Our Brown SPARRow.--We have a nice, brown
sparrow-that is, if he be not exactly ours he
belongs to no one else. lie sits on the very up
permost twig of a chapparel and leaning back
and opening his mouth very wide, sings most me-
lodiously, in his own belief, and that of female
friend, who is being confined down in the crotch
of the bush. Senior sparrow has an idea that
Weaverville is entirely dependant on his vocal
powers for musical entertainments hence the wide
opening of his mouth and his peculiarly erect
attitude. He thinks that voice of his rings all
about the hills, up and down the glens-every-
where Prodigously happy is that cock sparrow;
there is only one drawback to extreme coniugal
felicity-'tis big brindle cat who sits on a
stump, making believe to be asleep, but she's
all the time watching him out of one corner of
her eye Some day, we fear, when Sehor sparrow
is in sedate and medtative mood, pop goes The
weazel.'

CALIFORNIA WIDows'- are told that in
the States the phrase, California widow has be-
come an epthet of reproach and taunt. 'Oh,
she's California widow her husband has been
gone seven yearsp says the sneeling harlot
who ridicules the faithful wife sitting in her bro
ken household The infidelity of a few is visited
on the innocent until she who with heart unpol
ted with the cruel fanes of scandal, while her
tears of descrtion distil on the pillow which she
has smoothed thousand times for one who
comes not And who's to blame for her exposure
to the taunting sarcasm of undetected guilt =
Not always he who with unshaven face and down
cast eye sits alone at his wooden Fireplace pre-
pairing scanty meal. Seven years deserted and
outlawed by the marital statutes, divorced by
the multiplied invertings of times hour glass, he
is still faithful to the companion of his youth
The mouth that would speak lightly of her chas-
tity and truth would feel the crushing weight of
his boot-heel There are persons in the mines
who during seven years OF labor and frugality
have never had five hundred dollars at time
II would require all their store to pay the ocean
transit tax they cannot and will not go home,
from the land of gold, dead broke to be ridi-
culed for failure, and so work on, hoping, des-
pairing, trusting to the miners golden hued to-
who, in spite of time and deserton and despair
itself, still look for them, hopefully in innocence,
purity and truth.

FREE JoURN AIISM.-It is truth that we have
in this State no political journal of extended in-
fueuce, and of sufficient intellectual vigor to
teach the science of politics and create political
sentiment, al follow in certain laid down
track, which, to diverge fromi is excOnmunica-
ton. Some are sustained by the leakage Of the
Custom House, others by the countenance and
patronage of some little great man of local cell
ebrity. But we have no authoritative political
instructor, whose arguments force the respect of
antagonistic governmental ereeds,
We have been amazed that the Democratic
party of this State great as it is, and dominant
as 1t must be for years to come, has no organ OF
exposition equal TO its requirements. They have
not engaged men OF exalted mind, capable of in
struttng but have permitted weak and imbecile
persons to occupy exalted station from which
they descended to the little trickery of secondary
influence. We can conceive of no more desirable
position than the editors place in journal to
which hundreds of thousands look for opinion
We could nominate now, perhaps, half dozen
men who, in such position, would hold power
greater than that of all the political Journals of
the State, put together; but instead of that the
weakest of all political journalists are in the
places which mind would make influential, while
men of talent and genius, even, are carrying on
a border warfare, unsupported and, comparative
ly, unhcard.
Our State is scourged by small politicians who
in great degree, govern the political press die
tating doctrines and threatening ohliteraton as
the penalty of dsObedience. This is the way
they keep in power, aud through the servility Of
the party press they inflated to dcticious magi
nitudc and pass for great men, An intelligent,
independently thinking editor would not suit
them ; his keen scrutiny and equal adjustment OF
merit balances would knock out their brains
against the beam
And thus party press misrcprescnts the peo-
ple and helps to keep them subsGrvient to little
cabal not of their own choosing, and which isnot
an average of party Intelligence.
