THE GOLDEN SIDE. .
There is many a rose in the road of life,
If we would but stop to take it ,
And many atone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would make it;
To the sunny sons that is full of hope;
And whose beautiful trust ne'er taileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright.
Though the winter storm prevaileth.
Better t� hope, though clouds hang low,
And keep the eye still lifted,
For the 'sweet blue sky will still peep through,
When the ominous clouds are rifted.
There was never a night without a day,
Or an evening without a morning ;..
And the darkest hour, so the proverb goes,
Is the hour before' the dawning.
There is many a gem in the path of life,
Which we 'Sass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jewelled crown,
Or the miser's hoarded treasure ;
It may, be the love of a little child,
Or a mother's prayer to heaven,
Or only a beggar's grateful thanks,
For a cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and. golden 'filling,
And do God's work with a ready heart,
Ancl bands that are prompt and willing,
Than to snap the delicate minute threads
• Of our curious lives asunder,
And then blame heaven for thetangled ends;
And sit and grieve and wonder.

AN AUSTRALIkN STORY.
New South Wales is a ,colony peouliarly liable
to floods. Its rivers usually take their rise
amongst the mountain ranges of the interior, and
in the early part .of their course are joined by
numberless tributary streams. When the rainy
season has set in, which generally commences
about the middle of May, the down -pour some-
times continues for six weeks at a time, and then
these rivers overflow their banks and flood the
surrounding country far and near, forming in
many places miniature seas. Upon these occa-
sions hundreds of farmers are ruined, thousands
of sheep and cattle generally destroyed, and not
unfrequently many valuable lives lost. The
Weekly Dispatch, in a recent article on emigra-
tion to New South Wales, vihich, by -the -bye, is
more full of errors than it is of truisms, ignores
all this, When, in touching on farming, it speaks
in terms of Unqualified praise of the. rich lands ly-
ing in proximity to the rivers, as ifinthese locali-
ties the "new arrivals" should unhesitatingly
settle down. With all due deferelice to the Dis-
patch, I would remark that if any one desires to
run a great risk of being ruined every three years
. at the same time, veryprobably, of being drown-
ed into the bargain, he could not do better than
follow the advice tendered; but if he wishes to
thrive and grow rich with any degree of certainty
he could not adopt a more foolish plan.
Perpaps the clistrict liable to disastrous floods
in the whole colony is the broad vale of the Hun-
ter, where every few years thousands of acres are
submerged with a suddenness that is truly appall-
ing. Houses are frequently buried even above
the chimney -tops beneath the waters, which ra-
pidly form an inland sea of at least fifteen miles
long by nine or ten in breadth.
In the year 1851, I, being one of the Austra-
lian mounted police,* was quartered at Windsor,
a neat little township about eighteen miles dis-
tant from Sydney, the metropolis of the colony,
and fdr sorne months I had been chiefly engaged
in the arduous and by no means romantic duty of
hunting for illicit stills, of which it was supposed
there were several in the neighborhood: I cer-
-tainly did my best to discover their whereabouts
but was completely unsuccessful, and after tra-
versing the country day after day, in every kind
of disguise, until I must have travelled on foot
and on horseback many hundreds of miles, I at
last gave the matter up as a bad job.
If I had not discovered a still, I had, however,
in the course of my wanderings found what gave
me fat greater delight, for I had fallen across one
of the prettiest and most lovable little girls that
an Australian or any other sun ever done the ho-
nor of shining upon, and, what was better, I had
so ingratiated myself into her good graces as to
win her promise that she would never marry ahy
orie but me. •
1
Our acquaintance had commenced in a roman-
tic manner enough ; I had rescued her from a wild
cow, who would certainly have gored her had I
not inteposed and shot the brute. She was too
frightened to walk home alone, and so I accom-
panied her, was introduced to her parents as a
matter of course, and as they were profusein their
_thanks, and begged me henceforth to look upon
their house as my home, I simply took them at
their word, and thenceforth every other evening,
and sometimes eftener, my charger would be com-
fortably stalled for hours at a time in Farmer
Martin's stable and meanwhile the pretty Ger-
trude and myself would either be wandering by
the river side, studying poetry, together in the
old summer -house, or, as the told weather drew
on, playing chegs in the snug little back parlor.
Thus matters continued until the rainy season
set in, but instead of being deterred by.the stea-
dy 'down -pours, my visits became, if possible,
more numerous than ever, and thmugh the slus-
hy lowlands, where the water Was often up to my
horses' knees, I nightly jogged, like amarine Cen-
taur to visit my inamorata. -
Ey-and-by the farmer's suspicions were arous-
ed. " Could it be possible that a naountedtroop-
er -wearing Her il‘lajesty's uniform would ride
nightly nine Milfs through mud and slush, and
thunder and ligildning, and rain and wind, to
drink a glass of grog and smoke a pipe with an
old man of sixty ?" So soliloquized the farmer,
and his whole stock of common sense, of which
he had an abundant supply, emphatically answer-
ed the mental query with "Not a bit of it !"
"It's the girl he's after, and it's time to put a
stop to the nonsense," was the conclusion he ar-
rived at, and so the very next evening that I rode
over,. before Gertrude and I could half finish our
third game at chess, Mr. Makin put his head in-
to the room, and said, in a dry, dignified kind ,of
way— t.
*The Australian mounted police number as
many gentleman of good birth and education in
their ranks as any crack English cavalry regiment
does araongst its officers. • The life of a trooper
has always been thelast _resource of the poor gen-
tleman, wholhaving .no profession at his ' finger's
ends, cannot digs and to beg is ashamed. k
•WHOLE NO. 137.
"Hem! Could I speak with you a few min-
utes in the front parlor, Mr. Rush !"
I think I knew then what was coming, and so
cid Gertrude, for she grew very pale and upset
the board in her agitation, so that kings, queens,
bishops, knights, and all tke smaller fry went roll-
ing over the floor. I followed the old gentleman
into the apartment indicated, that horrid room
wherein everything was buried 'either in chintzess,
or wrapped round with yellow muslin, and.where-
, in afire was never lighted more than once oetwice
A a year. Here he opened the trenches, not angri-
ly, but calmly, determinedly, cold-bloodedly in-
formed me that his daughter never could be mine
for that he was a tolerably rich man, and he had
resolved never to wed his child to one who was
not possessed of itportion equal to her own.
In vain I told him how much I loved his daugh-
ter, that she loved me in • return, ae,d that we
could never exist apart from each other. The
old man smiled sarcastically at my raphsodies,
and pointing to my unifoim, said—
" The man whose very coat is not his Own, and
whose pay is never likely to exceed seven -and -
six -pence a day, cannot wed rny heireaa.
He laid a strong stress on the last word, and I
don't know what possessed me to retort—
"And what may be the extent of your present
wealth, Mr. Martin ?"
, The question was certainly a rude one, but the
old gentlemau did not take it as such, and an-
swered simply—
" Well, three months ago I had four thousand
pounds in the Bank of Australasia, but I have ta-
ken itall out and expended it in the purchase of ad-
ditional stock and improvements on my farm,
Mr. Rush; 1 dare say I am worth twelve thou-
sand pounds at the least, and Gertrude will be
the sole possessor thereof when I and her mother
are dead."
"Than you don't object to me in myself, Mr.
Martin, but only because I am poor," I said, bit-
terly. _
"Just so, my boy—I object on principle; but
to show you that I bear you no personal
come into the kitchen, and we will honor your
last evening amongst us by a glass of my best
grog, and tobacco, such as you have not tasted
for many a long day."
" Stay yet a moment," I cried. "Were I as
rich a man as yourself, Mr. Martin, would you
give me your child?"
Ay, that would I, lad, right willingly."
And directly I am as rich as you, if Gertrude
is then single, will you consent to our marriage?"
Verily I will, on my word of honor, Mr. Rush
But why talk of impossibilities?" he added.
"Where are you going to raise a sudden for-
tuneV'
"Ali, where was I ?" • My heart sank as I ask-
ed myself that question, and -1 followed the old
farmer into the kitchen in almost heartbroken si-
lence.
A bright fire .was blazing on the hearth, for
grates are still very ram in Australia—in fact;
they would be ill adapted to hold the great logs
of red -gum and shea-oak that form the invaria-
ble fuel. Presently glasses and pipes were laid
on the table, and I did my best to rekindle hope
within my breast by the aid of Holland§ and `Bar-
ret's twist,' though with very ill success.
On the other side of the fire sat Mrs. Martin,
a comely dame of fifty years, fully as broad. as
she was long, and with a mind wholly given -to
the concerns of the dairy and the manufacture of
orange marmalade.
Gertrude, knowing that something was wrong,
but scarcely geessing what, nestled up to my
side, and to my great joy her father did notcheck
her. And thus we sat for a long while, neither
of us speaking a word, but listening to the pat-
tering ram and howling wind without, and to the
groaning of the great forest trees.as their branch-
es were swayed and tossed by the blast.
Anon there came another sound, a loud but yet
soothing murmur, like the sighing :a a summer
breeze amid a cork wood.. No one seemed to no-
tice it but myself, and I only did so 'as wonder-
ing how so gentle and musical a sound couldmake
itself audible above the uproar of wind and tem-
pest. Suddenly, however, there broke upon our
ears the dashing open of a gate, and a man's voice
shouting, " Martin! Martin! if you value your
life look sharp !—the river has overflowed its
banks—the waters are out !" And we heard the
splash, splash, of his horses feet as the warning
visitant rode away.
"Water out! impos' sible !" muttered the old
farmer. "Why, bless my heart! the river was
not on a level with its banks by a good six inches
this morning, and we've had no ram to speak of
since."
You don't know what weather it has been
amongst the mountains, though Mr. Martin," I
said; "and hark! put your ears to the floor ; by
heavens the warning Wag a timely one, we have
net a minute to lose!"
We all bent our heads and listened, and now we
could plainly hear a hollow gurgling sound _under
our feet, and little jests of spray leaped up be-
tween the crevices of the floor. The house, ac-
cording to a commoncustom in the colonies, was
built on piles, and thus the down stair rooms were
aboutthree feet above the ground, between which
and the flooring the angry waters were now fret-
ting and fuming, and dashing against the stout
wood -work with momentarily increa,sIng power.
The women began to cry—the farmer was too
stupefied to move.
"This will never do," 1 said ; "there is not a
moment to be lost. I can take one of you up be-
hindme on my horse, and I know that Carlo and
I will pull through it somehow; the rest ha,dbet-
ter get up -stairs, or, if possible, on the top roof,
an.d with the first peep of dawn I'll send a boat
to bring you off. Now, then, who is to go with
me !"
I was very mu& afraid that Martin would bid.
me take the old lady, but both the -parents cried
out to me to save Gertrude. I lost lie time in
acting. I flew to the front_ door, ran down the
four steps that led to the garden, and with thewater
over the tops of myNapoleon boots, made my way
to the stable. Mine was the only steed there,
for Australian settlers seldom stall, their horses,
and the poor fellow was very miserable , and
frightened. I did not stop to reassure him, how-
ever, but had him round to the house door in a
minute, and then, Gertrude, after bidding a weep-
ing adieu to,her parents, ,sprang up behind me,
and away we dashed into storm and tempest.
It was indeed a wild and fearful night. The
moon shone brightly, and every minute or two
her light was obscured by black pall -like clouds,.
that were tearing with mad velocity across the sky,
and then it was so dark that I could not see my
horse's head before Me. In the brietintervals of
ghastly white light I could peroeive that we were -
surrounded by a sea of waters; scarcely a speck
of dry land was to be seen. True, the flood was
as yet very shallow, scarcely above Carlo's knees,
but I knew how rapidly it would deepen, and I
urged the goou steed in the direction of the town
as quickly as possible.
Gertrude's arms encircled my waist, and they
clung to me -with fear. Often I turned my
head to speak to he -a few words of encourage-
ment and hope, but I was too anxious to secure
her safety and my own to say much. She was
warmly wrapped up ire shawls, and as she was an
excellent horse -woman-, I had little fear of her
falling off, though the wind was blowing strong
enough to.whirl her from the seat.
Before we had gone more than a mile from the
farm, the rain recommenced with redoubled fury,
and in a few minutes we were both of us wet
through. The wind, too, grew from a gale into a
hurricane, and amid the continuous roar of the
thunder, and flash of the pale lightning, we could
see boughs of trees hurling through the air, and
now and then heard a mighty crash of some aged
monarch of the plain fell prone to the earth.
Suddenly a flash of forked lightning darted
right across Carlo's eyes,and with a snort of ter-
,
in the water, a cry, and the darkness hidler from
baTckh.e excitem
presently she. was again seated on Carlo's broad
way to despair, another. flash of lightning reveal-
edhe reared nearly upright.
my sight. Just, however, as I was about to give
ed her to me standing amid the flood, at not a
dozen yard's distanee. I spurred towards her, and
from slipping off. '
throw my right arm around her to prevent her
I was too late—she had fallen. I heard a splash
"Hold on, Gertrude," I cried, endeavoming to
ent of this event, and the turning
of my horse round and round in guest of -her, had
made meforget the proper direction to town, so
that we now rode not knowirig whither we were
heading.
Meanwhile the waters had grown deeper each
moment, and presently I discovered that Carlo
was swimming, I had not felt fear until now,
but I must confess that a great dread crept over
me when I discovered that whichever way I guid-
ed my charger he could not touch the ground. I
knew that, weighted as he was; he could not keep
afloat for long, and each moment he seemed to
sink lower and lower into the water.
At this critical juncture of affairs the moon
shone out again, and lit up the scene as though
it had been broad daylight. Far as the eye could.
reach not a speek of dry land was visible, but to
rny great joy I perceived that near us stood a
huge blue gum -tree, whose boughs were so di..
posed as easily to be scaled. .
"Do you think you can climb that tree, Ger-
trude? It is our only hope," I said. '
She answered feebly in the affirmative,
and with some little difficulty I swam Carlo along=
side. -
Under the tree he regained his footing, and I
was glad of this, for he was thus enabled to stand
steady for my poor little companion to claniber
into the lowest branches from his back. When
she had effected this, I took off his bridle so that
he wouldnot catch his feet in i` if he had again to
swim for his life, and then Gertrude and I got
some twenty feet higher in the "blue -gum," and
paused to rest. .
Shawls and wraps had. long ago fallen off her
and been lost, and now poor Gertrude was exposed
to all the inclemency of the weather in the low-
necked, short -sleeved dress that she hadworn du-
ring the evening. - How her beautiful -moulded
and snow-white arms were scratched by the
rough tree -bark in climbing, and as the rain
poured down through the vertical foliage, the
drops glittered on her polished shoulders and
trickled down her hair.
"Why, Gertrude, you look a veritable Undine,"
I said,- and having no cape or overcoat to protect
her, I doffed my uniform jacket and made her
put it on. We then sat side by side, and. putting
my arm around her neck, I told her all about my
interview with her father that evening.
"And did papa really say that as soon as you
were as rich as himself he would let you marry
me, Willie ?"
"Yes, Gertrude, he gave me his word and hon-
or to that effect."
"Then he will not break it," she replied.
"Poor papa, this night lia.s made him a ruined -
man ; and all his wealth was ineested in im-
provements on his land and increasing his stock.
It is all lost now, so that youlivrey.,, claim me
sooner than you thought for,
This view of the case had never stauck me be-
fore, and 1 nearlyjumped off the gum-tree'in, f
fear. a most selfish ecstasy of delight. I had to
'control my feellio„es, however, and exert all my
powers in comfortiug Gertrude, who, now that
the excitement attending our own escape was ov-
er, began to entertain a thousand fears respecting
the fate of her parents. At last I succeeded in
convincing her that A was a matter of impossibil-
ity for the flood to cover- the hcnise before rescue
came in the morning, and thereupon she grew
more composed, and our thoughts reverted to our
hopes and fears, and amid the pelting rain and
howling wind. and the close sultry atmosphere,
and the still rapidly rising waters below, she
nestled in my alms, and we talked. of the future
until the cold grey dawn aroused us from our
seventh heaven of bliss.
Well, to make a long story short, after another
three hours' perch we perceived some boats com-
ing from the direction of Windsor, and by the aid
of a brilliant scarlet handkerchief th at I fortunate-
ly possessed, we signalled them, attracted their
attention, and were in due- time taken 011 board.
At my instigation we then rowed to Mr. Martin's
farm, and saved the old gentleman an lady from
a chimney -top whereon they were both sitting
with their legs crooked up out of the flood. - We
were only just in time ; that chimney -pot, an'
hour later, was under water. -
Two months later Gertrude • Martin became
Mrs. William Rush. The old man kept his word
and our position was not so bad after all, for
three weeks previous to my marriage a distant
relstive in England died, leaving me an annuity
of £100, so that with the addition of my pay, 7s.
6c1, a day, we began housekeeping very comforta-
bly.
Mr. Martin has retrieved hit losses and now
possesses a capital farm at Parramatta. He has
abjured for ever the rich alluvial lands bordering
on flood -devastating rivers.

San Diego, has a new paper. At first thonght
it might appear that there is not muc-h especial-
ly worthy of note in that fact, but the way
in which it speaks of itself shows that such
a suspicion would be very cruel and unjust, both
to the editor and the San Diegans, present and
prospective. It puts the matter this: "The
advent of the Bulletin in San Diego is an era in
her history, which will be looked back upon by
future generations as one of the most important;
and as such should receive the support of each

These "bulls" are net all of Irish origin. It
was the mayor of a Portuguese city who once en-
umerated among the marks by which the body of
a drowned man might be indentified, "a marked
impediment in his speech." General Taylor wait
made ridiculous for a time by the sentence which
occurred near the be„ainningpf his message sent
to the Thirty-first Conerets, December, 1840,
as follows :— are at peace with all the world,
and seek to maintain our cherished relations `of
atuity.with the rest of mankind." Mr. Buchan-
an almost matched it in a speech svhich he made
at the South, in wnich he said :—"I do believe,
gentlemen, that mankind, as well as the people
of the United States, are interested in the Ire -
servation of the Union ;" and John C. Calhoun,
commenting on the clause in the declaration of
Independienee, to the effect that all men are cre-
ated equal, remarked that "Only tsvo men were
created, and one of these was a woman !"
o A PArisian widower, who ,greatly regretted his
wife, had her buried in the cemetry of Mount
Parna.sse. He put up no monument of marble or
stone—only a small garden and a very small in-
scription marked the spot where his lost partner
lay. First, some nasturtiums were planted over
her grave—the deceaied was fond of nastskiums.
These were gathered on Sunday and eaten as a,
salad. This attempt having been successful,
bolder measures were adopted, and little pink
radishes grew there, as if by chance. The -official
in charge of the -cemetry said nothing untillast
autumn, when he became aware of the presence
of two enormais melons in the little enclosure.
This time police regulations were put in force,
and this new form of market gardening was
brought to a close by the bereaved husband tw-
ine. requested to withdraw from the0 cemetry;
whuch he did, complaining bitterly of 00 cruelty,
and saying that he had so particularly veined
the vegetables grown upon the grave, and eating
them with peculiar satisfaction, beouse he felt
they were offered. him by his Zoe. ;
In New Orleans "the first verdict under the
Social Equality law" has been thesource of much
amusement The jury, in the first place, was
naixed to a remarkable degree and contained Af-
ricans, Croles, Germans, and hishmen of course
Spaniard -8, Frenchmen and native Americans.
this was a jury de medietate lingue With a verse
gence. The strongest argument made against the
-principle of the law under which the case was
tried, was delivered by full-blooded black, -who
intelligently enough remarked, "Now, gentle-
men the law, if it is a law, is all nonsence. 15.

genteel, according to my notione, to go anywhar

icals on the jury found it in vain to preacb hu-
man rights against this logic. Agreement, how-
ever, was impossible. To increase the fun, the
Celtic juror declared that he had Made 'up his
