How like drcary death in life
-. Those heavy months dragged on
Those '+wintcrs of your discomfort"
Without one bright, high noon;
No sun, no warmth, no friendly call,
No Sabbath bell to cheer,
But one long, dark, funeral pull
The midnight of the ycar!
And hunger, darkness, pain and death;
Cold, tempest, hope Deferred
Oh, hearts of men. twas Gods own breatl
That kept your spirits stirred
> And when We left your vessels side.
Braccd for the deadly strife,
Now surgcd upon VIC this full tide,
Thus battling for your life.
No mockcrv of a single cheer
Your palsicd lips enclose,
All know fate Of pain and fear
Clean frcm those cruel SHOWS.
Oh, majesty Of faith and hope
That bids We do and dare
And trust that with his guiding love,
Your faithful God is near.
There, i'll that grand cathedral space
Carved out by Gods own hand
All marblcd round with gltterins ice,
Bare headed round We stand
And then sublime that simple PRAYER
. Pierced the icy dome,
Oh, God, accept our gratitude
And take MS to our home"

On the deadly battle plain,
And oft herald in our hearing

The whirling wheel, the rushing SAIL
How mntionlcss and still!
Six days of toll, poor child Of Cain,
Thy strength the slave Of Want may bc,
The seventh thy limbs escape the CHAIN
And God hath made thee free.
ALI, tender was the law that gave
This holy respite to the Breast
To breathe the gale, to watch the wave;
And now thy wheel may rest
But where the waves the gcntlcst glide,
What image charms to lift thine eyes?
The sIirc reelected ON the tide
Invites thee to the skies.
To teach the soul its IioblCr worth,
This rest from mortal toll Is given;
Go, snatch the brief reprieve from earth,
And passa guest 10 Heaven.
They tell thee, in their dreaming school,
or power from old dominion hurled,
When rich and poor, with juster rule,
Shall share the altered world.
Alas! since time itself began,
That fable hath but fooled the hour;
Each agctlmt ripens power in man,
But subjects man to power.
Yet on ono lay in seven, ut least,
One bright republic shall be known;
Mans world awhile hath surely ceased
When God prOClainis his own!
Six days may rank divide the poor, '
Oh, Dives! from the banquet hall;
The seventh--thc Father Opens the door,
And holds his feast for all.

Although our approaching State slec.

sent issues connected directly with nation
al policy, yet it is none the less the duty
of the Democracy Of California to express
at the ballot-box that confidence in the
present administration, and appreciation
Of its course thus far, which now 90 uni
vcrsally pcrvades its ranks. This should
be manifested by the election Of men for
official stations, whose friendly feelings
and sentiments towards President Buch-
anan and his Cabinet are 'tabovc suspi-
cion," and not those, or the friends of
those, whose private malice has been kin

It is important in the Gubcrnat0EiGi nom
