VOLUME ,.

Mrs. Mary A. D Dennison, author Of
Home Pictures," contributes the
following beautiful narrative to the
Olive Branch: A poor wife and
her daughter are toiling hard, early
and late, amid self-denial and priva-
tons, to pay debt incurred by the
husband and father. The daughter,
who has twenty dollars in her purse,
goes to the house of rich creditor,
in order to tender to him in part pay
ment, when this scene transpires
"Softly her feet sunk in the luxu-
rious hall carpet. Statuary in bronze
and marble lined all the way to the
staircase. The splendor of the room
into which she was ushered, seemed
to her inexperienced eyes too beautiful
for use, and he who came in with his
kind glance and handsome face, the
noblest perfection of manhood she had
ever seen.
"Well, young lady" he said, bland
ly smiling, "to what am I indebted
for this pleasure
"My father, sir, died in your debt"
said Eva, blushingly, speaking very
4loM and sOftlys BY the stfictest
economy and very hard work, we, my
mother and I, have been able to pay
all his creditors but yourself. If you
will be kind enough to receive the bal
ance of your account in small sums
lam sorry they must be SO small, sir
we can, in the course of a few years,
fully liquidate the debt, and then," a
sweet expression lighted up her eyes
1--WE shall have fulfilled my fathers
dying wish, that every stain might be
wiped from his honor" She paused
for moment, and said again, falter-
ingly, "My father rtwas voenfry uu
nate, sir, and broken in health for
many years; but oh, sir, he was hon
orable; he would have paid the last
cent if it had left him beggar."
Very thoughtful sat Mr.. Miner, his
dark eyes fastened upon the gentle
face before him. After a moment Of
silence he raised his head, threw back
the mass Of curling hair that shadow
ed his handsome brow and said
1 remember your father well. I
regretted his death. He was a fine
fellow, fine fellow" he added mu-
slngly but, my dear young lady,
have you the means? do you not en-
barrass yourself by making these pay
ments %
Eva blushed again, and looking up,
ingenuously replied II am obliged
to work, sir, but no labor would be
too arduous that might save the mem
ory of such father from disgrace"
This she spoke with deep emotion
The rich man turned with a choking
in his throat, and tears glistening OF
his lashes. Eva timidly held out the

one day the past week pan of dirt
which yielded $149,S IL. These claims
are situated next to Warren g. Co.'s Of

CoNcERTs.-Mrs. Waller gave two
concerts in this city the past week,
which were enthusiastically received
Her performances have been q general
theme Of conversation, and all concur in
ascribing to her extraordinary vocal
powers, exquisitely cultivated. Her sim
pie and beautiful melodies, contrasting
with the incomprebensibly refined and
tenuitously drawn.out strains of the star
that rose for . night on the horizon Of
our simplicity, have left pleasing i'm
preston Of the value Of our home talent.
We learn that our good neighbors Of

we recommend full house to compli-
meut indigenous talent, and to enjoy her

AUDAcIous ROBBERY. We take from
the State Journal the following account
of the bold robbery of Adams & Co.'s
Express at Mormon Island, on the Goth
ult d:
"At about nine o'clock, Mr. Nichols,
the agent at that point, closed his busi-
ness, depositing all the valuables in the
safe, which he locked and retired to his
sleeping apartment in the rear of the
Office. having the keys Of the safe in his
pocket. He left the Office in charge Of
Messrs Riley and Hartman, who sleep
in the main Office, near the safe. A few
moments after Mr. Nichols retiring,
three men entered and approached the
Office, as if on business. Msssrs R. and
H. responded to their call, and on gain
ing their feet two pistols and knives
were presented to them by two Of the
party, and the same time saying "Joa-
quin is not dead say not a word, or you
die /; we want your money: we know
you've got it, and we're bound to have
it." The third one in the party then
proceeded to tie the hands and feet OF
Messrs R. and H. with buckskin thongs
evidently prepared for the purpose, and
stopped their speech by cramming hand
kerchiefs into their mouths, all the time
asking for the keys of the safe. They
proceeded very leisurely to examine the
draws and books about the ONCE, then
had consulta ton then searched their
victims, taking from them all the loose
change in their pockets, their watches
and pocket knives, at the same time,
threatening Riley with instant death
if he did not produce the keys Of the
safe.
Riley managed to put them Of for
about two hours with various excuses

Discovery OF GoLD.-We learn from
gentleman from Little York, that q
deposit Of gold bearing gravelly cement,
Of q BLUSH cast. has been discovered in
the plaza in that town. The lead il
supposed to connect with Phelps dig
gings, varies from to IL feet in depth,
and is quite rich. The miners were
working up the plaza, which is no in
convenience to such o place as Little
York, where teams do not enter, and q
lead of gofd is of more consequence than

he thought, topaz, but which proves
to be diamond, weighing some two
ounces and further, that he has been
offered, but refused to take, a million

be true; but is too large for us to swal-

diamond the value of it would probably
be something like ten or twelve millions.
