M. Cbrnsf!--we of the "milder sex"--

DO you notice Sir how our cases, are trea-
ted by the semi barbarisns. who set on

then notice how the press handles us.

and make the best of his way TO

smith relates that he found him
there at opening his shed that the
horse advanced to the forge and
held up his ailing foot and that

covered the injury, took off the shoe
and replaced it more carefully

Foolish THOUeHrs.--We are apt
to believe in Providence so long as
we have our own way but If things
go wrong, the we think, If there is
God, He is in heaven and not on
earth. The cricket in the spring
builds bis little house in the mea-
dow, and chirps for joy, because all
is going so well with him. But
when he hears the sound of the
pillow, a few burrows of, and the
thunder of the oxeDs's tread, then
tho skies begin to look dark, and
his heart fails him. The pillow comes
crushing along, and turns his
dwelling bottom side up, and as he
is rolling over and over, without
home, his heart says, "0b, the
foundations of the world are des-
troyed, and every thing is going to
rain |" But the husbandman, who
walks behind his pillow, singing and
whistling rs lie goes, does he think
the foundations of the world are
breaking upY Why, be does not
40 much as know there was any
house or cricket there. He thinks
Of the harvest that is to follow the
track of the pillow and the cricket,
too, if he will but wait, will find a
thousand blades of grass where
there was but one before. We are
all like the crickcts. Ii any thing
happens To- overthrow our plans,
we think all is gone to ruin.

Intelligence had been received that Gold
was discovered ~ the foot Of the Snowy
Mountains. Small particles had been re
ceived In the city and persons had arrived
with the words In their mouths the cry
was Gold Geld and every body of for
the Gold region. Shops shut up Mer-
chants had no clerks; Seamen deserted
labor, from the scarcity Of hands remain
ing; rose up TO an enormous rate. Soon
all business and work stopped, except the
most urgent. Soldiers deserted the Bar
racks. Neither threats, punishment or
money, could keep men TO their most sol
emn engagements. Gold was the irresis-
table magnet that drew human souls to
the place where II slumbered. Suddenly
swapping asunder the feeble ties Of afIee-
ton and duty the glowing calls Of the
successful miners, caused such attraction.
The Merchants could not even resist the
temptation. They therefore could do no
better then TO pack mp, and hasten after
their customers. II was in the month Of
May that over hry persons LEFT the little
village Of San Francisco, and every day
added TO their lumber.
Some were occasionally returning from
the mines, but they had but little time to
stop and expatiate upon what they had
seen. Their hurrid movements, more than
the words they uttered, excited their curl
osity. and then the eager desire Of others
to accompany them, and 20 1t was day af-
ter day. The Bay was covered with laun-
cbes filed with the excited inhabitants
and their dudds, bpstening up the Ssere-
mento river. Soon, San Francisco was
forsaken by its oldest inhabitants deser-

for the non issue Of a newspaper until bet

retain their servants It was impossible
for them TO do so now as from the Sub, to

The whole country ffUfH Sas Francisco 20
Los Angeles and from the sea shore TO the
Snowy Mouptai ~, resounded with the cry
Of Gold, wbne the field half planted, the
house half built and every thing neglected
but the mandatory Of shovels, picks and
the means Of transportation, where one
man obtained $50 IN one days Gold Wosi-
ing OF the real stuff and the average Of all
concerned was $40 day. On the next
