WINTER AND lIo INIr LEI iOA'"
Winter is with us in real earnest
s1ch a winter as we have often ex-
nerienced in our old homes in the
East: when the united family circle
cat bv the glowing fire, and enjoyed
themselves pleasantly, while the
Ground was being whitened outside
6v the falling flakes, and the north
wind whistled round the corners of
the house. Yes we are experiencing
inst such winter. The snow is
gently falling, and making the scene
. likeness to the old remembered
ones when we rushed into the streets
and gathered snow-balls, to pelt our
nlav1mates with. Nature and the
season are here, wearing the same
aspect as of old; but, alas! the play
mates are not to be found-and the
circle of dear relatives, sitting by the
fire side-where are they? The
merry boys are not in the street, en-
loving themselves, for they are not
here: and the gathered family circle
is a sweet pleasure which the dwell
Ter in the mountain of California has
vet to create for himself out Of the
great future.
Though there is a sadness accom-
panving all thoughts of the happi-
ness of our early days, we yet derive
melancholy pleasure from linger-
inc amid the minute recollections OF
our former lives. We compare the
present with the past; we count what
we have lost. The gold which en-
riches us does not seem to compen-
safe us for all that we have abandon
ed--for the homely enjoyments
which are ours no more.
1t is repugnant to mans nature to
live life of solitary selfshness. He
may endure it for time, in order
to ensure the fruition Of hopes in the
future. But finally he will endeavor
to regain all that he has sacrificed
for a while. Thus it is with many
\ in California. They are toiling and
suffering much, in order that their
dreams of bright future may be re-
allied. Would that they could be
brought to think, with us, that all the
happiness which they desire can be
created here; that here in this new
Hand, whose abundant advantages
are unequaled, they can rebuild the
4homes which have perished with the
scattering of of the family; or trans
plant, with advantage, those which a
kinder fate still preserves in the old
land.
We regard it as unnecessary to re-
captulate the benefits which would
result from a permanent settlement
IN this country. They must be ap-
parent to every rejecting mind
with her acknowledged advantages,
where can a better home be secured
Than in California? Let those who
Pre- here, gather those ties around
them for which they yearn; let the
bmily altar and the household gods
pc reared throughout the land, and
Fe shall soon see the old times rails
ed from the dead among the buried
Years. When winter comes, and the
snow covers the ground again, we
shall see the happy freside in every
house, and the childrsn roistering in
Ne street. We pray for the speedy
arrival of "the good time coming"
