Marr’» Lips are Red with Roses.
BT MAJ. G. W. PATTEN, C. S. ARM V.
Mary’s lips are rod with roses.
Yet how cold the words they say!
Joy on Mary’s cheek reposes,
Yet that cheek is turned away.
Still, for all this careless seeming.
Maty's eye serenely beaming, £iog.
Shines like star-light through my dreaui-
Night and day.
Mary's lips may learn their folly
W hen tlie hour is past for bliss;
And her check of melancholly
Vainly turns in search of this.
When she finds how humors vary.
Then, perhaps, may frugal Mary
Mourn the hour she was so chary
Ufa. kiss.

I 'O’ Ihe Journal of Commerce , Portland.
Oregon,is about a lady’s span in size one way,and
the span ol a titan the other. The editor has
taken the City Fathers in low, and seems deter
mined to make something out of them. His in
structions are most judicious. He says;
“ There is a great deal to be done, and it all
must he done in a commercial « ay, that is to say
to profit. The gentlemen who have been elected
are indebted lor their elevation to the “Journal
ol Commerce. ’ They are constant readers of
Jls instructive columns, and cannot plead ignor
ance of what the great deal is to which we so
pertinently, and .-hall continue frequently to re
ler th-un. They have undertaken a gigantic
task. To rule and govern such a city as Port
hind would lurnidt forth several aiuphi/riont coun
cil*. were they as wise ax the celebrated council
which swayed empire in the ancient cities o!
Greece, if the tusk were half as great as that o‘
regulating its public press, and upholding its com
merei.il interests which is so cosily done by us.
l.et them however take courage—not Dutch, hul
the ‘true American’—-for our influence and pop
ularity shall support them in every emergency
so long as they toe the mark, and walk a crack!”
The editor, iu conclusion, intimates that “the
Council will plainly infer that the Journal of Com
merce is /« for a sh ire of their jovs as well as their
toil* " He also gives the following gentle hint
to such persons as trade upon borrowed capital:
“Although the Journal of Commerce is fur
nished at :i price much below its intrinsic value,
we will not permit speculation to go * nnwltipped
of justice.’ We are informed that ‘one ot our
oldest and most respectable citizens’ made a net
profit ul 7 .j cents on a single copy of it last week.
The fact that the profit was re-invested, alone in
duces us to pardon the offeacc of ‘trading upon
our capital.’ Verb sat. sap."
Sketches ok Paragua. —lii a series of “Sket
ches of Paragua,” written Ity George 8. Ray
mond, and now in course of publication it> the
Boston Museum, we find the following attractive
description of tamale hahits. Everybody s ttokes
iu Paragua, and nearly every woman and girl,
more than thirteen years old, chews. Stop a
moment; lam wrong in the last assertion. They
do not chew, hut they put tobacco iu their
months, keep it there constantly, except when
eating or sleeping, and instead of chewing, they
roll it about with the tongue and sack it. Only
imagine yourself about to salute the rich, red,
pouting lips of magnificent little Hebe, arrayed
in satin, and Hashing with diamonds; she puts
you hack with one delicate hand, while with the
lair taper fingers of the other she draws from her
month a brownish black roll of tobacco, the
size of your thumb, and quite two inches long,
looking like a monstrous grub, and depositing
the sax.ry lozenge on of your sombrero;
puts up her face and is ready for your salute. I
hav# sometimes seen an over-delicate foreigner
turn away with a shudder ot loathing under
such circumstances, and get the epithet of "cl
sat taco" (the savage) applied to him by the of
fended beauty for bis sensitive sqeamishness.
However, one gets used to these things in Para
gua, where you are, per force of custom, obliged
to kiss every lady yon are introduced to, and
one-half you meet are really tempting enough
to render you reckless of consequences, and you
would meet the proffered lip in the face of a to
bacco battery, even were it the double-distilled
“honey dew” of Old Virginia.
Sermon- for Moderate Drinkers. —A Scotch
parson once preached a long sermon against
dram-drinking—a vice very prevalent in his par
ish—anil from which, report said, "he was not
himself wholly exempt. Whatever ye do, breth
ren, do it with ‘moderation,’ and above all. be
moderate in dram-drinking. When ye get tip
ve may tack a dram, and another just before
breakfast, and perhaps another just after, but
dinna be always dram-drinking. If you are out
in the morn, ye may just brace yourself up with
another dram, and perhaps another before lun
cheon, and some, I fear, tac k another after, which
is very blameahle, but dinua always be dram
ming away. Naebody can scruple for one just
before dinner, and when the desert is brought
in, ami after it is taneawa, and perhaps ane, and
it may be twa, iu the afternoon, just to keep you
drowsliug awa—but dinna be always dram,
dram, dramming. Afore tea, and after tea, and
between tea and supper, is no more titan is right
and good ; but let me caution ye, brethren, not
to !>• always dram, dramming. Just when ve
start for bed, and ye are ready to pop iuto it, and
perhaps when ye wake in the night, to tack a
dram or twa is no more than a Christian man
may lawfully do; but, brethren, let me caution
you not to drink more than I have mentioned, or
may-beye rnav pass the hounds of moderation.
\\ e see in tile Knglish papers a curious
anecdote of Wellington, quoted from the New
Quarterly Keview:
“ Some years since, the Juke wassilting at his
library table, when the door opened, and, with
out. any announcement, in stalked a ligure of
sit gularly ill omen. ‘ Who’re you ?’ asked the
duke, in his short, dry manner, looking up with
out the least change til countenance, upon the
intruder. ‘I am Apollyon.’ • What want V ‘1
nni sent to kill you.’ ‘ Kill me 1 very odd,’ * 1
am Apollyon, and I must put you to death.’
‘ Bliged to do it to-day ! *1 am not told Uicdav
or the hour but I mus» do my mission.’ ‘ Very
inconvenient—very busy—great many letters to
write—call again, and write me word—l’ll be
ready for you.’ And the duke went on with his
correspondence. The maniac, appalled proba
bly by the stern, immovable old man, backed
out of the room, and iu halt an hour was sale in
Bedlam.”
Large Foutlnk to a Convict. —A man

Rich Specimen of Exaggeration.
The following article from the Louisville Jour
nal, is a rare specimen of the hyperbolical re
presentations so common among modern writers.
The virtues and vices of most men are exaggera
ted by their friends and opponents, but
Prentice, in this article, has exceeded anythin''
we have seen for some time:
The Terrors ok Ugliness. —The last num
ber of the Democratic Review is ornamented (?)
with a portrait of Mr. Bennett, of the New York
Herald. It must be confessed that Bennett is
not a handsome man. The Louisville Journal
pokes fuu at his likeness iu the following pitiless
style:
“ There’s one thing we will readily admit,
and that is. that if Bennett’s portrait be correct,
he is the ugliest of the Democratic editors. For
a while we doubted whether he or a certain
neighbor of ours is the ugliest mortal, hut the
twist in the eyes of Bennett decided the contest
iu his favor. We congratulate our neighbor
that there is one editor uglier than himself in
the Democratic ranks.
Benueti’s portrait is terrific. Such a thing
ought never to be painted or daguerreotypeef.
It ought to he considered a penal offence to
make anything so revolting to all our ideas of
propriety. No matt has a right tc; monopolize
so much ugliness. If Bennett’s ugliness could
be distributed over a thousand faces, it would
make each of them intensely, hatefully ugly.
He ought not to bo permitted to go into the
street without a blanket over his awful frontis
piece. No wonder that so many of the New
York children die of convulsions, since Bennett
is permitted to walk abroad with uncovered
lace. \\ e once heard of a man’s face that was
so ugly that it was placed on andirons for the
purpose of frightening children from the fire
with much effect. No child dared to approach
the andirons, and the liability to combustion from
such cause was greatly lessened. If Bennett’s
ugly likeness were stamped on fire-places, the
etlect would be decidedly bad, for the children
would not dare to go near enough to the fire to
keep warm, and would become fros'-bilten and
perhaps frozen to death. \\ e cannot conceive
ol any reason why any thing should he as curly
as Bennett. He is uglier than a half-starved
hyena. He is Ugliness perfected. There is a
thoroughness about his ugliness which defies
competition. When Miraheutt described himself
as a tiger that had had the small pox, he placed
a very ugly idea in every bodv’s mind; hut it
was beautiful when compared’ with Bennett’s
face. W hen Appellcs made his beauty, Ids
Venus, lie took an eye from one woman, a nose
from another, a mouth from the third, and so on,
until the \ etuis was complete in her more than
earthly beauty. Now it any Appellcs. or artist
ot any appellation, wished to make the most in
dubitably perfect representation of ugliness, lie
would not be compelled to take features from
several very ugly persons, but all he would be
compelled to do would he to get Bennett’s face
and the enterprise would lie accomplished.”
The I,allies of America.
It is strange that the “oppressed condition of
women” should ho more vehemently insisted
upon and loudly deplored in the United States
than in any other part of the civilized world. Is
it because the appetite for homage grows by
what it feeds on, that the profound respect with
which the ladies of America are treated by the
opposite sex fails to satisfy their champions ?
Relieved of'lie rough cares of lite, waited upon,
caressed, all hut worshipped ; deferred to in
public, supreme at home; reigning over the
hearts and exercising a powerful, although unac
knowledged, influence over the heads of man
kind ; the queen bees of the-human hive, for
whose satisfaction we toil, and scheme, and
hoard, oftentimes periling life that they may
enjoy its comforts and luxuries—what would
they more ?
J he greatest evil that could he inflicted on the
gentle creatures w*nld he to grant them all the
privileges claimed for them by their self-consti
tuted representatives. Their prestige would
be gone. Jostling us on ’change, bidding with
us in the market, arguing with us at the bar, le
gislating with us in the senate, sharing, or try
ing to share, with us all the labors now imposed
upon the tougher muscles and hardier minds of
men, they would soon lose the refinement, the
delicacy, the moral beauty, and even the person
al attractions which now render them objects of
admiration. Wg, should no more “ bow down
to them nor worship them.” They would he
baffled and thrust aside by superior strength and
activity abroad, and no longer have the power
to hind us in silken chains at home.
Is not their sway almost absolute? Place mix
James is the shibboleth of the American gentle
men. In all social gatherings, at all places of
amusement, in the omnibus, the car, the steam
boat. on the sidewalk, and even in the house of
find, we concede to them the place of honor.
We rise that they may he seated—we step out
into the storm that they may come under shelter.
For them we make the rough places smooth—
for them we buy, and build, and beautify. The
opera, the theatres, all shows, all luxuries, are
theirs, without money and without price. They
are attended upon with a chivalrous devotion,
unknown even in hi Idle Prance, and manly
hands are ever ready “ to avenge even a look
that threatens them with insult.” We say again,
what would they more ?
Ladies of America, for your own sakes. do not
attempt to bring yourselves down to our Iced.
lou will soon find that the game is not worth
the candle.
“ Domestic happiness, the only bliss
That has survived the fall,”
would perish from the earth if woman were to
rush the charmed circle of home into the arena
of busy life, and insist upon sharing the routdi
and tumble of this " bank-note world.” Then
indeed should we have to say with Hurke, “ the
age of chivalry is gone.”—A'. I'. Weekly Mes

Got,n— The Bibt.e. —Even in California our
thoughts are not all on gold. Hear what the
weekly Placer Herald says:
“ How comes it that this little volume, com
posed by humble men, in a rude age, when art
and science were but in their childhood, has ex
erted more influence on the human ai d on Un

EMPIRE OF WOMAN.
Her might is gentleness —she wiuneth a way
By a soft word and softer look :
Where she, the gentle loving one, hath failed,
The proud or stern might never yet succeed.
Strength, power and majesty belong to man;
They make the glory native to bis life ;
But sweetness is a woman's attribute,
By that she has reigned, and by that will reign.
There have been some who with a mightier mind
Have won dominion, but they never won
The dear empire of the beautiful; v
Sweetest sovereigns of their natural loveliness.

An up country editor laments as follows over
the gradual encroachment of womankind on the
territories of pantaloons. He says, they first took
our coats, at first we hardly missed them, a id
then they aped our dickeys and cravats; they
stole our sacks, but we only laughed and kissed
them; emboldened, then, they wore our very
bats, until, by slow and sure degrees, the witches
have taken all: our coats, bats, boots and
breeches.— Sack. Californian.
There is a jail in one of the up country mining
towns so awful -‘shabby” that the ptisoners are

informant does not say whether the “keeper”
bail complied with the culprit’s request or not.

would try it. But let any- man proclaim that
there was five hundred dollars up therefor you,
