Topics of the Dav.

SATURDAY has rolled round again,
and the miners, the merchants, the
rrinters, and even the editors, are
granted respite from the tolls Of the
week. Saturday is pay day too, and
delinquent boarders are dunned
again, and patrons Of Chinese wash
men are earnestly solicited by anx-
ious Mongolians to liquidate their
Indebtedness; jours and subs hang
round listlessly, and eye with impa-
tient looks the movements of " the
boss" all silent about money matters
though, but the cashier knows what
they want, and one by one, he calls
up +" the boys " and gives them each
good deal more money than they
will be likely to have when Monday
morning comes. Bakers and butch
crs and grocers, rush about breath
'cssly, and the first little seeds of dis
sention are sown between those ven
der. Of the staff of life and unfortu-
nate housekeepers unfortunate be-
cause they don't keep account of
what they get, and still more unfor-
tunatc because Saturday has brought
ali creditors and no debtors to their
doors. Lawsuits commence on Sat
ugday, because some folks either
can't or won't pay up, and ltigatlons
Lave an end on Saturday too, because
some other folks must and do square
up on this great payday Old
grudges are likewise paid of, for Sat
urday night being a holiday, (Which,
by the way, seems rather a Celtic
manner of expressing ourself) and men
and boys feeling themselves entitled
to large AMOUNT Of liberty, drink
too freely of souleLling besides ""toA,
become belligerant and chlvalrlc, and
dig up old buried hatchets, s,andproceed
to settle their misunderstanding by
4 few minutes hard work in hanging
one another's heads, if one or both
don't happen to crawfsh, and the
battle over everything goes on
smoothly until Saturday comes again.
It's a wise dispensation Of Providence
that Saturday should come once
week, at least our carrier thinks so,
and he endeavors to prove 1t such by
collecting all he can from our patrons,
and if they desire to keep on amlca-
BILE terms with him they had bettor
square up and commence anew
Saturday is a good season for edit
ors and readers too, for were that IN
dispensable precursor to the Sabbath
erased from the diurnal calendar, we
should not have this subject to write
about and the enlightened reading
public wouldn't have the pleasure Of
perusing it.
