The Grave Of the Pioneer.
The editor of the San Andreas Independent
writes thus Of the grave Of a pioneer miner:

Ihe editor OF the San AndreaS Independenl
writes thus of the grave Of a pioneer miner:
About twenty PAGES from where we now
sit indit;ng these lines. is little hicck of dry
earth, Just pereeivable above the grey waste
that surrounds it At one end has been placed
small stone, which may have served to adjust
a rifle box, but without mark or inscription
to denote the hallowed dust beneath. The
spot Was once adorned by a group of the
stately oaks which give such quaint but
charming appearance to our mountain lapd-
scapes. Ii is the last rest Of one of the old
pioneers. Eight years ago he LETT his cheer
full New England hearth, and sought fortune
in the golden sands of these hills. Fortune
bent an angry eye upon his adventure. He
lay down one summer Jay, under the shadow
OF his favorste tree aud died. Who stall tell
the bitter agony of his soul in the inal hour,
as the bright visions of another day passed
one by one in review before his mind, under
the rear guard captaincy of death? The
stranger scooped out shallow vault and laid
him there for ever. Next day, in the mighty
rush OF lite, death and the victim were alike
forgotten Some vandal hand prompted by a
heart cold as ice, laid the axe to the pillars Of
the grand old forest that nodded over his tomb
and now the place is desert. Heuered be
his bones The fame Of Alaric, with river
to guard the sanctify Of his sepultre, is not
more secure than his. One lived to lay waste
and destroy, the other zerted as unit in the
buiiding an empire. These mntc testimonials
of a brave and intrepid race, which are 50 Of
ten stumbled over IN the mines are suggestive
OF sublime thoughts Laying aside the false
charge Of general sordidness. and Judging cur
people by the grand results Of their labor.
these hardy pioneers appeal to the gratitude of
future ages with irresistible eoauence. In
other times, when an enlightened posteriiy
shall comprehend the great merit OF their
courageous sacriticcs-when vineyard, and
temple, and city and millions of happy, pros
porous people shall uhabit these mountains,
these now neglected or forgotten relics Will be
collected together with careful hand, and
preserved in the most sacred urn of the com
monwealih. hey are the Argonauts OF the
New World, and the perfume ot their deeds
will reach the thousand Islands Of the sea, and
extend far down the dim aisles OF Time. 1t
will be the gratafu task Of history, legend and
song to rep. oduce them from the tomb.
