WOMEN ~ CALIFORNIA.
tfrom the Alta California
Soue two years ago the cheering intelligence
reached this then far OF land, that shp with the
pretty name Of Ansoliqpc" was about 10 sail from
the harbor Of New York, freighted with precious
cargo Of resp ectable young women from the New
Ensgana states, who were coming here with the in
tention Of remaining and settling down, and VINO
would not object 20 forming matrimo oniG! alliances
For few days sster the reception of the w. joy
sat upon many bachelors oountenaDee tina; had
been wrtathGd in sorrow at the thought that his
days we're TO esd In this country, with no Wife-no
dear loved one to pess through the weary world
with him Bat like the speculation Of Jem Bsgs,
this all "busted up" aEd when the Angelique ar
rived, che brought only three or four ladies, who
we're either married, or had passed the age when
matrim onsl alliances are sought With any degree
Of Avidty Then cszc the old sorrow again; and
from that time TO this 90 attempt has been made &c
introduce amongst va in any nunbcr respe stable
and yirtuous young women, who Ell ould become
helpmaies 70 tbosewh have made this Cd blessed
land their permanent home.

passed with him in the sunshine and beauty Of
the world. In sorrow she has Mingled her peariy
tears with his. j, danger she has breasted with
him the storm Of life, and has been 10 MIN ever
blessing aod 10y. Who that has been separated
at the be1y altar sten, pledged her young lave TO
him, has bot often thought upon the blessing Of n
yirtuous wifc-how che anticipated his slightest
wish-hew eagerly she ran TO meet him as his
turning footstep pressed the threshold OF his and
her home-how, ia the long winter evenings, be sat
at his Ire side, and she, his early choice,
-ih him, aud how the little prat.lers, their chill
dren, played about his knees, and welcomed him
with her when he entered bis houel Nears Of alb
