One OF the Washington correspondents Of the New York

public mind state of things like this betrays degree
of degradation in the press and of personal prohgaey in

We have already exposed the calumny forged against
Governor McCleand, Secretary OF the INTERIOR that he

A Good Time coming,

When it will not be a crime to be poor ?
When the poor man can lock up with a
blithe and CHEEKY face among his fellows
When that day comes, look on the t0iling
farmer peasant, his face bronZcd but his
heart gay as the lark with whose song he
welcomes the morning. Cheerfully he turns
the first curse into a blessing, and with a
song of thanksgiving he earns bread by
the sweat of his brow, as the Father hath
commanded. Turn to the hills and watch
the old pilgrim shepherd. From a whitehead
hoy he has grown to be a white-headed man
and all his life cheerfully spent in watching
the lambs. He cares but little for the gilded
palaces of earth the sunny hillside has been
his home and the downy heath his couch
Solitude has been his brother and he has
grown old and wrinkled but still happy and
cheerful, watching his flock. and content with
the world and his own poverty as he bends
nearer and nearer the earth in the sun of
life's evening. He wishes for no greater
wealth than snowy hocks, a goodly nook and
his piping reed and 10 better wisdom than
goodly guesses of the morrow's weather.
He may have heard on the hillside fairy
legends Of rubies, gold and diamonds, but
he points to the bright star of the evening and
claims it as his own.
