Oh! how Miss Gertrude dreaded the
letter. She felt unable to open it her
self, and thankfully recognized Pastor
Aott's now familiar voice in the hall
below. He would open the letter and
counsel and guide them But the let
ter held no sting; on the contrary, it
proved the res pectable parentage of
their boy, without taking any rights
from them 1t was from an old ac-
quaintance in the West. and dated ten
years back. The bearer, it said,
was a poor young widow of good
character, whose failing health made
II impossible for her any longer to
support herself. She was going back
to her brother, who would be kind to
her If she could find him, but she had
not heard from him for years. II
give her this letter TO you," wrote
Hiss Gertrude's friend, begging you
TO place her in some charitable insti-
tuition, at least until l can hear from
her, in case she fails to find her
brother. She is alone in the world
except for this brother"
The pastor finished reading and
wiped his glasses TO think" said
one OF the sisters, "that we should be
finding out, after all these years, how
our boy came to US"

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

They Form a Completely United Body,
Enterprising and Harmonious
No State of the Union is q nation,
though several States exceed Euro
pean nations both in size and popula-
ton, the State of New York, for ex-
ample, being both larger and moro
popuIous than the whole of Switzer-
land; and no State represents a his
torical nationality. Hence the ex-
perience Of America, it may be OBJ
served, throws no light on the posi-
bility OF using federalism and local
autonomy as convenient methods
either for recognizing and giving free
scope to the sentiment of nationality
which may exist in any part of IN en-
pire, or for meeting the need for local
institutions and distinct legislation
which may arise from differences be
tween such part and the rest of the
empire" The States, looked at as a
whole, make up the United States,
but the United States are nothing but
the political form into which circum-
stances haze nodded the constitution
of single nation. The Americans
are as much one people as the
a moro completely united body
than do the inhabitants of the
United Kingdom. The men you meet
at New York differ less from the men
you meet at Chicago than Londoners
from the citizens OF Edin burgh or than
both from the citizens of Cork The
difference, indeed, between whites and
blacks is of course fundamental, but
the aim of the negro is to initiate to
the best of his power the ordinary
American citizen, and there does not
exist at present, and, as far as one
dare prophesy any thing, there is not
much likelihood there viii exist in the
Union any thing like negro national
ity. Meanwhile-and this is of pri-
mary mportance-the division into
States does not correspond with dif-
ferences of religious creed. An En-
glishman who goes from London TO
Edinburgh enters into a new moral at
mosphere- Who can pass a month in
Scotland without hearing of the diff
| ferences which divide the Free Church
| from the Establishment? What Sane
man living in England cares to recall
these subjects of division? The Ro-
/ man Catholic citizen of Ticino is
] different man from the German Ro-
man Catholic of Lucerne; each differs
| from the German Protestant of Berne
or the French Protestant of Geneva

American; he is not Californian or

A Young Cooks Ready Wit

Louis XII, of France, once took It
into his head to visit the kitchen and
see uwhat was going forward He
there found little fellow about
fourteen years of age busily en-
gagged uturning the spit with
roast meat The youth was hand
somely formed and OF so engaging an
appearance that the King thought him
entitled to some better Office than the
humble one which he then filed Ac-
costing him, Louis asked whence he
came, who he was and what he earned
by his occupation The turnspit did
not know the King, and replied to his
interrogatory without the least en-
barrassment: 81 am from Berny; my
name is Stephen and l earn as much
as the King" What, then, docs the
King earnP" rejoined Louis. ''His ex-
penses," replied Stephen; land l
mine" By this bold and ingenious
answer he won the good graces of the
monarch. who afterwards promoted
him to the situation of groom of the
chamber. San Francisco Argonaut. Z,

more of the deep bass voices of the

Unsatisfed where strange lights burn
Whose sorrows like the mountains blue,

Its heart-whole bliss, its sober Joy.
The summers pass, the children grow;
Brave men, good women, forth they go;

Wait cheerful lonely, free from fears;
At length eve smiles, days labors past
And First Love blossoms, first and lastl

Well, my new friend, say to you
And in my heart do you no wrong,
For latest love is always strong

The Death of Jose Garcia Found to.
BE Accidental.
The hackman, Harry Thompson, who
ran over the Mexican by the name Of
Jose Nj. Garcia, Saturday night, was
exonerated by the Coroner's jury yester-
day which held the inquest upon the
body. When it came down to testi-
mony under an oath, the Coroner found
some difficulty in securing witnesses who
saw the accident, and those who were
really to give full account of the affair
the night before did not appear. The
hackman's brother, who was on the box
with him, testified that the vehicle was
going at very moderate rate Of speed,
and several we're found to give evidence
that Garcia was considerably intoxicated.
The latter point settled the question of
the blame for the most part, and the
final verdict of the jury was death from
injuries sustained by being accidentally
run over by carriage, said carriage
being driven by Henry Thompson, and
that the jury exonerates the said Thomp-
son from blame"

Summer.

The storm Over-Gooa Prospects for
Summer.
Advices received yesterday show that
the storm has abated and the report of
"all quiet now" was telegraphed from
the desert during the forenoon. The
snowfall on the mountains surrounding
the valleys of Southern California has
been heavier than has been known for
some years, and this ensures plenty OF
water in the creeks and rivers through
out the summer. The Kedondo Beach
Company state that only 120 feet of their
pier was carried away by the storm, in
stead of l60 feet as at first reported.
| The wharf was made in the form of IN
L, and it WAS the angular part that was
demolished. This, the officials of the
company say, would not have gone but
| for bad work manship, for they State that
the piles were driven without being
sharpened. The members of the COM
pany say that the pier will be repaired
| tenn porarily, but that they will put up
an iron structure so as to ensure against
J similar calam1ties in the future.
