The Idle Hoys.
Hardly a hundred years hnve passed
Since 1 was gay ns yoq,
When earth was ever gieen to mo,
And ►ki'*s were ever blue;
And I lotted the summer brook,
And the forest's autumn hue.
But, tinv*, flint brings some change to all.
Hath wrought much change wall me ;
An*l in many
The boy 1 used to be,
When, years ago, I loved to play
Beneath the spreading tree.
Care ha.-* net overshadowed mo,
Nr sorrow been my lot;
And I have spent some pleasant hours
Too briglii 10 be forgot;
And forged strong chains, that bind me to
This din nnd earthly spot.
My best and earliest friend is deud,
Untouched by stain ol sin ;
Put they still live, whose memories
Light up u love within—
Hope live.*, and holds the laurel out
That 1 would die to win!
For a wide future is before—
My heart leuts high tor thine;
And 1 have learned to breath with love
The music ol h *r name,
Writ on th • table sol my heart
In syllables ol flame.
Oh ! little thought have ye of all
That comes m alter yeais,
To stir the spirit with a spell
Oi changing hopes and tears;—
To rum all the tancy work
That dreummg b* y.ioo*l rears!
Piny, while the glad hours spaikle by
J * he tuc hubbe's of a stu-uiu;
Pi:.y on —the woild may be to you
Ail that il now may seem ;
Love may 1101 oe a phantasy,
Nor fame an idle dream*:
There is a beautiful thought ii the fol
lowing from Sergeant i'ahourd’s ion
It is a little thing
To give a cup ot water, yet its draught
Ol cool refreshment, drained by feveiei lips,
May 9**l Ia shock ol pleasure to ill*- soul
More exquisite than w! ;t nectarioua juice
Renews u>e l fr~o* joy in Happiest hou*s.
‘Pis a httle thing to speuk some common word
Ol cormort. wmeh hath almost lost ns use,
Yet oil the cur ol him who thought to die
Unmoumed, ’twill full like choisest music.

Chinese customs*
While our Minister (Cu.s.llll/) iv.is at Ciii
-11111, a Chinese dinner iv.is given to him hy
j the Imperial Commissioner, Ke Ying. One
; of the guests at the table gives an amusing
1 account of lhe reception and of the dinner.—
Die Rev. Or. Parker, wno is spoken of us one o.
tlie guests, and wno acted us interpreter, was
bred aud educated at Framingham, Mass.—
The account says:
The entertainment was given in the Tem

a small village of llie same name jusi beyond

and a company of Portuguese soldiers, iron*

i'hree of the mandarins attached to Ke-\ mg’s
| suite received the company at tlie entrance of
j Ibe Temple, saluting them cordially in Cln
i nese style, by joining and snaking their hands
I and bowing to them gracefully. Conducted
j by them, tue Americans were shown into tlie
I presence of Ke-Ying. surrounded hy his re
! mauling officers, in one of tlie inner apartments.
! t'liey advanced to meet the party as it entered
| the room, anil alter another general salutation.
; similar to the former, tlie visiters were seated
and tea. made by pouring boiling water upon
a lew leaves, was served in covered cups, witli
! out milk or sugar, neither of widen are used in
iea by the Chinese.
A large coue.ll, having a small low table in
lhe centre, and a cu hion on each side, occu
pied nearly the whole end of tlie room oppo
site the entrance, and chairs and tea poys were
arranged alternately oil the sides in Chinese
style. Two pannings on glass, beautifully ex
ecuted, and a set ot scrolls at tlie back of tlie
couch, were the only ornaments ujion the
I walls.
Ke-Ying seated Mr. Cushing on his right.
, iijkiii tlie couch, observing, as ne did so. tout

At the eonelu*ion of edeh cour*e the plate*

The repast ended with a thin soup, similar
to chicken broth, of which the < limcse and
American Commissioner* purlnok from the
huiiic bowl. Although hut tilth wine or Niini-
Shim was drunk through the dinner it was not
because the Chinese leured or disliked their
v lice Is, u* they urs loud of merry meeting*,
and they invariably insisted on bumpers when
drinking with nny guests. Complimentary
tonsts were given hy both parties and after
sitting at table about an hour, the company
rose and with a general shaking of their own
hands at each other by tlie Chinese and Amer
ieans, tlie guests departed in their sedan
chairs us they came.
Do not Dkspise Small Things. —The
possibility of 11 great change being introduced
ny very slight beginnings may be illustrated
hy tlie tale which Loekman tells of a Vizier,
who having offended his master waseomlemn
ed to perpetual captivity in a lofty tower. At
night his wife came to weep below his window.
“Cease your grief,” said tne sage; “go homo
for the present, and retu i hither when you
have procured a live black beetle, together
with a little I fhet- (or bufi'alo’s butter ) three
clews one of the finest silk, another ol’ stout
pack-thread and a lothcr of whip-cord ; finally,
11 stout coil of rope.” When site again “ume
to the foot of the tower, provided according to
her husband’s commun is, he directed her to
touch tii” bend of the insect with a little of the
to tie one cud of the silk thread around
him, ami to place tlie reptile on lhe wall of the
tower. Seduced by tlie smell of tlie butter,
which lie conceived to he in store somewhere
above him. the beetle continued to ascend till
he reached The top. and thus put the Visier in
possession of the end of the silk thread, who
drew up tlie puek-thread by means of tlie silk,
the small cord by means of the pack-thread,
and, hy means o! the cord, 11 stout rope capa
ble of sustaining his own weight—anil so at
last escaped from the j lace of his duresse.—

Marie Antoinette. — It was in the year
1779. that I painted lor the first time the por
trait ot'the Queen then in the flower of youth
and beauty. Mane Antoinette was tall, ex
quisitely well made, sufficiently plump, with
out being too much so. Her arms were sujierb,
her hands small, perfect in torn), and her feet
charming. Her gait was more graceful than
that of any woman in she held her
head very erect, with a majesty which enabled
you to distinguish the sovereign amidst all her
court and yet that majesty did not in the least
detract from the extreme kindness and benev
olence of her look. In short, it is extremely
difficult to convey to uny one who has not seen
the Queen any idea of all the graces and all
1 the dignity that were combined in her.
Her features were not regular; she derived
j from her family that long, narrow, oval fuce pe
culiar to the Austrian nation. Her eyes were
not large, their color was nearly blue, and they
■ had an intellectual and mild expression; but the
nose was thin and handsome. Her mouth was
not large though the lips were rather thick.
But the most remarkable tiling about her face
wras the brilliancy of her complexion. I never
l saw any so brilliant —yes, brilliant is the word
—for her skin was so transparent that it took
:no shade. Hence I could never render its ef
fort so as to please myself; Hacked colors to
represent that freshness, those delicate tones
, which belonged exclusively to that fascinating
’ face, and which 1 never observed in any other
| woman.
As tor her conversation it would be difficult
for me to describe all its grace, all its benevo
lence. Ido not think that Queen Marie An
toinette ever missed an occasion to say an
agreeable thing to those who had the honor to
approach her.— Souvenir* de Mail. Ltebrun.

An Incident at Incarnation. — A volun

ter the retreat of Bantu Anna. He suys:
“On the Ist and 2ml instant 1 accompanied
an expedition u.der the command of Cols.
Belknap and Uisscll to li tear n item a, where we
found a wretched sis-ctnelc—several hundred
Mexicans wounded attended by gaunt, lean,

a stoic s fortitude and a smile of most tor,, hing
sweetness. His features were classically 1m *
tiful, and his head such as Spurzhcitii would

j us left him to his destiny with a pang of regret
! that such a vision ofbeanty and heroism should
;he so transitory to our senses. The conduct
of our men and officers to the enomys wounded
nnd to prisoners, both on the held of battle
and after the conflict was such as to make me
proud of my countrymen.”
California—its Soil and People.
Much has been said recently respecting the
soil ofCalifornia. its extraordinary’ fertility, itc.
audit may not he amiss, therefore, to let one
who has lived in the country twenty-two years
narrate what he knows from nctunl experience.
The intelligent Monterey correspondent of the
Philadelphia American, from whose letters we
have extracted very frequently of late says: —
“I feel myself liound as a lover of truth to
warn all and every persons wishing to emigrate
to this country, be aware of some pamphlets
that have been published, both by Americans
and Mexicans, within the last three or four
years concerning the extraordinary fertility of
the soil; otherwise on their arriving here they
may be disappointed.
“I was led to mention this warning, from hav
ing a pamphlet, now before me. written by
Don Manuel Castanares, who went to Mexico
in the year 1843. as representative of Califor
nia. This gentleman does not scruple to say,
“the land ol California is so-surprisingly pro
ductive that, wheat commonly yields crops of
from four hundred to six hundred for one of
sowing, and maize or Indian corn from one
thousand to twelve hundred bushels for one of
seed, and beans from five hundred to seven
hundred for one of seed.” Now as I should
be very sorry for any family well situated iu
life, to sacrifice their property in America for
the purpose of emigrating to California, un
der the expectation of making an independent
fortune in one or two years by agriculture,
from having read such a pamphlet as this,
which will no doubt find its way to America,
i l a very short time, if it is not “already there.
1 shouhl wish this gentleman, as well us some
who lmw published before him, hail aeen a
little m >re explicit. For instance, if lie had
nd he had seen a gram of wheat yield one
thousand o, two thousand fold, or a grain of
corn yield tiiree thousand fold, or a bean yield
tnree hundred fold, all these I have seen my
self; hut still it does not follow that a field
ow i with either of these different kinds of
grain should yield in the same proportion.—
f ’.at the sod would yield, under the hands
if an American agriculturist double the quan
tity of produce front the same quantity olseed,
it at present yields, 1 have not the leist doubt,
but still the account given by Castanares is
exaggerated at the very least 100 per cent.
‘Not only this but all parts of California are
not equ din the fertility of soil. To the south
ward of San Luis Obispo, the farmers consid
er ti.at they have a good crop of wheat if they
gather thirty bushels for one of seed. Beans,
corn, peas, melons, pumpkins. &c. &c., yield
well all over California hat the most fertile
land is from San Luis Obispo, to the north
ward.
I have mentioned the above as an example
that people may be on their guard; because I
have already seen some of the persons who
came over in the last company, who stated
to me that they bad been persons do,
and that nothing in the world had tempted
them to sell oil'their property and emigrate to
California, but the reading of a small book
published by an American ifho had visited
California, and that they had been most egre
giously disappointed.
■That the fertility of the soil inmost parts
of California is most extraordinarily rich no
person can deny, or that its variety of soil and
climate, which last is in all parts excellent,
will enable it to produce an innumerable vari
ety of vegetation is likewise not to be denied;
but as 1 wish to represent things as they real
ly are ; and as l have no interest whatever in
deceiving any one, 1 shall contradict such ab
surdities whenever 1 full-in with them.
Kpeakingof the improvidence of the people
of California, the same writer remarks:
‘‘They have not the least forethought; they
will not look one day ahead. The greater part
of the natives 1 think I may say, without ex
aggeration nineteen-twentieths of them.—think
j of nothing in the world hut gambling, dress,
horse-riding, women, and stealing to maintain
these vices.
There are many persons who have Large
tracts of beautiful and fertile lands, containing
from three to eleven square leagues, and the
man who cultivates twenty aeres of it, with
out taking the trouble to fence it, is considered
among them an extraordinarily industrious
man, & at the same time, wereit not for the In
dians who work abwut the farms for little or
nothing (ami generally geteheated out oftliut,)
there would be no land cultivated in California;
and I have never seen in any part of the coun
try, since the missions have been secularized,
a superabundance of provisions; not because
the ground will not produce, but because the
people are so indolent and careless thut they
wilt not take the trouble to look after it; ami
more than half the produce is eaten up by the
cuttle before it becomes ripe.
The current price of wlieut, lor the the last
eight or ten years, lias been, and now is, two
dollars per fan'ga —a funega being nearly two
bushels —and flour two dollars for twenty five
pounds, or per arroba. One funega of wheat
will give one hundred pounds of flour. The
expense of grinding, bolting, 4.C. seventy
five cents, mul one arrobu of Hour made into
bread, will turn out three dollars mul fifty
1 cent.;; here we see one hundred pounds of flour
oi intlier one funega of wheat turn in thirteen
dollars and silty cents, exclusive of bran,
Now if we deduct the cost of the wheat which
is two dollars, and one dollar and fifty Cents,
for expenses or grinding baking, ic. we
shall find a clear profit accruing to the owner,
of eleven dollars on one fanega of wheat. No
doubt my readers will say. how is it possible
i Unit any body can be poor in this country ?
1 answer the same as before; that industry is
unknown in California. If a native should be
: going any where on business of life and death.
I mid there should huppeu to be a fandango at
any house on his road, he would us seon ti.ink
of committing suicide as to puss without stop

Discovery of a Singular Race of People.
The Christian Observer, of Calcutta, gives
, notice of n singular race of people called Ca
tliis, who inhabit a part of Guzerut. They are
worshippers of the sun as are the adoring Par
’ sees:
“These are siip|sisrd by some to be the an
cient Cathie, who in the times of Alexander’s
invasion occupied a portion of the Punjuub,
near the confluence of the five rivers. Among
the Cal bus there are no distinctions of caste.
Besides priests, they have un official dims of
persons culled bin ds, wlio possess authority al
most equal to the Druids. They become secu
rity (iir the payment of debts, the conduct of
individual* who have, and the appearance of
persons in |>cnding actions either civil or critn
null. Ou the same terms they conduct travel
lers and caruvuns through districts infested
wnli robbers, or in a state of war. If a troop
of predatory horse appear, the bard commands
them to retire, and brandishing his dagger,
lakes a solemn oath, that if they plunder the
persons under his protection, he will stub him
self to the heart, and bring upon their head
the guilt ol shedding his blood. Such is the
I veneration in which he is held as a prison of
celestial origin, and such is the horror at be
ing tlie cause of his death, that the threat in
1 utmost every instance deters them from mnkiug
| the meditated attack, and the parly is allow ed
ito pass ou unmolested. The religion of litis
people consists of little else than an udorutiou
j of the sun.
