/ THE CuIroRNrNN's LOVE or HouE-It is
scarcely ten years since the magic cry of gold
first reached the eastern shores from the far.dis-
tant land of California, and the first companies
OF adventurous spirits started for the unexplored
and almost unknown El Dorado of the west. vet
in that brief period half dozen generations of
hopeful explorers have succeeded each Other as
posseSSors Of the golden land. Representatives
are there from every nation, all drawn thjther
by the desire Of gold. California, which but ten
years ago was uueNplored, save by the hardy
traprt, now rc-eehoeS to the voice of civilization.
and the greater portion of the ever teeming,
/ ever-changing mass ot population is imhued with
but one desire, one intention, which is to gain u
share of the golden prize, and return to the bosoms
Of their families whe Californian emlgrant
does not embark withthe anticipation of making
the Pacific state his home; he is II fortune seeker.
and his hopes are that by few years OF toll aud
labor he may acquire sufficient to surround him
self and family with all the comforts and luXuries
of life, in his home in the east; all his thoughts
and his bright visions are in this direction, and
with the golden dreams OF fortune aud success
are hcndcd the hopes Of a speedy return to his
family with these anucipotions, how eagerly
does he watch for eastern news and we can ca
silly imagine the scene which has been described
to Us, whom the tardy post has arrived ut some
little mining precinct; how the miners crowd the
postmaster 5 rough cabin, till II almost totterS
from the high posts ON which il stands; and we
can almost see the eager listeners ms the letter
list is read ovcr and we can hear the joyful cx-
c)omutous from the lucky recipients, aud see the
detected cOuntcuanccs of those who are not
fortunate This intense love Of home, this eager
/ looking forward to return to IL gives tone to
4 the very newspapers, for even the Advertising
columns are filled with feeling illusions to the
Atlantic shore and viewed in the proper light 1t
forms one of the most peculiar aud one of the
most beautiful features of life nthc land of gold.

1t is It dcploroble truth, that the adventure OF
too many eastern immigrants is thus correctly
