presented at the indignation meeting, / will
say, from my acquaintance with him, that |
believe pnrer patriot, truer republican, a
more perfect gentleman never crossed the At

the man to assume any position thoughtlessly
or rashly; nor is he the man, to back out from
any stand he does take. He has now taken a
stand in vindication Of the honor of his coun.
trymen and their descendants in America, as
he once did yaliantlyfor the achievement of tn.

hope that the memorial which he penned may
receive the signature Of every Irishman and the

TRAVELLING TO CALIFORNIA; WoMEN AND PAX

four young ladies, who were bound to Califor-
ma, under the protection Of their father ald

MAZE attre, have thought some account OF
shem would be interesting to you. They were

father, Mr. Springer, having been an eminent
merchant there, who met with reyerses in busi-
ness. first met this family at Louisville, on
board the steamer on which embarked for ST.
Louis, and continued with them to this city.
They intended going over the plains, from In
dependence, in wagons, and will have long
and tedious journey to perform. They were in
fine spirits, however, seeming to look upon their
journey rs n pleasant excursion. Their con-
dnct on the boat was perfectly lady-like !; in
deed, every one was pleased with, them. They
have supply of coarse male. apparel for the
plains, but their suits worn on, the boat were
fashionable and fne-dress black coats, black
pants, buff vests, and hats Of glossy black.
The buttons of their vests were plain, fat-sur-
faced and very rich Their coats and pants
were all modish, and fit to a nicely. Their
hair was cut short, and their whole appearance
was genteel. They stated to me that they felt
perfectly at ease in their new garments, and
preferred them to gowns / asked them wheth-
er they proposed travelling on the plains in
their fine cloth suits. They answered. in the
negative observing, that they had a supply of
rough clothes for the journey, but that while
they were yet in civilized regions, they intended
to dress like gentlemen. ].."a ...E @E"
g "Now, l can say with perfect truth, that no
harm or ill-nature resulted from the, course
pursued by the Miss Springers. Every pas
senger spoke well Of them, and the lady passen-
gers, with only one exception, acknowledged
that they no longer saw any thing wrong in
females dressing in male attire. l began to
think, therefore, that Miss Webber may come
to our country safely, and not be considered an
eccentric. At all events, have written to her
to that effect, and volunteered to her cordial
reception. But / must caution you not to keep
your eyes too intently upon her person, or you
will be sure to fall in love with her. She is the
beau ideal of handsome gentleman, and 4
could never desire to see her in female dress
The eldest of the Miss Springers is very intelli-
gent and well educated. She says the day will
yet come when all women will wear the male
attire / have strong notion of getting o

SNOW IN MAY.
By JOEL AUSTIN.
l. . I.
Snow Is falling on the meadow,
Green and fragrant all the while,
CHANGING through the leaves and blossoms,
ROBBED wherein the forests smile ah
Thus upon my hope has fallen
Just as ii begun to bloom
Unforeseen and icy blanBness,
Fitting garment for the tomb.
Joys and fancies sprung within me,
Like the budding flowers to light
More than j should like to number
Destined TO an early night;
Like the snow upon the meadows,
While they sweet and freshly shone,
Came the north-wind of misfortune
Now I'm chilled, and pale, and lionel
