And though, perhaps, I never can cross tho yel
low lido;
The yellow tldo of riches, tho brighter ono of
lovo ;
But, ah 1 nlast there still Is ono other barrier
more.
That harrier Is my own pride, a pride 1 cannot
tnmc.
And though we nro parted over, you are not to
blame,
Ah, no I not you, but others I ono word congeal

Swept tho happiness of a llfo-llmo before It llko

Ilovotheo! yei, I lovo thee! thine Image is cn-
graved on my heart,
Icury It always with mo and from It I no'er
will port.
Part from It? upon my pillow my weary eyes I
close,
But my soul Is gazing on tlico long, long, ero I
repose.
And often In my slumbers I dream I'm by thy
side.
Pressed fondly to thy bosom, hoping to be thy
bride.
But, oh 1 the waking tells mo lhat this cm never
be.

For his lovo grew until to a mouutalii It growed.

Ln secret he wanted to speak aud ho spoke,
To seek with his Bps what his heart long had

So ho managed to let the truth leak uud It loke.
Ho asked her to ride to tho church nnd they rode.
They so sweetly did glide thatthey both thought
they glode,
Then homeward, ho said, let us drive und they

And soon as they wished to arrive, they arrove j
For whatcverho couldu'tcontrlve.bho controve,
Tho kiss ho was dying to steal, then ho stole,
At the feet wheie ho wanted to kneel, then ho

And ho rnld, "I feel better than ever I folo."

Beyond the realm of broken ties,
To fill tho wants that mock us here,
And dry the tears from weeping eyes j

An undertone to care nnd strife,
And tender eyes upon me shine,
As from a being glorified ;

And I forget that thou hast died ;

But, mother, art thou living yet.
And dost thou still remember met

Without a thought of pain or death;

Ancient and Modern YVn.rlnrc.
Tliovery striking differences exist be
tween tlio mode In which war was car
ried on ln ancient times, and thai In
which It in conducted ln modern. Tho
first of theso la that tho vast nrmaments
of which we read as having been brought
Into tho field by Scmlranils, Seaostrlsi,
Xerxes, and others, In which tho num
ber of combatants was estimated by
hundreds of thousands, and oven by
millions, were, In reality, composed of
a host of non-combatants, ns well as of
combatants. Xerxes, It is said, led an
nrmy of 2,000,000 men Into Greece, yet
It does not appear that ono lentli of that
number took part In tho battle of Mar
athon, which eirectually checked his
aspirations for n while. Tho Greek
nfmy thero engaged consisted of 30,000
men, heavily armed and well disciplin
ed, drawn uplna8trong position, and
ably ofUcered. Not ono of thorn was a
useless man or an incumbrance. But
tho Persian host was mado up of about
400,000 fighting men, lightly nrmod and
indifferently led, whllo tho remainder
wero slaves, cooks, barbers, aud every
species of camp-followers, together with
tho throng of personal attendants, mala
nnd fomalc, of "tho Great King" nnd
lils court, to say nothing of innumera
ble horsos, mules, camols and other nn
Imals reeiulred to drag these luxurious
revellers and their baggagofrom Persia
to Greece. Now it Is evident that It
required far moro to feed and clotho
this hordo of supernumeraries than tho
fighting men ; indeed, making duo a!
lowanco for Oriental exaggeration, It
may well bo doubted whether tho
numbers who iiccompauicd Xerxes did
amount to 2,000,000 or oven half that,
though soino nceounts go tho extrava
gatit length of 0,000,000. They might
havo subsisted on the fertile plains of
sla Minor, but when they reached tho
rugged mountains nnd defile of Thrace
and Thessaly, It mutt have gone hard
with them to procure supplier. And,
doubtless, this was why, after wittiesj
ing tho destruction of his licet at Sula
nil?, Xerxes hastened back to Persia,
leaving his generals to ptusecuto tho
war, with 300,000 men, the vast bulk of
his non-combatants returning with him
lie was beaten by want of supplies.
quite as much as by the heroism of the
Greeks. Now, if wo can suppose lhat
this system of carrying about with an
army a hordo of "useless mouths" pro
vailed nt tho prraent day, and that tho
King of Prussia had collected half Ger
many to follow him to the war, would
ho havo achloved one-tenth part of
what ho has? Would not tho very
numbers ho brought with him have lm
peded and stopped his operations? Yot
this was tho ancient modo of carryitig
on war, until tlio ureeKs anil tlio Ito
mans, but especially tho latter, invent
eel tho military organization, upon
which modern armies aro based, where
by all useless bauds aro relegated to tho
rear or left entirely behind.
Tho seconu or tneso inherences con
sists in a practice which has been very
much 'lost sight of when comparisons
nro made between tho sanguinary re-
suits of ancient and modern battles.
The slaughter was much greater In an
dent conflicts In proportion to numbers
than it is in modern. It is a common
thing to nttributo this to tho system of
hand-to-hand fighting which then pro
vailed. Tho only projectiles tho nn
cientH had wero darts, arrows and
stones, but theso were not effective at
long ranges, and, indeed, wero general
ly successfully resisted by shields of
rhinoceros skin, or of tough leather,
studded with nails, and by armor, of
ion helmets and breastplates. This Is
Insufficient to account for tho very dis
proportionate losses wo almost alwayi
find recorded between tho victors and
vanquished, tho dlfTeronco being some'
times twice or thrieons great. Tho truo
reason of this dilferonco is that whe
tlio vanquished wero driven off tho
field tho victors put to death tho wound
ed of tho enemy whom they found on
tho ground. Thus up to n certain point
In tlio coulllet tho losses might hav
been nearly equal In killed anil woutie

ono party tlio victors recovered tliel
own wounded and killed tho-oof the!
adversaries. Lat it In supposed that
10,000 killed and 2(1,000 wouudo.l had
fallen on each side until victory w
declared, the victors would then recov
er their 20,000 wounded and kill tho
20,000 of their oppnents, and tho losses
would then stand 10,000 to 30,000. How
different is tho modern system 1 A do

Tito Social .Spirit of Sun rriui-
clsco.
Tho main characteristics of San Fran
cisco, as compared with tho Atlantic
cities, aro that hero the pcoplo aro
lumper and ruddier In nppoaranco,
thero aro fower efforts at display by tho
rich, and fower indications of severe
poverty among tho poor, tho colors and
patterns of dress aro plainer and the
material richer, nnd tho stranger is met
with moro cordiality. ThoCallfornians
often complain that pcoplo In tho East
seem to bo afraid of compromising
themselves by civility to now acquain
tances. Moro regard is paid thero to a
man's position and less to his Intellec
tual valuo. Socloty Is slow to admit
now comers without indorsement by
sorao established authority. Thero is
nn atmosphero of reserve that is do
signed to prcservo tho higher circles
from tho contamination of unkuown
applicants for admission.
Tho cool climate of San Francisco re
quires active oxerciso for comfort, and
gives a fondness for out-door oxerciso
nnd for amusement. With us thero Is
no interruption ln enjoyment. No ox
trcmo heat or cold puU n stop to our
lively season. In Eastern cities thero
nro many weeks of lassitude, when no
ono wishes to mako any intellectual or
physical exertion moro than Is requi
site, as a matter of business, and this
Iassltudo shows itself in tho nppoaranco
of tho pcoplo on tho streets. Sacramen
to In tho summer, resembles tho small
er cities in tho Mississippi Valley In tho
mattor of heat, nnd a lady from that
placo says sho likes to como hero for a
few days at n time, becauso tho cllmato
is bo oxhllirating, and sho feels llko
spending all her tlmo in amusements ;
but sho would not wish to livo hero bo-
cause sho should be out all tho time, and
would neglect her children and house
hold. In S.m Francisco tho ladies follow tho
European stylo of dressing in plain col
ors on tho street, whereas In New York
nnd Chicago, tho colors aro often bright
and gaudy, and several Inharmonious
tints may be seen mixed upon tho samo
person. Something of tho difference Is
duo to tho coslneso of our summers,
which do not permit tho uso of dresses
very light either In color or texture. In
Eastern towns and cities, poor women
and girls aro often seen In tho street
without shoos or stockings, but never
hero. Tills poverty may bo honorable,
but It attracts tho notice of Californlnns
at onco.
Fifty leading men from Front and
California streets put down amidst tho
Chicago Board of Trade would bo read
ily distinguishable by their plainer
dress from their Lako Shoro brethren.
On ono side of tho continent thero is
moro plainness nnd moro dovotlon to
enjoyment ; on tho other there is moro
stylo and moro effort to nppear aristo
cratic. Perhaps wo see theso things
through tho eyes of prejudlco; but as
wo do seo them, wo confess a decided
preference for the social pplrit that pre

Among tho many dlshonests trades
carried on in tho city or New York,
that or swindling tho unwary by means
of circulars offering counterfeit money
for salo seems to bo tho most successful
In sentencing two counterfeit money
swindlers to six months on Blackwell's
Island, tho Judge of tho criminal Court
of New York stated recently that In
forty-soven days tho prisoners had ro
ceived thirty thousand dollars from
their dupes. This disclosure convoys
an unfavorablo impression also as to tho
morality or tho country, nnd would
seom to provo that moro persons than
aro commonly imagined havo no Eenso
or tho dishonesty Involved In tho pas
ing or counterfeit money. Very fre
quently also tho purchasers do not ob
tain oven tho counterfeit notes for
which thoy transmit tho gonulno mon
ey, tho sellers either paying no atten
tlon to tho order or delivering a pllo of
blank paper, with ono gcnulno noto
laid on top. In spite, however, of tho
frequent disclosures of theso frauds, tho
ignorant and greedy still offer them
Helves as fair game for tho swindlers in
Now York, who, not content with tho
field of labor offered In tho United
States, havo now oxtended their opera
Hons to England. Thus tho London
Times says, that a person In Now York
pretending to bo a tobacconist, has sent
out to England, circulars, marked con
fldentlal, offering counterfeit sovereigns
"mado of aluminum, round in the
Rocky Mountains," nt two pounds
sterling, for twenty to fifty pounds, for
flvo hundred of theso counterfeit -'ohis
Tho aluminum sovereigns, tho circular
says, aro so good In nppoaranco, color
and wolght, that experts aro taken in
Tho persons desiring such sovereign
nro requested to sond their orders and
tlio money In form of orders for smok
ing tobacco, nt prices according to tho
enclosed list, nnd no person will bo nl
lowed to buy moro than flvo hundred
Tho Loudon Times thinks that only to
bacco will bo sent for tho monoy, and
calls tho plan a very clevorswlndlo. It
Is much moro likely, howover, that tho
Englishman who sends over his fifty
pounds, will obtain neither tho aluml
num sovereigns nor tho tobacco.

Tobacco for flic Soldier
If there bo ono fact, says tho London
Lancet, that has been moro frequently
stated than another, It is that tho sold
iers engaged in thu war, well or wound
ed, seek tho solacoof tobacco. Tho In-
habitants or every nation manifest sim
ilar instincts, and one or tlio strongest
is this desiro to seek outsomo substance
tho uso or which may ttiruulato or
soothe tho nervous system. There U
no deprivation which thu habitual, t
though not excessive, smoker reels -.o
much as tho loss or tobacco ; and sohl
iers or all nations, especially or the-
French and German nations, smoke it.
It was 'a standing injunction of tho
Firt Napoleon that his troops should
havo tobacco, und they found it of tho
greatest advantage In tho retreat from
Moscow. Wo havo been accustomed to
look upon the German as fond of hard,
Intellectual toil for its own sako; and
men or abstraction and imagination, ir
wo may Judgo from tho prevalence or
the practlco of smoking among them,
unquestionably appear to ilntl an niel in
tobacco. But tho manhood of Germany
has risen llko a giant refreshed to un
dergo auy physical exertion and hard
ship that may bo required; and this
war has taxed tho physical energies or
tho strongest.
Tho soldier, wearied with long march
es und uncertain rest, obtaining his food
how and when ho can, with hU nervous
system always in a stato or tension
rrora tho dangers and excitement ho en
counters, finds that his cigar or plpo
euables him to sustain hunger or ratiguo
with comparative equanimity. Ex
plain it as wo may, this Is physiologi
cally truo; and medlc.il officers who
would not bo sorry to tico tho Issue or a
"spirit ration" discontinued, nro com
pelled to nllow that tbo moderato usoor
tobacco by soldiers In tho field has sov-
eral advantages. For the wounded It is
probablo that tobacco has slight ano
dyne and narcotic properties, that ena
ble tho sufferer to sustain pain better
during tho day and to obtain sleep dur
ing tho night.
Hard on Editors. Soon after
Clilof Justico Chaso assumed tho guber
natorial chair in Ohio, ho Issued his
proclamation appointing n Thnnksglv
Ing Day. To make auro orbelngortho-
dox, tho Governor compose! his proc
lamation almost ontlroly or passages
from tho Blblo, which ho did not desig
nate as quotations, presuming that ev
ery ono would recognize them, and nil
mlro tlio fitness of tho words an well ns
his tasto In their selection. Tho procla
mation, meeting tho oyo or a Demo
cratic editor, ho pounced nt onco upon
it, nnd declurod ho had read It beloro
couldn't exactly say whero but ho
would tuku his oath that it was a down
right plagiarism from beginning to end.
That would havo been ti pretty fair
Joko; but tho next day tho Republican
editor camo out valiantly In defonso of
tho Governor, pronounced tho charge
libelous, and chulenged any man living
to produco ono single lino of tho procla
mation that had ever appeared In print

ir tlio wedding tnkc3 place In tha
church, it Is customary to reserve tho
front scats ln tho body or tho church
for tho relatives of tho young couplo.
it is tho height of rudonoss for any
one, whether clergyman, bridegroom,
or nny member of tho bridal train, to
kccji tho brldo waiting. Tho clergy
man, should bo within tho rails, tha
bridegroom and groomsmen should be
In tho vestry-room, by tho tlmo tha'
tlmo tho brldo Is duo nt the church. Tha
bridesmaids may receive tho brldo la
tho vestibule, or may accompany hor
lo the church,
Tho bridal party should meet in tha
vestry-room. Then tho brldo, loaning
on the orni of her rather, heads the pro
cession ; the bridegroom, with the
bride's mother upon his arm, follows
then the groomsmen nnd bridesmaid"
In couples follow.
At tho altar, tho bridegroom receive
the Ik tile, and tho ceremony begins.
Tho groomsmen stand behind the brldo.
Tho brldo and bridegroom romovo tha
right hand glove In some churches; la
others It is not deemed ncces-nry. The
brldo stands on tho loft of tho groom.
When tho wedding takes placo at tha
houo of the bride, It Is customary to
divide thy room either by folding doors
or a curtain, nnd allow tho bridal party
to be grouped beforo their rrlonds sea
them. If, however, this Is not conve
nient, thoy enter in tho same order as
in church. It. "is somewhat customary
of lato for tho brldo and groom to wait
arm-in-arm to thonltar; but it is against
established etiquette ;tho bride should
walk with her father, or, ir orphanod,
with whoover takes tho father's placo
on tho occasion.
Whero a ring is used, It is tho duty
of tho first bridesmaid to removo tha
bride's left hand glove.
After tho ceremony, tho brldo and
groom go in tho samo carrlago from the
church to tho house, or from tho houso
to tho railway depot. IT thero Is a
breakfast or supper, tho brldo does not
change her dress until sho assumes hor
traveling dress.
If parties ore given to the brido and
groom, tho bridesmaids and groomsmen
must also bo invited, and if they prefer,
all may wear tho dress worn at the wed
ding. This Is, howover, optional.
During tho fortnight following tha
wedding, friends of tho family should
call upon tho mother of tho bride.
Ic is contrary to etiquette to wear
mourning to a wedding. Evan in tha
case of a widowed mother to either of
tho happy pair, it is customary to wear
gray, or somo neutral tint, upon tho
wedding day, evon if tho deopeit
mourning is resumed afterwards.
It is not etiquette, at a wedding or
wedding reception, to congratulate the
brido ; it is the bridegroom who receives
congratulation; to tho brido wishes
for her future happiness. A gentleman
or lady who Is acquainted with both
bride and groom must speak first to tho
bride ; but if a stranger to either, may
first speak to the ono with whom he la
already acquainted who will then lntro
duco tho other. If a stranger to both,
bride und groom, tho first groomsman
must mako tho introduction. By-laica

S.iiuebody a man of course inquired
u ny, when Eve was manufactured rrora
the sparo-rlb, a servant wasn't made at
the s.imo tlmo to wait on hor? Somo
body elto a woman, wo imagine re
plies in the following strain :
"Bec-itno Adam never eamo whining
to Eve, and with a ragged stocking to
bo darned, collar string to bo sowed on,
or a glove to mend, 'right away, qulcfe
now I' Because ho never read tho news
papers until the sun got down behind
the palm trees, and then stretching him
self, yawned out, 'Ain't supper most
reatly, my dear '." Not he. Ho mndo
tho lire, and hung the kettlo over It
himself, wo'll ventuio, and pulled tho
radishes, peeled the potatoes, and did
everything olso ho ought to do. Ho
milked tho cows, fed tbo chickens, and
looked after tho pigs himself. Ho nev
er brought homo hair a dozen rriends to
dinner, when Eve hadn't any fresh
pomegraultes, and tho mango season
was over. Ho never stayed out to n
ward meeting till eleven o'clock, hur
rahing for tm out iiutl-outcandldatound
then scold becauso poor Evo was sitting
up and crying inside tho gates. Never
played billiards, rolled ten-pins, and
drove fast hordes, nor choked Evo with
cigar smoko. Ho never loafed round
comer groceries whllo Evo was rocking
little Cain's cradle ut home. In short,
he didn't think that sho was especially
created fur tho purposo of waiting on
him, and wasn't under tho impression
that It disgraced u man to lighten a
wlfu's cares. That's tho icason that
Evo did not need a hired girl j and with
it, was tho reason that Ijor fur descend
ants did."
Sparrows. Did you over hear It ro
htted that Frederick tho Qreat, King of
Prussia, was very fond of cherries?
Well, ho was ; ho had a posltlvo weak
ness that way. Ono day ho found tho
sparrows had begun to nibble away at
somo of his favorite fruit, and ho offer
ed n bounty of six farthings a braco for
all birds of tho sparrow tribe. Now,
when tho king said "St-boy I" it was
enough. Tho crack of tho gu was
heard oil over Prussia, until the modest
llttlo sparrows wero annihilated. In
less than two years thero was scarcely
a cherry In all Prussia, and all other
fruit buffered lu proportion, Tho trees
wero literally overrun with caterpillars
and completely stripped or their leaves;
Insects had Increased to a most enor
mous extent, Tor other birds hud been
frightened nwuy by tho trusiulo against
the sparrows. Tho king did not, how
ever', admit ho had made a. mistake;
but ho know that tho sparrows would
never return of their own accord to tha
end of time, Tho spiurow,)ou know,
Is ono of the most sedentary or tho
feathered trlbo; ho does not llkosto
travel nnd will not do It to pleivo any
