SERMON OF DISTINGUISHED CoLoRED PERSON.
"He evidently felt that his fame had preceded him.
as he looked over that dusky mass, now hushed to
admring silence at his presence. This sable Chry-
sostom took for his text Put not your trust in
Princes; and after glowing exordum, explaining
the meaning of the sacred writer, he informed his
audience that there but two kinds of great
men-hoy princes and profane princes In dc
last, said he, my bruddcrn, de world must nebbcr
put its trust. Why Becase DER ways become
corrupted on de yearth, and dey hab no faith.
Derl was Hannibal, one Of de greatest ginerals and
princes dad eber lbbcd in de tide of times-and
co'ored pursen, at dad. Why, am told he under
stud tic-tacs better dan any ginirel ider before
since. Nuffen could stop dat man. He laffed at
de Alps, when dey shook DER frowning awful brows
at him and he and his soldiers walk right ober
dem easy as muffin. But no body could put any
faith in him He cheated ebery body as soon as he
got Chance And den what become OBJ all dis
glory when de lord struck him down Oh, my
bruddern, it was no whar. And dere was Julius
Caesar one ob de greatest oh de earthly princes.
He, de shake OBJ whose foot made de whole yearth
to trmble, wild all his greatness nobody trusted him.
Dey though he was a friend OBJ de people, and yet
he was deir greatest enemy And how did de Lord
punish him Let de awful groan dat went up
from de feet oh Pompeys stature where he fell an
swer. And den coming down to de modern times: :
dere was Giniral Taylor de great American prince,
de great hero who wade waist deep in blood upon
de Mexican battle fields. Dey make dis man of
war president oh dis great nation, and his heart
swell big with pride; and like Nebuchadnezzcr he
said. .... .. ...fJ
is dat dis de great Babylon DAT have builded
Could dey trust him! Let de disapinted applicants
for Offices anser dis pregnant question ded who
had promised cherry ting to, but guy EN- noting
And how did dc Lord serve him In all his pride
of place, de man dad Santa Anna could mt kill was
killed by the contcmptiLle instrument of cherries and
milk! David kill dc great Goah wild de simple,
smooth stone out of dc humble brook and death
strike Gneril Taylor by too much eating ofcherries

LYMAN BEEcHERs CoURTsHIP-An eminent d.
vine, who is well known as he is universally res
pecrod, many years since was led to the conclusion
that lit is not well for man to be alone"
After considerable pondering. he resolved to offer
himself in marriage to a certain member of his
flock.
No sooner was the resolution formed than it was
put in practice and getting out his cane he speedi-
ly reached the dwelling of his mistress. .-.
1t CHANGED to be Monday morning, day which
many New England readers need not be told is bet
ter known in the household as washing day. I'm
conscious of the honor that was intended her, the
lady was standing behind the tub in the back ktch-
en-, with her arms immersed in the suds, busily en-
gagged in occupation which, to say the least of it,
is more useful than romantic.
There was loud knock at the door
'Jane, go to the door and if it is anybody to see
me- tell them that am engaged and cannot see
them"
1no message was faithfully rehearsed
Tell your mistress" said Parson B., that it ID
very important that should see her"
Tell him to call this afternoon" said the lady,
when this answer was returned and will see him
But it was unavailing.
81 must see her now, said the minister
Tell me where she is.n
So saying he followed the servant into the kitch-
en-, to the great surprise of her mistress.
'Miss--, | have come to the conclusion to
marry. Will you have me :" was the minister s
opening speech
"Have you ;" replied the astonished lady. This
is singular time to oifer yourself. Such an i'm
portant step should be made matter of prayer and
deliberation."
Let us pray was Mr.. BIS only response as he
knelt down beside the tub and prayed that union
might be formed which would enhance the happi-
ness of both parties.
His prayer was answered, and from this union
thus snguarly formed has sprung family remark

ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,
San Eranciscn- A Anril % 1873


Gov. B1GLER AS requested by yours of the 23d
instant, have ascertaned that the Merchants and
Auctonecrs of San Francisco have confederated
together to resist the payment of taxes upon con-
signed goods, and also the provisions Of the law
relative to Auctioneers so far as it pertains to the
payment of any duties collected by them upon per-
sonal and real property sold by them as Auction
eers.
The District attorney, MIR. Bync has been very
industrious in his efforts to enforce the law. lie
called npon several Grand Juries with indictments
prepared, and the indictments have been ignored.
| addressed Messrs. Theodore Payne & Co. seve-
raj interrogatores upon the subject of your letter.
whose reply forward with this. Messrs. Payne &
Co. are the largest Real Estate Auctioneers in this
city, and say they have always been ready when
called upon, to pay over to the proper officer the
amount of auction duties in their hands. They
say that there must be due from all the Auction
GERS from $4,000 to 100000. | think the last
sum nearly correct.
have directed the District Attorney to institute
proceedings for the collection of the money and
have before suggested, the law should authorise
the prosecution of delinquens, to revenue in the
capital county Of the State or in the counties
where such delinquences exist at the option of the
Attorney General, for reasons which are obvious.
Yours respectfully,
5. G. HASTINGS,
Attorney General.

NUMBER 2e,

The AUSTRALIAN AND AMAZON MINEs-The fol.
lowing which we clip from the Calaveras Chronicle,
will be read with interest and we doubt not will
satisfy many whose restless and rowing disposition
would otherwise lead to make pilgrimage to the
new Ell Dorado, located somewhere in South Amer
lea or New South Wales, that their search will be
ruitless: .s- ....r .r-r
RETURNED.-Mr James Shields, formerly resi-.
dent here, has just returned from trip to the Aus.
tralian gold fields. The report is very discourag-
ing, and represents the Californians there as in a
very poor condition indeed. Heavy taxes, insolent
officials, armed constabulary, hard work and
very little gold is sad reverse of fortune for those
who enjoyed the Largest liberty" and muni6cent
rewards of our own glorious State. 1t is hard to
bear and the Calfornians are generally disconten-
ted with their fate-but two from this vicin-
ity having made anything at mining, and they soon
changed off for traders life. Mr. Shields stopped
at Peru, for the purpose of having look at the
Amazon country but found the whole thing a gross
exaggeration. Nothing was known either at Callao
or Lima Of the whereabouts of the gold fields. Our
old friends, Mike Byrnes and Talbot, from Muir
phys, with twenty others, had set out in search of
thenl taking shipping to Huanchaco, whence they
intended to proceed on a twenty days journey-to
become convinced, at the end of if. Of their own
folly and gubility. The belief is gaining ground
at Callao that the story invented for Interior
purposes, that Americans might be induced to rush
to the country, and in their Disappointment, would
be ready to enter on any political enterprise that
might be started to overthrow the present order OF
things there.

SAN FRANCISCO, April %, I65F.
S. c. HASTINGS, Esq, Attorney General:
Dear &:-In reply to your interrogatores Of
the 9th instant we beg leave to present the fol-
lowing as views, viz
First That the Auctioneers do collect duties
upon sales of merchandise and real estate as pre-
scribed by law.
Second, That the amount of estate duties now
due by the Auctoneers of this city, is probably not
less than fifty thousand dollars
Third That the law passed April 23d, 1852,
changing the rate of duties and relative to sales of
consigned goods, is deemed by Merchants and Auc-
toneers of this city as unconstitutional in its pro-
visions, and being SO advised by counsel await a
legal decision before responding to the State.
We are, with great respect,
Yours, &c,

A REPENTANT MILKMAN repentant mlkman
sends us the following note, which he assures us
is truth and not fiction: ... I..
Experience Of a milk man ,oho brings milk into
Nerbmgpor. Owing to the high price ofcows and
fodder, and the people being so ungrateful to tho
poor man, who has to get up early in the morning,
with cold fingers milk his cows, as to arrive at
market in season to save blowing up from his GUS
torners-I thought there would be no harm in put.
ting little good sweet water into the cans before
putting in the milk of course else that would be-
putting water into the milk and not milk into the
water But | found out that honesty was the best
policy, for either the cows would kick as much
over, or the cans would tip over, or some unfortu-
nate thing or other would happen so gave up
the plan, and would advise all others to, and let
their customers luxuriate Oh our hard labor 1t they

OUR HOME.

Our Home o, how that word can cheer
Our wandering, lonely way.
Recall the scenes so loved and dear,
The friendships of our vernal year,
The morning of our day;
The hopes that brightly did appear,
Of bright but transient ray.
Our home! 1t brings our chldhood's hours,
The thoughts so ''fancy free;'
The joys, that bloomed like summer flowers
Amid the sweet scquestercd bowers
OfLove and Poesy--
The tears, that like springs earliest showers,
Gave rainbow hopes of glee!
Our home! All! where are those that shed
A halo round the spot?
Some are far hence DER oceans bed,
Some numbered with the early dead,
Now share the common lot;
For us howe'er Fatc's shalt be sped
They cannot be forgot!
Our home! Until life's closing day
That word our hearts can cheer,
When brightest feelings shall decay,
Whitening like autumn flowers away,
That still shall linger here;
And with hopes pure enlivcning ray
Shall dry the parting tear.
