Among those who have left friends and home
to seek their fortunes in California, there may
ptrhaps be some whom disease will consign to
the grave. Should such unfortunately be the
ci-e. it might readily be inferred into what cur
rent the thoughts of a dying man would turn
when far away from those he loved best. With
some slight alterations, I have made the sub
joined pertinent to our locale , which may possi

readers who are devotees of the muses.

r MIRY ME BACK.
Juniata's woods were clothed in gren,
When from ray home I turned,
With hope to win a golden store,
My youthful passion burned.
I'm dying now in a foreign land,
Life's cherished dream is o'er;
Oh. carry me back to Mifflin's vales,
To Juniata's shore.
I'm dying, dying all alone,
And not a friend is near ;
No brother's voice, no sister's sigh,
Fails on my dying ear.
Oh, for a heart (hat loves me now,
Ere life's wild dream is o'er ;
To carry me back to Mifflin's vales,
To Juniata's shore.
I: may not be—'neath distant sky
Oh, let me gently sleep,
Where Sacramento's golden waves
To ocean's bosom sweep ;
And there in slumbers soft I'll lie,
And dream for ever more,
That you earned me back to Mifflin's rales.
To Juniata's shore.

TraiisplaiiliDe Evergreens.
Il seems not very material whether ever
i green tries are transplanted iu April, Mnv,
or June. They may be made to five in
either of these months when they aie pro
perly taken up and set; and as tt isall impor
tant to take up h sod with the tree, it mat
he as well to transplant this Uir.d early in
the season before ploughing commences.
It is not necessary t take up along root
with a fir, a hemlock or a pine ; but it is
absolutely necessary to lake up a sod with
I the roots: and a ode will adhere to them
i better at this season of the year, tbsn
when the earth is mote dry.
There is not much risk in taking fire
• from good nurseries, for the multitude of
i fibrous roots that are found in every di
rection hold enough earth to insure their
growth. But pines or firs taken from for
ests have but very few roots, and they need
more care.
The bark that covers the roots of pines
and other evergreens is very thin syjd ten
1 der, and when the trees aro pulled up and
set, as we set apple trees, the bark comes
off, and not one tree in fifty survives.—
j I.rAig roots are not needed, and the trees
may be taken up by cutting around at a
distance of twelve inches fVoia the trunk,
I
when that is not more than five feet in
height.
These trees and clumps of earth may i>e
set when the earth is wet, for there is not
the same need of spreading out the roots
i and keeping them separate, as there is
when trees are taken up without earth.—
Yet it is important in all eases to keep the
, earth loose, and light, and free from weeds
around them.

with sadness—to wipe the tears from the j
cheek of the widow—and to change the ,
notes of mourning into those of joy.
CHEERFULNESS.
A man, who uses his best endeavours
to live according to the dictates of virtue
ant} right reason, has two perpetual sources
of cheerfulness, in the consideration of his
own nature, and of that Being on whom
ho has a dependance. If he looks into
himself, he cannot but rejoice in that ex
istence, which is so lately bestowed upon
hi in, and which, after millions of ages, will
be still new, and still in its beginning.—
llow many self-congratulations natutally
arise in the mind, when it reflects on this
its entrance into eternity—when it takes a
view of those improvable faculties, which
i in a few years, and even at its firs-t setting
out, have made so considerable a progress,
i and which will he still receiving an increase
of perfection, and consequently an increase
;of happiness ? The consciousness of such
a Being spreads a perpetual diffusion ofjoy
through the soul of a virtuous man, and
makes him look upon himself every mo
merit as more happy than he knows how
to conceive. The second source of cheer
itilness to a good mind is, its consideration
; of that Being on whom c have our de
pendence, and in whom, though we behold
him as yet but in the first faint discoveries
of his perfections, we see everything that
we rail imagine as great, glorious, or ami
able. \\ e find ourselves every where up
held by his goodness, and surrounded with
an immensity of love and mercy. In short
we depend upon a Being, whose power
qualifies him 'o make us happy by an in
finity of means, whose goodness and truth
engage him to make those happy who de
sire it of him, and w hose unchangeable-
will secure us in this happiness to all
eternity.
Ho who has love for nature can never
be alone. In the shells he picks up on
the shore —in the leaf, ladmg at his feet—
in the grain of sail i and the morning dew
—he sees enough to employ his mind for
hours. Such a mind is never idle. He
studies the works of bis maker which he
sees all around him, and finds a pleasure of
j which the devotee of siu and folly can
form no conception

THE SLANDERER.
'Tis wondrous strange, and yet 'tis true,
That some folks take delight
The deeds of other men to \ lew,
As if their own were right.
And if a piece of news comes out,
They'll eagerly pursue it;
And hand the charming dish about,
And add a little to it.
Each fault they'd try to magnify,
Vet seeming to bemoan,
The motes within a brother's eye,
Are blinded to their own.
And if a brother chance to stray,
Or fortune on him frown,
Though humbled in the dust he lay,
The text is " keep him down."
They'll preach up penance with a sigh,
To cure, or nothing can—
Sufferings are good, I'll not deny,
But not when sent by man.
Bach worthy deed is now forgot,
As if not worth retaining ;
But ()! ict failings fill the pot,
And slander sucks the draining.
1 i ler the dregs he draw s it out,
Delighted with her labors,
Then bears the charming swill about,
To treat her trusty neighbors.
'.Neath friendship's mask she often lurks.
And smiling fawns around jou ;
Concealed, she more securely works,
And kisses, hut to wound you.
Detested pest of social joy,
Thou spoiler of life's pleasures !
Like Sampson's foxes would destroy,
What's more than all our treasures.
T n E HASHISH.
, SINGI l.\k t'l TECTS or AN ORIENTAL DRUG.
Aw riter in Chambers Journal recalls
the public attention to tho singular effects
of this drug, the produce of tho Indian
hemp, which particularly in 1* raoce, sinco
IS4<>, has been n matter of interest in Ms
connexion with medicine. French au
thors of distinction have published me
moirs on the subject ; M. Virey attempt
ing to prove it tbc Nepenthe of Homer :
S\ Ivestro de Sacy finding it in the charms
I practised by the Assassins. But the au
thor Theodore Gautier, has given the most
! wonderful account ol its effects —from his
| own sensations.
" The Orientals" says he, " have in con
sequence of the interdiction ol wine, sought
that species of excitement which the west
ern nations derive from alcoholic drinks. —
The love of the ideal is so dear to man
that he attempts as far as he can, to relax
the ties which bind the body to the soul;
and as the means of being in an ecstatic
state are not in the power of all, one per
son drinks for gaiety, another smokes lor
forgetfulness, a third devours momentary
madness ; one under the form of wine, the
other under that of tobacco and hashish."
He then proceeds to say, that a few min
utes after swallowing some ot the prepara
tion, a sudden overwhelming sensation
took possesion of him. It appeared to him
lhat his body was dissolved, that he had
become transparent. lie clearly saw in
his cheat the hashish which lie had swal
lowed, under the form of an emerald, from
which a thousand little sparks issued—
j His eye-lashes were lengthened out in

around ivory balls, which turned with an
inconceivable rapidity. Around him were
sparkling precious stones of all colors,
changes e'ernally produced, like the play
of the kalirdoscopn. lie every now and
then saw his friends who were round him
disfigured--half men, haif plants, some
with the wing of the ostrich, which they
were constantly shaking. So strange
were these, that he burst into fits of laugh
ter ; and to join in the apparent ridiculous
ness of the -affair, he began throwing the
cushions in the air, catching ami turning
them with the rapidity of an Indian jug.
gler. One gentleman spoke to him in
Italian, which the hashish transposed into
Spanish. After a few minutes he recover
ed his habitual calmness, without any had
efiect, without headache, arid only a-.tcn
ished at what had passed. Half an hour
had scarcely elapsed before he had fell again
under the influence ol the drug. On this
occasion the vision was more complicated
and more extraordinary. In the air there
were millions of butterflies confusedly lum
inous, shaking their wings like fans. Gi
gantic flowers with chalices ol chrystal,
parities upon beds of gold and silver, rose
and surrounded him with the crackling
sound that accompanies the explosion in
the air ol fire-works. His hearing
acquired new power ; it was enormously
developed. Ho heard the noise of colors.
Green, red, blue and yellow sounds reach
ed In in in waves. A glass thrown down,
the cracking of a sofa, a word pronounced
low, vibrated and rolled within htm like
peals <>l thunder. His own voice sounded
so loud that he feared to speak, lest he
should knock down the walls, or explode
like a rocket. .More than five hundred
clocks struck the hour with fleeting, sil
very voices; and every object touched
gave a note like the harmonica or yfColian
harp. He swam in an ocean of sound,
where floated, like isles of purest light,
songs of'- Lucia di Lamrnermoor" and the
•'Hartier of Seville." Never did similar
bliss overwhelm him with its waves ; he
was lost in a wilderness of sweets ; he was
not himself: he was relieved from con
sciousness, that feeling which always per
vades the mind ; and for the first time he
comprehended what might be the state of
existence ol elementary beings, of angels,
of souls separated froui the body : all his
system seemed to be infected with the
fantastic coloring in which he was plunged.
Sound, perfume, light reached him only by
minute rays, in the midst of which he
heard magic currents whistling along.—
According to his calculation this state last
ed abiut three hundred years; for the
sensations were so numerous and hurried,
one upon the other, that a real appreciation
of tune was impossible. The paroxysm
over, he was aware that it had lasted only
a quarter of an hour.
ALLIGATOR FIGHT. —Among the un
welcome incidents attendant upon the cre

wotkmen cannot of course proceed with
thoir laboi with any degree of calmness,
while under fear of losing a legal a sin
gle snap of an alligator's jaws, and there
have been tights of a furious character.—
Some nights since a huge specimen, some
15 feet lung, got under the floor of a hut,
where a number of negroes were sleeping
and after tossing up the door, gave battle.
Two dogs flew at him and were crushed
instantly, and blows fiom an axe were
showered upon him with no effect. The j
conflict looked serious against the negroes, j
when one of them fortunately thrust a
lighted brand down tho monster's tbroaf,
which killed him.

WHERE THEY LEARN IT.
'I don't see where my children learn
such things,' is ole of the most common
phrases in the mother's vocabulary. A lit
tle incident, which we happened to be an
et c witness to, may perhaps help to solve
the enigma. We smiled a little at the
time, have thought a good deal since, and
we trust not without profit.
'Bub,' screamed a little bright eyed girl,
somewhat under six years of age, to a
younger ; who was seated on the curbstone
making lusty pudding of the mud in the
gutter —'Bub, you good for nothing, dirty
little scamp, you larnal imp of a child,
come right into the house this minute, or
I'll spank you till the skin comes off!'
'Why, Angelina, Angelina, dear, what
do you mean ; where did you learn such
talk V exclaimed her mother, in a wonder
ing tone, as she stood on the steps cour
tesying an adieu to a friend.
Angeline looked up very innocently and
answered—'Why, mother, you see we're
play ing, and he's my Utile boy, and I'm
scolding him just as you did me this morn
ing, that's all.'
'TAINT LIKE.'—A- certain lawyer had
his portrait taken in his favorite attitude

f lis friends and clients all went to see it,
and every body exclaimed,
'Oh, how like ' it's the very picture of

An old farmer only dissented—'Taint

j Exclaimed everybody, ' Just show us
where taint like.'
'Taint—no taint!' responded the farmer,
adding, • Don't you see, he has got his
, hand in his own pocket; it would be as
' like again if he bad it in somebody else's.'
An old bachelor being ill, his sister pre
sented him a cup of medicine.
' VVhat is it V asked he.
She answered, ' It is elixir asthmatic, it
is very aromatic, and will make you feel

are very sister-rnatic.'
' Mister, I say, I don't suppose you dor.'i

Boiliiig Water.
We wish to correct one mistake that
prevails among many of our housekeepers,
which is, that the hotter the fire the hotter
the water that is boiling over it. Now. :
the boiling point of water is two hundred
and twelve degrees, and hotter than thai
it cannot be made, in an open vessel, or in '
one covered with a loose lid, however
great the fire under it may be. As soon
as water reaches the temperature of two 1
hundred and twelve in the ordinary state
of the atmosphere, it commences boiling,
and any increase of heat under it only
increases the evaporation, without in any
manner changing the temperature of the
water. After reaching the boiling point,
water is changed into vapor or steam,
which absorbs the heat as fast as it comes
in contact with the water, and immediately
carries it oft'into the atmosphere, combined !
with water, in the form of vapor.
