The Stranger Within the Gate.

This unfortunate is easy recognizable in
New York, by its frantic bewilderment in at
tempting to cross Broadway now standing
still, now leaping forward, now running back,
in that agony of indecision, which is the best
and surest recipe for a broken neck Also by
walking with its mates, three abreast, in that
crowded thoroughfare, as if room were as
plenty there as in its native Frogtown. An
other sure sign Of its origin is in its continuous
and demonstrative waving of handkerchief,
umbrella, parasol, basket, or any other wea-
pom handy, at desired omnibus driver, who
of course knows q native at once by the quiet
uplifted forefnger Once inside the omnibus,
the stranger may be known by ferreting very
anxiously in all his pockets for FIVE dollar
bill, instead of handing up the ready sixpence
with which the native avoids eternal selfre-
proach and the maledictions of hurried fellow
passengers. Also the stranger may be known
by his extreme and stunning toggery at places
of public amusement, where fashion chooses to
sit in quiet raiment.
If the stranger is Bostonian, he may at
once be recognized by wearing-without re,
gard to his professon-a sepuchral suit of
solemn black, with Immediately polished
boots and BOSOM and stand asideI am holer-
than-thou air, intended to crush the sons of
Belial who behold it. Let it not be supposed,
however, by the unintiated, that this, by any
means, precludes him from joining any gay or
festive scene which New York holds out as a
reward of merit, to any inflated Pharisee, for
prolonged and painful spell of good behavior.
The stranger within the gate is sometimes
the angel unawares in which case she may be
seen innocently and promiscuously distributing
pennies here and there, among bogus objects
of charity" and feeling good as she takes a
last pitiful look at the painted ulcer on Limb
as sound as her own. Or, she may be seen
verdantly buying one of those huge cabbage
boquets, in alternate mutton chap streaks OF
white and red, got up for the delectation of
strangers, and pensively applying it to her
gratifed nose, when her head is not spinning
tee-totum after some new freak of fashion, as
displayed in new arrangement of passing
feather, ribbon or bow.
AS if the equilibrium of a New Yorker
could be disturbed by such trifes No Om-
nbus horses may rise and fall like the waves
of the sea. Extra boys may sell themselves
black in the face. Regiments in all the hues
of the reign-beau, may come and go; but un.
less somebody knocks the well beloved cigar
from his jaded lip, Satan may claim his own,
for aught he would move muscle Fanny

A DOG SToRY.-The Sonora Democrat is
responsible for the following story: "a man
from one of the Western States brought to

A few months after his arrival being compel
led to return on business, and intending to 90
by water, he gave the dog TO friend, and
went to San Francisco to take passage for
New York. In few days after his departure
the animal was missing and it is said the
poor brute actually crossed the Plains alone,
and reached his old home within a week of bis
masters arrival, much jaded and reduced in
flesh by bis long journey.

The Sierra Democrat says: " H. l. Thorn
ton has been heard from, as we learn from a
friend of his in this place. lie was at Mauas-
sas. The hope has been very commonly ex-
pressed here, and by men who supported him
some years ago, that he may speedily meet the
doom of traitor. He claimed, before going
East, to be good Union man--better than
the Union Democrats or Republicans. The
men who indorsed his speeches in the Senate
claimed for him and themselves devoted pa
triotism. He is now fighting with the rebels
against the Government. Many of his coadju-
tors are also doing so. The indorsers here of
his reasonable speeches ought to be with him
now. The night of despair is lowering over
Secessia, and it has need of all its friends. 1t
is a shame, that the rebel sympathizers remain
to enjoy the blessings of Government they
glory TO see menaced by foreign jealousy and
treason at home

"No Room for Loafers. !"

These words recently met our eyes as we
passed workshop in this city. No room
for loafers" Sure enough, there is no room
for loafers anywhere in this working world.
They are not wanted in the busy workshop,
nor in the editors sanctum they are q nui-
sance in the country store, splitting and spew
ing about the stove, and at the postoice are
in everybodys way. They are forever out of
place-except when in the almshouse or Jail.
A dead weight upon society, they are him
drance and bore. They form no part of ma
tures PLAN it abhors them, as it does va
cuum. While all the world around them is
going forward, they are standing still, or rather
gliding imperceptibly backward into seedy
vagabondism. A loafer soon grows rusty. 1t
is only use which keeps our faculties bright,
and the idle man gets dull, stupid, stolid and
muddy headed.
Yet some Of these fellows seem to think very
well of themselves You will see them strut
ting along the sunny side of the street and
lounging at corners, hanging about the doors
Of the hotels, or the entrance to the theater,
with fine clothes upon their backs, and we'll
satisfied smirk upon their vacant countenances.
The poor creatures look down upon a working
man as a being of an inferior order No
doubt the drones affect to despise the busy
bees-until they are driven from the hive to
starve, while the workers feast upon the honey.
A loafer setting himself above the man who
labors with his hands Why, be is as far be-
meath him as, in the order of creation, the sloth
is beneath the common horse. A young me-
chanic, in his working dress, and with his tools
in his hands, is every way more agreeable
object than the best dressed loafer in existence.
There is always room for him. He is never
out of place, for be is keeping step with the
movement of the universe He has an aim,
purpose, and he stands for something. His
faculties are trained to use, and be is of value
to the world for what he can do. The skilled
workman is to the idle man what the manulac-
tured article is to the raw material. He has
an additional value above that of mere man.
hood. The world cannot get on without him,
while it could spare every loafer in it, and be
all the better for their absence. Reader, what
ever you do, don't loaf.

CoTToN IN NAPA VALLEY.-We have at our
Office, says the Napa Reporter, some samples
of cotton raised by VIM. Baldridge, Esq, at
his ranch in Napa Valley. A small number
of plants only were cultivated by way of ex-
pertinent Some of the bols were injured by
the frost, but several were we'll filled, and ex-
hibifed goody growth of short staple. In
our opinion cotton can as well be raised in this
latitude as 10 North Carolina, as the liability
to injury from frost is no greater here than
there.
