ADVICE TO You've MEN.-Socrates did not
urge his friends to enter early upon public en-
ployments but first to take pains for the attain.
ment of the knowledge necessary for their sue
cess in them.
Are you stepping on the threshold Of life!-
Secure good moral character. Without virtue
you cannot be respected; without integrity you
can never rise to distinction and honor.
Be careful lest too warm desire of distinction
should deceive you into pursuits that may cover
you with shame, by setting your incapaeity and
slender abilities in full light.
People who have the rashness to intrude into
stations without proper authority and the re4Gi-
site preparation for the service Of the public not
only involve Others in loss but bject themselves
to ridicule.
The tricky, deceitful, and dishonest are rarely
prosperous, for when confidence is Withdrawn,
poverty is Ekel y to follow.
The shortest and surest way to live with hon
or in the world, is to be in reality what we would
appear to be. la.s
When once a conceallnent or deceit has been
practiscd in matters where all should he fair and
open as the day, confidence can never be restored
any more than you can restore the white bloom
to thA grape or plnm that yam haro onnn frossoa
in your hand.

From the NJ 2 Courier 6 Enquirer.
The Gold Crop of 1853.

The Mint returns and the Custom House ta
bles exhibit an increase in the quantity of gold
in the U. States without precedent, and give
assurance that the present cheap rate of money
must continue, if indeed lower rate of interest
is not soon caused. Much as has been said in
praise of California gold fields, and large as have
been the profits of mining, no one who carefully
reads the advices from the Pacific coast, can re-
sist the conclusion that the future will exceed the
past The great bulk of the gold thus far sent
to market, has been the produce Of surface min
ing, or of such other rude processes as require
nothing but hardy frame and habits of indus
try. Quartz mining, though the results have
been as good as could have been expected from
business in which everything had to be learn,
ed, has yet to show its full power in extracting
from the bosom of California her golden trea-
sures, " E
A few of those mining companies which, to
proper machinery, have added economical man
agement, have made returns that must satisfy
the most avaricous, and the Others now preparing
to work, cannot fail of similar results, BY pursu-
ing similar policy. The company having the
largest and best equipped force, the. aGrass Val
ley Mining Co." under charge of Gen. Winches-
ISI, VIII uO uOuUG oOOu SCGIio tuC 4uCStiOH WuO-
ther the quartz has been over estimated in val
ue. The arrival at San Francisco of a feet of
over due ships having an important part Of its
machinery on board, will. now enable it at once
to proceed with success equal to the anticipa-
tions of its stockholders, and other companies in
progress of formation, who can estimate their
prospects of success by the labors of this compa-
ny, which cutters the field with all tba. makes
success probable, whether as regards its machine
ry, or what is better, the intelligence and ener.
gy of its managers Not despising the dayof
small things, the Grass Valley Company has
added to its works, a saw mill, so profitable in
its operations, that were the quartz partofits op-
era:ions totally valueless, its lumber trade will
pay profit that would make most stockholders
Indifferent to the gold. The ensuing year must
develop the resources of the 1god ,Statep to an
extent now difficult to estimate even, and unless
all the opinions of those who know California
best are worthless, the quartz machinery will be
the means by which the greatest progress, and
the riches profits, will be secured. zz-s

BEAUTIFUL CoYTRAsr-The following happy

BEAUTIFUL CoNTRAsT.-The following happy
passage is from the pen Of Mrs. Sigourney:
"Aan might be initiated into the varieties and
mysteries of needle work; taught to have patience
with the feebleness and waywardness of infancy,
and to steal with noiseless step around the cham
Der of the sick; and the woman might be instruc-
ted to contend for the palm of science; to pour
forth eloquence in Senates, or "wade through
fields of slaughter to throne" Yet revolving
of the soul would attend this violence to nature,
this abuse of physical and intellectual energy;
while the beauty Of social order would be defa-
ced, aud the fountain Of carth's felicity broken up
We arrive, then, at the conclusion, that the sex.
es are intended for different spheres, constructed
in conformity to their respective destinations, by
Him who bids the oak brave the fury Of the tenn
pest, and the Alpine flower lean its cheek upon
the bosom of eternal SHOWS. But disparity does
not imply inferority. The high places of the
earth, with all their pomp and glory, are indeed
accessible only to the march of ambition, or to
the grasp of power; yet those who pass with
faithful and unarplauded zeal through their hum,
BILE round of duty, are not unnoticed by the
"great task-masters eye;" and their endowments,
though accounted poverty among men, may
prove durable richie, in the kingdom of Heaven u
