result is regarded as very encouraging at

been greater This paper states that there
is now in the United States, at least ego

THE WINTER OF LIFE.


BY NRS. p. A. BASCOMD.
''No sno VS. fall so gently as the SHOWS Of age
et none are so heavy, as they never melt"
The snow ofwinter gently falls,
And whitens DER the ground;
Thus, with the snowy wreaths of time
The hrow of age is bound.
1t never melts, but slowly falls,
Silent and scarcely seen,
Until the heads OF those we love
Glitter with silver sheen.
Time never heeds the pain or grief
Which human nature feels;
No backward movement ever makes
Blu. onward rolls its wheels:
Regardless Of the bitter wall
Ofhearts by anguish riyen;
The songs OF youth the pains Of age,
Unheeded rise to heaven.
Oh, could we find the fabled spring
Which would our youth restore.
o. gaze, Ike traveller outward bound,
On the reccding shore
But all in vain-the bounding wave
Still bears Us f.om the strand:
The mystic waters powers naught
But 4 tale Of fairy land.
Better to bear with cheerful heart
The change that time may bring,
And garner treasures for Old age,
Thln sigh fos endless spring.
Treasures Of faith of hope ;, and love,
Freely to morta!s given;
Death viii restore Our youthful bloom.
Ihere's no Oh age in heaven

THE TRUE DocrRINE.--The subjoined
resolution embraces the doctrine of the
Democratic patty as to slavery. 1t was
adopted at Democratic meeting IN Rock
Island. Illinois
"That the Democratic party is neither
a pro slavery nor an anti-slavery party: Ii
allows every man to be fully persuaded /"
his own mind upon that vexed question:
1t does not recognize slavery as national
question, but RENTS its discussion and the
nuestion of is continuance to the people
nf the States where it exists, and who are
responsible for it. confident that they will
settle it wisely. and. if it be an evil, abol-
ish it in good time. At the same time, we
protest against any intermeddlng pf the
citizens Of one sertion of the Union with
the affairs of another. as unwise. unjust,
unfraternal, calculated to feed the flame OF
sectional jealousy. and to increase the very
evils wbIh nre attempted 10 be remedied.

A MYSTERIOUS GHARACTER.-In solitary cave.
about four miles North of Milwaukee, lives a young
female, entirely isolated from the world. She has
frequently been for time past going in the
direction of her barbarous abode, and some led
to suppose that she was dishonest character, and
made this place receptacle for stolen goods. The
police apprised Of the matter, and the day be-
fore yesterday policemen Beck and Dodge went out
to discover who this mysterious parsonage might be-
After some searching they succeeded in finding her
cave 1t is in a ravine the lake shore, and the
brush is so thick around there that it was with much
difficulty they reached it. They found in the easc,
which is nothing but hole dug under the bank an
old German prayer book and a few rags. A short
distance from it, they found some dishes and cooking
utensils but they did not at first find the occupant Of
this lonely spot
Not satisfied with their investigation, they secreted
themselves in the brush close by, and towards night
they detected the object of their search coming to-
wards her resting place with load of fire wood upon
her back and little bag of -four. She then proceed
ed to make fire at the entrance of her cave, ard
was preparing to cook her supper when the police
showed themselves. She did not appear at all alarm
ed at their presence but she either could not or she
would not speak to them.
One of them tried to make her understand that he
would give her something to eat and place to sleep
in if she would come to his house, but she sgnifed
her preference to remain in her lonely abode. She
was quite poorly clad but they say she is rather in
telgent looking.

she must have lived there long time As the police
found nothing objectionable suspicious about this

DEATH OF A PROMINENT CITIZEN OF MOBILE
The Mobile Mercury Of Monday says:
The announcement yesterday of the demise of this
gentleman, (Mr. Battle)-a leading and highly re-
spected citzen-did not come unexpected. He had
been in i'll health for some time, and for week or
more his friends and family had but the slightest hope
of his recovery. He has now closed his career of
usefulness at a somewhat advanced age being aged
we believe, about 6S years. The deceased was one
of the founders, some twenty-five years ago. of the
now wealthy house of Rives, Battle & Co. The sue
cess and standing of this establishment is the best
commentary upon his life as business man, though
for several years past the transactions have been
chiefly managed by younger members of the firm
Mr. Battle was identified with most of the enterprise:
