Treasures.
Let mo count my treasures,
All my soul holds dear,
Given me by dark spirits
Whom I used to fear.
- " Through long days of anguish,
And sad nights, did Pain
porgc my shield, Endurance,
Bright and free from stain!
-Doubt, in misty caverns,
'Mid dark horrors sought,
Till my peerless jewel,
Faith to mo she brought.
Sorrow (that I weaned
Should remain so long,)
Wretched my starry glory,
The brinht Crown of Song!
Strife, that racked my spirit
Without hope or rest,
Left the bloon,ing flower,
Patience on my breast.
Suffering, that I dreaded,
Ignorant of her charms,
.Laid the fair child, Pit',
Smiling in my arms.
So I count my treasures,
Stored in days long past;
And I thank the givers,
"Whom I know at last!

me for having thc manly firmness and cour
age to say no. I wish thee an eternal fare
well. YII. Thou shalt not grow discouraged,
nor think of going home before thou hast
made thy "pile," because thon hast not
"struck a lead," nor found a "rich crevice,"
nor sunk a hole upon a "pocket," lest in going
home thou shalt leave four dollars a day and
go to work, ashamed, at fifty cents, and serve
thee right; for thottknowest by staying here,
thou mightest strike a lead fifty dollars a day,
and keep thy manly self-respect, and then
go home with enough to make thyself and
others happy.
Till. Thou shalt not steal a pick, or a
shovel, or a pan, from thy fellow miner, nor
take away his tools without his leave- nor
borrow those he cannot spare: nor return
them broken, nor trouble him to fetch them
back again; nor talk with him while his wa
ter rent is running on; nor remove his stake
to enlarge thy claim, nor undermine his
bank in following a lead, nor pan out gold
from his "rifle box," nor wash the "tailings"
from his sluice's mouth. Neither shalt thou
pick out specimens from the company's pan
to put them in thy mouth, or in thy purse;
nor cheat thy partner of his share; nor steal
from thy cabin mate his gold dust, to add to
thine, for he will be sure to discover what
thou hast done, and will straightway call his
fellow miners together, and if the law hinder
them not, they will hang thee, or give thee
fifty lashes, or shave thy head and brand
thee, like a horse thief, with H upon thy
cheek, to be known and read of all men, Cal-
iforniaus in particular.

faithfully and patiently she awaitcth thy re
turn; yea, and covereth each epistle that
thou seudest with kisses of kindly welcome
until she hath thyself. Neither shalt thou
covet thy neighbor's wife, nor trifle with the
affections of his daughter; yet if thy heart
be free, and thou love and covet each other,
thou shalt "pop the question" like a man,
lest another more manly than thou art, should
step in before thee, and thou love her in vain,
and in the anguish of thy heart's disappoint
ment, thou -shalt quote the language of the
great, and say, "sich is life;" and -thy future
lot be that of a poor, lonely, despised aud
comfortless bachelor.
A new Commandment give I unto thee
if thou hast a wife and little ones, that thou
lovest dearer than thy life that thou keep
them continually before theo, to cheer aud
rough hhod, over thv good old parents thee onward until Vhou canst say, "I
tsand examples, that thou mavest 1 1,livc enough-God ble-,s theui-I will return."
Then as thou jov.rne vest toward thy nuieu
loved home wi,th open arms shall they come
forth to. welcome thee, and falling upon thy
neck., weep tears of unutterable joy that thou
i-t come; when in the fulness of thy heart's
gratitude thou shalt kneel before thy Heav
enly Father together, to thank liiui for Un
safe return. Ambx So mote it be!

was too hurried to justify my attempting
a description of the place. Now that I
am domiciled here an inmate of thc U
