LADIES, AWAY!


BY TIMOTHY LINKENWATER, ESQ.
Middle-aged, young and old, away
While bright the sun shines, make your hay,
Cm singing you no idle lay)
Get ringlets false if hair is grey,
List not what truant lovers say
Or recoliect some future day;
The marriage flag is up, l warn ye-
Headquarters lie in Californy!
In that fair region, am told,
By handfll< you may clutch the gold,
Each lady's love is bought and sold,
CAh! shame tl.e secret to unfold)
Only BE- hii,k We what fold
Of virtuous lambs ye may behold;
Oh! leave those loose lads, who but scorn ye;
Pick up your duds for California!
No maiden but can make a shift
To leave the lov'd one: if he's miffed,
Tell him you don't comprehend his drift;
He has no siere the gold to sift-
Bid him Ould Nick give him lift
Come Fanny Essler DER him swift
And point him to the Cornucope,
The emblem ofa California
The Doctor leaves his box of Pills
Cordwainer cries, have boots who wills
The Clerk is shrieking,- the tills,-
Goods benssn on him who fills.-
On yeoman's hearth the Gold-cry thrills,
He leaves the flock upon tke hills;
From Gaspe westward to Port Sarnia,
Outbursts the cheer for California.
Ger ocean sweeps, the SONS Of Zealand
And joyous whalers cry, they see land
The GEL Dorado" gained, the free band
Adieus bid to Captain Demand
The gallant ship rots oil the lee land,
Her pennon laved by surge OH The strand;
AS sure as mothers ever bore ye,
Husbands has ,iz in California!
ladies fy!-propilious hour
The Californian builds the bower,
And sighs for one on whom to shower
His dust of gold-oh! precious dover!
Ye may be sweet-ye may be sour
1t matters not to reckless woer:
Hasten, hasten, quick warn We,
Short, fat, and tall, for California!

Our Paper.

It afforded US much satisfaction during our
absence to learn the high position occupied by
the Journal where it is known abroad. The
natural modesty for which we are ndivid-
ually remarkable, and which has been re-
fined to the utmost delicacy by consummate
art, and the natural effect of our business
generally prevents US speaking of the Journal
in those high terms of eulogy it so richly mer-
LIS! Yet when these eulogies come from the
lips of others, we think silence on our part
would be criminal injustice to the Journal
An Editor has love for his paper, natural
and warm as father for his offspring or ii
devoted husband for his wife. Indeed, we
view the Journal as our wife, and for want
of another, we have vowed internally and
eternally to love, cherish, and protect her ;
and she shall be our only wife TIL we place
her above all prospects of want. But this is
say, that while in the upper cities, everybody
appeared to know the Journal. and we receir-
ed warm satisfaction from the high testimo-
mails accordedit Our contemporaries, who
are probably the best judges Of papers
worth, sign fed more particularly their friend
ship for the Journal and its Editor, by pub
lie notices and they are daily noticing it il
perhaps stronger terms, by literally extracting
from its columns. Another thing-it is al
most an invariabe remark from citizens o
this place abroad that the Journal can ht
found almost everywhere. They may visi
the Reading Rooms, the Hotels, the Printing
Offices, of many of the prominent cities in th'
country and there they will find the Journal
Some of these Rooms and Hotels are regua
subscribers, yet we send to many gratuitous
ly. being determined that the Journal and tn,
city it represents shall be thoroughly known
abroad.
Without meaning to disparage our sub
stantial State newspapers, which are rs ablI
conducted as those of any Western State
we ask comparison Of the Daily, Tri- Wcekl'
or Weekly Journal, with The best prints il
Indiana. We are gratifed to state that tht
comparison is being made, and that the cir
culation of the Daily and Weekly Journal i
steadily on the increase. Other papers ma,
rise and fall IN EvansvIle-it is and will -
the same with Us. Having a paper now i
its sixteenth year, there are none TO quesio
its stability We hope and ask that its pat
ronage may increase, promising what GU
patrons must perceive from the past, will b
tie history of the future, that no endeavo
shall be lost, to make it in every department!

EvansvilIians Abroad.

Last week we met four prominent citizens
of Evansville, at the Burnet House, in Gin
cinnati. They were intensely watching The
movements of the writers, and evidently
greatly impressed with all they saw going
on about them. They seemed to behave
themselves very decently, or at least they did
as well as they knew how, which was very
proper in them, and highly commendable.-
They were all in good state OF health, with
the exception ofol little man who was pain
fully crampng his feet in IA terrible pair oil
stogas, with the vain endeavor to make his
extremities look small. He WAS o. course IN
state of great torture. Ore of the Judges
appeared 10 be smelling with the good living
at the Burnet House, an1 as he was large
before, may be expected soon to set up oppo-
stion to the Kentucky Infant, if he remain at
Cincinnati long The other Judge was be-
coming very careful Of his dress and evident
ly seemed bent on making a strike somewhere.
But his tall, good-looking friend. now on his
way East, was keeping sharp and LAWFUL
inspection over ;he Judge, and lis 10 be hoped
nothing serious wIll occur.
We were rather astonished though Mt the
verdancy Of these representatives of our thri-
wing city. While we were all sitting ut the
door OF the Burner, discussing cigars and that
houses disputed claims TO superiority over
the Sherwood of this city, a respectfully
dressed old lady, came up, and in piteous
tone said she was on her way 10 Pittsburgh
and "the Captain " charged her five dollars
which she wished TO assist in making up BY
a generous donation of uime from them
Never were more tender hearts appealed to
never more generous iounts of feeling opened
by the appeal Of lone widow in distre S.
One gentleman borrowed from another a
quarter. who added TO II a second. The
third gentleman being rather slow but very
sure in opening his purse, the lady fatteree
him into more speedy lberality, by saying
she never asked rough looking, bad counfe-
nanced men for charity. That quarter came
out quick. As she disappeared down the
steps, young man sitting by who knew
the ropes" Of the city, said Gentlemen
hope your generous lberaiity wi be duly APP
preciated by that worthy ledy. She has hac
arhard time of it-ior 10 my certain knowl
edge she has been gong to Pittsburgh for tht
last three months!" We became ASHAMED
Of the verdancy ofour friends, and pretended
not to know them May they ger HON,
safely.

BREAKING ALIVE ON THE WHEEL-In
Marienwerder, the old sentence of death by
breaking alive on the wheel, from beneath.
upwards" has just been pronounced on a
woman named Lempeck Tor the murder OF
her step daughter. child Of five years ofage.
She deliberately buried her alive, though. ms
she say S in her confession, "she resisted and
shrieked dreadtuIly." She tied the ciild's
hands behind her, forced her into hole. and
covered her with the earth even after she
heard the stihed cries OF the victim. She
told the neighbors the child had been sent to
some relations. Neither on the trial nor in
her confession did the woman exhibit any
signs of arrangement. The sentence in the
form pronounced is never carried into execu-
ton.

A GALLANT SAILoR.-The Swedish slOop
of war Ndjddin is at present lying in Boston
harbor, and her officers are receiving every
attention at The hands of the Bosonians.-
The object of the visit to Boston Of the first
war vessel Of Sweden is not stated, but is
probably expIaine>in the following anecdots,
taken from the Boston Matt:
"Ahout twenty FIVE years ago, Swedish
sailor appIicd to Benjamin Bangs. merchant
of this city, to be employed in one OF his ships
as a sailor. The man went one voyage: and
on being paid off asked to know when the
ship would be ready again, as he wished TO
90 in her He went the second voyage. and
was so much liked by the Captain, that lie
was taken from the forecastle and furnished
with a siateroom in the cabin by the aster.
This created feeling of envy and dislike
among the seamen, which resulted Ia ctal-
lenges to fight The Swedish sailor turned
TO nd whiI ped SIX of the crew, one after
ano her, when they gave in and allowed HIM
to enjoy his quarters in peace AT the end
oil his voyage he left, ami was not again seen
until IL day or TWO since. when an officer, with
gold epaulettes and buttons. walked into Mr.
Bangs couning-room, and made himself
known as the seli-siime sailor who had sailed
in Mr.. Bangs employ, twenty five years ago
1t was Capt. Hitchcock, of the Swedish sloor
OF war. now lying at anchor off Sargent
wharf. He told MIR. Bangs that he came
from Sweden to this country originally II
! learn his profession in the United States mer-
cintile marine. The sequ, OF the story was
that MIR. Bangs invited the Swedish n;tvA
commander with all his officers, to take tep
with him. which tLey did with apparen
pleasure"

I57It would appear from letters published
in late number oil the Republican by Dem

ocrat is told in polite manner TO keep lis

permit that sheet to announce their names as
