CALIFORNIA AND AUSTRALIA. A
late number of the Melbourne (Austra-
lia) Herald complies from authentic sour
ces the amount of gold obtained from the
mines of that country, for each year of
the seven, which terminated in the year
1857. The grand total is $3.50, 900, 900.
The total in 1857 was forty-nine and
half millions, or three millions short of
the product of 1856, which latter year
was the most productive ever known in
Australia. During the same seven years,
the mines of California have produced
three hundred and thirty eight millions
of dollars worth of gold, or sixty-seven
millions more than the total of Austria
liza. The product Of California in 1857
was trihe short of forty eight millions,
and slight increase upon the product of
1856. The largest amount obtained was
in 1856, ffty-seven millions. The Aus
tralia gold is valued much higher than
that of California, viz: at twenty dollars
the ounce, which is believed to be toe
high. Whatever the over estimate may
be, it increases the value in favor of Cal
ifornia. The combined production of the
mines of the two countries, for the seven
years, was six hundred and eight mill
ions of dollars

der command of Capt. Joaquin de la Tore
who had joined Padilla with company
of sixty-fve men, making their total
eighty-fve Ford had but eighteen, six
prisoners and twenty-five horses, requiring
at least four men to guard-however, they
were brave, and feared no risk Ford
divided his men into two platoons, of
seven each, and charged upon the Mexi-
cans to about one hundred yards, when
they suddenly threw themselves from their
horses and took to trees, which the enemy
considering to be panic, charged upon
Ford's men, who let them come up to
about twenty yards, when one platoon
cleared seven saddles of their riders. The
Californians were surprised; at first tried
to rally, and then fled separately in every
direction. The second platoon now made
good use of their reserved fire, killing two
and wounding four men and one horse.
De la Tore fed towards San Rafael
Ford returned to Sonoma with some ff-
teen prisoners and about three hundred
horses.

STALAcTITEs.-At a meeting of the
Boston Natural Historical Society, Prof.
w. b. Rogers stated that number of
years since he had made experiments in
the stalactitic caverns of Virginia, for the
purpose of obtaining data in regard to
the age of these deposits. He placed YES.
sells in an unfrequented part of the cave,
beneath the drippings of various dimen-
sions, where they remained for period
of from five to seven years. He arrives
at the conclusion, as the results of his
observations, that the rate of accretion IS
one-tenth of an inch in fifty years, As
there are several feet of accumulated de-
post in some places, he thinks that the
process must have been going ON for at
least five thousand years.

WEALTH OF VIM. B. AsToR.-Those
who have any kind of facilities for form
ing an idea of the wealth of VIM. B. AS
tor, estimate that it amounts to $4O,OOO,-
600 or $50, 100000. 1t is mostly in real
estate. He lives plainly, but still is not
niggardly. He has five children-three
sons and two daughters. The two daugh-
ters married rich, as also did the eldest
son. The youngest son is mentally weak.
Astor himself is now in Paris. He and
his eldest son divide their time in living
between this country and Europe.

MAxIMs. Ms.-Persevere against discour-
agements. Keep your temper. Employ
leisure in study, and always have some
work in hand. BE punctual and method
ical in business, and never procrastinate.
Never be in hurry. Preserve self-pos-
session and be not talked out of a convic-
tion. Rise early, and be an economist of
time. Maintain dignity, without the ap-
pearance of pride; manner is something
with everybody and everything with some.
Be guarded in discourse, attentive and
slow to speak. Never acquiesce in i'm
moral or pernicious opinions. Be not for
ward to assign reasons to those who have
no right to ask. Think nothing in con-
duct unimportant and Indifferent Prac-
tice strict temperance, and in all your
transactions remember the final account

Ode to Impudence.


Thy trophies first are seen
In youths and maidens tender, young and green,
Who stalk the streets about
Before their doting mothers know they re out;
See how these infant swells
Gallant their baby-belles,
Who know much more
Than their mammas found out at twenty -four;
They feel the early fame at seven;
At nine
They languish, sigh and pine;
Kisses and long embraces at eleven
Give them an antepast of Heaven,
Till dying to be welded at thirteen.
A moonlight runaway concludes the scene
The mincing maid,
Let loose from school,
Hoped bustled high-heeled. stayed,
Pert as jay and stubborn as q mule.
Proves to the world that she has learned to faint
To dip, to lily white and paint
And lift her skirt so high
That the unwilling eye.
May see the neatness OF her garters tie.
Oh. lmpudence, thou hast removed
The childish innocence we loved;
No more we see
The native blush of modesty;
Saucy and malapert
Each girl a coqaette and each boy fiirt;
Forward and bold,
They honor not the old
Not even the sire,
Who sits unhonored by his cherries fire
Nor her who bore the brood,
The Kissing vipers Of ingrattude. Joul

WAsHINGToN's WIFE.-A guest at
Mount Vernon happened to sleep in a
room next to that occupied by the Presi-
dent and his lady. Late in the evening,
when the people had retired to their vari-
GUS chambers, he heard the lady deliver
ing very animated lecture to her lord
and master upon something which he had
done, and she thought ought to have been
done differently. To all this he listened
In the profoundest silence; and when she
too was silent, he opened his lips and
spoke: "Now, good sleep to you, my
dear. Portraits and descriptions of her
show her to have been pretty, agreeable,
kind little woman, from whom it really
could not have been so disagreeable to
have curtain lecture.

FORGERY OF FRAZER RIVER LET
TERs.-The Columbia Gazette has the
following:
We have learned on good authority
that the letter sent from Victoria, a few
weeks since, purporting to have been
written by Sol. Carter, is forgery. He
dld, indeed, write letter to his friends:
but that letter, it is supposed, was, for
sinister purposes, taken from the Ex.
press, Its contents appropriated, and such
additions made as would mislead the
friends OF Carter, and take them off on
the wild chase for Frazer river.

By hammer and hand
All trades do stand"

Prosperity always attends a nation in
which the mechanic arts flourish. Wher-
ever the mechanics are in low condition,
the mass of the people sink to the same
level; a general poverty, at least, isalways
the consequence. Turn our eyes to what
ever quarter of the world we may, and
these assertions will be fully borne out by
the condition of the various peoples inhab-
iting our globe. Those, therefore, who
are engaged in the mechanics Institutes
and other kindred societies, are doing a
noble work for their country and fellow
men in their endeavors to raise the dig
nifty of their callings and to render the
mechanic arts respectable and fourishing.

@ Newspaper patronage" is curl
Gus thing in the estimation of some people.
A man lives near you-never took your
paper-don't like your politics-too whig-
gish-too old fogyish-or too something
else, yet goes regularly to his neighbor'
and reads it by good fre-fnds fault
with its contents, disputes with its posi-
tion, and quarrels with its type. Occa-
sionally sees an article he likes-saves a

AS fades the long bright summers day
Before the night;
AS droops the flowers to decay,
In morn's soft light
As south winds to the woodlands give
Their sweet, warm kiss,
So fed his pining soul, to live
In realms of bliss.
In that far cline, where Eden breathes
Its golden bloom,
And angels twine their fairest wreaths
Amid perfume,
He dwells with joy-tinted flowers
And snowy birds,
While spirit-hymns wake the bowers,
Too sweet for words.
Brother, husband, father and friend,
What can | say
To roll the gloom from hearts which bend
Beneath its sway;
And let the full food-tide of Joy
Within once more,
Unmingled with base alloy
From sorrows store?
Now, weeping friends embalm his worth
In holy tears,
Who freely shar'd his joyous mirth
Of other years;
And mourn in secret, when the night
Glides gently down,
While floating starlets shed their light
Where shadows frown.
But let each heart forget its grief,
Its woe and pain,
And know the parting here is brief
To meet again;
And tho the tears we here must shed,
Sleep in our eyes,
An earthly sorrow dare not tread
In Paradise.
l knew him when the morn of life
Was bright and clear,
And when his manly heart was rife
With visions drear;
When sickness, with mighty hand
Would bear him down,
And fortunes smiles so free and bland,
Came as frown.
A pilgrim on Life's troubled sea,
He is at rest,
And flowers bend in purity
Above his breast;
Sweetly he slumbers meath the sod
Of vernal bloom,
While roses shed their sweets abroad,
Around his tomb.

PosT OFFICE DECIsIoN-The Post
master General has decided that where
letters reach any post Office, addressed to
" fictitious names or parties," they shall
not be delivered to any one claiming to
be the representatives, but shall be sent
to the Department as dead letters. The
instruction to postmasters under this de-
cision is, that such letters shall be return
ed to the General Post Office Gin due
course of time that is, we infer, that
such letters are not to be specially sent to
Washington, but remain in the several
offices the usual time before they be SO
sent.
