THE NIGHT SoNG OF THE YUBA.-
The Yuba is pretty stream-a talking,
singing, impetuous stream; and its father
and mother are the giant Sierras. The
pretty stream has voice that seems to be
the ceaseless flow of mysterious echoes;
the rocks and pebbles are speaking through
the water-it is their medium of express
sion, their eloquent yet Intellectual orator.
But we said the pretty stream was sing
ing stream. We were right, for eloquence
is always the best of songs. Perhaps we
hear the pretty stream more distinctly
than the many who have long been beside
its banks; we are close to its rough and
winding shore, and in the night time,
when the other sounds that daily float on
passing day are lessened of their vigor,
we think we hear the pretty stream speak
ing in poetic numbers, then in prayer,
then in most melodious song. May it not
have a night song, with which itserenades
the bushes and the flowers? may it not
have hymn which it sends nightly to
the mountains and the stars, or higher
still, to where the highest of the high i'm
mortal are thought to dwell? Well, sing
on pretty stream; sound forth unceasing-
ly, mysterious yet softly-beautiful night
song of the Yuba Sierra Citizen.

As medical man, it is the duty of everv
physician to look at disease as it effects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power the bodily
suffering. Human nature at best is bnt frail :;
all are liable to misfortune
OF all the ills that affect man. none are more
terrible than those of a private nature. Dread
tul as it is in the person who contracts it,
trightful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and a
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater inn
portance when it is transmitted to innocent
offspring. Such being the case, how necessary
it becomes that every one having the least
reason to fear that they have contracted the
disease, should attend to it at once, by consult
ing some physician, whose rcspectability and
education enables him to warrant safe speedy
and permanent cure. In accordance with this
necessity, DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to
state that by long study and extensive prac-
tice, he has become perfect master of all those
diseases which come under the denominations
OF venereal, and having paid more attention to
that branch than any other physician in the
United States. he feels himself better qualified
to treat them.

ton.
The Doctor effects cure in receiving cases
IN few days, and finds no difficulty in curing
those of long duration, without submitting the
patient to such treatment as will draw upor
him the slightest suspicion, or oblige him t.

The SUCKER.-He is low fish and
delighteth in low haunts and unwhole-
some companionship. lie hangeth at the
grog-shops and taketh free snifters from
all manner of men. For none who prof
fer to him the invigorating glass ever see
him turn away empty. Where the jolly
companions gather to take little of the
right sort, there abideth also the sucker,
and he lacketh not the courtesy of CRATE
full acceptance. He anticipateth the re-
quest and cleaveth lovingly to the coun-
ter. His practice at the bar is extensive.
Meanwhile the wife of the sucker wears
patched gown, and his children 90 rag
ged to school They eat the rye-bread of
bitterness, and very little even of that
His sons grow up to be thieves; his
daughters follow in the ways of the un-
fortunate. And presently the sucker
having sucked up from the mud of his
life all manner of poison and unwhole-
someness, turns into his bed some fine
day and his useless life fickers out.
The gentleman sucker is an entirely
different fish. In appearance, he is shah
by genteel; in manners "neat" and
plausible. He does not frequent low sa-
looms, nor keep bad company For he
sucks his substance from other things than
mud Though generally termed suck
er, this creature would more appropriately
be called a leech or blood-sucker-
Though not, by any means, deer, he
may be said to fawn considerably Tho
he be- not bird d-fancier, yet he carries
about with him a capacious swallow
When he diddles he brings scripture to
his aid !: He was a stranger and [ took
him inw He eats his friends dinners.
He wears his tailor's clothing Shoema-
ker, halter and fancy storekeeper clothe
his extremities. He is always in want of
sums varying from " half" to ''fifty."
He generally gets them. His pleas are
ingenious and various An expected draft

ner will pay him large sum in a few
days; he has note to pay, and is little
cramped; there is valuable package at
the express office which he wishes to get
out Immediately, and he has left his wal
let in his other pants. So he talks-and
he gets the spondulix. 1t is astonishing
for how long a time he can swim upon
the wave of general credit. But it at
length breaks under him. Then he

Wind Mills! Wind Mills! !!
DERRICK'S
Pa ent Revolving
Self-Reguiating Wind EKiEis.
JOHN DERRICK, ,:::::MANUFAcTURER,
Channel street, Stockton.

HvHE PROPRIETOR OF THESE JUSTLY
i celebrated mills, which took the first pre-
MUM at the State Fair of 1857, held in Stock
ton, would inform gardners, farmers, miners
and Others that he is now manufacturing his
Improved Wind Mill, to order, at the most
reasonable rates The fans, running gear,
traverse and self-regulating machinery being
all of solid iron, firmly bound together in one
piece so as to prevent the possibility of getting
out of order. These mills are superior to all
others on account of their cheapness and du-
rability. They combine every facility to effect
the purpose for which they are made, besides
having a self-traversing plateau and self
regulating apparatus to govern the motion OF
the wheel. The principle on which the ma
chinery works, is to throw the wheel off the
wind during strong gale, by having double
tails or dog-vanes attached so that they will
spread before the wind in moderate breeze,
but contract in stiff gale, throwing the wheel
clear off the wind while, as the gale subsidies,
weights (which are attached for the purpose, J
gently bring the fans of the wheel around into
the eve of the wind, when the wheel will re-
sumo its accustomed gentle evolutions
These mills positively not liable to get out
of repair) the best now in use, and their
durability, cheapness and simplicity, make
them more desirable than all others first
class mill, of the largest size, can be furnished
for S65.
Mills built on the same principle, without
the self-regulating apparatus, will be furnished
much cheaper. One of these mills will raise
water sufficient to thoroughly irrigate two
acres of ground, and will pump seventy five
barrels of water in three hours time; and as
the sea breeze extends over almost the entire
State but few places can be found where there
is not always sufficient wind to drive these
mills.
BESs@ All orders sent to JOHN DERRICK,
Stockton, will be promptly attended to. Ev-
cry iron necessary to attach the motive power
to the pump, with weights, bolts, &C., furn-
ished with the mill.

THE FARMER. an exchange paper
we find the following just tribute to the
influence that agriculture exerts upon all
the varied interests of society.
What sovereign man is the lntelll-
gent, Industrious farmer. Within his
own realm of earth, he wields a sceptre to
which all must bend The balance of the
worlds life and comfort he holds in his
stalwart hand Neither courts, nor camps,
nor armies, nor fleets, can exist without
his aid. He is the feeder; aye, and the
garmenter, virtually, of the race. Cities
spring from the traffic in the products of
his industry. Commerce is born at his
bequest. OF the state he is the g first
estate. = Lord of the land, no man has
hrmer hold of the essential title of nobil-
,ty. And he needs no pleader, because
ne Is farmer. The day is past when
tne sou tiller was confounded with the
clod turned by his plow.
Inc SOIL Is his servitor; he smites it
and 10. the harvest comes forth. The
hoe and the sickle make him music brayer
than dulclmers, and sound the march of
a triumph, grand as it is peaceful and
blessed. But he is not forever in the fnr.
row. For him are honors linked 70 hos,,
ties and VISIONS; for him, periods 81
communion and rapture, of which the
birds, the flowers, the streams, the stars
and all wondrous things of the universe
may bear witness.

THE HOPEFUL BUILDER.-A swallow
in the spring came to our granary, and
meath the ewes essayed to make nest,
and there did bring wet earth and straw
and leaves. Day after day she toiled
with patient heart; but ere her work was
done, some sad mishap the tiny fabric
spoiled, and dashed it to the ground =
She found the ruin wrought, but not cast
down, forth from the place she flew; and
with her mate, fresh earth and grasses
brought, and built her nest anew. But
scarcely had she placed the last soft feath-
er OF its ample floor, when wicked hand
or chance, again laid waste and wrought
the ruin Ger. But still her heart She
kept, and toiled again; and last night,
hearing calls, looked, and 10! three lit
tie swallows slept within the earth-made
walls. What truth is here, O man hath
Hope been smitten in its early dawn, hath
clond o'ercast thy purpose, trust or plan,

THE CosT OF A MODERN BELLE
Some wretched bachelor has made it his
business to ascertain the cost of modern
belle. [ saw her dancing in the ball, he
says; around her snowy brow were set
twenty-five hundred dolars-such would
have been the answer of any jeweler to
the question, "what are those diamonds?"
With the gentle undulation of her bo-
som there rose and fell exactly one hun
dred and fifty-two dollars and fifty cents.
The sum bore the guise of brooch of
gold and enamel. Her fairy form was in
vested in fifty dollars, represented by a
slip of lilac satin; and this was overlaid
by one hundred and fifty dollars more,
in two skirts of white lace. Tastefully
down each side of the latter were six dol
lars and fifty cents, which so many bows
of purple ribbon had come to. The
lower margin of the one-hundred-an
fifty-dollar skirts were edged with fifty
five additional dollars, the value of some
eight yards of additional fringe, quar-
ter of yard in depth. Her taper waist,
taking zone and clasp together, [ calcu-
lated to be confined by one hundred and
fifty dollars. Her delicately rounded
arms, the glove of spotless kid being ad-
ded to the gold bracelet which encircled
the little wrist, may be said to have been
adorned with one hundred and eleven
dollars and thirty eight cents, and putting
the silk and satin at the lowest figure, l
should say she wore four dollars and
eighteen and three-quarters cents, on her
feet. Thus, altogether, was this thing of
light, this creatu of loveliness, arrayed
from top to toe, exclusively of little sun
dries, in three thousand two hundred and
forty dollars and fifty-seven cents.
