But I will tell the story of that wondrous spot acs IT herd it told while sitting about a camp-fire high up in the Sierras, above the gteat Yo § emite’s mis ty v alley. ‘The narrator was a ¥#ather-beaten, “ sountain man,” whose jong, straggling locks the snows of fifty wintert bad tinged w gray but not Whi tened; and his #tidience—f znd easy miners. Tite Story cF Tre Turer four years ago eighteen men left grant road and struck off ! ard the south part of California, inte Praks.—Some beaten emiplai cross the Sieara Nevada by some pass in Mari-; fil posa County. Svon, however, they lost their way and wandered about among the rocky hi of a barren, desert count feri . from want of water. Th aniniais soon per. ishod from the effects of alkali waiter, and soon from the same cause the men began to drop off, till but seven were left alive. The survivors toiled on, they knew tict whither: blinded by the reliation of heat from the sand; t rm alized by deceitful mirages, and at tines without Water of . any kind for sttch a length of time as to hacome almost frantic froit thirst. At lencth, when on the point of throwing themselves upon tha sand to die, they beheld, on fesching the summit of a hill, timber and what had the appearance of grass but a short distance abead. Hurrving forward as fatt as their worn, jaded condi would admit, they found themselves on the rim of an extensive basin or valley, which lay partly enelosed by three high mountains. On the slopes of these mountains were groves of pino and @ther trees and shrubs, while the low hills lying in the valley wete xiso covered with trees and grass. But what most of all elated them was the sight of a stream of water, with Willoty borders, meandering throuch a broal meadow and losing itself ina lake which sparkled far down the valley. On reaching the stream they found the water swect and good, and throwing themselves down, rashly gave theuisel¥es up to their unquenchable thirst, and in consequence four of them died in less than ten hour: af er teaching the vailet. The survivors buried their dead friends by laying them between two large focks and covering them up witi stones. They now b€zav to look about them and consider theif situation. By climbing up the sides of the mounts#ins they had a view of the country about and their hearts fainted within them on finding themselves surrounded on all sides by a pare! sterile waste of sand. Two were for rema aad ending their days in the valley rather than Fisk the pangs of hunger, thirst and death on . the desert—the other was for making an attempt to cross the desert to the west and reach California by keeping along the Sierra Nevadas until a practicable pass sheu'd be found, through which to cross; but was at length induced by his . companions to abandon, or at least defer, the attempt—thoy on their part agreeing that their, flour, of which they had some twenty pounds, should be carefully laid up and aaved for the . journey—should they at some future time conclude to make the attempt to reach Caliornia. They set to work with their knites and built a! sort of but of willows, as a protection from the . cold night winds and dew hile sleeping, for . being withott biankets they wefe so chilled st night as to be timable to get much sleep; but hating finished their house, by building their fire in front of the door, they were able to sleep im tolerable comfort, and having gathered sevefal bundles of dry flag from the shores of the iake, did not so much feel the want of blankets. There was plenty of game in their valley, and droves of deer and antelope often came to drink at the stream quite near theif doo? and showed but little fear on being approached, only running a short distance before wheeling about: but having thfown @@ay their guns and revolvers before reaching the vailey they could only feast in imagination on the fat venison steaks so femptlingly displayed every day at their door. . nstead of venison, however, they had plenty of frogs and such smail deer, on which they . “fared ~umptuously every day.” Their flour’ they had stowed away in a hollow log, and . blocked it in with stones, fearing that if left in the hut some animal might Cestroy it, and with . it their means of eseape from the vailey. There} was an abundance of bare on the hills and flats, . but, though quiie tame, they were only able once . { saffering on in a while, and quite by accident, to secure one by knocking it over with astone. But fhere as no searcity of frogs and they grev to te qllite . expert at knocking theny on the head with a long or rod; and they even eaught a few . small fish, something similar to rock-bass or sun-fish, by rigging a hook from the wice of a suspender buckle, with a line from the ravelings . of ashirt. They searched the hills, valleys and . giens in every direction for berries, but were . never able to’find any, though they found briars’ and vines which had the appearance of having Borne fruit earlier in the season. One day one of the men came rushing inte the but with the i én j he lay. . ground and . . in the end, . stake. . toe . neme of “the hlootly infernal;” and, indeed, . they soon had cause to feel that it was rightly } pa exhau j to cat fr ! and they . ing a hut of stone and re . the gravel of the dry gulehes ang picking ir . him to remain. glorious news that he had killed adeer.

F mtinced and followed him in h spirits to the “pot: They found the deer dead enough, ftr be tas literally split open from . one end to the othet, and his bowels lay strewing . his ttacks from the blood-reeking trap to where . s trap was made by driving a stout, . of some six fect in length, into the . hing a bowie-knife fast in a split ih a manner as ts stand point . upward when the pole was bent down near the .

However. . the nity Was overcoiiie bv using an old wool . hat for adough-tro pendanee, : and the baking was done . . hy sticking the eake to a fiat stone and standing . it before the fire. Havine baked their breed and dried a quantity of frogs, nothing now remained to do but venture forth on the desert.— They determined on starting in the evening, as by so doing they would be well on their way across the sandy waste befir: the heat of the day ev>rtook them. They had tried in vain to make a bag or bot. tle of the skin of the deer to hold water, but all . they made were useless, and they lamented their . short in not stripping off the skin from ita lees, as thus they would have had inst what they wanted to held water for their journey. Tlowever, their hottles were handy for holding their gold; and one of the baes answered as a sort of moccasin for one of the men in place of his hoot. which being found water tieht, they had taken for a canteen. Before starting they visited, for the last time, the spot where ther had buried their friends and atded 9 few more stones to the pile already heaped over . them and strek a few cuftings of willow abont . their tomb, which was all they conld do for them. . An hour before sundown they left their hut and started across the valley to the weat. a‘terhaltine tolook back on the meadows, and croves. and . brooks, and at sunset stood on the rim of their vallev. Before them lay the silent and dreary desert. behind. enlivened hy the evening notes of numerous singing birds, the grassy knolls. . shaty croves, and rills and fountains of what . was once. but now no longer to he. their own! htedness enti valley. Two were for returning and ending . their lives in the ¥alley, declaring they would j stav where they could at least have water.— } Their companion urged them to he men, to pluck . up courage and not he frightened at a desert plain which they could cross in a day or two, perhaps. But they only begged the more for} They threw their gold at his . feet, offering it all to him if he would only é6nsent to return, not thinking in their earnestness that what they thus offered him was, should he accept it, of no more value than the rocks about them. At last, by representing the danger of staying in the valley during the winter, which was fast coiiing on, when they would most . likely perish from cold, they were induced to . ¢ommence the journey. But even after having gone some distance down the hill fro4¥ the ¥ailey the maa who was wounded by the trap de. elared he would go no farther until he had gone back and taken a last look at the valley which . had so long sheltered hint. Seating themselves on the sand the two nicer awaited their companions return. Tt waslong before he came and on jand returned to the valley. seen and her the Sierras or a spur from them and . y determined to make the attempt to . well as they could by piling over him several Ob returning to their friend, whom they had lef. . nt of his wounded arm being ; i) me running out to meet them . with his hands full of what he supposed to be . Neithe¥ of them had ever seen gold in its dare Venture to use but a few drops of water as the man who was carrying it had stumbled and fallen, spilling nearly the whole of it. They traveled till late the second night and all the next day. Their stock of water wae now entirely spent, and though they had examined every ravine they passed and looked anxiou¥ly from the top of every hill, not a drop of water was to be found. At night they sat dozing about their sage root fire and at dawn again resumed their journey. They would, no doubt, have given up and fallen fainting on the sand but fora kind of prickly-pear which grew in the sand in great abundance and the thick sue* culent leaf of which afforded a considerable amount of slightly acid juice on being chewed. Two of the men constantly chewed these leaves, but the other, the wounded man, could hardly be persuaded to touch them; indeed, he had acted strangely ever since leaving the valley. He would stop and stand gazing back toward the valley, and would het or heed nothing until shaken and atoused, when he would tii¥ti meekly about atid resume the journey, saying in a low sorrowful tone, “ Yes, yee, I #ill go a little further to please y¢u; I could die hete as well, but—yes, yes, to please you I will go a littie futther“the boys in the valley are lonesome, the fire has gtne ottt at the hut, T must go back, but to please you can go 8 little further—you will go over the mountains, but one of ¥ou will soon come back to stay in the valley with nie and the boys.” This he repeated over and again very many title} during the day. His words and manner struck a chill to their hearts, they feared he might have become insane, but he had no wild look, his eyes met theirs with a calm sorrowful gaze, his voice low and sad, but steady. He scemed to have lost all desire to reach Calij fornia, or to go any where but back -t¢ the Valley, yet since the first night he had never once asked to return, though his eyes, when resting !at noon and night, were always turned toward the Three Peaks. At times they were almost orry they had not yielded-to his persuasions On this evening they tamped on a little knoll, built a fire of sage roots i ate sparingly of their seanty store, then huddled about the fire to doze. The wounded man sat as usual, gazing toward the new distant peaks of his loved valley. Having ken to him several times without arousing him, oné of the men said, “I am sorry [ ever sisted on your leaving the valley, and if I {thought you would be sourself again would be tempied to return.” The words were hardly spoken before he who } had hefore seemed so utterly unconcious of all that was said to him, sprang to his fect, his . usually ealm eyes all ina blaze. exclaiming— “The boys are calling! they like the stone we put over them: they like the willows we planted, . but the fire at the hut has gone out and they are lonesoiie. Park! they'reealling!* We . datted from the fire and in an instant was ott of sight. Themen left thus suddoniy hy their . compannion gat gazing on each other for some momehts in silent horrer at the words and sudden flight of their friend. “ Hehas cone mad!” at leneth exclaimed one of the men, “ we must find him.” They searcbed long, but in vain, and were foreed to fettirn to camp and wait for daylight. . As soon as it was light they took the track of . the missing man in the sand aid followed it . . down the ‘hills, the strides being often so great that the . knoll; on, on it went, over the low two men many times stopped and gazed into each other's face with looks of superstitious terror frozen into every line of their countenances. At last. on reaching the summit of a hill near two miles from the camp, they found him. He . was sitting with his back resting against a clump of sage brush, bis eyes staring on and his arms stretched out toward the Three Peaks, which were now rosy in the first blush of dawo. They hook him to arouse him—he was dead! The two men were stricken with a sudden terror and fled from the spoi, but soon gathered sufficient courage to return and burv their dead friend as layers of sage brush and rocks. They returned to the eamp and sadly resumed their journey, and before noou, to their great joy, found in a rocky ravine a small stream of water trickling aniong the stones. Here they stayed a day or two catching crickets, frogs and snails, to eke out their fast failing stock ef provisions. After afew more days of hardship they reached the Sierra and crossing over into Mariposa County eventiially reached Coulterville. immediately taken sick. had heen his companion in all his hardships that he was going to die and wished him to remain with him the few days he had to live. Said he, ; “vou remember what he always used to say, . that we would co over the monntains but that one of us would return to stay with him and the beys in the valley. Iknew he meant me—TI al. ways knew by the cold feeling that come over me when he said it that it would be me, and besides you"never wanted to stay there, and were alwaye so strong and dstermined.” A few days later and the sick man was dying, his old companion and a few new-fotind friends stood about lis couch ; be had apparently ceased to breathe: those about glanced toward each other a look that said “ poor fellow, all is over with him.” When of a Sudden the dving man raised himself in his couch and with blazing eyes and outstretched arms exelaimed—* he is there! he looks toward me! the fire is blazing hefore the but, [ must go!” He fell forward on his couch and on being raised life had forever fled.

But I will tell the story of that wondrous spot acs IT herd it told while sitting about a camp-fire high up in the Sierras, above the gteat Yo § emite’s mis ty v alley. ‘The narrator was a ¥#ather-beaten, “ sountain man,” whose jong, straggling locks the snows of fifty wintert bad tinged w gray but not Whi tened; and his #tidience—f znd easy miners. Tite Story cF Tre Turer four years ago eighteen men left grant road and struck off ! ard the south part of California, inte Praks.—Some beaten emiplai cross the Sieara Nevada by some pass in Mari-; fil posa County. Svon, however, they lost their way and wandered about among the rocky hi of a barren, desert count feri . from want of water. Th aniniais soon per. ishod from the effects of alkali waiter, and soon from the same cause the men began to drop off, till but seven were left alive. The survivors toiled on, they knew tict whither: blinded by the reliation of heat from the sand; t rm alized by deceitful mirages, and at tines without Water of . any kind for sttch a length of time as to hacome almost frantic froit thirst. At lencth, when on the point of throwing themselves upon tha sand to die, they beheld, on fesching the summit of a hill, timber and what had the appearance of grass but a short distance abead. Hurrving forward as fatt as their worn, jaded condi would admit, they found themselves on the rim of an extensive basin or valley, which lay partly enelosed by three high mountains. On the slopes of these mountains were groves of pino and @ther trees and shrubs, while the low hills lying in the valley wete xiso covered with trees and grass. But what most of all elated them was the sight of a stream of water, with Willoty borders, meandering throuch a broal meadow and losing itself ina lake which sparkled far down the valley. On reaching the stream they found the water swect and good, and throwing themselves down, rashly gave theuisel¥es up to their unquenchable thirst, and in consequence four of them died in less than ten hour: af er teaching the vailet. The survivors buried their dead friends by laying them between two large focks and covering them up witi stones. They now b€zav to look about them and consider theif situation. By climbing up the sides of the mounts#ins they had a view of the country about and their hearts fainted within them on finding themselves surrounded on all sides by a pare! sterile waste of sand. Two were for rema aad ending their days in the valley rather than Fisk the pangs of hunger, thirst and death on . the desert—the other was for making an attempt to cross the desert to the west and reach California by keeping along the Sierra Nevadas until a practicable pass sheu'd be found, through which to cross; but was at length induced by his . companions to abandon, or at least defer, the attempt—thoy on their part agreeing that their, flour, of which they had some twenty pounds, should be carefully laid up and aaved for the . journey—should they at some future time conclude to make the attempt to reach Caliornia. They set to work with their knites and built a! sort of but of willows, as a protection from the . cold night winds and dew hile sleeping, for . being withott biankets they wefe so chilled st night as to be timable to get much sleep; but hating finished their house, by building their fire in front of the door, they were able to sleep im tolerable comfort, and having gathered sevefal bundles of dry flag from the shores of the iake, did not so much feel the want of blankets. There was plenty of game in their valley, and droves of deer and antelope often came to drink at the stream quite near theif doo? and showed but little fear on being approached, only running a short distance before wheeling about: but having thfown @@ay their guns and revolvers before reaching the vailey they could only feast in imagination on the fat venison steaks so femptlingly displayed every day at their door. . nstead of venison, however, they had plenty of frogs and such smail deer, on which they . “fared ~umptuously every day.” Their flour’ they had stowed away in a hollow log, and . blocked it in with stones, fearing that if left in the hut some animal might Cestroy it, and with . it their means of eseape from the vailey. There} was an abundance of bare on the hills and flats, . but, though quiie tame, they were only able once . { saffering on in a while, and quite by accident, to secure one by knocking it over with astone. But fhere as no searcity of frogs and they grev to te qllite . expert at knocking theny on the head with a long or rod; and they even eaught a few . small fish, something similar to rock-bass or sun-fish, by rigging a hook from the wice of a suspender buckle, with a line from the ravelings . of ashirt. They searched the hills, valleys and . giens in every direction for berries, but were . never able to’find any, though they found briars’ and vines which had the appearance of having Borne fruit earlier in the season. One day one of the men came rushing inte the but with the i én j he lay. . ground and . . in the end, . stake. . toe . neme of “the hlootly infernal;” and, indeed, . they soon had cause to feel that it was rightly } pa exhau j to cat fr ! and they . ing a hut of stone and re . the gravel of the dry gulehes ang picking ir . him to remain. glorious news that he had killed adeer.

F mtinced and followed him in h spirits to the “pot: They found the deer dead enough, ftr be tas literally split open from . one end to the othet, and his bowels lay strewing . his ttacks from the blood-reeking trap to where . s trap was made by driving a stout, . of some six fect in length, into the . hing a bowie-knife fast in a split ih a manner as ts stand point . upward when the pole was bent down near the .

However. . the nity Was overcoiiie bv using an old wool . hat for adough-tro pendanee, : and the baking was done . . hy sticking the eake to a fiat stone and standing . it before the fire. Havine baked their breed and dried a quantity of frogs, nothing now remained to do but venture forth on the desert.— They determined on starting in the evening, as by so doing they would be well on their way across the sandy waste befir: the heat of the day ev>rtook them. They had tried in vain to make a bag or bot. tle of the skin of the deer to hold water, but all . they made were useless, and they lamented their . short in not stripping off the skin from ita lees, as thus they would have had inst what they wanted to held water for their journey. Tlowever, their hottles were handy for holding their gold; and one of the baes answered as a sort of moccasin for one of the men in place of his hoot. which being found water tieht, they had taken for a canteen. Before starting they visited, for the last time, the spot where ther had buried their friends and atded 9 few more stones to the pile already heaped over . them and strek a few cuftings of willow abont . their tomb, which was all they conld do for them. . An hour before sundown they left their hut and started across the valley to the weat. a‘terhaltine tolook back on the meadows, and croves. and . brooks, and at sunset stood on the rim of their vallev. Before them lay the silent and dreary desert. behind. enlivened hy the evening notes of numerous singing birds, the grassy knolls. . shaty croves, and rills and fountains of what . was once. but now no longer to he. their own! htedness enti valley. Two were for returning and ending . their lives in the ¥alley, declaring they would j stav where they could at least have water.— } Their companion urged them to he men, to pluck . up courage and not he frightened at a desert plain which they could cross in a day or two, perhaps. But they only begged the more for} They threw their gold at his . feet, offering it all to him if he would only é6nsent to return, not thinking in their earnestness that what they thus offered him was, should he accept it, of no more value than the rocks about them. At last, by representing the danger of staying in the valley during the winter, which was fast coiiing on, when they would most . likely perish from cold, they were induced to . ¢ommence the journey. But even after having gone some distance down the hill fro4¥ the ¥ailey the maa who was wounded by the trap de. elared he would go no farther until he had gone back and taken a last look at the valley which . had so long sheltered hint. Seating themselves on the sand the two nicer awaited their companions return. Tt waslong before he came and on jand returned to the valley. seen and her the Sierras or a spur from them and . y determined to make the attempt to . well as they could by piling over him several Ob returning to their friend, whom they had lef. . nt of his wounded arm being ; i) me running out to meet them . with his hands full of what he supposed to be . Neithe¥ of them had ever seen gold in its dare Venture to use but a few drops of water as the man who was carrying it had stumbled and fallen, spilling nearly the whole of it. They traveled till late the second night and all the next day. Their stock of water wae now entirely spent, and though they had examined every ravine they passed and looked anxiou¥ly from the top of every hill, not a drop of water was to be found. At night they sat dozing about their sage root fire and at dawn again resumed their journey. They would, no doubt, have given up and fallen fainting on the sand but fora kind of prickly-pear which grew in the sand in great abundance and the thick sue* culent leaf of which afforded a considerable amount of slightly acid juice on being chewed. Two of the men constantly chewed these leaves, but the other, the wounded man, could hardly be persuaded to touch them; indeed, he had acted strangely ever since leaving the valley. He would stop and stand gazing back toward the valley, and would het or heed nothing until shaken and atoused, when he would tii¥ti meekly about atid resume the journey, saying in a low sorrowful tone, “ Yes, yee, I #ill go a little further to please y¢u; I could die hete as well, but—yes, yes, to please you I will go a littie futther“the boys in the valley are lonesome, the fire has gtne ottt at the hut, T must go back, but to please you can go 8 little further—you will go over the mountains, but one of ¥ou will soon come back to stay in the valley with nie and the boys.” This he repeated over and again very many title} during the day. His words and manner struck a chill to their hearts, they feared he might have become insane, but he had no wild look, his eyes met theirs with a calm sorrowful gaze, his voice low and sad, but steady. He scemed to have lost all desire to reach Calij fornia, or to go any where but back -t¢ the Valley, yet since the first night he had never once asked to return, though his eyes, when resting !at noon and night, were always turned toward the Three Peaks. At times they were almost orry they had not yielded-to his persuasions On this evening they tamped on a little knoll, built a fire of sage roots i ate sparingly of their seanty store, then huddled about the fire to doze. The wounded man sat as usual, gazing toward the new distant peaks of his loved valley. Having ken to him several times without arousing him, oné of the men said, “I am sorry [ ever sisted on your leaving the valley, and if I {thought you would be sourself again would be tempied to return.” The words were hardly spoken before he who } had hefore seemed so utterly unconcious of all that was said to him, sprang to his fect, his . usually ealm eyes all ina blaze. exclaiming— “The boys are calling! they like the stone we put over them: they like the willows we planted, . but the fire at the hut has gone out and they are lonesoiie. Park! they'reealling!* We . datted from the fire and in an instant was ott of sight. Themen left thus suddoniy hy their . compannion gat gazing on each other for some momehts in silent horrer at the words and sudden flight of their friend. “ Hehas cone mad!” at leneth exclaimed one of the men, “ we must find him.” They searcbed long, but in vain, and were foreed to fettirn to camp and wait for daylight. . As soon as it was light they took the track of . the missing man in the sand aid followed it . . down the ‘hills, the strides being often so great that the . knoll; on, on it went, over the low two men many times stopped and gazed into each other's face with looks of superstitious terror frozen into every line of their countenances. At last. on reaching the summit of a hill near two miles from the camp, they found him. He . was sitting with his back resting against a clump of sage brush, bis eyes staring on and his arms stretched out toward the Three Peaks, which were now rosy in the first blush of dawo. They hook him to arouse him—he was dead! The two men were stricken with a sudden terror and fled from the spoi, but soon gathered sufficient courage to return and burv their dead friend as layers of sage brush and rocks.
