ANECDoTE OF THE LATE Hon GEORGE II.
CAMPBELL--Mr. Campbell was, as every
body knows, at one time one of the editors
Of the Native American paper called the
Eagle. At that period, A g. Ely, Esq,
wrote most Of the political leaders of the
paper, which were received as able eponents
of the Native American creed In the en-
ployment Of the Office was brawny, good
natured modern Greek DR. as may be said
in Spahsh-Irishman The functions of
Dennis were to turn the wheel, which gave
the impetus to one of the old Ramage
presses, on which the Eagle was printed
One night, after proof had been read, the
form locked up, and several impressions
worked off, tall George and Mr.. Ely en-
tered the press room and requested the stop
ping of the press. Dennis held up, and for
the nonce the Eagle ceased its fight; there
was something wrong in the setting up of
Mr. Ely's leader; the mistakes were pointed
out, and the presSman proceeded to rectify.
While this was proceeding, Campbell went
up to Dennis to crack joke or two with
the good natured broth v boy
Dennis, how long have you been absent
from the Green IsleY
Green Isle; by dad, Mr. Camel, they
have as good, clear lie in Ireland as you can
produce on the face of the blessed EARTH
All! but, Dennis, now that you are here
in America, you ought to prejudice yourself
in favor of your adopted country
SO do, Mr. Camel I'm an Irishman,
a,n, God hope knows it, thrue Catholic;
but excuse my pronelir9nity Mr. Camel, I
am hypocrite.
How, DennisF
Why, don't yer see wild half an eye, that
yerselfr and Mr. Ely, and other gntemen
are writing from day to day all sorts iv para
griffs, running down me counthrymen and
me religon?
Well, how does that stigmatize you as
hypocrite?
Plain enough, Misther Camel; don't I
turn the wheel that makes the press 60?
don't you, wild the others, write the articles,
and amt ingaged livery night in grinding
om Aperscan princtpIesP
The next morning Dennis had a new pair
of BOOTS on his feet, and Mr.. Campbell
footed the bill-Maa

=" Lily Bell"
BY sTEFHEN c. NASsET

a
Fairest lily of the valley.
FaireSt lowret of the vale,
Faircr than when sun-beams daily,
Round the primrose meek and pale.
She was fresh aS Mays first blossom
And her sweetness none can tell,
Gentle as the summers breathing,
Was the voice of Lily Bell!
Light upon the grassy meadow,
Light amid the flowers of Spring,
Light as mornings early shadow
When the flowers their incense bring;
Was her gentle footstep gliding.
Mid the flowers she loved so we'll;
Flowers that mirror'd back the beauty
On the cheek of Lily Bell.
Fading was my own sweet blossom,
Fading are earth's hopes away.
Fade my heart in carth's cold bosom
Till again | hear her say,
Come away from earth to heaven
With the angels there to dwell"
Hush'd is now the heavenly music
OF the voice of Lily Bell.

PRENTICE, of the Louisville Journal, tells

"Aud all the beauty of the woods,
The splendor of the verdant plain,
The spell that over ocean broods-
Disturb to peace his heart and BRAIN"

"Aud all the beauty of the woods
The spendor of the verdant plain,
The spell that over ocean broodS-
Disturb to peace his heart and brain"
His is no selfish toll
The image of some dear one who loves
him, stimulates him to industry; and his ar
dent desire is, with the alchemy of love to
transmute gold into happiness,
Thus love and hope, melting to courageous
enterprise and persevering labor have built
up an empire on the Pacific, and the birth
of California has been sanctlied, in spite Of
all evils, by the tendereSt sentiments of hui
manity.
Every miner has felt as l write and can
understand the regret with which l finally
abandoned the occupation that first taught
me the nobility of labor.
The old cabin where had lived, where
l had seen some pleasure and much sorrow
and suffering, became dear to me at once
when about to leave it forever. The naked
granite, even, which | had barred to the sky
in searching for gold, seemed to acquire a
degree of loveliness and to invite me back
Every tree, bush and rock; the flowery hill
sides near it, and the familiar mountain
peaks ranged along the blue Newfoundland
marks and guides through so many pros
pectngs all were about me, like regret
full friends, to stay my departure But
more than all, the honest hearts, the open
hands, the pleasant faces Of my old mining
partners-my only friends in all the word
who had struggled with me in health and
cared for me like brothers in sickness--ahl
it was painful, indeed, to say farewell to
thcml But left them, and the old cabin
has since gone to decay The chimney,
raised with so much care and looked at with
so much pride has fallen to the ground; the
friendly logs have been dragged away and
burnt to warm some brother miner; and the
golden blossoms of early spring now aaunt
their beauty on the site of my old home.
oh now forever
Farewell the guleess mind farewell hard work
Fuewell red-shrted chums,' and the big licks'
That render mining pleasant farewell
Farewell the braying mule, the shove's ring,
The gravelrattling Hopper picks sharp click,
The torn sombyero, and all quality,
Pride, hope and toll of honest mining
And oh, ye rich Piacers, whose tccming wealth
The Arabian tales of wonder counterfeit.
Farewell! a miners occupations gone
