CALIFORNIA APPoINTMENrs.-T
Sacramento Union, of the 31st ult., says
it is rumored that for the Collectorship
OF San Francisco, the chances are decid-
edly in favor of the appointment of B. F..
Washington. 1t is said that apart from
his personal position, as one of the prin-
cipal leaders of the Democratic party in
the Slate, as late Chairman of the State
Central COMMITTEE, and the organ IF Mr..
Buchanan in the PRONUNCIATION OF his views
upon the subject of the Pacific Railroad.
Mr.. Washington is favored by Senator
Gwin and Mr.. Scott of the House. Next
to him is John Nugent, of the San Fran
cisco Herald, and Chairman of the Young
Mems Democratic Club, who is favored
by Mr.. McKibben, of the California dele
cation. Senator Broderick, it is report
ed. goes for, and will vigorously press
the claims of VIM. M. Lent, and not
Judge Tllford, as many had supp"sed.-
Another candidate is G. w. Baker. late
Recorder of San Francisco. who has the
personal favor Of the President to rely
upon-he having married the President s
niece.

question. Twelve years ago you placed
the bright and sweet flowers in my hands,
and they made new boy-ay, and they
made man of me too. Your face has
been light, ma'am, all along the dark
hours of my life, and this day that little
heggar boy can stand on the old place
and say to you, though he's an humble
and hard-working man, yet, thank God,
he's an honest one."
Tears trembled like morning dew on
the shining lashes of the lady, as she turn
ed to her husband, who had joined her,
and listened in absorbed astonishment to
the workman's words. "God," she
said. "put it into my child heart to do
that little deed of kindness, and see now
how very great is the reward he has Civ
en- me-"
Aud the setting sun poured food of
rich light over the group that stood there
over the workman in his blue overa!ls.
over the lady with her golden hair, and
over the proud looking gentleman at her
side. Although it was picture for a
painter, the angels who looked down on
it from heaven saw something more than
picture there.

CONDITION OF THE STATE TREASURY.

CONDITION OF THE STATE TREASURY.
The report submitted to the Assembly,
on Friday, on the condition Of the State
Treasury, says the Sacramento Union,
among other things, shows "that when
Henry Bates resigned, there should have
been in the Treasury, in cash. S124,27S,-
II; but that of this sum there was an ac-
tual deficiency in cash, amounting to $4S,-
369.92, as well as deficiency of vouch-
ers amounting to 5O6,4s. The gold dust
said to have been sent to the Mint was,
in fact, deposited with Wells, Fargo &
Co., and Upon it Dr.. Bates reed $4,000
advance. while it assayed but $8,1S7.-
The amount of outstanding warrants at
the present time; is S4Os,O95,46, includ-
ing those drawn for State Prison Sup
plies-the amount not ascertained-de-
cared to be illegal by the District Court.
The total amount Of bonds issued under
the various funding Acts, is s3,5l9, 300,
and the total amount outstanding $3.178,-
500; S45,9OO less than was reported by
the Controller. The Total amount paid
out of the Treasury at various TIMES for
interest and exchange, is 1923, ,2SO-s29,-
423.76 of which was an excess beyond
what was required, and to which the
State is entitled. AS to the condition of
the Treasury since the resignation Of Dr.
Bates, it appears that the present Treas
urer has received S106.522.39. and has
paid out SS7,124,68-leaving balance
on hand on the 26th of March of $19, &c.,

The Go-BETwEEN.-Thefe is perhaps,
not more odious character in the world
than that of a go-between-by which we
mean that creature who carries to the
ears of one neighbor every injurious OBJ
servation that happens to drop from an
other. Such person is the slanderer's
herald, and is altogether more odious than
the slanderer himself By his vile Off
ciotisness he makes that poison effective
which else were inert; for three-fourths
of the ISLANDERS in the world would never
injure their object. except by the malice
of go-betweens, who, under the mask of
double friendship, act the part Of double
traitors.
The weekly Columbian., 1857-04-11

The BIBLE.-It lives in the ear like TO
music that can never be forgotten, like
the sound of church bells which the con-
vert hardly knows how he can forego
Its felicities seem to be almost things ra-
ther than mere words. 1t is part of the
national mind aud the anchor of national
seriousness. The memory of the dead
passes into it; the potent traditions of
childhood are stereotyped in its verses !;
the power of all the griefs and trials of a
man is hidden beneath its words. 1t is
the representative of his best moments,
and all that there has been about him of
soft, and gentle, and pure, and penitent,
and good, speaks to him forever out Of
his English Bible. 1t is his sacred thing,
which doubt has never dimhed and con-
troversy never soile,l In the length and
breadth of the laid there is not Protes-
tant, with one spark. of righteousness
about him, whose spiritual biography is
not in his Saxon Bible.

Times Solnoquy.

Old! call you me? Aye! when the
Almighty spoke creation into birth. I was
there. Then was I born. Amid the
bloom and verdure of Paradise, gazed
upon the world radiant with celestial
smiles. rose upon the pinions Of the
first morn, and caught the sweet dew
drops as they fell and sparkled on the
boughs Of the garden. Ere the foot Of
man was heard sounding in the wilder
ness, | gazed out on its thousand rivers
flashing in light, and rejecting the broad
sun, like thousand jewels upon their
bosom.
The cataracts sent up their anthems in
these solitudes, and none was here but l
to listen to the newborn melody. The
fawns bounded over the hills, and drank
at the limpid streaftis ages before an arm
was raised to injure or make them afraid.
For thousands of years the morning star
rose in beauty upon these unpeopled
shores, and its twin-sister of the eve fam
ed in the forehead of the sky, with no eye
to admire their rays but mine.
Aye! call me old? Babylon and As
syria, Palmyra and Thebes, rose, flourish
ed and fell, and scarce melancholy ruin
marks the place of their existence; hut
when their first stones were laid in the
earth | was there! Amid all their splen-
dor, glory and wickedness l was in their
busy streets, and crumbling their mag
nificent palaces TO the earth. My books
will show a long and fearful account
against them. control the fate of en-
pires-I gave their period of glory and
splendor; but at their birth / concealed
in them the seeds Of death and decay.
They must go down and be humbled in
the dust-their heads must bow down be-
fore the rising glories of young nations,
to whose prosperity there will also come
date and day of decline.
poise my wings over the earth, and
watch the course and doing of its inhahi-
tants. l call up the violets on the hill,
and crumble the gray ruins to the ground
| am the agent of higher power. to
give life and take it away. Ispread silk
en- tresses upon the brow of the young,
and plant gray hairs on the head of the
aged man. Dimples and smiles, at my
bidding, lurk around the lips Of the inno-
cent child, and | furrow the brow of the
aged with wrinkles.
Old! call you me? Aye, but when
will my days be numbered? When shall
time end, and eternity begin? When
will the earth and its waters and the uni
verse be rolled, and new world COM
mence its revolutions2 Not till he who
first bid me begin my flight so orders it.
When his purposes, who called me into
being are accomplished, then, and not
till then-and no one can proclaim the
hour-l too shall go to the place of all
living.

MINOR SoRRows.-The prick of pin
often gives more acute pain than the cash
inflicted by lancet. So we pass through
life: our minor sorrows are frequently
harder to bear than our greater affections.
Every trouble either deadens our sense
of suffering by the violence of the shock,
or else excites an unwonted and unnatu-
raj strength, which! enables us to stand
firm against the blow. But the minor
evils Of life annoy tis-irritate us; we
chafe against them. And thus it is that
we often see those whom we had most
reverenced for having nobly borne great
trials; the first to sink Under lesser ones.
