The Real Miners Of 40.

The men in the mines of those early
days were not the stereotyped miners
Of the present day. They we're in
nearly every instance young men, full
of fire and ambition, most of them
gentlemen, intelligent, well educated,
and well bred; men who had means
at home. but had come out here from
a spirit of adventure, intending only
to remain a,year or two, then go home
and enjoy the competency that every
one believed he was sure to obtain.
But the adage, " Easy got, easy co.
was verified in almost every instance,
and here is just where all the old Cali
fornians and their families got their
prodigal habits-taking no thought Of
the future, living up to and beyond
their incomes however large; a habit
that has become so engrafted upon
the present generation that it cannot
be uprooted, no matter how great the
pressure of the times. Why, even al
this late day, | know men who will
spend $50 to have a good time al
night at the opera or a banquet, and
its Accomplishments, and borrow fifty
cents to get their breakfast the mex

Col. Lord acted or hearing am alarm
OF fire a few evenings ago: Col. Lord,
aroused by the alarm and seeing the
reflection Of the light shining in the
windows of his sleeping apartment,
hastily arose, arrayed in nothing but a
cotton night-shirt and slippers and
proceeded TO the front door OF his
lodgings to ascertain the locality Of
the fire. Just as he crossed the sill Of
the street entrance a puff OF wind
banged the door to behind him
striking him with a force which sent
him spinning across the sidewalk. As
the door shuts with a night-latch-the
KEY Of which was not in the Colonel's
possession-he found himself on the
wrong side Of it in a freezing tempera-
ture with a bracing nor wester toying
wantonly with his scant toilet, and
the windows and balconies of adjoin-

neighbors' wives and daughters. AZ
ter besieging the door of his lodgings
with -sledge-hammer blows and furi-
Gus kicks and frantically shouting for
admittance, the Colonel finally sue
ceeded in arousing the sleeping in
mates and was relieved from his en-
barrassed predicament.

MY DARLlNGS.
BY ALICE CARY.

My Rose so red and round,
Nv Daisy, darling of the summer weather.
You must 90 down now, and Keep mousse
together,
Low underground.
o, little silver line
OF meadow water, ere the cloud riSo
darkling
Slip ont of sight, and with your oo"''''
sparkling,
Make their hearth shine
Leaves of the garden bowers,
T he frost is coming sOon-your prime iS
over;
So gently fall and make soft, warm cs'ei
To house my flowers.
1.-the willow, too, forego
The crown that makes you queen OF wood
land graces,
Nor leave the winds to shear the ladys
tresses
From your dropped brow.
Oak. held BY strength apart
From all the trees, stop now your stems
from growing,
And send the sap, while yet It's brayely
flowing,
Back TO your heart.
And ere the autumn sleet
Freeze into ice, or sift to bitter showing,
Made compact with your peers for over
strewing
My darlings sweet.
So when their sleepy eyes
Shall be unlocked by May with rainy
kisses,
They to the sweet renewal Of old blissesl
Refreshed may rise.
Lord, in that evil day
When my own wicked thoughts like
thieves, waylay me,
Or when a pricked conscience rises lup to
slay me,
Shield me, pray.
Aye, when the storm shall drive
Spread Thy two blessed hands like leaves
aDove me,
And with Thy great love, though none
else should love me,
Save me alive
Heal with Thy peace my strife;
And as the poet with his golden versing
Lights his low house, give me, Thy praise
rehearsing,
To light my life.
Shed down Thy grace in showers,
And if some roots of good, at Thy ap-
pearing
Be found in me, transplant them for my
rearing
OF heavenly flowers.
