[For The Dawson Journal.] We Parted By the Hirer Aide. nv PETR RlTltlstress. I parted by tho Riverside, From sweet Samantha Jane— With feelings in my bosom w hich Were next of kin to pain. Mv angel's parent—cruel cuss— Had sworn wo should not wed, This was a stolen interview, And swift the moments sped. S,.id I, “my dearest, fly with me, Or else this river deep Shall boar me on its rolling waves To death’s cold, silent sleep.” “0 Fete,” she said, 'tween sighs and tears, “I must not, —cannot go, I love thee, but mv parent’s will Must be obeyed you know.” Then falling on mj awkward knees, I thought tossy farewell,- — Just here rough hands mv collar seized, And in tbc stream I fell. I turned my head for one fond look E’er ’ncath tjie waves I sank— Tho criiel psPf?nt filled with rage Stood on the river bank, _N. R. —Tt is needless to add, that I made for the opposite shore. How many a loving heart niters the refrain of the following lines “don’t stay long !’. There is nothing of poetrv in the phraseology, buA- there is in the o iching manner n which the words fro qucDtly find voice—in the ‘yearning ten derness,’ fund hopas and deep sympathy of which they become the imperfect in-*" terpretors. llis experience is the poe'- tty of life and love must have be n bar ren indeed who docs not find the.e lines thrill like the echo of cathedral music, to his heart of hearts.’ “DON'T STAY LONG." 1 A look of yearning tondetuess Beneath 1 er lashes lies, And hope and love unutterable Aro shadowed in her eyes, As in tome deep unruffled dream Are cloud’s and summer ski<e. Mite passed to daily womoni ood, From dreamy, sweet gi|,l life, And crossed rhtciosy threshold put To liijd herself a v ife; Oltl gOdtiy should he lead her eteps A o g t! e path ol life. - Aid ns the clarpcd her sm^F white hands \Tpou4pjt,rrn so s’ri^^^ Hew oft, r, like a sutMncr sigh, Or a sMtrf plcadingStug, She whisj eiawith a porting kiss, “Dt loved one, don t stay long.” Ids almost always on her lip, Her gentlest parting words, Swi 1 1 as the fiagrancc from lose leaves When by soft zephyrs stiried, Aid lingering in the memory Like songs ol summer biids. And in his heart they nestle warm, When oiber scenes sn.id ) H >slays not till she Hearty grows, And her fond i yes arc hid, Iu tears which lie in bitterness Beneath each veiling lid. And oh, how many hearts are kept By that love uttering song ! There's scarcely ore who, on life’s waves Is swiftly borne along, Bat what has heard from some dear lips Those sweet voids’—“don’t stay long.’ MISCELLANEOUS. Tiat: os.a cabtman. A TRUE STORY. I have a miml to tell a little story. That it is brief may be seen at a glance, and that it is true I most emphatically avow. If the rcadtr de pises it because of the first, or tho editor r< jects it for the reason of the last, then will I es chew truth in the future, and devote myself to the elaboration of lies into chapters and tbc purest fictions into vol umes of seventeen hundred pages each. With this understanding I proceed : at once to remark that five years ago, | or there about?, John Anslcy—or‘l’ap Asley, as he #as familliarly called—was u v e owner cf a handcar and earned a - I” conveying misscllaneous par livuig -’ section to another, atid re cels from en„ , reasonable remu cciving therefor * 4 Deration of filly cents pm ’““**• . , To designate the occupcticn in proficst language possible, ho wa» a hand cart-mau, and when not employed, could always be found during working hours at the corner of Montgomery and California s’rco’s. His hair and long heard was quite grey and hia limbs feeble ; and if he could not shove as heavy a 1 .ad through tho deep sand or up the steep grade above as-the stalwait Tcuton'on the op posite corner, thereby losing many a dollar, all tho light loads in the neigh borhood fell to his lot, and kind-hearted men not unfrequcntly traveled a square or two cut if their way to give an easy job to ‘Pap Ansley.’ Four years last September,— I recol lect tho month, for 1 had a note of four thousand dollar to pay, and was compell ed to do somo pretty sharp financiering to meet it, —Laving two or three dozen volumes of books to transfer to my lodg ing, 1 gave ‘Pap Aueley’ the task of ‘ transportation. Arriving at my room just as he had deposited bis last armful on the table, observing that the old man looked con siderably fatigued, after climbing three (lights of stairs fivo er tis times, I invit ed him to take a glass of brandy—a bottle of which I usually kipt at my room for medicinal and soporific pur poses. Although grateful lor the invi- DAWSON, FIIIIIfAA, .II’TVK !L2l, tation lie politely declined. I urged, but ho was inflexible. I was grcatlv astonished. ‘lbi you never drink V asked I. cry seldom,’ he rep.iod, dropping into a ohair at my request, and wiping tLe perspiration from off his forehead. ‘Well, if you drink at all,’l insisted, you will not find in tho next six months so fair rin excuse for indulging, for you seem fatigued and scarcely able' to stand.’ ‘lo be frank, said the old mar,'l do not driuk any now. I have not tasted any intoxicating liquor for fifteen ycais —since—since—’ ‘Since when ?’ T asked, thoughtlessly observing his hesitation. The old man told me yeais ago he was a well to do farmer mar Syracuse, N. Y. He had but one child—adaughicr. While attending a boarding school in that city, tbo girl, then hut sixteen years of age, formed an attachment for a young physician. Ac quainting her father with the circum stances, he flatly icfiftcd his consent to her union with a man ho had never seen, and removing hot from school, di patch ed a note to the young gallant with the somewhat poined information that his presence in the ncigborhood of the Ash ley farm would not meet with favor. The reader of course surmises the re sult, for snch a proceeding could and can have but one result. In less than a month there was an •elopement. Tho father loadd his double barrel shot gun, and swore ven geance ; but failing to find the fugitives lie took to the bottle. II s good wife told him not to dispair, but he drank the deeper at and aceuscd her of encour aging the elopement. In three months the wife died, and at the expiraiim of a year the young Couple returned to Syracuse from Con necticut, where they*learned alter the death of bis wife, of which they had been aprised he bad sold bis farmpquan dcred the proceeds, and was almost des titute. Learning ol their arrival, Ans ley dia- k himself into a phrenzy and proceeded to the hotel where they were stopping, attacked the husband, wound ed him iu the arm with a pistol shot, and then attempted the life of his daugli ler, who hup;ily escaped uninjured through tbc interp onion of poisons brought to the spot by the report of the pistol. Ainolcy was arrested, tried on the plea ts insa itv. The daughter and her husband returned to C, rscecticut, since which time the father had not heard from them, lie was sent to a luoaiic asjlutn, r roin which he ras dis missed after reuiaing six months. l,i 1801 he came to California, lie had followed mil .it g for two years, but find ing bis streangth unt qu.-.l to tho pur* suit, returned to this city purchesed a hand-cart, and"—the rest is known, 'tiirce then,’ concluded the old man bowing bis head in ngory, 'I have not seen my child 1 rcgrcled that I had been so inquk-iuve, and cxjreEcd to the si ffurct the sympathy I really felt for him. Aftei that 1 seldom passed the comer without looking for ‘l’ap Ains ley,’ and never saw him but to think of the sad story he had told mo. On? chilly, drizzling day in the De cember following, a gentleman having purebasad a emaii marble top table at an auctiou room oppisitc, proffered the old man the job of conveying it to his residence on Stockton street. Not wish ing to accompany the carrier, he had selected the face probably giving the best assurance of the careful delivery of the purchase. Furnished with the number of the house, the old cartman, after a pretty trying slruggle with the deep decent of California street, reached his destina tion and deposited the table in the hall. Lingering a moment, the lady did not seem to surmise the reason, until he po litely informed her thafj’ierjhusbnnd, for which he took him to be—had proba ble by accident neglected to settle for the cartage. “Very well, I will pay you,’ said the lady stepping in an adjoining room. She returned, and stated she had no small er coin in the house, banded the old man a [twenty dollar gold piece. He could not make tho chaDge. ‘Never mind I will call tomorrow,’ said he, turning to go. ‘No, no !, replied the lady, glancing pityingly at the white locks and trem bling limbs; ‘I will not permit you to put yourself to so much trouble;’ and she handed the coin to Bridget, with instructions to see if she couid get it changed at one of the stores or some of the markets in the ncighboihood. ‘Step into the parlor until the girl re (turns; tbc air is chilly and you must . ®old,’ costmucd the lady very kindly. v ; '-e added, as he looked at his " n i C ’ A no one there but the rough attire, Mk. childeD.’ , , ~ , ‘lt is somewhat chilly,’ ropi>. man following her into the parlor atu taking a scat near the fire. ‘Perhaps I may find somo silver ill the house,’ said tho lady leaving the room, ‘for I fear Bridget will not suc ceed in getting the twenty dollar gold piece changed.’ ‘Come here, little one,’ said the o'd man, coaxiogly, to the younger of the two children ; a girl about six years of age. ‘Come, - love little children; anil the little child who had been watch ing him with curifsity from behind the large; arm chair hesitatingly approach ed. . ‘What is your name, dear r inquirod the cartman. ‘ Maria,’ lisped (ho little one. ‘Marin,’ be repeated, with the great tears gathering in Lis eyes. I once bad a little girl name Maria, and you look very much as she did. ‘Did you V inquired the child with interest; ‘nnd was her name Mari* East man, too ?’ ‘Merciful God !” exclaimed the old man, starting from his chair, aud again dropping into it with his head bowed upon his breast ‘This cannot be ! and yet why not ? lie caught tho child in his arms with an eagerness that (tightened her, and gazing into h:r face until he saw con viction there, rose to leave the house. ‘I cannot meet her without betraying myself, and I dare not tell that I am that drunken falher who once attempt ed to take her life, and perhaps left her husband a cripple,’ ho groanod and hur ried to the donr. The little rnes were bewildered. ‘You arc not going V said tho moth er, at that time rc-appearing and dis covering the old man in the act of pass ing into the ball. lie s’oppcd and partly turned his face, but seemed to lack rcßolulion to do onxht else. ‘He said he bad a little Maria once, that looked just like me, mother,’ shout ed the child, her eyes sparkling with delight. Tho knees of tho old cartman trem bled, and he leaned agaii st the door for support. Tho lady sprang t( ward him, and, taking him by the arm, at tempted to conduct him to a chair. “No, no,’ ho exclaimed, ‘not uutil you tell mo I am forgiven.’ ‘Forgiven—for what ?’ replied the mother in alarm. ‘Recognize in mo your wretched fath er, and I need not tell you,’ he falter ed. ‘My poor father I’ she cried, throwing her arms around bis neck ; *al 1 is for given—all is forgotten.’ All was forgiven, and the husband, when he returned Lte in the afternoon, was sc . c ly less rejoiced than his good wife at the discovery. Whether or not Uridgct succeeded in changing the double eagle 1 never learned, but this I do know—it took the benest female all of two months *o unravel the knot in which the domestic sffiirs of her family had tied themselves during hot absence. I’ap Ainslcy still keeps his cart, for money would not induce him to part with it. 1 peeped into the back yard of Mr. Kastman one day last week and discovered the old man dragging the favorite vehicle round tho enclosure with his four grandchildren piled pro miscuoualy iuto it. [Fiom The American Messenger.] “Toueli Aot, Taslc A'ot.” The lute Governor Briggs, of Mas sachusetts, was a well known and able advocate of “total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks.” He told mo that he was once accosted by a lady at a large and fashionable party, who said, as he declined a glass of wine : “Kt-ally, Governor Briggs, I think you a little fanatical on this subject.— What possible harm can a glass cf wine do, taken at parties, and wed dings, v. i h one’s friends Governor Briggs replied, “if you wil go hy yourse'f into t>; ma corner here, and spend a half hour thinking over the families of your acquaintances and friends, and count tho number of victims to intemperance in each fami ly, and can then come back to me and say you think me fanatical in trying to avoid so great a danger for myself, and doing all I can to k<ep others from an end so common and so dread ful, I wiil take wine with you, il you wish rno to do so, for 1 know Vou are a reasonable woman; but I feel very sure that, ‘touch not, taste not,’ is the on'y saA: tule.” SShe replied, laughing. ‘Of course I’ll do it, or tiny thing e'so that yon request, but don’t expect me to be converted ; for you radical reformers always exaggerate dangers.” She went, and in half an hour re turned, pale, her eyes tilled with tears, exclaiming*: “Oh. Governor Briggs, how could yru ask me to do such a thing at a patty ? I ant appalled; it is so dreadful to find that 1 do not know a family that clots not number one victim, and some have had all their brightest and best full by it—lathers, husbands, children ;it is too dreadful to think of. I would not have believ ed it. You are quite right, and I wil) never ask you to drink vv'ne, nor ever call you fanatical for not taking it.” Let any one think over the victims of intemperance he has known, and he will be convinced that Infinate Wis dom wrote this warning, “Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup, when it movetti itself aright. At the last it bitelh like a serpnnt, and sting eth like an adder.” Whi'e I write this, I remember that my father, tho late Major B who was also a warm advocato of “total abstinence,’ told me about a dinner he once took with Judge a man of uncommon ability, and at that time honored aud esteemed. There was a decanter >.’/ wine on the table, and when Major B— declined it, saying, “I am a bel ever in the absti nence rule,” the judge replied, “How can a man of your sense and modera tion adopt suc h :m extreme opion ? One glass of wine a day has never hurt anybody yet, and never willand he drank his “rne glass,” and so did each of his three noble, promising sons who sat with him at the table. My fath er’s years were not prolonged to three score; hut long before he died Judge and his three sous had gone down to that grave over which our heavenly Father has written, “No drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of God.” Times are so dull in Bowling Green Kentucky, that hens lay lust years eggß - from drinking ice water oc curred in New York City last w.ok.

There was onco upon a time a man who kept a store end sold goods whole sale and retnii, who became melancholy because customers were shy aud times hard. And ho Raid, L>! Tam ruined and the sensation is disagreeable. And my ruin is more painful to bear bccauso it is slow in progress, oveu as wafer doth gradually become hotter in the pot, wherein the lobster boileth, un til the crnstaccous creature shrieketh out his soul in anguish. Lo! it is hotter to bo ruined quickly than to endure this slow torture. I w ill g.vo my money away to the poor man—oven the poorest, which is he that piinteth the newspapers ; and I will shut up my shop apd wrap myself in sackcloth of dosolation, and pnss my days in cursing the hardness of the times and rending my trowsers. Aud even as he sxid, to ho did; for he was not like other men’s sons who arc foolish and know it not, rnd they will do and so, performing that which is contrary. For the s< ns of men are fickle, and he that is bom of a woman dofh spite his face by dentally diminishing the length of tho nose thereof. And. lo ! the printer—even he who puhlishcth newspapers—was made glad by tho bounty of him who sold wholesale and retail; and he did sound his praises and print them moreover ; aDd did blow his trumpet, of fame retpccting that mans dealings from the rising of tho sun even to tho going down of the same. And he—even the printer of papers did magnify and enlarge upon the stock of goods which tho trader had io lit store, and did publish the variety, and the excellence, and the newness, and the beauty, and the cheapness thereof tiil the piople —yes, all of them, far aniFncar, were amazed. Aud (hey said, lo! this man hath gathered from the cast and west costly merchandise and wares of wondrous value ; even the workmanship of cunning artificers—aid wc knew it not. Go to, then. Wc will lav out our silver and geld in those things which the printer printed of and that which he doth publish shall be ours. Fur this man’s merchandise is better than the bank notes of those who promise to pay, and therein lie, even banks of de positc which beguile us of our money and swindle qs like sin. But the trader was still sad, and bo said the money that these people bring mo for the goods in my store i will give to the printer, and thun will I ruin my self’; I will do that which no one hath yet done in my time or before. I will make the printer man, whom all men scorn for his poverty, rich, arid lie shall be clad in fine linen and rejoice. And the sons of men shall meet him in the market place, and the shcrifl shall shun hint, and the scoffers shall be rebuked and shall take off their hats to him that was poor. And he shall flesh the dollars in the eyes of the foolish, and shall eat bank notes and sanlwichcs Yua, even shall ho light his pipe with cotton monev, and cast his spiltlo on the beard of other toon. For 1 shall ruin myself, and he who advertises me shall enjoy my : übstance. But lo ! iho trading man even he who sold merchandise, became rich, and even as the Cnoiean beast lieth in the mire, stirred he not bo reason of rnucb greenbacks. Aud the people flocked to his store from the .North, and from the South, from the East and from the West. Neitbftr did they ai k for credit, for the pi inter man —oven lie who though poor niakelh many rich —had told tho people they must, come down with the spondulicks, and they did even so. And the printer nj deed, and his “phat” did abound, and his “pi’* did not waste. But tho trid r could not become poor, aud his melancholy ceased, and the smiles of happiness were upon his face. And pin money did abound in tho poeket of his wife. And his children did becomo mighty in the land by rea son of the dollars which many of tho people who read his advertisements had poured into his money bags. A Wife Wlrat €rutv*. There is in this city a young marri ed woman whe is very strongly HI oted with a mat ia for imitating the crowing of the moruir.g cock, while ia a state of somnolence. We are assured that at the hour appointed by nature for chan ticleer to frighten nway the miupight prowlers from yawning graveyards, the fortunate husband of the ‘‘etowirg wife,” on the first night of his mar riage, was roused from Lis slumbers by a mjst lusty crowing. On opening his eyes, what was hit astor.isLm nt to behold his better half seated in the middle of the connubial couch of conju gal bliss, fl ipping her wings and crow ing m a most loud and clear voice, stretching out her nook after the most appraved rooster fashion ! Thrice did she thus ‘herald in the morn,’and tLcn sank back and slept on. In the morc iug he spike to her about, aud was r.ot more surprised than amused to learn that she had been born in the country, and that a favorit; ‘Shanghai,’ which roosted with his feathered family in tho h.n coop near the window of thema- j temal b;d chamber, frightened her mother by his loud crowing, arul thus •the child was ‘marked.’ And ever since she has been wont to wake tho the echoes of the coming dawn by imi tating ‘ye rooster’ and still, each morn she ‘flaps her wings and crows.’ : As the business of the husband re quires him to rise Tery early, he U rath- 1 1 r pleased than otherwise t», liud his wile possessed of this additional accom - No. plishment, which dispenses with tho no cesssity for an alarm clock, though having hoard his grandmother say that tho crowing of a hen indicated ill-lue l -, unlo h her bond were immediately cut off,’ ho is in some doubt whether, in or ih r to insure good fortune to hin house hold, ho is not in duty bound to stop liis wife’s crowing by solving ber mu sical throat. \Yc advise biut to let his “hen” crow on, so long as she does not ‘p ck’ him. Borne persons may question the truth of this remarkable incident; but we can assure such that it is true in every particular, and can be vouched for by responsible parties who have known the lady front infancy) and tho moral of it is, that ladies who do not desire “crowing children,” should not. sleep tco near the hen coop. —ltnhmovtl Ex. A Touching Passage —Ilow elo quently does C'haui’aubriaud reply to tho inquiry “Is there a God?” Our French brethren in Masonic error should receive this icason from their country-, men : ■’There B a God !
