The Poor Voter on Election Day;
By John 9. WHITTIER.


The proudest now is but my peer,
The highest not more high;
To-day, of all the weary year,
a king of men am i.
To-day, alike are great and small.
The nameless and the known;
Ny palace is the peoples hall,
The ballot-box my throne
Who serves to-day upon the list
Beside the served shall stand;
Alike the brown and wrinkled fist,
The gloyed and dainty hand
The rich is level with the poor,
The weak is strong to-day;
And sleekest broadcloth counts no more
Than homespun frock ~ gray.
To-day let pomp and vain pretenes
My stubborn right abide;
set plain mans common sense
Against the pedant's pride.
To-day shall simple manhood try
The strength of gold and land;
The wide world has not wealth to buy
The power in my right hand
While there's grief to seek redress.
Or balance to adjust
Where weighs our living manhood less
Than Mammon's vilest dust
While there's right to need my vote,
A wrong to sweep away,
Up clouted knee and ragged coat
A mans a man to- day

No Use for Frowsers.

On the morning of the meteoric shower
in 1889, old Peyton Roberts, who intended
making an early start to his work, got up
in the midst of the display. On going TO
his door, he saw, with amazement, the sky
lit up with the falling, meteors, and he con-
cluded at once the world was on fire, and
that the day of Judgement had come. He
stood for moment gazing in speechless
terror at the scene, and then with yell OF
horror sprang out of the door into the yard,
right into the midst of the falling stars, and
there. in his efforts to dodge them, he COM
menced series of ground tumbling that
would have done honor to rope dancer
His wife, being awakened in the meantime,
and seeing old Peyton jumping and skip
ping about the yard, baWled out to him to
know what in the name of common sense
he was doin' out thar, dancin' round with
out his clothes on. But Peyton heard not.
The judgement, and long back accounts he
would have to settle, made him needless oil
all terrestrial things, and his wife, by this
time becoming alarmed at his behavior,
s,orang out of bed, and running to the door,
SIR ieked out, at the top of her lungs

The Pacific Railroad.

The two great AngloSaXon nations, Eng land and the United States, are contending now peacefully for a prize, of more importance to them respectively than any that was ever gain on the tented field. They are contendng for the trade of the Pacific and the nation that suc- ceeds in winning it will have attained tri- umph the results Of which will bafle ,ll attempts at an estimate. Ii is not alt tie upoh the Cen tral American Isthuus that rhis question is to be decided. Over the continent of America the rails are to be laid that will connect the ports of the Pacific with those of the Atlantic Our government was first in the field with its several corps O. en yineer olicers, surveying the most appropriate route for this great national work, and Congress has been engaged during the present session in endeavorng to mature plan for carrying out the enterprise. Three routes are proposed for the road-a Southern one, crossing New Mexico at Fl Paso or AlLur- querque; a central one, crossing the Rocky Mountains at the South Pass and Northern one, starting from the head of Lake Superior, and crossing Oregon to the Pacific The prob ability is that one road only will be authorized by some future Congress, and that the selection of that road will be left to the Executive-f the road is to be bnilt by the government-or to the contractors, if that mode of building 1t shall be preferred The estimated cost of one rOad IS hundred millions 0f dollars. but we think that g .hQpased and 6agss @il ;Cns 7gonld be much nearer the mark. If the three roads are to be built, the aggregate cost to the gov ernment will not fall short olive hundred mill: ions of dollars
 In the meantime, and while rival interests are contending in and out of Congres over the location of the road and the mode of building 1t, the British government has gone to work and sent out parties of engineers to survey route from Lake Superior, through its own territories, to the Pacific This road would open the fer tile valleys of Saskatchewan and Red river of the North, make available the gold mining re- zion of Frazer river and divert the trade of the Pacific through the lakes to Quebec. Thus there are in contemplation four routes, to the Pacific over the continent, the average cost of which cannot be less than one hundred and fifty millions of dollars, or six hundred millions for the whole.

Mules for Farm Work.

We found in Burlington Co., N. J., that mules were the reliance for all kinds of team ing on the road, and for farm work they are in universal use. A friend told us that ten years ago he bought six pairs which he has in use now, worth to-day all he gave for hem. It is a well known fact that where they have been long used, they are bought and sold without ref erence to their age, after they get over six or eight years of age, and it is not unusual to know of their reaching the age of fifty years in good working vigor Mules with equal size and quality with fine carriage horses are not very rare and bring an equal price. Common, young well broken mules are worth more than horses of equalsize Well broken, and free from tricks, at three or four years old, q mule with ordinary treatment, coarser fare, and harder work, will outlast and outwork at least three good horses When they are young, say from three to seven years old, they often show great speed, and make excellent, sprightly saddle and carriage beasts but after this age, especially if put tc hard work, they geta heavy loggy gait, whicf is abundantly rapid for all farm work but the ac tivity and sprightliness so requisite in car riage horse is usually lost

Change of Indian Policy in Texas.

We noticed at some length, last week, the bad policy of maintaining in New Mexico so many weak and inefficient military posts they being heavy expense to government without afording due security to the inhsCitants So far as these one company posts altord an op- portunlty to the officers of drawing double ra- tions and furnish additional expense in the way of contracts and transportation, they an- swer very good purpose, but as defence against Indians they are comparatively worth less This view of the case is taken by the able and experienced Commander of the De partment of Texas General Twggs The fol- lowing article from the San Antonio Herald, which came to hand after our remarks were published, explains the policy determined upon in regard to Texas. We sncerel thope it may socn be adopted in New Mexico X

The Admission of Oregon.

The Union numbers thirty-three sovereign States The House of Representatives, on Saturday. passed the Senate bill admitiIrg OHy egon by vote of l IA to l03 The yeas and nays are given in our regular Washington teIe- graphic dispatch It will be seen that the Ad ministraton men generally voted affirmatively, and the opposition negatively though there were exceptions on both sides. SHORTER of AL abama, and SMITH, of Virginia, voted against the admission of the new State, and NICHOLS, of Ohio, and CoLFAx, of Indiana, for it.
 The admission of new State into the Un- ion of States is an event calculated to produce a glow ofnationaI pride and to enlist the hearty sympathies of the people of all States.-Oregon Is vast in territory, with incalculable aStara resources and hardy, intelligent ehserprising population Her position upon the map of our country is one that all must regard with high satisfaction and solicitude. However great the distance that separates us, her people are our kindred, and the flag that flies over them in the breeze from the Pacific, is the same that floats over us Their rivers aad ours Fnrs to different oceans, but their affections and ours as citizens are bound up in the same nationlity.

PrcTUREs-A room with pictures in it, and room without pictures differ by nearly as much as a room with windows and a room with out windows Nothing, we think, is more mel ancholly, particularly to person who has to pass much time in his room, than blank walls, with nothing on them; for pictures are loop holes of escape to the soul, leading it to other scenes and other spheres It is such an inex- pressible relief to person engaged in writing, or even reading, on looking up, not to have his line of vision chopped off by an odous white wall, but to find his soul escaping as it were, through the frame of an exquisite picture, to other beautiful and perhaps heavenly scenes where the fancy for moment may revel, re- freshed and delighted. Thus pictures are con- solers of loneliness; they are relief to the ja- bed mind they are windows to the imprisoned thought; they are books; they are histories and sermons, which we can read without the trouble of turning over the leaves.
