Sho concluded fhe'd like to have us represented together in one picter. We'd made our calculations to stop in Gambletown a day or tew on our wav burn. The elder was some acquainted with elder Cumstork, the minister there-had met liim at the rneetin' o' the Baptist Fresbvterv. We left W igglelowti a Monday, went "round bv Tidei,, tint, and stopp-d there towards night. " The elder uqutreil where the H.M,tist minister lived and we went there.

we stuid till Thursday, for brother Uawlev I a hoidiu' a protracted mretin', aud invited ' tlie elder to st.iy nwltile and assist. A i hurs- I I !:ty we come on to Giiinh'rtowu. rat tliere in tli! afternoon. Elder Cumstork was very g!.i to us. and so w as his w if-. I was unite sur pii.-ed when I veen her, for I used to know her I we Mime. Hi r name w as Marv Cushman. She and used to keep school in Wigu'lrtowii w hen Me- the iissv was a little B il. I sent her to Miss Cusli- I he m ill's school. Melissy liked her very welt, but I never thoucht much of her. She was kind o' proud couldn't git acquainted with her. She ; wouhin t talk about nobody. She hid quite a quarrel with the winder Jinkins about Alvirv Miss Jinkins took Alviry out o school. There was a great deal said about it. Evervbodv was i

a takiu' sides. Miss Jinkins went all around ; the machine, and that tune 'twas good. was , bhiziu' away aginst Miss Cushman. Hut I so much p'ensed with it, I told him I'd have ann- ; could'ut hear of Miss Cushtnau's saying any- ! ther one took for Miss Sam Peudergrass, a friend thing, though I spose Miss Jinkins did abuse her i o mine. The Elder looked ruther surprised, 'shamefully. Well, I invited her to drink tea ! but he didn't say nothing. Well, he got auothat our house a purpose to see if she wouldn't ; er one full as good as the first ; aud I liked it so

have, something to say about it. but she never : opened her head I tried my best to draw her i out expressed tT opinion o' the widder Jink- . , ins without resarve. Hut still the provokin' ' critter never said a syllable about the matter. I ttvll ye 'twas the last time I axed her there to tea. I was disgusted with her. I took quite a dislike lew her, ami when she went away I didn't care whether l ever heerd Irom her agin or not And ' I hadn't heerd since didu't know what had be come of her. But I know'd her the minute I clapped my eyes on her in Gambletown, for she's ruther a singular lookin' womuu. 'Law me, sajs I, '.Mary Cushman, I want to know if that s you ?' 'Jest so,' says she, 'but I cant for the life o' me tell who vou are. '1 h dear me sas I, 'why I'm the Reverend Mi-s Suit- : ties, she 'twas wi.idcr Uedott, o' Wiggletow n.' , Sure enough,' says she, I wonder I didn't know you, but I've seen so inanv folks since I was mere, it ruther contuses me. sometimes. thought 'twas a pretty poor excuse for forgittiu : me, but I passed it off. She was wonderful no- '; seemed to be wonderful proud nf her; told ho.v ; well she got along, aud what a good manager j sue was. ana all Hint. But I thought I'd let 'em , know't I hadn't no great opinion of her housektepin. She sot ou a leg o' bi'.ed mutton for ; us, and some vegetables and bread and butter. ( So when we sot down to the table I declined taj king any o' the meat. .Miss Cumstork axed me ; if I wan'l bunn-ry. 'Yes,' savs I. 'but I don't like biled vituls, aint used to 'em.' She felt i awful bad, and went and fetcht on some cold , roast beef. But I told her she needn't a tronbled herself, for I couldn't eat cold meat. So she , - - . , . ........ , viti iiiTai. said lied cut off suin kIippa m. lit stew pan. I begged of her not to do it, for in

my opinion warmed up vittals wan't fit to eat. I meetm, ami sold splendid 'tjrodv flewry' si'k .'I'll make out with a potater,' says I, 'and a fr only a dollar a yard, aud linen cambric haim-pi-ce o' bread.' At last she gin up tryin' to i erchers that wa'.nt hai f cotton, for half price,

make me take an tlmig else. But the Elder he t.lder let into l in arnest. I eat some tew. for. to tell the truth, I was awful hungry, hut d idn't want m to think I eat it because 'twas (rood, so, I s-iys, savs I, 'Rice pudditi's terriMe plain ; hut it's better n liothin', and I spose I shall be sii k if I don't rat something.' When we was alone the p.lder undertook to take me to do about finding fault with the vittals, but I told him he r.eeiiu't be construed, for I meant to let the L omstorks see't I kuow'd what was what, tho' I hadn't hem a school-inarm.

Or Secret Art f finding Minet tt Gtld, Silver, Inn, Lead, Copper, Coal, and Other Mineral Richet. f 11HE first discovery of Oold in California was made by DON JOSE D AI. YEAR, an eminent Sl!lni,h Geologist. Chemist and Natural PhiloDher. hv mr,,0f, ewly iuvented Magnetic instrnmcM, 1 led railed The Goldometer, or Gold Seeker's (;uid i:: Signer D'Alvear has just arrived at New York, from e Gold regions ot California, bv wav of Panama. ,,,e Gold regions ot California Cliagres, and New Orleans, bringing with him very HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY. Signor D'Alvear went out lo California nearl? tw, years ago, in consequence of certain information w hich he had received of the geological character of that country, with the lirm belief that vast mines of precious me'.als would be revealed there, upon careful investigation. He was encouraged to this enterprise, also, hy his confidence in the power of eertain magnetic instrument which he had invented, called the "Goldometer," by w hose aid he cxpoeted t be directed at once to the "Gold Placers." if anv

2S j such existed. Nor were his expeeiarions disappoint25 i ed. His scientific calculations nrovrd to b fnunitnl

in truth and prufound wisdom, and his new instrument, the "Goldometer," fulfilled Ins highest hopes. In less lhan two months after reaching California, he struck upon one ofthe richest gold mines in that country, upon an obscure branch of the Sacramento river, in a gorge of hills extremely rocky and difficult of access, and seldom visited by the native Californians. Disguising his object under the pretence of purely scientific research, be obtained the aid of some fifteen or twenty simnle and faithful Indians. and steadily pursued Ins task, collecting often more ' than 1.000 worth of gold in a sinele tlar. which he concealed in a deep ravine, without rxeittng any ine picion whatever, until after the discovery of gold at Capt. Sutter's Mill, when the mountains were ransacked by gold seekers, and Signor D'Alvear' "gold placer," the richest in all California, was beset with greedy adveuturets. It is now found that the real mines or sources uf the gold, lie in llie gtirgea ofthe mountains, and not in Ihe beds or sands of llie rivers. Previous to leaving California, Signor D'Alvear sold his instrument, the Goldometer, a very imperfect one, for 3,000 dollars. The person who purchased it confidently expected to make a handsome fortune, by simply finding "gold placers" and selling out the j jghi of digging lo the gold workers. i MANUFACTURE UF I HE GOLDOMETER, PUBLICATION OF THE GUIDE. j so'nor D'Alvear, in compliance with the request : uitfigmeroiis scientific gentlemen, has commenced 25 I ihe manufacture of his new Magnetic Instrument. 55 i the GOLDOMETER, which lie now offers for tale, 25 in ihe United Stairs, at the remarkably low price ot "iTHHF.E DOLLARS each, accompanied by lull in25 struct ions for use, and a variety of Philosophical 50 . hints drawn from the ancient and modern sciences. or the ART OF FINDING MINES OF GOLD! Silver, Platinum, quicksilver. Coal, Iron, Copper, Lead, and oilier Mineral Riches, the whole being given in a publication railed the GOLD SEEKER'S GUIDE! 1 his new work, and the Goldometer, arc both now ready for sale. The Goldometer is so simple an instrument, thai a child ma y learn to operate with it in five minutes. I i moi oi-i-ii-u uj ciiioavr, moisture, or any other j known cause, (except the natural magnet,) and w ill retain its power of pointing out mineral riches in the earth for any number of years. ny llie aid ofthe Guide any psrsnn may use the instrument at once with perfect success. FARMERS AND LAND OWNERS. Farmers and Land Owners throughout the United States, who have reason to suspect Ihe existence nf ; any kind of Mineral riches upon their lands, should i Tai Ihemsvlves of this opportunity to test that fact. by the surest ofal I known tests, before the abundano of discoveries in all pans of the country shall have c-ssrnea inis source ol weallti in ttn-ir estate. ADVF.N 1 UifF.RS TO CALIFORNIA. Persons going to California cannot make a better investment than by purchasing one of these instruments, which will nut only be worth fifty times its value there, to sell again, but will be ir inestimable worth lo those who go in searth of gold, as has been prosed by the most abundant experiment both in Ualilornia aud the Unit, d States. TESTIMONIALS. Signor D'Alvear does not deem it necessary to encumber this nut ice with a long list of testimonials, in proof of the value id" his GOLDOMETER, and GOLD SEEKER'S GUIDE. The brilliant results of his labors ill California, and the discovery, this very week, of Iresh veins of Gold in Virginia, and beds of Coal in Rhode Island, by its use, are alone sufficient lo stamp it as the greatet discovery of the age. Nothing but the extreme cheapness or Ihe instrument, and his desire to see it used for the benefit of mankidd induces him to dispose of it at the low price tor w hich he oilers it. Resides this, his own desire for wealth is nearly aatisfied. The following testimonials, in proof ofthe value of the Goldometer, selected from a great number equally satisfactory, must suffice fur the present: Astor House, New York, Dec. St, JJ4. The undersigned, having this day witnessed the practical upiraliou of Signor Jose De Alvear's newly invented magnetic instrument, the Goldometer, feel entirely satisfied that il possesses the extraordinary power of detecting Mineral ores hidd-n beneath the surface ofthe earth, and have no doubt that it will prove an invaluah!r'"aid in the discovery of the Mineral resources ofthe United States and the world. J. R. DfAPER, Jr., Chemist, I.. S. HERMANN. Magnetic Ins. Mskrr. G. S. DANA, Geologist. Los Angelos, California, August, 1848. This may c.-rtify that the undersigned is fully convinced that Signor Jose De Atvear was the first discoverer of the the Gold deposites of California, and that this discovery was made by ihe aid of a magnetic instrument called the Goldometer, which 1 have seen successfully applied to lae discovery of veins of Gold ore, in places w here no indications of that subatance appeared upon the surface of the earth. T. W. SHERMAN, Lieut. 3d Artillery, U. S. Army. NO AGENTS. In consequence of the difficulty of finding faithful agents, and of preventing frauds, where articles of ibis nature are sent out tor general sale, Signor D'Alvear has determined to sell none of his works or instruments unlessordered by letters sent dilectly to him, wben the desired publication, nr instrument, will be furwarded under his signature and seal, so that all doubt as to its genuineness may be removed. RE WAP E of all imitations of this Instrument w hich may hereafter appear, as the secret of imparting the Gold Detecting power is known to no pesson whatever, except the original inventor. The GODDOMETEJ?, andj GOLD SEEKEJ?'S GLTDE, w ill both be sent by mail, closely enveloped and sealed, an d therefore, not subject to inspection by postmasters, for the sum of THREE DOLLARS, sent post paid to SIGNOR JOSE D'ALVEAR, Bo. 2713, New York City. The Instrument is very light, and the Guide is printed on thin paper so that th j entire charge by mail, or express, will be very small, j to any part of the United State.
