Transcript speaks thus sensibly and earnestly
! We may be allowed to state, that several in
stances bave come to our knowledge OF the mar
rage, in this vicinity of little girls OF twelve
and thirteen years of age to grown men one, ut

rational idea be entertained by the husband, or
by the parents of the nature OF the life thus
imposed upon II child scarcely OF the age of con

edge OF the world sufficient to enable 10 to form
any conception of the nature Of the obligations
and duties it assumes with n body so immature
that many summers are needed to develop IL into
the likeness of a woman Is hurried into a condi-

conceive of any love, in its holiest sense, on one
side, or chlvalrous respect, on the other In the
fiery climes of the tropics, where ripeness and
rottenness are early, girls OF thirteen are often
as fully developed as in our colder climate they
are at eighteen. But here they are childish
weddings, needing mothers constant care, and
as unsophisticated as infants. Their bodies are
unripe as their minds. Nature Is outraged by

design to speak plainly upon this subject, for we
deem IL crime against natural laws, and need

public opinion. For Gods sake, IL any more
such sacrifices are In contemplation, let them not
be contaminated One such example, unrebuked,
Is worse than thousand instances Of ordinary

FIvE-DoLLAR LIQUOR LAw.-We notice that
our Assemblyman Hon. Fred Walter, has intro
duced an Act to annu the law providing that no
debt, amounting to over five dollars, shall be
collected due for liquor sold by the glass. 1t
will be remembered that Hon. Ed. Neblett, of
Trinity county, was the author of this law, and
succeeded in getting 1t passed during his term in
the Legislature of 1858 This gentlemen urged,
among other reasons for its passage that 1t would
protect the poor, honest and industrious women
of California, whose dissipated husbands were in
the habit of squandering at the bar the hard
earnings Of their wives. He cited several instan-
ces, where idle sots had run up bar accounts to
large amounts, were sued, and attachments issued
upon the little all of their wives--in many in
stances earned over the wash-tuh Ahstractly, a
debt due for hel's nectar is as honorable as any
other obligation no honorable man will refuse
to square such an account, and we are of the
opinion that the man who wond plead the " five
dollar Act would If there was no legal shield,
find some other means of avoiding payment. We
have always believed this law was really bene
fit to keepers of saloons. as it furnished them
ready excuse for not crediting, to any extent
doubtful customer. As to the practical benefits
or evils resulting from this law, we leave our
readers to judge.
Mr.. Walter also gave notice of the introduc-
tion of bill to amend an Act defining the time
of commencing actions on back accounts.

Over the Way.

Gone in her childish purity,
Out from the golden day
Fading away in the light so sweet,
Where the silver stars and the sunheams meet,
Paving the path for her silent feet,
over the silent way.
Over her bosom tenderly
The pearl white hands are prcSt
The lashes lie ON her checks SO thin
Where the softest blush OF the rose has been,
Shutting the blue Of her eyes within
The pure lids closed in rest.
Over the sweet brow lovingly
Twneth her sunny hair
She was so fragile that Love sent down
From his heavenly gems, that soft bright crown,
To shade her brow with its waves 50 brown,
Light as the dimpling air.
Gone to sleep. with the tender smile,
Frozc on her tender lips
By the farewell kiss of her dcwy breath,
Cold in the clasp of the angel Death
Like the last fair bud of fading wreath
Whose bloom the white frost nips.
Robin-hushed in your downy bed
Over the swinging bough-
no You miss her voice from your glad duet
when the dew in the heart of the rose is set,
Till its velvet lips with the essence wet
In orient crimson glow
Roscbud-under your shady leaf
Hid from the sunny day
no YOU miss the glance of the eyes so bright,
Whose blue was Heaven In your timid sightY
1t is beaming now in the world Of light
over the starry way.
Hearts--where the darng's head hath lain,
Held by loves shining ray
Do YOU know that the touch of her gentle hand
Doth brighten the harp in the unknown landY
Oh she waits for US with the angel band
Over the starry way.

SUBLIME IDEA.-Tbe closing passage in one of
Prof Mitchel's late lectures in New York on
Astronomy, after speaking of the unfathomable
distances which no telescope can penetrate, lying
far beyond the system on which the earth re-
wolves, and yet filed with Independent systems
of worlds of infinite numbers, is as follows:
Light traverses space at the rate of n million
miles minute, yet the light from the nearest
star requires ten years to reach the earth, and
IIersches telescope revealed stars 23OO times
further distant. The great telescope of Lord
Rosse pursued the creations of God still deeper
into spacp having resolved the ncbule of the
Milky Way into stars-beautiiul diamond points
glittering through the black darkness beyond
When he beheld this amazing ahyss-when he
reflected upon the immense distance, enormous
magnitude, and the countless millions Of worlds
that belonged to them, it seemed to him as though
the wild dream of the German poet had been
more than realized
"God called man in his dream into the vesti-
bue of Heaven, saying, Come hither, aud will
show thee the glory of my house! And to his
angels who stood around his throne, he said,
Take him, strip him of his affections, put q new
breath into his nostrils, but touch not his human
heart--the heart that fears and hopes and trou-
bles.' A moment and it was done, the man stood
ready for his unknown voyage. Under the gui-
dance of mighty angel with sounds of flying
pinions, they sped away from the battlemenIs of
Heaven. Some time on the mighty angels wings
they fled through Sabaras of darkness, wilder
nesses of death. At length from distance not
counted save in the arithmetic of Heaven. a light
bcamed upon them--a sleepy flame, as seen thro'
u haZy cloud. In u moment the blazing of the
suns around a moment the wheelngs of planets;
then came long eternities of twilight. then again
on the right hand and the left appeared more
consultations. Al last the man sank down, cry
ing, Angel, | can go no further; let me lie down
Of the universe, for end there is none! End
there is none 7 responded the angel. And from
the glitering stars that shone around there came
a choral shout, End there is none = End there
is none =

GENERAL CAss.--The Detroit Free Press says
that General Cass is reported to have wept dur
ing a Cabinet meeting at which the impending
dangers of the Union were under consideration.
None will doubt the sincerity of his grief, or
wonder that he, one of the few remaining links
between the generation OF men that made the
Union and the generation who are likely to wit
ness its disruption should be affected to tears
over the impending calamity.
