~~ [From the St. Louis Reville.) Mrs. Scruggins on California. BY NED, " It's nothin' but Californy, Crilafor- ny, from mornin' to night," said Mrs Scruggins, the other day, to a young friend who had expressed his determi- nation to go to California. "Mr. Smith is going to Californy, Mr. Jones is go- in' to Californy, Mr. Brown is goin' to Californy,—Everybody is goin' to Cali- forny, 'cept sensible people, and they stay at home. Mr. Skinkle had the fever last winter, and the way lie took on ! I told him to go if he wanted to go! to leave his friends and the comforts of life, and launch himself out in the par- rams. amongst the Savagacious ober'. ginists of the woods, and git himsell killed and cat up for his trouble. I don't care. I told lihn if he liked to eat mules better than beef cattle, if he liked old dried meat better than fresh : if he'd rather wear dirty shirts thin clean 'tins; if he'd rather sleep on the ground than in a nice feather bed, and if he'd rather get murdered after he got there, than stay at home with them that thought something of him, and keep on livin'— why then he might go— nobody could have enny objections! Mr. Shinlcle is a sensible man and he's made up his mind to stay at home, end I think a heap more of him. It is the most funny thing that the people goin' to Californy nin't arter gold—there all goin' for their health—more particularly them that has families ; and it is distressin' to see the number of married men that have just found out that there in a fair way to git the gallopin' consumption, and nothin' but a trip to Californy will cure 'em. But nobody can tell what this world is comin' to, there is so many revulsions occorrin'. But what is most surprisin' to me, is to hear of preachers—them that have pretended to renounce the pomps end vainness of this world, in order to pre- pare other people for the next—to hear of them fittiii' out for Californy, inin' pistols and bowie knives, and rifles and nil the time 'bout preachin' the gospel to the ignited Mexicans and Ingins that work in the gold mines, end expatintin' on the good they'll do, the moral effect their presence 'II have and all that ! They ain't goin' for gold—of course not. Mr. Skinkle sed he'd met a preacher from the east the other day who ens on his way to Californy. He had a rifle and all the other fixing' in- cludin' a patent gold washer and a bob. tail mule. He told Mr. Skinkle that his health was de clinin' with great rapid- ness, that his doctor had told hint to travel in more gentle climes, so he tho't he'd cross the rocky mountains and pay flyin' visit to Californy. He made Mr. Skinkle promise to call and see him before he left. Mr. Skinkle did call, but the preacher was gone, anti he'd left behind him a bundle of tracts and a bible in the room nt the hotel—- but the gold washin' machine was gone. "I do believe that Mr. Smith has gone clean crazy about Californy. The other mornin' I ax'd him at breakfast, if he'd have sugar in his coffee, and he sed he'd take a thirteen pound lump. "I notes that most of 'em that is go- in' to Californy, talk about the excitin' time they'll have on the plains, the buf- faloes they'll kill, the Inguns they'll scare with their six shootin' pistols, and the nice, amusin' time they'll have cook- in their own vittals, and (loin' their own washin', N—, who has bin to San- ter Fe, says its all very nice to talk about but, comin'to loin' it, Oats quite another thing. When you've sometimes to carry wood two miles, water jest as far arter makin a fire, and upsettin' the coffee pot once or twice and puttin all the fire out ; otter forgittin' the bread in the skillet till it's burnt lip, and arter fryin' the salt pork, till theres nothin' but cracklins and greese left—'bout the time you've done all this. you'll wish you was home, whir you could git some civilized vittals and a femenine woman to cook 'eni for you. " If Mr. Skinkle had went to Califor- ny, how I'd like to seed him settin' on a log by theriver, wnshin' his own clothes with his green specs on the tip of his nose, a piece of yeller soap in his hand, rubbiti away for life—what a pictur' he'd make ! "Actor all, gold don't make people happy ; men will work, and scuffle and toil, day and night, for years and years sacrifisin' comforts and friends, and ev- ery sociable tie—and for what 1 That, in their old age, the children they have neglected, the relations they have slight- ed, may count the hours that may re- main before they may come in posses- sion of the money thus obtained. You tell me my dear boy, that you're goin' to Californy'! Take my advise and stay at home. If you can get rich with- out loosin' your respectability, and with- out making a miser of yourself, then your money may be a blessin' to you and not a curse, and you will be really happy—for I take it, happiness is deli- vated from a consciousness of havin' done what was right towards men, and what is your duty to your maker ! Mrs. Scruggins nevar looked so much like an uncle, as she - did at the conclu- of this homily. 0}- We were looking for the latest report upon gentlemen's fashions, lately; a New York house says, "there is not much change in gentlemen's pants this month!"

[From the St. Louis Reville.)Mrs. Scruggins on California.

BY NED,

" It's nothin' but Californy, Crilafor-ny, from mornin' to night," said MrsScruggins, the other day, to a youngfriend who had expressed his determi-nation to go to California. "Mr. Smithis going to Californy, Mr. Jones is go-in' to Californy, Mr. Brown is goin' toCaliforny,—Everybody is goin' to Cali-forny, 'cept sensible people, and theystay at home. Mr. Skinkle had the feverlast winter, and the way lie took on !I told him to go if he wanted to go! toleave his friends and the comforts oflife, and launch himself out in the par-rams. amongst the Savagacious ober'.ginists of the woods, and git himsellkilled and cat up for his trouble. I don'tcare. I told lihn if he liked to eatmules better than beef cattle, if he likedold dried meat better than fresh : if he'drather wear dirty shirts thin clean 'tins;if he'd rather sleep on the ground thanin a nice feather bed, and if he'd ratherget murdered after he got there, thanstay at home with them that thoughtsomething of him, and keep on livin'—why then he might go— nobody couldhave enny objections! Mr. Shinlcle isa sensible man and he's made up hismind to stay at home, end I think a heapmore of him. It is the most funny thingthat the people goin' to Californy nin'tarter gold—there all goin' for theirhealth—more particularly them that hasfamilies ; and it is distressin' to see thenumber of married men that have justfound out that there in a fair way to gitthe gallopin' consumption, and nothin'but a trip to Californy will cure 'em.But nobody can tell what this world is

comin' to, there is so manyrevulsionsoccorrin'.

But what is most surprisin' to me, isto hear of preachers—them that havepretended to renounce the pomps endvainness of this world, in order to pre-pare other people for the next—to hearof them fittiii' out for Californy,inin' pistols and bowie knives, and riflesand nil the time 'bout preachin'the gospel to the ignited Mexicans andIngins that work in the gold mines, endexpatintin' on the good they'll do, themoral effect their presence 'II have andall that ! They ain't goin' for gold—ofcourse not. Mr. Skinkle sed he'd meta preacher from the east the other daywho ens on his way to Californy. Hehad a rifle and all the other fixing' in-cludin' a patent gold washer and a bob.tail mule.• He told Mr. Skinkle that hishealth was de clinin' with great rapid-ness, that his doctor had told hint totravel in more gentle climes, so he tho'the'd cross the rocky mountains and pay

flyin' visit to Californy. He madeMr. Skinkle promise to call and seehim before he left. Mr. Skinkle didcall, but the preacher was gone, antihe'd left behind him a bundle of tractsand a bible in the room nt the hotel—-but the gold washin' machine was gone.

"I do believe that Mr. Smith hasgone clean crazy about Californy. Theother mornin' I ax'd him at breakfast,if he'd have sugar in his coffee, and hesed he'd take a thirteen pound lump.

"I notes that most of 'em that is go-in' to Californy, talk about the excitin'time they'll have on the plains, the buf-faloes they'll kill, the Inguns they'llscare with their six shootin' pistols, andthe nice, amusin' time they'll have cook-in their own vittals, and (loin' their ownwashin', N—, who has bin to San-ter Fe, says its all very nice to talkabout but, comin'to loin' it, Oats quiteanother thing. When you've sometimesto carry wood two miles, water jest asfar arter makin a fire, and upsettin' thecoffee pot once or twice and puttin allthe fire out ; otter forgittin' the breadin the skillet till it's burnt lip, and arterfryin' the salt pork, till theres nothin'but cracklins and greese left—'bout thetime you've done all this. you'll wishyou was home, whir you could git somecivilized vittals and a femenine womanto cook 'eni for you.

" If Mr. Skinkle had went to Califor-ny, how I'd like to seed him settin' on alog by theriver, wnshin' his own clotheswith his green specs on the tip of hisnose, a piece of yeller soap in his hand,rubbiti away for life—what a pictur'he'd make !

"Actor all, gold don't make peoplehappy ; men will work, and scuffle andtoil, day and night, for years and yearssacrifisin' comforts and friends, and ev-ery sociable tie—and for what 1 That,in their old age, the children they haveneglected, the relations they have slight-ed, may count the hours that may re-main before they may come in posses-sion of the money thus obtained. Youtell me my dear boy, that you're goin'to Californy'! Take my advise andstay at home. If you can getrich with-out loosin' your respectability, and with-out making a miser of yourself, thenyour money may be a blessin' to youand not a curse, and you will be reallyhappy—for I take it, happiness is deli-vated from a consciousness of havin'done what was right towards men, andwhat is your duty to your maker !

Mrs. Scruggins nevar looked so muchlike an uncle, as she-did at the conclu-of this homily.
