Nc of the Sierra Citizen is Irregular brick
He went to ball on the 22nd ult and en-
ioyed himself so hugely among the ladies
that he has formed the desperate resolution
to marry "at his earliest convenience"
Speaking of squabble in Downieville
about school house, in which it seems the
members of the different churches are taking
stock pro and con, he remarks quite pithily,
that - number here are just about far
enough advanced in christianity to be jealous
Of each other and for this reason the school
should be separate and distinct institution
The business men Of that vicinity are in
formed that if they don't come down, in the
way Of Advertisements, that they "need not
expect any attention from the Citizn-not
even if they should get married" cause why,
he helps those who help him.
Some friends retard the operations of the
Office judging by the following:
"Our Devil complains of being interrupt
ed in bis daily avocatons, by persons desi-
ring to avail themselves of his opinions on
great questions Of national and religious pol
ity; he is of opinion that discussions during
business hours, in printing office, are nearly
as costly as decisions of the Supreme Court
and amount to but little more. The other
day, after having pied half a stick full by in
advertently gesticulatng just at the cmac-
taric of an argument on the slavery question.
We heard him remark damn" and never
once thinking of the nexcusabe profanity
we added "emen,'' we having got out Of pa
tience with the noise.
To save any further annoyance to him and
us, we will add that on most questions of ma
tional policy he is conservative; but on NOR
al questions he is latitudinarian to a degree.
In the matter of North and South all his
sympathies are with the South-the climate
agreeing better with his constitution. He
desires us to state that it is nconvenient for
him to lecture during business hours"
There's an imp about the Herald office
that complains little over the same causes
once in while. We try to allay his anger
by pleading for our friends, but he says po-
liteness is one thing and business another
There's so much truth in this sage conclusion
that we we We're obliged to dry up at once.

but amiable girl used to call his WIFE Brown

Oh how swiftly by!

Or a fountain ever gushing
Hourly, daily, weekly, yearly,
Rapid as the lightning, nearly.
Do the moments fy.
Catch the SECONDS as they're passing,
Wait not for the HOURS;
Prize them as golden treasure
Use them not in triling pleasure
Seconds, minutes-prizing, holding
AS you would those buds unfold
Into choicest flowers.
Act for some important purpose,
Not with selfish zeal
See-humanty is bleeding,
Aid thy fellow man is needing.
Hundreds thousands millions-heer them
Breathing out their woes-go. cheer them,
Seek their wounds to heal.
Soon another year, all freiShted
With the deeds of man,
Will be borne to God the giver,
And recalled by mortal never!
o be wakeful, watchful. ready,
Heart aud hand to bless the needy
Thus fill out thy span.

On its ugly little head.
