The Dying Boy and the violets.

A little sufferer lay in high, dreary

the blood rushed TO her face as she beheld
one little bud dropping, just beginning to

an infant, and a sweet smile lighted up
his innocent features.

With sigh the poor widow placed it
upon his pillow and watched his CLASSY
eyes eagerly as they watched the flower.

called her mother were purple, fading

After the rough pine coffin was carried

bony fingers were nervously stitching on
the ill.paid for garment, that mother could
see vision Of her early buried child in
the pure white robes of heaven, bending
over the box Of violets.

HERoIsM OF YOUNG LADY.-The

ing Of the steamer John Jay, OH Lake
George says =
"The nobility of Miss Kate Cores
conduct during the excitement and the
struggle for life on board the John Jay,
rises to the dignity and sublimity of po-
etry. She was travelling under the pro-
tectiop of her friend and neighbor, Mr..
Pritchard: and when danger was immi-
nent, she turned to him, "Sir, take care
of Mrs Pri,chard; I can swim" Thus
saying, she tripped forward, with a mind
composed and determination fixed /;
and passed over the side of the burning
vessel. The distance from the shore was
then over mile; but she relying upon
her own strength and courage, and being
unwilling 10 embarrass others who might
have dearer charges--undertook to save
herself. She swan mile and became
exhausted. A good boatman, observing
that she failed, pushed to her relief and
succeeded in reaching her in time. He
took her into his skiff and landed her
safely. She in a transport of Joy, and

p"One Of the saddest looking but wit.

Margaret Fuller, OF Countess Ossoli.-
Carl. in the Boston Transcript relates
that being once engaged in case where
the opposing council had obtained great
weight with the jury by closing his ap.
peal in flood Of tears-Mr. Fuller saw
that with the jury in their then state Of
mind, all was lost. So. rising to reply.
in slow and measured way, and putting
on meek and sub6ued air, he com.
menced with that well known pulpit for.

Adventure in California .

The truth of the following thrilling tale
of adventure is vouched for to us by a
person who heard it from the lips of one
of the party.
"A party of three men started from
Sacramento on prospecting tour, and
being well supplied with provisions, they
penetrated much further into the noun
tains than any other party, without meet
ing with any success. Being men of
great perseverance,, however, they deter
mined to pursue their course still further,
although they had nearly reached point
where it was believed the foot of white
man never trod before. The party began
to feel somewhat discouraged, as luck APP
peared to have abandoned them. They
were many miles from any habitation, and
their provisions were getting very low
A melancholy fee ling prevaded the whole
three, but they kept on till they came to
deep gulch. After making thorough
examination, they returned to Sacramento
after ropes and provisions. Having pro-
cured these, and loaded their mules with
as much as was thought necessary for
their purpose, they proceeded again to the
gulch. TO get down this rsvine was the
next object They tied rope to tree,
and by this means one after the other de.
cended to the bottom after lowering down
the provision and TOOLS Here they found
gold in abundance, and labored assiduous-
ly to secure their pile as soon as possible,
not being particularly in love with their
habilation. By mere accident after
having been in The ravine for several
weeks, they discovered that the rope had
been cut by the Indians. or let loose by
some other means, which cut off all hopes
of escape. The ledges of rock wer per-
pendicular for hundreds of feet, and climb
ing up was out Of the question.
Their provisions rapidly diminished,
and starvation stared them in the face
The gold which they had secured was of
mo use They had made up their minds
that their end was near. Providentially,
party of friendly Indians came by, and
hearing the men hallooing, they discover
ed their whereabouts, and Immediately
went to work to release them. Ropes
were obtained and let down, when they
were drawn up one by one, and their
gold also Being released from their
prison, they literally rewarded the In
dians, and went on their way to more
suitable location, thankful for their pres
erva,ion from the awful fate with which
they had been threatened. y COM
