Cold Weather.

The past winter, according to all reports,
has been the coldest that the Atlantic
States has experienced for many years.
AS simple illustration, we give the FOL
lowing which we clip from the Cincinnati
Commercial:
"The Peru qn) Chroulcle of the 18th lnst''
learns from farmer who resides on the
south side of the Illinois river On the BLUM,
some particulars of the storm OF the ZOth
ult, His cattle, though they were enclosed
within circle of straw stacks and bay
stacks, were so much affected by the driving
snow blast, that they refused to eat. ne
snow was driven between the hairs, and,
coming in contact with the skin, was Tor
moment melted, then frozen, until the whole
covering of the animal seemed one unbrOken
armor of ice, which did not disappear, on
many, for four days after. The snow melt
ing on their foreheads and running down,
formed huge icicles that passed down over
the face aud reached far below the nose, Civ
ing them the appearance of the beast with
the ten horns-n many instances the broad
sheet of ice, falling over their eyes, blind
folded them effectually. Their postrils were
filled with frozen snow that had been driven
into them by the violence of the wind. The
quails that had gathered about his barnyard
as last refuge, were frozen to DEATH
Prairie chickens were either frozen to death
or so benumhed that he could take them
with his hands as they sat on the fence,
sleeping with actual stupor. His barnyard
chickens were many of them frozen, and
what is singular, in nearly every case they
were found with their bills as VIDE apart as
they could be sundered, and the mouth till-
ed with solid ice He has driven his cattle
and teams over his fences, the snow being
on level with them, and SO compact as to
sustain heavy load

A GooD WORD FOR WOMAN.-From the
lips of woman every infant hears the first
accents OF affection, and receives the first
lessons of duty in tenderness and love. For
the appreciation of woman the grown up
youth will undertake the boldeSt enterprise
and brave every difficulty of study, danger,
and even death itself. TO the happiness of
woman the man of maturer years will devote
the best energies of his mind and body; and
from the soothing and affectionate regards
OF women the man who is become venerable
by years derives his chief consolation in
llte'S decline Who, then, shall say that the
one-half of the human race, and they con-
tessedly the most virtuouS and the most ami
able, may not be intrusted with an intelli-
gence and an influence equal to our own
10 them, when sorrow afflicts US, we con-
sign half our sufferings, and they cheerfully
relieve US by Tightening them. When joy
delights, we give the half of our pleasures,
and they as readily consent to share them.
They lessen, by their sympathy, the pangs
of all our privations, and they increase, by
their participation, the exstacy of all our
delights. They deserve, therefore, the full
enjoyment of every privilege that 1t is III
our power to confer on them.

IMMORTALITY OF MAN.-Why is it that
the rainbow and cloud come over us with
beauty that is not of earth, and then pass
away and leave US to muse on their faded
loveliness? Why is it that the stars which
hold their festivals around their midnight
thrones, are set above the grasp of our lin
tied faculties, forever mocking us with un,
approachable glory? And why is it that
bright forms of human beauty are presented
to our view and taken from US, leaving the
thousand streams of affection to flow back
in Alpine torrents upon our hearts We
are born for higher destiny than that Of
earth. There is realm where the stars
will set out before us like islands that slum-
Der upon the ocean, where the being that
passes now before US like the meteor, Will
stay in our presence forever.

The Union.
BY LONGFELLOW.

Thou, too, sail on! Oh! ship of State
Sail on, oh! Union strong and great,
Humanity, with all its fears,
With all its hopes of future years,
Is hanging, breathless, on thy fatel
We know what masters laid thy keel,
What workmen wrought thy ribs of steel,
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope
What anvil rang, what hammers beat,
Where shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
IT'S of the wave, and not the rock;
'Tis but the tapping of the sail,
And not the rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempest roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on. nor fear to breast the sea
Our hearts, our hopes are all with thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears
Our faith triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee-are all with thee!

BUBBLEs-Bubbles are the beauty-fow>
ers of the stream-the cap and feathers OF
the warning torrent-the beaGed ribbons OF
the flow ing rill. S.r Isaac Newton studied
the laws OF refraction, and meditated deeply
on the miniature rainbows in the soap bub-
ble Sage philosopher. Where sEa1 we
find IN )tLer Newton to edu'e some law OF
light from the hunan bubble not quite so
pretty as that of the flowing ril. Our bub-
ble banks, bubble stocks, real estate bub~
bles, men bubbles and women bubbles, have
they any light in them? Can we catch any
rainbow hues of truth in these evanescent,
ever present, ever bursting bubbles? The
whole social stream seems whipped mo
foamy consis tence and blown into con-
geres of bubbles, which burst as if filed
with detonating gas. So many have burst
that we are almost sure that what is left IS
also bubble and will burst. we do not know
how soon, or when. Where is the social
science to unriddle this? Pho. bubble,
nothing but bubble! Let them burst, but
there's meaning in them, and they hold the
refraction of pnre truth, the vice and folly
Of fnanciering to cheat your ueighbor.

The Evening Cloud.
BY JOHN WILSON,

A cloud lay Graded near the setting sun
A CLEAN of crimson tinged its braided snow.
Long had watched the glory moving on,
Ger the still radiance of the lake below,
Tranquil its spirit seemed, rnd f1oated slow,
E'vn in its very motion there was rest,
While every breath of eve that CHANGED to blow
Waited the traveller to the beauteous west;
Emblem, methought of the departed SOUL
To whose white robe the CLEAN of bliss is given
And by the breath of mercy made to roll
Right onward to the golden gates of heaven,
Where to the eye of faith it peaceful lies,
And tells the man his glorious destinies

MARYSvILLE TEMPLE OF HoNoR.-The
Sisters of the Social Degree No. 5, present
ed splendid Bible to the brothers of the
Marysville Temple of Honor, last Saturday.
Mrs. Ridges address was finished COM
position; this for example,
"Here is a Bible! Purchased by the
mothers, wives and sisters of our beloved
order, behold the written law of God
Hallowed by time and the suffering of a
thousand martyrs; and by the Divine teach
ingS OF the man of sOrrOWS;' and by the
cruel story Of His crucifxion-I bring from
those mothers, and wives, and sisters, this
volume, that you may place it as that rock
of the foundation Of all your hopes"
Mr.. Heuston'sr reply was equally eloquent.
We cannot keep from quoting the following
paragraph:
"In ancient days, ere Spartan valor had
become but theme Of song and history
when not even the imperishable renown of a
Marathon was needed to command for her
the need of worlds homage-it is related
that Spartan mothers, wives, and sister,,
when sending out their loved ones to battle
and victory, were wont, as parting token
of affection, with their own fair hands to pre-
sent them with q shield; and that Spartas
heroes would ever leave their bodies upon
the battle plain, sooner than this sacred
memento of the loved ones at home"

ticles at a fair price and not be compelled
as they have been for the last two years,

GRASS VALLEY QUARTZ CLUB.-Ac-

body, there is no longer room to doubt the
existence Of lodes of blue mass in the strata
Of quartz mining localities At late
meeting Of the club, says the Telegraph,
"Mr. Clossett showed q specimen ol
some new material, found 10 running his
adit, which, by chemical analysis, proved
to be mixture Of sulphur and blue mass
and unctuous matter, supposed to be USE
ful in. cutaneous eruption" The blue
ncss lead of Ell Dorado was comparative
ly pure, AID the discovery of sulphur in
connection with It in our immediate neigh

alarming sensations. Who knows but we
are in close proximity to tsat spot where

STATE JouRNAL.-Thiss sheet is fishing
to obtain the same kind of celebrity that
the New York Herald has gained by an
assumption of the gift of remarkable saga
city or most wonderful prophecy Long
before Presidential election the blow
hard organ of New York, takes up seria-
tim, every man in the Union of more than
ordinary notoriety, and advocates his
claims to the highest gift of the people
Wise insinuations are thrown out that GER
tain projects are on foot, known to no
one but the writer, and few others who
are all powerful, which are destined to
place this OF that man in the chair Of
State. Articles, differing in expression
but the same in tenor are written for eve
ry man upon whom the choice of the peo-
pie could possibly alight. Uninfuenced
by such trash the national conventions at
length meet, and as might have been ex-
pected, one of the number whose name
had been mentioned by the sapient sheet,
received the nomination. The informa-
ton fes on the wings Of lightning, and in
ten minutes after, flaming bulletin is
issued from the Herald office, the first
words of which are, Gas we predicted.
The State Journal, taking the Herald
for its model, is endeavoring to make it
selfan oracle, by parading the name of
every man of intellect above mediocrity in
its columns, as a prominent candidate for
U. S. Senator. Unblushingly it announ-
ces that it is in the possession of infor-
nation, and knows of deep laid schemes
in the opposite party which no one, even
the friends of the supposed candidate,
ever dreamed Of There is not man OF
more than ordinary calibre belonging to
the American party, but the State Journal
has not e1 pended some of its supefnatu-
raj wisdom upon. a file of the Journal
for the last six months, answers US for on
excellent State Directory, and strip the
names of the garbage that surrounds
them, no better reference is needed to fad
where any noted politician lives, from,
what state he emigrated, what his predi-
lections are, and where he is going-that
is, if any thing the State 1Ournalsays, can,
under any combination Of circumstances
be believed.
