THEY'RE ALL DIGGING.
Original Song, dedicated to the gold diogers 81
Califorria's Diggfngs.
NY 5. 8. STEELE, DRAMAT1sr.
o, they're all digging, dig dig digging
After California gold;
They're all digging, dig-dig-digging
After California gold.
Mr. Smith and Mr. spriggins,
Merchants of the city grand,
All have left their native digginsj
To 60 digging in the sand;
The soldier dofts his feather now
For Feather Rivers shore,
And majors now turn miners,
To drill out the yellow ore.
And they're all digging, &C.
The farmer leaves his golden grain
To dig for grains of gold;
And his crops may get thrashing
From the dons and Indians bold.
The planter leaves his carrots
To dig golden carats rare;
But his head will burn quite carroty,
Ere he the dust will share.
For they're all digging, &c.
The lawyer leaves his pafchmen. now,
to parch amid the track,
And leaves the suits behind that he
May want when he comes back.
The surgeon leaves his bones and veins,
TO strike the veins Of gold;
But he may operate in vain,
And bleed himself quite cold.
Where they're all digging, &c.
The printer quits his types now,
For the type OF wealth to ply;
He leaves bread and presses where
His hopes may fall in pi.
To preach against this thirst for grain
The preacher follows next,
And digs for few Jumps Of gold,
To illustrate his text.
And they're all digging, he.
Some maids within certain age
Join Mrs Farnhanl's van,
And give up all their silver
To hunt golden man;
But if they bear the precious ore
Which in true woman shines,
They're better gold than man can pick
In California's mines.

An OPPONENT DIsARMEp.-Who has
not heard OF John Brown Of Haddington ?
His system of Divinity, his Dictionary Of
the Bible, but most Of all, his Catechism,
have made him widely known, especially
among Presbyterians. Though advanced
in after years to the post Of Professor of
Divinity in the Theological Seminary Of
the Associate Synod Of Scotland, his great
ness was not SO generally acknowledged
in his early ministry.
His first call, while yet licentiate,
was to the church in Haddington. 1t was
opposed by minority Of one, but, as is
sometimes the case, that one was host in
himself. His wealth, station and influ-
ence, made him an object Of fear to the
majority, who anticipated trouble from
him in the settlement Of Mr. Brown.
Previous, however, TO the ordination,
the young preacher was proyidentially
brought in the way Of his formidable OPP
ponent. Nothing daunted or disturbed,
he took him by the hand, and the follow
ing dialogue ensued:-
Broon. Pray tell me, MI Stuart, what
you have against me.

HOW many Miles Printers Hand Travels.

HOW niuny MICS PriHter's Hund TtaveIs.
Although a printer may be setting all
day, yet in his own way he is great trav-
eller, or at least his hand is, as we shall
prove. A good printer will set 5000
ems day, or about $4,000 letters. The
distance travelled over by his hand will
average about one foot per letter, going to
the boxes in which they are contained and
of course returning, making two feet for
every letter he sets. This would make a
distance each day Of $4,000 feet, or lit
tie more than nine miles; and in the

There is no situation in which the idle

CHtRfsH YOUR FRiEnb.--He who will
in any way take advantage Of one who has
confided in him, is not worthy the name Of
man. No crime is more base. You have
secured the affections of another: you
have sworn TO be his friend in prosperity
and adversely. Will you desert that
friend in the hour of trial? When dis
tress comes upon him, will you turn your
heart away? When misfortune clouds
his brow, will you make that cloud ten
times more dark? This is not true
friendship--it is not humanity. It is bru-
tal. If you have friend, stick by him.
Let him feel that he has one heart that
beats in unison with his own, and he can
never be utterly cast down. Long may
the storm beat upon him the blackness
Of darkness may gather about his heart:
but in your love he sees a ray Of hope !;
a CLEAN Of sunshine; spark Of real
warmth; and hope illumines his heart, and
gradually the storm and the cloud will dis
appear. .. never forsake friend who
loves you. Cherish him tenderly and TO
the close of life you will have consolation
that the ungrateiul heart is stranger to.

Answering our own Prayers.

In the vicinity Of B-, lived a poorb but
industrious man, depending for support upon
his daily labor. His wife fell sick, and not
being able to hire a nurse, he was obliged TO
conine himself to the sick bed and the rami-
ly. His means of support thus cut of, he
soon found himself in need. IIavinga veal
thy neighbor near, he determined to 60 and
ask him for two bushels of wheat, with a
promise TO pay as soon as his wife became so
much better tina, he could leave her and re-
turn 10 his work. Accordingly he took his
bag, went TO his neighbours, and arrived
while tie family were at morning prayers-
As he sat sat on the door stone, he heard the
man pray very earnestly that God would
clothe the naked, feed the hungry, relieve the
distressed, and comfort all that mourn. The
prayer concluded, the poor man stepped in
and made known his business, promising TO
pay with the avails of his first labor. The
farmer was very sorry he coald not accom-
modate him, but he had promised 10 loan a
large sum OF money, and had depended upon
his wheat TO make il out; but he presumed
neighbor - would let him have il.
With a fearful eye and a sad heart thepoor
man turned away. Ms soon as he left tire
house, the farmers little son stepped up and
said, - Father, did you not pray that God
would clothe the naked, feed the hungry, re-
lieve the distressed, and comfort the mourn
