OL.D TIMES
BY GERALD GRIFFIN.
Old times 1 old times! the gay old limeB 1
Wben I was young and free, _
And heard the merry Easter chimes,
Under the sally tree:
My Suuday palm beside me placed,
My cross upon my hand,
A heart at rest within my breast,
Aud sunshine on the land 1
Old limes! old times!
It is not tbat my fortunes flee,
Nor that my cheek is pale,
I mourn whene'er I think of thee,
My darling native vale!
A wiser head I have, I know,
Than when I loitered there:
But in my wisdom there is woe,
Aud iu my knoweldge care,
Old times! old times!
I've lived to know my shiire of joy,
To feel my share of patn,
To learn ttiat friendship's self can cloy,
To love, and love in vain—
To leel a pang and wear a smile,
To tire of other climes,
To like my own unhappy isle,
Aud sing the gay old times !
Old times! old times!
And sure the land is nothing changed,
The birds are singing still ;
The (lowers are springing where wo ranged,
There's sunshine on the hill :
The sally waving o'er my head,
Still sweetly shades my frame,
But ab, those happy days are fled,
Aud I am not the same 1
$%.-.■$ Old times! old times!
Oh, come again, ye merry times!
Sweet, sunny, fresh and calm ;
And let mo hear those Easter chimes,
And wear my Sunday palm.
If I could cry away mine eyes,
My tears would flow in vain ;
If I could waste my heart iu sighs,
They'll never come again 1
Old times! old times!
Swearing n Contraband.
The following description of the swearing of a
contraband is from a letter to tho Cincinnati ■Enquirer, from a member of Company K FirBt Iowa
Cavalry :
"Innumerable questions were being propounded
to him, when the corporal advanced  observing :
"See, here, Dixie, before you can enter the Ber-
vie of tbe United States, you must be sworn."
"Yes, massa, I do dat," he replied, when the corporal continued :
"Well, then take bold of the Bible," holding
out a letter envelope, upon which was delineated
the Goddess of Liberty standing upon a Suffolk
pig, wearing the emblem of our country. The
negro grasped tho emblom carefully with his
thumb and forefinger, when the corporal proceeded to administer the oath by saying :
"You solemnly swear that you will support the
Constitution of the United States and that there
are no grounds floating upon the coffee, at all
times."
"Yen, massa, I do dat," he replied, "I alters
eettles him iu tlie coffee pot."
Here ho let go of the envelope lo gesticulate by
a downward thrust of his fore-finger the direction
ihat would bo given to the coffe grounds for the
future.
"Never mind how you do it," shouted the corporal, "but hold on to the Bible,"
"Lord, Maaea, I toigot," Bald tbo negro, an lm
dartud forward   aod firaoped   (ho cnvclopo   with a
firmer clutch, when the corporal continued:
"And do you solemnly swear that you will support the Constitution of all the loyal States and
not spit upon tho plates when cleaning them, or
wipe them with your shirt sleeve.
Hero a frown lowered upon the brow of the
negro, his eyes expanded to their largeBt dimensions, while his lips protruted with a round form,
aB he exclaimed ;
"Lordy, massa, I never do dat. I allerB washes
him nice. Ole hubbub mighty 'ticker 'about
dat."
"Never mind ole missus," Bhouted the corporal,
as he resumed : and you do solemnly swear that
you will put milk in the coffee every morning,
and Bee th&t the ham and eggs are not cooked
too much or two little."
"Yes, do dat; Pee a good cook."
"And lastly" continued the corporal, you do
solemnly swear that when this war is over you'll
make tracks for Africa almighty fast.-".
"Yea, massa, I do dal. I allers wanted to go to
Cheecargo."
"Here the regimental drums beat up for drees
parade, when Tom Benton, (that being Mb name)
was declared duly Bworn In and commissioned as
chief cook in Company K, of tho First Iowa Cavalry."
Satan amoxq the School Girls.—The follow-
ing is related by the New York correspondent of
tho "acrameuto Union
" In one of our up-town schools, where the female teacherB are very numerous and very pretty,
one of tho trustees introduced, a few weeks ago, a
visitor styled Col. Halleck, a hero of the battle of
Fort Donelson, a brother of the Major General ot
the Western Department, and a man with thirty-
two bullet holes in his body, more or less, received
in that pnirntrAmnnt    -,-.. '---      "tJ.---	
mooials, the owner of a superb sword and sash
handsome face, and a disposition to make love to
every lady. Ilia suavity and attentions played the
mischief with the fair teachers. He called sometimes at the Bchool ; came in with one of them
accompanied another home, and in short made
himself affectionately interesting. Three days
afterwards he was arrested, and proved to be ao
old jail bird known as one Larkin. The sword and
Bash he had got under false pretences of Ball
Black & Co., and heavens only knows how many
persons this gay and fascinating gentleman had
"let in" Ior various small investments ranging
from an X to a C. As for the teachers—how th.
mourned the loss of slippers one had worked him;
the drawings another had given him; the kisses
all had allowed him to pilfer, &c. One beautiful
girl had gone still further in her confidence and
yesterday she was seat to the Bloomingdale Asy
lum, a maniac. She was innocent and unsuspici-
ous—he was attractive and
rest is the old story.
Found bll Affinity.
After a long, arduous fend distressing search,
innocent, honest and confiding JohnConneas has
at length found hia affinity. He acted with the
Democracy from interest not from choice. He
believed it to bo wrong but not unprofitable to
profess undying demotion to the principles of the
Democratic party. He believed it to be unjust but
not unpopular to ridicule and denounce the Republican party and the National Administration
last August, when he wanted to be Governor, but
the sovereigns objected. John has discovered the
error of hiB way; he retracts, apologises, repents
and implores to be received into the Republican
church. True, John groBtly and savagely abused
the Republican party and damned its platform but
a few months aeo, but that was before h_e was seduced by the one or understood by the other, and
then it was only in a Pickwickian eense: The
Bcales have fallen—suddenly and opportunely—
from his eyes. John now sees clear and distinctly
tlie beauties of Republicanism—the bideousuess of
Democracy. John—sweet innocent 1—has long been
groping in darkuess. A touch of Old Abe's talis—
manic wand—John has still au eye on the Brigadier Generalship—has transformed him into a
full blooded Abolition Republican. Good for John!
But, remember, John, tbat a skillful reader of tbe
human heart has aaid, that " that conversion will
be uuHpected that apparently concurs with interest."
Not tbat we, who know you ao well, would attribute selfish or ambitious motives to you. Oh,
no! You are above such weakness! You never
aspired—you never wanted office—you only yielded, and that unwillingly, to the pressing solicitation of " the people." John lovea privacy—has
no taste for political wrangling and excitement,
and may not run again for any office, unless he bas
a " dead thing" on an election. John is shrewd
if he isn't popular, John ia ambitious if he iBo't
modest, but he is not ambitious to be again defeated.
Our neighbor, the Republican, thus distinctly
defines John's present poeish :
"In times past, we, aa well as many others, have
been a most vigorous opponent of Mr, Conness.

Public Lands, and who wish to purchase tbe
same from the State of California, can now do eo,
by taking the proper legal measures.
ThoBe who bave bad their lands surveyed in
conformity with the United States survey, will not,
need to have the same re-surveyed if the County
Surveyor can make a plot Irom the field notes

Twenty per cent on the whole price of tbe lands
and ten per cent, interest upon the balance due

per annum, in advance, upon tbe remainder, until
the purchaser wishes to pay the entire amount.—
Persons deBirinp, can pay the whole price at once.
Take notice, that the present liberal terms upon
which the State lands are offered may not continue, and that Section 16, Article 1, of the State
Constitution says : " No law impairing the obligations of contracts shall ever pe passed." So those
who desire may now put their lands beyond the
caprice of future legislation.
Sec. 17 ofthe State Constitution, Art. 1st, reads
thus : "Foreigners who are, or who may hereafter
become, bona fide residents of this State, shall enjoy the same rights, iu respect to the possession,

A UsrON op Kivbrs.—We understand from a
pretty reliable source tbat the Humboldt river has
during the spring freshets, cut for itself, some distance weBt of Humboldt Lake, a new course, about
300 feet wide and 10 feet deep, to the Carson river
»U   point   nm*:   nf fTni-nnn    TnJre.      ThrOUtffl   thia
new channel three-fourths of the volume of the
Humboldt waters are said to flow into the Carson
river, instead of the Humboldt Lake as heretofore.
Heretofore the waters of the Humboldt Lake would
run into Carson Lake through a slough and vice
versa, whichever had the greatest volume of water.
Now, we presume, the greatest volume ol water
will first pass through the Carson river to Camon
and Humboldt Lakes, where it will Bink or evaporate. This freak of the all-powerful element gives

could be made navigable (or boats of light draught

we understand tbat some of our enterprising citizens have already in contemplation a movement
of this character, perceiving the immense advantage to be derived io the future from it as a highway for transportation.—Carson Silver Age.

THE  ALPINE  CIIOSS.
1SY  JAMES T. WELDS.
Benighted, once, where Alpine storms
Have buried hosts of martial forma,
Halting with fear, benumbed with cold,
While swift the avalanches rolled—
Shouted onr guide with quivering breath :
"The path is lost—to move is death I"
The savage snow-cufid scorned to frown,
The howling winds c'une fiercer doi. u ;
Shrouded lo sueh a dismal scene,
No in or lul ahl whereon to  Ivtn,
Think yon what music 'twas1 to bear—
"I see tho Cross—our way ia clear !''
We looked, and there amid the snows,
A .imple cross of wood uprose;
Firm in tbe tempest's awful wrath
It stood, to guide the traveler's path,
And point to where the valley lies,
Serene beneath the summer skies.
One dear companion of that night
lias passed away from mortal eight ;
He reached his home to droop and fade,
And sleep within his native glade ;
But as his fluttering haud I took,
Before he gave his "farewell look,
lie whispered from his bed of pair.—
"The Alpine Cross I see again!"
Then, Emilitig, suuk to endless rest,
Upon hia weeping mother's breast!

•"TU True thut Fat«*a Unsparing Hand.
mx w. iioward I'Enraao.
'Tis true that fate's unsparing hand
May doom the hopes to blight
Thut in lbe happy days ol yore
Twined round the heart all bright;
'Tis true that time may deeply trace
Ils lines upon the brow,
Bleach the once raven locks to white,
And bid the form to bow ;
But, ob, the heart can neer grow old,
No changes can it know,
It threbbeth still with love aa warm
Aa in the long ago.
The fame we courted in our youth
May lose its quickening spell,
Thu laurel wreath may lose its power
To cause the heart lo swell ;
Eacb sunny dream, each cherished hope,
May fade before time's dart,
But vain is time, with all its blight,
To change the loving heart;
For lbe heart that once haa truly loved,
Will love when life is o'er,
And witb affection still more pure
Love on a brighter shore.
The Monsters of thu Deep.—There ia a cpec-
tacle which it is worth one's while to take a little
trouble and time to witness. Off from the bold
shore which bars the Pacific, a short distance
southward from Half-moon Bay, in the Purissima
District, Sati Mateo County, a number of rocky
waves. Judging by the eye, we presume the distance is about two hundred yards. Any fine clear
day a spectator, standing on the bluff which terminates Siliock'a ranch in that direction, can see
thooe rocks covered with sea liong of every size
from the puny cub making his first essay witb diminutive flippers, to the enormous bull whose
means of locomotion seem hardly adapted to move
his huge body wben be quits the ocean for terra
fir ma. We had the gratification, the other day,
of seeing no less than one thousand of these amphibia enjoying themselves, huddled together in
a vast herd, eo close that their bodies touched,
leaving scarcely an unoccupied Bpot. Some,
scrambling up Irom the water, struggled for a
resting place that was already occupied, and on
beiog repulsed rolled back into the water. Occasionally two males would indulge ina fight, which
was terrible in its ferocity ; or who with its clumsy fondness the caresses of a mate. On the beach
immediately under the feet of the spectator,
might be seen myriads ol these monsters, rolling
in tbe sand, while the surf played over their bodies
affording a picture of enjoyment wbich toabiped
troubled with tbe cares of life was provoking to
contemplate. The novelty of tbe scene was enhanced by the nearness of the view, enabling the
spectator to watch every movement, The hoarse
oariDg which the animals constantly keep up
sounds, in the stillness of the night, like the noise
ofa cataract. The rancberos in tbe neighborhood
have no difficulty in shooting these animals, and
supply themselves with all tbe oil they consume
irom their oleaginous carcasses. Timidity is a
characteristic of the sea lion. They never attack
man, and will always retreat from his presence—
except in the case of the female ; she fights with
desperation to protect ber young, and it is not sale
to get between her and lhe water unless well armed.
Many persons, tbis season, havo witnessed the
scene we have described, aud until the fact came
under their own obaeryation were sceptical aa to
the prodigious numbers in which these animals assembled.— S. F. Gall.
