It comes! it comes! the beautiful rain, And the panting fields no more comphiin ; The thirsty ground with right good will Of the crystal drops is quaffing its fill ; And the chary clouds are shy no more. But wide armed sprinkle their jeweled store ; Old mother Earth is glad again. Down, down it comes—the beautiful rain. II. It cornea! it comes! and the dust-clad trees. Fling wide their arms to the welcome breeze ; It cheerily tinkles down the spout, And with merry laugh comes leaping out; And bare headed boys are under the eaves, And birds are drinking from off tho leaves, And the farmer forsakes his loaded wain, To sit and watch the beautiful rain ! Hilt comes! it comes ! and the pining flower, Unfolds its leaves to the welcome shower. It comes, and the swallow baihes his wings ; How glad he is to twitter and sing ! Aad he chatters away to his little ones four, And tells them to look and see it pour ; And they sit and chattel in turn, and fain Would try their wing in the beautiful raiu. IV. It comes! it comes! in gladsome glee, Emblem of truth and purity, It comes ! it comes! with its pattering feet, And treadeth down the dusty street, Itcomes! it comes ! all rainbow laden, To gladden the heart ofyouth and maiden. Ring out the joyous shout again. All praise to Him for the beautiful rain! The Life Clock. FROM THE GERMAN. There is a little mystic clock, No human eye has seen ; That beateth on—-and beateth on, From morning until e'en. And when the soul is wrapped iii sleep, And heareth not a sound, It ticks and ticks the live long night, And never runneth down. O wondrous is the work of art, Which knells the passing hour ; But art ne'er formed, nor mind conceived- The life clock's magic power. Nor set in gold, nor decked with gems, By pride and wealth possessed, But rich or poor, high or low, Each bears it in Mb breast. When life's deep stream 'mid beds of flowers All still and sofily glides, Like the wavelet's step, with a gentle beat It warns of passing tides. When passion nerves the warrior's arm, For deeds of hate and wrong, Though heeded not, the fearful sound, The knell is deep and strong. When eyes to eyes arc gazing soft, Aud tender words are spoken, That fast and wild it rattles on, As with love 'twere broken. Snch is the clock that measures life, Of flesh and spirit blended, And thus 'twill run within the breast, Till that strange life is ended. That they can long remain as they now are, an independent kingdom, we do not believe. The burlesque imitation of European monarchies, tlie tawdry gewgaws surrounding kingly eourts. the rule and continuance of a race, who, however superior they may lcel as islanders, are far beneath the standard of European or American manliness or energy, cannot, we believe, long remain in these islands. The march of the Anglo-Saxon race, which has extended over tho vast continent of North America, must yet reach them, and in the natural course of things, these islands must fall into the hands of either England or the United States. ■In order to complete the cordon of American steam navigation around the globe, we require, and must ere long have a steam communication between California and China. Two years age a bill was introduced into Congress, and we believe passed one bouse, providing for the establishment of a line of mail Bteamers between San Fruncisco and Shaughae. Tt never became a law. however' and since that time, has not, as it should have been, urged by our representatives and si-nators. It must come at some time, however, and as a preparation for it we must have somewhere in the Pacific ocean, a depot for our steam vessels and commercial marine. As the State ot California tills up with people, as the thousands now here swells to millions, the spirit of commercial enterprise will act upon our people, and San Francisco must in the very nature of things, become the great entrepot for the wealth of tlie eastern world. The French and the English governments have well provided themselves with their share of ttie Pacific islands—and those of the Indian Archipelago—and even now a project is on foot by wliicL it is probable that the island of Madagascar will fall into the hands of the former power. Already it is established at the Marquesas. Society Islands aud new Caledonia, and in a few years, unless our government awakens from the lethargy in which eems so long to have been sleeping, we will find that the desideratum, the absolute necessity of the ownership and control over some one or more of thePacitic islands will he denied us. Instead o ('(hiding upon them a government of naked savages, we will be obliged to treat with tbe powers of Europe in case we desire to obtain a foothold among the islands of the Pacific. It is not yet too late. Will our government do something in the matter? The very "balance of power " doctrine ought to incite our government to attempt to keep pace with England and France in these Pacific acquisitions. Our "future commerce will require possessions among them, and it seems strange to us that ire active measures have been taken to secure fbr us a foothold in the Pacific ocean.—Alia.

The Islands of t3te Pacific. From the lovely September day, in the year 1513, whsn Vasco Nunez de Balboa, after a toilsome march of twenty-six days, from a lofty mountain top. gazed with wonder and with awe upon the slumbering Pacific, lying so far beneath him, and influenced by the religious fervor which mingled so strangely with the adventurous spirit of the early Spanish explorers, fell upon his knees and thanked God that he was the first European whose eyes had been permitted to look upon the far off ocean; from that day to the present, the green and lovely islands which gem the Pacific have been the scene of daring enterprise and ad venture, of mutiny and massacre, of proselytism cruelty and intrigue. The Spaniards, the French, the English and the Dutch, made the Pacific for two centuries the field for their roving vessels, and with more or less success, have all made conquests and colonies among its islands. America, \ alone, of all the great nations ofthe world, com-' ing among them, as she did, when the day of discovery was nearly over, has not as yet attained a foothold among these islands of the _ea. It is stated upon good authority, although it has not been made generally public, that in the year 1852, under the administration of Mr. Fillmore, the whele Sandwich Island group was offered to our government, for unconditional annexation, and that the offer was refused. At a later day, when negotiation for such annexation had far advanced, and when, it is said, the necessary documents required but a single signature to render them valid and binding, the death ofthe King, which placed the power in the hands of hie son. who was surr mnded hy influences inimical to our government, suspended, and indeed, finally closed all negotiations, and cut off for the lime, at least, all hope of obtaining a foothold in tbat portion of the Pacific. We should have those islands. To the enterprise of American merchants and ship owners, and to the self sacrificing devotion of American missionaries is due the fact, that these formerly insignificant spots in the ocean have become important points for trade p.nd commerce, and that their inhabitants instead of being to-day in their native savage state, are surrounded i by the comforts of civilized life, and instructed in 1 the saving doctrines of the Christian; religion. The Interior Fouces of tue Earth.—In a paper read before the Scientific Congress, at Albany on the 22d ult,, by Dr. C. F. Winslow. the writer remarked tbat the more the geological observer contemplates the sedimentary strata, the more clearly he must become convinced that the solid crust of the planet is a yielding envelope of no great thickness, overlying a globe subject to dynamical influences of snch vast power, that mountains and continents undulate upou it as fields of ice follow the tidal action ot the sea. The causes and forces of these vast phenomena were considered to be the tension and dynamical agency of the molten and fluid matter in a state of motion underneath. Some think this motion correspond.. with the tides, and'a French savant attributes it to the action of tbe moon. Dr. Winslow attributed it to tlie action of the sun, and supijortefl bis theory on the ground that these phenomena occur more frequently when that body is nearest the earth, as in tbe winter, at which time more volcanic eruptions have occurred than at any other season. We take the following from one of the reports of the association : Mr. Winslow continued his theory on volcanic eruptions, by a paper on volcanoes, commencing with his observations of broken craters ol the Sandwich Island volcanoes. He had seen two craters broken, both on the southern line with couduits as perfect as iron aqueducts leading southwards, until they disappeared through the superincumbent lava. It was generally supposed, from the frequent observation of an eruption at one point on _i volcanic mountain, while another crater, thousands of feet lower, is quiescent, that eruptions were produced by lava forced up from the central fires by conduits nearly perpendicular. His observations had led him to believe that these conduits were more nearly horizontal than perpendicular, aud he attributed earthquakes to the rupture of these conduits. Observers had assured him that at eruptions of Kiiauea lava had been , seeu running in conduits Irom tweuty to forty miles an hour. Mr. Vaughn spoke ofthe westward deflection of lava rising through the earth on account of its less rapid rotation than that of the superior masses through which it was rising. This, it was well known, rendered the western declivity of mountains steeper than the eastern ; he thought it might have some influence in the rush of lava iu conduits in an easterly and westerly direction. The Bony Avbsged.—By too much sitting still the body becomes unhealthy, and soon the mind. This is Nature's law. She will never see her children wronged. If the mind, which rules the body, ever forgets itself so far as to trample upon its slave, the Blave is never generous enough to forgive the injury, but will rise and smite its oppressor. Thus has many a monarch mind been dethroned.—Longfellow. Ambition often puts mon upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed iu the same posture as creeping. We never know a great character until something congenial to it has grown up within ourselves. Society, like shaded silk, must be viewed in all siti-ation?. or Its colors will deceive ns. Birthday of the Constitution. Wednesday, September 17, says the N. Y. Courier, is the anniversary of the day on which our Constitution was adopted, and should be kt.pt m a holiday throughout tlio Union, to remind the people of the blessings we owe to it, and the necessity of maintaining it. On the 17th of September, 1787, Washington transmitted tli* docu" ment to Congress, accompanied by a letter, whl»h may serve as a model of dignified yet conelid writing. II. is valuable also for the political wisdom it contains, and, notwithstanding its brevity, contains a perfect exposition of the theory of our government and the views which influenced tim framers of this instrument, under which the couutry bas grown in population, in wealth, in political greatness, and in all the elements which tend to make a people prosperous, happy and respected. At this time, when there aro so many parties In the field striving f.r the ascendancy, it will not be considered out of place if we republish this brief totter, from the man wbo is still "flrnt iu tho hearts of his countrymen." Washington waa President of the Convention which framed the Constitution, and it devolved on him to send the newly framed in-trument to Congress: "1\" CONTBKTION, Sf*pt. 17, 1787. uJIis Excellency the President of Congress: " Sin—We have now the honor to submit to the consideration of the United States, in Congress assembled, that Constitution wliich appeared tons the most advisable. ''The friends ot our country have long seen and desired that the power of milking war, peace and treaties, that of regulating commerce, and the correspondent executive and judicial authorities, should be fully and efl-Ctually vested in the General Government ofthe Union ; but the impropriety of delegating such extensive trust to one body of men is evident; hence results the necessity of u different organization. " It is obviously impracticable in the Federal Government of these States to secure nil rights of independent sovereignty to each, and yet provide for the interest and safety of all. Individuals entering into society must give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest. Tbe magnitude of the sacrifice must depend as well on situation and circumstance as on the object to be obtained. It is at all times difficult to draw witli precision tbo line between those rights which must be surrendered and those which may be reserved ; and on the present occasion this difficulty was increased by a difference among tlie several States as to their situation, extent, habits, and particular interests. '•In all our deliberations on this subject, wo kept steadily iu our view that which appears to us the greatest interest of every true Amer^an— the consolidation ol our Union, in which is invoW ed our prosperity, felicity, safety, perhaps our na" tional existence. This important consideration* seriously and deeply impressed on our minds, led each state in the Convention to be less rigid on points of inferior magnitude than might have been otherwise expected ; and thus the Constitution wh'ch we now presont is tlie result of a spirit of amity, and of thut mutual deference and concession which the peculiarity of our political situation rendered indispensable. " That it will meet the full and entire approbation of every State is not perhaps to be expected ; but each will doubtless consider that, had her interest alone been consulted, the consequences might have been particularly disagreeable or injurious to others • that it is liable to as few exceptions as could re(u*onably have been expected we hope and believe ; that it may promote the last- welfare ol that country so dear to us all, and secure her freedom and happiness, is our most ardent wish. "With great respect, we have tlie honor to be sir, your Excellency's most obedient and humble servants. " By unanimous order of the Convention. Gi-or.G._ Washington, President.*' Sutter Title Cospibmeo.—The Express sayi that a dispatch was received in Marysvlllo on Wednesday, stating that the 3utter grant, in all length and breadth, had been confirmed befonj the U. S. Circuit Court. This is the most important decision ever rendered for this portion ol the State. Dr. Edwin W. Collier, of Vallejo, died very suddenly January 13th, at the Solano House, BeilloilL Shasta jail is without an inmate, except Charles Blair, who was sentenced to be hung on the lGth inst., and was afterwards reprieved uutil th» Gth of March. Strong passions work wonders when there Is stronger reason, to curb them. A troubled mind is often relieved by maintaining a cheerful demeanor. We are not too much to regard who speaks, as what is spoken. Prayer is the weak man's refuge, and the strong man's hope. " I owe you a grudge," said Fogg to a political opponent. "I have no fears on that account,"" was the reply, "for you seldom pay any thing. you owe." A shrew having threatened her busbaud with "a blow up."
