Isions. restrain their frolic 81 their fun, 50
long as il Is not prejudicial 70 health Or
morals. The ideas that sometimes obtain
on this subject are perfectly ridiculous.
Those who attempt to extort the sobriety Of
old age from lisping. laughing childhood,
are taking measures 70 crush the noblest
developments Of human nature.
Inculcate correct views Of Labor. Do
not LET your children suppose that they de-
grade themselves when they earn their
bread, but on the contrary, satisfy them that
only those are truly independent, who have,
with Gods blessing, the ability of taking
care Of themselves. Whatever may be your
wealth, suffer not your children to grow up
in idleness; let your sons and daughters be-
! gin at an early age to make themselves use
full. Teach the girls all the routine of house
keeping. and your boys the principles of
domestic economy, comfort and order. Let
them have place for every thing, and let
every thing be in its place, and never allow
servant to do any thing for them, which
they can as well do themselves. This is a
duty you owe to your children and to the
the worldly so acting you make bees and
not drones.
Give general attention otheir mental and
moral education Give them the advan-
tages of good school, a good library. and
good newspaper. Let them habitually OBJ
serve the Sabbath. and go to the house of
God. Permit them to join in such benevo-
lent enterprises as are adapted to their years
and your means, and let their charities be
extended from their own little resources,
that they may learn that such gifts are but
laid up at interest above. Do not coerce
attendance at Church, but by gentle means
make it a pleasure, for thus only can it lead
to profit. Be the mild monitor and genial
companion, the sharer of all little joys, and
the consider of all the sorrows, which fit
over the spring of life, like the cloud shad
ows over the ripening field Of golden grain.
without bending the blade, however dark
and heavy they appear.
More, much more might be said, but VIC

will bring to your frcsides will amply com
pensate you for your trouble.

all sorts of objects, many Of them of friv-

tion to reflect upon the charac ter of our
Grass Valley ladies, who are usually put
forWard in the matters, nor to question
the modesty or propriety of single and
married young wemen going about the
mills, ravines, bitches and stores, asking
for money, and by means of their ele-
CANT figures and bewitehing smiles, ex-
tracing, (nct ertorting) the dimes from
gallant gentlemen's pockets; for all this
may be unexceptionable in every point Of
view and vastly proper. In fact never
said word In that communication about
our lovely Grass Valley ladies at all.
What I wished to call public attention
to was the growing habit of going around
for money, till the sight OF an agent ton

in many portions of the town to quietly
get out of the way of such importunities.

Plank Road.

The notice in another columa in
which gentlemen interested declare
their intention.to organize a company
for the purpose of constructing q
plank and turnpike road between this
city and Marysville, is q gratifying
proof that this pregnant project is not
to sleep. We believe there is now no
obstacle in the way that can retard
the progress of the work. To be
available next winter active labors
should commence Immediately on the
organization of the company. The
magnitude of the undertaking is sufi-
eient to demand full summers work.
We have before us a report from
the engineers, which, though informal,
and the result of the first survey to
this place, to be corrected on their re-
turn, probably comes very near the
truth. BY this the road is thirty-nine
miles in length. The highest grade is
not quite six degrees, and that only for
one-fourth of mile. The rest of the
road is easy, and the grade good.
We presume we shall hear from the
engineers in full at the meeting OF
the 18th inst at Marysville.
The voice of our citizens is unan-
imous for the road, and the prospect
ef its real progress gives much salts

faded out, its diggings exhausted, and
ats hotels closing. They who supposed
so reskoned too fast. Rough and Ready
has lately taken fine start ahead, re-
modelled its buildings, and increased
greatly its business. AS evidence of the
prosperity of its mines it is sufic to
state that one firm, Sweigart & Co., con-
Quoting the business of butchers, take
weekly from 60 to IS lbs. of gold dust,
besides coin. Other firms buy largely,
besides the office of Adams & Co., kept
