Let me tell yon sutnelaing about one of the school teachers ef 811 Francisco, by way of illustrating tbe manner In which fortune frolics with human nature and makes shuttlecocks of poor humanity. Anion the tnuchers is an elderly lady the mother of live interesting children. She was born in one of the Western States, and was the first-born ol one of the most diatinguis!id Senators who ever sat in legislative balls of the United States oae who for mure than thirty years repre sented one of tbe great States of the mighty West, and wbo was the peer or Clay, tal boun and Webster. In ber yonng days she was tbe belle ot Washington city, carrying away the pnlm from tbe dark-eyed daugh ters of tlio South, and the rosy-cheeked damsels of the North. All were anxious to receive a smile from the fair lilly of tbe west. Noble men rep resenting tbeir country at Washington laid their eornels at ber feet in vain. She was a true republican; and gave ber love to a young gentleman then a eleik in one of tho offices at Washington. Her father kucw the youth and recognized bis great abilities, and when he solicited his daugh ter's hand it was cheerfully given. Tho wedding was a brilliant one, 'many of tbe great men of tbe country being present to wish them joy and cheer them at the com mencement of their domestic vnugc. The young husband was shortly after- wards admitted to the bur ol the. Lnlteil States Supreme Court, and was soon recog nized ns one of the most promisinirmember. For a number of years he practiced bis pro fusion with success, and was oil the high road to wealth and fame. Tben came an event In the hia'orv. our country which altered tbe com ho of many. I reler to the discovery ol gold in Cali fornia, aud tbe consequent rush ol emi grants to the new El Dorado. Amoni those who determined upon going to Cali fornia was tl'e young husti.iiid. He con sulted his wife, and sue, like a true woman, declared lor intention to accompany him. He showed ber the hardships that she must necewnrl'y en lure, ant ur ciul ' hi-r to re mit n w.tu her parents until h had a home h.r her, but she, (u the l.uijju.ieo of Ruth, suid : "Kutrnat me not to leavo thee rr t re turn from following uftt-r thee, ,'ur whither thuti loileft I will lodge; thy people shall he my peiile, and tby God my God, where tin. 11 diest I will die, and tin re w'.il I be buried.'' lie urged her no more, but tnj-etlier they eauie to Califernia, where tho hualinnd troll a leuditli: pniilinn at the bar. Tho people he associated with were fi'Mii the h 11 III. anil like many others be began to drink to exres. When the rebellion broke gut ho cast his e j 1 1 1 1 m li : . withflhe Houtb.

Out of biiai ness, be drank heavily and soon be-an to mortgage hi property. Six vears parted awny. and he riled, leaving bis widow with live children without a dollar, fur his credi tors foreclosed oven to the homestead. Tho noble woman immediately look sew ing to earn ber living but found that she could hardly keep soul 11 nil body together by Ibis means. Some friends of ber father and bushand offered to assist ber, but she would receive nothing so long as she could support her self. Sbo, however, would be thankful lor assistaace in procuring ber a position as teacher in one of the public schools. Ap plication was made, and would you ' be lieve itt-r-some of tho school directors op. Kosed her appointment heea se- her dead usband had been a secessionist. They cared not -that ber father was the peer of uiay ana v ouster, that tier iirother-in-iaw wore t e straps id a Major General. . They knew ber bushand in his lilelime, and had felt the lah ol hisjliitier tongue, and there fore desired to bar n bis widow. - Tbeir efforts were unavailing, however. Sbe was appointed and is now engaged in the public school department of this city, teaching a primary cleti. A sad change 'ia the fortunes of one wbo started iifo with such brilliant pinsi ecta. Sbe is a -true and noble woman, however, and every ono who reads this paragraph will praise her for her heroism and devotion. - Kit a Fisbbr.
