CALIFORNIA EMiGRANTs.-If the news
brought by the Crescent Cily is all true as
reported, then the lslhnus route will be in
greater favor than ever. Scarcely letter
writer from Panama, but few weeks since,
wrote home to advise his friends to take any
other route but that, and now those same
correspondents, or their successors say
" take none but this way The friends of
the pilgrims who had gone in that direction,
had pretty much made up their minds that
they should see their fathers, husbands,
brothers, &c, again, and would have loved
them none the better, generally because they
came back, the land Of promise still unex-
ploreh, and with hands guiltess of gold
dust. But vessels have been crowdiug in
and out OF Panama harbor in rapid success
ion, and the crowd Is lessening every day,
while the faces of those who remain are
shortened considerably, their hopes Of de-
parturo being stronger every day.-.Nit.

Tobacco Chewing.

Oh cast aside that filthy quid,
Thy dirty mouth renew;
Go cleanse ii well with water pure,
Tobacco never chew.
1t spoils your health, it makes you weak,
It's the curse of every nation;
Oh cease to issue from your mouth
Such vile expectoration.
Meeting lawyer in street,
Don't ask, " What are you doing
On looking at his juice-stained lips
You'll find that he is still chewing.
You see some dozen in q court
Those who of learning boast,
You'd think the cause was to be won
BY him who spits the most,
Then cast aside the poisonous weed,
And wisdom learn to-day;
IT'S sure a suicidal act
To spit your life away.
