The last words of the Emigrant's Child, as ut
tered on the hanks of the San Joaquin, near Fort
Miller, California, are thus conveyed to the ear of
the world through the medium of song. The cir-
Cuinstances which gore rise to the verses are pe
culiarly touching. Owing to the winter rains, to
such height had the river risen that they could
not he forded, and the roads had become impassi
ble. A family of emigrants arrived on the banks
of the San Joaquin, in the last stage of exhaus
tion. Starvation stared them in the face. The
mother had been buried on tho plains, end on the
arrival of the family at the San Joaquin, an infant
and its sister, six years of age, comprisinEnll the
children, died also, leaving the disconsolate father
to prosecute his further journey to the gold mines
♦LONE.
The Emigrant's Dying Child.
Father! I'm hungered ! give me bread t'
Wrap close my shivering form !
Cold blown the wind around my head,
And wildly beats the storm.
Protect me from this angry sky ;
I shrink beneath its wrath,
And, dread this torrent rushing by,
Which intercepts our path.
Futter! these California skies,
You said, were bright and blend—
But where, to-night, my pillow lies,
—ls this the golden land
'Tis well my little sister sleeps,
Or else she too would grieve;
—But only see how still she keeps--
She has not stirred since one.
I'll kiss her, and perhaps shell speak
She'll kiss me hack, I know;
Oh! father, only touch her cheek,
'Tis cold as very snow,
Father! you do not shed a tear,
Yet little Jane has died ;
Oh ! promise, when von leave we here,
To lay me by her side.
And when you pass this torrent cold,
We've come so far to see,
And you go on, beyond, for gold,
0 think of Jane end me.
Father ! I'm weary ! rest my head
Upon thy bosom warm—
Cold blows the wind around my head
And wildly beats the storm.
IT IS NOT ALWAYS MAY
DT HENRY W. LONGFELLOV,
The sun is hright, the air is clear,
The darting swallows soar and sing,
And from the stately elms I hear
The blue-bird proVheiying Spring.
So blue yon winding river flows,
It seems an outlet from the sky,
Where waiting till the west wind blows,
The freighted clouds at anchor lie.
All things are new—the buds, the leaves,
That gild the elm trees' nodding crest,
And even the birds beneath the eaves—
There are no birds in last year's nest !
And things rejoice in youth and love,
The fulness of their first delight !
And learn front the soft heavens above,
The melting tenderness of night.
Maiden that read'st this simple rhyme,
Enjoy the youth, it titi•ill not stay;
Enjoy the fragrance of tlay primer,
For 0, it is not always Miiy.
Enjoy the Spring of Love and Youth,
To some good atigel leave the rest,
FOriime will teach thee soon the truth,
There ore no birds in lnst year's nest!

Stitticellantotto,
A Heroine at the Australian Gold
Diggings•
A late number of The Dublin Commer
cial Journal publishes a letter of quite ro
mantic character, lately received by a lady
of Dublin from a young female friend and
former school-fellow of hers, now at the
Australian diggings. It appears from her
narrative, that she and her brother were
suddenly left orphans with £3OO for their
necessities, and all the fancies and niceties
which life, in prosperous circumstances, is
i wont to include. She says
“Ile had passed through college with
credit, and could write poetry and ride up
to the hounds as well as any huntsman who
ever hunted the Golden Vale, while I, on
my part, could play polka, sing ballads,
speak French and a little German, was a
capital horse-woman, ;only I wanted a
horse,) and once in my life had composed
a waltz, an 3 written sixteen chapters of a
novel, which broke down from not knowing
how to get my heroine out of a terrible
scrape. But alas ! my dear friend, all these
things might have done well enough, 'once
upon a time,' but the real battle of life was
now to be fought, by two utterly inexperi
etced raw recruits, and the question was
how our time and means were to be profit
ably, rather than pleasantly, spent. For
tunately, we were both young, strong, ac
tive, and hearty, and never did any Sebas
tian and Viola of them all, love each other
with a stronger and more enduring affection,
than did Frank and I— sole remnants, as
we were, of so much pl•osperity and so lit
tle prudonce.”
After a nervous consultation, over the
£3OO, they determined to emigrate to Aus
tralia. On reaching Melbourne, they found
that they could not encounter worse incon
veniences at the diggings, and there they
now are, under singular interesting circum
stances. The young lady says :
"I was resolved to accompany my broth
er and his friends to the diggings, and I
felt that to do so in my own proper cos
tnme.aad character would be to run unne
cessary hazard. Hence my change. I
cut my hair into a_ very masculine fashion;
.I purchased a broad felt- hat, a sort of tu
nic or smock of coarse blue cloth, trousers
to conform, boots of a miner, and thus part
ing with any sex for a season, (I hoped a
better one,) behold me an accomplished
candidate for sniping operations; and all the
perils and inconveniences they might be
supposed to bring. All this transmutation
took place with Frank and Mr. M
sanction; indeed it was he who first sug
gested the change, which I grasped and
improved on. I could not bear to be sep
arated from Frank, and we all felt that I
should be safer in my male attire than if I
exposed myself to the dangers of the route
and residence in any proper guise. We
have now been nine weeks absent from Mel
bourne, and have tried three localities, at
the latter of which we have been most for
tunate, and our tent is pitched on the side
of as pretty a valley as you could wish to
visit. I have for myself a sort of supple
mentary canvas chamber, in which I sleep,
cook, wash clothes--that is, my own and
Frank's —sod keep watch and ward over
our heap of gold dust and 'nuggets,' the
sight and touch of which inspirit me wh,eni
I grow dull, which I seldom do, for I have
constant 'droppers in,' and to own the truth,
oven in my palmiest days, never was treat
ed with greater courtesy or respect.
"Of course, my sex is generally known.
I am Galled 'Mr. Harry,' t an abbreviation
of Harriet;) but no one intrudes the more
on that account. In fact I have become a
sort of 'necessity,' as I am always ready to
do a good turn—the great secret, after all,
of social success; and I never refuse to
oblige a 'neighbor,' be the trouble what it
may. The consequences are very pleasant.
Many a 'nugget' is thrust on me whether
t will or 1)43, in return for cooking a pud
ding or darning a shirt; and if all the cooks
and seamstresses in the world were. as
splendidly paid as I am, the 'Song of the
Shirt' would never have been written; at .
011 Ovaiiti; My own hoard amounts now to
about : 10 lbs, of gold; and if I go on accu
mulating; cyei),thc richest heiress in my
family in former days will be left immeas
urably behind. Sometimes, when I have
a few idle hours; I accompany Frank and .
his comrades to the diggings, and it is a
rare thing to watch the uiridity with which
every 'buelret' is raised, washed, examined
and commented upon. Wild th s e life is,
certainly, but full of excitement and hope•
and strange as it is, I almost fear to tell
you that Ido not wish it tdend! You can
hardly conceive what a merry company
gather together iu our tent every evening,
or how pleasantly the hours pass."

HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1853.
Thorarsdii Said Double Bass Viol.
Many years ago there was in the eastern
part of Massachusetts, a worthy old D. D.,
and although he was an eminently benevo
lent man, and a good Christian, yet it must
be confessed that he loved a joke tituch bet
ter than even the most inveterate jokers.
It was before church organs were much
in use, it so happened that the choir of the
church had recently purchased a double
bass viol. Not far from the church was a
large pasture, and in it a huge bull. One
hot Sabbath in the summer he got out of
the pasture and came bellowing up the
area. About the, church there was plen
ty of untrodden grass, green and good, and
Mr. Bull stopped to try the quality, per
chance to ascertain if its location had im
proved its flavor, at any rate the reverend
doctor was in the midst of his sermon,
when
,
“800-woo-woo " went the bull.
The doctor paused, looked up at the
singing seats, and with a grave face, said :
would thank the musicians not to tune
their instruments during service time, it
annoys me very much."
The people stared, and the minister went
on.
"800-woo-woo," went the bull again, as
he passed another green spot.
The parson paused again, and addressed
the choir :
"I really wish the singers would not tune
their instruments while I am preaching, as
I remarked before, for it annoys me very
much."
The people .tittered, for they knew as
well as any one what the real state of the
case was. The minister went on again with
his discourse, but he had not proceeded far
before another "800-woo-woo," came from
Mr. Bull.
The parson paused once more, and again
exclaimed :
"1 have twice already requested the mu
sicians in the gallery not to tune their in
struments. during sermon time. I now
particularly request Mr. Lafeor that ho
will not tune his nouble bass viol while I
am preaching."
This was too much. Lafeor got up too
much agitated at the thought of speaking
out in church, and stammered out :
"It isn't me, parson B—, it's tha-that
d—d town bull.
Negro Banking.
• Cato (an old negro who was noted for
his cunning) had succeeded in making his
fellow servamts in the neighborhood believe
that banking was a very profitable business.
So they concluded that they would throw
all their change together and start a bank,
old Cato taking oarc to have himself con
stituted the hack to, whom all Ote,Sixpen,
ces of all the darkies in the neighborhood
were duly paid over. And now, said Cato,
whenebah nigah borrow sixpence out ob dis
bank to bu;backah, he got to come back
in free weeks and pay in two sixpence, and
indis way you see ebry sixpence, bring
nudah sixpence, till arter while all dose
nigah be rich as old massa Gordon. And
upon this principle the bank went into op
eration, old Cato always taking care that
every darkey should fork over according to
bank rules. But, in the course of time,
some of .the stockholders thoUglit. they
4anielt a fit;" acid called on' Cato to with
draw their capital front the bank, when the
following conversation took place between
Cato and Jack :
Jack—Well, Cato, we want draw our
money from de bank, and and quit dis
banking bisness.
Cato—Did you heals do news ?
Jack—No, what dat, Cato 1.
Cato—Why; do bank done broke las
night. . _ _
Jack—Who care what de bank do? I
tell you, I want nw shah ob de money.
Cato—Well, but I tell you de hank

Jack—l not talkon bout dat. I say,

(lato—Why, you fool, don't you know
dat when de bank break, de money, all

Cato—Well, but, whah de money gone
to?
Cato—pat's more en dis nigah know.—
All he knew bout it; is dat when white
folks' bank break de money always lost,
an nigah bank no better dun white folks.
Jack—Well; whenebah di's nigah gage

Cato—Berry sorry de bank break, Jack,

Public or Common Schools.
The Baltimore Clipper has an article
that takes the right view of this subject
now being brought to the consideration of I
all. That great legal writer and philoso
pher, Montesque, considers virtue and in
telligence as indispensable to the success
of republican government; and the correct
ness of his judgment will not be called in
question by any one who has given clue
consideration to the subject— for, where
the people exercise the power of. appoint
ing rulers, they must possess the
intelli
gence necessary, to the judicious exercise
of that right, and the virtue to withdraw
their patronage from those who may prove
Ito be unworthy. Republicanism is based
upon, and can only be sustained by intel
ligence. Hence It follows, that the culti
vation of the minds of youth is an indis
pensable duty under our system of „gov
ernment. There should be not only a
general diffusion of intelligence, but a
community of feeling and of interest, with
those who are to sway the future destinies
of this country. And how can these desi
rable results be better produced than by
the adoption of a public school system,
which brings the young of all classes and
of all religious denominations into daily
social intercourse'? By this associa
tion all distinction but that of merit, is
destroyed; and the son or daughter of the
poorest man may outrank the offspring of
the millionaire. This is the great beauty
and boast of our system of government,
the theory of which is that talents, virtue
and diligence shall always be rewarded.
By associating in public schools, sects-,,
rian feeling is destroyed to a great extent,
and pupils are induced to look upon each'
other with kindness, whatever may be the
varienee in their religion. Indeed reli
gious distinctions are unknown in the pub
lic schools, for although portions of the
Bible may be daily read, no effort is made
to inculcate sectarian principles. The ob
ject of the public schools is not to prescribe
religious faith, but to give to pupils useful
educations—and these they can obtain,
even to the highest classical attainments.
We look upon them as one of the greatest
blessings of the country, for they open the
door of instruction so wide, that the poor
est child may enter and be benefited.—
They offer to every one an education that
will enable him to take a respectable stand
in society, and to work himself tip to dis.:
tinetion by application sad perseverance.
To destroy these institutions, or to impair
their usefulnes, would be to inflict a public
calamity upon the country.
He who has.a good education has an
independence, if he choose to employ his
•
time properly. The educated man will

Mind was given to man to be improved and
employed; and the first duty of society is,
to erect such instit•itions as will enable all
minds to be properly developed. The man
who enjoys the right of,. suffrage should
know the value of that right, So that he
may exercise it with discretion. Less in
formation would suffice, where rulers claim
station by the Grace of God, and where
the only duty of the masses is to obey—to
place their minds and bodies entirely in the
guidance of others. But, an, our etraptry,
every man should feel himself free, and
resolve to retain his freedom—thinking I
and acting for himself upon all subjects—
for he who is to be responsible both here
and hereafter, should act in acAordance
with the dictates of his own judgment; re
fusing all assumptions to think or to act
for him.

says : , _ _
- "We found ourselves standing. before

preserved remnants of the cradle in• which
Mary once rocked the infant Christ. In
an immense case, sort of gold and glass,
are kept these wonderful relictwo or
three pieces of old wood, worm-paten, and
partly decayed. There is nothing in their,
form to indicate that they were ever parts
of anything like a cradle, and so altogether
rough and clumsy are they, that I fund
more natural than irreverent the remark
of a jocose Englishman, who stood near
us—
"Well, all I have to say is, St. Joseph
seems to have imen but a bad carrentor."
Yet saw, women clasp their hands and
burst into : tears, at the sight of these form

The man who attempts to rise in the werld
by pulling his neigbor down, is unfit to be

him where he is, unless they w:sh to make
a heartless tyrant. The woman who can go
from house to house, and as she opens her
budget of evil reports, begs you not to
mention them on any account, it would so
grieve her that it should get abroad, and
the poor creature would be injured, and re
peats the same wherever she goes, is not
only a very suspicious charcter, but she
proclaims herself a very vixen.—Rev.

night as earth ne'er saw before. Murky
clouds veiled the fair face of heaven, and
gave to pitchy darkness a still deeper dye.
The moon had fled. The stars had cloSed
their eyes, for deeds were doing which they
dared not look upon. For a time the pure
streams became stagnant and ceased to flow.
The mountains trembled. The forest drop
ped its leavens. The flowers . lost their fra
grance, and withered. All suture became
desolate. In glee serpents hissed, harpies
screamed, and satyrs revelled beneath the

abode of man. The lion relinquiFbed his
half-eaten prey. The tiger forgetful of hia

the hyena !Tritiated his repast of dead men's
bones. Man alone, of all earth's creatures,
slept, but still he slept as if the boding of
sonic half-unknown calamity sat brooding
o'er his mind. Aspiring youths would mut

Young, fair and gifted maidens would
start, and trembling, weep their injured
innocence. Mothers, too,would hal f awake,
and press their trembling nurselings to their
breasts, and breathe to heaven another
prayer for their protection. On such a
night, hell yawned, and gave to earth a

Indian Eloquence.
The Toronto Watchman of the 30th ult.,
contains an earnest appeal from the Indi
ans of Rich Lake to the whites, begging
them to stay the pleague of intemperance,
which had been commuuicatod by thern to
the children of the forest, Some,passages
in the appeal are exceedingly eloquent and
touching. It says :
The five villages, Ainwick, Bicelake,
Mudlake, Scommg, and Credit, are all that'
is left of the Mississagon Indian. Save us!
Our white brethren, save us!
Long ago you came to us fot a place to

ask you for deliverance from an enemy we
ourselves cannot overcome; like everything
else of the white man, it is too strong ; for

Action of Lime.
As to the question, of how lime acts?--
there are some diversity of opinion—bnt
there seems to be a concurrence of senti
ment among scientific men, as to certain
offices which it performs,—and these are
borne (rat ley the observations of practical
fanners; Among the offices said to be
performed by lime and marl, are these :
Whet , applied in full quantity upon stiff
clays, it serves to disintegrate the parti
cles of clay and lightens .the texture of the
soil; while on sands, it tends to give tena
city to them. It dissolves hard inert fi
brous substances in the soil, and prepares
them to become the food of plants. It
neutralizes the acids of the soil, unites
with them, and ultimately deals them out
as the food of plants, thus rendering noxi
ous bodies tributary to their healthful
growth. Lime is found by analysis to
form a part of the vegetable structure of
most plants, and hence the inference is,
that it is indispensable to their healthful
growth. Lime, too, is said to posse:7s the
power of electricity; if such be the case, it
must act as a stimulus, and like other
stimulants, if not used to excess, may ex
ert a highly friendly influence upon the
constitution of plants. •These are but a
few of the properties hsr!gned to lime, and
ex'crienee teaches al: sensible agricultu
rists, that whenever judiciously applied to
lands needing it, it has broduced the mat,
meliorating effects: that lands, chiefly
throughlts means, aided by grass and clo
ver culture, which were worn out, have
been brought to a state of fertility;--sce.
ing these things, it is no longer a matter
of surprise that liming, and. mailing;.shich
is virtuallp the same thing, has become the
'fashion,' and gives tone to public and pH
vote sentiment, no one can longer doubti
that, in a few years more, moat of the old
fields, which now so grate upon the feel
ings of the patriot, will be covered with
luxuriant crops. But we wish our agri
cultural readers to bear these truths in
mind,—that without one-fourth or one.
fifth of the arable land be kept in clover
and grass, no progressive or permanent
improvement can be effected,—that though
exhausted lands require lime, yet they re
quire animal and vegetable manures also,
—that no system of culture can be either
'intelligent or profitable, that does not
combine the culture of clover and the
grasses in its elements,— that it is useless
to lime or marl wet lands bUfore they are
drained, and that, when drained, deep and
exact ploughing, and thorough pulveriza
tion, are indispensable to full and perfect
success.—.9m. Far.
Portable spittoons.
Some of our exchanges recommend s
portable spittoon in the form of a walking
q4►►e with a silver or gold screw cap, as a
desirable invention for those gentlemen
who chew tobacco in churches, concert
rooms, parlors, and such places. We
think the suggestion a good one. The
appearance that our churches frequently
present, from the indulgence of this adah...
dalous practice, is loathsome to behold,
and cannot be spoken of in language too
strong to depict its filthy tendencies.—
Why is it that men will continue to in
dulge in a dirty practice, that they know
and feel to be injurious to their health and
in direct opposition to all'hitts of
.cleanli
ness, and by men, too, who have sUfficient
strength of mind to abstain front any evil
habit to which they are addicted, is indeed
beyond our ken. We do hope, for the
sake of decency, that such as will contin
ue to be filthy, wi:l at once provide them
selves with the portable spitt um above men
tioned, when the.uuisance co,oplained of will
be measurably abated.— nit. Gaz,
