Another incident occurred on the departure of the
Peytona, on her long voyage. AS usual, large
crowd had gathered on the pier, including several
females, to bid last adieu to relatives,
friends and lovers One girl, who had probably
seen seventeen summers, particularly attract

blonde, clothed in PLAIN though neat dress-wth
remarkably rosy cheeks-a lip the bee might

by the gathering moisture of sadness While
others were hurying to and iro, she stood on the
edge OF the pier, gazing earnestly at the vesse,
now looslDg from her moorlngs. Her eyes were
fixed ON handsome young man, leaning over the
tafirail, rugged out in California dress, who was
no less lntentiy watching the fair girl he WIS
leaving. Just as the vessel began to move in the
water, and recede from the wharf the tears, I'M
hidden, started from their repose--tears IN whose
dumb greet there was a powerful eloquence, filled
her large melting eyes, and stretching out her
hands to him, in a most thrilling plaintve Wills

The color fed from Charey's cheek; his pale lips
quivered a moment, and then he turned, without

young man. perchance, was leaving behnd bm,
