medium, the Anglo-Saxon race obtain Cali
fornia, and in three months discover the
gold which the Spanish owners, though In
possession for three or four centuries, had
failed to discern. The California mines may
be relied on to supply S9O,OOO,OOO during
the year 1851. And supposing 100000
laborers to be constantly engaged in min
ing, it would take above four hundred years
TO exhaust the gold region, or, if this be
above the mark, it is certain that it cannot
be exhausted for generations 70 come.
And the yield will, no doubt, constantly
increase as mining is carried on more scien-
ti6cally and with machinery adequate to
crush the gold bef ring rock.
Thus nature has provided an abundant
supply of gold and interpOsed barrier to
the disasters which the folly and mistakes
of legislators were Fastening upon the
world. This is her Act for the Extension
of the Currency against which the bullion
lists, who would restrict the amount of
money, will strive in vain. The great
monetary revolution of the sixteenth cen
tuIy' consequent upon the Spanish disco
veries in America, from which the prosper
ity and Improvements of subsequent ages
date their rise, will now be repeated. The
value of money will fell, and the price of
labor and its products will rise taxes will
be less, debts will be easier paid, and new
activity will be exhibited in every sphere
of life.
Still, in the opinion of the writer, the
gold of California was not absolutely
needed to avert the speeding ruin. And
here he agrees with some of the EXTREMIST
radicals of our acquaintance. The true
remedy he thinks was paper money, based
not on gold and silver, but on available

OUR LIFETIME

OUR LIZ EE-llMk
When the world was created, all crea-
fures were assembled to have their ne
time appointed, the ass first advanced.
and asked how long he would have to
live. -,
"Thirty years." replied Nature '"iii
that be agreeable to shee!
"Alasr' answered the ass, tit is long
while! Remember what wearisome ex-
istence mine will be, from morning un-
til night shall have to bear heavy bur
aens, dragging cornsacks to the null.
that others may eat bread, while l shall
have no encourage cement, nor be reffeShed
with anything but blows and kicks
Give me but portion OF that time
pray" :,
Nature was moved with compassion
and presented him but eighteen years
The ass went off comforted, and the doS
came forward.
"How long dost thou require to live!"
asked Nature; thirty years were TOO
long for the ass, but wilt thou be content
with them?"
els it thy will that I should?" replied
the dog. "Think how much have 10
run about; my feet will not last tor so
long a time; and, when l have lost my
voice for barking, and my teeth Tor biting
what else shall I be fit for but to lie III
corner and growl?'
Nature thought he was right and
gave him twelve years, The ape came
forward.
"Thou wills, doubtless, willingly live
have to labor as the ass and the dog
Life will be pleasant to thee"
"Ah, no." cried ne; $50 it seems to
others, but it will not be! Should pud-
dings ever rain down, l shall have no
spoon! / shall play merry tricks and ex-
cite laughter by my grimaces, and then
be rewarded with a sour apple. How
often sorrow lies concealed behind jest
I shall not be able to endure for thirty
years"
Nature was gracious, and he received
ten.
At last come man, healthy and strong,
and asked the measure OF his days.
"Will thirty years content thee!
"How short a time" exclaimed man;
"when l shall have built my house, and
kindled a fire on my own hearth-when
the trees I have planted are about to
bloom and bear fruit, when life will seem
to be most desirable, | shall die! Oh,
Nature! grant me longer PERIOD
"Thou shalt have the eighteen years
Of the ass besides"
THAT is not yet enough" replied
man.
sTake likewise the twelve years Of the
dog"
at is not yet sufficient" reiterated
man; "give me more".'
IL will give thee then, the ten years
of the ape; in vain wilt thou crave any
more!'
Man departed unsatisfed.
Thus man lives seventy years. The
first thirty years are his human years,
and pass swiftly by. He is then healthy
and happy-he labors cheerfu!ly. and re-
ioices in his existence. The eighteen
years of the ass come next, and burden
upon burden is heaped upon him; he car
1ies the corn that is to feed others; blows
and kicks are the wages of his faithful
service. The twelve years of the dog
follows and he loses his teeth, and lies
in corner and growls. When these are
gone, the apes eighteen years form the
conclusion. The man, weak and silly,
becomes the sport OF the children.
