Within the mountain lodgc'We sat
At night, and-watched the'slanted snow
Blow headlong over hill and moor,
And heard, from deli and: turn below,
The loosened torrents thundering slew.
’I‘was such a night as'droWns the stars,
And blots the moon from" out the sky ;
We could' not,see our favorite hireli,
Yet heard it‘rave incessantly.
As tliewlrite‘whirl-winds drilled by.
Sad thoughts were near; we might not bus,
.Their stern'intrusion from the door; '
Till you rosemeekly, lamp in hand,
And. from an inner chamber, bore
A book renowned by sea and shore.
And, as you flung it open, lo! .-
Between the pictured leafletsdny—
Embalmedjby processes of Time— >
A gift of mine, a fuchsia. spray,
I gathered one glad holiday,
.Then suddenly the chamber chau'ged,
And we forgot the‘snow. and Wind ;
Once more we paced a garden-path,
Willi even feel and even mind——
That red sprayin your hair confined.
The cistiis trembled by the porch,
Theshadow round the dial moved ;
I knew 'this though ,I marked them not,
For I had Spoken, unreproved, .
And, dreamlike, knew that I unloved.
Sweet wife! when. fails a darker night,
May some pure flower of memory,
Hid in the volume of the'sonl,
Bring back, o’er life’s fermented sea,
As dear a peaceto you and me.

Captain Patterson, the head of the United
States coast survey in Washington, was one
ofthe early pioneers of California in the
days when Generals Heintzelmau, Magr‘u-
der, Lyons,Emoi-y, “Head Centre” Sweeney
and others, whose subsequent .war records
made them celebrated, had the realest
faith in' San 'Diego, which placet ey be-
lieved would be the metropolis of the' Pa-
cific coast—in" fact, saw “millions in it.”
Captain Patterson knew “S uibob” (Lieu-
tenant Derby? in those days. our ‘cor'resé
pondent reco lects vividly a narrative of
one of the steamer trips from Panama to
San Francisco, which was a chapter in the:
history of both Patterson and Derby, and an
event marking" the early voyages of the.
Californians worthy of record. It: was nar-
rated to your correspondent about a "year
ago by Captain Patterson, from his personal
recollection, and the subject was incidental
to the mention of Derby’s name.
“Squibob” was at thctinie—about twenty
years ago—stationed at San Diego. Some
say that he was exiledb the war depart-
ment on account of his irresistible disposi-
tion to print his luminous productions,
which, generally, beneath a vein. of broad
humor, concealed cutting satires reflecting
upon public officers, whose peculiarities of
character or official conduct attracted his
attention. However, Derby’s genius has
made San Diego historical. ,
One day he left the “Old Town”—-the Pu-
eblo of San Diego—turned his back on‘The
San Diego Herald and upon the adoban
architecture ofthe old tiled buildings, and
went to the outer harbor to take passage for
San Francisco on the Panama steamer,
which had just put in and would soon put
out again on its trip up the coas'.
The steamer was about to put' her nose
and was met on the deck by Captain Pat-
terson. The meeting was mutually agree-
able and warm. Derby said he Wanted to
go to San Francisco. Patterson’s counte-
nance fell a moment, and as suddenly light~
ed up again. He was strangely delighted,
and hurried Derby away to his own quarters,
calling upon his servant to furnish his
chance passenger with anything he chose

THE wrzhmivc. pun.
By a. M. smurc‘n.
One morning, fifty years a o,-- .
When apple trees were white with snow
Ofxfrtigrant blossoms,'and t‘heair~ ~
Was spell-bound withth’e‘ perfume rare,
Upon a farm horse-large‘and lean,
And lazy with its double load. '
.A sun browned youth, and maid were sec-n
Jogging along the winding road.
Blue were the arches of the skies,
But blucr were, the m'aiden’s eyes,
The dew drops on the grass ‘were bright,
But brighther was the loving-light
That sparkled lneatli'thelo 'fringed lid, ' .
Whine those bri lit 9. es of!) he were hid, ,
Adowu the shou der ,rOwn andbare
Qolled the soft waves of golden hair,
Where, almost strangled With the spray,
The sun. a willing sufferer lay. -
'It was the fairest sight,.I ween,
That the young, man had ever seen :
And With his featured-all aglow, '
The happy fellow told her: s‘o’!
And she without .the least surprise
Looked on him” ‘with, thosejhcavenly eyes,
Saw underneath that shade of fan
The handsomest features or... man:
And with a joy but rarely known
She drew that dear face to her own,
And by her bridal bonnet hid—
I cannot tell what she did!
So. on they rode until, among
.‘he new born leaves with dew drops hang,
The parsonage, arrayed in fliite, .
Peers out—a more than welcome sight;
Then, Will) a cloud upon his face,
What shall we do,” heturned to say,
Should he refuse to take .hispay
From what is in the'pillovv'case !" .
And glancing down his eye surveyed
The pillow case before him laid,-

Then at the person's squeaking gate
Halted the more than willing steed.
Down from the horse the bride com s run ;
The latchless gate behind himggw'ungl: ‘
The knocker of that startled door,‘ .
Struck as it never struck before,
Brought ’the whole household pale . with
fright; ' ' ‘ ‘
And there with blushes on his cheek,
So bashful he could hardly speak,
The formcrmet their wondering sight.
The groom goes in, his story'tells,
And as the parson nods, he leans,
ar o’er the window sill and yells,
“ Come in ! He says he’ll take the beans!_’
Lord! How she jumped! With one glad
bound,
She and the bean bag reached the ground.
Then, clasping with each dimpled arm
The precious product of thcfarm, ‘
She bears it through the open deer,
And, down upbn the parlor floor,
Dumps the best‘beans vines ever bore.
Ah l happy were their songs that day
When mail and wife they rode away ;
But happier this chorus still .
When echoed through the woodland scenes ;
