Jj, THE ST AND AED PATEKT
[INDEPENDENT IN EVERYTHING.}
During the period of twelve years subse
quent to 1848) San Francisco, California,
was the theater of more startling events
than probably any other city on the Amer
ican continent.
This was, a natural consequence attend
ing the | rapid increase of population in
that city, and the flooding of thp adjacent
country with eager fortune hunters.—
Every steamer that arrived landed hun
dreds, perhaps thousands, of adventurers,
who o<une from all parts W the globe, and
rushed into this land of promise like a
mighty Invading army, comprising among
their number men and women of. every
character, color and profession;
There was no friendly feelings or com
mon sympathy expressed among them
AvaricioUsness was the preponderating
disposition which characterized all them-
uiuvemcuuj.— but
one desire, and that was Goldl Golu l To
obtam wlficb, principles, peace and life
were freclv sacrificed.
Jf an aithcntic history of California,
during thdperiod alluded to, could be writ
ten, presetting in truthful colors all the
dark dcedsW atrocity—let them be mi
nutely delated, and what a book it would
make! most wild and imaginative
fancy of thi most prolific brain, could riot

THE DYING SOLDIER.
On Buena Vista’s battle field,
A soldier dying lay ;
His thoughts were on his mountain hom6
Some thousand miles away.
He sailed his comrades to his side,
For much had he to say,
In briefest time of those that wore
Some thousand miles away.
My lather, somnuies, you will W 1
About this bloody fray;
My country’s standard, say to him,
■Was safe with mo to-day.
I’ve made a pillow of it now
On which to lay my head—
A winding sheet you’ll moke of it
When I am with the dead.
I know it will grief his inmost soul,
Xe think that never more
I’ll set with him beneath the oak
That shades his cottage door.
But tell the time-worn patriot.
That remindful of his fame,
on this bloody battle field -
' I sullied not his name. ' i
My mother’s form is with mo now—
Her wails are on my ear;
As drop by drop, as flows my blood.
So flow from her the tears;
Oh.’ then when you shall tell to her
The tidings of this day.
Speak softly, comrades, softly speak
What yon may have to say.
Speak not to her in hurried tones,
When this blighting news you hear ;
The chords of life may snap to soon—
So, comrades, have a care.
I am her only cherished child;
But tell her that I died
Rejoicing that she taught mo yonng
To take my country’s side.
But, comrades, there is one I fain
Cnee more to look npoh;
She lives upon the sloping hill
That overlooks the lawn;
The lawn where I shall never more,
In spring time’s sunny hoars.
Go forth with her in many wood
To gather woodland flowers.
TeH her, when death, was on my brow.
And life receding fast,

THE WINER’S FEARFUL RESOLVE.
A TALE OF CALIFORNIA.

At that period there was a small frame
, building, conveniently located, being hut
a short distance from the wharf) where
! steamers landed their passengers. The
house was occupied aa a boarding estab
lishment, and like many others;of a similar
character, the bar-room constituted ' the
most prominent feature. <' .
The tenement was one story and a half
high, and about eighteen by twenty-four
feet on the ground. It stood : upon four
large blocks of wood, one at each corner,
which raised the first floor about three feet
above a pool of stagnant water, and the
entrance to-the building was effected by
means of a dry goods box t turned down
in front, answering the purpose of more
convenient steals.
The lower pbrtibn of the structure con?
l aine< l but two apartments—a bar-room
and dining hall. The latter was also used
for kitchen and larder. The attic or loft
I was partitioned off into several! small dor-f
mitories, with fragments of o d canvass,
hanging at the entrance, as suicedancum
for doors. r ■
The furniture of each apartment con
sisted of two coarse dirty blankets, spread
on the bare floor, a small tick filled with
straw for a pillow and one wOpden stool.
These articles constituted the entire ac
commodations of each chamber; and the
price for the luxury was one dollar a
night. • ’
In one of these attic rooms, on the
night to which wc allude, was .a! man, who;
wa& walking slowly two and fro yrith a sad, I
dejected countenance. On a istool near
the hlanket-bed was a lamp which filled 1
the little room with a pale flickering light,
yet sufficient to reveal the expression upon,
the man’s features. •* I

u Fate has followed me since the days
of my childhood. At eighteen] years of
age I fell in love with it beautiful young
lady. She was poor in worldly goods but
superlatively wealthy in goodnesj of heart
and disposition. She was a seamstress,
and obtained her living by going from
home in the capacity of a sewing girl. I
loved her with all my youthful
fondly and truly j but my parents were
nch, aristocratin, and forbade Ojtir union,
simply because Opposition
were married. Father became <|esperatc,
and cast me off. Ho vefused me to visit
my former home. Anticipating ibis, I
had previously provided myself a situation
® clerk in a store. And for aj year we
lived in the most perfect happiness. If I
had continued there, I might havl avoided
these misfortunes; but the California gold
fever broke uot, and everybody was going
to the land of promise where they could
scrape up shovel falls of the precious metal
without an effort. I caught the flattering
contagion, and pictured. In tho fafore a
palace home, with the luxuries pjf wealth,
opulence and ease. Mary wodlji some

I could only,go and remain afowJnonths,
I should he worth even more tpian my
father-—a desideratum greatly to pe desir

consented to my proposal, and I left: her
at her father’s, where she was to | remain
until I returned, little -dreaming! that I
should never see; , again. That was
fouryears ago. IJyerjr expression of her
at that time & indelibly in pressed
upon my heart, and will never ho effaced.

Having given utterance to these words
in a scarce audible tone, he arose, wrap

extinguished the lamp, and passed frpm

A few moments thereafter, he was walk
