Things to C5serisls.

The eyes that look with love on thee
That brighten with thy y.smilc,
S0r mulely bid thee hope again,
If thou att sad awhile
The cycsthat, when no wqtds are ,bscatbcd
Gazo fondly into thine
oh, cherish them, ere they grow dim;
They may not always shine.
Tho faithful hearts around thee,
That glow with love and youth,
That ,imo and care nc'cr yet have scored,
Nor rayislled Of their truth;
'The heart whose ,beatings we have heard,
When throbbing near our own
Oh, cherish them--tiose boatings hushed,
Eartb's dearest tones arc gono.
The days when there arc hearts and eyes
That tbrob and beam for thee;
The few feet hours while life doth seem
Bright as a summer sea;
Tho thrilling moments when TO speak
Tho full Hearts Joy is vain
oh, chcrisI, thom-A once gone, aIos,
They ne'cr return again.

Goo@ Xts.-In the trial Of Lane

of Jenkins the attorneys used a good
deal of pungent wit and sarcasm. One

Col. Young insisted that, in law, the
man slain is supposed to be wrongfully
slain.

The less you leave your children

twenty years afterwards. Wealth in.
herited should be an incentive to excr-
ton. Instead of that cit is the title

self. A ready made fortune, ike ready
made clothes, seldom ft the man who

over all difficulties, beginning with the

FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 18TH, 1858.
yillainy OF Sacramento Lawyer.

=
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 18th.
Considerable excitement was caused to-
day by the report of heavy defalcations on
the part. of X. H. Stanley, lawyer and an
old and we'll known resident. 1t is said
they amount to not less than $50 900. STAN
lev was a searcher of records, and had the
coincidence of most of the wealthy prosti-
tutes Of this city, by whom he was employed
as an agent to let out their money on mortg-
ages lie had also the confidence of seve-
al real estate holders. Stanley received
money from different persons to the amount
of from one to three thousand liars, each,
and would give mortgage of 81 200 to four
or five different persons on property not
worth over Sl,000-they trusting him to
search the records. There are many acts of
more henous character alleged against
him, the true nature of which are not fully
explained 1t is said that even the county
records have been tempered with. Mortg-
agors have paid him money to discharge the
mortgages upon their estates, which he did
did not do, but pocketed the money instead
of handing it to the mortgage and making
it right on the record 1t was a transact
ion OF this kind that led to his detection. He
had loaued $1,000 for girl named Jennie
culltu Ou the proper W VI a MI. haNiiu. Iuo
girl wanted her money, and Stanley had OBJ
tanned it of Ravin, but did not discharge
the mortgage on the record, as ne promised.
He told the girl that Ravlin would not pay.
After some time the, girl went to RavliD.
and an exposure took place She told her
friends, and there was general uproar.
Betha Mckay. who had entrusted him with
$4,000, managed to seize upon Stanley's
Office furniture, clothes, and gold watch.
Stanley was a fancy man, aud one garment
was valued at $500.
1t is said that others were in collision
with him, some of them real estate holders.
Stanley left in days boat, but it is ex-
pected he will be arrested at Benca. Cad
Woods followed him to the boat with revolver
but she not overtske him.
The following named persons have en-
trusted with funds Sally Robinson, S6 900,
Cad Woods, $40 900; Bertha Mckay, $4 500;
