FACETIous.-Our good natured friend of the
gazette grew refreshingly facetious last week
upon the subject Of our :. susceptibility to the
tender passion" Our only establishment il,
that he an Editor should think it strange or I'M
usual The fact is, we seldom go into CON-
pany of beautiful ladies without losing our
heart, provided we have it in possession when
we enter into their presence. On such occasions
we never draw back as friend Duchow advises,
as we'll as illustrates by example. BY the way
the value Of your company = to the corner"
friend John, was greatly depreciated-lirs be-
cause we saw you offer your services to black
eyed beauty. and drew back before you OF
fered to see us home and secondly, because in
stead of escorting US to our homestead roof, as
was the duty OF a gallant, we have faint recol-
lection of leaving you at the arindow Of your Of
fee in the Industrious attempt to open the door.

Important Decision by the Supreme Court.


One of the most important decisions ever rem
dered by the Supreme Court of California was
rendered on last Monday, says the CAL Anleri-
can; 1t is 40 less than the announcement that
the entire outstanding Indebtedness of the State
amounting to nearly three and half millions
of dollars, is Illegal, on account of the Constitu-
ton asserting that the State shall not incur in
debtedness which in the aggregate shall exceed
the sum of three hundred thousand dollars.
Gov. Johnson, in his Inaugural Address, was
the first Executive that ever paid the slightest
attention to the requirements of the Constitution
on that point. and in that Message attempted to
impress upon the Legislature the necessity that
existed OF the State not going beyond it's receipts
III its expenditures, but his admonitions were in
vain, and like their predecessors, they paid no
attention to the constitutionality of the ndebt-
edness incurred; but the Supreme Court though
we must confess at rather late day. has brought
matrcrs up standing. and emphatcaly declares
that our entire State Indebtedness is illegal.
Nevertheless, the State is honorably bound to
pay every dollar of her Indebtedness. and I'M
questionably will do so. but the question must
be submitted to the people first and if ma
Jority vote to pay. the bonds and scrip will be
PAID III not, tue state VIII fepGdlate. and last
ing disgrace will attach to the name of Califor-
| MIA; but such result is not to be thought of.
We have no doubt but that the Governor in
his annual message, will lay the whole matter
| before the people in such light that they will
comprehend It easily. and plan be proposed
| by which the question can be submitted to the
people at the earliest opportunity. which by the
| Constitution. we believe. cannot be under three
| months. and thus egalze the entire debt but
! IN the meantime the work on the State capitol
viii have to cease until such time as the vote of
th5 people declare whether It shall be built.
Onr advice to ali who hold evidences of State
indebtedness is, not to sell it at sacrifice. for.
| though it is very probable that panic viii be
gotten up and securities deprecated to very
low figure for time, yet the State surely will
pay every dollar of her debts. and in four
months hence her bonds viii be worth more
than they are to-day. Spectators who have
plenty OF money, will reap rich harvest if
! bonds are sold at less than seventy cents. and
we strongly urge upon all who can, to hold on
10 their State securities.

a LuxuRY-We are under many obligations
to Dr.. Graves of this place, for nice dish OF
strawber which he had the kindness to lay
on our table on last Monday. Il will be re-
membered that we noticed his garden as having
strawberry plants in bloom, only week or two
since. BY the way, as we are speaking ci early
fruit, we are reminded of the splendid assert
ment Of fruit trees and early plants kept by Mr.
Swain at his seed store on Main street. To
those DESTROYS Of obtaining supply for demes-
tic use we would refer them at once to Mr.. S.

WEARY OF LIFE.-Only few days since a
friecd with whom we were conversing gave ut
terance to the melancholy expression am
weary of life y and though the words were pro-
badly spoken without due regard to the extent
of their meaning, they nevertheless left last
ing impression on our mind. Weary of life :?
Yes. thousands Of souls living at the present
time in this beautiful world OF ours, and inhalinc
the perfumes of her balmy air. are now breathing
the same wish-I am weary of life. oh!
the anguish Of the heart which surrounded bv
all that is beautiful and lovely in nature, could
for one moment desire that its proud pulsations
might cease, that the light of day should
be shut out forever from its sight and the voice
Of friends forever hushed from its ears. The
early buds of opening Spring can no longer
shed fragrance on the pathway of their exist
ence. and the merry songs Of animated nature
echoing through the varying changes Of time
cannot arouse their dropping spirits from the
ethargy of disappointed and blasted hopes
All al seems lost to them, while the music
VI lit tVAl0 pii thOii ithC tlit UGdtu CtIge
Of everything they once held dear and valuable
on earth.
And this is human nature. and such is the sum
Of human existence. Look at the languishing
spirit and weep, ye, upon the affairs Of whose
hearts the fires Of hope are still glowing, for
you know not the hour when like they, you may
bow your head beneath the accumulated Attic
tons of day. Old Ocean from her vast and
gloomy depths cannot call forth one note of
sorrow too melancholy to chime with their dark
Affections, but oft, as in sympathy with her,
they would fer Yer bury themselves deep. dep in
her lethean waves. Alas for poor suffering hu-
manity. is there no help? Yes There is
balm in Gilead, and there is physician there"
Co TO him then thou stricken one and when
all else fail you, whether in the gold fields of
California or on the cultivated soil of the Old
World, remember that lie tempereth the wind
to the shorn Lambs and if called upon will
make all your sorrows vanish, and cause your
saddened and dropping soul to leap for JOY and
gladness.

IF we look over the whole range of human
existence, we shall find no one who is not in
fluenced by the potent spell of anticipation
From early childhood to the grave, it is the
guiding star of life. Yes, all are influenced by
anticipation. The boy looks forward to the
the time when manhood shall descend upon
him, investing him with all the power and Dig
nifty he so much admires in his father. The
girl sees through the vista of years, (as it were,
but little way,) the scenes in which she is to
figure as the bright particular STAR" when
the restraint of schooldays shall have passed,
and chdes the tagging hours which separate
her from that wondrous epoch in woman's life,
her Debut"
The young lady looks forward to happy
home, and the affections of one true heart
which shall be hers until death. The ambitious
man sees in the distance the goal of all his
hopes, himself upon the topmost round OF
Fame's high ladder, the admiration of the
cringing multitude. For him senate halls gilt
ter, and banners wave on battle fields. The
mser in anticipation gloats over the heaps oi
glIttering gold he is yet to gather, and the pool
man hurries home to meet the patient smile Of
his much suffering wife. These are all antici-
palions of to-day; but there are higher antlcl
pations. They are the anticipa tions which thrill
the breast of the Christian. lie looks beyond
the present, with its fascinating frivolities anC
It's perilous splendOrs.
What'to him are the hopes of earth! Fam
may beckon him onward with her fairy fingers
Hope may sing her syren song; Love ma.
weave bright chapIets for his brow, and gol
may glitter in his grasp; but he looks far be
yond them. Towering high above the mos
splendid dwellings of earth, he sees the Pa

lie turns from the chamber of state and th

that great company, " whom no man can nun

d purple and fine linen of earth, he looks forwal
: TO the time when he shall be arrayed in tt

Work, Toll, Strive.


Work, work, work what hapless lot -
To renew the task each succeeding day,
And labor aud sweat ones whole life away
To keep up appearance and make display
Or even to get along in decent way -.
And then die, be inferred and forgot! |!
Toll, toll, toll il!-how can reign content?--
While, by social system sadly lame, .
Is quenched the light of Hopes cheering flame,
And all ones powers must bow to the claim

And life is in selfslavery spent?
