\ SPECIMEN OF YANKEE PERsEvERENcE-A
HARD NIGHTS WoRK.-Onc of our Boston mer-
chants, who was last week loading a ship for a
distant port. chanccd to have over forty thousand
feet of boards upon the end of one Of the wharves
when the snow storm overlook him in his labors
and prevented his getting his lumber on board.
Standing upon the pier at the close of the day.
he was gazing sorrowiully upon the huge pile
enveloped on every side and covered by its snowy
shroud.
Ills ship advertised to sail. the delay would be
Of serious Inconvenience to him were he to await
as he supposed he should be compelled to. a day
or two for q gang of laborers to shovel out his
pile Of boards from beneath the snow accumula-
ted drifts While in this mood. he was accosted
by young man of his acquaintance, who asked
him the hour; the merchant replied and at the
same time asked the young man why he did not
carry watch of his own. The response was that
he could not afford it. followed by the inquiry Of
what was the price of good gold watch
Well said the merchant, a good gold watch
cosIs from one hundred to one hundred and fifty
dollars and added. by way of a banter, that he
would giUe him good one. if he would shovel off
and dig out that pile Of boards before him, be-
fore breakfast the next morning.
The young man glanced at it a moment. and
in decided tone declared his readiness TO do il :
the merchant laughed as they parted little think
ing that one single person would attempt such an
bppulCiltI1 lIipOrSlDlc tush Dul Hc udu nllStaKCH
his man.
That same evening at about o'clock, the
young man might have been seen, as the nov
elists say, (if there had been any moon) vending
his way with his shovel on his shoulders from
Bunker Hill, Charlestown, to the end of wharf
in Boston, at which place be attacked the drifts
that surrounded and covered the huge pile of
lumber lie shovelled assduously hour after
hour, for in his bright lexicon Of youth there was
no such word as fail he labOred steadily on
with no companions but the stars, (of the frma-
ment we mean) and no music but tho winter IS
wind. which was rather too sharp to be agreeable,
even to the most cultivated ear.
At length the tardy morning sun shone up
on the scene Of his labors, displaying a vast pile
of boards, over two hundred feet in length fifty
in width, and six in height, which were complete
ly cleared of the drifts of snow that had been up
on and about them from the depth of one to three
feet.
Having accomplished his task, and thoroughly
dug out the lumber from the drifts ready for
loading, he shouldered his shovel and marched
home to breakfast after which he repaired to
the counting room of the astonished merchant for
the prize which he had so fairly earned.
We presume the latter who promptly paid the
forfeit, will in future be cautious of the offers he
makes to genuine Yankee. The young man
above mentioned is Boston boy, about Il years
OF age, and unused to laborjous employment

THE CHTGDREN's REBrKE-We had quarreled
with friend harsh words were spoken, each one
sinking down in the heart like a globe of molten
iron. The next day we met, and each passed in
silence each felt guilty and ashamed, but too
proud to confess wrong. Adjoining our apart
ment two little children slept and having retired
early TO rest, moody and discOntcntcd, and an
cry with all the world, We heard the door Of the
door Of the little chldrcn's room open, and the
little woocrs of SOmnus came dancing in as light
ly as though they knew not that Sleep was the
brother of Death, Presently the house was hush
ed and the eldest of the twain said Our Faith

and the little thing bad forgotten half the prayer,
but she remembered the words. /0ygioe us 0ur

martyrs risen from the dead and preached to us
from their open sepulchres, their united voices
had not been half so eloquent, and long after The
children had gone to sleep the voice of conscience
kept reitcrating their petition. Morning came
and the twilight stole in through the easement
and brought with it a reconciliation. God had
spoken ont Of the mouth of Il child. eloouently
and terribly, as though the rebuke fell from a
cliff in the sky, The leaves Of many summers
have fallen since then, and the stone over our
friend's resting place has grown messy and gray.

No God

The following verses, by that sweetest of Amer
lean poetesses, Mrs. Lydia Huntloy Sigourney
suggested by the words in the l4th Psalm o
David The fool hath said in his heart There i
no Gods one of the finest things in the Ian
guage
No GODr No GoDf The simplest flower
That on the wild is found,
Shrinks as it drinks its cup of dew,
And trembes at the sound
No God H-astonished Echo cries
From out her cavern hoar,
And every wandering bird that flies
Reproves the Atheist-lore.
The solemn forest lifts its head
The Almighty TO proclaim,
The brooklet on its crystal urn,
Doth leap to grave His name
How swells the deep and vengeful sea,
Along his billowy track
The red Nesuvius opes his mouth,
To hurl the falsehood back.
The palm tree with its princely crest,
The cocoa's lcaiy shades,
The bread-frut bending TO its lord,
In yon far-island glades
The winged seeds that borne by winds
The rowing sparrows feed,
The melon on the desert sands,
Confute the scorner's creed.
No God ! With Indignation high
The fervent sun is strr'd.
And the pale moon turns palcr still,
At such an impious word;
And from their burning thrones the stars
Look down with angry eye,
That thus worm Of dust should mock,
Eternal majesty.

CoAL AND GOLD,--Thc gold product of Califor-
MIA is about fifty millions a year the coal pro-
duet Of Pennsylvania is nearly forty millions. Is
not Pennsylvania more blessed in her coal than
California in her gold? We think so. We would
not turn our mines Of coal into gold, if we could
do it with a turn Of the hand. A lato account
says that more people has left California this
year than has goac there From all accounts the
Pacific slope has delightful climate--one of the
most delightful in the world-but then the dis
tancc People rush into Illinois, aud Iowa, and
Michigan, and Kansas, and Wisconsin, and Min
nesota and all adjacent regions because by
means Of the railroad and river the produce Of
their lands is but few days travel from the East
crn markets but California and Oregon and
Washington must wait until great markets begin
gradually to form on their own side of the CONT
nent. A Pacific railroad would be blessing to
them and us for many reasons-but the cost Of
importation for farm produce would probably be
too great, TO allow Of its entering in competition
with that of the Mississippi region; therefore
even il the railroad were built, they could not
derive any advantages from it in this reSpect.-
Only indirectly would it aid the farmers in pc
cuniary sense by greatly promoting the growth
probably of their home markets. If the trade Of
Asia could be directed through California aud
this continent, San Francisco would become one
of the great cities of the world. And if railroads
can successfully compete with water carriage even
in the transportation of such articles as grain
and coal, we do not see why Pacific Railroad
should not successfully compete for the carriage
Of the less bulky drugs. teas silks, &c, of Asia
at least for that proportion Of them which is con
sumed in North America -Philadeiphia Paper.

NAGRANTs IN CALIFoRNIA.--It is astonishing
the number of vagrants in California. In every
city and town in the State there can be found
more or less men who have not been known for
years to do u days honest work, yet they live
better than those who work hard. and are as lIn-
troubled at passing events as though they posses
scd millions. On Thursday, there were seven
teen young men in the Police Court ut San Fran
cisco, charged with yagrancy. all Of whom were
able bodied individuals. but too lazy to work so
long MS they could obtain sufficient to eat and
drink without doing so. In this city there arc at
least fifty persons Wcll-known to the police, who
never work an hour in year but live from day
to day. and from hand to mouth Just as circum
stances permit Some Of them are very gentccllY
dressed and have all the appearance of gentle
men, associating with the most respectable pcr-
sons in town, yet they have no visible means of
support, and are almost invariably without funds
4 portion Of this so-called respectable class of
loafcrs. live in a manner little suspected by the
majority of those with whom they associate We
are told by members Of the police, who certainly
ought 10 know, and doubtless do that many of
them are supported by the very lowest and most
vile prostitutes in town. who. for the sake of hav-
ing person as a sort Of protector though they
generally are well able to fight their own battles,
supply them with dollar or two Il day for indis-
pensablcs. and take them in doors at two and
three o'clock in the morning when all possibility
Of collision with others is ObViatcd These same
individuals are often seen by the guardians Of
the night watching near the doors of their sup
portors, for hours at time, waiting for clear
coast and thus they pass their hours ofcxistence
struggling miscrably through lie. all because
they are too idle and lazy TO work. Such men
as we allude to. and there are many who will
doubtless feel the personality OF itare oltcl fore
