FEMALE TEMPER.

SENSIBLE REMAfKs.--The Boston OliUe
Branch thus sensibly discourses Of female
/ temper; ...,..
We like TO see woman, Of spirit and lie;
for dull, supine, prosy woman is poor al
fair indeed. And we have no particular OBJ
lection 10 seeing 'the sparks flying OCCASION
ally" when something stirring occurs. We
like to see her joyful and lively; and if she
has little spice of waggery, we can put up
with it very well; nay, we like it all the bet-
ter. Bpta cross, sour temper, we have no
good opinion of, for a woman who can never
look pleasant, but is salways fretting and scold-
ing, will make an unhappy home for all with
in her house. And we had as lief undertake
to live in a barrel of vinegar in a thunder
storm as TO live in the house with such wo-
man. Solomon was right when he said, ''It
is better TO live in the corner of house top
than to dwell in wide house with a braw-
ling woman.o I. ..r.t.. ..F r.... rar.
Let woman wear sunshine on her coun-
tenance, and it will drive the dark clouds
from her husbands face, and Joy will thrill
through the hearts of her children. Let
woman's words be soothing and kind, and
every thing is happy around her. Her inau-
ence will be powerful. Others will catch
her sweet temper, and all will strive 10 see
who can be most like her. Sweetness of
temper in a woman is more valuable than
gold, and more TO be priced than beauty
But may Heaven keep us from an untamed
shrew whose looks are wormwood and whose
words are gall! We had rather take Daniels
place with the lions, than think of living
within gunshot of such termagant. If wo-
men knew their power and wished TO exert
it, they would always show sweetness oftem-
per, for then they are irresistible.
"Iocal Itemsn of the Trenton Gazette is
very clever in dishing up his paragraphs.
The following is one of his Byronic laments
over the arrival of some Italian organ grin
ders
Italia oh Italia! thou who hast
The fatal gift of music which thy sons
Grind out for pennies to the gaping crowd
OF dirty urchns of stale plebeian blood,
Fed from the fount of freedom. Why dost
send
Thy lazzaroni to our peaceful shores,
To din the public ear with horrd sounds,
And make us hate thee with a bitter hate
To see thy wild band.it,i loaf from State to
State

NEWS FROM CALIFORNIA.



FIFTEEN DAYS LATER,
aRRFY4L OF THE PANAMA ar PANAMA
The steamship Panama leit San Francisco on
the 18th uls. and arrived at Panama on the 4 inst
By the arrival Of the brig Mai. Eastland at this
port from Chagres, we have che papers brought by
the Panama
The Eiecti0n.-The Alta California, for the
steamer Panama, gives the following account of
the election, which took place on the 18Th New:
The day YVES a very disagreeable one, and I'M
doubtsdly prevented many from attending the polls
The recent rains having rendered the streets almost
but when we add to that fact the hurry and hustle
the day, the wonder 10 that SO many ballots were
to the election that about FIVE thousand votes would
be polled but the poll list shows only about three
| thousand two hundred.
Judging from the returns given below, we should
say there is not much doubt that Pel3r A, Burnett
! is elected Governor, and John McDougal Lieuten-
ant Governor. The Congress ticket is a matter of
much greater uncertainty, but the result here would
seem to indicate the election of Price and Wright
The regular democratic ticket for State Senators
| and Assemblymen is elected by large majority,
and it is therefore certain that Mr.. King will get
no support from the District Of San Francisco I'm
der these circumstances, we regard it as certain
that he will not be returned to the u. S. Senate.
The election passed of very quietly and orderly.
The electioneering was animated, but the greatest
good feeling and good humOr prevailed throughout
notwithstanding the lain and mud was a severe ia !
| upon the patience Of all.
