      choose not to risk their lives and happiness , even for ^ ° <« Cannot California be made like the rest of the « rorld ? cannot its condition be rendered conformable to that of other lands , -where such a state of things does not prevail ? " inquires some innocent individual . Poor creature ! Let the querist examine the state of society as intently as that of California , and he will find them perfectly conformable . Labour would be ¦ wasted in endeavouring to reform-the gold country before we reform' ourselves .

      Society itself is a great California , where the defects of that region are patented . Men are unceasingly digging for gold . They look upon it as the summum bonum of existence ; and when , they acquire the obiect of their most ardent wishes , what is the result ? The result is , that they find themselves surrounded by a thousand harpies , whose eager gaze is fixed upon their treasure . They cannot even purchase the necessities of life but they discover that their goods are adul terated by the gold-seeking tradesman . The society of their fellows is bought by their wealth ; they know that without its attraction their friends would speedily vanish . In short , all around them the monster

      bears the seal and the mark of gold . Their warfare with their species , which they believed would end with the acquisition of riches , is prolonged without a chance of its termination . If they lose the treasure , which often happens , their toil commences afresh , and perhaps the remnant of their days is spent in soul-gnawing penury . Is this happiness ? Newspapers , look at home , and do your duty ! Preaching against this gold fever is useless . When a thousand advantages , only derivable from the possession of wealth , urge men to strive to obtain it , a few moral sayings will not suffice to stay the maddening pursuit . Efforts to subdue this avaricious disposition , to be of service , must be practically made .

      The clergyman delivers a homily against gold , and straightway solicits patronage at some great man ' s door . The moralist utters his " wise saws and modern instances , " and straightway mixes chicory with his coffee ,, sloe-leaves with his tea , sand with his sugar , or water with his milk , and bows reverently at the shrines of the deities of the Stock Exchange . They have powerful motives , and it is those motives which must be destroyed . This course * will effect a work which neither sermons nor proverbs will accomplish . Hugh John Ukciuhart .
