We love a unassuming young
man, wherever we find him—in the coun
ting room or law office—at the bellows or
crank—at the roll-stand or type case—on
a calm-bank or on the pulpit. Among a
world of brass ; and bold impudence, he
stands forth an honor to himself; show
ing to others that ho at least has had a
good bringing up, and knows what be
longs to good manners. Ask him a ques
tion, and he will hot look cross enough to
bite you. {f you are looking for anything,
he will take pains to find it for you if he
can. ~
When in company with others, he does
not usurp all the conversation, and en
deavor to call the attention of others to
himself, by hoistorous language. He lis
tens attentively to his seniors, and mod
estlv advances his opinions. We love
such a man—We do: sincerely—and his
company wje highly prize. If he meets
you in' the street, bo pleasantly bows, and
bids you good mining. You do not find
him standing at: the corners, using pro
fane words,' pr see him standing at the en
trance of churches on the Sabbath. He
quietly enters his pew and takes his seat
without a flourish. He goes to hear, not
merely to see. Such young men there
are in the country and in the city. We
often see them., You will find them in
some of yoiiri printing offices, work-shops,
and other places, where to earn one’s liv
ing is honorable. When they came upon
the stage of active life, they must succeed
—it cannot he otherwise. We would give
mere for a modest, unassuming man, for
all the practical business of life, than for
a score of brassy, impudent rascals, who
are net worth the bread they keep from
moulding, f'" ' j

latore’i) Music.
There’s sweetness in the opening flower.
There’s beauty in the rose;
A melody hi the evening's breeze
That though the foliage blows;
There’s music m the warbling song,
At matin’s pleasant hour,
When pouring forth its notes of joy
From some secluded bower.
What beauty ’tU when Phoebus gilds
The hills with colors bright.
What majesty when Jewels deck
The firmament of night,—
Then streams and take thro’ shading trees,
With fdlveiy light do gleam,
As riplhig waves reflect the glance
Of Luna’s beauteous beam.
There’s music on the heaving main.
When angry waves do rise—
When o’er the crossed billows foam,
The seas gull swiftly flies;
Or rising high on pinions light,
He screams amid the roar,
As breakers dash in maddened glee
Like thunders on the shore.
There is beauty in all nature,
Sublimity and might—*
When darkness dwells upon the earth,
And reigns supreme «t night.
Wiien tempests' rock the forest pine,
When echoing thunders roll,
When vivid lightning’s Winding flash
liriuga terror to the soul.
Oh! lot us read In nature’s book.
Of heaven's bounteous love.
Of oil the gifts ,<3dd showers us,
In wisdom (nun above.
And in our hearts emotion, then,
Of gratitude shall rise,
And thanks be rendered unto Him
Who mode the earth and skies.
Dq They Miss Me at Home I
Do they misa me at home?—do they miaa mo?
’T would Ik* au osauronco moat dear
To know that my mime u aa forgotten,
Aa though I had never been there;
To know that the tailor and landlord,
And the banka where my paper ia due,
And hoata that-1 cannot now mention,
Had bonuhed mo quite from their view.
Do they miaa meat home ?—do they miaa mo
When market for money la tight.
And cullectora in haate are pursuing
Their debtors by day and by night ?
Do the frieuda who-once loaned me a “fifty,"
And the othpr who loaned me a “ ten,"
Heave a sigh of regret as they miaa me,
And wish they could see me again?
Do they miss me at homo ?-r-do they miss me
Where no longer Tin seen upon ’Change?
And do thane who were wont to assist me,
Say, “ Ilifl conduct's infernally strange ?”
Does the Shyluck who loaned mo his money,
To-bear me torogions unknown.
Look in vain for occasion to dun me,
And wish 1 again were at home ?
Do they miss me at home?—do they miss me?
’Twould ho an assurance most dear
To know that my name was forgotten,
As though" 1 had never been there.
But I kuov that my menory lingers
Around the dear place aa 1 roam.
And while Pro my wiu and my creeper*,
They’ll miss me—they'll nu*» mo at home!
A Modest Young Man.
[independent in everything.]
A gentleman who was riding in the
cars, noticed a bright little fellow, between
five and six years of age, sitting with his
father and mother, and engaged in the at
tempt to unloose the knot of the string
that bound a small parcel. The knot had
become well compacted, and the child’s
tiny fingers seemed to make no impression
thereon. The patient earnestness of the
little fellow was contrasted with the appa
rent indifference of his parents, who looked
on, but made no attempt to assist him.—
At last the gentleman, whose sympathies
with children were -warm, could bear the
sight no longer; Sb, partly, to help the
child, and partly to rebuke the parents,
he took out his knife and handing it to
the boy, said :
“ Here, my little fellow, try the virtue
of a sharp blade. You can not untie the
knot!”
Something to his surprise, the knife was
not taken ; but instead, the child answered
with a smile—
“Please, sir, father .don’t allow me to
say 1 can’t; belong to the “ Try Company.’”
“Indeed!” said the gentleman, as he
drew back his hand.’ “ I never heard of
that company before.”
“ Oh, I’ve always belonged to it. Have
I not, father ?” and the child turned, with
an expression of loving confidence in his
face, towards his father.
“ He’s a worthy member of that excel
lent association, sir,” remarked the father,
now speaking to the gentleman, and smi
ling in a pleasant way.
“ Ah, I understand you !” Light was
breaking in upon his mind. “ This is a
part of your discipline. You never per
mit your little boy to say I can’t.”
“ Hut, instead, I’ll try, sir.”
“ Excellent,” said the gentleman.—
“ Excellent! Here is the way that men
are made. It is the everlasting I can t,
that is dwarfing the energies of thousands
upon thousands all over the land. A fee
ble effort is made to overcome some diffi
culty, and then the arms fail wearily, and
the abandoned.”
“ And who is most to blame for this ?”
was inquired.
“ Parents,” was the unhesitating reply.
“ Parents who fail to cultivate patience
and perseverance in their children. Pa
rents who carry them when they should
let them walk, even though their feetmay
be weary. I see it all as clear as light,
and see my own fault at the same time.—
I cut the knot of difficulty for my children
every day, instead of requiring them to
loosen it themselves. But, sir, they shall
join the “ Try Company” after this, i’ll
have no more knot cutting in my house.”
How is it with you, reader, child or
man ? Arc you a member of the “ Try
Company ?” If not, and you have any am
bition to be something more than a drone
in the hive, join it at once; and*from this
time forth never let the words “ I can’t”
find a place on your lips.
Not only does the light fly from the
grand “ ruler of the day,” whith a veloci
ty which is a million and a half times
greater than the speed of a cannon ball,
but it darts from every reflective surface
with a like velocity, and reaches the ten
der structure of the eye so gently, that, as
it falls upon the little curtain 'of nerves
which is there spread to receive it, it im
parts, the most pleasing sensation, and
tells its story of the outer world with a
minuteness of detail and a holiness of
truth. Philosophers once sought to weigh
the supbeara. They constructed a most
delicate balance, and suddenly let in upon
it a beam of light; the leaver of the bal
ance was so delicately hung that the flut
tering of a fly would have disturbed it.—
Everything prepared, and grave men took
their places, and with keen eyes watched
the result. The sunbeam that was to de
cide the experiment had left the sun eight
minutes prior, to pass the ordeal.- It had
flown through ninety-five of miles
of spaco in that short measure of time,
and it shot upon the balance with unaba
ted velocity. But the lever moved not;
and the philosophers were mute.
A Child’s Sympathy. — A child’s
eyes—those clear wells of undcfiled
thought—what on earth can be more
beautiful ? Full of hope, lore and curi
osity, they meet your own. In prayer,
how earnest, in joy, how sparkling, in
sympathy, how tender. The man who
never tried the companionship of a little
child, has carelessly passed by one of the
greatest pleasures of life, one passes a
rare flower, without plucking it or know
ing its value. A child cannot understand
you, you think; speak to it of the holy
things of your religion, of your grief for the
loss of a friend, of your love for some one
you fear will not love in return; it will
take, it is true, no measure or sounding of
your thought; it will not judge how much
you, should believe whether your, grief is
rational in proportion to your loss—
whether you are worthy or .fit to attract
the love which you seek —butlW whole
soul will, incline to yours, and. engraft
itself, as it were, on the feeling ibr the
hour.

The Terrible Heat In California.
The Santa Barbara Gazette of the 22d
of June says:
Friday, the 17th June, will he long re
membered by the inhabitants of Santa
Barbara, from the burning, blasting heat
experienced that day, and .thei effects
thereof. Indeed, it is said that for the
space of thirty years, nothing in compari
son has been felt in this country, and we
doubt, in any other. The sun rose like a
ball of fire on that day j but though quite
warm, no inconvenience was caused there
by until two o’clock, P. M , wht.n suddenly
a blast of heated air swept through our
streets, quickly followed by others, and
shortly afterwards the atmosphere became
so intensely heated that no human being
could withstand its force-—all sought their
dwellings, and shut the doors and
windows, and remain for hours confined
to their dwellings. The effects of such
intense and unparalleled heat was demon
strated by the death qf calves, rabbits,
birds, &c. The trees were all blasted,
and the fruit, such as pears and apples,
laterally roasted on the trees ere they fell
to the ground, and the same as if they had
been cast on live coals.
But stange to say, they were only burn
ed on one side—the direction whence
came the wind, All kinds of metal be
came so heated, rthat for hours nothing of
the kind could Be touched with the naked
hands. The thermometer rose nearly to
fever heat—in the shade. Near an open
door, and during the prevalence of this
properly called sirocco, the streets were
Hilled with impenetrable clouds of dust, or
pulverized clay. Speculation has been
rife since to ascertain the cause of this
terrible phenomenon; but though We have
beard of many plausable theories thereon,
we have not been fully convinced yet: how
ever that might be, we see its terrible ef
fects all round us, in blighted trees> ruined
gardens, blasted fruit, and almost a gen?
eral destruction of the vegetable kingdom
here. We hope we will never see the like
again.
Since writing the above, we regret to
announce, that the' sirocco was not, as we
hoped, local; but the Los Angelos was
visited the same day by similar blasts, and
more intense, if possible, than were expe
rienced here; and that not only the fruit
trees are injured, but the vineyards are
reported as nearly all destroyed. The
general opinion, that the cause is fire in
the mountains'-is now abandoned; and the
belief is that there hat been a volcanic
eruption in the Southern portion of this
State.
Can Any One Tellf
Can any one tell how it is, that during
these hard times, when every merchant,
manufacturer and mechanic is doing his
utmost to keep his nose above water, our
numerous drinking saloons ore well sus
tained, and even new ones starting ?
Can any one tell why men, who abso
lutely cannot pay bills, can always
find plenty of money to buy liquor and
treat when happening among friends ?
Can any one tell how young men who
dodge ther washer woman and are always
behind with their landlords, can play bil
liards day and night, and are always ready
for a game of “ poker” or “ seven up ?”
Can any one tell lawyers who have
no cases, and doctors who have no prac
tice, manage to make the ends meet, or
meet the ends ?
Can any one tell how men live and sup
port the : r families, who have no income
and do not work, and why others who ate
industrious, and constantly employed half
starve?
Can any one tell how it is that a man
who is too poor to pay three cents a week
for a good weekly paper, is able to pay
fifteen cents a day for tobacco and cigars,
to say nothing of an occasional drink ?
Can any one tell what interest we have
in asking these questions Which we know
no one can answer ?
Caught Napping. —A Scotchmen and
an Irishman were sleeping together. The
weather being rather warm, the Scotch
man, iu his sleep, put his leg out of bed.
A traveller, in parsing the room door, saw
him in this situation, and having a mind
for a frolic, gently fixed a spur on saWney’s
heel, who, drawing his leg into bed, so
disturbed bisicompanioa that he exclaim
ed : :
“ Arrah, have care of your groat
toe, for you.have forgot.to cut your nails,
I believe.” M
The Scotchman being sound asleep,
still kept on j scratching Pat, till his pa

rousing Sawney, who not a little siurprised
in finding the spur on his heel, loudly ex
claimed ; I 'lt'-
“ Hell the dafe chief of an 'ostler,

BUxlar up the f
The Watorville (CaL) Journal contains
the following:
“Some time ago there was a dancing
party given “up north;’* most of thela
dies present had little babies, whose noisy
perversity required too much attention to
permit the mothers to enjoy the danoe.—-
A number of gallant young men volun
teered to watch the young ones while the
parents indulged in a “ break-down.”' No
sooner had the women left the babies in
charge of the mischievous devils, than
they stripped the babies, changed their
clothes, giving to one the apparel of ano
ther. The dance over, it was time to got
home, and the mothers hurriedly took each
a baby in the dress of her own, and start
ed some to their homes, ten or fifteen
miles off, and were far on their way be
fore day-light. But the day following
there was a prodigious row in that Settle
ment —mothers discovered that a single
day changed thesex of their babies; obser
vations disclosed startling physiological
phenomena; and then commenced some of
tbo tallest female pedestrianism. Diving
miles apart; it required two days to unmix
the babies, and as many months to restore
the women to their naturally sweet dispo
sitions. To this day it is unsafe for any of
the baby mixers to venture within the ter
ritory."
Waggery.
Some time ago, one Sunday, we wended
our way to one of our churches, and in
stead of a sermon heard an address upon
some missionary or other benevolent sub
ject. After the address was concluded,
two brethren were sent round with the
basket for contributions. Parson L., who
was one of the basket bearers, taking the
side.upon which we set. Immediately in
front, and upon the next seat, negligently
reclined our friend Bill H., a gentleman
of infinite humor and full of dry jokes.—
Parson L. extended the basket to - Bill,-
and slowly shook his head.
“ Come, William, ghre us something-/'
said the Parson.
“.Can’t do it,” replied Bill.
“ Why not ? Is not the cause a ; sotttT
one ?”
“ Yes; but I am notable to gitfe adVK
thing I”
_ “ Poh! Poh I 1 know better; yotfmdkl
give a better reason than that.”
“ Well, I owe too much money—l miikt
be just before I am generous, yotf know.”
“ But William, you owe God a‘ larger
debt thau you owe any one eiscl”
_ “ That’s true, Parson; but then ho
ain’t pushing me like the balhnce ofmV
creditors!”
The Parson’s face got into rather »■ cu
rious condition, and he passed on.
