ness He says; Let no more unpro
tected females be exposed TO the peril
Of these shores
People have wondered at the sens,
Of this Massachusetts, abolition philan
thropy for some time. 1t is much hk'
the olden style Of dealing in the hand
some girls of Cauessia, when hundreds
Of their school marms" were huddleG
together and shipped off TO parts un.
known for the pleasure of "Harem'
scarem Turks. We suppose the mode
Of disposing Of these Yankee girls on
their arrival 10 the Pacific coast Is
something ike this:
The ship has arrived in port Notice
has been sent to the long haired miners
and rough bachelors of that auriferous
section. The girls have been bathed
by squads, platoons and brigades in the
mouth Of some waterfall" from the
mountains; their best raiment has
been put on. Standing ON the poop
deck, the charge 4 affairs, with hair push
ed back from his receding forehead,
and sharp aasal twang, thus holds
forth:
"NeoW yeou wild beasts Of this ere
Pacific strand, I've brought you whole
passel of genuine ladies, right nice and
fresh from B0sting and along the shore
have picked lot Of gals, fresh as a
daisy and lively as butterfly! IWon't
sell the entire lot 20 one man, for that
would be too much of a good thing,
but III sell each of you little charm

'The next gal, ladies and gentleman,

Philla Malura She is a choice gal,

"The next animile-oh, sweetheart
fellers, is blue-eyed Yankee gal,
named Jerusha Jane-never mind her
other name. She is Dustin gal.

ton like a tea kettle, which is good at

"Now, fellers, stand up close. Here
is a sumner. Tabithia Marier, SIS was
her mother before her, also her grand
mother. She is nineteen years old,

means to pay her war tax Come up |
and feel Of this lot She never scolds |
except in anger, and Ike George Wash
lngton, never chopped tree with her
little hatchet. She is warranted genu- |
