Sad aud cherless was the morning,
When you left your youthful home,
Left your dearest friends, and kindred,
In a strangers land to roam.
How your parents hearts were yearning,
For their sons they lov'd so we'll,
And their hearts were well nigh breaking,
When they heard your kind farewell.
Yes your brothers., hearts were aching,
And with grie seem'd well nigh riv'n,
In their eyes the tears were glistning,
When the parting hand was giv'n.
Fast the bitter tears were streaming,
Down your sisters tender cheek,
And her heart with sorrow filling,
Fen the parting words to speak,
Then methinks, you sad were feeling,
Sad by each endearing toxin
By each tender word at parting,
From your friends all warmly spoken.
Fast the rolling cars speed onward,
Leaving far your native land,
Bright hopes IN your bosoms beaming,
Dreaming Of the golden strand
O'er the deep and foaming ocean,
Where the noble steamers float,
Onward to your wish'd for haven,
Swiftly speed tha gallant boat;
Soon you reach'd the golden region,
On the California shore,
There its hidden treaures seeking,
Digging up the golden ore.
Through the iiye-long day hard toiling,
Weary to your cot retire,
With no friendly voice to greet you,
Or your evening meal prepare.
There the Indian oft Is skullling,
Vengeance on his foe to reek,
And the ray'uons wolf round prowling,
There a eve, his prey to seek
Voices strange, your ears salutiDg,
And not one familiar face,
There with treach'rous foes oft meeting,
There's the gamblers lurking place.
Vice in every form appearing,
Knowing not in whom TO trust,
Such is life, in c tlifornia,
Such to win the golden dust.
Yet we trust, you still are stunning,
Stunning every vicious path;
Every tempting snare avoiding,
From the ordeal come unscath,
Still Of you, we oft are thinking,
Asking for you, beay'n's blessing,
Gladly from your Pc. receiving,
Lines your friendship still expressing,
Would we could, at hour Of evening,
Step within your cabin door,
Spend an houI or two in chatting.
Asw have in days before.
Still for your friends are anxious,
Thinking Of you night and day,
Hoping soon you'll be returning,
Meier again to stray.
Yes, ycn'ye many friends warm-hearted,
With affections ever true,
For your welfare ever wishing,
And would gladly welcome you.
Anxious are we, to be seeing,
Seeing you at home once more.
Here with friends familiar sitting,
Telling us, your travels o'er

Correspondence of the Palladium,

The excitement in regard 10 the coming
election in this city and State, is tremen-
dous. have witnessed nothing equal 10
it, since the "Hard Cider Campaign" of
1910. Money flows like water, and can
didates are "all things 10 all men," The
Wings; the Democratic parties, Hard and
Soft; Temperance Organization; the Re-
formists; the Liquor Dealers Association;
the Know Nothings, and Heaven knows
how many cliqdes and factions besides,
are all manouvering, plotting and intrigu-
ing TO obtain their special ends. The can
didates are equally busy, in trying to please
all sides, and concentrate the votes of OPP
posing interest upon themselves. Letters
not for the "pdblic eye" are adapted to
the views of half dozen different fac
tons, and all signed by the different can
didates, are circulating where they are
most likely to "tell, " and such a system
of cajolement, equivocaIion, humbug and
downright falsehood, as is now in pro-
gress among us, has seldom been known
before, even in the dirty annals of party
warfare. The proyerb says, that be-
tween two stiles man falls to the ground;
but some of our aspiring politicians, are
essaying TO sit upon at least half dozen.

FoLLowING THE EoRt.-An iinerant
preacher recently travelled among the
northwestern counties in this State, He
was mounted on an animal whose appear
ance betokened very bad keeping, the
mere framework Of what had once been
a horse. Riding up 10 the door OF coun-
try inn, he inquired of the landlord the
distance to the next town. The host COM :
ing out was so forcibly struck with the
appearance Of the animal Upon which the
querist sat, that he walked around him
twice before giving the required infcrlhss
lion. He then inquired:
"Who might you be, if It is fair dtieSs
tion?"

answered.

E5@ The following, which we copy
from religious paper, is a very timely
and wholesome truth:
PoLIrIcAE PREACHING.-An anecdote
is related of the celebrated Malher ByleS
clergyman Of Boston, at the lime Of the
revolution. On being asked why he did
not preach on politics sometimes, he re-
piled that he had thrown up four breast
works, behind which, he had enlrenched
himself, neither of which could be forced
and continued:
"In the first place, do not understand
politics, in the second place, you all do,
every man and mothers son of YOU; in the
third place you have politics all the week,
pray let one day in seven be devoted TO re-
igion: in the fourth place, | am Engaged

consequence than the truths | bring you
