GRASS VALLEY PRoTECTED.-Afri A friend
at Grass Valley informs US that the wa

Hotaling are just the thing. They are
of capacity sufficient to keep four good
size pipes playing for from four to six
hours. The citizens of Grass Valley
feel themselves safe now from destruc-

for $4,000. A hose company has been
organized at the Valley, and some steps
taken to prevent calamities by fire.

THE SUNDAY GLoBE.-Wboever of
our readers does not read the San Fran
cisco Sunday Globe loses a rich repasf
Unlike majority of so-called literary
papers there is the slightest sprinkle of
trash in it. The productions that are
finding their way to the public through
the Cube are worthy of the State and
the authors who write them. The last
number of the Sunday paper contains
several poems of the most undoubted
merit which, if we mistake not, will live
and be admired while a love of the beau
tiful dwells in the human heart. We
have ever wondered that the glowing
genius that gave birth to Thamatopsis
could condescend to stoop from the
proud position that is given him by the
God of Nature, and from the loftiest
poesy condescend to write indf fferent
political leaders. Not less scarcely is
our astonishment that the editor of the
Sunday Globe, whose genius sparkles IN
literary efforts, should be found the ad-
vocate of Lecomptonism, which honestly
seems to US to be the elimination of
wickedness. But such is mankind and
we will endeavor to be charitable in
consideration of the merits We find in
erring members of the family.

The New York Tribune declares itself
willing to support any man for Office, of
whatever political complexion he may
be, provided he be opposed to the Le-
no questions. Greeley must have a
remarkable conscience. Because Doug
las has happened to be consistent and
true for the short space of four years to
one principle, and that principle one
which Greeley has all along denounced
the Tribune is willing to take him and
his kind for standard bearers under
whose colors to do battle. Because the
anti Lecomptonites have not abandoned
the Cincinnati platform which the Tn
bune never approved; is that sufficient
reason for striking hands with them with
all their other political errors unre-
nounced and unatoned for Because
the Douglas wing has proven the truth
of the adage, there is little honor even
among thieves, is that a rational excuse
for joining the garg?
When American manufactures are
paralysed it behooves the patriot poll
tician to seek for some man to take the
helm of affairs who has the clear sighted
ness to see the remedy and honestly
to apply it. When the national Treas
ury is empty the duty of the same is to
give his countenance to the statesman
the tendency of whose political princi-
pies are such as to replenish rather than
exhaust it still farther. When the ma
tional fame is constantly tarnished by
the forays of lawloss brigands on neigh
boring republics, it is the bounden duty
of every patriot to put far from him the
individual whose sympathies are known
to be with flibusters. There is evidence
that the chief of the anti-Lecomptonites
still maintains the heresies we cannot
tolerate. There are questions which
seem to us to lie at the foundation OF
good government on which no Democrat
Of whichever stripe, can be considered
sound; and should all these great things
be overlooked, because the fact looms
up between and we grant it is won
derful fact-that a Democrat has been
found for four long years measurably

Fulton Street Prayer iseeting.

The Christian Intelligencer says:--
Rev. DIR. Vcrmilye, of the Dutch Re-
formed Church, who has recently re-.
turned from Europe, presided at the
prayer meeting on Monday last. He
gave brief account of the interest
manifested in Europe to learn the par
ticulars respecting the state of religion
in this country. Christians everywhere
desire special information concerning
the origin of this prayer meeting; the
method of conducting it; the incidents
connected with it its influence on the
churches, &c. Mr.. Atwill, at preyi-
Gus meeting, made similar statements
of what he had observed during a sum-
mer tour in England and France. He
had frequently been invited to attend
prayer meetings in England, and des-
cribe, to large and attentive audiences,
the minutest particulars pertaining to
this meeting. They both expressed the
conviction that there was a very earn
est desire on the part of Christians in
England, Scotland, France and Switz-
erland, to witness an outpouring of the
Holy Spirit, similar to that which has
blessed this country.

CAUTION TO YOUNG MEN.

Ayoung medical student from Michi.
gan, who had been attending lectures
in New York for some time, and con-
sldered himself exceedingly good look
| ing and fascinating, made deadly on
set on the heart and fortune of bloom
ing young lady who was boarding in
the same house with him. After pro-
longed siege the lady surrendered. They
were married on Wednesday morning.
The same evening the "young wife"
sent for and exhibited to the astonished
student o beautiful little daughter"
three and half years Of age.
"Good Heavens then you were o
widow," exclaimed the astonished stu
dent.
"Yes, my dear, and this is Amelia,
my youngest tomorrow, Augustus,
James and Reuben will arrive from the
country, and then / shall have all my
children together once more"
The unhappy student replied not a
word his feelings were too deep for
utterance. The next day the "other
darlings" started. Reuben was six
years old, james nino, and Augustus
a saucy boy of twelve. They were
delighted to hear they had a "new
papa" because they could now live at
home and have all the playthings they
wanted! (! Their "papa," as soon as he
could speak, remarked that Augustus
and James did not resemble Reuben
and Amelia.
"Well, no." said the happy mother,
"my first husband was quite different
style of man from my sccond-com-
plexion, temperament, color of hair
and eyes--all different"
This was too much. He had not
only married widow, but was her
third husband and the astounded step.
father of four children.
"But her fortune" thought he, "that
will make amends" He spoke of her
fortune.
'Ehese are my treasure" says she,
in the Roman matron style, pointing
to her children. Q
The concoit was now quite taken out
of the Michigander, who, finding that
he had made complete goose of him,
self, at once retired to farm in his IA,
tive State, where he could have chance
to render his "boys" useful, and make
them sweat for the deceit practiced up.
on him by their NJ mother.

The almost universal custom of kiss

strangers coming from the country,
where the proprietics of life rarely per-
nit you to take lady's hand much
less to salute her. In France, to kiss
lady with whom you are not intimate
with is very common; especially is the
case if she be a married lady. Not
only the members of the family, but
all the guests, expect invariably to
salute the lady Of the house, on coming
down in the morning. But though tho
modest American may, perhaps, escape
the ceremony on ordinary occasions,
yet on New Years morning it is inn
perative. On that morning / came

Rev. W. Robinson on the Power of
the Bi6le.-Rev. w. Robinson, Bap-
tist missionary in India, says :-"I can
tell you of a church, the origin Of which
may be traced to the leaving of a New
Testament at a shop, in village. The
missionary wished to give away this
New Testament, but no one would have
it; the Scriptures were not sought af-
ter then as they are now; so he laid it
in a shop, and left it there for any one
who might come to the shop, and wish
for it. The shopkeeper could have
torn it up, but he did not. After a
time, a few hours believe, two or three
men came to his shop, and seeing the
book, opened and read it, and liking it
they took it away with them. The re-
suit was, that several persons from that
village were baptized; the men who
took the Testament, and their wives.
| know the men, and their wives too {;
and the church that sprang up from
this little incident, is as palpable to
the senses as any other church. Come
to Calcutta, cross the river, to little
village called Homrah, and there you
may see, assembled in neat chapel,
the very church in question"
