The acquisition of California, by the administra-
ton Of the late of Mr. Polk, has, in two years and
half, produced % great an effect on the commercial
movements and affairs of the United States and
of the world the discovery Of the route to India
by the Cape of Good Hope, or that of America did
in a century and half after the passage of Colum-
bus. These results present series of condensed
miracles in q miraculous age. When Sam Swart
won't, in the Custom House Of New York, and Sam
Houston, in the swamps and plains Of Texas, COM
menced the FIRST revolutionary movement, near the
battle field of San Jacinto, little it thought or
believed, in either the United States or Europe,
that such astonishing miracles, such prodgious re-
suits, would ensue. The battle of San Jacinto led
to the independence Of Texas; the independence of
Texas led to war between the United States and
that bastard and broken down republic ofthe South
That war, amidst all the opposition of those who
have benefited most by its results, produced pacers
of heroes and placers of gold in equal abundance
and in equal richness. Our heroes are so numerous
that actually do not know what to do with them;
but the gold coming from the valleys and gulches
of the territory acquired, has been the means of
peating in less than three years. in concentrated
form, the wonders and results Of new India on
the trade Of the world.
But figures of rhetoric in this steam going, cleo
trio, calculating mathematical age, do not amount
to much, without the figures of arithmetic Here,
therefore, are the figures, in Arabic characters,
which simply and plainly tell the results Of the ac-
QUESTION of California, so much deprecated by the
politicians of the day

The Man of Truth.

1t requires stern integrity and high moral
courage to withstand the temptations Of
worldly policy and selfshness. "To be
honest, as the world goes, is to be one picked
out of thousand" Our will must be con-
formed to the high principles of immutable
justice, or personal integrity cannot be main
tanned. "He that walketh uprightly, walk
eth surely; but he that perverteth his ways
shall be known" All persons must encoun-
ter difficulties; to overcome themis the pre-
rogative of the pure and just. They who
enterthe furnace in faithfulness to themselves
and the highest virtue, shall not miss the
form of the fourth in the flames, but shall
come forth unharmed, as the Babylonish
captives were delivered through the infinite
lly greater calamity of apostacy. For turn
ing aside from the true and safe path, Jacob
was chastened to the end of his days. Pc
ter was openly rebuked. Judas and Ana
MAS are left on record, beacons as powerful
in their doom as they should be powerful to
warn. Man in his best state is weak, and
needs to pray with David, "Let my heart be
sound in thy statute, that may not be
ashamed. | will walk in mine integrity
redeem me, aud be merciful to me-"
Integrity is a lofty virtue, one that is a
prime element in every trustworthy charac-
ter. Solomon says "a faithful witness will
not lie; but false witness will utter lies >
A true man is moved neither by smiles MOI

Consunntion.

A modern writer, in an article relating to
the frequency of this disease among us, and
its character, says:
If there be disease in this world of ills,
which seems in a peculiar manner to fit its
victim for the fate which human skill cannot
avert, that disease is CONSUMPTION. To one
who is full Of life, and hope, and JOY, the
conviction that its has fastened its death.
grasp upon him, the fearful certainty of its
end will flash through him with thrill Of
terror, more, doubtless, than that of mos
other diseases. Startling as it must be, in
deed, to feel, for the first time, that there is
worm gnawing at ones vitals, whose gree.
dy teeth no human skill can stay-startlina
to feel the certainty of disease whose end is
surely death. Rut how soon does the spirit
grow calm; and as he feels the disease tug
ging at his heart-strings, and his strength
wasting away before it, how calmly, then,
does the soul plume itself for its upward
fiight-how trustingly, then, does it lean
upon the bosom of its God !-and when flesh
and heart grow faint, and fail, how sweetly
sinks to its final rest, the victim of Consump-
ton.
$50 fades summer cloud away.
So sinks the gale when storms are o'er,
So gently shuts the eve Of day,
So dies wave along the shore"

Death.

In the temple of Juno, at Ellis, Sleep, and
his twin brother, Death, were represented as
children reposing in the arms of night On
various funeral monuments of the ancients
the genius of death is sculptured as beau
tiful youth leaning on an inverted torch, feet
crossed. In such peaceful and attractive
forms did the imagination of the ancient po-
cts represent death, And these were men in
whose souls the religion of nature was like
the light of the stars, beautiful, hut family
cold! Strange, that in latter days this angel
Of God, which leads us with gentle hand
into the 'land Of the great departed, into the
silent land," should have been transformed
into monstrous and terrific thing. Such
is the special rider on the white horsc-such
is the ghastly skeleton, scythe and hour
glass, of the reaper, whose name is DEATH.

The Wife.

She knclt beside his dying bed,
BY friends forsakcn now,
And gently raised his aching head,
And wiped his fevered brow;
She paused not for the vanished years,
Which sorrow had made dim,
She thought not of her binding tears,
Save those which fell for him,
She had been loved in earthly youth,
But love had long been gone,
And yet she incurred bis yarnished truth
And brokenly lived on.
He was the father of her boy,
And could she think but i'll
Of one so dear---her pride-her joyg
All, mol she loved him still.
And now deserted and despised
BY those who caused his fall,
Her woman's heart, 50 little priced,
Forgaye and pitied all,
The flower his naughty hand had cast,
10 wither in its bloom,
Tho worn and wan was still the last
To deck his lonely tomb

How to Draw the Sinners.


Several years ago we were resident ,ef
north western Louisiana, near the confides Of
Texas. Thepeople there, as general thing,
were not much given to godliness, and cared
about as little for their souls as they did fer
their bodies, being unconcemed as to the
safety of either. A young itinerant pseach-A
er happened along in the neghborhood dx-
ring this death of religion, and set about.re-
pairing the walls of Zion in good earnest
But his success was poor. Not over half g.
dozen persons could be got together at his
Sunday meetings, and he began to think thes
Lord was frowning upon his earnest and
heartfelt endeavors to save the people
Determined, however, to create an interest
before leaving the neiglIborhood, he procured
some printed handbills and had them posted
up IN every conspicuous place in the district:
which read to the followidg effect:
REIIGIoUs NorIcE-The Rev. Mr.. Blany

This had the desired effect. People.
locked from all quarters, and the anxiety Ia
see the singular preacher, was even gfeater
than the excitement following his challenges
He preached an excellent sermon sin lhaF
morning, and after dinner he brought out
his nag for the race. The purse was made
up by five or SIX planters, and an opposing
nag produced. The preacher rode his little
sorrel and Won the day amid the deafening
shouts, screams and yells of the delighted
people. The congregation all remained to
the afternoon service, and its close more than
two hundred joined the church--some from
motives ofsncerity, some for the novelty Of
the thing, some from excitement, and somc
because the preacher--in the unrifined LAM
guage of the country-was ''d--d good
fellow p The finale Of the affair, was an
flourishing q society as can be found in the
whole region thereabouts.
LoAvEs AND FIsnEs.--A clergyman in
Scotland desired his hearers never to call one
another liars, but when any one said thing
that was not true, they ought to whistle
One Sunday, he preached sermon on the
parable of the loayes and fishes; and being
at a loss how to explain it, he said the loaves
were not like those now a days. they were
as big as the hills in Scotland. He had
scarcely pronounced the words, when he
heard loud whistle. ~

PRINT, comrades, print; noble task
Is the one we gladly ply;
IT'S ours to tell to all who ask
The wanders of earth and sky.
We watch the thought, all glowing warm
As it leaves the students brain,
And place the stamp of enduring form
On the poets airy strain.
Then let us sing, as we nimbly fling
The slender letters round
A glorious thing is our laboring,
Oh, where may its like be found
Print, comrades, print the fairest though
Ever limned in painters dream,
The rarest form e'er sculptor wrought
BY the light of beauty's CLEAN,
Though lovely, may not watch the powel
Which our proud art can claim
That links the past with the present hour
And its breath-the voice of fame.
Then let us sing, as we nimbly fling
The slender letters round
A glorious thingis our .laboring,
Oh, where may the like be found!
Print, comrades print; God hath ordained
That man by his toll should live;
Then spurn the charge that we disdain
The labor that God would give!
We envy not the sons of case,
Nor the lord in princely hall,
But bow before the wise DEGREES
In kindness meant for all.
Then let us sing, as we nimbly fling
The slender letters round
A glorious thing is our laboring,
Oh, where may the like be found

'Tis we'll to have a Merry Heart

IT'S well to have a merry heart,
However short we stay
There's wisdom in merry heart,
What'er the world may say
Philosophy may lift its head,
And find out many flow,
But give me the philosophy
That's happy with strowl
If life but brings us happiness,
1t brings us, we are told,
What's hard buy, though rich ones try
With all their heaps of gold
Then laugh away-let others say
What'er they will Of mirth;
Who laughs the most may truly say
He's got the wealth of earth.
There's beauty in merry laugh,
A beauty moral too
1t shows the heart an honest heart,
That's paid each man his due;
And lent shore of what's to spare.
Despite of wisdom's fears.
And made the cheek less sorrow speak,
An The eye weep fewer tears.
The sun may shroud itself in cloud,
The tempest wrath begin,
1t finds spark to cheer the dark,
Its sunlight is within
Then laugh away, let others say
What'er they will of mirth,
Who laughs the most may truly boast,
He's got the wealth of earth.

J HoME.--The mere sentimentof home, with
its thousands associations, has, like a strong
anchor, saved many a man from shipwreck
inthe storms of life. How much the moral
influence Of that sentiment may be increased
by making the home all it should be, and
how much an attachment is strengthened BY
every external sign Of beauty that wakens
love in the young, are sowell understood,
that they need no demonstration here. All
to which the heart can attach itself in youth,
and the memory ylinger fondly over in ripper
years, contributes largely to our stock Of
happiness, and to the elevation Of the moral
character. For this reason, the condition oi
the family home, in this country, where ey-
cry man may have q home, should be raised
till it shall symbolise the hest character and
pursuits, and the dearest affections spd en-

Rich Men in New York.

A correspondent of the Oswego Times
thus speaks of three rich men in New YorE
one rich by inheritance, one acquired his
wealth by merchandising, and the other by
humbugging:
Stewart, the merchant prince" DR.. Mof-
fat and VIM. B. Astor, are monopolizing
nearly the whole of Broadway, both above
ground and under ground. They are gen
orally reputed to be the richest trio in the
city. Which is the wealthiest can't say
1t appears from statement made by the
deputy receiver of taxes that Mr.. Astor is
possessed of property to the amount of 49,
600, 800, and that his yearly taxes omount
to the snug little sum of $4,000. If that
is all he is worth, DIR. Moffat is the richer
man of the two; but the probability is that
Mr.. Astor is worth over $3,000,000. DIR.
Moffat's dwelling house, with its .out-build-
ings, is valued at $185,O0O, and he owns
other property in this city to the amount Of
over million and half Besides this he
owns a bank in Wall street, and farms al
most innumerable within hundred miles OF
New York. His Life Pills and PhGnix Bit
ters yield him strevenue, which in addi-
ton to his rents and interest on money loan
ed, renders his income truly enormous
Stewart is said to be worth $4,000, ,000'--
He does business Of over 100000 a
year, which must yield an income of $780,
600 per annum. Stewart isnearly 10 years
of age, Astor is about as, and Dr.. Moffat is
between 80 and So years old; SO that the
Doctor has the advantage Of his rivals, mos
decidedly, 4ea
