Uncle Wil:ian.'s Advice.

II you wish to be aged, be calm, be calm;
II you wish to be aged, be calm;
For passion and rage, never lead to old age,
And bad tempers are fruitful of harm;
But, II gentle and mild, while yet but a child,
Amidst meekuess and peace you will grow,
Keeping under control every power of your soul,
Until age shall encircle your brow.
If you wish to be happy be good, be good;
II you wish to be happy be gOOd
For nlind at ease and a smiling face,
Are better than clothing or food;
But naughty temper and angry looks
Mark a spirit that wicked within;
On which God looks down with his awful frown
For he never can smile upon sin.
If you wish to be god-like, be kind, be kind;
Ii you wish to be god-lke, be kind;
And whatever your store, remember the poor,
Nor be vain Of the deed in your mind;
For the Father Of love pours from above
His sunshine and showers upon all;
And to initiate this will bring you to bliss;
For his blessing upon you will fall.
If you wish to reach heaven, strive hard, strive
If you wish to reach heaven, strive hard; [hard;
Nor the conflict shun, till the victory won,
And you gain the eternal reward.
Be holy within, and keep sp0tless from sin,
Through the grace which in Jesus is given;
Then near to the throne, You shall claim as your
A crown and palace in heaven. Town

TAKEN BY CHIYAMEN.-The Amador
Sentinel informs US that on Thursday last
Mr.. Redhead attempted to collect foreign
miners license from some Cinnamon on the
river, seven in number. Before he could
prevent it, five Of them had crossed the riv-
er, and then he collected what he could out
of the two remaining, while the others sat
on the opposite bank laughing at him. Mr..
Redhead crossed the river and demanded
their taxes, they told him they were in Cal
averas county, and would not pay, and
while arguing the question, some Of them
slipped up behind him, caught him by the
arms and threw him down. took his pistol
and knife from him, and then made him
promise them that he would not hurt them
demanded his pistol and knife, but did not
get the pistol until the caps had been re
moved, and it had been well soaked in The
river.

NARROW EscAPE.-On Sunday last, q
runaway and upset occurred, which resulted
in serious but not dangerous accident to
q little girl. A horse attached to light
wagon, in which the girl was seated, started
off from the American House, and proceed
ed at full speed down Bench and Third
street, as far as Merchants hotel on jackson
street, where, in making sudden turn, the
wagon was thrown completely over, and the
little girl dashed out upon her head violent
ly 1t is wonderful that she was not in
stantly killed but fortunately the result
ing injury was only severe scalp wound,
without fracture of the skull Surgical aid
was rendered at once Ivy Drs Morton and
Goodrich, and the little sufferer bore the
necessary operation with exceeding and adj
mirable frmness. .-... .......
We are informed that the horse has run
away before, and that at the time he start
ed he was not fastened, the driver being in
the hotel delivering some baggage. 1t was
most reprehensible to leave runaway horse
to stand unfastened in the streets-but that
is but tride in comparison with paltering
with human life, as was assuredly done by
leaving the little girl sitting in the wagon.

The Levee.

We made some remarks yesterday, rela-
tive to an existing evil upon the Levee, and
our attention has since been called by one
Of our merchants, to another, which like
wise requires to have stopper put upon it,
Although it is an unmistakable evidence of
the increase in business of st. Paul, yet it
does not the less require to be curbed We
speak of the runners" for the steamboats,
but do not mean those employed by our
hotels, who conduct themselves very well,
and seldom have more than slight disa-
greement or two week-who stand upon
the Levee. and, as persons bound down the
river appear on thu Levee, assail them per-
tinaciously in behalf of the boats they sew
orally represent. High words, noise and
confusion, and disturbance have been fire.
quent in consequence, of late, when several
boats are ready to go within ar hour or two
of each other, as was the case yesterday,
and on several previous occasions.
Yesterday there was fight over the bag
gage of poor woman, by four of these
fellows, which was Quoted only by the in
tervention of Deputy Marshal Sr1L1MAN,
and during the morning their operations
were such as to cause serious complaints on
the part Of the merchants and others who
do business regularly upon the Levee.
The fact is, that there is need of spe-
cial ordinance for the government of the
levee, with especial reference to the mainte-
nance of order, and the establishment of
systematic and regular mode of doing bust
ness. AS it is, everything is helter-skelter,
and so far as regards police regulations,
entirely too little has been done.
We again express the hope that the City
Council will take this matter, in all it's bear
ings into consideration.

EMIGRATION HITHERwARD.-The following
is an extract from letter received from q
subscriber residing in Douglass, Fayette
county, Iowa. 1t will be seen by this, that
the emigration to this Territory is constantly
increasing, not only from the East, but from
different parts of the West
can immense emigration goes through our
place daily, bound for your country somewhere.
Straight and Cannon Rivers seems to be the
destination of most of them. Since spring
some ten families have left our town for Fari.

BILE Saw-mill is now in process of construction
at Chicago for two or three of our citizens,
who are bound for there as soon as it is COM
