LITTLE BAREFOOT.
BY WILLIAM HENRY DoSoHo.


A barefoot little beggar child
Once stopped me by the way;
Ny tender sympathy besaIled
The little one TO say
''Oh, sir, my mother very sick,
And baby-brotherS dead,
And we are poor-so brother DICK
And are begging bread.
Have yoa no father. dear. TO work,
To feed and elothe you all =
The tears that meath her eyelids lurk
Now down the wan cheeks fall.
II did not mean. my little love,
To pain and grieve you so.
If Fathers dead-there's One above,
trust TO whom you'll go
ooh, lis not that, sir, makes NE CRY.
For Father is not dead
Poor Father drinks-snd that is why
We're all in want of bread.
Poor Father cannot help IL now
he tries. sir. 70 be good;
But then he drinks again, somehow
Oh that he never would
''You do not know nv father, sir;
Not many people do
But go to Mother, and ask her,
And hear what she Il tell you:
She'll tell you Fathers noble heart
And mind made many friend
And now there 5 none to act that part,
And save him from this end.
Sometimes poor Father gets to think,
And sees his danger clear.
Then, when he raves and curses drink,
We love TO hear him swear.
He hugs dear Mother to his breast,
He takes Us on his knee
You q laugh and cry like all the rest,
II You that sight did see.
Next day dear Father trembles so,
And seems 50 cross and sick:
We dread ne Il to the Tavern 60,
Or send poor little Dick,
Bat Mother cooks dainty meal,
Some simple thing and cheap,
And oh, what thanktulness We feel
When he can eat and sleep.
And, sometimes. Father does not drink
One drop for days and weeks
He looks so handsome then we think,
So calm and proud he speaks
Oh sir. il is DISEASE, I'm sure
A dreadful FEvER-will,
At last, unless kind mercy cure,
Both soul and body kill"
MY child, I'll be your Fathers friend
I'll take him by the hand.
Please God your suflerings soon shall end,
He'll be the true house-baud
Once more he'll circle You about,
And bind YOU to his heart
Cheer up, my darling, never doubt
He'll do Fathers part
Returning through the night and snow.
The child tripped on before.
Prattling, and eager now to show,
The stranger to her door.
Their pressing wants relieved-was won,
Through confidence and prayer,
\ richly gifted soul to shun
THAT HIGHvAY OF DESPAIR.
The mother leans upon his breast,
Her children clasps his knee
And am oft a welcome guest,
Their happiness to see.
Clearly Heavenly hand we trace
That caused our paths to meet,
And sent that pleading face
To stop me on the street.

THE FLORENCE was awarded the First and
Highest Premium ut the State Fair of California,
the only Fair on the Pacific Coast at which any

in competition in 1865.
THE FLORENCE received the only premium
awarded by the Mechanics Institute of San Fran

THE SEPARATION.
CHAPTER I.

On one of those balmy evenings, in the mouth of
June, so characteristic in CALIFORNIA; CLINE, care
less observer might might have seen knight OF
The Pick and shovel lissessly vending his way
along the howery banks of old Butte. whose waters
though turbid from hillside soil, which had been
torn from inertia of ages by the mighty hydrant
of the miners. gently murmered under the accumu-
lated load of sedimen. which it carried in its bosom
to enrich the plains below; light winged zephyrs
were moving among the blushing flowers, collecting
their unseen freight of delicious odors, which to
meet the ungrateful olfactories of Antonio, the
above mentioned knight of pick and shovel, who.
though reared amid the vine clad tnrrets of MADEIRA
could not sympathize with the beauties of nature,
Blue mountains, calm ocean, and bright flowing
streams
Could not find place in his fabric of Dreams
but he was continually signing for his affinity, his
better half whom he imagined had been thrown
by the fates, among the hills of California, an1 as
we shall see he found her in very unexpected
manner.
Passing along the streams for some distance he
suddenly arrived at a small slamshoo village, situ
atel on little plateau and embowered in buckeyes,
whose inhabitants consisted entirely of aborignals
commonly called Diggers, who were engaged in
various occupations, suitable TO their diversified
conditions The men as generality were pros
trated upon the ground wrapped in the soprifc
arms of morpheus dreaming of root etoot.' or
some other kind of root good for shumuck. The
old crones were pounding. and subdivding acorns
into an indefinite number OF parts, with which they
manufactured the staff of life, the married women
were earelessly phrenoogising their children in
search of those moving organs, of which Wells
and Fowler, in their genealogical journal fail to
give an account, the madens and boys were playing
with the butterflies, and grasshoppers in such
serious manner. that an Indifferent observer would
almost pronounce it a regular occupation.
Antonio seated himself beside lady called the
Slamshoo widow, who manipulating the cap
Hilary equipment of her ofsprngs, and as she was
possessed of beauty and grace superior to those
around her he soon became vastly interested in her
person
30 ! there are looks and tones that dart,
An instant sunshine through the heart,
As if il had that moment caught
Some trea ure: it through life had sought.
Impelled by sudden sentiment of love for the
Young widow who sat upon a slight upheaval of
earth. arrayed in all the beautiful hahiliments OF
nudity he commenced conversation by means of
those natural signs and gestures. that are ntelli
geble to the whole human race. II was evidently
case oflove at first sight for they had soon pigh-
ted their vows ofunchangng devotion consequent

with all the endearments known to cannubial bliss,
but the course of true love never did run smooth.
