In going for the first time up a narrow of suffer
ley in one of our large cities, my atten- who vial
tion was attracted by a window, on the bore, w
sill of which stood a broken pot, with a which ol
scarlet geraniumin it. The love of flowers of fowe

and poor, young and old. Isoever see altar, a

richer neighbors. very h
I had entered the alley for the purpose far nc
of becoming acquainted with its inmates. voiced
I being a visitor of the Conference of St. for ma
Vincent de Paul, it had been just included eternal
in my district, and, I knew the abode of a es ofb
very wretched set of people. I went from been t
house tohouse; and reserving the cottage stand
with the geranium plant in it until the gronpi
last, feeling quite sure that there, at any ong
rate, I should meet with some amount of Hnmb
civility. And I was not mistaken, for on shore
knocking, a clean-looking woman opened antic
the door and invited me to walk in. Every- howls
thing bore the mark of extreme poverty. wild
In the only chair in the room was seated a riads,
young girl, apparently in the last stage of mnltu
consumption. Very emaciated and weak Thi
she appeared but there was an expres- most
sion in her face which excited interest ering
e than compassion, an expression of thi
hich I an hardly describe ; it seemed to away
have its origin within, and to be quite in- any
dependent of external circumstances. powe
I asked her a few questions about her lg a
health which she answered simply and with- me
out one word of complaint. Then I drew beine
her attention to the geranium, and said I the
hoped from seeing it there that she was as er is
fond of flowers as I was. A slight color whic
tinged her cheek, and she smiled, and she can
was about to reply, when her mother The
said- Ofe
"Oh, there, I don't know what we should ly w
do without the flower ; it is everything to of a
her; how she does treasure it, to be to te
sure."
I asked what made it so preciousy ; tou
bad it been a gift from some one she gra:
loved t ros
"Not that exactly," she said, "and yet mo
it is a gift, a gift from my Father's hand, doe
always saying to me: Consider the lilies, rig
how they grow ; they toilnot, neither do Eel
they spin ; and yet I say unto you, that tud
even Solomon in all his glory was not ar- Mo,
rayed like one of these. Wherefore, if terr
God so clothe the grass of the field, shall nine
He not much more clothe you, O ye of coo
little faith 1" 0
I took her band in mine, and silently woo
thanked God for giving me this lesson of mit
faith and patience. e o
She continued, however, seeing that I
was silent. "My beautiful plant, it has a twi
little story too. When I was a little girl, ce
we lived at the other end of the city, up a im
court that was better than this, for mother mb
was better off then, and poor father was hio.
alive. Opposite to us lived a cobbler, slo
who was always at work, night and day, gin
I used to think. Let any one go into the an
yard, be never looked off from his work ; Te
there he sat with a large scarlet geranium rep
growing in an old earthen pan on one side up
of him, and a thrush in a wicker cage on we
the other. As a child, it was my great de- ed
light to slip out and stand to watch the old co
man work.
I remember well one day when lie said wE
to me : Little maid, which do you like at
best, my flower, bird, or the old man him- at
self You seem very fond of coming to tl
see one or the other of us." it
"I think I like you," I said, "and the bh
other." •
"God bless you," said he, "give me your in
little hand. Ah ! it is a long year ago al
since old Johnny held a little child's hand w
in his like this," and be wiped a tear away fe
with his shirt-sleeve. I was half frighten- t
ed, and as soon as he released me I ran
away; but before anotler day had passed, t
there I was again making friend with old t
Johnny.
He told me another day foany little
stories about his bird, which was a great n
et of his, and then added: "Do youn b
know, little one, when I am busy at work, r
my geranium and this good old bird talk h
to me of God. I look at them and think f'
of the wonderful hand that made them,
and of the loving Saviour who used to u
teach his dleisciples to consider threm. I t
oIam a lonely old man now; once I had two
little maids to cheer my home ; now these c
are all my worldly treasures."
" We left his neighborhood two or three t
years since, and then lie gave na e that h
plant, hoping it would be as great a com
fort to m as it had been to him. Iwent
out to service and left the plant withe
mother, and am sorry to say, soon forgot
the good things he told me, for you see,
ma'am, they had not got into my heart. 1
Then I was taken ill, and was obliged to
go home to mother, and poor father fell
from the scaffolding of the new Hall, and I
was brought home dead, and, oh i it was a I
sad house, and in my trounbe I began to
think ef old Johnny's sayings. Fourteen
months ago 'ti since I was first taken ill.
• At first it seemed so hard to be laid by,
but old Johnny heard I was ill, and came
round to see me, and talked so beautifully
to me abont death, and heaven, and read
ing to me bits out of his prayer-book, that
I was led to find salvation in Christ, and
now I am only waiting for God to take me
to himself."
She looked up and smiled so sweetly as
she uttered these last words that, notwith
standing her pale, wan face, I thought I
had never seen any one so beautiful. I
have given her words as nearly as I can
remember; but there were many interrup
tions, occasioned by the oppression of her
breathing and her cough. She lingered for
a few weeks, during which I saw her many
times. One morning, just as I was leaving
home for a few days, her mother came to
my house to tell me she was gone, and
brought me, at her desirer her precious

look at my plant, and think of te .young
girl to whose suffering it had been such a
balm.
Many of us little know how much plea
sure we can give to the poor by the gift of
flowers. In sickness, especially in linger
ing illness, a little nosegay of simple flow
ers will often help to relieve many an hour
of suffering. I know of one good woman
who visits much amongst her poorer peigh
bora, who devotes part of her garden, of
which she is very fond, to the cultivation
of flowers, on purpose to>cull them for
bouquets to decorate the'blessed Virgin's
altar, and to take with her on her errands
of mercy, and I wish that more would fol

.The Coast of California.
[From Picturesque America-Appleton & Co.J
The purpose of this article is to depict
that portion of California that is washed
by the surf of the Pacific, and which, for
the most part, is walled in toward the east
by the mountains of the Coast Range.
This strip of territory is of variable breath;
sometimes the mountains recede from the
shore as if d>eading the fury of the ocean,
and sometimes they press boldly to its
very brink, and run out huge promontories
far into the proper domains of the many
voiced deep. The vicinity of such places,
for many miles, bears the impress of this
eternal contest, in the shape of huge mass
es of basaltic and trap rocks, which have
been torn apart by the waves, and which
stand sometimes isolated, sometimes in
groups in the midst of the waters. All
along the coast line, from Eureka, on
SHumbolt Bay, to Sonoma County, the
shore is rendered interesting by these gig
s antic fragments, around which the wind
howls with fruitless fury, and where the
wild birds of the ocean congregate in my
riads, deafening the tourist with their tu
Smnltnona cries.
The inhabitants of the coast are, for-the
most part, Americans, but there is a ling- b
ering remnant of the Spaniard, and a trare thr
of the Russian dating back from the far- chb
away times when the Russian Fur Com- tel
pany was established here, and was a the
power in the land. The means of travel- pre
ing are twofold-the mud-wagon in sum- abl
mer and the stage in winter-the stage kit
being of that ponderous variety known as gal
the Concord. A pleasanter way than eith- q
er is to go on horseback; and the mustangs, ac
which though small in size, are excellent, ev
can be purchased for a moderate sum. ro
The roads are not very good, it must be co
confessed; and there are bad bits, especial- an
ly where the track winds round the base
of a moantain. But they are good enough bl
to the contented mind, and stage communi- ci
cation has never been interrupted. The g
tourist will find little scenery of sufficient
grandeur to interest him until he ap
proaches Cape Mendocino. Here tho t
mountains, which previously were low
down upon the line of the horizon, come T
right up to the sea. After crossing the
Eel River, a stream of considerable magni- n
tude, the road winds along the skirts of
Mount Pierce, a huge mountain, which r
terminates a long range of high hills, run- C
ning parallel to and not far from the sea- a
coast. The sides of Mount Pierce are
positively covered with the famous red
wood ; and the eye ranges over miles and
miles of this magnificent tree without de
tecting any other kind. Some of these are
no less than three hundred feet high and
twelve feet in diameter, and the magnifi
cence of these mountain-forests can well be
imagined. In the early morning, as the
r mud-wagon painfully climbs up the foot
s hills, the eye delightfully watches the mist
slowly departing from the tall tops of these
r, giants. A thick veil lies upon the cliffs
and the sea, also unillumined by the sun.
To the left, however, slanting arrows of
red light come up beside the crags and fall
Le upon the columnar trunks of the red
n woods. The deep green leaves seen gild
,- ed at the edges, and the bark of cinnamon
Id color glows under the red rays. Above,
half-way up the 'trees, there is a point
d where the early sunlight and the mist are
at strife. At this place, the mist wreathes
and circles about under the influence of t
the sun, and this movement communicates w
itself slowly, very slowly, to the deep tt
bank of mist above, where the grays are hi
pare, and have no contact with the glow- at
ing arrows of Phmobus Apollo. The sky le
above is wonderfully clear, tinged a little bh
with saffron back of the mountain, and a D
few stars tremble lazily over the deep, dark ti
pall of gray fog that overhangs the ocean.
We can hear the slow, solemn pulsing of it
the waves and the roar of the breakers as V
they beat upon the rocks. A few light,
wandering cirri suddenly become visible
overhead, a tongne of fire licks the top
most crag of Mount Pierce, and warms its
barrenness. The clondlets become a pale a
red the mist upon the trees creeps up
higher, and more and more of the dense
foliage becomes visible. In five minutes, P
while we are gazing at the light moving
upon the crags of the mountain-side, and,
the mist departing from the red-woods
upon its broad flanks, all, all has become
clear ; and seaward the eyes are charmed
with such a bit of rugged grandeur as the
artist has depicted. The cliffs are not high,
but along them are the fragments that the
sea in its fury has overwhelmed after cen
turies of never-ending warfare. In a kind
of inlet, standing like the monument of
some great one in a market-place, is an
isolated rock of fantastic shape. It is of
basalt, seamed and scarred very strangely.
The sea has worn a passage through the
base, through which the waters plash and
rage unceasingly. The height of the arch
thus made gives as an idea of the fury of
the storms that have beat upon this tower
of the sea-birds. If this did not exist,
we might infer it from the difference of
color in the rock. Above, the tones are
pure gray ; but below, where the tempest
reaches, of a dark brown. The crest is of
a dazzling white, from the guano of the
wild-fowl that inhabit there, and breed,
and bring up their young. In the early
morning they are silent until the mist has
lifted ; then one starts up, and he goescir
cling round the cliff, pouring out harsh
and discordantcries, then another joins in,
and another, until all the adult birds are
on the wing, and the rock is left in posses
sion of the young ones, that scream for
food as long as they can see a single bird
in the air. In a few minutes, of all the
r thousands of birds that were circling about,
r not half a dozen are in sight. All have
gone a-fishing in such places as they are
acquainted with ; and, if one might linger,
I doubtless he would see the birds re
turn one by one with food for tbeir young
t ones. Among the inhabitants of suoch
I rocks the pelican, the cormorant, and the
I larg of a-gull, a the most con
spicious, but occasionaly there is a fowl
called the murre, whose eggs are consider
ed a great deliacey, and are sold by hun
dreds of thousands.
Nothing -an be more tumultuous or less
pacific than the waters of the Pacific Ocean .
alog the Mendocino coast. Where there
Oia sandy beach, which is not often, it is '
pleasant to wateh the incoming waves, and Lo
to con pare them with those of the Atlan
tic. We at once perceive that there is a c
considerable difference. In the Atlantic
the surf is seldom more than six feet high,
and the serried line of waters that comes o0
dashing onward is rarely more than two
hundred yards long. In fact, gazing at w
the sea that breaks upon the Long-Branch P
shore, or upon the sands of Cape May, or v
upon the western side of Martha's Vine
yard, or upon the petrified beach of Santo
Domingo, one can see without difficulty
ten or a dozen waves breaking on the shore
dor advancing in line, all within the field of
d vision afforded by one glance. It is not so
r here. The waves, in the first, are not so
frequent. "Accustomed to the Atlantic a
. quick pulsation, the traveler waits with
7; impatience, even with a degree of pain,
1 for the roar of the breakers on the Pacific
c' oast, and has about concluded that the
ssea has given the thing up as a bad job,
B when the tremendous boom bursts sudden
Sly and unexpectedly upon his ear. Then,
Sthe waves are twelve feet high and a mile
in length, and advance with a solemnity
of motion which words cannot describe.
Ve The curves described by the falling crests
ch of such waves are infinitely fluer than any
n thing which the Atlantic presents; and the
1i boiling fury with which they crash up
on on the beach and churn the sands is, at
he first sight, appalling. Around such iso
g- lated rocks as those presented by the artist

poets fabled around Scylla. All along the
Mendocino coast they have worn the cliffs
a- into strange and wondrous forms, beating
out caverns where the lower part is con
glomerate rock, and series of arched cellars
g- into which tons of sea-weed and debris are
Une thrown. The basalt, which is the leading
ar- character of the crust, is not uniform in
m- texture, some parts being very much softer
a than others. Wherever this occurs in the
el- proximity of the waters, they have invari
Lm- ably scooped oat the soft rock, making all
age kinds of mystic arches, siren rings, and
as gate-ways of Poseidon. This is not infre
ith- quent, and occasionally happens in spots
igs, accessible to the human foot, sometimes
nt, even in close neighborhood to the stage
um. road. The surface is covered with a rank,
ecoarse grass, which even mules disdain,

even look at. Sometimes a cactus will

A RouIANTI LIFE.-A very amiable and
truly Catholic gentleman died recently at
the St. Addresse, near iavre, France. i,
This was the Duke de Rianzares, whose ro- it
mantic career will, in all probability, fur- ti
nish subjects for the novelists of the future.
The Duke was of a very humble originand i
remarkably handsome, in short an Adonis.
Chosen on account of his splendid fgure, fo
as a gentleman of the royal guarde of u
Madrid, he one day formed part of the n
escort of Queen Christina, then the youth- r
ful widow of Ferdinand VII. The Queen
was going to the Shrine of Atocba, and on
leaving the church dropped her handker- C
chief. The guard picked it up and at once
restored it to her Majesty with such grace
that he at once won her heart. She or
dered him to walk by her litter and con
versed with him all the way back to the
* palace. The next day he was promoted to
e the rank of usher and invited to the court
balls. Three weeks afterwards he was pri
* vately married to the Queen, and their
f marriage was publicly made known in
1 1844. Fernando Munoz, for such was his
name, was now created Duke and grandis
simo of Spain. He followed Christina into
exile and both have lived together in the
, most exemplarxy fshion ever since. The
it Duke was exceedingly modest, never in
0 terfered in politics and occupied himself
> principally with the charitable concerns of
the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, of
es which he was a most zealous member. All
P the royal family of Spain was attached to
re him, and he died in the arms of his wife
r- and her daughter, Queen Isabella II. IHe
ýy leaves several children, amongst whom the
le beautiful Princesses Czartoriski and Del
Drago are the best known. The good gen
rk tleman used to visit every day some poor
n. person, incoguito, and spent much of his
0 money in decorating the Church of St.
a Vincent de Paul, Paris.-Catholic Thciew.
A writer in the Engineer, in discussing ii
the question as to whether it will be pos- 1
sible to run a locomotive engine and train
at the speed of one hundred miles an hour, a
presents the following interesting facts re
garding the average rates of express trains,
past and present : In England, the aver
age speed on the best mail-coach lines, in
1829 and 1830, was a little over ten miles
an hourj- in the following year this rate
was advanced to thirty miles. At present ,
the highest railway speed in the wor'd are
attained on the Great Western Railway,
England,.wbich may be taken roundly at
fifty miles an hour. Although it is said that
Brunel once traveled from Swindon to
Loudon at. the rate of eighty miles an
hour, the writer expresses his belief that
"we have never been able to obtain the
shadow of a proof that this speed has been
reached under any circumstances or at any
time whatever on any railway." In one
instance, a train on the Great Northern
.Railway, consisting of sixteen cars, drawn
by one of Sterling's great outside-cylinder
express engines, running on a level or
slightly-falling gradient, attained the un
precedented speed of seventy miles an
hour. And the Yarmouth express, on the
Great Eastern read, sometimes has reached
the speed of sixty-four miles an hour down
the Brentwood bank. In the United
States, on the Boston and Albany road,
the fifty-four miles between Springfield
and Worcester were run by an engine with
sixteen-inch cylinder, twenty-two-inch
stroke, and six and one-half-inch drive
wheels in fifty-eight minutes. Much of
this run was done at the rate of neatly
seventy miles an hour. In view of these
facts, it is believed that on a first class line
a speed of sixty or seventy miles an hour
may be available with safety, though a
much higher velocity could not b3 attained
without incurring enornous risk of de
railment.

h the loe in the polar sess, that the coming win
