Lay the gem upon my bosom, Let me teel her.sweet, warm breath, For a strange chill o’er me passes, And I ‘know that it is death. £ would gaze upon the treasure— Scarcely given ere I go, Feel her roay, dimpled fingers Wander o’er my cheek of snow. I am passifig through the waters, Bat a blesshd shore appears, Kneel beside me, hasband, dearest! Let me kiss away thy tears ; Wrestle with thy grief, my husband, Strive from midnight until day, It may have an angel’s blessing, When it vanishes away. Lay the gem upon my bosom, ’Tis not long she can be there; See! how to my heart she nestles, ’Tis the pearl I love to wear. If, in after years, beside thee Sits anotber tn my chair, Though her voice be.sweeter music, And her face tha mine more fair— If a ohernb calls thee “father,” Far more beautiful than this, Love thy first born ; 0. my husband ! Turn not from the motherless. Tell her sometimes of her mother, You will oali her by my name ? Shield her from the winds of sorrow ; If she err, oh ! gently blame. Lead her sometimes where I’m Bleeping, I will answer if she calls, And my breath will stir her ringlets When my voioo in blessing falls, And her soft black eyes will brighten With wonder whence it oame ; In my heart, when years pass o’er her, She will find her mother’s name. It is said that every mortal Walks between two angels here; One records the ill, but blots it, If before the midnight drear Man xepenteth; if uncancelled, Then be seals it for the skies, And the right hand angel weepeth, Bending low with veiled eyes. I will be her right hand angel, Sealing up the good for Heaven, Striving that the midnight watches Find no misdeeds unforgiven. You will not forget me, husband, When I’m sleeping ’neath the sod ! Oh, love the jewel given us, As I love thee—next to liod ! From the San Francisco (Cal.) Golden Bra. THE OUP CARTIWAN. BY BLUNDERBUSS, I have a mind to tell a little story.— That it is brief, may be seen at a glance ; 1 that it is true, I most emphatically avow, j If the reader despise it because of the first, or the editors of the Era reject it for the reason of the last, then will I eschew truth 1 in the future, and devote myself to the elaboration of lies into chapters, and the 1 purest fictions into volumes of seventeen ] hundred pages each. With this understanding, I proceed at pnce to remark, that five years ago, or thereabouts, John Ainsley—or ‘ Pap Ains ley,’ as he was familiarly called—was the owner of a handcart, and earned a living : by conveying miscellaneous parcels from one seotion of the oity to another, and re ceiving therefor the reasonable remunera tion of fifty cents per load. To designate the occupation in the prosiest language possible, he was a hand-cartman, and when not employed, could always be found during working hours at the corner of Montgomery and California streets. His hair and long beard were quite gray and his limbs feeble; and if he could not shove as heavy a load through the deep sand or up the steep grade above him as the stal- • wart Teuton on the opposite oorner, there by losing many a job and many a dollar, all the light loads in the neighborhood fell to his lot, and kind-hearted men hot un freqnently traveled a square or two out of their way to give an easy job to ‘ Pap Ainsley,’ Four years ago last September, (I recol lect the month, for I had a note of four thousand dollars to pay, and was compelled to do some pretty sharp financiering to meet i|,) having two or three dozen vol umes of books to transfer to my lodging, I gave ‘ Pap Ainsley ’ the task of transpor tation. Arriving at my room just as he had deposited the last armful on the table, and observing that the old man looked considerably fatigued after climbing three flights of stairs five or six times, I invited him to take a glass of brandy—a bottle of which I usually kept in my room, for medi oinal, and soporific purposes. Although grateful for the invitation, he politely de clined. I urged, but he was inflexible. I was astonished. ‘Do you never drink V said I. ‘ Very seldom,’ he replied, drop ping ipto a chair, at my request, and wiping the perspiration from his forehead. ‘Well, if you drink at all,’ I insisted, ‘you will not find in the next twelve month as fair an excuse for indulging, for you ap pear fatigued and scarcely able to stand.’ ‘ To be frank,’ said the old man, ‘ I do not drink now. I have not tasted intoxica ting liquor for fifteen years—since ’ ‘ Since when V I inquired, thoughtlessly, observing his hesitation. The old man told me. Sixteen years ago he was a well-to-do farmer near Syra cuse, New York. He had but one child— a daughter. While attending a boarding school in that city, the girl, then but six teen years of age, formed an attachment for a young physician. Acquainting her father with the circumstance, he flatly re fused his consent to her union with a man be had paver seen, and removing her from school, dispatched a note to the young gal lant, with the somewhat pointed informa tion, that his presence in the neighborhood : of the Ainsley farm would not meet with ' favor. The reader of course surmises the : result, for such a proceeding could and can | have'but one result. In less than a month ! there was an elopement. The father load- : ed his double-barrelled shot-gun, and 1 swore vengeance, but failing to find the 1 fugitives, he took to the pottle. His good wife implored him not to give way to des- ■ pair, but he drank the deeper, and accused her of encouraging the elopement. In three months the wife died, and at the expiration of a year, when the young couple returned : to Syracuse from Connecticut, where they had-remained with the parents of the 1 husband, they learned that the old man, after the death.of his wife, of which they (had of oourse apprised, had sold his ? farm, squandered the proceeds, and was! almost destitute. Learning of their arrival j ■Ainsiey irank himshlf into a freifzyj arid proceeding, to theJrotel where they were ; stoppings attacked ilhe, husband, WQundiug him in the snn with a pistol shot, and then attempted the life of his daughter, who, happily, escaped uninjured through the in terposition of persons bronght r -to the spot by the report of the pistol. Ainsley was arrested, tried and acquitted on the plea of insanity. The daughter and her hus band returned to Connecticut, since which time the father had not heard from- them. He was sent to a lunatic asylum, from which he was dismissed after remaining six months. In 1851 he came to Califor nia. He had followed mining for two years, but finding his strength unequal to the pursuit, returned to this city, purchased a hand-oart, and the rest is known.— ‘ Since then,’ concluded the old man, bow ing his face in his hands in agony, ‘ I have not tasted liquor, nor have I seen my poor child.’ I regretted that I had been so in quisitive, and expressed to the sufferer the sympathy I really felt for him. After that, I seldom passed the corner without look ing for ‘ Pap Ainsley,’ and never saw him but to think of the sad story he had told me. One chilly, drizzling day in the Decem ber following, a gentleman having? pur chased a small marble-top table at an auc tion room opposite, proffered to the old man the job of conveying it to his resi dence on Stockton street. Not wishing to accompany the carrier, he had selected the face, probably, giving the best assurance of the careful delivery of the purchase. Furnished with the number of the house, the old cartman, after a pretty trying struggle with the steep ascent of Califor nia street, reached his destination, and deposited the table in the hall. Lingering a moment, the lady did not seem to sur mise the reason, until be politely informed her that her husband (for such he took him to be) had probably by acoident neglected to settle for the cartage. ‘Very well; I will pay you,’ said the lady stepping into an adjoining room. She returned, and stating that she had no small coin in the house, handed the old man a twenty dollar pieoe. He could not make the ohange. ‘ Never mind—l will call to-morrow,’ said he turning to go.— ‘ No, no !’ replied the lady, glancing pity ingly at his white locks and trembling limbs; ‘ I will not permit you to put yourself to so much trouble;’ and she handed the coin to Bridget, with instruc tions to see if she could get it ohanged at one of the stores or markets in the neigh borhood. ‘ Step into the parlor until the girl returns ; the air is chilly, and you must be cold,’ continued the lady, kindly, ‘ Come, she added, as he looked at his rough attire and hesitated; ‘ there is a good fire in the grate, and no one there but the children.’ 1 It is somewhat chilly,’ replied the old man, following her' into the parlor, and taking a seat near the fire. ‘ Perhaps 1 may find some silver in the house,’ said the lady, leaving the room, ‘ for X fear Bridget will not succeed in getting the twenty changed.’ ‘ Come here, little one,’ said the old man, holding out his hands coaxingly to the younger of the two children—a girl about six years of age. 1 Come—l love little children,’ and the child, who had been watching him with curiosity from behind the large arm-chair, hesitatingly approached. ‘ What is your name, dear ?’ inquired the cartman. ‘ Maria,’ lisped the little one, ‘Maria?’he repeated, while the great tears gathered in his eyes ; ‘I once had a little girl named Maria, and yon look very much as she did.’ ‘ Did you ?’ inquired the child, with interest; 1 and was her name Maria Eaßtman, too ?’ ‘ Meroiful God!’ exclaimed the old man, .starting from his chair, and again dropping into it with his head bowed upon his breast. ‘ This* cannot be ! and yet, why not V He caught the child in his arms with an eagerness that frightened her, and gazing into her face until he found oonviotion there, suddenly rose to leave the house. ‘ I oannot meet her without betraying myself, and I dare not tell her I am that drunken father who onoe attempted to take her life, and perhaps left her husband a oripple,’ he groaned, as he hurried towards the door. The little ones, were bewildered. ‘ You are not going ?’ said the mother, at that moment re-appearing, and discovering the old man in the act of passing into the hall. He stopped, and partly turned his face, bnt seemed to laok the resolution to do aught else. ‘He said he had a little Maria once, that looked just like me, mother,’ shouted the ohild, her eyes sparkling with delight; The knees of the old cartman trembled, and he leaned againet the door for support. The lady sprang towards him, and taking him by the arm, attempted to conduct him to a chair. ‘ No, no !’ he exclaimed, ‘ not till you tell me I am forgiven !■’ ‘ Forgiven ?—For what ?’ replied the 'mother, in alarm. ‘ Recognize in me your wretched father, and I need not tell you !’ he faltered. ‘My poor father.” she cried, throwing her arriis around his neok ; ‘ all is forgiven —all forgotten All was forgiven, and the husband, when he returned late in the afternoon, was scarcely less rejoiced than his good wife at the discovery. Whether or not Bridget succeeded in changing the double eagle, 1 neyer learned; but this I do know—it took the honest female all of two months to unravel the knot into whioh the domestio affairs of the family had tied themselves during her absenoe. Pap, Ainsley still keeps his cart; for money would not induce him to part with it. I peeped into the back-yard of Dr. East man, one day, last week, and discovered the old man dragging the favorite vehiole round the inelosure, with his four grand ohildren piled promiscuously into it.

THE WYOMING. After the battle and massacre, most of the settlers fled. - But here and there a few stragglers returned from the wilder ness, and in the course of three •or four months, other cabins were going up over the ashes of their former houses, and quite a little neighborhood was collected. But the Indians.kept prowling around the mountains, now descending here and now there, killing this family, scalping that, or making it captive. At a little distance from the present Court House of Wilkes barre, lived a family of the name of Slocum, upon whom the visitations of the Indians’ cruelty were awfully severe. The men were one day away in the fields, and in an-instant the house was surrounded by Indians. There were in it the mother, a daughter about nine years of age, a son aged thirteen, another five, aqd a little boy aged two and a half. A young man and a* boy by the name of Kingsley, were present grinding a knife. The first thing the Indians did was to Bhoot down the young man, and to scalp him with the knife which he had in his hand. The nine yearold sister took the boy aged two and a half years and ran out of the door to get back to the fort. The Indians chased her just enough to see her fright, and to have a hearty laugh as she ran and dung to and lifted her chubby little brother. They then took the young Kingsley boy and young Slocum, aged thirteen, and little Frances, aged five, and prepared to depart. But finding young Slocum lame, at the entrea ties of- the mother they sat him down and left him. Their captives were then young Kingsley and the little girl. The mother’s heart swelled unutterably, and for years oould not describe the scene without tears. She saw an Indian throw her child over his shoulder, and as her hair fell over her faoe, with, one hand she brushed it aside, while the tears ran from her distended eyes, and stretching out her other hand toward her mother, she called for aid. The Indians turned into the bushes, and this was the last seen of little Frances. This image was probably carried by the mpther to the grave. About a month after this they came again, .and with the most awful oruelties murdered the aged grand father, and shot a ball into the leg' of the lame boy. This was carried with him in his leg nearly sixty years, to the grave. The last child was born a few months after these tragedies. What were the conversa tions, what were the hopes concerning the fate of little Frances, I shall not attempt to desoribe. Probably the children saw that in all after life, the heart of the strioken mother was yearning for the little one whose fate was uncertain, and whose face she could never see. As the boys grew up and became "men, they were anxious to know the fate of their little fair-haired sister. They wrote letters, they sent inquiries, they made journeys through all the West and into the Canadas, if peradventure they might learn anything respecting her fate. Four'long journeys had been made in vain. A silenoe deep as the deepest forest through which they had wandered hung over her fate, and that for. sixty years. My reader will now pass over fifty-eight years from the time of this captivity, and suppose himself far in the wilderness, in the farthest part of the unsettled Indiana. A very respeotable agent of the United States is travelling there, and weary and belated, with a tired horse, he stopped at an Indian wigwam for the night. He oan speak the Indian language. The family are rich, for Indians have horses and skins. in abundanoe. In the course of the even ing he notioes that the hair of the woman is light, and the skin under her dress is also white. She told him she was a white child, but had been carried away when a very small girl. She could only remem ber her'name was Slocum, and that she lived in a little house on the bank of the Susquehanna, and how many there were in her father’s family, and the order of their ages. But the name of the town she could not remember. On reaohing his home the agent mentioned this story to his mother ; she urged him to write and print the account. Accordingly he wrote and sent it to Lancaster, in this State, request ing that it might be published. By some, to me unaccountable, blunder, it lay in the office for two years before it was published. In a few days it fell into the hands of Mr. Slooum of Wilkesbarre, who was the little two and a half year old boy when Frances was taken. In a few days he was off .to see his sister, taking with him his oldest sister, —the one who aided him to escape— writing to a brother who now lives in Ohio, and who, I believe, was born after the captivity, to meet him and go with him. The two brothers and sister are now on their way to see little Prances, just sixty years after her captivity. After traveling more than three hundred miles through an unbroken wilderness, they reaoh the Indian country; the home of the Miami Indian. Nine miles from the nearest white habitation, they find the little wigwam. ‘ I shall know my sister,’ said the civilized sister, ‘ because she lost the nail of her first finger. You, brother, hammered it off in the blacksmith shop, when she was four years’ old.’ They go into the cabin and find an Indian woman having the appearance of seventy five. She is jiainted and jeweled off, and dressed like'the Indians in all repeots. Nothing but her hair and covered skin would indicate her origin. They get an interpreter and begin to converse. She tells them where she was born, her name, &0., with the order of her father’s family. ‘ How came your nail gone ?’ said the old est sister. ‘My older brother pounded it off when I was a child, in the shop!’ In a word, they were satisfied that this was Frances, their long lost sister. They asked her what her Christian name was. She could not remember. Was it Frances? She smiled and said ‘ Yes.’ It was the first time she had heard it pronounced for sixty years! - Here then, they were met— two brothers and two sisters. But what a contrast! The brothers were walking the cabin unable to speak; the oldest sister was weeping, bnt the poor Indian sat motionless and passionless as a spectator ; there is no fine ohords in her bosom to be touched. When Mr. Slooum was giving me this history, 1 said to him, ‘ but could she not speak?’ ‘Not a word!’ ‘Didshe know her age?’ ‘No—had no idea of it.’ ‘But was she entirely ignorant?’ .‘ Sir, she didn’t know when Sunday comes!’ This was, indeed, a consummation of ignorance in a desoen'dant.of the Puritans. ■ Whfltapiotureffor a painter would the in- side of that cabin have afforded ? Here were the children of civilization, respectable, temperate, intelligent and wealthy, able to overcome mountains to recover their sister. There was the child of the forest not able to tell the day of the week, whose views and feelings were all confined to her cabin. Her. whole history might be told in a word. She lived with the Dela ware who carried her off, till grown up, and then married a Delawarg, He either died or ran away; -Bhe then married a Miami Indian, a chief I believe. The brothers and sister tried to persuade their lost sister to return with them, and if she desired it, bring her children. They would transplant her again on the banks of the Susquehanna, and their wealth make her home happy. But no. They had al ways been kind to her, and she had prom ised her late husband on his death-bed that she never would leave the Indians. And there they had left her and hers, wild and darkened heathens, though they sprung from a pious race. You can. hardly imagine how muoh this brother is interested for her. He says he intends this Autumn to go again that long journey to see his tawny sister—to carry her some presents, and perhaps petition Congress that.if ever these Miamis are driven off) .there may be a tract of land reserved for bis sister and her descendants. His heart yearns with an indescribable tenderness foi the help less one, who, sixty-one years ago, was torn from the arms of the mother. Mys terious providence! How wonderful the tie which can thus bind a family together with a chain so strong that nothing can break its links! I will only add that nothing haS ever been heard of the boy Kingsley. The probability is that he is not living. This account, hastily and imperfectly given, I had from the lips of Mr. Slooum, the brother, and the same who was two and a half years old when little Frances was car ried away. I believe I have altered nothing, though I have omitted enough to make the good part of an interesting volume. She had two daughters both of whom arc married, and live in the glory of an Indian cabin, skin olothes, and oow-skin head dresses, None of the people can speak a word of English. They have horses in abundance, and when the Indian sister wants to accompany her new rela tives, she whipped out her horse, bridled it, and then, a la Turk, mounted astride and was off. At night she could throw a blanket around her, lie down upon the floor, and at once be asleep. CARDS.
