My Home o’er the Sea.
Oh let me go back to my dear native home—
The home of my childhood, no longer to roam;
The,honie of my kindred, the home o’er the sea.
Where foad hearts are wishing and waiting for me.
Again let me visit those dear native scenes—
The land of my fond hopes, the land of my dreams;
Where sisters and brothers are blithsomeand free—
Oh land of siy childhood, the dearest to mel
’Tis long since I left thee, thou dear native spot,
But therms love for thee yet that time cannot blot;
I long to be going—I’m yearning to see
The dear one's I left far away o'er the sea.
hfy home in these mountains is pleasant to me,
Where bright gushing fouttains flow briskly and free.
Where the tall pine trees rear their tops to the skies,
And the beautiful hills in majesty rise.
But pleasanter far are the green native hills
That I roamed o’er in youth midst woodlands and rills,
With sisters and brothers—how happy were we
In that homo of childhood, my home o'er the sea.

LOG CABIN INKLINGS.
No. 11.
I pity that portion of my fellow
beings who have been so unfortunate
as to be born with gold spoons in
their mouths.
Don’t cry “sour grapes” at me for
this burst of pity. Ido not live in a
glass house, and that stone from the
old quarry of Esop falls harmless up
on the roof of my humble cabin.
On reflection, I repeat that I pity
them. Wealth has entailed upon
them an ignorance worse than that of
the unlettered plebian, who substitutes
for the full flowing signature of the
colleges the hieroglyphical X he calls
his mark. Do not laugh at that crow’s
foot, ye rich ones, fresh from college.
Forget not that it was the rulers of
the earth who first used it , and that
its primary signification was as sacred
as the cross it imitated.
True, wealth brings with it many
desirable things which are seldom en
joyed by those who have nothing from
the world but what they force from it
—many blessings unshared by the
wretchedly poor. As Charles Lamb
pleasantly observes—
“ Goodly legs and shoulders of mutton, cxhilirating
“cordials, books, pictures. Hie opportunities of seeing for
'‘■eign countries , indkpesdexce, heart'tease, a man's own
“tine to himself, aro not muck — however we may be
“pleased to scandalize with that appellation the faith
ful metal that provides them for ns.”
But these things to be properly en
joyed must bo earned. The man who
inherits them lacks the keen appreci
ation which poverty alone can give.
Herein consists one proof of his
ignorance, though not the greatest.
Let me ask myself again— am I en
vious? Would Ibe the thing he is
for what he owns? No—yet I do
envy the born-rich. I envy him his
capacity for usefulness—tho bound
less means he possesses to make his
neighbors happy and to surround him
self by an atmosphere of human love.
I envy him the spectacle that he might
have of tearful gratitude, or, better
yet, the sight of faces brilliant with a
happiness of his creation. Unknown
to myself there may be lower motives
for this envy than those I mention.—
Perhaps no Diogenes amongst us but
has felt, or fancied, his superiority to
the wealthy Alexander standing be
twixt himself and the sun. Yet none
of us—none of us poor ones, I mean
—are agrarians andlevelers: we know
too well the truth of what has been
said, that if the world’s wealth were
equally distributed to-day, to-morrow
it would be drifced into heaps again.
When we feel envious—for which
heaven forgive us!—we envy not sel
fishly. But we cannot look upon
wealth unaccompanied by more valu
able qualities, without an unpleasant
sensation of dislike and a sense of in
justice. We scorn the ignorant pride
which makes the calf isolate himself
from the proletarian world, and think
he should be worshipped on his pe
destal of exclusiveness because ho is
made of gold! Alack the day! He
does indeed find many worshippers —
as erst his prototype in the wilder
ness—wretches unworthy to be poor,
for which reason poverty is to them a
curse, and to get rid of it they are
ready to do for mammon all his dirty
work.
I repeat it —he of the gold spoon is
a sad ignoramus.
No man is truly intelligent who
does not go to school to Nature—
who does not receive from her a thor
ough cosmopolitan education, which
makoth all men known to him and all
his brethren. Now the born-rich
does not do this, therefore he is an ig
noramus. He is shut out from the
creation to which he lightly belongs
by the circumstances of his birth and
from the very first minute of it. Fresh
from bis mother’s womb he lies on
lint >, and his couch is draped with
damask or with costlier silks and
lace. His first perceptions are of
human deference to wealth—the
soul’s self-abnegation to material ac
cidents. He inhales not the free air
of democratic nature —drinks not his
mother’s milk even, but inspires the
perfumed odors of dazzling boudoirs
and draws his sustenance from hire*'
ling breasts.
He grows up a comparatively iso
lated being, confined to kindred asso
ciates and factitious joys behind those
monastic bars of gold which exclude
him as well from knowing mankind as
from frequent opportunity to assist
them. He is deprived of that en
larged sympathy, acquired only by
equal communion w ith all men, which
is the source of innumerable pleas
ures as it is the soother of innumer
able woes.
And the wife he takes to his bosom
—takes from the false world of the
drawing-room and weds in the fash
ionable church whose white marble
and stained windows inspire no relig
ion—what is she better? No sight
is more painful to witness than that
of such a woman, a pyramid of costly
stuffs, of feathers, silks and laces,
gliding down the pave with haughty
steps and ever-present consciousness
of self, beautiful as a peacock and as
vain, as if nothing stood between earth
and heaven but her ! Such a spec
tacle is painful because the woman
seems ignorant of all that is best in
herself—ignorant of that humility and
tender sympathy which lie deep in
every good woman’s breast, prompting
to the quiet performance of good
deeds.
It is painful and pitiful because it
forces doubts of domestic happiness,
and leaves us with the reflection that
when she dies she will leave nothing
valuable but her wardrobe. But the
born-rich is protected by his own sel
fishness, perhaps, from such trouble®
some thoughts as these. Ego is ever
uppermost ia his mind as in hers. —
For him men were made, not he for
men.
If you dispute the justice of this
conclusion, he is insulted; if you smile
upon him he frowns; if you court his
society he repulses you.
Thus is he condemned to waste
life, or to lose it, in ignorant selfish
ness, guiltless of plebian companion
ship; passing away, at last, from the
possession of wealth without having
made a sign by w'hich it may be
known he lived. Truly, there is
cause to pity him. ;
How different the fate of he .who
emerges from some lonely hut in the
wilderness, to wrestle with the angel
of life till day dawns on his triumph!
The struggle may be hard, but it ia
attended by collateral delights and
peculiar advantages.
His affections are not quenched but
enlarge with his experience. Every
where along the pathway of existence
friends are springing to meet him—
for none are too humble for his ac
quaintance, and from all he gains
much good, obtains many a rare gem
of knowledge to enrich his mind with*-
ail.
No well drilled exclusiveness makes
him afraid of the world; ’tis his fami
ly, and he loves it. The simplest
members of this family are not con*
temned, for contempt is a growth of
conventionality. He need take no
deep masonic oaths of brotherhood;
the very fact of his being pledges
him to fraternity. Every new ac
quaintance is an acquisition of profit
able pleasure; from every chat by the
roadside he gains something which in
after years will prove a pleasing ret
rospection, if nothing more. If any
despise him, he can afford to smile and
pity while he smiles, studying curi
ously, meanwhile, that anomaly in
dependent man which makes him
deem himself independent! If soli
tude be his portion, or contumely, or
neglect, he has sufficient company
and consolation in his own integrity
and in his own pure thoughts. The
glorious company of all the world s
NUMBER 2;
benefactors, poor like him, but more
unfortunate, except that they hare
lived, are with him always: he can
keep company with all the ages, and
enlarge this little circle of the present
to the full round of eternity. For
him Nature unfolds her book of beau
ty, from whence he may draw into
his soul the refinement of loveliness—
its philosophy and its poetry. Life
cannot bo a failure to such as he,
even if he fails to accomplish his fa
vorite desire, to enjoy a competence
and to die beneath his own roof.
He has not lived in vain who truly
lived, faithful to his own convictions,
tolerant of others, doing the duty that
lay nearest him, zealous for self-im
provement and the welfare of others.
The influence of such a man lives
after him—in his useful works, in the
memory of his friends, and in the
hearts of his kindred.
Yerily the wooden spoon is most
desirable after all!
THE HYDRAULIC PRESS
Tilings Pleasant to Mentions
The N. Y. correspondent of the
Illustrated London News , says, and
we believe truthfully, that not less
than three hundred thousand persons
in these United States preserve that
paper weekly; and these, too, of the
very best class of people. He finds
the News carefully filed in nearly all
the public libraries and reading-rooms
throughout the Union; and it occupies
a conspicuous place in all our first
class hotels.
Even in the most remote and diffi
cultly accessible mining villages and
camps of California tho same can bo
found, as our own experience testis
fies; its pictorial pages frequently be
ing used to cover the interior walls
of the miner’s log cabin home.
This extensive popularity with the
Americans is no doubt due, next to
its admirable illustrations, which fur
nish thousands of people their only
ideas of art, to the fact that no other
English paper devotes so much space
to trans-Atlantic affairs, or so correct
ly understands them.
The California papers say that
5,000 children visited Lee’s circus
at San Francisco at one time, not
long ago. What weary gold seeker
of 1849, as he trod over those hot
drifting sand hills of Yerba Buena,
ever thought te see them so blossom
ing with youthful human promise?
A sentimental burglar in New Or
leans entered the sleeping chamber of
a lovely girl to steal her jewels, but
preferred a kiss, and left an elegant
written apology for the sweet theft.
Thirty-five hundred children join
ed their little voices in choral harmo
ny at the Chrystal Palace, England,
on the occasion of a great musical
festival given by the “Tonic Sol-Fa
Association.
The Rosiere. —They hare a beau
tiful custom in tho villages around
Paris, of annually presenting to thef
most virtuous maiden a lovely rose,
offered as a prize for that purpose.—
The presentation is made by the most
respectable citizens of the town or
village, who also invest the fair re
cipient of love and virtue’s emblem
with a crown of roses, sometimes also
with a golden cross or a gift of mon
ey. The occasion is celebrated as a
public gala day, and the portrait of
the most virtuous frequently preser
ved in the town hall.
Infinite are the roads to fame.—
An Englishman by the name of Collet
distinguished himself bv paying all
the game fines which came to his no
tice, and now has a monument erect
ed to his honor, inscribed “to the
memory of the poacher’s friend.”
Some railway laborers in England
have presented Miss Marsh, the auth
oress, with an elegant Bible for her
kindness to them during their labors
on the Mid Kent and Chrystal Pal
ace railways.
Fainting in crinoline is so imprac
ticable that the actresses in Vienna
have been prohibited from wearing
that spreading evil.
