill tfte
a LawnHy of m efisraol Bevetajao)e.   Wo shall call
one Dick and tlm oilier Obedir.li. merely for tlie
saka of distinction, ind [tot desiring Lo toake public their name?.
After some random conversation, Dick polled
out Iiis knife, opened it, and commenced hid'-siri
ously whittling as preliminary to A saggastioo of
unusual gravity. It waa a large, roind. venerable
log upon which they were Pealed—Dick at one
end and Obediah at the other—1 in juxtaposition,'
as Governor Foote would say. Obediah noticed
the gesticulatory movement, and pricked bis ears
for the ingress of something pathetic. At last
Dick, after reducing the timber to a little hill'ocl;
ol" chip=. remarked to Obediah that tic had something of a very delicate nature to talk about.
"Go ahead !■•' said Obediah, witbaa.eicourag-
ing earnestness.
And thus Dick commenced :—'• You know, Ob,
that me and my wife bev got to gitiin' d< ing very
badly. Sal, sura how or other, kinder slants from
me of late days. And I thought, as I was gwine
io Taxas aad yon to Yallabam, that I would offer
to swap you my tigc for yours. But see here. Ob ;
I I-urorvl give boot!"
After a pan.-:e, in which many a thought passed
rapidly Through the mind of Obediah', he answerer?:
"Well, DJck, IdcVt know but what I'll do it.
But you see, now, my 2'tll ir, purtier than your
Sal; and ym know s-he is a -yoaoger criCer b-y
twelve long years. Now, Dick, yld fellow, how-
would you like to trade a young and Jikely filly
for an old broken-winded and homely lior.se, and
get no boot?"
The argument was a clincher; and Dick,
though reluctant to acknowledge it, manifestly
felt its force. After much (urther parleying, it
wps agreed"between t&e faithless Benedicts, that
Dick should take Obediah's v.iie, and Obediah
Dick's, upon the.se conditous: that the former
should give the latter, in the way of boot, a coze-
and calf, two goats, an old shot gun and an ox
bell :

The reppective children of the two mothers remained with their respective fathers, and thus were favored with the peculiar .elation, a step-motherly
process of swapping,
'i'ii!;: statement is substantially true, the incidents having actually occurred as above related.
It may be, however, that, so far as the wives arc
concerned, the swap was-more formal than astual;
that,in brief, the cow, calf, goats, shot-gun, and
ox-bell were a 'dead loss' on tha part of Dick, and
but fair tribute to mercenary Obediah.

Be Gat.—A little mirth mixes well and profitably wiib both business and philanthropy. How
stupid life, both hi labor ana leisure, would be
without that gayety within us which responds to
the cheerfulness and beauty around us ! Nay, its
main I'urrenls run all the deeper, as wall as fresher
and purer, for fhe light rills that laughter and
flashing flow into them. The rivers would stagnate into pools if Ihe rivulets ceased their phiy.
Philosophers and, men pffensioeSB save their souls
alive, and keep their intellects fresh and heallhyi
by mingling tho inirfhl'nlness of youlh with (he
soberness ofage ; and even fun and philanthropy
are often found ia the game character.—N. K

Man is at last eatiefjed with overytlibg but
never with a littie.
An eccentric Parisian lias visited tlie Exhibition
every day since its opening, but it was neither fo
inspect flie marvels displayed there, nor to amuse
himself with the odd remarks which these marvels
often call forth from the crowd.' Le 'is a dandy
of Ihirfy-live years, very well known by aU khe
loungers uf the Boulevard deb Uiliens, has an income by inheritance of. Kuioo livres, and, having
not Jong to do.'he wishes to if:.rry. One thing
has hitherto deterred him. the-anormoas expense
of a feminine toilet at the present day. Ifbe could
only find a young lady widest in her tastes. wLo
could resist the ruinous temptation of dress! But
how could he discover such an oue, if such an one
existed ?
Tiie Indnsd'Ial Exhibition seemed a good q>
porfunily, and our bachelor stationed himself
every day, for (his purpose, beside £ he glass outs
which contain the sparkling jewels, or Ihe uej-.irt-
ment of Cashmeres, or where the delicate laces
and lustrous silks display all llnir ma£nlfloenoa.
Tlieyoung people,Who did not fancy themselves
watched, expressed their opinion and wishes verv
fra kly.
What magnificent diamonds! How I wish
tLey were mine !
Just look at that Casfimerel I wonder if I
shall have oue like it-when I am married ?
Sueh or similar were the exclamiifiuns of crowds
of damsels who daily passed bis post of observation, and lie returned Imme every evening in n
melancholy mood, saying lo himself:—
" They are ail alike ; I shall have to remain a
bachelor." •
One sad truth, brcame each day more mid more
evident, fti lbe times in which ive live, fa Paris,
an honest man who 1ms only an income often
thousand livres is nol rich enough fo marry; he
must choose between celibacy and ruin.
But lie was -wrong in   t&dudln-g  all tlu* young
girls In his sentence uf condemnation.   There are
exceptions—at least there was one.
After three months of these disheartening trials,
our disconsolate bachelor saw one day i: young girl
