PADDY o’nouutii:a-rt.

A More rough looking picture ofthe hu- man form divine, was never. probably. pre- sented to Timothy Brown than Paddy O'- Dougherty, as he applied to M: Brown for a day's work on the High Bridge; and our sltetch Wits taken at this-period. oiv, Timothy was a smart, driving Yankee-— keert its a brier, determinate. shrewd and persevering. He had taken it contract for certain portions of the mason work, to finish out an abutment at the end of the bridge. He had calculated on eieployin workmen at the lowest price, and had on culittcd to meet many honest Irishmeu, at that low price, who would rather wprlt than starve. He would have been di d to have paid more, but, in the fttcetol sharp competition, he was obliged to mitkc his bid very, low, in order to procure its acce ance.

When spoken to by l,’nddy, his eye

Ittnced ltestily over his stalwart figure, und Timothy's ju nt pronounced him a good man. He thought he would be willing to pa such a man one dolhr pcr.dey, but his Puukee shrewdncse tempted hint to make it much lower offer at first, expecting some chulfering on Paddy's part, alter which he could increase his offer according to circumstances. Accordingly, he offered him forty cents per day, and was surprised ttpou its immediate acceptance by Paddy.

Stripping his shoulders, Paddy was at work instantly. There was It quiet alncrity in his movements, and a gleam of intelli- gence from his eye, that spoke of self-coir fidence on Paddy's part, more than Timothy Brown had calculated. Paddy kept steadily nt work, and proved the best band employ- ctl

His savings were carefullytr-ensured, and none spent on drink or smo e. Every cent ofthese, his first earnings in Atncricn, were devoted to it sacred purpose-that purpose, to bring out his wife and child to the country of his adoption. Paddy had lelt home a pauper, made so by the unfeeling treatment .of a harsh landlord. But he had it stout heart, and rather than mourn over- his demolished ltut in home, he determi- ned that his own right band should win him a competence elsewhere. night he departed from his native place, and sought a seaport town. Unknown and uti- fricndcd, an honest countenance procured him employment as it stevedure on it vessel loading for America. As payment, he wits given it free passage in tho steer-age. And thus Paddy stood, with his bundle on his back, not an hour oil‘ the ship, when he hcsird of the opportunities of work at High Bridge. e lost no time, but quietly inqui- red the way, and walked from the city the sume afternoon.

Aitd now, pursuing the even tenor of his way, minding his own business, work- ing littrd, bitt his wages being grtidutilly raised, we see Pnddy fairly iiflout in the New World. Six months after, Paddy remitted home the money for the passage of his wi (2. Nine months li-orn the day he landed he moved his wife and family into an humble little dwelling, entirely paid for by his earnings.

Soon after, he let! Mr. Brown's employ, being offered situation as porter; he did not hesitate to ucce t it. Here, his honesty, willingness and integrity. soon made hint a general favorite. Once favored .vith oppor- tunities for exercising his intelligence, he soon proved that not the accident of birth makes a truly smart man. In five years he was the best business partner in the house which he entered as porter.

Eight yearii from the time in which be lirst engaged himself to Timothy Brown at forty cents per day, Paddy ODoughcigy was worth one hundred thousand dollar-t-, owned a country sent within sight of his fit-it day's labors, and cut loyed Timothy Brown as superintendent ofpit, at two dollars per day; and, though i-ou h be the name, few gentlemen more nlfab e, polite. or intelli- gent, or more gentleman! in appearance, can this dn be seen in stcr street than this same Izaddy 0’Dougherty.

I! GOLD BETTER THAN l'Afl.I PIODUCI.

The Ohio Farmer, in commenting upon the letter of a California correspondent, makes some very sensible remarks about the mania which has possessed the people ofthis country to forsake the golden lie ds of their own State, to die in the “ gold fields" ofCalifoi-ttia, where they often gather more disappointment than produce.

It has ever been our opinion (saysthe Fsrissr-) that the ultimate prosperity of California, or any other State, must be influenced more by its adaptation to agri- cultural pursuits than by any or all the gold mines that have been or may be found therein. There can be no sort'of doubt but that the greatest source of wealth which Califiirrtsa seen, is found in the rich valleys, table lands, and the noun- tain slopes so graphically described by Fremont, and now so ably noticed by Mr. Kelly. When thug ,,ssot_tr.vsI sis dsvslssod. truths; will to rsrysssa. its

comparative. iitsigailicancc.t—Look at It is said that the yield,-of gold from the California mines for the current year will reach the enormous sutatof filiy-five or sixty millions of dollars! An enormous sum truly; and yet we venture to say that the value of the ling crop alone of the State of’ New York will fully equal it! Six counties of that State produced. in I850, 80911» tons of hay which. at $7 per ton, would be ',‘iU0.000.-—Tltis they do year alter year, with it gradual increase; and yet. how few are seen rushing to the inodewas of Oneida, Jelfersne, Chestnu- go, Delwat-e, Chautauqua .oi-,- Lawrence. The wheat and corn fields of Ohio produce annually more dollars than the gold mines of California. Yet there is no noise run It ahout it; and instead of thousands rushing to them in the hope of growing suddenly rich, tltousends have been fleeing from them in search of 3oId—gold—-gold. We hazard nothing in sitying that had the emi- grants to- California, since the discovery of gold there, gone instead to the rich lands of our Western States, they cottld have produced double the amount of all the gold dog from the mines ofthnt El Dorndo. The capital necessary to place a man in working condition in the California mines would have settled him comfortably on an eighty acre lot in Iowa, in a good cabin, steam. farming utensils, provisions, &c., and insured him, instead of it chance for little gold, the certainty of an independent position in life, without the sacrifice of home friends, health, morale, and indeed all that, men should esteem valuable in life, Thank heaven, the "gold mania" is in itrtilectidence, and the time is near when it will be seen and known, that every ounce ofgnlddust dog from the mines of Califor- nia, haiv cost twice. its market value.

GAMBLING INDEED.

One night last week says the N. Y. Sun- orrricr a celebrated steamboat owner, railroad builder, and general contractor, walked iulo it highly, rt-epectnltlc ganibliig house on Broadway, and pluntped down

won that, end then another, wltr-rt-upon thr- bank broke, and the sport of the evening was spoiled.

Another celebrated New Yorker, as well know in the sporting world ustlte other gentlemen. and itally in favour of ll higher law went into atnothergumbling house nuil won nearly the some amount, with the same resiilt--brenltitig the bank, for the time being, and spoiliug other people's pleasures. We have not seen any allusions to these two breaks in the tnoney atlicltes ofthe daily presq but the facts are as we have stated them, and we might statcii good many more interesting particulars, growing out of those operations, ifit Wus contrary to nut‘ principles to meddle with other people's affairs which do not come properly before the public. But we have it remark to make on the facts we have dis- closed, for the benefit oftlie public at large. Let no extravagant young man about town. who is impatient to grow rich in the twink- ling of a kiinve of diamonds make an ex- periment at it gambling table, ivitlt the expcctntiin that a similar piece of good luck might beftil him. uch turns only happen once or twice in a thousand years; and none but‘ a double distilled dunce will venture his all upon the hazard ofa ie.

In the first :of the instances which we have given, the garnltler had a million or two ol dollars to fell back upon if he had lost, and he would probabl stake two or three hundred thousand dol ars in his ami- able attempt. to break the bank. n the other case. the adventurer plu ed with borrowed money, and If he he lost his thousand dollars. would have been compel- led to retire with his hands in his empty

pockets. The resent is ngamhling age, and there are at Hcerns in Wall Street as well as in Broadway. Brokers gamble

in stocks, merchants gamble in clipper ships, builders in houses, jobbers in calicocs. publishers in books, speculators in cottom, and politicians in principles. Gamblers, whether with cards or merchandise, are alike a curse to the community; they add nothing to the common prosperity; and whr.-never._tliey make a gain it must be to the loss of some other person. The only valuable rnetnbers of society are the slow and patient‘ ‘pr-oiluccrs —mechanics, the farmers. and regular trader, who work hard, save a little, live consistently, and die happy.
