DOWN AND UP.

In tie year lS49, young man. who
was rich, and engaged in lucrative
business in Cincinnati. became enamor-
ed of beautiful and amiable girl-the
daughter, by the way, of wealthy parents
aud. after brief courtship, married
her. He loved her dearly. She loved
him dearly. A fortune of happiness
seemed in store for them; but evil days
came. and after a brief but violent strug
gle with fortune the young man became
bankrupt. He was left without dollar,
but moi without hope. The gold mines
OF California were open to the adventu-
ious and TO the industrious. He would
leave his beautiful wife and seek its gilt
tering shores, where he would remain
until his fallen fortunes were revived
The resolution once taken was soon exc
cuied. He came TO California-but The
cloud still hung over him. He was ac-
tive, enterprising and persevering; yet,
while others around him were gathering
the golden harvest in abundance, his ev-
cry project failed. For eight years he
continued thus. He became sick, weary
and disheartened, but his pride wou d
not allow him 10 write home for assist.
ance. He was at last reduced 10 S, II
newspapers upon the street for living.
A few weeks ago he was at Folsom
street wharf. upon The arrival of The mail
steamer. and among the passengers who
came ashore, ne caught a glimpse of a
richly dressed lady whom he thought he
knew He followed her to a hotel, got
a fair view, and recognized her as his
wife whom he had not seen for eight
years. He was poorly dressed, but his
affection conquered his pride, and he
immediately made him ELF known to her.
The recognition was followed by beau
tiful exhibition of unabated unialteIing
love. The lad,'s parents had died,
leiving her an heiress OF great wealth -
She had not heard Of her husband for
eight years. and. fearing for his safety,
she resolved 10 visit this S ate and make
enquiries Tor herself. The lady closed
her conversation with he. husband by
putting her arms about his neck. and
saying Now, dear George, We can 20
home and be happy as We used to be. :"
They did 90 home on the steamer
which left here last Monday. This sto
ry is strictly true.-CaL. Spiri Of the
Times.

ed that the hand which she clasped
around his waist was cold and damp as
marble Full of his new dress. and
the part he acted in the procession, the
circumstance, which he long after re-
membercd with bitter sorrow and com
junction, made no impression on him at
the time
In the evening the newly welded pair
retired 10 their chamber, while the mer
ry making still proceeded in the hall
The room had been locked and the key
taken possession of by the bridesman, 10
prevent any Of the nnseemly frolics which,
it would seem. were sometimes played off
on such occasions. But suddenly there
was heard TO proceed from the bridal
chamber piercing shrek, followed by
dismal groans. On its being opened, the
alarmed company found the bridegroom
welteiing in his blood on The threshold.
and the bride covering in the corner of
chimney with no covering but her shift.
and that dabbed in gore. She told them
'to take up their bonny bridegroom
1t was evident that she was insane, and
the general belief was that she had fran
tica.ly stabbed her husband. From that
moment she made no other rational com
munications. but pined away and died IN
lees than three weeks. Young Balloon
recovered, but would never enter into an
explanation regarding The tragic occur
renee. Perhaps it was this mystry alone
which has given rise't to the favorite be-
lief of the many descendants of Lord
Stair, that the wound was not inflicted BY
their unhappy relatives. but BY Lord
Rutherford, who, they say secreted him
self in the chamber beforehand, and es-
capped afterwards by window. This
notion seems 10 US contrary to all prob
ability, not merely because the concep-
tion of such an act was far too gross foz
man Of rank even of that day, but be-
cause, had it been acted upon something
mist have come OF it. either in the way
of private revenge or of procedure before
a criminal court. The idea was prevalent
at the time, but it may be classed we
we think. with another, recorded by the
credulous law. that the poor bride was
hurled through the house by spirits.

by Mr.. Andre Simpson as a most re

time hangs heavily on the hands of the
passengers. AMI the bIacklegs carry off
large sums of money. They usually re

This gentry had become such an in
tolerabie nuisance that the captains Of
the boats did not know Dgly permit one
10 come on board; and not unfrequently
brace Of blacklegs were landed in the
woods when their profession was discov-
cred.

steamer, and basteDed back 10 the land

neckcloth. tugging along with a large
valise.

True enough. SIR l replied respect,

He accepted my civil effer. and l took

room. 1t was now nearly dark and !
did not see him again that night.
As usual. in the evening. there was q
table in the cabin, devoted to cards; in a
word. there was gambling without stint.
No one objected 10 the practice, so long
as it was not done by professional black
legs. l never played, but 1 often stood
by the table to observe the progress of
the game. and study the looks Of the
players. as they were sg;lated by the

bic well dressed gentleman. who was
regarding with eager interest the plays
