TWICE IN LOVE
[coScLuDED PROM oUR LAsr.l

Beaufort, Of course, was a constant yisi-
tor ut the Colonies, and always saw Fanny.
He apprehcnded no danger from this init
macy, or would admit none. When rallied
by his friends upon the subject, he affected.
or perhaps felt Indignation. Ills heart"
he said, "was in Forence's grave and as
for Fanny, she had never looked upon him
in any other light than that of a brother"
Still, he was at the house always, went no.
where else, and seemed to care for no one
else. Ifshe mentioned any book she would
like to read, the next morning she received
it with his compliments; if she spoke OF
riding, he offered his services; or Of walk
ing, he recommended the pleasant walks,
and volunteered his companionship. This
might not be love, but it looked very much
like it.
The intercepted glance, the mutual en-
barrassment, the thrilling touch, the fire.
quent sigh, constraint when together, and
uneasiness when eparated-these would be
considered by the experienced as at least
p%remonit0ry symptoms Of love; symptoms,
too, thst argued a rapidly approaching cri-
Neisof the disease.
lsut still Beaufort would speak, when
with Fanny, of Florence-of his devoted
attachment to her--ofher grace, her beau
W, her amiability, and fascinating simplici-
W and Fanny would listen with earnest
seriousness. Yet while Beaufort talked
thus to Fanny of Florence, he was all the
while contemplating, with increasing adj
miration, Fanny's loveliness-her spark
ling health, and Thousand graces of person
and manner; 80 that the sigh with which
he affectedto speak difference at the com
mencement Of the conversation, was given
with his whole lrsart to Fanny at the close.
The true state of things every body per-
ceiyed but the lovers themselves. 1t is not
70 be supposed that a young lady ofFan-
ny's beauty and position, as adopted daugh-
ter Of so wealthy n person, would be with
out admirers. But all withdrew their pre-
tensions however reasonable in themselves,
upon their recognition of the intimacy, and
probably not far distant relationship, be.
tween her and Beaufort.
As for Colonel Wentworth, he said moth.
ing, did nothing; and he perceived the
attachment between the parties, he KEEP
his thoughts to himself.
Love, like murder, will out. 1t is a sc

A secret Of this kind, interesting to tw,

Opportunity is only needed for revelation
and that is always found.

Col Weller and our Irish Citizens

A ridiculous attempt is being made, says
the Butte County Democrat, to excite the
prejudices of our Irish fellow.ciizens against
the Democratic nominee for Governor, in
consequence Of an unfortunate affair which
occurred iu Washington at the last session
of Congress, in which a waiter at one Of
the hotels, who happened to be an Irshman
lost bis life in an alteration with one of
the members of Congress from this State.
It was an occurrence deeply to be deplorcd,
but We suppose that the fact of the waiter
being an Irishman had no more to do with
occasioning the affray than if he had been
. German, Frenchmap, Spaniard or Amer
can, and We cannot but regard the attempt
to give it the character of an attack upon
Irishmen. a species of demagogueism that
needs only to be mentioned to be ridicued
and despised. s. +. Globe

EAR1noUAKE.-A few minutes past IL
o'clock, on the evening Of the 9th inst,
says the Mountain Messenger, severe shock
of an earthquake occurred at this place and
and vicinity. The vibration appeared to be
north to south, and lasted about three sec
onds; it was accompanied by low rum
bling sound, such as might be made by a
wagon crossing bridge. Many of our
citizens thought they felt the earth rise and
fall like waves, but this probably was the
effect of imagination. We understand that
the shock was more severe in the southern
part of the county than at this place.

CENTRAL RA1LRoAD.-1t will be reccol-
lected by our readers that we stated some
months since that G. L. Wilson, who was
the first President of the Sacramento VAL
lev Railroad, had contracted to build a
railroad from Folsom to Marysville, and
had gone to the East to make arrangements
for going forward with the work. Of his
success, the Maaysville Express says:
We learn by private letter from him
to Mr.. Watson, Chief Engineer of the road,
that he had made, on the 18th July, all the
arrangements for shipping to California the
rolling stock and iron necessary to carry
forward the work. the first shipment to be
made on the 18th of the same month He
says he has made much better terms than
he did in 1853 for the Sacramento Valley
Railroad, and he thinks from the appearance
of things around HIM that he will have
no difficulty in raising the material for
building all the roads that the Central
Railroad Company may desire to build in
the country.
AS to the time of his return, he says:
at is possible that l shall be ready to
sail for California on the 9Th of August;
if not, l shall certainly be ready on the GOTH"
We suppose the citizens of this county
are well aware that the Central Railroad
Company, of which Col. Wilson is the con
tractor and Mr.. Watson the Chief Engineer,
is in no manner whatever connected with
the Sacramento Valley Railroad Company,
but wholly separate and distinct A phys-
cal connection merely will exist when the
two roats join at Folsom.
The formation Of this Company, with SO
able and experienced Contractor, and so
efficient and thoroughly competent a CLef
Engineer, together with the stock already
subscribed here, the successful arrangements
at New York, and the prospect that the
citizens of this county will authorize, at the
ensuing general election, the Board of Su-
pervisors to subscr. be two hundred thous-
and dollars to the capital stock of the Com
pany, tit being discretionary with the Board
to invest that sum with this or any other
Company, as they may see fit0 present the
long talked Of project of a railroad between
this city and the tide water below, in a
more tangible and attractive shape than it
has ever before been presented The pros
pect is now clear and we'll defined before
us. There is nothing to do but to pro-
cced vigorously with the enerp,ise--sub-
scribe the two hundred thousand dollars
cheerfully and otherwise aid each individual
to the extent of his power in the prosecu-
ton of the work.
