On the 14th one of our readers will meet with a severe disappointment in love.
Winkinson cannot stand this sort of thing any longer. He has made up his mind, and will go to Australia—with the best of them!
The materials for gold-washing, however, come expensive, and some time is necessarily occupied in Winkinson's getting a supply.
JANUARY.
January derives its name from the Roman deity Janus. It is the first month of the year—following December, and taking precedence of February. It contains thirty-one days.
We have been induced to make the above remarks by the conviction that no work, however brilliant, has a chance of success in the present day, unless containing a certain amount of really sound and valuable information. Considering we have established our powers in that line triumphantly, we will proceed to foretell the principal events of the month.
On second thoughts though, the month is so absurdly near at hand, and the events themselves will so soon happen, that it is hardly worth while. It has even occurred to us that it would be an insult to our readers—the very notion of which makes our blood run cold! Of course, under the circumstances, we cannot think of anything of the kind.
