A Passage from Cough.

Mr.. Cough concluded his Albany Address
with the following beautiful inspiriting passage
Let every worker read it, and go to work
anew:
"Of those who began this work, some arc
living to-day; and should like to stand now
and see the mighty enterprise as it rises be-
fore. They worked hard. They lifted the
first turf-prepared the bed in which to lay
the corner stone. They laid it amid persecu-
ton and storm. They worked under the sur
face: and men almost forgot that there were
busy hands laying the solid foundation far
down beneath. By-and-by they got the foun-
dation above the surface, and then commen-
ced another storm of persecution. Now we
see the superstructure, pillar after pillar tow
er after tower, column after column, with the
capitals mblazoned-Love, truth-sympathy,
and good will to all men. Old men gaze
upon it as it grows up before them. They
will not live to see it completed, but they sec
in faith the growing cope-stone set upon it,
Meek-eyed women weep as it grows in beauty
children strcw the pathway of the workmcn
with flowers. We do not see its beauties yet
we do not sec the magnifcence of the SUI.
perstructure yet-because it is in course OF
erection. Scaffolding, ropes ladders, work
men ascending and descending mar the beau
ty of the building; but, by-and-by, when the
hosts who have labored shall come up over a
thousand battle-fields waving with bright grain
never again to be crushed in the distillery--
through vineyard, under trellised vines with
grapes hanging in all their purple glory
never again to be pressed into that which can
debase and Degrade mankind; when they shall
come through orchards, under trees hanging
thick with golden pulpy fruit, never TO be
turned into that which can injurc and debase
when they shall come up to the last dis
tillery and destroy it, to the last stream Of
liquid death and dry it up, to the last weep
ing wife ond wipe her tears gently away; 70
tho last little child and lift up to stand where
God meant that mankind should stand; 70 the

Of the broken chains--thcn, ahl then vii

yclT TaT he siivaorbbhrs bh iay On tho clouds Of his
pathway, as bright and beautiful as the men,

passed beyond our mortal vision. The chill
of autumn had spread its fruits of decay up
on leaf and branch, giving them hue Of
gold and crimson, which bespoke departed
usefulness. 1t was then little band had
fled from their Royal Palace, reared in splend-
or and nagnifccnce, where lifes sweetest
hours had been spent until now, when the
throne must be forsaken for a more secure
spot which was found in an underground
magazine containing their immense wealth,
consisting of bars of gold and many precious
Jewels and a vast quantity of powder arrang-
ed TO do destructive work, rather than yield
to enslavement by the enemy who would
glory in the enterprise. A body guard were
their directors in whom the Ali Pacha had
the most implicit confidence, and submissive
ly complied TO their orders which proved the
most horrid treachery of a band of traitors.
With torches in hand and the utmost ex-
citenent prevailing at the pretended approach
of the enemy, while at one signal all was to
be changed into heap of ruins.
But this villainous guard cautiously extn-
guishcd every light, seized the Ali Pacha, his
wife, and their only child, a beautiful inno-
cent daughter of four years, bound them for
their victims, and not forgctful Of the gold
which was the great temptation. AS the
morning dawned with its gray silvery light,
new scenes of distress sufficient to paralize
the most obdurate hearts were presented to
view.
The father was beheaded, the mother and
daughter marched into slavery, compelled
to follow the bodiless head borne on a spear;
which, when arriving at the city was sold to
the foe for largo sum. The mother soor
expired broken hearted, but not until witnes
sing the sale of her darling for the price o.
thirty thousand francs.
But just God ruled the destiny Of thai
young Princess. She was purchased by
ono who possessed human heart, ant
through sympathy gave this sum for her re
, lease; yet she was slave.

DEoIpED.-The case which we noticed a
few days since before the Genesee Circuit at
Flint, involving the title to property worth
100000, has been decided in favor Of Chaun-
cey s. Payne defendant. The investigation
went back to the Indian treaty ofls19, made
between the u. s. Government and the Chip
pewas, at Saginaw; vast amount of Indian
and other testimony was adduced to prove
the identity of the individual for whom this
section of the land was reserved at the Treaty.

THE PRosPEcrs for ''good times
coming" are brighter now than they
have been in many months. Heavy
SHOWS have fallen in the mountains
and very considerable rain has re-
freshed the Valley. Busy times are
very reasonably anticipated for the
coming spring, when the SHOWS shall
melt and furnish the greatly needed
supply of water, SO long and ear
nestly wished for by the Miners, and
the swelling streams shallirrigate the
rich fields and meadows Of the val
ley.
Although the many miners in the
immediate vicinity of Oroville, are
amply supplied with water from the
great ditch that terminates here, yet
there is vast area of mining lands in
this neighborhood out Of reach Of
water from the ditch, that will re-
main unoccupied until heavy rains
and melting SHOWS supply the natural
water courses. Spring has been
fondly looked forward to by cur mi
ners and business men, as the season
when all these placers can be worked,
and in proportion as the mining pop
ulation increases, so will the trade Of
Oroville increase, and with these
digglngs fairly opened, there will
certainly be a great influx of the
producing and consuming classes,
whose trade is bound to centre here.
Lesser towns may spring up about
us, but the bulk of their trade will
come here, furnished as our merch-
ants will soon be, with the means Of
competing with those of Marysville
and Sacramento in selling THEN
goods.
