musical voice still rings in my ear, and
every word of the song as II dropped
from her lips, sank deep into the hearts
of those gathered around her.
With her golden hair falling careless
" around her little shoulders, her face OF
almost ethereal beauty, and, looking so
trustincly and comfortably upon the
men around, her beautiful eyes illuml-
mated with light that seemed not Il
earth, formed picture of purity ami m
nocence worthy the genius OF poet or
painter.
At the close of the song many were
weeping men who had not shed a tear
for years now wept like children. One
young man, who had resisted with scorn
the pleading of loving mother, and the
entreaties of friends to strive 10 lead q
better life, to desist from course that
was wasting his fortune and running his
health, now approached the child, and
taking both her little hands in his, while
tears streamed down his pale cheeks,ex
claimed with deep emotion
God bless you, my little angel. You
have saved me from ruin and disgrace,
from poverty and drunkard's grass. II
there was ever angels on earth. You are
one God bless you, God bless you :.
and putting bill in the hands of the
mother. said
Please accept this trifie rs a token of
my regard and esteem, for your little
Girl has done me kindness can never
repay. And remember, whenever you
are in want, you will ever find in me a
true friend, at Che same time giving hei
his name and address.
Taking her child by the hand, she
turned to go, but pausing at the door,
said
"God bless You, gentlemen. Accept
the heartfelt thanks of poor, friend
less woman, for the kindness aud cour
tesy YOU have shown her.
Before any one could reply, she was
gone.
4 silence of several minutes ensued
which was at length broken by the pro,
prictor, who exclaimed
"Gentlemcn, that lady is right, and
have sold my last glass of whisky; ltany
of YOU want more, you will have to SO
elsewhere.
".And | have drank my last glass OF
whisky said young man who had
long been given up as utterly beyond
the reach of those who had a deep III
terest in his wcltare-as sunk too low
ever to reform. There is Il temperance
organization in this city called the
Temple of Honor, and at their next
meeting shall send up my name TO be
admitted. Who will 90 with me
ILL, and l." several exclaimed,
in a chorus, and fifteen names were add
ed to his.
True to his word, the owner of the
saloon where this strange scene was en-
acted disposed OF his entire stock the
next day, and is now engaged III an
honorable business. Would to heaven
that lady with her little one could have
gone into every hamlet, town and city,
throughout our country, and met with
like results.

THE SPIRITUAL LIFE.

There wilderness in Gods mercy,
Like the wilderness of the sea;
There's kindness in his justice
Which is more than liberty.
There is no place where earth's sorrows
Are more felt than up in heaven,
There is no place where earth's wailings
Have such kindly judgment given.
For the love Of God is broader
Than the measures of mans mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple,
We should take him at his word,
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.

and an only child In 1852 her parents
removed TO California and settled i'll
Stockton, San Joaquin county. Joseph
Mansfield, her father, was pract-
cal printer. lie served his apprentice
shin in the office Of the Boston Journal
Shortly after his arrival in California he
went to work rs a composltor on the
Stockton Journal, at that time edited
and published by William Blivcn, n
brother of Rasey Bliven, who was with
Gen. Crabb at the Cavorca massacrc
In the early part of 1854 the Journni
passed into the hands of John Tabor,
who edited it ~ an organ OF the W hIg
party Mansfield at this time started
the San joaquin Republican As Demo
cratic journal 1t was in this year that
the celebrated contest between John
Biglcr and George =. Waldo for the
Goyernorship of this State drew out the
full strength of both parties. The most
rancorous partisan feeling was exhibit
ed on both sides. Tabor espOused the
cause of Waldo. and Mansfield was VII
equally strong advocate of the claims OF
Biglcr. The columns of these papers
daily tcemed with abuse of the two can
ddatcS, and finally the editors began to
abuse one ANOTHER.

heart The writer was All eye witness
to the duel
As Mansfield was very much esteem
cd and respected by men Of both par
ties. his death created excitement, and
for long time the friends Of Tabor,
fearing that he might be killed, would
not let him appear in public. When
the estate of Mansfield was settled there
was a pittance for his widow and
child
HELEN JosEPHISE's EIEsT LOVER.
In 1855 Mrs. Mansfield removed TO
the city and rented a house in Bryant
street. Josie was at that time fifteen
years old She was inst budding into
womsnhood, and was possessed Of rare
personal attractions. James ID. Carter
was the owner Of the property adjoiu-

Carter did an extensive trucking bust

Of Helen Josephine had made deep

At the banquet given to the japanese Em-

Rev. Horatio Stebbins, in response to toast,
took occasion to refer to ''the anomalous posi-

the old empire, while Governor Booth, as head
Of one political party, the Republican, and ex-
Governor Haight, representative of the
other, were committed to the policy of exclud-

The speaker added that "the position was
ridiculOus--as policy it was nonsense, as prin-
cipe it is nowhere" The widest cheering
followed Mr. Stebbins' remarks, and the
guests crowded around to shake hands with
him. Governnr Booth and Ex-Governor
