aimed to do justice without asperity; to

of the future more strongly' than the irri

Why are springs enthroned so high,
Where the mountains kiss the sky?
'Tis that thence their streams may flow,
Fertilizing all below.
Why have clouds such lofty flight,
Basking in the golden light?
'Tis to bend down genial showers
On this lower world ofours.
Why does God exalt the great?
Tis that they may prop the state:
So that toil its sweets may yield,
And the sower reap the field.
Riches why doth He confer?
That the rich may minister,
In the hour of their distress.
To the poor and fatherless.
Does He light a Newton's mind?
''Tis to shine on all mankind.
Does He give to virtue birth?
Tis the salt of this poor earth.
Reader, whosoe'er thou art,
What thy God hath given, impart;
Hide it not within the ground: j
Send the cup of blessing round.
Hast thou power? the weak defend:
Light? give light; thy knowledge lend:
Rich? remember Him who gave:
Free? be brother to the slave.
Called a blessing to inherit,
Bless, and richer blessings merit;
Give, and more shall yet be given;
Love, and serve and look for heaven!
From the N.Y. Spirit of the Times.

An Adventurer in California Capt. Extraordinary Escape. We received a
Suler. Captain Wilkes, irt his Narrative letter from Harrisburg, in Hardin county,
of the Oregon Expedition, describes a visit from which we make the following ex

Charles X. Soon after the revolution of
July, he came to the United States, and re
sided in Missouri. He then removed to
California; and obtained from the govern
ment a conditional grant of thirty leagues
square, bounded by the Sacramento x river
on the west. He erected his dwelling and
fortification on a place which he calls New
Helvetia, fifty miles from lie mouthnof the
Sjcramento, and the head of the navigation
during the drv season. A you g gentle
man from Newport named Giger, was
connected with his establishment. 'When
Capt. S. first settled at this place, in 1839,
he was surrounded by hostile tribes ot In
dians But, by his energy and manage
ment, and the aid of a small party of trap
pers, he contrived to control them, and
even to win many to his aid. He neirt tne
appointment of administrator, and exerci
sed supreme power in his own district.
His building consisted of extensive corrals
and dwelling-houses. He paid ior la
bor in goods; and his ttock at the time
amounted to 1,000 horses, 2r500 cattle, and
1,000 sheep. He had forty Indians at

Just as we expected. -We learn from
verbal but good authority, that the Yan-
Kees are constructing, wmim a icw uuuib
ride of Boston, a number of large, wide,
fiat bottomed vessels, drawing from four to
six feet water, and intended especially to
run in and out over the bars along the 'I ex
ian coast. From the talk of the "Down

Ladies Cowhiding each other. -The
heat of the weather produces strange events.
The N. 0. Picayune of the 1 5th reports
quite an excitement in Canal street yes
terday growing I out of the circumstance
of one married lady being cowhide I by an
other. It seems the parties had had some
dispute, and that the one who inflicted the '
stripes had heard of something deroga tory
to her fame having been: saiit by the
other. The two were in Canal street,
when the aggrieved lady stepped into a
store, bought a cowhide, walked to an op
posite store where she found her enemy,
and forthwith fell to chastising her, using
her weapon most! vigorously. The gentle
man in whose store the scene occurred step
ped between the; parlies to make peace9
and, as is reported received sundry lashes
about" his shoulders for his gallantry, be
fore he succeeded in separating them. The
lady who was attacked finally took refuge ,
in. the back part of the, store, and . after a
short time the other walked cooly off.'
