And yet such seems to I have beenthe fact, and in the San Fran- disco Chronicle we base the whole of the wonderful story. The writer tells ne that fifteen years ago, in a little great valley on the banks of the . Upper Siteranieu to, there dwelt a tezmatust of the once powcrfttl tribe of Tasehastas. But little is kuown of the hiitory of the tribe, ezeept that they were far abuse the average of the California In -1 dian in all that invests the aboriginal "fitharnater with sentiment and romance.— They ware OW, fierce, and exceedingly warlike, and for years had held in undis puted possession the region overlooked by theninuw.eapped dome of Mount Shasta. The memory of this tribe has been im mortultzed by a wierd, romantic poem from the pea of Oregon's long-haired Tel:lnner—Joaquin Miller—who, in youth, spent nearly a year in their company, re siding pt, Hie wigwam of. their, hief, and Willing and hunting with the young war- Thlit romantic iuoident in the life of the, Sierra songster is 'not generally ;. but when the rect.' are fully re corfie,d.his admirers •3111 be at no loss to Recount for the inspiration which guided his _pen. through the mazes of poetic Ishooed, and mournful fancy which gave birth to "The Last or the Tasehataa." =EC= pry's FIRST tom Hero it nos that Miller first felt the awakeoing of the tender passion, and , here it was that-he first aroused into be ingthalore of one who clang to him eiin'unto - dosth.

THE INDIV; MAIDEN' She was the daughter of the old chief lif the tribe, yonng4-uot ov,r eighteen-- anti us beautiful as an augers dream. M 1 • ler, in hie poem, draws she following pic ture of her: " Hard by stood the irar chiefs daughter Taller thsn the tasselled cora, Sweeter than the kiss of mor"iog, Sall as some sweet star of mom, Half defiant, half Ibrtorn. Robed in skins of striped panther, Lifting loosely to the ,tr, With a fleeting shade of sorrow, And black eym thgt said, bowfin)! Nestled in a storm' of hair.

Not within the massive stone walls of a cathedral, with a gorgeously suprilieed priest to mumble over the few formal words which society has set up as a mond safeguard, but beneath the biroad brunches of a mighty oak. with no eye save that of the Great Spirit upon them, nor any voices save those of the chirping beedle and the silver toned bird to bless their union.— Miller in later years has told us this &tout the bridal guests and the wedding festivi ties: ' The bind %rem brown and the heavens were blue, A woodpecker pounded a pine top shell.

Fur the nest month there was but one heaven for Joaquin Miller, and that was inside of the old chiet's wigwam. The frost came and the young warriors made up hunting parties to go off and secure the winter's supply of provisions; but Miller refused on all occasions, to accom pany them. Ile sat for hours at a time gamy , ' into the liquid depths of his dusky partne?s glay eyes and had no joy. no barrinees, save When , in • her presence.— The Old chief soon became .aware of the turn in his domestic affairs, but , he seem ed toiriew the matter witlra very philask. olibietikezow.

' - THE 11EILIDIAN Their love had crossed the; pi * eridian of huppiness, and the young cpupie had begun to look each upon the, other as a matter of course.

The wife saw all this, but in her innocence saw nothing to give her alarm. ,13esides, she already felt something which,,wlieu told her 'lord, she .knea/ would fill his very soul with joy, and draw him closer to tier. TuS MILD OF A POET'S /AWE. One night the:re was a great commo tion in the wigwam. The old chief and the long haired poet were both hustled out iu the midnight air and left to shiver in the gloom of early more. Troops of Indian woolen, " Wrinkled and brown .14 baga of leather." horridly passed in and as hurriedly pass ed cut again. Au x;ons looks and hurried whispers passed between them, and rays tenons ceremonies seemed to'be going on within the sacred portals. As the sun liftsxl its golden halo above the snow breasted cliff of the . Sierras, a plaintiN e wail grated curiously; nay, perhaps a little upon the eager ear of the pale faced listener without. another hour an old woman appeared in the door way and beckoned to Miller that ho might enter. He went in and anxiously up pro:lobed the low bed where iav enwrap ped in a fancifully wrought blanket the little pink faced, black eyed token of hia early passion. TLB SEPAILITIOE Aud now Joaquin became fetal more desirous of putting An end to the romance of the past year and return once inure to the scenes of his former life. He 46 - as a restless, ro ring,,, diss4tistied: disposition, and the sentiment of bin passion gone, it could no longer brook a hum-drum ex• istence in the wild borne or the forest. " llu was an uncommon mould of mind, But mule for action, ill or good Cut In anotherland and. wank B. reckless, restless will had been A - curie or blessing to his kind." One day he quietly went up to his dos• ky mate and told her he was going nn a visit to his friends in Siskiyou. - Tears stood in har great dark eves, as the an nouncement fell upon her ears, for some thing within her seemed to say, •• So here my lust day Lets Its close And hear it ends." She gazed deep and earnestly into the deep blue eyes before her, but could get no cainfort from them, for they were as mid as stone, and as unimpassioned as the rocky crags behind her wigwam', So, with a mute appeal for mercy, she threw her arms wildly around him sobbed as if her heart would break. But it made no dif ference, Miller was determined to go, and kissing her brow, he gently put her away from him. and giving only one look at his dusky daughter, strode out into the sun light, and wended his way towards the orth. RETRIBUTION That so far as is known, was the last that Joaquin Miller ever saw of his tawny. f 'rest bride. Years passed by. He met, wedded and deserted the lady whose letter ire recital of her wrongs has made her as famous in literature as the !wet himself; hut he never agate acknowledged the In dian woman, who, out of the depth of her. great love, had born him a child. Not a great while ago that little child l born in the forest gloom, came into his possessior. How, exactly, when or where, does not I appear, but it is living and calls Joaquin Miller "father." She is now fifteen years old and is living in San Francisco. sup ; ported from the poet's parse. She is de serihed as strikingly beautiful.. She has her mother's deep dark eyes, and wealth of raven hair and her father's clear, Can casian skin. tier neighbors calls her the beautiful Spanish girl, for they know cot her romantic history; but to her own im• I mediate friends she is known as the poet's gifted child. It is but just to Miller to say that he is exceedingly fond of her,and ' does_ everything in his power to make her comfortable laid happy. He has provided , for her education, and she already shows traces of that piniva which has made her father famous, and herself proud and happy to be called his, though the child , of love only. TIIE LAST TASCTIASTAS Of her mother nothing is known. The child herself has hut little recollection of her, and says the only picture she can re of her early years is the memory of a sad, sad fat.-e, and a weary, desolate - home in a hut on the hanks of the Sacramento. " Wrinkled and brown as a bag of leather, A squaw sits nraaing long and low, Yesterda)• she was a wile and mother, To-day she rocked her to and fro, A desolate widow in weeds and woe.'

"Law .how it .lioe.k show ; don't you remember, Mr. Louis, last"—but, instead of Swishing her sen tence, the poor soul coughed, got led, and suddenly found something to do in the kitchen. Didn't I remember it.? Would, I ever forget it? Would thiasnawing, cruel re gret ever be stilled ? lett the hardly tasted meal and went Into my lonely, si lent parlor. Lonely and silent, indeed.— Peopled only by phantoms of long past joys. Vocal only with voices whose ma sic fell no longer on my listening ear.— There was the chair she sat in. There the Grand Piano I had given her on ber birthday. There so many things that, spoke of her, and she gone: j Why didn't I stay in Europe ? did I come home—where everything cries out fer her, even as my heart cries ont for I her. I could not e'ntent myself here.— Oh for one touch of her hands. My wife, niy Amy, why did you leave we? I sat down at heat, and thought over the past year. One year—only one year ago—we were married. One year ago to— night, and for three months after that had been happy. Then Caine a cloud over the heaven of bliss. But it soon passed away, and we were hapiaer than ever.— Then we cmarreleci. About a trine, too. From that we went on from bad CO worse; and finally—God help us—we parted.— She went to her parents and I went to Europe, and there I had been fur the past seven or eight months. From the night she went out that dour to this I never heard oi.e word from her. I know she is living; T know she is well—and that is all. A kind friend has kept me informed as far as that. Whether she has learned to hate me; whether there is one spark of the old lece for me in her heart. I du not know. I only know I love her yet. I only know I snu,.l seo her, and settle thie thing once and forever. Seizing my hat, I was just ready to rush into the street, when the door bell rang furiously. I went to the door and opened it. As I did so, the snow whirled into my face in such a cloud that I could scarcely see the burly form of a man with a Isrge carefully covered basket on his arm. "Mr. Belmont ?" he inquired, and on my answering in the aftirmative,he cuter ed the bail, and carefully depositing the basket on the floor went quickly out. I merely stared at him without speaking. As ho disappeared in the storm, I closed the dour, and turned my gaze on the basket. "It's fur Mrs. Markham, I sup pose," I mattered. "\o one knows that I have returned, and if they , lid, no one would be likely to send me anything. At any rate, not such a balky present. 41.nt then, he said Mr. Belmont. But what fully, standing here, speculating on the basket, when a glance will assure me of ist contents." I lifted the basket and car ried it into the parlor. I bud not forgot ten my purpose, but a queer feeling came over me. I felt as if that basket had some thing to do with it. May be it came from her! May be she had sent it to me—but what could she send me in such an ins meuse bulk ? " What a fool I am!" I ex claimed aloud, after all these thoughts had rush pell-mell through my brain,and raising the outside cover which looked like a many folded sheet, I came to a lit tie white basket, and raiding that I sawea baby fast asleep. A baby ! and the preti est little rosebud of a baby I ever saw. I 1 sonkin't speak, I could only look. I I seemed in a maze. I did not know wheth er I was asleep or awake. I did not know how long I stood there—it may have been fire or ten minutes—it stemen as though I had never done anything else but stand and look tit.tbat bady, when suddenly it opened its eyes. They looked straight in to mine, and they were Amy's eyes! Yes, it is—it must be Amy's chilil,ard—and— " Yours whispered a soft voice in my ear, and turning quickly, I clasped to my wildly throbbing heart my wife, who had come bark to me. She had never ceased to love me, ehe said. She had soon repented of her rash ness, and then—"theu the ocean rolled between its," she sobbed. "Then I thought you loved me no longer, and I hid m,y grief and tried to forget you; but I couldn t and then. when I knew I was to be a mother, I wrote to you, begging you to forgive me and come home. You never answered my letter, and then I thought Pd wait. And where do you think I liv ed ? ; not with mother, but here where I ought to live. I came back the week after you left. Yes; I was here when you came, anti hid myself and baby my precious Louis—yes, its a boy—and I had the plan all arranged to surprise you. For the last six weeks I've been half wild. No one told me you were coming, but I knew it ; and it seemed as if I was sure you would come before New Year;, and oh, I have prayed sa, for you and for my self. lam trying to be good, and if you will forgive me and love me again, I'll never, never leave you, WI death shalt separate us." I kissed the lips that thus uttered anew love's holy vow, and tram the innermost depths of my heart it was echoed and con firmed. Many changing years have passed since then. My wife's dark hair has many a silver thread. I, too, am nearing the au tumn of life. Sorrow and joys have both, been ours. Other children besides my "New Year's Gift" make merry riot in our home. Yes, since the night that saw us reunited, no voice of discord has ever been heard between ns.

Every bony who has long stabding accounts to settle the first of - the year, remembers but too well the presaurout that period, when bills and claim s and payments of, various kinds never fail to present themselves in long array—all of which have' tn'be sent or arranged, pfld, or put off according to the ability or disposition of the debtor. Many an aching heart at that time beat under the oefward'appearance of enjoY. ment, while the phantoms of unpaid bills loomed through 01- the money making and 'seasoned with bitterness the most delicate morseL No right minded i/man will remain a moment longer in debt:than belutS means to pay. There is nothing that makes a man,if ho has moral feeling, more contemptibTeln ilia own eyes than owing money, when he-cannot pay it lie feels that he is hi a false position ; that instead-of reeking, with the respectable portion of society he ought to take .his position with the meanest classes, for he is walking about under false colors in other people's clothes, fecdipg surrepti tiously from other people's tables!, hying in house‘lcalgiug, and using furniture. that.clo not belong to him, and that if. he Were - faaict like - iin honest man and pay for what he -has, he must dress leSa,. eat plainer food, and dwell in beck streete ;he would then be a - far snore respeatableMan than the-scamp who wilfully incurs debts -which at the time he knows he cannot pay. Many an honest man is brought in to uutold embarrassmentskby an .extriva gant and thoughtless family, and by the; pernicious system of long credit given:by retail merchants. It is absurd for retail- ere to open accounts with Customers at - it larger credit than. they can. - abtriin then- I selves. Yet this is done in this tountry toe frightful extent,. and it accounts more readily than anything else will do, for the, perpetual state of embarrament in small traders are involved. They give too much and too long credit -and they in many cases induce wives and daughters to' run up bills that would not have been thought of, but for the bland tones of toe' merchants, assuring them that "it. will I be all right, pay , at your convenieuce,l etc." \q'e have - known instances - where goods have been ordered to.be sent home' with the bill, to be paid for on their de. livery at the house, and. they hare been left without the carrier waiting to receive the money; and a method need.to induce the customer to open an account That many a woman has involved herself in trouble and her husband in debt, for so licitation of the dealers to "get whatever she wants and not trouble herself about settling at preterit," this is a fact, Bailin nine cases out of ten where this class of merchants lose by the wives and daugh ters, they are themselves to blame, having . urged them on .to run up the bills far be yond the-ability of their fathers and has- Leads to pay.• An 4ccount once opened is not likely to lie saon. closed ;it i easy teefind an immediate want for a thousand things that would net suggests themselves if the money had to he paid at the pur chasing ; raid thus the eccouut swells in to a sum of such magi:Wale' that. when the bill is rresented, at the end of Six months or a year, the family stand aghast at the enorniinity of the ,figures.
