I saw in my dream a wonderful Ftr.-am. Ai d over the stream was a bridge so slender, Aril over the white (here was a scarlet light, And over the tcarlet a golden splendor. And beyond the br:d,-c "?i"i goodly ridge Where bees ' made hoDey, and corn was growing, Artl down that war through the golden gray A gy ycung m m rowing. I could ee froai the Fhore that a rose he wore Stuck in his buf.ou bole, rare ns the rarest, Anil sdngii.g a t-ong and rowing along I guessed hid lace to be fair as the fairest. And all by the corn where the bees at morn ilnde combs of honey with breathing bated, I saw byfthe ftreanj (it wa. only a dream) A lovely lady that watched and waited. There were fair green leaven in her si-ken ficeve?, big, And inosc her locks in the winds were blow And r-he kisi'd to land with her miik-white hand The gay young man in t'.'C boat a rowing. And all po light hi her apron white She caught the littie red rose he cast her, And "llatite!" -he cried, with her arms po wide, lldte, sweetheart, ha.'e!" but the bott was past her. And the pray so cold ran over the gold, And -he sighed with only the winds to hear her "lift love me Mi'!," and he rowed with a will, jJut j.-iti'.e.-'s Fate, not ha, was btceitr. And there till the morn blushed over the corn And- over the bets in their sweet combs' hucamhig. Her locks w'uh the dew drenched through and through, ftouiing ! She watched and waited her false love's But the maid to-dav vha reads my lav Hay keep her young heart light as a feather : It wa. only a d: ej.ui , the bridge and the sti e im, Aud lady and lover, and all together. llerrih and Home Cults, Jsfccttjjes, 2:ur&cks, fit.

Two brothers, lea rasters, did some haul i:g for a man in Virginia city, and had to tkc a tuiall fceritod portion of s ciiver mine in lieu of J500 cash. TLey jjuve an outsider a third to open the mine, and they went on tewtrdr.;. Hut not lon. Ten ni.jj.tl.s afterwards the mine was out tcbt and paying each owner $8,0U0 to i'l 0,000 a month tay 100,000 a year. They had that Land(orc3 ineonie for ju-t abut two yeare and they dressed in lii-3 loudest kind of costumes and were mighty diaujonds and pUu'd poker for aruube ment, theie men who Lad seldom $20 at one time in alt their liveB before. One of ihoan U tendinn; bar fur wagee now, nnd the other i berving hi country as coin imuiderir.vchief of a fctreet car in San Francinco at $75 per tunnth. He was very glad to get that employment, too. One of the earliefct nabobs that Nevada was delivered of wore $0,000 worth of diamonds in hi be aura, fill 8 wore he was unhappy because ho couldn't pend his money a faat as he made it. Hut let ua ieaiu from him that persistent clfort is bound to achieve success at last. With in a year'H lime h'i6 iiappine33 wa6 secure, for he hadn't a Cent to Fpend. Anuther Nevada nabob boasted an in come that often reached $1 G,000 a uionLh; and he used to love to tell how he had worked in the very mine that yielded it, for jfo a day, when he fiiBt came to the country. Three years afterward he at tained to the far more exceeding grandeur of working in it again, at Jour dullurs a day. The silver aud eage-briish State has knowledge of another of these pets of for tune lifted from actual poverty to afflu ence almo?t in a single night who was able to nlfer 100,000 for a position of high official distinction short ly afterward, and did offer it and a little over a year a,lro a friend saw him shoveling enow on the Pacific liailroad for a living, away up on the summit of the Sierras, some 7,000 feet above the level ot comfort and the sea. The friend remarked that it inuat be pretty hard work ; though, as-the snow was twenty-five feet deep, it promised to bo a steady job, at least. Ye?, he said, he didn't mind it lion; though a month or so ago, when it was sixty-two feet deep and still a snowing, he was uot bj much attached to it. Such is life. Then there was John Smith. That wasn't his name, but we will call hiru that. lie was a good, honest, kind hearted fellow, born and reared in the lower ranks of life, and miraculously ig norant. He drove a team, and the team belonged to another man. 15y and by he married an exeeilent woman, who owned a small ranch a ranch that paid them a comfortable living, tor although it yielded but little hay, what little it did yield was worth from S250 to $500 in gold per ton in the market. Presently Smith traded a few acres of the ranch for a small, un developed silver-mine in Gold I 111. lie opened the mine and built a lit tl 3 unpre tending ten-ftamp mill. Eighteen mon;hs afterward he quit raising hay, for his mining income had readied a tnoft com fortable figure. Some people said it was 30,000 a month, and others said it was $G0,000. Smith was very lich anyhow. He built a house out in the desert right in the mostTorbiddtng and other vrisc howl ing desert and it was currently reported that that house cost him a quarter of a million. lVs?ibly that wa exaggerated somewhat, though it certainly wj.3 a fine house ar.d a costly one. The VrIstcads cost $400 or $500 apiece. And then the Smiths went to Europe and traveled. And when they came back Smith was never tired of telling r.'out the tine hogs he had Faen in Enghind, and the gorgeous sheep he had seen ir- Spain, and the fine cattle he had noticsi in the vicinity of IJome. lie was fe'i of the wonders of the old world, ar.i advi-ed I cvcrvhddv tn tr:ivfd I coJ-l . t.vn never imagined what surpr irir things there were in the world till hr ' ad trav eled. One day, on board ship, the T?.fscngers j m.-we up a pool of $500, which xns to be j the projsc-rty of the man who sLc-jld come nearest to guessing the run of 'lie vessel for the next twenty-four hou". Next day, toward noon, the figures v.re all in t tie purser's hands in sealed envelopes. beeu bribing the engineer. He.t another patty won the prize ! Smith ts.'A, "Hero, that won't do! PZi gu-jsscd two miles wider of the mark thren I did." The purser said, "Mr. Srith, you missed it further than any msn on board. Ve traveled two hundred and c:ght miles yesterday." "Well, sir," Faid Smith, "ihars just where I've got you, for I guessed two hundred and nine. If you'll look at my figgers again you'll find a 2 and two naughts, which stands f-r 200, don't it ? and after 'era you'll find a 9 (2009), which stands for two hundred and nine. I reckon I'll take tL.at mono-, if ycu please." j Well, omiih )3 tltnd And when ha j died ha wasn't worth a cent. The !es;n.n j of this ic, that one must learn how to do ' everything he docs one muht have cxpe 1 rience in boing rich befure he can rcmitn l rich. The history of California will prove j tliis to your entire satisfaction. Sudden j wealth is ian awful Kiiofortuns to the av- erags run of lu-'o. It is wasting breath, j to in.-truct the reader after this fashion, though, for no man was ever convinced of it yet liil he had tried it himself and I am around now hunting Tir a man who is afrnid to try it. I haven't had any luck, so far. All the early pioneers of California ac quired more or les-9 wealth, but an enor mous majority ot them have not got any now. Those that have, get it slowly and by patient toil. The reader has heard of the great Gould & Curry silver mine of Nevada. I believe its shares arc still quoted in the stock tales in New York papers. The claim comprised 1,200 feet, if I remem ber rightly, or may be it was 800 and I I think it all belonged originally to two men whose names it bears. Mr. Curry owned two-thirds of it and he said that he sold it out for twenty-five hundred dol lars, in cash, and an old plug horse that ate up h'i9 market value m hay and bar ley iu seventeen days by the watch. And he said that Gould sold out for a pair of second-hand government blankets and a bottle of whisky that killed nine men in ihrce hours, and an unoiTending stranger that smelt the cork was disabled for life, four years afterward the- mine thus dis posed of was worth in the San Francisco market seven million six hundred thou sand dollars in gold coin. In the early days a poverty-stricken Mexican who lived in a canon right bark of Virginia City, had a stream of water as large as a man's wrist trickling from the hillside on his premises. The Opbir Company segregetcd 100 feet of their mine and swapped it to him for the Ftreani of water. Tne hundred feet proved to be the richest part of the entire mine ; four years after the swap, it market value (including its mill), was $1,500,000. I was down in it about that lime, GOO feet under the ground, and about half of it caved in ovcr my head and yet, valuable as that property was, I would have giveen the entire mine to have been out of that. I do not wish to brag but I can be lib eral if you take me right. An individual whu owned 20 feet in the Ophir mine before its great riches were revealed to men, traded it for a horse, and a very sorry looking brute he was too. A year or so afterward, when Ophir stock went up to $3,000 a foot, this man, who hadn't a cent, usod to say he was the most startling example of magnificence and misery the world had ever seen be cause he was able to ride a G0,000-dol!ar horse and yet had to ride him bareback' because he couldn't scare up cash enough to buy a sadlle. He said if fortune were tt give him another 00,000 dollar horse it would ruin him. The shiftless people I have been talking about havo settled sedimentally down to their proper place on the bottom, but the solid mining prospeiity of California' and Nevada continues the two together pro ducing some $10,000,000 annually in gold and silver. White Fine is giving birth to tho usual number cf euddenly- created nabob?, but three years hence neatly every one of them will be scratch ing for wagea Hgnin. . Petroleum bred a few of these butterflies for the eastern market. They don't live long in Novaua I was worth half a million dollars myself, once, for ten days and now I'm prowl ing around the lecture field and the fi.dd of journalism instructing the public for a subsistence. I was just as happy as the other butteifhes, and no wiser except that I am sincerely glad that my super natural stupidity lost ine my great wind fall before it had a chance to make a more inspired as of iiij than I was before. I ara satisfied that I do not .know.enotrh to be wealthy and live to survive it.- I had two partners in this brilliant stroke of fortune. The sensible one is still worth a hundred thousand dollars or so he never lost his wits but the ether one (and by far the besf ami ' worthier 9 of our trio), can't pay his board. I was personally acquainted, with , the several nabobs" mentioned in this letter, and so, for old acquaintance sake, I have swapped their occupations and experiences around in such a way ns'to keep the Pacific public from recognizing these no torious men. I have no desire to drag them out cf their retirement and-make them uncomfortable by exhibiting them without mask or disguise I merely wish to use their fortunes and misfortunes for a moment for thq adornment of this ' news paper article. " - ' Singula u Dotage. One of the most singular cases of dotage we have ever heard of catne to our notice a few days ago. An old lady in her eighty-fourth year, residing at the southern extremity of o:e of our principal streets, named De borah llranf, has for a lung time attracted tiie attention of her neighbors and imme diate relatives by her singular conduct. It appears that Miss 1. received a very pood education, s considered iu her youth, and at the age or thirty having no means of support, opened a school in the southern portion of this county. She would lakvs only eighteen pupils ; though notnerou applications were made for r.dmissi-e.ri, none succeeded. If any vacancies occur red, the took tm the replications in "order of the date, and "admitted ;i number enili ci'nt to make the luagic eighteen. She would have her school open but eighteen days in a mouth, aiji tha school year di vided into two term 3 of eighteen weeks each. Siii charged eighteen cents a week for tuition for smaller pirpds, nnd twice eighteen for older and more advanced ones In health she would work eighteen hours a day, devoting the remaining six to .-le.'p. . She led this peculiar and sedentary life for malty years, with long vacation peri ods. In 1SL9, Laving received a legacy from an only relative, she came to Col umbia and Las since then led a q liet, si eluded life, refusing to sea 'strangers, and seldom if ever allowing those around her to converse with her. On e;:ch returning eighteenth birthday, she shows unusual depression of spirits, and during the day Will not speak a word. On the eighteenth of each month, the reticence and depres sions are more noticeable than at any other times. She keeps her own secrets, something which young ladies find it hard to do, and very little is known to assign for her sin gular conduct. In other respects she re tains her faculties to a remarkable degree. The theory with the most knowing and speculative ones is that Miss 1 was made the victim of misplaced confidence in early youth, culminating, nr doubt in terrible reality on or about her eighteenth birth day. She speaks of no one in unkind tones. The future mav develop more of her singular history. Columbia (l'a.) jy. A Gooij Oxk. A pretty rich occur rence came oil" at Sandyviiie, Ohio, the other day. Mr. McFarland, the landli r 1, nnd also a farmer, took a lot of sheep from Colonel Ulnck to keep for him. The bargain was that if any of the shevp dted'McFarland whs tt pelt or wool them, which means that he was to take the hides oil or pull the wool, as he thought proper. A stormy night came and three of the sheep died. McFarlaiul had a chunk of a boy in his employ who was not up to sheep talk, and he ordered the toy to go and pelt the sheep. lie came back in a couple of hour?, and McFarland asked him how he had got on, to which he demurely replied: "Oh, middling; I got the most of them pelted, but there were lluei I could not catch." McFarland went to the sheep pasture and discover ed the boy had "pelted" nineteen of the sheep to death, and pretty thoroughly run down the three wild ones. A lazy mendicant applied to Horace Greedy for a letter recommending him as a proper subject for charity. The beggar did a thriving business for about two months, as the philanthropists to whom he showed it could decipher only the well known signature; but that they deemed a sufficient endorsement. At last a printer, familiar with Mr. Grcely's manuscript, was called on for aid ; and he astonished the beggar by informing him that Mr. Greedy had played a joko upon him, and had given him a note statin, "The bearer is suffering from chronic laziness, and should be compelled to saw wood by every person anxious to protect the public against iropestets.' : UIKA31 o im:i r'M wooix, Love, Ccurlship, Swit!
