POETICAL.
I’ll Thee There,
[George D. Prentice said : “No living
poem can surpass in beauty the following
lines from the music of Amelia :
Pale star that, with thy soft, sad light,
Game out upon my bridal eve,
I have a song to sing to-night,
Before thou takest thy mournful leave,
Since thou so softly time has stirred
That months have seem’d almost like hours
And I am like a little bird
That dept too long amid the flowers.
And, waking, sits with waveless wing,
Soft singing ’mid the shades of even ;
But, oh ! with sadder heart I sing—
I sing of one who dwells in Heaven.
The winds are soft, the clouds are few,
And tendered thought my heart beguiles,
As floating up through mist and clew.
The pale young moon comes out. in smiles
Aud to the green, resounding shoro
Iu silvery troops the Apples crowd,
Till all the ocean, dimpled o’er,
Lifts up its voice and laughs aloud ;
And star on star, all soft and calm,
Flints up yon arch, serenely blue
And, lost to earth and steeped in balm,
My spirits float in either, too.
Loved one! though lost to human sight,
1 feel thy spirit lingering near;
And softly- aa I feel the Ssght
j That tvembles through the atmosphere.
As in some temple’s holy shades,
Tho* mute the hywnland hush’d the pray’r,
! A solemn awe the soul pervades.
! Which tells that worship has been there;
| A breath of incense, left alone,
Where many a censor swung around,
| Which thrill the wanderer like to one
Who treads on consecrated ground.
! I know thy soul, from worlds of bliss;
I Yet stoops awhile to dwell with me,
j Hath caught the prayer I breathed in this,
j That f % ut last might dwell with thee;
! 1 bear a murmur from the seas
j That thrills me like thy spirit s sighs ;
! I hear a voice on every breeze
i That makes to mine its low replies—
A voice all low and sweet like thine ;
| It gives an answer to iny prayer,
j And brings my soul from Heaven a sign
That I will meet aud know thee there.
| 1 11 know thee there by that sweet, face,
| Bound which a tender tialo plays,
Still touched with that expressive grace
made thee lovely all thy fjays :
j By that sweet smile thftt o’er itched
j A beauty like the light of even,
| Whose soft expression never fled
! E’en when its soul lmd fled to
j i ll know thee by that starry crown
That glitters in thy raven hair ;
Gill bjFthese hfesserfsifpjw*ne l
i ll know thee there, IT kittpgjkto* there.
Ft rah! thine eye, wit Vin
i The sweetest youth and beauty-'ll* j j
! That swain in love and softness here,*" i ■
Must swim in love and softness yet. gP
i For ah ! its dark aud liquid beams,
Though saddened by a thousand sighs,
Were holier than the light that streams
Down from the gates of paradise—
Were bright and radiant, like the mom,
Yet .xoft and dewy as the eve,
I Too sad for eyes where smiles are born,
Too young for eyes to learn to griwwe.
I wonder if this cold, sweet breeze
Hath touch’d thy lips and fanu’d the brow,
For all my spirit hears and sees
Recalls thee to my memory now ;
For every hour we breathe apart
Will but increase, if that can be,
The love that fills this lonely heart,
Already filled so full of thee.
But many a tear these, eyes must wesp,
| And many a sin must be forgiven,
Ere pale lips shall sink to sleep,
And you and I shall meet iu Heaven.
The Fatal Lariat.
“What floes that pile of rock mean ?”
“A little distance from, that white
oak ?”
“Yes, just at the break of the hill.”
“Well, there’s a romantic story con
nected with that pile of rock, which was
told me by the old padre who somtimes
passes a week at the Mission. ”
We were riding side by side through
the pleasant valley in the San Antonio
District, where the oldest mission in
Moneray comity, Cal., was established.
My companion was on a flying tour
through the sheep districts, to see what
stock he could pick up for anew ranch
of his, further north.
“I will let you have all tho facts the
padre gave me as soon as we arrive at the
Mission. We shall rest there for a cou
ple of hours, aud there may be a small
tap of wine to wash down the dust of the
southern road.”
“Heaven grant it,” said I, as the long
abode church lay but half a mile before
us.
In ten minutes we drew rein before the
arched portal of the Mission, dismount
ed, aud giving our horses in charge to a
sleepy Indian, who was puffing a cigari
to in the sun, we entered tho Mission
garden.
It wap a neglected spot, luxnriant in
roses and hollyhocks, between which
grew the tall mustard, and the vines were
wild and untrimmed. In the center
stood a ruined fabric that had. once
served as a sort of summer-house, or
lounging place for the padres to sip their
wine of summer evenings. Heie we sat
down, and before a bottle of white wine,
which my friend had foraged from the
THOMSON, GA., JUNE 30,1875.
Mexican in charge of the Mission, and a
chicken gisadp from the coals, fie
told the story of Spanish love and re
veDge:
‘•Twenty year* ago, a wealthy and in
fluential Spaniard lived and prospered on
the Ohitos rancM, about ten miles to the
southward of tiro Mission. Don Filip a
de Aguilar boasted of the' pure Castilian
blood, and his wife was the proudest la
dy in the southern country. They were
hospitable people, and at the Kodea or
Caxrone time, the large adobe house was
filled with guests. His daughter, Car
lotta, was a beautiful girl, and as proud
of her unmixed bipod as her old father. I
"Well, as a natter she wasa
prize worth tho getting, and every young,
good-looking Spaniad in the neighbor
hood displayed jus riding powers in the
field, or tinkled the guitar in the house
to captivate the young Carlotta. She
laughed and w,»r kind to all but never
showed a prsftkjpce. J
“The don, when his,' daughter was in
her nineteenth year, looked himself with
a matrimonial eye, for the most likely
suitor for Carlotta. Don Jhan de la Gu
erra, a widower some forty yesrs of age,
and with many broad leagues at his back,
appeared, the WMft likely. Sp he re
ceived an invitation to paps a week at
the Ohitos. He came, anti saw, but did
not conquer, for Carlotta laughed at his
antique Castilian manners, ridiculed his
pretentions to her hand, and mimicked
his singing. Aguilar therefore gave up
the idea of choosing himself a son-in
law, and waited patiently until the fa
vored man should appear.
“Anastasia Gomez bore an unenviable
reputation in the southern country. His
principal business was dealing monte,
and though now amt, t,h£U„ when dead
broke, he took a liaiH «t the rodeo, yet
honest labor \yn.s something to which he
entertained a constitutional aversion.
He was handsome, and quite inild
looking, sni h as none would suspect of
being a deadly pistol shot, and a man in
some way or other connected with every
bad scrape in tlie djatricl. It was whis
pered that he was associated «i.tb a band
o f desperadoes professional horse
thieves, whose lives in a settlement
would not he wortfy, a dog’s. Still, not
withstanding these rumors, Gomez car
ried a bold front, tipd none dared to
oharjjo him, to his face with any of his
misdeeds.
“One August eveuing, as the Don and
his daughter were sitting under the cool
piazza of the ran <jb, a stranger rode up,
and hitching his to the fence, dis
mounted. lfwited him to a glass
of wine, even before the ceremony of an
introduction ; for where houses are far
apart a strange face is always welcome.
‘“My name is Gomez,' said the stran
’ger, after partaking of the Doit’s hospi
tality.
“ ‘A good name, Seuor,’ said Aguilar,
courteously, ‘though iu this part of the
country we have one who does if up hon
or. ’
“ ‘I have heard of him ; a hard ease I
believe. ’
“‘None worse. I lpst a flue stallion
some months, ago, mid I'm inclined to
credit that scamp wjtli it,’
“ ‘And my favorite mare, father,’ said
Carlotta, ‘went a week ago; I suppose
we’ll have to give Gomez credit for tljat,
too.’
“The guest, who stated that lie bad
just ridden from Monterey,, united with
his host in the existence of
those bands of wandering desperadoes
who interfere so materially with toe pros
perity of the country. Os himself he
stated, that he was a storekeeper from
San Diego, wbp hast been making some
purchases in Monterey, and was on his
way home,
“The evening passed pleasantly. The
Don found a good listener and an agree
able talker iu his guest. He was willing
to hear all the family traditions, aud told
some thrilling stories of his adventures
iu South America and Mexico. Carlot
ta, too, was pleased with the stranger.
He ha<t an excellent voice, and paid the
compliments the Spanish women love so
much, iu an easy, off-hand way that con
trasted strongly with the clumsy admira
tion of the late sipto#, Dpn Juan.
‘“Could you not remaiu a week or so
with us ?’ said Aguilar, as he showed his
guest his chamber.
“‘Willing,’replied Gomez; ‘I have so
arranged my business that I am in no
harry to return to San Diego, and I hope
some day to return your hospitality.’
“Gomez seemed an Admirable Crich
ton in the eyes of Aguilar and his daugh
ter. So affable, so accomplished was he,
, that the old Don thought if he were on
ly sure of his financial standing, he
would make an excellent partner for Car
lotta.
Aguilar, as the. thug of las guest’s de
parture, drew npar, announced to liis
daughter that he would give a ball, and
accordingly invitations were issued to the
surrounding raneheros. Gomez did not
seem, delighted with the coming festivi
ties, and declared that he was a poor
dancer, and indeed oared little for amuse
ments of that description.
Three, days before the ball, Carlotta
and Gomez walked up and down |
in. the vineyard adjoining the house, r m
“ ‘I shall often think of the Ohitos
assure you,’ said he, ‘and of the v, T
pleasant visit I have had,’ !
*
“ ‘Nor shall we forget you ; and when
ever you go to Monterey again, you must
come over to the ranch.’
“They sat down in an arbor by the
boundary wall, and for some moments
both were silent.
“I have had many ventures in my life,’
said Gomez, ‘but uow shall take a chance
greater than all; I love yon, Carlotta;
and he looked boldly at the brown eyes
that tflete fixed on the purple grapes that
drooped to the groutid beside them.
“Fp4 a moment it seemed as if she
was struggling between pride and love;
pride lor the bold, abrupt, wooing, aud
love for the handsome youth who dared
to take her heart by storm. But love
conquered, and Gomez had the Don’s
proud daughter in his arms, blushing
and sobbing.
“■‘Your fathev will not object, my darl
ing,’ he murmured, ‘My family is as
proud and wealthy as his own ; but if he
does, you will trust all to me?*
“ ‘Everything—everything,’ she whis
pered, and arm in arm they entered the
house.
By the advice of her lover, Carlotta
kept their secret, front tint INm, when he
returned. And she felt a little uneasy
at the ooucealmeut, for, she argued, is it
not better that now, hef.ire Gomez de
parts, our minds should be set at rest ?
Still she obeyed, and for the first time
felt a sense of restraint and restlessness
iu the presence of her father.
“On the morning of the testival day
Gomez did not appear at breakfast, but
excused himself saying he suffered from
a severe headache. Carlotta Bent him a
fragrnnt cup of tea prepared by hpy own
i hands, and at message that he should get
j ’veil for the ball.
j “Dinner came, and lie was still too ill
| to appear ; but. he sent a little note to
I Carlotta, stating that it. would be intpos
| sibie for him tp by up at the Vaklt, but
that, he would think of tin-, and not to
make herself too, agte(;,\b> to tl.te gal
lants.
bCfyjlolsta, siinuge to say, had no sym
pathy wish her mother, who mostly kept
Iter bedroom as a confirmed invalid ;
though this evening Madame Aguilar ap
pealed in an 'antique brocade dress for
the hall ; aud though Carlotta was long
ing tor a confidante, still the cold, lan
guid indifference of her mother chitted
her, and she kept her own counsel., Soon
the guests began to ryniv. . l ie- men on
horseback, the Indies in wagons, and
some of the latter riding en pillion. The
large hull aas lighten up, and two vio
lins and three guitars composed the or-,
chest ra.
“Carlotta was belle of the evening,
and happy in her newly found love,
danced,and talked, and sang with an es
prit, that made the hearts of the young
Spaniards ache.
The Don and his old friend T>e la Gu
erra paced the yerntuU aud discoursed of
the gran, I prospers—cattle, and grain,
a,ntl !sjl t.hv, pertaining to their
pursuits.
“ ‘You have- heard of that d«ep«rado
Gomez? said Dob Juan.
“Not oply hetp.;d of but suffered j
from hju, desperations,’ said Aguilar. j
“ ‘Well, lie appears to have forsaken :
the country. The monte houses have
not setjn, him, anil it is ru,mored lie has
taken up his (pup’ters in Mexico. I won
der what opr friends below will think of
this specimen of a California ruffian.’
“ ‘Bhoot him, probably, the first time
he attempts his old tricks. As you men
tioned the name I remember my guest.
I have a .Gomez on a visit; with me at
present—a storekeeper from Baa Diego,
and a most entertaining gentleman.’
“ ‘ls he iu the bnll-Foom ?’
“ ‘No, he is confined to his chamber by
a nervous headache. Excuse me for a
minute. I shall ask him if he feels bet- |
ter ; or suppose we smoke a cigarette in
his room ; I think he is sitting up.’
“Don Aguilar tapped at the door, and
receiving no reply, entered the room, fol
lowed by Don Juan. Gomez was asleep
—one hand hanging over the bedside
and the other beneath his handsome
head. Don J pan gripped his compan
ion’s arm, and diiQW him from the bed
room to the piazza.
“ ‘My God!’ he whispered, ‘do you
know who your guest is?’
“ ‘What I told you ; but why are you
so agitated ? What is the matter ?’
“‘Matter! Why that is, Anastasia Go
mez himself—the gambler, tire murder
er, the horse thief. How coqld you have
been deceived?’
“ ‘You amaze me. Iliad never seen
this man before, anil can hardly believe
it possible, that h<j. is identical with that
scoundrel.’
" ‘ln your ball-room is Mendez, the
brother of a young man who, wap shot in
a soloon Ijy Gomez four weeks ago,’
“ ‘Ay, shot like a dog bpcausc he de
served it!’ said a deep voice,beside them;
,aod Aimsfasia Gomez, dressed and arm
ed, stoojl op, the piazza.
liis eye blazed with, excitement, and
lie.actnpHy towered above the frightened
old men.
“Aguilar,’ he continued, ‘two days ago
I received a promise q£ marriage from
your, daughter. I did not expect to fool
' ; apo a oonsent, but I expected to
I with me. Now Igo to join the
bomson.V
\ Don stood motionless from
’Br and when he rushed to the
NO. 26.
floor of the ball-room he saw Gomez ap
proaching bis daughter while the star
tled gnests fell hack on either side. She
was leaning on the arm of young Men
dez, whs the moment he saw Gomez, ut
tered n shoot of rage, and sprang toward
his brother’s murderer.
“Gomez drew his revolver and fired
one shot at Mendez, and then, and then,
as the crowd pressed in on him, he dash
ed through the open window, hotly pur
sued by Mendez, who had escaped the
ball. The desperado sprang on a vaqne
ro’s horse that stood hitched to the fence
and was off like an arrow in the dark,
ness. A pursuit was at once organized,
but when some twenty men started, Men
dez was nowhere to be found. An Indi
an boy said that he saw Mendez mount a
few moments after Gomez rode off, and
follow him at headlong speed.
The next morning, j,u,st wffiere that
heap of. rookp is the body of Men
dez was found, a lariat around his neck,
and from, tlie appearance of the corpse it
seemed that & had been, dyijgged some
distance. The general opinion was, that
Gomez, finding his pursuer close on his
j heels, had untied the larriat hanging at
! his saddle-bow, lassoed Mendez, and
strangled him."
“And how about the Don and his
daughter ?”
“Old Aguilar was like a raging lion for
six months afterward. Carlotta pre
tended to laugh at the assertion of the
outlaw, Gomez, that she had promised to
love him, and called him an impudent
rascal. But the sequel tokl a different
tale. Os Gomez nothing was. heard for
several months. At last it wa i rumored
that Gomez had been seen ill San Anto
nio District. The old Don swore that if
lie ever saw the scamp he would shoot
him down like a pole cat,
“One movuirig Carlotta Agnihu.- was
missing, apd neither father nor mother,
nor kith, nor kin, ever heard of her
again.”
“Ban off with Gomez, of course, said
I, as the uarraror lighted a fresh cigari
to.
“Such was the general impression ;
but I have told yon all the padre gave
me. So now to horse ; the afternoon is
cool, and the remainder of our ride will
be pleasant.”
