Do GooD,-Thousand of men breathe
move and live-pass of the stage of life and
are heard Of no more. Why! They did
not do a particle Of good in the world and
none were blessed by them, none could point
to them as the instruments of their redemp-
ton; not word spoke could be recalled, and
so they perished; their light went out in
darkness, and they were not remembered
more than the insects of yesterday Will
you thus live and die, o man immortal?-
Live for something. Do good, and leave be-
hind you a monument of virtue that the
storm Of time can never destroy. Write
your name in kindness, love and mercy, on
the hearts Of thousands you come in contact
with year by year, and you will never be for.
gotten. No, your name, your deeds, will be
as legible on the hearts you leave behind, a:
the stars on the brow Of evening. Coco
deeds will shine as the stars of Heaven.

GooD.-In answer to New York CORES
pondent in search OF information regarding
this State. Crossette, of the Butte Record.
says:
Grizzly bears and coyotes are less plenty
in San Francisco than formerly, and the mines
thereabouts have failed, by reason of the wa
ter being required by the FIRE companies to
practice with The Sacramento and Marys-
vile diggings have been proclaimed small
potatoes by the Mayor of Oroville, and
have consequently, been vacated. Table
Mountain has been Aumed, and continues to
supply the gold washers with soap, (many
persons in the vicinity having heretofore been
obliged to suspend operations, being ont OF
that important article.) Gambling has y
bout ceased; slug ante, with the limited
privilege Of going horse blind, or a whole
river claim better, being the extent of bets
that we have heard Of lately. Only nine
persons have been killed in this place during
the past week. We have never been shot at
more than twice in one day, and havn't re-
ceived a challenge since we shot Long Tom
Riddle. With the exception of a hanging.
or an occasional murder or two during the
day, there is very little excitement these dull
times.

The DIscovERER OF GUrrA PEEcHA.-An
English paper, mentioning the appointment
to a military position in India of the son of
the discoyerer of Gutta Percha says its dis
coverer was Dr. VIM. Montgomerie, Of the
Indian medical service, and this only in the
year ls45 although many of the countries
producing the article have been in European
occupation for above 300 years. Doctor
Montgomere, observing certain Malay knife
and kris handles, inquired the nature of the
material from which they were made, and
from the crude native manufacture, inferred
at once the extensive uses to which the gutta
percha might be put in the arts of Europe
He purchased quantity of raw material
sending from Singapore part Of it to Benga
and part to Europe and suggesting some ol
the uses to which he iancied it might be ap
piled. The quantity sent to England secured
to him at once as the discoyerer the gold
medal of the Society of Arts, his sole re-
ward

The GRAVES OF THE BELovED.-How pre-
cious is the spot to us where the remains of q
beloved friend or relative in whose society VIC
once took so much delight The mother
loves often there to retire, and while standing
beside the grave of her beloved child, to call
to mind the scenes of by-gone days, when
the loved one, now reposing in the silence Of
the grave, smiled upon her, and called her by
the endearing name of mother. There the
father spends hours in looking back to the
time when he knew his beloved and promis-
ing son, whom none knew but to love, was
the JOY Of his heart and the object of his
greatest care and soiicitude. The husband
or the wife here comes to mediate, and mourn
over the loss of departed companion; all,
from the nearest relative, to the warpl-hearted
and sorrow-stricken friends, here resort to
mediate on the happy seasons Of the past,
and look forward to the future, when they
too shall be laid beside those whom they
love, and with them enter another state Of
being.

A NEw GUN.-A new fre-arm has been
patented by j. w Post, Of Baltimore. 1t
is a repeating rife which can be loaded and
discharged thirty times minute; is light
and convenient. has but one discharging bar
rel and does not reyolve. Under the barrel
in place Of the ramrod in other guns-is q
tube which receives thirty acorn-shaped,
waterproof balls, each containing within it
self powder and percussion for propulsion
The act of cooking the piece places a ball in
the breech, and the whole thirty may be dis
charged in the most rapid succession. At q
late trial, the gun was discharged ten times
in ten seconds. The ball is shaped Ike
that of the Minnie rifle, and the gun itself is
calculated as well for long distances as rapid
firing.

A LAWYER NoosED-" William look up
and tell me who made you Do you knowW
William who was considered fool, screw
ed his face and looked thoughtful and some
what bewildered and slowly answered
Moses, 'sposc."
THAT will do Now" said counsellor c..
addressing the court, the witness says he
supposes Moses made him. This certainly is
an intelligent answer. More so than sup
posed him capable of giving, for it shows
that he has some faint idea of the Scrip
lures. But submit, may it please the Court
that this is not sufficient to justify his being
sworn as witness No, sir, it is not such an
answer as witness qualified to testify should
give
Mr.. Judge" said the fool "may ask
the lawyer a question:
Certainly" said the Judge, TASK him
any question you please"
oval, then, Mr.. Lawyer, who do you
spose made you?"
Aaron, l 'spose," said the counsellor,
initiating the witness.
After the mirth had somewhat subsded,
the witness exclaimed
oval, now, we do read in the Good
Book that Aaron once made calf, but who'd
thought that the tarnal critter had got in
here~
The poor counsellor was laughed down.
