Eddyturs Of tho Sunday Times:
s Sothars another gold te,orodr. Frnysirs Riy-
'er is the univarsal cry. Oormus piles of the
preshus is layin strung along the banks of that
ibral fnanshil streem like dust heeps in the
streets of New York, oney waitin for enterprisin
men, pervided with carts and shuvels, to tote
EN- away. Setch is the moose from that regin,
and menny is cort by it ] shall xpress my own
al feelin in Californy peers to be that it is all
blamed pity setch lots of the ror materyal of
tho Sirlilatin mejum should hev been destined
by Providence for the British suvrin insted of
the American eagle. Sum Thinks however,
that Providence sot it thar; for us but that It's
hat by the North Western Boundary Trety.--
Ginral Cass, who wanted to run the line on the
Arctic sirkil, is sed TO be of this opinyun.
When wus in Californy the CLINT of that
ofBrittish America, all the way from Vancu-
vier's Hand to the Rocky Mouutings, wus ,cun-
Esiddered.so inhospital that nobody would go
thar as diddent want to die rite off. 1t seems,
GURUS tharforc, that it should so suddenly hey
BEGUN mild and saluberus, and thatthe misabul
sie, witch was formally about as productive us
a rock lot up town, should myrackulessly hev
turnt inter the finest MANOR, producin eyry-
thing that crowd in the garding of Edin. How
sever, setch is the report from the mouth of
of the astonishin changes which ken be perdoo-
ced by the intlooence of gold. But this is not
the oney suhjeck for wunderment The rein a
few years ago wus sposed to contane $4,000 Of
the hardest kinder buddy Injuns as would ray.
Their peel white mans coconut than eat elk beef
and drink whisky. But now, accordin to the
latest ackounts, these rampagus sayages is SO
lall-thunderin friendly that insted ofskinin Anne
rican miners beds they oney skin EN- of thar
blankets. Sartainly this is surprissn age!
And now line gon to tork serusly. Thars
| a good menny. yung men in this stty as is fierce
for start to the moo L Dorady. Three kun.
panics, / understand, hes been formed and is
bound to go. Eff they do, afore the yeer goes
roand the bones of hafe of these sangwine
greenhorns will be layin longside thar cradles,
and mebbee thar skalps a-dryin in the smoke of
the lnjun wigwarms.
| wisht these yung fellerS as is now up for
Fraysirs River would li1ten to the vice of expc.
renee. Let en- read my letters from Californy
and advice to green minors AS to the hard
ships of the Californy diggins, they're no more
to be compared to the obstckils in thenoo play
sirs than the thorns on a lnuskit bush is to n
thousand chargin bagonets. They'll hev GUNNER
Simson agen EN-, the blastid Injuns agin EN-,
the cold and rocks agn EN-, and the Hudson
Bay kumpanys agents takin all thar piles for
tgrub
Thars ,nenny all stoopid yung fools, no dout, as
thinks gold diggin is plesent pastimc, enliven-
ed by agrecble hopes, like game of seven-up
for dollar, when you hev "high, low, Jack and
the game" your own hand; but ken tell en-
its a thunderin site more like ''fitn the tiger
agin stocked keards and double. bottomed
dealing box. l tride it on, and by chanst it
cum off rite; but for every fortnit hit thars a
thousand misfortune misses I've ben throo the
mill from hopper to spout, and kanddly as a
friend would advise emmy man as is thinkin of
maxim brake for Fraysirs River to jump inter
the North River and goto the devil comfortably
in q siyized kuntry in place of taken setch a
cussed long and painful rode to the same dig
gimgs
Thars plenty of rich holes to wurk hero for
fpkcsas hev the branes to diskivcr EN-, and en-
ergy enuff to bore inter EN-. The proverb ses,
strike vile the iron is hot;" but a man should
be abel to do more'n that-he should be abel to
make The iron hot 6ystrikin. Industry ken sof-
ten the hardest kinder tunes, and airnestly
lreckymend all enterprisin indvidyals that hes
rugged tharselyes out for the gold rein with a
view Of realizing a forth thar, insted of tryin to
get Twin here, to give away the cradle ard the
pick, and take up the shuvel and the hoe in the
street inspectors servis, for wish may be ex-
crushiated eff they don't stand an eyerlastin poor
i.chanst of maxim street sweeper's wages at Fray
sirs River.
Yours allus, A Disc AnDED. yoluxTrER.
