ENvY.-The envious man is in pain on
all occasions that ought to give him pleas
ure. The relish of his life inverted, and
the objects that administer the highest
satisfaction to those who are exempt from
this passion, give the quickest panss to,
those who are subject to it. All the per-
fections of their fellow-creatures are obi;
Gus. Youth, beauty, valor, and wisdom
are provocations of their displeasure.--
What wretched and apostate state is
this, to be offended with excellence. and
to hate man because we approve him !?
The position of the envious man is em,
phatically miserable! He is not only in
capable of rejoicing in another mans sue
cess, but lives in world wherein all
mankind are in plot against his quiet.

vantage.

THE TERRITORY OF NEvADA.-We
have letter from James NJ. Crane, Con-
gressional agent at Washington, for the
people of Carson and all the valleys which
are embraced within the high title, "Ter-
ritory of Nevada" The bill in Congress
to organize Territorial Government was
put aside as early business of next session.
Mr. Crane will remain eastward until after
thewinter meeting of Congress, and strive
again for the inhabitants of the great ba-
sin. Some have endeavored to ridicule
the proposition which Mr.. Crane has in
advocacy; we are differently disposed, be-
ing satisfied that those eastern slope and
summit valleys, extending even to Sierra
valley, will, before long, hold large in
dustrial population whose resources will
be Incompatible, in hepromise of wealth
and happiness. ss.-Sierra Citizen.

aspersion; let the slanderer 90 in what
direction his devil-heart designates, let
him peddle his calumnies, stopping at
every door, spreading his hell-fume before
all and striving to exchange defamation
of others for respect toward himself. Let
him open his libel scroll and teach base
lessons; let him have his fend-food and
the drink that stimulates the tongue to
utter lies, that urges the hand to write
them for the paper-heralds of the times.
His pursuit is under the exercise of a
propensity Unborn and irresistible; he
must have his period and indulgence like
each of the animated corruptions which
move to filthy the world 1t is his bu-
siness to hideously contrast with what is
honorable and pure, and in his destiny he
meets no admiration of superior men,
The traducer dies sooner than the ira
duced; the one maintains his evil with
words which are forgotten; the other
proves his good by acts which are remem-
bered. The calumniator, malignant and
inventive, cannot survive all exposition of
his peryerseness, though he may cover
himself with all the drapery of ingenious
dissimulation. He shall be seen as he is
in spite of his precaution; his screens will
appear as gauze and every mystifycation
become as clear as truth undenied and
undeniable. The structures he builds on
yillification shall ROT and fall with the
builder; therefore, know that integrity
and superiority are towers, standing eter-
nally and at whose foot-walls aspersion,
however aspiring, may grow no higher
than dwarf -thistles, which are gone in a
little season.-Sierra Citizen.

with being thus stationary; she therefore
gently goaded him with her leg, but to no
trot would Sultan condescend-he re-
mained motionless as before, while some
thing very like growl escaped from his
immense and fear inspiring jaws. Out of
all patience, she now exclaimed
You shall feel the spur, then, you
lazy brute, and drove her heel into his
side. He now growled audibly, but stirred
not an inch she repeated her blow. This
was too much for canine patience; he
made spring, and as she fell full length
upon the floor, he turned and bit her hand
The dismounted rider bedewed the floor
with few tears, and then sprang up to
turn out of thereon the uncourteous brute
who had thus rudely shown how little he
understood play.
Towards evening Sir Hugo returned
and inquired with suspicious haste wheth-
er Father Nicholas had been there.
ooh, yes, he was here answered Ange-
lica, but | ventured to refuse his admit

The knight cast triumphant glance at
his squire, and whispered him, Now, old
Wisdom, you see the use of my ordersH
Conrade, who, as may be supposed, had
said nothing of the alteration he had made
in the substance of his embassy, shrugged
his shoulders with smile unperceived by
his master, who had turned again to his
consort, and first perceived that she wore
bandage upon her soft hand! He i'm
mediately inquired the cause.
Sultan bit me, said Angelica, 'and it
is all your fault, Sir Hugo added she,
sobbing.
My fault! cried the knight.
Yes, your fault, and nobody's but
yours, retorted his spouse. If you had
not sent me word by Conrade not to ride
the nasty, mischievous brute, such mad
trick would never have entered my head.
In mute astonishment the knight hur-
ried to seek an explanation from his
squire, who had slipped away when An
gelica began her complaint. What mes
sage did you bring your lady?' demanded
he.
Conrade now confessed the truth.
Were these the orders [ gave you, you
scoundrel?' said the enraged Sir Hugo.

PATIENCE Patience was the child of
Forbearance and Gentleness, and they
lived in the town of Perseverance When
very young, she began to exercise that
virtue which was afterwards named from
her. She was very extraordinary child,
and it has ever been said of her, that she
could work all things. She had an aunt
called Adversely, who troubled her very
much, but, it was observed, that the more
she was subjected to the trials of this re-
lation, the more brightly the lustre of her
character shone forth /; for, while her un-
Gle, Prosperity, was near her, she seemed
to have no opportunity of exercising her
graces. She had grandmother Con her
mothers side) named Meekness, and she
seemed to imbibe many of the qualities
of that excellent lady. She also had
grandfather, Goodness, whose blood SEEM
ed to run in her veins in a large degree.
All who lived in her neighborhood used
to say that she was the loveliest child they
ever beheld. But, although so much
admired, she had no Pride about her,
though Vanity, an old man living in the
vicinity, used to lay claim to relation
ship with her. She was very much
troubled by his daughters, Selfconceit and
Foolishness, but she never retorted in the
least Even they themselves could not
say that they had ever heard an angry
word proceed from her lips, and, although
they tried to disturb and ruffle her uniform
good nature, they never could succeed so
far, as even to be able to say, that she
ever appeared to cherisha wrathful spirit.
She had no hatred about her, neither
would she foster Spite or Malice in her
innocent heart. She made rapid advances
from day to day, in every good word and
work, and her name even became a pro-
verb among all who knew her. Mothers
made her an example to their daughters,
and fathers did not forget her when ad-
monishing their sons. She became more
beloved and respected every day of her
life, by all, for no one could see her with
out admiring her for her many good quail
tiles that adorn the female character,
without the least mixture of anything bad.
In due time she was married to young
gentleman, by the name of Longsufering.
Some of the most distinguished among
her children were Faith, Hope and Charity.

The Beleaguered City.


have read in some old marvellous tale,
Some legend strange and vague,
That a midnight host of spectres pale
Beleaguered the walls of Prague.
Beside the Moldaus rushing stream,
With the wan moon overhead,
There stood, as in an awful dream,
The army of the dead.
White as the sea-fog, landward bound,
The spectral camp was seen,
And, with sorrowful, deep sound,
The river flowed between.
No other voice nor sound was there,
No drum, nor sentry's pace;
The mist-like banners clasped the air,
As clouds, with clouds embrace.
But when the cold cathedral bell
Proclaimed the morning prayer,
The white pavillions rose and fell
On the alarmed air.
Down on the broad valley fast and far
The troubled army fed;
Up rose the glorious morning star
The ghastly host was dead.
have read in the marvellous heart of man
That strange and mystic scroll,
That an army of phantoms, vast and wan,
Beleagured the human soul.
Encamped beside Life's rushing stream,
In Fancy's mystic light,
Gigantic shapes and shadows CLEAN
Portentous through the night.
Upon its midnight battle-ground
The spectral camp is seen,
And with a sorrowful, deep sound,
Flows the river of life between.
No other voice nor sound was there,
In the army of the grave:
No other challenge breaks the air,
But the rushing of Lifes wave
And when the solemn and deep church-bel
Entreats the soul to pray,
The midnight phantoms feel the spell,
The shadows sweep away.
Down the broad Vale of Time afar
The spectral camp is fed;
Faith shineth as a morning star
Our ghastly fears are dead.

Friendship.

Friendship-'tis the dearest pledge
A man may give another;
A trustful leaning on the breast
That animates brother.
A gushing out of soul to soul,
A wedlock of the spirit;
An heirloom that we sons of earth
From Deity inherit.
A sip from out the golden cup
Whose nectar is of Jove;
A draught we cannot taste and be
Unworth another's love.

FROM WASHINGTON.

The following despatch from Washington, dated
the 18th, to the New York Post is the latest advice,
we have. We think it indicates a disagreement Of
the Kansas Conference Committee.
WASHINGTON, April l9.-Ihe House Committee on
Foreign Affairs this morning directed Mr.. Clingman
its chairman, 20 report resolution abrOgating the
Clayton BulWer treaty, cOndemning it both in its
American as well as its British construction, and
authorizing the President to take immediate steps
for its sbrOgatiOn.
The joint Committee Of Conference ont the Kansas
bill met this morning, all the members being present
Mr. Green, on behalf Of the majority of the Sen
ate Committee, submitted several proposed mOdfcs-
tons Of the Senate bill, none Of which proved
acceptable to the House Committee.
Propositions we're then solicited from the House
Committee. Mr.. English responded that at the next
m citing he would submit a new bill the precise
character Of which has not transpired, but it is
understood to be on new line, proposing substitute
for the Lecomptou ordinance and that the question
Of admission under the LecomptOn constitution be
referred to fair vote Of the people Of Kansas at an
early day; if the majority vote for it, Kansas to
come into the Union at once under the Presidents
proclamation if against il, then the bill provides
for the formation Of q new constitution whenever
the population there equals the number required for
member in the United States House of Repre-
senta;Ives.
The committee adjourned till tomorrow. There is
some reason to believe that Mr.. Engsh's bill will
