charts, and seemed confident of success. The
most of the party were old Californians. and
were used to Il life of adventure Among the
party was one George Cummins, u man of
large experience, who had accompanied one
of the previous expeditions. They reached
the island after tifty-six days navigation,
thoroughly worn out and disguised. They
spent nineteen days there vainly looking for
the hidden riches, and then gave up the hunt
as entirely Utopian. Setting sail again for
Panama, they finally brought up in La Union,
whence Cummins came up to this city with
the news of their blasted hopes.

petition would put an end to all attempts to
recover the specie. This was not the case.

And was one-and-twenty, May,
And you were seventeen.
Your Voice was low and sweet, Mary:

Your cheek was like the wild red rose
That shoWered its petals down;
our eyes were like the blue speedweU.

And all lis hopes We're ours:
Aud We were children in the fields,
Among the opening flowers.
Nv. Life was like u summer day
Amid the woodlands green,
For was one-anh-twenty, May.
And you were seventeen
The years have come and gone, Mary.
With sunshine and with Shade,
and silvered is the Silken hair

In many a soft and maynard trees
The falrest ever seen
When was one-and-twenty. May.
And You were seventeen,
Though gently changing Time, Mary.
Has touched you in his flight,
our voice has still the old sweet lonp
Your eye the old love light;
And years can never, never change
