Copenhagen that he had resolved not to re-
turn to Norway.
"You hasten home," said he "they are
longing for you there. AS for me, nobody
wants me, nor do wish to visit again the
scene of my folly and crime. Lose not a
day Eric; / will get along without your ten
der care"
Copenhagen endeavored to dissuade Jarl
from his purpose, but finding him inflexble
began to prepare for his own departure.
He had but little preparation to make. His
cabin and mining claim he gave to Jarl and
me jointly, having first stascertained our will
ingness to mine in partnership.
" 1t is de best claim in de diggings," said
he, "but oder people know it not; and
dere is plenty of ground. l have strike it
rich but say noting. have very much
dust-so much do not know"
AT parting he presented me with hand
some memento in the form of a massive
gold ring, bearing my initials engraved on
a shield, and his own name, which then
learned for the first time-"Eric Ericsson"
inside.
Winter still fingered in the Sierra when
he bade us regretful adieu, but ere the
spring had ripened into summer we receiv-
ed letters announcing his safe arrival home,
and his marriage to Ida Torson. BY that
time Jarl was well enough to handle pick
and shovel to some purpose. We erected
some improved sluices, and, going to work
with energy, were rewarded beyond our
most sanguine hopes. We've unable,
however, to keep our good fortune to our
selves, as Copenhagen had done, and soon
all the ground above and below us was
staked off and worked, with astonishing
results. Perhaps you have heard of "Co-
penhagen Gulch?" This is the very spot
For some years Jarl and worked here,
by which time our ground was exhausted,
and we had amassed very considerable for
tunes. Then Jarl was seized with long
ing to return his native land. He had
been in constant correspondence with Eric
and doubtless with others in his native land
for he used sometimes to receive three or
four letters together; and at last he grew
restless and discontented after the arrival
of each mail, until he could bear it no lon
ger. He returned home and few months
afterwards was surprised to receive let
ter from him announcing his marriage to
Alga Ericsson, Eric's sister. Such curious
turns affairs sometimes take in this world !!

gE- A lover who lives in Mobile, having
quarrel with his lady-love, jumped off
the wharf into the water. Some negroes
fished him out, but his fair one showing no
signs of relenting, in he jumped again.
A second time the obliging darkies pulled
him ashore. She said not word, dropped
not tear, whereupon our hero, who evil
IDENTIFY expected te be persuaded into living
if only for "my sake" made for the water
again. The negroes, who had previously res
cued him, now determined to let him make
die of it sure enough, so they sat calmly
on the wharf smoking their pipes and fish
ing for cats. Down he went into the
haunts of alligators and little fishes, and
not liking the appearance of things below,
rose to the surface, struck out vigorously,
and, being good swimmer, soon succeed
ed in making a landing some distance
below the wharf, where his dulcina was
standing calmly waiting the result. The
girl was not to be fooled.
