THE DIGNITY OF LABoR.-Without mo-
tivcs for exertion, without laborto occupy,
and it's rewards to stimulate us, what
were life but the performance Of animal
functions common to us and toS'the beasts
that perish" If we had harvest without
seed-time if nature spread before us all
and always the spontaneous products of
the earth; if food and clothing were the
gifts of her bounty, instead of being the
result of human industry, we might still
walk erect in the image of God; but we,
should look around upon the fair face of
nature, almost equally Indifferent to this
work ofhis hand and to the great purpo-
ses of life.-HoN LEWIS CAss. ~

THE FARMGR.-What occupation is
there upon earth that is more conducive
to health, independence, long life and hap
piness than the farmers? Engaged as he
is in a pursuit i'll which the first human
being that ever was on earth was engae-
ed. for when God created Adam and plac-
ed him in the garden of Eden he command
ed him to till the earth, and the farmer
is engaged in thc same occupation. 1l+e
farmer who causes one spre of grass TO
CROW where there was none, does more
than the greatest merchant that ever liv-
cd, for in the mercantile business it is on
Iy exchanging goods from one hand to
another, and of course he brings nothing
into the world, while on the other hand,
the farmer is continually causing vegeta-
ton to grow.
Again, the farmers lot is the most con-
tented of any; he who raises his own
bread by the sweat of his brow, has it
honestly; he does not wiring it from The
hand of his neighbor by an improper or
false story.
Why is it that public men, when they
retire from public life, choose the cultiva-
ton of the soil as their employment? 1t
is because it is the most healthy and pleas
inc occupation of liGe-Nor7coy -1dreriser.

are rosebugs, which have within few
years prodigiously increased in number,
attacking at random various kinds of
nlants in swarms and have become noto-
rious for extensive and deplorable rava-

cherry, plum, and apple trees, have annu-

other fruit trees and shrubs, garden vcge-
tables and corn, and even the trees Of the
forest and the grass of the fields have
been laid under contribution by these in

from the ground during the second week
in june and remain from thirty to forty
days. When they appear as bugs they
may be crushed, scalded, or burned to de-

the following story is a fact Two boys
of tender years, who went BY the names
of Tom and Jack, became members OF a
district school in New England town.
On making their appearance, the teacher
called them up before the assembled

to the first one, "what is your name:

RICH ORE FROM EsMERALDA-Nr F. ].
Hughes, who has recently arrived from the
silver regions on the eastern side of the Sier-
ra Nevada, has some of the most beautiful
specimens of ore yet exhibited in this city.
Good judges believe that the Esmeralda Dis
trict, whence they were obtained, will total
ly eclipse anything yet found at Washoe.-
These specimens are from the "Great Re-
public" lead-the richest at Esmeralda; and,
having been assayed carefully by DIR. John
A. Featch, that chemist eertihes that the ore
contains S2,333 in silver, and S702 in gold
total, 5000 per ton. The specimens were
knocked of from the top of the ledge which
outcrops in a number Of places. The most
celebrated mines in Bolivia, Mexico, or Peru,
which have mainly supplied the world with
silver for the lat two centuries, prospected
no better than this, when originally d,scov-
cred. Who can compute the limitless wealth

EXECUTION OF CAGR.--At Carson City on
Friday last, John Carr was hung for the
murder of Bernard Cherry. The Silver
Age of Saturday has the following editorial
notice Of the execution:
Friday the 30th, called together a large
crowd of people who naturally desired to
witness the first attempt to vindicate the
majesty cf the laws in this Territory. Des-
peradoes have so long bid defiance to the e-
gal authorities, that aw-abiding citizens can
scarcely realize that Justice could be execu-
ted; but seeing is believing. and the evil
dence of our senses convinces us, that the dav
has gone 10y, when the knife and the pistol
can he used with impunity, when each man
shall be the avenger of his own wrongs, real
or imaginary.
We were present at the execution but did
not arrive in time to hear his remarks, which,
we are told, were delivered with great firm
ness lie professed to have found forgive
ness for his many sins, and thanked God that
in his death he was made useful to his kind.
at few moments before three p NJ the
moose was placed about his neck, his arms
and feet lashed before the cap was placed
over his head, he bid last farewell to all in
strong voice. his face was covered, the
drop fell, and John Carr went to his last ac-
count"
The Age has also the following:
"The confession of John Carr, written by
d. B. Milne, was issued from the Silver Age
office yesterday. We have not examined the
work, and cannot speak of its literary mer-
it's, of our own knowledge. but understand
that it is we'll got up, and is in all probabii,

CHINESE MEDICATION miner of our ac-

been for long time, tortured with the very
worst kind of rheumatism. Having tried
several American and European physicians
without avail, he was induced. week ago,
by the enthusiastic recommendations of his
friends to submit his case to the wisdom OF
celebrated Chinese doctor in his neighbor
hood. The almond-eyed Galen examined the
patient with due gravity, and then gave him
n large. Opaque bottle, filled with some sort
of medicine. which tasted very much like
first class brandy and which our rheumatic
friend swallowed with infinite relish
Whether the medicine was really the cause
of the cure, or whether the rheumatism de-
parted Of its own accord, is a problem which
we do not feel called upon to solve, but one
thing is certain, that our rheumatic friend
got well Just as the bottle gave up the last of
its fluid contents Having drained the last
drop, and finding that some flabby substance
remained behind, in the hope of discovering
the secret Of the wonderful panacea, he
broke the bottle, and found, to the horror OF
his stomach, that he had been imbibing the
juices of three large lizards Whether he
has paid his doctors bill is more than we

bury the woman. so they put her in the hole,
placed board upon her, and some stood

The North Vest, published in Washington
Territory, has the following.

y
On Thursday night last while the steamer
Brother Jonathan was lying at Esqumalt,
four British sailors bestowed themselves on
board, and were not discovered until the
ship neared the American side. Captain
Staples, not liking the idea of aiding run
aways, determined to return them to their
old quarters on board the man-of- war, and
accordingly restrained them from coming on
shore at Port Townsend. Information was
laid before United States Commissioner Van
Bokkelen, who issued document requiring
cause to be shown why they were deprived
of liberty. The men were Consequently
liberated, and are now in the fullest enjoy
ment of American sovereignty
