GIRLs FOR CALIroRNIA-The failure
Of Mrs. Farnham in collecting bevy Of
girls for California has evidently arisen
from the fact that she did not apply or
make search in the right quarter. A
Philadelphia paper says that the girls at
Cohasset make nothing of going into the
water and hauling out shark or mack
erel by the nose. They dig clans with
their toes, and open qua hogs with q
pinch of their fingers. They live on sea
fare; so that when they are kissed they
taste salty, and when they die are pre-
served half century. Their hair in
old age turns into dry sea weed; and if
they have worn caps in their old age,
the cap is stiff and glistening with crys-
tallizations of salt; and if you fall in
love with them in your youth, you find
yourself in pickle. AT all events, had
Mrs. Farnham sent her bark to Cohas-
set, she could have had any quantity Of
these girls, who would have commanded
the market at California. Now she ar
rives at San Francisco with two or three
at most, who will soon desert her for the
gold miners.

claiming the right of the elective fran
chize. and helping to uphold the great
fabric of State. THAT is AMERICAN Ia
BoR, and confess all my sympathiss
are with it, and my voice until am
dumb will be for it, Such is Minneso-
ia labor, part Of her social system;
indigenous to her people, her soil, and
her climate. Let it be cultivated. Let
the tree Of domestic industry be well
watered, and it will bear the fruits Of
plenty, and on its boughs will bloom Pc
rennial flowers Of peace and happiness
for her children.
We who are now laying the founda-
ton, should have sense Of the respon.
sibility resting upon US. The beauty and
permanence of the superstructure that
is to be reared. depends greatly on tho
faithfulness with which we do our work.
Let US be diligent in learning and per-
forming every duty that pertains to tho
relations of christians. citizens. neigh-
bors, and parents. Let us be oo-labor-
ers in every benevolent enterprise. Let
the christian principle. to do as we would
be done by. be the practical philosophy
of the land. We do ourselves and pos
terity a wrong, to rush bliudly on ia the
acquisition of wealth. In our prosperi-
ty let us keep an open hand to encour-
age those institutions that will secure
permanent good to ourselves and poster
ity; from which our children anC chill
dren's children will enjoy rich fruition.
BY so doing, we shall be assured, that
when we are gathered to our fathers. our
places will be filed by no degenerate
sons, but each successive generation RE

SHOOTING ABoBALINK-HUMoRo
The Bobalink has an instructive horror
to cold lead, and the faculty for dodging
out of its way, which no other bird, SO
far as our archaeological knowledge ex-
tends, is possessed Of Frequently have
we crcpt directly under a low ash or al
der, upon the top of which, one of tho
chatterers was perched, taking deliber-
ate aim, our muskct charged with about
six inches ofpowdcr, and blazed away
Down the bird would come all but to the
ground, and when we thought we had
him secure, off he would fly. After per-
forming divers fantastic gyrations, and
Tapping his wings TO convince us that
we had not wounded him, he would sud-
denly stop still in the air, perk know
ingly and wickedly in our face, and in
the joyousness of his own composition,
the burden of which sounded to us like
the following:
