THOUGHTs ON THE SEAsON.-There is wall
of sadness borne upon the chill blasts of win
try winds, which have been pouring their
dreary notes upon us, that cannot fail of
touching the hearts of the innocent and hap
py with an unwonted gloom, as unseen spr-
its of evil were, in olden time, believed to
lurk, like unbdden guests to a banquet,
around the joyial festivities of the fireside.-
Nature, in the meanings of tempests blasts,
and the wild music of the midnight storm,
responds to the desolation which is imprinted
upon earth's face ; and the dreary hours
pass heavily away when the carol of the
morning birds is huShed and the perfume of
iiow'rets float no more over hill and dale.
But when raiment and food, friends and
iuel, love and luXurieS are at our command
and we have the means of procuring innocent
enjoymcnts, or indulging in pleasing pas
times, the frost bound hours speed merriy
onward and happiness waltzes merrily in
the same qnadrille with falling snow fakes.
What matters the muttering of the wild
winds without, 1T dims not the light Of the
eye, nor dOmpcns the JOY that thrills our
throbing hearts. But thorgh cur cup of
joy oftentimes is filled 20 overhowing, there
are many upon whom poverty has laid its
iron hand, and who are pleading for that
Sustenoncc which alone gives life, and ener
gy, and beauty, to the human form-and
whose lives, like the sands of the hOurglass,
are slowly ebbng away. Oh. poverty
what scenes Of wretchednesS and misery are
enacted in the abodes of the poor and COM
fortless. The perfume Of howers-the green
fields Of Nature-and the teachings of Our
FATHER in IIeaven-are all unknown to the
poyerty-struck dwellerS of our cities, whose
homes are in garrets and filthy cellars. Ye,
upon whom the tickle god of fortune has
layished wealth and, mayhap, placed you in
high position in the councils of your coun-
try we implore you to turn not deaf ear
to the requests of those who ask favor at
your hands Act as you are morally bound
to do with enlarged ideas of beneyolence,
remembering the requirements of Him who
watcheth DER us ana ministers to our neces-
sites Sierra Citizen.

GEN WAsHINGToN's ArrEARANcE.-Thc
Comier dcs Etais Tn1pubishcs a fragment
of a journal of NJ de Broglie, written in
1882, in which the personal appearance and
manners of Washington were described by 4
Frenchman
The General is about forty-nnc years of
age he is large, finely made, very well pro-
portioned His figure is much more pleas
ing than the pOrtraitsrepresent it. lie was
fine looking till within about three years +;
and although those who have been with him
since that time say that he seems to have
grown old fast, it is undcniabe that the
General is still fresh and active as a young
man.
His physogonomy is pleasant and open !;
his address is cold, though polite ; his pen
give eye is more attentive than sparkling,
but his aspect is kind and noble and com
posed lie maintains in his private deport-
ment that polite and attentive decency
which satisfies all, and that reserved dignity
which does not offend. He is the enemy Of
ostentation and vain glory. His character
is always equal he never mrnilests the
least lll-humOr INQUEST even W liuullllty, lie
seems not to estimate himself duly he re-
ceives with good grace the Difference paid
to him. but rather shuns than courts it
His society is agreeable and pleasing. AL
ways serious never constrained always
free and alIable, without being familiar, the
respect which he inspires never bccome eS
painful. He talks very little in general
and in a very low tone of voice but lie is
so attentive 10 what is said to him that you
are satisfied that he understands you, and
are almost willing to dispense with a reply
This conduct has often been of advantage
TO him under various circumstances no one
has more occasion than he to use circum
spection and to weigh his words.

Return,
3 Y LILLY EE,

.
Return thou wandering one
Why dost thou linger yet?
Long years have passed, and many q sun
Has slowly risen and set,
Since FIRST thy footsteps strayed
From the quiet rural shade
At thy fathers door;
Oh the days of yore
Come thronging back on the stricken soul,
And bedim dark memorys chequered scroll
Return, thou loved one the skies
OF thine own native land
Are still the same and loving eyes,
More pure than golden sand
Have watched thy coming long
Aye, the sigh and plaintive song
Blend with the theme
OF each shadowy DIRE am;
And trembling lips, with sad, deep tone
Breathe prayer as soft as the winds low moan
Return the stars of even,
In yon azure dome,
Like holy angel eyes from Heaven,
Are Watching o'er thy homel
And at mdnight's solemn hour,
Within Loves moon-lit bower,
The zephyrs play
Within the locks of NAY,
Whose check grew pale and lips are mute
AS her fingers lie on the silent lutte!
Return loved one, return!
And clasp that hand in thine;
Upon Faiths altar still doth burn
A love almost divine
Come to that waiting heart,
And bid each fear depart;
Oh let that vow
All broken now,
Be renewed, ere MAY. with tcar-dimmed eye,
Shall pass to her star-lit home on high

COMPLIMENT TO JoURNEYMEN PRINTERS. -
John c. Rjyes in recently published let
ter on the subject Of public printing has a
word of suggestion to writer's for the press
and of compliment to the journeyman, /"
whose duty it not unfrequently is to make
sense ont Of very senslcss ch rography-
None bnt a writer for the daily press, can
comprehend how much truth there is in the
veteran printers remarks Many members
Of Congress, and exc not "A few greater men,
must have been surprised at the respectable
figure they cut in print, without thinking
of the toilsome labor, and the exercise Of
better talent than their own, which had
been expended by the Jour" printer in
licking into shape the message, report or
speech furnished by them. Mr. r. says:
Il have seen the manuscript writing of
most great men of the country, during the
past twenty years, and | think | may say,
that no twenty of them could stand the test
of the scrutiny of onc-half the journcymen
employed in my Office.
This fact will he vouched by every
editor in the Union. TO the poor " jour,
many great man owes his reputation for
scholarship, aud were the humble type-sticks
to resolve, by concert, to set up manuscript
in their HANDS, for even one little week
precisely as it is written by the authors
there would be more regulations slaughtered
than their devils could shake a stick at in
twenty-four hours, Ststcsmcn would become
small by degrees and beautifully less
Many an ass would have the lions hide torn
from his limbs. Men whom the world called
writers, would wake up Of mornings and find
themselveS-famous as mere pretenders-
humbugs--cheats."
