Nov. 28th 1819 n , iFrofanity of the vlest desC ription oath such as we never colelved tould bd ut. t6 rd ib human lips, incessi'ntly filled the Uir tiif Nrrtlro hritsef, awed into silence, :witlhold her ecihroes. Though accustom. ed to the common vice of swearing in the United States, and even to hearing it from the lips of fatshiontable young gentlemen of respectublo families, we doubt if they are aware how extensively their vocabu. lary, in this particular, may be increased. Learned in boyhood, liketho use of to: bacco, for the sake of aping a prematuro manhood, both these vices would be wan. ting in their host of followers at maturer age, if it is t rite, as the giant of the British classical writers has said, that "rirlue is the best proof of understanding." Yet many indulge in them from mere habit, who are quite ready to assent to these opitons. Independent of the moral turpi. tide of the one, nnd the indecency antd expensivenesis of the olher, we conf'ess, as A mericans, with a thrill of shame, to have forgotten sometimes the opinion and tho example of our revered and immortal Washington, in relation to these vices. The deep disgust, however, experienced at the revohing profanity of life in the gold regions we can never forget; and thousands of our young countrymen who haee gone there, will, doubtless share in this opinion. With some of these men, who appeared good natured ini their excesses, we venti red to remonstratfe. We said, "This dig. ging gold is toilsome and hard labor, why do you not try and keep some for a rainv day?" Aid their reply was, "Oh, we know where theie's plenty more, and when we want it we can dig it." As further proof of the general waste. fulnessof lie gold, we friequnetly saw miner.; lying inl the dust helpless witi inl. toxicationi, who, it was known, had lin. dreds of dollars in goi aways ripon their persons; and one mian in particular, who had dlfg with his own hanrds and obtained of indi7s some 23,000 ill gold, we saw in this conditioi two or three days, and he hnd niw but about 87,000 renianming. Old Greenwood's little boys, and oth ers, came daily to our tent, Somletilies tiwice or thrice, with gold dust tied up in the corners ofthei r handkerchiefs. amount ing each time to fractional parts o? one, two, or three dollars, which they obtained by gathering and blowing or washinr out the dust about the counters or doors ofr the traders and groggeries. Among all the roving and reckless characters by whom we weresurrounded. were tiwo special curiosities, named Iill and Grus. Now, Bill and Gus had conic over from the Middle Fork, for a pirticu. lar, general, and universal "Ist." Ile. ing well known diggcrs, they had not only plenty of tie dust, but, when that was gone, they had ubundunt credit, both at the traders and uroggeries. As bosom friends they were never apart; and with hearts softened by the furmes of liquor they loved all a round them, attarching thremrselves as fixtue..s toouar tent. Tis was annoyvinig; but like manny other things in Califorrnia must be horne. Bill was wiry as an Indiain, arid with his jet locks and' fuaritive eyes resembrhled one not a lit. tie; while Guas, with his sleek anid roun. dod limbs, was like an eider tncle to him. Ono of our parrty, after being strrnigly so. lieted, sold Bill a botrie of French briandy', la id ini fhr medlical purposes, at halIf an otice, or eight dolla rs.-lI T immnediaitely inisis'ted onf ouir drinking with ima; btr e'r ou:r refusing several timelts, lhe das't.~hd it ailnl agrinst a tree, thus throwirng awyhishl ounce arid Iris brandv hothi. lIn paying for .some'thing, lie dropped a small hump, of gol, worth two or three dollar is, whlich we piceked up andm olyeredr him.
