A Drtnm of Imaglrnulon.
As T sit by ray window, pensive and alone, this
beautiful evening, I behold iu the eas>t the last,
lingering rays of "Old Sol," slowly passing over
the snowy summit ot the '' Sierras."' in the distance, while to the South clouds darken to black-
ne!*, and lower below the snow-capped peaks,
cafting a shadow over all nature. But hark!
methinks I bear the knell of Time tolling the re
quiem of the departed day, whicli is last fading
inlotbe'bright thfogbof earth that were, heftilng
many reminiscences that will be recorded in the
great "book of memory;" there to remain until
all things t-hall be obliterated.
Twilight lias deepened into darkness, and a
dream of imagination .steals over me. wliile Fancy
steps forward and offers her hand, and leads mo
"nto the outer world. Together we wandt-r orer
sandy deserts, barren regions, uncultivated for-
ests—tracing the lone path of the "Red Men" to
tbeir wigwams, casting a fearful eye upon tbem as
they dance around their canip-firo. making night
hideous with their savage yells. Thence, we wnn-
der to some high mountain, whose rugged Steeps
and black indented sides, forbid ascent to the
weary traveler, whose lofty snow-white peaks
tower high above the clouds : where the condor in
his glory makes his home, and looks dowu the
rugged cliffs with his keen eye, ready to dart upon
his prey.
Here we view the vaulted firmament above;
thc little stars—pure and holy worlds of light—
shine forth from the dark blue sky, and smile
upon us, as we stand in a kind of rever"ntiul
awe, contemplating on the scenes, which fill ua
with admiration at the almost overwhelming manifestation it affords of the wisdom and goodness of
that " Great Being" who created tho world and all
thintrs therein.
We then view the beautiful valley of H-
sleeping iu sweet repose iu the quiet embrace of
Night, finely diversifid by wild autumnal flowers,
last filling with fhe bright dew of heaven, shining
beneath the starry canopy that overshadows them,
making my dreamy walks a paradise. She then
leads me through tbe valley, to a small quiet
stream, where rippling waves glitter iu the starlight, and disappear after a thousaud playful me-
anderings. We wander hand iu hand up this
stream, until we stand in sight of the remains of
tbe old house of my childhood. The clear crystal
waves played along the shelving bank of turf
that lay half secluded beneath the vines of ivy,
that twined around lhe overshadowing trees, hardly daring to fling its green arms around the bosom
of the stream. On the margin, grew broad flag-
flowers, purple, tinged with white; aud water-lilies, whose petals were bright and beautiful. In
the hedge grew tender bluebells, faint orlips, and
the constellated flower that never sets. We passed on, and stood before the ruins ot the old house,
smiling in sad and mined grandeur, by lho bright
starlight of heaven. 1 gazed upon its broken
walls, sunken floors and deserted chambers, with
a sad, unspeakable joy. The chimnies had turn-
bled down, the windows were broken, the pillars
•were worm-eaten, and the remains had wholly become a harbor for the mud-swallow.
How sad 1 lelt when Fancy left me, and stern
Reality stepped up and gently touehed me on the
shoulder, reminding me that everv thing must
eventually succumb to the all destroying hand of
Time.
I looked agaiu; the night-hawk and bat were
flying through the descried halls and open windows, while tlie night-winds played with the ivy
that folded its twining tendrils around the decayed
and worm-eaten pillars of the rusiy old porch.
As I stood gazing, and meditaticc on-days past
and gone, the beautiful moon arose and shone on
the scene of dessolatiou, with a gentle, mellow
light, making even decay and ruin look beautiful,
and Walter Scott's lines, when speaking of ''Mel
rose Abby,f' came uncalled across my mind:
"If lhou wouldst view fair Melrose aright,
Go visit it by the pale moonlight."
All alone I stood, looking upon the sad and
ruined pile as it sweetly smiled in the pale moon-,
light.    I raised my eyes to heaven, and quietly
knelt upon the dewy sod at my feet, and felt I was
alone with that "Great Being."—Alone    with
Godl-
Alorre with God! what feelings thrill
Electric through life's purple rill—
Methought I could not from Him hie
Or turn from His all-seeing eye.
My heart I thought would break within
From error, pride, and cherislrd sin,
For as I knelt upon tbe sod,
I felt I was alone with God I
Alone with God! tbe rippling stream
Sounds on my ear as here I dream ;
And as I gaze on heaven high,
The starry host, lhe deep blue sky,
The zephyrs round me sigh as mild
As breathings from a little child,
While here I kneel upon the sod,
And feel I am alone with God !
Alone witb God! where can I fly ?
Where bide from His all-seeing eye?
I am alone ! ah, may I be
As meek, as gentle, pure as Thee.
Oh ! make my trembling spirit pure
As Heaven, that I may endure '
The ills of life—Thy chastening rod—
I know I am alone with God I
Alone with God'. oh, may I be
" A meek, obedient child to Thee."
Aad may I never disobey,
Thy precepts given day by day;
But walk in virtue's holy path,
And live in fear of Thy great wrath.
For as I kneel upon the sod,
I feel I am alone with God!
Alone with God! pure, undefiled,
I pray look down upon Thy child ;
And through the slippery paths of life.
Keep Thou my wayward feet from strife.
And let mv heart 1o Thee ascend,
Thou blessed God ! my heavenly friend !
I kneel upon the dewy sod,
Alone with Thee, my gracious God !
Alone with'God I oh. where am I?
In utter darkness.    Ah, I sigh!
The ruined pile, the pearly stream
I left behind in Fancy's dream ;
I sit beside ray window now,
And night-winds fan my gloomy brow.
I eee no more the dewy sod,
Where I was left alone w*ith God!

KMSing til* Hjuidsomcst Girls.
A distinguished candidate for an office of high
trust in a certain State, who is "up to a thing or
two,'" and has a keen appreciation of live beauty,
when about to set oil'ou an electioneering tour
recently, said to his wife, who was to accompany
bim lor prudential reasons :
" My dear, inasmuch as thia election is complicated, and the canvass will be close, I am anxious
to leave nothing undone that would promote my
popularity, and so I have thought it a good plan
for me to kiss a number of the handsomest girls m
^very place where I may be honored with a pnbiio
reception.    Dou't you think that would be a good
' "Capital," exclaimed the devoted wife, "and
to make your election sure, while you are kissing
the handsomest girls, I will kiss an equal number
of tbe handsomest men:"
The distini:ni"hrd candidate, we believe, has not
since referred to this pleasing means of populai-
ity.
Letter frum Snn l-'inmtsiii.
San Francisco, Nov. 17th, 1SC0.
A TKRIU15LK STORM.
On last Thursday afternoon the winds began to
blow, and steadily-increased in strength till a
perfect gale swept over the sand hills,and carried
destruction to much property in the city and on
the bay. The effects aro to be observed, to a
greater or less extent, all along the water front.
ltEi-rm.icANS rejoicing.
That "fast" institution, the Pony Express,
brought un, in the almost incredible short space of
seven days, tho intelligence of Lincoln's election
to tlie position of the Chief Executive of the
United Stales, and the "Blacks" were frantic in
their Joy. A mandate was issued by the Jehus of
thcDisuuion coach, recommending a general illumination of the city as a token of their "gratitude to Almighty God." The illumination took
place, but was a miserable failure, and gives them
but little credit. An incident of the illumination
that fell under our observation, may not be uuin
teresting. so I will attach it: A very nice old lady
ef my acquaintance, who has a number of lodgers
in her hoiiBe, requested permission to illuminate
their rooms. This request waH granted, with the
proviso that the occupants were given the privilege to place a motto in the windows thus illuminated. When the house was lighted up tbe "'outsiders" were astonished to find from one window
the following words : "This room is for Breckinridge;" from a second : "We are for Bell and Everett," and from the third: "Douglus men are
we." Only one window was left to express Lincoln sentiments from.
Some of our astute politicians are already predicting a dissolution ol the Union on Ihe 4th of
next March. This I do not think will be likely;
Ihere is too much sound reason in thc Southern
statesmen to be guilty of any precipitate action ;
and so long as Mr. Lincoln is guilty of no overt
act, so long will the Southern people yield obedience and support to his administration. Why,
what can he do? Where will be his power?—
Supposing him to have the desire to annoy or injure the South, iu what will his weapons consist?
So far as the co operation of Congress is concerned
he will be litterally a President without a party.
He will even be unable to nominate a member of
his Cabinet, or a single Collector of Customs, or a
Postmaster', or a Register of Public Lands, or any
other Government functionary, without the rntifi
cation of the United States Senate ; and, as that I
body numbers a conservative majority, it will take
care to place such restraints upon the possible
anti-slavery zeal of Mr. Lincoln, as well as compel him to limit his appointments to the least ob-
from amung his pnrtizaus. In short, for
at least two years, Mr. Lincoln, as President, will
be a political automaton, with as small a proportion of real and substantial authority as is possessed by the puppets in a raree show. Hence,
there is no possible excuse for hasty aud precipitate action on the part of the youth ; and as there
Id be noimmediate ground for apprehending
aggression, duty, prudence nnd patriotism will

FIRE is kingI
From the rapidly increasing number of fires recently, one is lead to the conclusion that our cily
is infested with a number of incendiaries. On
Friday night quite a destructive conflagration
occurred on Clay street, opposite the Plaza. The
fire had hardly been conquered ere the brave firemen were summoned to do duty in the Southern
part of thecity. On Saturday night another fire
occurred on Calilorniastreet, directly opposite the
mint. This resulted in extensive damages. Ou
Sunday the firemen wero called to assist in battling the flames of a terrible fire ou the Mission
road; and again, last night, were the fiends at
work, for another destructive firo took place in
the western part of the city.

THE REPORTER'S  UNION BALI..
That immense organization and combination of
reportorial talent, yclept " Reporter's Union," determined to celebrate the anniversary of their
labor saving organization by a gtand ball. They
accordingly selected Hayes' Park, a place where,
every -Sunday, huge numbers of beer-drinkers
congregate and driuk lager, eat pritsels, and dance
reels and hornpipes to wheezy music from con-
sumpted fiddles aud damaged clarionets, because
the proprietor generously tendered them the place
"Iree gratis, for nothing, without charging them a
cent,"—and everybody aud his wile knows that
the reporter are decidedly favorable to free
lunches, &c. Well, the anniversary arrived, aud
the "hall went on ;" but soon the respectable portion of the audience were attacked with a desire
to leave the "gay aud festive scene." The fact is,
there were quite a number of highly improper
characters present; aud as they still kept coming,
the decent people were compelled to go home.—
The reporters were soft enough to advertise that a
celebrated cantatrice, who recently deserted her
husband and is now living with a pianist ol celebrity, would sing the Casta Diva. ThiB gave other
improper characters a perfect right to participate.
The reporters ought to hide their diminished
heads after this allair.
I had intended to have given you a few items in
relation to some very interesting developments
that have recently been made in the domestic

undersell those of their neighbors who will em
ploy none but white labors ; but I shall wait till
another time, as I have already gone beyond the
space allotted me. C. W. C.
