Patrick 0'Btlen. A TALE OF HUMBLE LIFE. at bt. a. sasTiaes viu. The father of Ellen O'Brien was a small farmer, whose situation when the child 6e gan to think at all, seemed lo her the real nation of all thai is happy, and all that is cheerful in this wurld. Children do think very early ; much earlier than their el ders suspect. But happily for them they are easily contented. They look at the bright side, sod unconscious of the superi or advantages, and the greater comforts of others, have no temptation to discontented comparisons, and no motive for uneasy eovy. Ellen's earliest memory of marked and positive hairiness that is to say, of an incident which conferred particular plea sure, was connected with a child very small child. She remembered how her father told her to " make a lap, now," and placed the wee thing upon the knees which aha prepared with much ado to receive it. She was told that this was her little bro ther, her own little brother ; and she hug ged it in troubled happiness, almost afraid to touch, lest she should hurt it. She gazed upon it with that undefined fleling of mingled awe and pleasure with which little children regard less children. She looked at its frngile hands and wondered, if she took them in hers, whether they would fade or drop to pieces, like the deli cate blossoms which she had often killed with kindness. And when it cried oh ! but she was astonished ! That such a lit tle thing should be so ungrateful while she coddled and cared for it, and nursed it ever so tenderly, was more than she could well endure. She thought it well drscrved.and ought to have a whipping, only that a whipping might hurt it, and that she would not consent to. it was, however, not a great while be fore a safe acquaintance grew up between the new comer and Ellen. He was called Patrick, after his father, and bis father' father be Pure him. Eilen waa three years his senior. That d.flcrence ia their aces - - - n wouia save oeen a wonder ; only ihnt II was explainable. Another little Patrick. his predecessor, was "called home," as his father said, "before he had scarce a taste ot the world at all.'' And Ellen, from ao often hearing of the other little Patrick,ane from her indistinct memory of a baby that ahe saw one day, as if iu a dream, and did not see any more, learned to think of in- - lants as of little ttiines thai would die if loej.wew riot carefully watchrd. 'And ' Petri ke wm resolvid should not sup away lor want of attention from his sister ; therefore she nursed hi.it as care fully as if that had been her sole vocation. The wonder about babies grew less as Ellen grew older. At first, in her child ish little heart, ahe thought every little ba bv must be a little Patrick, and that no new one could come while there was ano ther about. But familiarity destroys mar vela. She found there could be little Phe lima and Terrences as well as Patricks, Bridgets and Kathleens as well as Ellens. Child after child lifted its clamorous voice, for food and nursing in Patrick O'Brien's cottage, until at last when he as asked re specting his children, he wns fain to count them upon his fingers. And he always began with Ellen and his thumb Paddy came next.and the formula was "There's Ellen, then little Paddy that waa called early, then Paddy that is now sure Ellen and Paddy are the thumb and forefinger to us. What would the mother do with out them, at a'l " Ellen grew to a fine, atout girl, with a cheerful open lace when you spoke to her but there was a shado of care and tho'i over it when in repose, which you may of ten see in the oldest slaughter of a poor man. She moved and acted as if the tribe who had exhausted the family names of the O'Uriens were born children to her mo ther, she was born before them for a dep uty mother lo them all. Legs and arms were all over the cottage, tn all sorts of places where they shouldn't be, nnd she jerked ihem nut of harm's way. with a half pctulent dexterity which was pleasant to observe. Tew-heads and shock-heads popped up continually, aad she pushed them aside with a "there now, won't you he aiy !'' which was musical with a very little discord. And there was an easy and natural carelessness of authority and half rebellion in obedience, which was truly putZHoc to atrangcrs, but wnicn gave no discomposure to Ellen or to her mother. Indeed Mrs. O'Brien sat, the centre of her offspring, with the most contented air in the world, plying her knitting needles with ea sy assiduity , end dismissing child after child from her arms, as they severally grew out of her immediate province and into Ellen's. Or she bustled, if there w as bustling to do. with perfect indifference, it might aeem, to one who did not know her, as to whether there were children in the house or not. But sometimes her interference became necessary as a measure of last appeal, and aha came down on them with heartv whacks which were invariably poulticed with a word or two, half scolding and half good-natu-ed wit. The children were thus reconciled to the propriety and necessity of certain summary inflictions, which at ha same time they look care to avoid, hen t could be done without too much troub'e. Oi'ten there were voices heard in a higher key than is considered proper in a draw- rig-room, and sometimes there was a de bouchment of of children out at the door, and a consequent squealing of little pigs, and fluttering of chickens before it ; which showed the mother's activity at ejection. But no drawing-room ever sheltered more gentle heartland no mother of high degree ever followed a scolding with more pati ence than Mrs. O'Brien did. There waa no malice in her, and a half laugh stood ever in her eye, as she looked at the door on the living miscellanies she had put in motion, and said "Sure you can't turn a hand, or step any phice at all, for pigs, chickens and childer !" There is often more room in the heart thati in the house. The O'Briens began to feel themselves crowded or rather to feel the inconvenience of too many sitters for their stools, without knowing precisely or rather without permitting themselves to acknowledge what caused their discom fort. There were, too many mouths for the potatoes, as Patrick senior and his wife were at last compelled to admit in their matrimonial committee of ways and means and the question now became.how could they diminish the one, or increase the oth er ! The leaser fry were out of the ques tion. Nothing could be donatio the way ol removing them ; nor did the thought oc cur to the father or mother, who loved the children with Irue Irish hearts, that the smallet children were in the way, or that any of the little ones could possibly be spa red, if the lord-lieolenant hirnseil wanted a huh. So thev beuan canvassing at the . o other end of the long list. "There waa Ellen." aaid ihe father. doubtfully. "Ellen! Sure you'll not be putting her away, and nobody to mind the childer ? What ia the wages, I d like to know.would make her place good to us V . And Eden, it was decided.waa a fixture. There is Paddy." aaid the mother with .a a" some hesitation. "Sure he's a urom oi a bov. and it is time that he should do for himself it ia. Ii'a little in life ne's gooe for here, any w a v." The father did not Ihink to. Many were the Utile "turns" that Paddy . cheerlully undertook, bv. all of- them waW mrt i conscience be made to appear lo amount to an indispensable service, or anything like it. 'L'Mik at him now !" said the mother. And they looked at Pat, whose all good natured face,' unconscious that it was the sulijecl of observation, bloomed like a tall flower amid the lesser O'Briens who clus tered about him. "Sure there's a tribe of them !" said O'Brien. "But look at Paddy ! He's the moral of yourself at his age, Patrick; with the same niver-a-thoughl lazy look !" It was questionable whether the wife's affectionate reminiscence was a complim ent or not ; and an expression of aad hu mor, between a smile and scowl, passed over O'Brien's lace, as he regarded his el der son, the heir to his personal beauties and accomplishments and to his cast off clothes. It was of little use the latter were, for the father usually exacted so much oi ihem, that when they descended to the son, sad make-shifts were necessary to keep up in them any show of integrity, however superficial. And the stitches which were hurriedly taken between 'whiles, by his mother, had a comprehensive character which brought distant parts of the garments into a proximity very far from their origi nal intention. The difference in size be tween father and son permitted a latitude in this respect, and the gathering together ol the fabric produced nn appearance more picturesque than elegant. As lo the extra length of the garments,' hat soon corrected itself, and Paddy junior's ankles prcst-nied a ring of ragged fringe, or a couple of well developed calves protruded in easy indifference. Indeed he teat abroih of a boy, good-natured and " bidable," aa he waa ragged and careless. It waa lime that his good properties should be made available and that some of the other young ones should have a chance at their father's wardrobe. CIUPTBK II. It was a aad thing to part with Paddy. Necessity knows no law, and he was ap prenticed to a farmer with more land and fewer children than Patrick O'Brien. And it was no less sore lo Paddy to leave the homestead, lhanj for his brothers and sis ters and father and mother lo give up the " moral tof his father." Those whose hearta are not united by a community in privation, and whose easy lives present no exigencies in which they are compelled lo feel with and for each other, ean separate without tears, and be re-united without emotion. But the few miles of distance which were now to be placed between lit tle Paddy and ihe cot where he was born, seemed to him almost an unbounded desert ; and the going away from home, though for so small a journey, was equivalent to banishment. He took a sorrowful review of all the familiar objects which had been hia companions from birth- There was not a scratch on the cabin walls that did not aeem to him as a brother ; not a mud hole around the premises that waa not as an old familiar friend. But he manfully tore himself from all ; and it was with no little sensation of independence IhM he fell that henceforth he was really to earn his own living, and to eat bread which hould not diminish the breakfasts of the rest. There were other circumstances too, as yet undeveloped, which aided him in becoming reconciled. The inmates of the new home were not strange to little Paddy, and one of them, in special, he had a childish weakness and fondness for. It is not our intention to say thai Paddy and little Norah knew anything about what boarding-school misses call undying af fection ; for such nonsense was beyond their years, and schools were above their opportunities. But leave we faddy to establish himself in his new home, while we return to the O'Briens. Sorrow a bit of difference they soon found, did Paddy's absence make in the consumption of food. The potatoes were as extensively devoured as ever, and little Paddy'a hand-turns were much missed. His bright face gone left a blank which nothing seemed lo fill ; though Mrs. O' Brien, blessings on her, as far aa enume ration went, soon made up the same tale hat there was before Paddy'a extradition There waa a half thought in ihe father's mind of christening tho new comer Paddy also, since the removal,of his favorite boy waa like death to bim ; and be really be gan to feel as if names would run abort if the wearers were not duplicated. J his notion, however, was over-ruled by the bright face of Pat himself, who came at the first opportunity to bid the new broiner uood morning. " Which of the childer is that wid you, Paddy t" said his mother, who had re moved with her knitting to the bed in the dark corner. ( Sure it'a none of oer childer at all. said Paddy, while Norah blushed for the fira lime in her life, and both had the first glimjue of a revelation; ' the mastei'a Norah. 1 thought may be, the walk would be lonely." Mrs. O' Bricn looked on the consequences of her own fear of loneliness consequen ces which had multiplied around her, till an houi's solitude, asleep or awake, had berome one of the never-to return joys which songs sing of. She had a prophetic dream of a similar destiny for Paddy and Noiah, but said nothing to put precocious notions into children's heads. Eilen did not half like her brother's bringing a stran ger home with him and she would have let Norah perceive her displeasure, but her heaitwastookind lodoanybody a disservice. Norah was soon put at ease almost. Bjt Ihe double visit was not repeated till long afterward. Meanwhile Norah and Paddy were "set to thinking." That visit, made in the innocence of their hearts, robbed these hearts of a portion of that innocence. Before, they had been as a new brother and sister now as they grew in. years constraint increased between them. At last, resolved upon what she called a better understanding, Paddy forced Norah to confess in words what she might easily have taken for granted. And they pledgt d themselves, young as they were, to a lifa of privation, and the same chance of more mouths than food, which had been Paddy'a own idea ol a household ever since he could remember his experience in the new home excepted. Paddy went home one evening without Norah, fully resolved to divulge what he had determinded on, in set words a labor he might have saved himself, as it was all guessed long before. His time was out in a few months, and he had resolved, as soon as one bondage waa concluded to enter into another. In the years he had been away, he had visited home too often to be surpri sed at the changes which had taken place. Ellen looked old she seemed the mother of her brothers and sisters, for care fasi brings the marka of years ; and ihe mother, tall, gaunt and thin, looked as if she might have been Ihe grand-parent of the children around her. Patrick, senior, waa belter aaved, but time ahowed its marka on him loo, and those not light ones. He was more peevish than formerly ; he retained the same black pipe longer in service,and kept it, too, in use more constantly, for there waa scarce an hour of ihe day when its fragrance waa not issuing. And as strong tobacco ia toe apt to require strong accom paniments, we are compelled to acknowl edge that Patrick O'Brien was contracting a taste for lesa harmless potations than buttermilk. Poor end content is rich. Poor and discontented is poor indeed. Ellen feit the infection of unhappiness.and the very chil dren seemed to have grown miserable. Squalor and negligence had marked the whole household, and Pat had learned lo make his visit unpleasant performances ot duty, instead of the hilarous occasions that they once were. It was no wonder that he preferred a quiet evening in his second home, w here he could ait and watch Nor- ah's busy fingers, rather than a visit to his own father's house ; for their cracked and dissonant voices jarred harshly, children ried, and the welcome which he once met had changed to the utterance of mutual complaints, and perhaps to unsuspended jarrings among those whom he loved. There seemed a "spell on the place. illen said "Sure there's no luck here any more.' And a neighbor, who bad a son over sea, put a new thought in her head. Ellen waa often desired to act as amanuensis to answer hia letters. If her epistles were not clerkly Ihey were written aa dictated, and it may be shrewdly expec ted that the person to whom I hey were writ tea liked ihem none the less.that he detected the hand-writing, though signed, "your af fectionate mother." Such a paradise as American letters revealed lo her, could not fail lo make her discomforts worse by con- rast. But the paradise was to her for a long time a thing unhoped for, unthought of. At last a new resolution occurred to her. "Sure, mother," she said one day," we'd better be in Ameriky." The mother smiled at the impossibility But Ellen had set her heart on it. She was the prep of the house the only one in it, indeed, who had any strength or deter mination left. Need we say ahe earried her point! She reasoned father and moth er into the desirableness of the change, and they both could but acknowledge that any thing would be preferable lo their present situation. 1 ne correspondence to wmcu she had access furnished her with argu ments, and the will once found for the en terprise, the way no longer presented in superablft obstacles. All had been discussed, and the journey waa luliy determined up on, when Paddy reached ihe cottage with hia plans in his head selfish plans, fcllen afterward said they were. "Sure," cried she as he entered,- "here's Patrick, too, will go with us." "To Ameriky. Patrick," aaid In ffjPSF, takine the nine from his mouth to wiicfi h:i ton's faxre, The turf M ntffMMft: ed, and bewildered. It was all new lo bim and he could make oo reply, save to re peat "A-mer-iky ! "To be sure," said Ellen. "What'll we wail here for.doing no good at allT There' Phelim may be president, and Mike a djuke, and Terrcnce a parliament man, and Brid get marry a lord, and "And Ellen V inquired Patrick, with a quizzical look, which contrasted curiously with his wo-begone expression. "Sure the bej of the land will be hers," said her mother. "Hasn't he been the born slave of the whole of yc's f She did n't go away from her mother' side, not she, for neither board and keeper !" " Mother!" expostulated Paddy. "More she didn't," continued the mother vexed at her son's cool teception of their good news as she deemed it. " She didn't find new young mates, and forget the mo ther that bore her!" "Mother !" said Patrick, "yo $mt me away; ye know ye did. Sure I'd not gone to the Queen's palace asseif, but you mt me away, so you did." Thrue for you, Patrick !" said Ellen, breaking in to keep ihe peace. "Thrue (or you ; aed more be token of that we'll wel come y su back again. Your serv ice is up, come Easter, and then we'll all crosa ihe wide sea together ." Poor Patrick ! All the various modes in which he had conned over his intended communication were put to flight in a moment. This waa no time to speak of any such proposals for with half an eye to such contingence, Patrick knew his mo ther had spoken. Never had the way back seemed so long to Patrick aa it did that night. He had committeJ himself by no engagement to go with his family to the new land over the sea ; but he saw thai they all chose to take his going for grant ed. The children supjiosed il of couaee, thinking of nothing else ; and the elders deemed it the best way to admit no qaes lion. Norah listened ia vain that night for Paddy's cheerful whistle aa he neared the house. She wondered, and fell asleep. But there was no sleep for Patrick. Norah waa too diffideat to ask Patrick how he sped the next day but did n't she burn to know 1 At length, and with a ve ry sad face.he told her all except his moth er's covert and undeserved reproaches. Norah listened with a tear in her eye, for she could not dissemble.

Hug on California. Mr. T. Butler King hai made bis re port on California. He rates the pn populeiion at ltO.000, estimating its in crease Curing the year commencing May . .U I . . . i.ina aeg inning oi tne neat Cry aeaaoo.lo 200,000. He represents the agriculture resources of the Slate aa imsMnse. There is a vast extent of pasture land, unsur passed for verdure aad richness. Wild oals grow spoataneoua on all the plains, yielding aa average annual crop of forty bushels to the acre. Any number of eat tie and sheep can be raised there. Cattle- raising ia a great element of wealth. For merly the cattle were killed only for their hides, which were worth 94, for export Now, cattle ue worth from tiO to S30 head. California is finely adapted lo wool growing, which will be a basis for large manufacture on her noble water courses. 1 he wine grepe grows freely throughout the State, and the future value of California vineyards will be immense. The importa needed tor California for the next year, are estimated at f,000. 000 flour, 14.000.000 lumber, end tS, 000,000 in other articles, making a total of 12,000,000. Lumber is now f?l per thousand feet, which ia lesa than the ex pense of cutting it in California. The gold region ia set down as extending abo-jt COO miles north and aouth, and about 60 miles east and west, giving an erea of 88, 000 square miles, or 23,0-10.000 acres. It rises iu an inclined plane from the Sac ramento valley to the Foot Hills, an eleva tion 4,000 feel. Between these hills and the Nevada mountains, a somber of streams have their source, runing west ward. Twelve of these rivera were ex amined by Mr. King, and found to be all rich in gold, and Mr. King believes the whole quart! plain, equal to 9,000 square miles, is full of gold, bedded in the quarts, and that therein lice the greatest mineral wealth of California. j The whole number of gold hunters sow in the region is set down at 32,000, of which 18.000 are foreigners, and 7,000 Americans. The Chilians and Sonorians have carried off 38.000.000, and the Americans about f 15.000,000. The Chil ians a re 'described aa ei pert diggers. Du ring the next dry season, Mr. King esti mates that 140,000,000 will be dug out In the quarts regions the mining can be done in the wet season, while it can not in what are called ihe ean j, or dry dig emirs. The emount of sold that will be procured from May 1st, 1651, to Novem ber 1st. 163, ia estimated at 9100.000,. 000. Mr. King recommends that the gold lands bereitine-i as public property for ever, as a source of national revenue. Ti workers and diggers of gold, lis propo ses to grant permits at the rate of one ounce for each pound. For the encouragement i t t r m " n. proposes tswawa oi . procured.

The following fects were tskeo from the archive of the H.sierica! Society, Boston. The first poetic cftWoa ever p reduced on Americeo soil, originated in a circum etaace which was handsomely explained by one of the full bloods of the 'J.bwa (or aa we eall ihem) the Chippewa. All , those who he ve witnessed the performances of the Indians of the Far West in our city, must recollect the cradle, aad the mode ia which lee Indians brine up their ch.Idreo.
