Since Gov. Dowuey vetoed for want of
general Applicability, the bill appropriating
4 portion OF taxes in certain counties for build
ing roads, il is proposed in the Senate to give
$4,000 out cf the State treasury to make a
Dad 10y the rlacerille route-the least feas-
idle Of all traveled-over the Sierra Nevada.
If it wrong to give the money collected in a
county to the construction of Il State road in
that county, is it right to take the money col
lected on The line Of better route over the
mountains and eXpend it for the nggrlndize
ment of the Pluceryiiie route The $4,000
already expended on that route would have

The Bright Side.

Look on the bright side. It is the
right side. The times may be hard,
but it will make them no easier BY
wearing a gloomy end sad counteuance.
1t is the sunshine and not the cloud tha at
makes The flower. There is always that
before or around us which should cheer
and fill the heart with warmth. The
sky is blue ten times where it is black
once. You have troubles, it may be.
So have others. None are free from
them. Perhaps it is as well that none
should be. They give sinew and tone
to life-fortitude and courage to man.
That would be dull sea, and the sailor
would never get skill, where there was
nothing to disturb the surface Of the
ocean. 1t is the duty of every one to
extract all the happiness and enjoyment
he can without and within him, and
above all, he should look on the bright
side of things, What though things
do look little dark {? The lane will
turn, and the night will end in broad
day. In the long run, the great balance
rights itself. What is i'll, becomes we'll;
what is wrong, right. Men are not
made to hang down either heads or
lips and those who do, only show that
they are departing from the paths Of
true common sense and right. There
is more virtue in one sunbeam than a
whole hemisphere Of cloud and gloom.
TheI efore, we repeat, look on the bright
side of things. Cultivate what is warm
and genial-not the cold and repulsive,
the dark and morose. The Iron Duke
was right. Don't neglect your duty;
look to the bright side live down preju-
dice.

THE love Of ornament creeps slowly
but surely, into the female heart. A
girl who twines the lily in her tresses,
and looks at herself in the clear stream,
will soon wish that the lily were fadeless,
and the stream mirror. We say let
the young girl seek to adorn her beauty,
if she be taught also to adorn her mind
and heart, that she may have wisdom
to direct her love of ornament in due
moderation.

Let US recollect the admoni,ion Of
famous man, that the humblest persons
are bound to give an account Of their

if kept to their work. They overthrow
and build up dig or empty. There is
a tradition in Barbary that the sea vas

There is something inexpressibly sweet
about little girls. Lovely, pure, ipno-

THE NEw STYLE OF BoNNETs.-We didn't
know that anything like new style" was
ever unpopular with the ladies bat to our
great establishment the Philadelphia North
american ssys that the Spring fashion in bon-
nets is entirely tabooed by the more sensible
of the sex in that city. That paper gives a
description of the rejected head covering as
follows:
'.In shape the new style of bonnet is a cross
between coal scuttle and a buggy top. A
ledge projects over the face presenting an
appearance so ungainly as TO induce a won
der that anybody could adopt it. During all
our peregrinations of the week We didn't en-
counter more than a dozen of these mon
strosiiies, and these, we fancy, were the pro-
perty of outsiders. For her exquisite Taste
in matters OF dress, philadelphia lady nav
be known in any circle that you meet her.
Without adopting the extreme of any fashion.
except its becomingness be beyond a aues-
ton, the ladies oil Philadelphia play second
fiddle to no other part of this hemisphere.
For this reason the buggy top bonnet is voted
a bumbug, aud will not be adopted by our
ladies. The new bonneis that have made
their appearance are in perfect keeping with
the usual discrimination OF our bellies in mat
tiers OF personal attire. Again we say that
the new tangled bonnet attempted to be
forced upon our tashiouables, is unbecoming
and ungraceful."

as well as elsewhere, and such an array

has never before been presented 20 the
public in favor of any other medicine,
patented or not, right at the place where
it started, and enough to satisfy even
the most fastidious and incredulous,
and leave them without the shadow of

LITHONTRIPTIC in the cure
of Calculi, or Stone in the

ness of the Loin, Prolapsus

and in time of Labor the Lithon-
triptic has no equal on record, as can
be proved by many Certificates.
Among those testifying to its efficacy
may be mentioned, in has oUn neigh

the CLERGY, CLERKS OF THE CIRCUIT
AND COUNTY CoURTs, MEMBERS OF

of his own county, FARMERS, MEM

mony sufficient TO leave all persons Ia
