Prospects of California.

The ". Y. Independcnt of August 16, con
tains the following just remarks upon Cali
fornia
"The present financial condition of Cali
tornia is calculated to inspire great confidence
in all the Atlantic States. The lessons taught
the past year, will not only be remembered
but will have a healthfu influence in the fu-
ture. This new territory, a few years age
hardly known, except as wilderness OF
barren waste, is now rapidly becoming a
populous and powerful section of this great
contederacy. Were it not an integral por-
ton of our own vast territory, and settled
mainly by our own flesh and blood, we might
expect At no distant day it would stand up
proudly in its own strength, ask to be alone
in its glory, and elect to be free and indie
pendent nation. The untold material wealth
of the Pacific coast will soon make it the
very garden Of the New World. When the
whole Sierra Nevada range of mountains
shall develop its uncounted treasures, and
every district alive with activity and compe-
tition, shall pour forth its golden stores, then
will California reach its destined position,
surprising in wealth and prosperity all that
the Orient ever knew, while San Francisco
will sit upon our Western shore, queen of
two worlds, whose nations from the far At
lantc to distant Asia shall bring unto her
their riches and their glory. Already the
annual mineral product Of this new State
amounts to s75,000,0 900, and yet the science
Of mining is but in its infancy.
AS to the quantity of earth and rock
which has gold in sufficient quantities to be
remunerative it is useless to attempt an est-
mate. 1t will require ages to exhaust such
an immense supply, and the annual yield
will only depend on the number Of miners
and the supply Of water necessary for work
ing.
Anything like caution or prudence has
heretofore been deemed unworthy of Cali
tornia, but now when the days of moonshine
speculations are over, and it is found that
gold can be obtained only by hard labor the
people are beginning to believe that thrift
and economy are as necessary there as in any
other part of the world. This new country
thus far has been an enigma, but it will soon
cease TO be 50, when every department Of
business will be safe and satisfactory The
developments Of the past year, the downfall
Of Page, Bacon & Co., Adams & Co, and
Others, will discover to all the dangers into
which they have recklessly plunged, and lead
to intelligent and careful future action. All
this experience and discipline has been Or
dered by Divine Providence for the present
and future good and glory of country des
tined inevitably, we believe, TO eclipse in
wealth and grandeur any other spot on the
habi,ab!e globe"

I'M GROWING OLD.
BY JOHN G.. SAKE.

My days pass gently away,
My nights are blessed with sweetest sleep
feel no symptom of decay.
| have no cause to mourn or weep.
My foes are impotent and shy
My friends are neither false nor cold,
And yet of late often sigh
Pm growing old!
My growing talk of olden times.
My growing thirst for early news,
My growing apathy to rhymes.
My growing love to easy shoes,
My growing hate of crowds and noise,
My growing fear of taking cold,
All tell me, in the plainest voice
I'm growing old!
I'm growing fonder of my staff.
I'm growing DINNER in the eyes,
I'm growing fainter in my laugh.
Pm growing deeper in my sighs,
I'm growing careless in my dress,
I'm growing frugal Of my gold.
I'm growing wise, I'm growing-yes-
I'm growing old!
see it in my changing taste.
l see it in my changing hair,
see it in my growing waist,
see 1t in my growing heir,
thousand hints proclaim the truth,
AS plain as truth was ever told,
That, even in my vaunted youth,
I'm growing old.
All me! my very laurels breathe
The tale in my reluctant ears;
And every boon the hour bequeath,
But makes me debtor to the years
Zen Flattery's honeyed words declare
The secret she would fain withhold,
And tell me Inflow young you are!"
I'm growing old
Thanks for the years whose rapid flight
My sOmbre muse too gladly sings:
Thanks for the CLEANS of golden light
That tint the darkness of their wings.
The light that beams from out the sky,
Those heavenly mansions to unfold,
Where all are blessd aud none may sigh
I'm growing old"

Selections for a Newspaper.

Most people think the selection of suitable
matter for newspaper the easiest part OF
the business. How great an error. 1t is by
all means the most difficult. To look over
and over hundreds of exchange papers every
week, from which to select enough for one,
especially when the question is not what shall,
but what shall not be selected, is no easy
task If every person who reads paper
could have edited it, we should hear less
complaint. Not unfrcquenty is it the case
that an editor looks over all his exchange
papers for something interesting and can ab-
solutely find nothing. Every paper is dryer
than contribution box and yet something
must be had; his paper must come out with
something in it, and he does the best he can.
TO an editor who has the least care about
what he selects, the writing that he has to
do is the easiest part of the labor Every
subscriber thinks the paper is printed for his
own benefit; and if there is nothing in it that
suits him, it must be stopped it is good for
nothing. Just as many subscribers as an
editor may have, so many tastes has he to
consult. One wants something sound. One
likes anecdotes, fun and frolic and the next
door neghbor wonders that man of good
sense will put such stuff in paper. Some
thing spicy comes out, and the editor is a
blackguard. Next comes something argu-
mentative, and the editoris dull fool And
so between them all, you see the poor fellows
get roughly handled. They never think
what does not please them may please the
next man; but they insist, if the paper does
not suit them it is good for nothing.
