RACHEL IN SEARCH OF a LOvER.-About

some young man who was seeking fortune
in the golden valleys of California was some
thing that wa, eminently pleasing to her,
and she agreed to write to him often. Ar
irving in New York he wrote to her, and she
replied by sending him a letter to San
Francisco. The correspondence was kept up
for a year or more, and as is customary
when young men write to young ladies, 1t
became very endearing. and many tender
lines, laden with loves messages, passed
between them. But all at once he failed to
answer her letters, and she began to wonder
what was the matter. Time rolled on, and
eight month. scored themselves upon the
cheeks of the anxious maiden, who grew
more and more restless, and finally deter
mined to come to California in search of her
lover. Obtaining the necessary funds, she
started on her Quixotic errand, aud arrived
in California some four months ago, and
taking lodgings in private boarding house,
inserted advertisements in the papers, telling
& George" that somebody was waiting for
him but " George" did not respond, and as
day after day passed away, she grew thin
and lost her appetite. Her only conversation
was about the absent one, and her chances
of finding him. This so preyed upon her
that her mind gradually gave way, and she
was yesterday examined by committee of
physicians on a charge of insanity. She
imugines that there is conspiracy amongst

THE SLAVE.
COMPOSED BY ARCHBISHOP HUGHES, IN 1924.

COMPOSED BY ARCHBISHOP HUGHES, IN 1924.
The folowings poem was written by the late
Archbishop of New York. When living, Bishol
Hughes was considered the head Of the Catholi
Church in the United States.
Hard is the lot of him who's doomed to toll,
Without one slender hope to sooth his pain,
Whose sweat and labor a masters spoil,
Whose sad reward a masters proud disdain.
Wipe from thy code, Columbia, wipe the stain;
Be free a. air, but yet be kind as free,
And chase foul bondage from thy Southern plain
If such the right of man, by heavens degree,
Oh then let Africa's sons feel what it is-to be
In hot meridian day of late, 1 hied
To court the covert of a spreading oak;
sat beneath-and thence in pity eyed
The negro toiling at his daily yoke.
And still he piled the dull, desponding stroke,
Beneath the scorching of the noon tide sun,
oullen and silent, or if words he spoke,
could not hear, but ever and anon
heard the lash-which even brutes are fair
to shun.
The ruthless driver soon was forced to yield:
Though strong of sinew, still he could not bear
The tyrant labors of the parchng field
But sought shade to breathe purer air;
Whilst, less inhuman, but, alas less fair,
The drudging slave began to pour his song
Upon the needless wind. and breathe despair.
Ho sung the negroes foul, unpited wrong;
Sad and ronical-late he felt the thong
" Hail, Columbia, happy land
Where freedom waves her golden wand
Where equal justice reigns.
But, alb Columbia, great and free,
Has not a boon for mine or me.
But slavery and chains
Oh once had a soothing joy,
The hope of other years,
That free Columbia would destroy
The source of these my tears,
But pining, declining,
l still drag to the grave,
Doomed to sigh till | die
Free COlumbia's slave,
- Hail, Columbia, happy land!
Whose sons, free, a heaven born band,
VIII free soon with blows.
IF freeman's forest blood were shed,
Could it be purer or more real
Than this of mine that flows?
Twas freeman's whip that brought this gore
That trckles down my breast:
But soon my bleeding will be DER,
My grave will yield me rest,
l will, then, until then,
Abide my hard and hopeless lot;
But there's room in the tomb
For freemen, too to rot.
" Hail Columbia, happy land!
Where those who show u fairer hand
Enjoy sweet liberty.
But from the moment ofmy birth,
| slave along Columbia's earth,
Nor freedom smiles on me,
Long have pined through years of woe,
Adown lifes bleeding track,
And still my tears, my blood, must flow,
Because my hand is black
Still boiling, still toiling,
Beneath the burning heats of noon,
l, poor slave court the grave;
0 Columbia, grant the boon?
% Hail, Columbia, hap"
He ceased the song, and heaved another sigh,
In silent, cheeIless moOd-for, ali the while
The drivers hated steps were drawing nigh
Nor song of woe, words beguile
The gOaded sorrows of a thing so vile.
Yet such the plaintive song that caught my ear
The cold humanity may blush to smile,
When doye-eyed Mercy softly learns to hear
And Pity turns aside to shed another tear.

trouble or inconvenience in that year, however, |
had seminal weakness to a fearful extent, whcE
was followed by the most alarming symp-
toms, as weakness of the back and limbs, pain in
the head, dimncss of vision, nervousness and gen
eral debility. My mind, too, was affected to such
extent as to seriously impair my memory, my
ideas were confused and spirits depressed. l was
averse to society, had evil forebodings and self
distrust, and was entirely untitled for any of the

find, and spent several hundred dollars, but in no
instance obtained more than temporary relief.

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus swOrn-to certificates, dupe
the unwary. Some of the self-styled doctors,
whose names are to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, are tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades Some tinsmiths, shoemakers
newspaper carriers, intelligence office keepers &C.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it, Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1868. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-t will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for,
advertising physicians in eight out of ten
are bogus, there is TO safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are. Dr.
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles. certificates, pretended patients letters &c
Dr. Gibbon will satisfy persons who may call at

proposes to cure.
