THlE PUBLIC RAICGRY.
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',

lIn paying for .some'thing, lie dropped a
small hump, of gol, worth two or three

with a comnical m rixturet of :raazemienit and

result of inherent cause or causes, produced by'$r.
regularity, illness oraccident Nothing can be more
surprising thean its invgorating effects onths human
frame. Persons all weakness and lassitude. from
taking it, at once become robust and full of enargy
unler its influence. It immediately epunteraets
the nervelessness of the female frame, whic is the
great cause of Barrenness. It will not be extpected
of us, in cases of so delicate a nature, to exhibit car.
tificates of cnret performed, but we can assure the
afflicted. that hundreds of cases have been reported
to us. Thousands. of cases where families have been
without children. after using a few bottles of this
