How the golden eagles glow on the brink
Of the yellow pyramid, built I think,
From spoils of every people.

Gold ore and sovereigns will pave me the aisle,
Doubloons and ducats will wall it in style,
And crowns run up to a .-tceplc.
Clink, clink l
Across the way but a chain and a link,
A spider hides in his web, I think ,
A leopard sleek attorney.

If their artery blood ran moulton gold ;
Ho's traveling on to his master’: fold-

Brighter, more ucctrous than wine, I think ;

Much that my lone licart tries.

MISCELLANY.
A DUTCIIMAN ON A P.\.\'ic.-—Every body
will rcmeiubci- the “money panic” they
had at San Francisco some years since,
and the story “John Phoenix” used to
tell of: its cfl'eot.s, individually illustrated.
Before the fright, a frugal old Diitchnian,
by dint of hard labor, had accumulated
some $500, which he cautiously deposited
in one of the banking houses for safe
keeping. Rumor soon came to his ears
that they were not very safc—-some said
they had " broke.” Next morning he
trcmblingly drew his balance, and put
it in his pocket. He breathed decidedly
freer, but here was a dilemma. What
should he do with it? He did not dare
to keep it in his shanty—and as for car-
rying it about him, ’twas too precious
heavy. So, after a sleepless night or
two, in constant apprehension of burglars,
be deposited. it in another “banking
office.” Another day—the panic increas-
cd—-tliere was a. run on his bank—he
pushed in-—di'cw his g0ld—an(l felt easier
once more. Another anxious day and
night for his “ monisli,” and again it was

felt safer than ever before, and went
quietly to his work. But the panic
reached that bank, and anxious depositors
besieged the doors. Mynheer heard the
news, and put, post-haste, book in hand,
for the scene of action, jammed in with
the crowd, drew his gold, new mid bright,
put it safe in his cordiiroys, and was hap-
py once more ; but here was the dilemma
again-—'w/ierc to put it. ,He had gone
pretty much the rounds of the banks, and
having had such narrow escapes, couldu’t
trust them any more. He sat down on a
curb stone, and soliloquized tlins—“ I
put mine mouisli in von bunk, vcu he

he prcak too; I draw him out; I can
no keep him to home ; I put him into dis

BY FRANCES D. GAGI-‘..
“IVs are in need of some new cliairs,
husband. Shall I call at Scarritt &. Ma-
son’s this morning?” said I to my taller
half, some two years ago.
“ I-Vhy, no, I guess not. I saw an ad-
vertisement of an auction sale of furniture
on Curr a.ud—let. me see l I-Icre it is l
‘ A gentleman wishing to retire from bus-
iness, offers for sale,’ etc.” I.
“ Oh l I hate mict.ions l I always get
cheated. If I realy want u thingl never
hid in time; and if I do bid, I am sure to
have struck off to m ‘ ' st the very thing
I don’t want.”
“Just as _you like l‘ was the answer
husband made, and walked away to his
work.
Left to do as I pleased, I did as wives
usually do when left to suit tlicmselvcs——
followed his suggcstion ant’. concluded to
go to the auction. Fanny was soon in
her rockaway, and we drove ofl‘——Jolin
making himself merry over the remem-
lWfllN-'0 Of 801110 similar experience. But
I Conclllded that all things, like Toodle’s
(‘Omit-‘i. W01lld come in play some time.
While I was pondering in my own
mind 0V9!‘ the frequency of these auctions
3-llfl W0l|dering if there could be any con-
nection between these “ gentlemen wish-
ing to retire from business” and ex-
travagant expeuditurc upon small in-
comes, there rose before me visions of
large establishments, splendidly furnished
with tapestry carpets, rosewood furniture
lace curtains, silver tea sets, and servants
to match? while in close proximity were
shadows of baskets of champagne, fast
horses, rich silks, loves of bonuets, splen-
did mrmtillns, brilliant jewels ; mid all of
the latest style and pattern. I couldn’t
help thinking that it might be, those
things, so coveted by the masses of the
struggling mechanics, tradesmen and
clerks, might, after all be so inimical to
health, happiness, and home comfort, as
to induce certain gentlemen to “ wish to
retire from business.” But there flaunts
the red flag, and here is the crowd. The
aiictioncei-’s voice is already crying, “ Go-
ing l goingl gone !” "
What host of woazcii-faced sharps
crowd around him. IIow a man carries
his clinracter in his look. “Those old
furniture” meu—-not one in the whole
party looks as if he could remember the
time when be boosted the possession, in
fee simple, of such a luxury as a. soul.——
This is all wrong, thought I, as a pale-
faced Woman glided tlirougli the crowd
into a bedroom. Here we are, assembled
to take advantage of the necessities of
our neighbors. '.[‘heu the still paler face
of a widow, who had once owned, or least
been a mistress of just such an establish-
ment caught my eye. Stripped by her
husband of all her fancied wealth, she had
come hither to try to gather up some
cheap things, with which to keep aboard-
iug house, that she and her child might
cat honest bread.
There was the fat old man and his wife
who were going to furnish rooms——and
the dashing young bride, who had set
her heart upon those beautiful mirrors——
and the saucy young miss, who had finish-
cd her education at sixteen, and has led
her indulgent papa to the auction room
to secure for her use that “magnificent
rosewood piano.”
“Who bids ?——-who bids? Give us a
start. Don’t. let such a thing as this go
a bcggiug—onc of Cliii-,kcring’s bes.t———
didn’t cost less than live liuudred in Bos-
iug.” ’
“ One liundi'cd.” ,
“ Shame gentlcmcn—one liundred twen-
ty-fi'vc—fifty-—-fifty——-sixty -wortli four
times the money-”
“ Seventy-fi ve.”
“Shan’t take on five bids—pu sh it
ahead gentlemen.”
“ Eighty.”
“ Eiglity—-—ninety——two luiiidi'ed—-ten
twenty—-—thirty—forty—fifty.”
“Three hundred,” said the saucy miss’
papa.
“ Three hundred——tlu'ee, tliree, three,
three, three—gentlemcn, this splendid
rosewood piano just a‘goiug—going——.who
bids ?—jiist a-going, going—gmze.
So went on the sale. The first floor
was sold at good prices—o. little more,
rather than less, than shop pi'iccs—f'or
the furniture bore evident signs of having
passed through the same ordeal more
than once before. The second story was
soon passed, and yet I had made no bids.
Now the refuse of the third story was
brought to light; old tables, old wash
stands, cracked chamber sets, old pictures
in old frames, that looked as though they
might have adorned the lnimble home of
the pale lady’s childhood, but now put
away out of sight, as had been the light
hcarteduess and joy of earlier days.
“Fine picture, gentlemen and ladies,
Freiicli engraving in a mahogany frame,
worth five dollars of anybody’s money.-
You all know if I did not bcliovc it I
would not say it ; come, give us a bid.”
“ Twenty-five cents.”
“ Did I hear straiglit? Anybody here
so small as that? Got a conscience ?—
Well, must start it at some price ; twen-
ty-five, fivc, five ; thirty five, five, forty
—look at it, gentlemen, look at that mai-
dcu’s arm and clicck—nonc of your pale
bcautics—not a man of you but would
give a fortune for :1. wife like that—buy
her for a pattern, gcutleincn——forty, forty
five, fivc,——iio’ wlialcbone or waddiug
here.”
“Fifty,” lisped I, thinking the frame
and glass surely worth that, forin the diiu
obscurity I could not see the picture.
“Fifty, fifty, lifty—wlio bids, who bids
bids, bids, fifty, fift.y-—-going, go-i-n-g,
gone.” .
I was the owner of the old pl(‘l5lll'e,[".'_l1l
when it was handed over, I found it with-
out a glass, and scarce worth, as I then
thought, the carrying home; it was so
soiled and worn. “ Sold, mother l” said
John, with amiscliievous chuckle. “ Tood-
les’ collins again.” “I’ll get fifty cents
out of it in experience,” said I, as we re-
treatcd to the rockaway.
The picture and mother's bid were duly
laughed at, and the “ old thing” put away
out of sight, on the top of a cupboard in
my sleeping room. And while it takes a
year’s rest, I will describe it as it appear-
ed to me then. A colored French e_ngra-
ving of large size, representing a robust,
healthy looking girl in her working dress
and sun bonnet». with brown: hm arms.
apron full of flowers while she stands with
her right hand upraised, knocking; with
hcr bare knuckles at an humble cot.tage
door, and whispering in French, “ Only
me.” So much I recognized in the ple-
ture ; nothing more, and had often tlu'eat.-
encd to take it down and put in its place
in the frame a favorite lithograph.
The other day “our Maggie” took it.
from its resting place, mid left. it sitting
opposite my bed against the wall, where
the morning sun would guild it with his
earliest rays. For be it known to you,
reader, the sun has to look up to greet us
in the morn. and we always leave :1 blind
open that we may see him in his inajc.sl._y
as he rolls himself out of his prairie bed,
and then batlies his hot looking face in
the turbid Mississippi, setting them all
aglow ere he travels upward on his jour-
ney. I-Ic rises in Illinois; we live on a
hill in i\lissoui'i. I awoke this morning,
(not before sunrise-,) and looking out, the
old picture sprung like a bea.utiful vision,
full upon me, gilded with the softest sun-
light, and smiling at new revclatizui of my
restless spirit.
How could I have failed to see its
beauty and read its moral before? Must
the heart be in tune cre the angels play
harmonics upon the sounding keys ; and
the eye in sympathy with the heart to see
light and truth where once was only a
scroll.
As the sun lighted up the features of the
maiden, they became life-like, and I al-
most hcard the whisper from her parted
lips: “It is only me. I am Labor.—-
Do you not know me? open the door and
let uie in. I bring you health, strength
and cliecrfulncss——-I bring you the
fruits and the flowers. It is ‘ only mc,”’
Ali l the artist has brought out a bean-
tiful thought, and embodied it in that
cheerful girl, who has passed by the pa-
lace of wealth in the back ground to come
in the early morning hour to the luinible
cottage with nat-ure’s choicest and best,
and her basket filled to the top with sim-
ple fruits of the field and the wood.
I wish my picture could stand in a thou-
sand bed chambers; and, looking into
the faces of those who have sought in
idleness to be happy, teach them each
morn the lessons whicli I have i'ca'd, paint-
ed on that dingy canvass by the artist’s
pencil.
“Only me,” says Labor, as she knocks
at the door. of the languid maiden whom
wealth has pampered into disease and
ennui. “Only me? Let me lead you
forth to the fields and woods, and we will
pick the berries together from the hillside
and gather the flowers from the mossy
bank, and from the margin of the running-
brook, and the tops of the hillside. I
will show you how to draw down the
grapes from the tree tons and, the wild
cherry and plum from the bending bouglis.
Ah, if you will but take the hoc and the
trowel, I will teach you the secrets of the
earth ; how the seeds answer the prayer
of the sower and labor in faith to perfect
themselves for the uses of God ; and how
each living its own life gathers its part of
the earth, and the, air, and the sunshine
without faiiitings or repiniugs.
“ Only me l Poor discontented child of
dissipation and folly, let me in, I pray
you, that I may turn all‘ that restless ac-
tivity tliat; is now wearing away thy life-
springs in timisgrcssion, into cliaiinels
that shall do good to thy own heart and
to those dearest and nearst to thee in life
Come with me at the early morning hour
when the dew is on the grass ; seek the
houic of the poor and the needy and help
them in their need, and thou shalt find a
sweeter balm for thy troubled soul in the
voice of tlianksgiving and prayer, which
shall swell in rich music upon thy car,
(when thou hast bestowed upon them
what erst thou hudst squandered upon
thysclf,) than the richest music of the
opera or the most artistic displays of the
stage. Came with me ; and I will teach
thee to be useful, and the useful are ever
luippy.”
“ Only me !” Mistaken strugglcr after
wealth, let thy gains lie uucounted for a
day, and hold converse with nature.-—
VVliy did God dress the earth in beauty
and hang the flowers and fruits in rich
profusion ? why maktl labora bond of our
being, and implant in each human heart
9. yearning desire, a restless longing, an
aching void, which gold, though ye heap
it like liillocks, can never satisfy and nev-
er fill? ‘‘ Only me !” Health, happiness
and innocence, “three in one,” knocking
at your door, asking you to share the rich
feast which nature has provided. Come
f_ortli, and without money and without
price you may share a richer treat than
a. (lusty counting room and musty papers
have cvergivcn.”
“ Only me l” Pale, sickly mother,
thou who hast laid the burden oft‘ thine
own heart, which God meant thou should-
est bear thyself, iipou another. Knowest
thou not tliat God’s laws are immutable,
and that, if thou transgressest even “one
jot or tittle,” apunishmement will follow.
Take back thy cherub to thine own arms,
nurse it, love it, as a mother should.-
There will be labor ; ah l there will some-
times be weariness and care. But labor
will strcw thy pat.h'.vay with flowers tliat
shall not wither in a day, and bring
fruits that shall not be bitter to thy taste,
but shall be, if thou hast done thy duty
well, a blessing though time and eternity.
“ Only me ! All yc sorrowing and re-
piuing. Ye who court inglorious case,
who riot in extravagance, who follow the
dictates of passion and sin. “ Only me!”
honest, cheerful Labor, knocking at the
early dawn of your door. Only me l”
let me in; I will bring health, strength
and happiness, and wealth with me, and
we will enter it and will abide with you
forcvci'moi'e.”
So stands this simple picture bc.forc_ me
at nioruing hour, and each day ‘It gives

A Bit of
Ten vears ago a. young Englisliman ran
away from London where he was liigllly
connected, came down to Liverpool, took
a ship that was up for New Orleans, and
in due course of time landed in this city
with a liglit heart in his breast; ‘W1 be‘
tween one and two hundred pounds in
Bank of England notes in his pocket..——
He had been a mam-ai.e xujet at home. ‘-“"1
what, between wine and women, bad man-
aged to squander :1 lai'gc fortune, besides
involving himself seriously in debt. He
had taken the precaution to provide lum-
self with letters of introduction to respect-
able parties in this city, audby this means
he soon formed the acquaintance of a
young lady, who by the death _oflioi' fath-
er, had just; been left sole heiress to it
large estate. A warm attachment soon
sprung up between the two, and our young
Euglishman one fine day made the lady a
formal tender of his hand and heart. The
answer he rccievcd was the following ; “ I
love you, and will marry you, but on
these conditions, and these only _: lst,
You must stop drinking ; 2d, You must
pay your debts ; 3d, You have squander-
ed one fortune ; you must set to work and
make aiiother” The love_r entreated,
but the lady was inexorable. Just then
the gold fever broke out, our hero deter-
mined, witliout loss of time. t0 tr)’ his
fortune on the shores of the Pacific ocean.
He sat down, wrote a letter to the lady,
in which he announced his (1 ctermination,
assured her of his unaltcrablc affection,
and begged her to be faithful to him, and
without f urtlier adieu, started for New
York, and took ship for San Francisco
via. the Cape. In California he led for
some time a wandering, dissolutc life, and
finally joined the unfortunate expedition
which Raousset de Boulbou fitted out for
the conquest of Sonora. It was known
that he was among the few who escaped to
tell the fate of their heroic leader but
nothing further was heard of him or his
wliercabouts until Saturday, when a friend
of his in this city received a telegraphic
dispatch from him, stating that he was
among the fifty persons saved from the
“ Central Anicrica,” and brought. into
Norfolk by the barque “ Ellen.” The dis-
patch furtliei‘ stated that the writer had
lost $150,000 in gold, which was in the
hands of the purscr, liutiétliat, it was luck-

“ In the town of Somewhere lives Mr.

Once they were poor, now ruinously rich.
They have seven dauglitcrs, whom they

“happcnstance” at Trenton Falls, com-

“For nearly a. quarter of a mile, the
foot-pdtli is upon the wall of the rock,
high above the river, and for a consider-
able distance is not more than a foot in
wirltlz. Just at this narrow pass, as I

young ladies came sailing down in full

must turn back, and as I had traveled

work for an expedient. There is inspira-
tion in a pretty foot—a thought had
struck me, and no sooner thought than
done: down went ‘Excelsior,’ flat as a
groundling, lengthwise in the path, and
one by one the fair dauisels walked over,

—-Brigham has many small children; liv-
ing, and one of his wives is sclioolmistress
to the whole. His two large houses. are
well fiiriiislied, and his daughters ;play_ on
the piano and melodeon. He is a great
lovc1' of fruit, and a warm patron of the
liorlicultnral societies of Utah. Brig-
liam’s time is completely occupied." He
rises early, and calls the wholeof his'fam-
ily together. They sing a liym_i'i’,‘nnd"he
prays fervently, and then they separate
for the duties of the day. Heta'kes= this
meals at the long table, and,’-as he has-‘no
taste for gastronomic" refreshments, the
fare is simple. A bowl of- bread-»—«-and
milk often comprises his breakfast. € -‘His
next duty is to make the rounds, “to-‘see
the women folks.” = -« -
To these he is cordial and kind, but no
more. He is not Brigham the: lover: or ‘
husband, but Brigham the.Pr’opliet.-rand
President. They feel for him more_.'.r,ev-
crcncc than love, watch his.;fac.e..;and
treasure his words, torturing each of
them into the key of some greatimygtgry.
