Tn T certain part of the Western Country. where ratfle-snakes abound, there lived a family. consisting of a f.a her and mother, and several grown up boys; all of whom were grossly in emperate and profaoe. perfect nuisance to civilized society. On certain occasion. one of tie sons was so unfortunate as to receive a severe bife from one of his neiehbors and associates, q rattle-snake. The bite it was supposed, would soon prove fatal to the lad, and he, together with the Test of the family, became excessively alarmed, in prospect or the future destiny which 1t Was supposed awaited the invalid. He became alarmed 10 such degree, that he appeared to manifest symptoms of repentance for bis past crimes and msdemeanors, and It Was agreed by the family to send for Elder w. to come and converse and pray with him Who was bitten. The Elder came forthwith, and having conversed d short time with the young man. became satisfied that he had been bon again. and was pretty sure ot heaven Ii he did ] not live too long. The Elder. therefore, went to prayer; and in his address to the throne of Grace he laid before his Lord and Master all the circumstances of the case clearly and definitely that he could not be mistaken, Dor traying in the mean time, the atrocious char ic CT of each member of the family; after which he used the following language: 70 Lord do send more snakes in this neigh
 borhood. Jo has been bit, and it has brought
 him to sense of his sins, and to repentance
 Lord sen6 more rattle-snakes. Let them bite the old man and the woman. Thou knowest who and what they.are. o Lord send snakes, and let them bite all the family then, andl not till then, will they repent and turn to thee. Amen.

CALIFORNIA.

The latest news from California and the Gold Biggings is not very favorable, It seems that the gold is not obtained without much hard labor. Many of those who went out expecting to find gold so plenty that they would have nothing to do but go about and pick up the Jumps, at the rate of twenty-five, fifty, or hundred dollars per day, are most grievously disappointed. One. of the gold seekers, who went out with the Holyoke com pany from Northampton, writes back that California is one of the greatest humbugs he has ever seen. This puts us in mind of a sto- ry that we once heard of a woman from the Old Country, who said that when at home, she had often heard 1t said that in America there was an abundance of everything--that tallow grew upon the bushes, and you had only to go and scrape it off, to get as much of it as you wished. The tallow here spoken of is the tallow or wax found on the Bay-ber- ry bushes. When she arrived in stcate Amer iky she found a very different state of things from what she expected. Although there was an abundance of everything, without work 1t could not be obtained at al ct al ;: there was tallow growing on the bushes sure enough, but then to get u of cost about as

DRINKING TO SUCCEss.---A certain reformed inebriate, who was rather ignorant, once at. 'empted to make a speech in favor of the cause of Tenn Ferance. His object seemed to be to show the evil effects of drinking cider in excessive quantities. "Gentlemen." said he, :" know a man who drinks a great deal. of cider; l don't know hcw much, but he drinks great deal he drinks 10 success'- The burst of laughter With which this an- nour~ement was received had such an effect upon the feelings of the orator, that he was obliged to sit down.

CITY COIRT.

Most of our readers in Norwich probably remember the case of the young man, who was arrested, and brought before the City Court some time in September, if We recollect righ", charged with resisting the Mayor who attempted to arrest him while marching
 through the street with the "Shect Iron Band ' At that trial he was not convicted; the jury could not agree, and it was supposed that
 here wsuld be no further proceedings against him but it seems that this system of perse- cution that had been commenced. was not to end here. Last Monday he was again brought before thc Court, to be tried for the same of fence Messrs. George and Edmund Perkins were for the prosecution in this case, and Mr. Foster was counsel for the defendant. An account of this trial, which is crowded out ol our columns this week for want ofroom, will appear in the next number.

SEVERE .RETORT

A man who marries rich wife must ex- pect to have it occasionally flung in his teeth We have heard of retort, however, which, we should think, mnst have forever silenced such thrusts. A gentleman, who hadluhe misfortune to marry fortune, was once ex- hlbltlng the fine points of his horse to friend. " = My horse, if you please said the wife, " my money bought that horse." Yes, mad am" replied the husband, lowing, "and your money bought me too.'

 work, and if they go to another factory they
 would be no better off than where they were at first Great efforts have been made for a few years past, to ameliorate the condition of the heathen' in foreign countries. These eff
 forts are worthy of some praise, but we should
 bear in mind that charity begins at home first.
 Let the good man-the philanthropist, visit ourfactories where the operatives are required .to work fourteen hours day. Here he will see the need of reform,--wen may he weep
 over their condition Is it right, is it just, that Ia large part of mankind should be obliged to toll from morning until eight o'clock at night, day after day, for just barely enough to support them, with no time for rest or recre- 'ation but the Sabbath, and for the purpose of supporting in grandeur and idleness the lords

 look to political parties for help, they are too
 often headed by crafty, ambitious and selfish men, whose object is to promote their own in-
 terests, while the dear people are left to take care of themselves Sometimes, however their rule of action has been-take care ot

 poor. In many workshops mechanics arc re- Iquired to work but ten hours a day, but in others they are compelled to work from twelve to fourteen; and We hardly know of a single
 factory where the ten hour system is estab- Iished. Much yet remains to be done.
 Mechanics and Laborcrs to you we look

Gold in California will be pretty much like the tallow on the bushes, that is 1t will cost as much to collect it as it is worth. Those who write from the mines say that they would advise no one to come there but those who expect to do hard work. As far as the profits are concerned, it appears that some of the miners do very we'll, while others do not earn
 any more than they would here. -:.

As an illustration of the truth of this remark, he quoted an instance of two goats In his own parish, that once met upon a bridge so very narrow that they could not pass by without one pushing the other off into the river.
