Written for the Columbia spy,
After Death.
BY I. WM. VAN NAMEE.
When we have laid aside
The burdens of this life,
And crossed the stream of death,
With many dangers rife.
When we have bid adieu
To charming scenes of earth,
Its cares' and toils, and pains,
Its reveling and mi-th,
'When we stand up before
The judg-s of all above,
Oh, shall we know up there
The ones we here have loved.
Shall wo in chimes alpha
Clasp hands in friendship true,
With those who've made life's sky
Seem hung with softest blue?
Shall heart beat close to heart.
Shall lips to lips be pressed,
As they have often been
When here below caressed ?
Oh, angel friend above,
Come whisper now to me,
When I am done with life
Shall I tvisin know thee?

March 30th, 1866. j
FRIEND RAMBO : Ns I expected
from engagements I started fur Austin
and me voice sun! et saine. Austin is
located some two hundred miles from
Virginia City, the road from thence par
takes very little of the monotonous moun
tains, gulfs and detours invariably pre
senting themselves on the trip from
Dutch Flat to Virginia City over the
Sierras. Fortunately fur my bones, it
was the kind of a level strip that suited
me, passing over smooth undulation of
wide rolling pampas and sage obrush
deserts covered everywhere with aikalic
salts so white and well fittingly adjusted
is this bridal garment thrown over this
form of,Muther Rrth, that one would
think stern old Boreas in league with
the Storm King had fur once studied the
.esthetics of fashion, and become dress
maker in ordinary to the barren moor
land, by decking it out in a garb of 3110 -
-flakes.
Wiseacres and d—n fools perplex
themselves with -knowing looks andeuta,
berson theories, primed with, setenifie
terms in explaining the origin of these
salts. The big theory of all, always in
voked as terrible as the deluge and as
absolute as the ocean is, that they have
their origin in marine deposits left there
since the days of Gog and )lagogy,when
the whole universe was submerged.
The rainbow had - been given out to pious
artesian contractors in the Olympic work
shops, close by where one eyed Cyclops
tbrged thunderbolts and chisel and file
thin fantastic streaks of zig-zag lightning.
I say the rainb nv was well nigh cow
pleted. Appollo, the quondam boss ,
painter before St. Luke eased him of!
his pallet was putting the last, seventh
color to heaven's flag of truce, the waters
were subsiding slowly like the ebb on
the beach ; first the pinnacle of Ararat
stuck its head above the wave like a
diver despaired of. Continents when
their time come "followed suit," and!

No doubt, if he had given Noah a froe
pass over his road for his oxen and asses,
men and Inlaid servants and general
freight, Noah wouldn't have charged
him more than Steam Navigation prices
for a steerage berth. But he didn't do
this, and to make matters worse, there
was no opposition line. Nines were
cheap then, quartz cropped out in bar
baric 'nuggets and placer diggings paid
fifty dollars to the pan. This must have
been, for the deluge was the first and
best attempt at hydrauliz
The sea was "played out" for troubled,
vexed and swollen, it returned to its
old haunts and normal limits, something

was still there though the waters had

very attentive and gen tlemanlike to leave
his card after him. Geologists, minerol
ogists, metallurgists and assayers are
now fighting over this ; it• appears they
don't compreheud his handwriting—the
ink was pale perhaps—something of that
sort. In other words they've got Nep
tune's card but can't make oat his ad

This country is pestilent wi h Dutch
men, and every mother's son of them is
a professor of Chemistry (soi aisant.)—
Their noses and beer mugs, their pipes
and spectacles are into ibis mess. They
can't accord with any opinion not en
tirely Teutonic. It's surprising how
rational two or three well-digested salt
sprinkled, snake-twisted pretzels make
these fellows talk .on nitrous salts.)—
Neither can they agree among them
selves, for I heard Prof. Ausgenspilt,
that animated beer barrel, when waxing
warm with internal firmentation and an-
Igry dispute suddenly tit 'round his spig
ot, open his mouth, and tell Prof. Tang
tyunichts that by "donnerzcetter and
hinzmelskrezcz" he would kick his—
into a resemblance of its nutritive com
position (krout of course was meant) or
go to —"fight mit Gen. Seigle.
Prof. T. retorted, Prof. A. recrimina
ted, swearing like a whole army in Flan
ders, but characteristic phlegm finally
reasserted its sway and one country, one
flag but two glasses of lager,while neither
make fast friends nor bitter eneinies,seen
restored composure, but in whose muddy
glasses, as I peered down, I imagined
the theory, the salts and entente cordiale
were still " held in solution." I wish it
were a feature of idealism fur these fel
lows so exclusive in assrciatton, habits
and dicta to feast on each other ; for
landsman to devour landsman till the
whole race and stock were entirely ex
tinct. The last surviving Dutchman
would be the first and only one of his
kind I ever respected. He wouLI be in
my estimation, the best cannibal and no
blest Roman of them all. I hate and des

for salt and Dutchmen—an excellent
pickle surely,not quite so savory,l think
as Hessian sauce which Washington bot
tled at Trenton. I told you squarely my
opinion of Virginia City, that it was
••played out" and aw.iting death at the
hands of the stock-br ikers in San Fran
cisco. ' This place was discovered, or
rather the mines were discovered. when
Virginia commenced to Waue. That it
it has resi»nded to the expectations of
every body intereqed is far from the fact.
_That a few have made fortunes is unde
niable, that others stand a good show to
do the same when the Silver Hines have
been developed I think is a reasonable
hope. But more capital, more machin
ery and unceasing and extensive pros
pecting are required to make it profita
ble. The stuff and rock, is here, silver
bricks bright and pure enough to pave
the streets of the celestial Jerusalem it
self are here, and Austin, to my mind
will excel Virginia in paying ‘• d.vys."
In her sage brush barrens, remote from
civilization and its comforts nearer to
Salt Lake than San Francisco, deprived
of every agricultural advantage and with
no water privileges whatever she to day
rivals Virginia City. Three years ago
two men, and two pair of blankets, two
picks and shovels and a bottle of quick
silver startod this town ; to day she has
three thousand inhabitants, ten mills in
operation working one huudred and
sixty stamps and more in course of erec
tion. A severe winter, precluding en
tirely the possibility of constant employ
. went for hands, or opportunities for pros
pecting renders the place apparently
dull but the confidence is here rooted and
grounded in that hopeful tenacity which
iu this country works wonders and never
abandons the vessel When Spring
opens everybody is to be rich and as a
consequence every body will go home
