Outward Bound.
BV KATE CAMKKON.
From the shining stand of childhood,
JSliips went sailing, long ago,
Laden with the richest treasures
Which my heart can ever know.
Thoughts as pure as morning dew-drops,
Fancies like the rainbow gay,
Dreams as sweet as fairy music,
Hopes as blithe as birds in May.
But, though I have long been searching,
Youth’s lost treasures ne’er are found :
And I send forth other ventures.
But they are all outward bound.
Outward bound, across tlie ocean,
Which so many leagues is spread:
Not a ripple on tlie water,
Marks the track o'er which they sped.
Vainly watch I for their coming,
Vainly scan the swelling main,
And I fear those fairy vessels
Will not greet my gaze again.
When I call, there is no answer,
Echo only mocks the sound,
Not a sail in the horizon,—
For they all were outward bound.
None come back with golden cargos,
None with tropic fruits appear,
From the islands where Life’s noon-tide
Makes a summer all the year.
Soon the shades of night would gather,
Soon Life’s sky be overcast,
And then, looking to the Future,
I shall have forgot the Past.
When my bark shall leave its moorings,
When I, too am outward bound,
In Eternity’s calm haven.
My lost treasures shall be found !
[From the California Golden Era.]
THE DUEL BY CANDLE-LIGHT,
OR A BROTHER’S REVENGE.
BY BLUNDERBUSS.
It was in the winter of 1851—the 17th
of November. "Well do I remember the
day—not alone from the circumstances I
am about to relate, but—but no matter.—
Tlie experience of every early adventurer
here is dotted with enduring landmarks,
to guide tlie noiseless step of recollection
back through the dim vistas of the past,
and lengthen the great way of life.—
Broad, this evening, is the road we trav
eled to-day, and flowers still blossom be
side it, and thorns linger in the sight;
but further hack, and it narrows into a
thread-like path, along which the flowers lie
dead and scentless, and touching here and
there at a moment of bliss or sepulchre of
hope, approaches the confines of memory,
ami is soon lost to sight.
Well, it was the 17th of November.—
The day had been a dreary, drizzling one,
and as night approached, the wind lulled,
and a heavy fog rolled like a heavy ava
lanche of snow over the hills west of San
Francisco, and settled in a thick, almost
drenching mist over muddy street and
housetop. ’Twas, indeed, a chilly, cheer
less evening, and we did not wonder then,
nor do we now, that the gambling houses
were crowded, and the bars of the drink
ing saloons thronged, for the city was full
of strangers, and promenading the half
paved streets by the uncertain light of an
occasional door-lamp could scarcely he
deemed a positive enjoyment.
The “El-Dorado” was then the great
centre of attraction. It was not only one
of the largest and most substantial struc
tures in the city, but its proprietors were
men whose wealth was counted by tens of
thousands, and every bank in its capacious
saloon was loaded with golden slugs and
ounces. Through the room were ranged
no less thau tweuty tables, at which were
played “faro,” “monte,” “vingt-et-un,”
“lansquenet,” and a variety of other
games, the very names of which lias es
caped me, while from a raised platform
poured a continuous flood of exquisite mu
sic from a band of the best musicians in'
the country. The finest musicial talent in
the State found employment in the gamb
ling saloons of San Francisco and Sacra
mento, and many of the most noted per
formers in the country to-day made their
debut before an audience of gamblers.—
Simonton, the well-known violinist, and
Pettinos, one of the best pianists in the
State, for two years occupied together the
platform of the “El Dorado,” at Sacramen
to, receiving $64 per day for their services,
and the very first musician in the city once
led an orchestra at another gambling
house in the “City of the Plains.”
As we said before the “El Dorado” was
crowded. Many were betting and ventur
ing their last dollar with an uncertain
characteristic of the times, while as many
more were elbowing their way from one
table to another, with no other object than
the gratification of their curiosity, aiui
the vain hope of seeing some desperate
gamester “tap” a hank and win it. A doz
en or more were reeling through the saloon
entirely too wealthy in their own estima
tion evtn to covet the piles of lucre around
them, while not a few might be observed
with hands jammed into their empty pock
ets, staring abstractedly at the progress of
a game that had relieved them ot their
last ounce.
The band had commenced its second
performance for the evening, aud seemed
inteul iu boisterous execution to drown
the clamor of cliukiug silver, when a tali,
muscular-lnokiug miner stopped in front of
the door, and gazing a moment at the
scene within, buttoned his thick coat
around him and started slowly down Wash
ington street. He wa6 coarsely but com
fortably clad. A pair of heavy brown
whiskers completely covered Jits face, and
the broad brim of a slouched hat almost
rested upon his shoulders.
■‘This way, Jane,” said a voice to a fe
male, who had just emerged from a small
wooden building immediately below the
“El Dorado,” and stood hesitating beside
a pool of mud aud water. The minor
stopped, and as the woman carefully se
lected a stcpping-place and spraug to the
pavement, lie involuntarily caught her by
the arm. Somewhat surprised at the
prompt assistance, she gazed into his uu-
shown face for a moment, aud thankiug
him politely passed on with her companion,
who had takeu a more circuitous but less
dangerous (to his polished boots) route to
the sidewalk.
Hesitating a moment, the miuer turned
aud followed. He staitcd as he saw her
enter the gambling saloon. Pushing his
way through the crowd, he next discov
ered her seated behind a monte table. Wc
do not wonder that he looked at her more
than once that his heart heat aud his dark
eyes flashed—for her sweet face was pale
aud careworn, and the smiles that played
upon it as meaniugless as a wayside sun
beam. Her companion, who “called” aud
“cashed the game as she turned the cards,
was what any lady without a too careful
scrutiny of the face, would have pronouced
a fine-looking man. He was dressed in
the extreme of good taste, with the excep
tion, herhaps,of too great a display of jew
elry. His features were regular, ami his
eyes piercing and restless; but that proud
curl of the lip, which not uufrcquently de
notes firmness aud manly independence, iu
him was a repulsive indication of reckless
ness and disdain.
The cards were shuffled, and a “lay-out”
given.
“Make your bets, gentlemen,” sang out
the gambler, while lie jingled a pile of sil
ver before him; “a jack aud a ten—make
your bets ”
Pulling his hat over his eyes, the miner
approached the table, and caselessly toss
ed a golden ounce upon the ten. The
dealer looked up, and again her eyes met
those of the unshoru strauger. She knew
not why—for a thousand eyes had gazed
as iutently into hers before—hut the color
mouuted to her cheeks, and she involunta
rily admonished the miner to withdraw
his bet. The indication, slight though it
appeared, was not lost to the gambler, who
answered it with a frown as dark as mid
night, and turned a searching stare upon
the stranger, who met it with a glance of
defiance that brought the hand of the gam
bler to the handle of his revolver in his
belt. The woman observed all. The mi
ner quietly folded his arms, and the deal
er, with trembling hand, proceeded to draw
the cards. The jack won. Again the
cards were dealt, and two ounces were
thrown down by the stranger instead of
one. He lost a second time, aud again
aud again, until a pile of gold pieces had
been transferred from his pocket to the ta
ble.
“Let your husband deal,” said the loser,
addressing the woman, “perhaps it may-
change my luck.”
“Certainly,” replied the gambler reach
ing for the cards.
At the mention of the word “husband”
peculiar smile rested upon his lips, and
tho eyes of the woman dropped to the ta
ble, as if to avoid the scrutiny of the stran
ger, that he might not read in them a con
fession that she had no husband, although
she was a mother. But he read all.
Again the cards were dealt. There was
a perceptible nervousness ol the hand and
a strange twinke in the eye of the miner,
as he drew from the pockets of his over
coat two purses. All oyes were turned to
wards him.
I’ll bet a hundred ounces on the .ice !”
he exclaimed to the astonished gambler,
dropping the sacks of dust upon tho table,
‘and will draw the cards myself.”
“Five hundred dollars is the limit,” ex
claimed the astonished gambler.
“There is no limit to your rascality ?”
thundered the stranger, “nor should there
be to your game!” and ho replaced the
purses in his pocket.
The gambler sprang to his feet, with
his hand upon his revolver ; but ere he
could draw it, a blow from the horny fist
of the stalwart miner sent him reeling to
the floor.
In a moment all was confusion. A doz
en gamblers from the adjoining tables
rushed to the rescue of the fallen blackleg,
with pistols aud knives glittering in the
lamplight. Tlie woman had risen to her
feet, and stood speechless behind the ta
ble.
“Stand back !” shouted the miner, draw
ing from a belt with his left hand a huge
bowie-knife, and swinging an eight inch
navy revolvei in the other; “stand back !”
he repeated, retreating against the wall as
the gamhle.rs attempted to close in upon
him, “or by the Mother of God I’ll strew
the floor with your carcases!”
“Shoot him down cried one of the gam
blers, brandishing a pistol over his head,
and evincing little inclination to under
take the job himself.
“The first man that pulls a trigger dies!”
said an elderly man, breaking through the
crowd, and placing himself beside the lion
hearted miner. “Ten to one is too great
an odds for any man. He is a stranger
to me, but, by h—1, he shall have fair
piay.”
“Right! right !” shouted the crowd, be
ginning to understand the nature of the
broil; “give him a chance (” and a doz
en more pistols suddenly found the light.
“Let me at him !” yelled the gambler
who had been knocked down, attempting
to reach the offender through the throng.
“Make way for him,” hissed the mi
ner, “and I will use nothing but this!”
and he raised his twelve-inch “bowie,”
aud threw himself into an attitude of de
fence.
“Hold !” said the elderly man, who had
first insisted upon “fair play;” “if you
really want to fight select some Rpot where
there are fewer spectators, if not put up
your weapons!”
“Y ou are right, my friend,” said the mi
ner, “but Twill meet yon scoundrel where
he will, when he will, and with what he
will !”
“Enough,” returned the gambler, render
ed desperate in his rage : “follow me with
a friend, aud I will accommodate you iu
ten minutesV’
“I am completely at yon service,” said
the stranger, “but I have no friend here,
nnless I may call yon one,from the friend
ly part you have already assumed iu this
difficulty.”
“I will not desert you now,” said the
old man, extending his hand, ,r for yon are
a biavc man, and a Kentuckian kuows
how to appreciate courage !”
The miner smiled, and stepping toward
the table, where the woman was sitting,
pale and trembling, said to her in n low
voice :
“Fear nothing—it you are sent for do
uot fail to couiethen taking the arm et
the Kentuckian he followed the gambler,
who was just quitting the saloon, accompa
nied by a friend.
“My friend,” said the miner, as soon as
he had reached the street, “the fight must
be in a room alone, aud without seconds
—with what weapons I care not. Let
whatever may transpire thereafter, excite
no inquiry, and I will explain all to-mor
row.”
The Kentuckian bowed. Both parties
passed down Washington street for some
distance, and halted iu front of a small
two story brick building. Tlie door was
opened by a Chinaman, and taking a light
ed candle, the gambler led the way up a
flight of stairs to a small back room. It
had one window, and was furnished with
a cot-bcadstead, a wash stand, and ttvo
chairs. Placing the light upou one of the
latter, tho gambler strode towards the
stranger, who had just entered, and said :
“Here is the place, and now the time !”
He expected the miner to manifest
symptoms of terror at the announcement
and ask to defer the meeting; but he was
in error and the cool reply of “exactly !”
rendered him alarmingly cognizant of the
fact.
As a last effort to shake the resolution
of the beligerent mountaineer, and avoid
the encounter for which lie felt no inclna-
tion, the gambler said, with effected calm
ness :
“If we fight at all, it must he alone, and
in this room, each armed with a revolver
and ‘bowie.’ ”
I am fortnnately provided with both,”
was the resolute reply.
Then, d n you, take the consequen
ces !” returned the gambler, determined to
fire before the word, and finding courage
in the dishonorable resolution. He found
little consolation in tlie smile just perceived
through the heavy heard of his antagonist.
The arrangements lor the desperate en
counter were soon made. The principals,
each armed with a knife and revolver,
were to be placed on opposite sides of the
room ; tlie door was to be locked on the
outside, and at a word from the seconds,
the fight was to commence with either wea
pon, and to continue lor ten minutes, at
the expiration of which time the seconds
were to enter the room.
The weapons were examined, and the
combatauts placed for slaughter by can
dle light. The door had scarcely beeu
closed and locked before the gambler raised
his pistol and fired. The ball lodged in
the coiling, not an inch from the head of the
other. With the spring of a tiger the lat
ter threw himself upon the gambler, aud
crushed him to the floor before he had
time to again use either pistol or knife.—
Wresting the weapons from his grasp, he
seized him by the throat, aud holding a
knife to his breast, tlie miner swore be
would bury it there if he uttered a loud
word.
“All right! give the word i” said the
miner, as the seconds were about to enter
to ascertain tlie reason of tlie report.
“Are you ready ?”
“Yes f”
“Fire !—one—two—three !”
No report followed, and the seconds
looked at each other in silence.
“Now tell me, Mark Brigham, why I
should not slay you, who attempted to as
sassinate me?” said the miner.
“The shot was accidental—indeed it
was!” returned the trembling gambler.—
“Sparc me, and I will return every dollar
you have lost—give yon all I possess.”
“Let me tell you now why 1 should slay
you. It is not for tho dollars yon won
from me, for I do not value them—nor for
your cowardly attempt to murder me, for I
expected it. Listen,
stole a young girl by the name of Jane
Earley from a boarding school in Roches
ter, New York, and, under promise of mar
riage, induced her to elope with you to
New Orleans. Her parents, who lived
three miles from the city, did not know
yon, for you were not a resident of the
place, and never visited the family but
once. You did not marry the girl. You
made her your mistress—tlie mistress ol' a
gambler—and as such she became a moth
er. Shame prevented her from communi
eating with her parents, and they are still
ignorant of her fate. Three years ago, she
accompanied you to California. Her
brotiier, who had become a man, and vow
ed to terribly avenge the dishonor of his
sister, should he ever meet her seducer, fol
lowed shortly alter, unaware of her pres
ence here. One night he heard her name
pronounced in tho street. He followed her
to a gambling hell, and recognized her,
and by her side her seducer, whom he had
been bul twice before. In venturing his
money, he found a ready means of bring
ing about an encounter, in which he deter
mined to kill you. He met yon in the
room alone. Y on attempted to assassinate
him. Do you know me now ?”
“Mercy t—spare me !” said the gambler,
“and—”
“On one condition,” replied Farley.
“Name it.”
“That you marry the woman yon have
dishonored, and abandon yonr thieving
vocation.”
“I consent—but when ?”
“This very hour.”
“JJpromise,” said the gambler.
“But your promise is not sufficient,” repli
ed Farley. “I will have a better gnavan-
tee. This pistol shall not leave my hands,
or you my side, until the promise is
fulfilled ; and by m v hopes heaven, if you
hesitate in the performance, or show a dis
position to escape, I will put a bail through
yonv body.”
Placing all tlie weapons in his pockets,
except the pistol, which he Jield cocked
in his hand, Farley released the gambter
and ordered him to send for Jane and a
carriage. Through tho half opened door,
which the seconds had opened iu response
from a knock within, Brigham repeated
the order to his astonished lrieml. Learn
ing that no blood had been shed, the latter
left the house, aud in a lew min jtes Jane
was in the presence ol the silent comba
tants. She requested au explanation, bat
was told tliat all would soon he made clear,
and tlie whole party entered the carriage
and were driven to the residence of a cler
gyman on Stockton street, where at ten
o'clock at night, with a pistol ready to
use upon the bridegroom should he falter,
Mark Brigham and Jane Farley were made
man and wife. The unshoru miner then
called her sister, and as she hung upon his
neck, she thanked God tliat the same hoar
had sent her a husband aud a brother.
Brigham scut for his child, which had
been left in- New Orleans, purchased a
tract of land in Los Angelos county, and
is now a wealthy and respected resident
of that region of the vine and fig tree.—
Farley is still a miner in “Old Tuolumne.”
and “Old Kaintnck,” as the world rever
ently learned to call him, was killed by
the Klamath Indians iu 1855.
The Boat or Life.
“Old Billy” was a keeper of the ferry
across the Tallahatchie at the town of Bel
mont, and was greatly respected and rever
enced by his colored brethren all the conn-
try around as pious and orthodox. On one
eccasion, the heavy rainshaving widened
and greatly augmented the impetuousity
of the stream, an ox driver, the color of
charcoal, drove his ‘team’ into the boat;
and as the old man turned his wheel and
drew of from the shore, the ox driver
looking occasionally forth upon the tur
bid stream appealed to this reverened fer
ryman :
‘1 say nog Billy, ’pose dein ropes break,
whar you reckon we’d go to V
T reckon you’d stay in the boat,* an
swered Old Billy.
‘Yes, but’—continued the other—‘do
boat mought be iu lieben ’for we know it.’
Old Billy looked upon his young disci
ple with the utmost scorn and contempt,
and replied :
“Did you eber hear of a boat gwinc to
beben ?’
‘VY’liai de Old Ship of Zion l' promptly
asked the other.
This was a stunner. Old Billy could
not gainsay the existence and destination
of this illustrious craft. »So eyeing his
questioner for a moment with extreme an
noyance, he at length uttered a groan, and
said :
‘Dat boat warn’t made of wood, it was
made of faith.’ And as if emboldened by
a new idea perfectly unanswerable, lie ad
ded—‘And it didn’t go to heben neither.
It jist went to the shcre and ’livered d«
passengers.’
This explanation was rather too much
for the younger, and deferring to the
greater age and Biblical learning of Lis
‘elder brndder,’ he resigned himself and
team to the care of Frovidencc and the
nautical skill of William Guzman.
BREVITIES.
Since the rage for dress and finery set
in—since extravagance became a wornau-
ly beauty, aud to live beyond one’s means
a social requirement— since the loom aud
the workshop have taken the place ot
birth and refinement, and the moneyed
vulgarian is counted higher than the pen
niless aristocrat—since womnn have been
ranked by what they wear and not by
what they are, and a becoming toilette is
accounted eqnal to a personal grace—sinco
none but a chosen few dare to be simple,
none but a remnant of the faithful, dare to
hold themselves aloof from luxury and
fashion—more families have been ruined
than has ever been known before, and the
boasted happiness of the English home is
fast becoming a fable and a myth.
It is a remarkable circumstance tliat
nine-tenths of the slanders uttered are
aimed at individuals the least deserv
ing of it, and who have given the least
cause. If we were to trace the venom to
its original source, we should generally
find that the human reptile from whom it
sprang was so utterly worthless, and so
far beneath auger, as to occasion to sensi
ble men more of astonishment than any
other feeling.
True religion is not a routine of ceremo

that is true and noble in man’s soul springs
from its source.
Such is our pride and weakness that,
we consider happiness as our right, aud
misfortune as an injustice. A wise man,
on the contrary, will consider a happy con
dition as a prize drawn in tho lottery,
which he had no right to expect, hut which
iiis good fortune secured to him.
Men first make up their minds (and the
smaller the mind the sooner made up,) and
seek for the reasons ; ami if they chanco
to stumble upon a good reason, of conrse
they do not reject it. But though they
are right they are only right by chance.
A clear unblemished character compre
hends, not only the integrity that will not
offer, but the spirit that will not snbmit
to au injury; and whether it belongs
to an individual or to a community, it is
the foundation of peace, independence,
aud of safety.
Louis Eleventh, of France, was so fear
ful of death, that as often as it came into
his physician's head to threaten him with
death, he pnt money into his hands to pac
ify him. His physician is said to havo
got fifty five thousand crowns in five
months.
Knowledge cannot be acquired without
pains and application. It is troublesome,
and like deep digging for pure water ; bnt
when once you come to the springs, they*
will rise up and meet you.
Grief murmers ; anger roars; impatience
frets; hut happiness, like a calm river,
flows on in quiet sunlight, without a rip

toward eternity.
There is a vast difference between

There are. two languages that are uni

A Mabomedan proverb says; “The ink
