Happy girls! who cannot love them
with cheeks like roses, bright eyes and
elastic step, how cheerf,lly they go to
work. Our reputation for it, such
girls will make excellent wives.
Blessed indeed will those men be who
secure such prizes. Contrast those
who do nothing but sigh all day, and
live to follow the fashions, who never
earn the bread they eat, or the shoes
they wear who are lauguid and lazy
from one weeks end to another. Who
but a simpleton and popinjay would
prefer one of the latter if he were look
ing for a companion? Give us the
working girls they are worth their
weight in gold. You never see them
mincing along, Or Jumping dozen
feet to steer clear of a spider or fly ;
they have no affection or silly airs,
and trying to show off to better ad-
vantage, and you feel as though you
were talking to human being and
not to painted automaton or fallen
angel.


Ifgirls knew how sadly they missed
while endeavoring to show off their
delicate hands, unsoiled skins, and
putting on athousand airs, they would
give worlds for the situation of work.
ing ladies, who are as far above them
in intelligence, in honor, in everything
as the heavens are above the earth.


Be wise then, you who have made
fools of yourselves through lite. Turn
over new leaf and begin, though late,
to live I'D act as human beings, as
companions to mo; S;'..l .:.l man, and not
playthings and dolls. In no other
way can you be happy and subserve
the designs Of your existence.

1he shlftlcSS farmer throws MS l00e
der on the ground to be trodden under
foot, or to be worked into the mud.
The good farmer provides good but
cheap racks, where all is saved.


The careless tarmer--yes, we might
say hard-hearted, or with no heart at
all-allows his cattle and sheep To
feed in the open fields, swept by every
winter tempest or storm Of sleet and
snow. See them hanging under the
lee of some rock, sheltering themselves
from the fury of the blast; or perhaps
on the safer side of haystack we find
whole herd consregating. Look at
the little calves or yearlings driven
away by the older cattle, standing
dreary and deserted on the cherries
snow, with the cold wind cutting them
through and through. Such cases may
not occur very often but they do
occur once in a while, and have come
under our notice. A farmer so neg
lectfal of his best interests is not TT to.
live. t..


But, on the other hand, the good
farmer provides good, clean, comfor-
table shelter, where the animals thrive
and keep fat, and serves large por-
ton Of the feed otherwise required to
keep their animal heat.


The poor farmer lets his calves run
wherever the older cattle drive them,
both in the yard and fields and by
spring they look like superannuated
old dummies. The good farmer gives
his calves the best chance Of all his cat
tie, feeding them with meal and hay.
and keeping them we'll stabbed by
night, and properly sheltered by day;
and in the spring they look fat, sleek,
and clean, and are the admiration OF
his own household and his neighbors.


The bad manager permits his winter
swine to procure their own lodging
where they can best find tin the
corner of the barn-yard, in the manure
heap or under some transient pile of
straw, exposed to rains and snow-drifts.
The good manager provides comfor-
table log-house, and takes especial
pains that they have good dry bedding,
and that everything about them is
kept clean.


Therefore, those who wish to derive
the largest profit from their animals,
and the food they consume, may find
good advice in the following rules,
whether for summer or winter manage
ment.


Good pasture is a prime considera-
tion. 1t affords the best and cheapest
food, and when pure water is always
at hand, little care is required. But
when supplied with other food the
owner must attend to the following
particulars


/. Always furnish warm and well-
ventilated apartments.


2. Observe cleanliness. Curry the
animals daily, and clean out the stalls
twice day.


3. Feed three times a day, with ut,
most regularity. A cows stomach is
a faithful chronometer.


2. Keep the animals constantly in
good condition by a full supply Of
wholesome food and regular attend-,
ance. ..


5. In cold weather, the less they
are turned out and exposed the BETTER


6. Give portion Of roots or meal
in winter with hay, and more if straw
is fed. Increase it toward spring, and
gradually diminish it as grass comes.


Z. Turn cows to pasture gradually
an hour the first day, two hours tho
next, and so on.

THE OPEN FIRE.-"I am a firm
believer" says DR.. Cuyler, Gin the
moral and spiritual influence of an
open fire. To make home attractive
there must be somewhere in the house
a common family rendezvous and that
ought to presenta more radiant at
traction than a black hole in the floor
through which hot air pours from a
subterranean furnace. Men will fight
for their affairs and their firesides but
what orator ever invoked burst Of
patriotism in behalf of steam pipes

thankful that ! was brought up b.
sides the hickory fire ofa rural farm

ROBBERY. Monday last, man, whose
name we failed to learn, came into town and
informed Sheriff Hopping that be had been
robbed of his horse, and four hundred dollars
in cash, some distance this side of Whisky
town. The man stated that he was coming
down from Trinity county. and fell in with a
footman somewhere on the road, and both
travelled along together. They drank con-
siderable liquor on the way, and after they
had passed Whiskytown some distance, the
horseman found himself too much intoxicated
to ride, and in this condition he says he led
his horse up gulch and lay down and went
TO sleep. When he awoke his horse and
travelling companion were gone. and he also
found that his pockets had been rifed of their
contents. He then made his way to town and
laid the matter before the Sheriff. A warrant
was issued for the arrest of the robber, and
Deputies Hoton and Lahnman were dis
patched to overhaul and bring him back. A
man answering his description had been seen
passing through town on horseback, and



At Middletown he ascertained that he was on
the right track. and pushed on to Horsetown,
where he learned that his man had Just
passed through, and was but short distance
ahead. Lahnman kept up his lick, and

Piety Hill, and informed him that he must
consider himself prisoner To this propo.
sition the gentleman emphatically refused

then and there than be brought back to town
under arrest. While parleying about the
matter, the robber made a sudden break for
tie brush, on foot, and succeeded in making
his escape unhurt. although Lahnman fred

SAN Francisco, September 23d, 1867.


A. S. SMITH, ESQ.,, EDITOR MARYsvILLE
APPEAL. Dear Sir: 1t is not my nature.
as you know, to remain silent at time OF
such Importance as the present, and know
OF no other channel through which can
so appropriately speak few words of exhor-
tation and encouragement to Union men as
through the columns of your able and patri
otto journal which did such noble service in
the recent campaign.


L speak of the present as a time of impor
tance, because, high above the discussions of
local affairs in California, | hear the prepa
ratons of the two great parties of the nation
as they marshal their forces for the Presi
Dental election of next year. That contest
century. and is to terminate either in the
triumph of those who preserved the Republic
and who may safely be trusted with its
future de>tinies, or of those who sought its
obstruction. and who lie in wait to repeat the
ad experiment.


The defeat sustained by the loyal cause in
this State un the fourth instant must not be
allowed to paralyze the hopes of Union men.
nor to aba,e their zeal or energy in the fu.
ture. What single reverse of our arms
during the civil war would have justified an
abandonment of the struggle? | believe
that our la disaster would not have occurred
but for the seeming certainty during the last
two or three weeks Of the canvass. Our ad-
versaries we're as much surprised at the re
suit as were the members of our own party.
Had all who really desired our success labor.
ed for it as though defeat was sure to be the
penalty of neglect, should not in my
opinion, be remanded to political bondage
under our old Democratic task masters for
the next four years The lesson will not lie
lost upon the careless and Indifferent.


In less than month another State cleo
ton is to be held in California for the choos-
ing of a Justice of the Supreme Court and
Superintendent of Public Instruction Men
of undoubted loyalty and acknowledged fit
ness for these positions in which they have
been tried and found most faithfully have been
placed in nomination by the regular conven
tion of the loyal party. At this election we
may, by generous and hearty action revive
the confidence of our Eastern brethren in
Calfornia's loyalty; we may renew the
courage of the loyalsts of Nevada and Ore.
gon we may render more certain the elec-
toral votes of the Pacific States for the
patriotic candidate for the Presidency next
year, and by so doing save the cause of Lib
erty itself. 1t is because so much is at stake
that have addressed You this letter for pub
LEGATION, in order that | might appeal, as
now do, to all with whom my words and ex-
ample may be supposed to have any intlu
ence whatever, that they spare no efforts in
behalf Of the nominees of our party in Octo-
Der. Let us all remember that the support
of our principles must, in the nature Of
things, be measured by the support we yield
tn the men selected by our party to contend
with the enemies of our principles for the
civil control of the State.
