; to work, ashamed, at NIFTY cents, and serve
thee right; for thou knowest by staying
here, thou mightest strike lead and fifty
dollars day, and keep thy manly self
respect, and then 90 home with enougl
to make thyself and others happy.
VIII. Thou shalt not steal pick, or ;
shovel, or pan, from thy fellow miner
nor take away his tools without his leave
nor borrow those he cannot spare; nor re-
turn them broken, nor trouble him to fetch
them back again nor talk with him while
his water rent is running on; nor remove
his stake to enlarge thy claim, nor under
mine his bank in following lead, nor pan
out gold from his rife box, nor wash the
tailings from his sluice's mouth. Neither
shalt thou pick out specimens from the
company's pan to put them in thy mouth,
or in thy purse; nor cheat thy partner of
his share ; nor steal from thy cabin-mate
his gold dust, to add to thine, for he will
be sure to discover what thou hast done,
and will straig ghtway call his fellow miners
together, and if the law hinder them not,
they will hang thee, or give thee fifty
lashes, or shave thy head and brand thee,
like horse-thief, with Il upon thy check,
to be known and read of all men, Califor-
mans in particular.
TX. Thou shalt not tell any false tales
about good diggings in TIE mountains to
thy neighbor, that thou mayest benefit a
friend who hath mules, and provisions,
and tools, and blankets, he cannot sell,
lest, in deceiving thy neighbor, when he
returns through the snow with naught save
his rifle, he present thee with the contents
thereof, and like dog thou shalt fall
down and die.
| X. Thou shalt not commit unsuitable
matrimony, nor covet single blessedness,
nor forget absent maidens, nor neglect thy
first love, but thou shalt consider how
faithfully and patiently she awaiteth thy
return /; yea, and covereth.. each epistle that
thou sendest with kisses Of kindly welcome
until she hath thyself. Neither shalt
thou covet thy neighbor's wife, nor trife
with the affections of his daughter; yet, if
thy heart be free, and thou love and covet
each other, thou shalt pop the question
like man, lest another more manly than
thou art, should step in before thee,
and thou love her in vain, and in the an
guish of thy hearts disappointment, thou
shalt quote the language Of the great, and
say, Sich is life and thy future lot be
that of poor, lonely, despised and COM
fortress bachelor. If thou hast wife and
little ones, that thou lowest dcarer than
thy life, keep them continually before thee,
to cheer and urge thee onward until thou
canst say, 81 have enough-God bless
them-I will return" Then, as thou
journiest towards thy much loved home,
with open arms shall they come forth to
welcome thee, and falling upon thy neck,
weep tears of unutterable joy that thou
art come; then, in the fullness of thy
hearts gratitude, thou shall kneel before
thy Heavenly Father together, to thank
Him for thy safe return. So mote it be
How TO GROW CoRN-Madam Rumor
has it that a man near the Jackstown
Aqueduct made an opening through the
BERN bank Of the Canal for the purpose of
'ratcriny his cornf1d, causing break say
25 feet long, which detained a number of
boats day or two. If this is SO, the officers
on the Canal ought to prosecute the man
for injuring the Canal, and make him pay
for the repairs, as, unless this is done, he'll
certainly lay in bill Of damages against
the State for injuring his corn-feld and
get it, too.-Lceistowa Ga-cnc.

perate persons, and to whom he cautions

sorereiyns on the list.
