Night approaches. the last ray of the
sun has faded from our sight-it is night,
dark, dreary night The earth is cnvelOp-
cd in mantle of black; the birds have
gone to their rest. and man also seeks re-
pose. The moon and stars (nature's can
dles.) steal forth-what a glorious sight to
behold! We do not lament when night
approaches, for we know that the san will
rise again; nc know it will be light in the
morning.
But soon the shade is Withdrawn from
the Garth; night clothed in her dark nan
tie, fees awayat the approach Of day. Lis
ten! the sweet song of the lark is heard
rising to meet the sun; soon the sun bursts
forth. full of glory, and cverything,is full
of life. -7.
But is there rot night approachiRg.
dark. dismal night hut should I say dark?
1t is not dirk to all. but it is dark, very
dark to those that have nct-the Eght-for
there Is but one light bright enough to PEN
citrate the darkness Of the night Of death.
Then can all say it will be light in the
morning? All! when will morning come?
Never. nsrer, to those that have not the
bright lamp. the only lamp that will guide
them through the dark valley of death
But to those that have it, it viii show the
path to everlasting day.

True PoLITEHESs He who has 4 heart
glowing with kindness and good will to-
wards his fellow men. and who is guided
in the exercise Of those feelings by good
common sense is the truly polite man. PO-
litenrss does not consist in wearing white
silk glove, and grsa fully lifting your hat
when you meet an acquaintance; it does
not consist in artificial smiles and fatter-
ing speeches but in silence AMI honest de-
sires to promote the happiness of those a.
round you; in the readiness to sacriioe
your own ease and comfort, to add to the
comfort and enjoyment Of others

IF WE KNEW.

If We knew the cares and crossrs
Crowling round our nrig. boris way,
Ii We kLew the little losses,
Sorely grievuus. day by day,
Would We then So often ehi,ie him
For his lack of thrift and gain
Leaving ON his heart shadow,
Leaving on our lives stain.
II We knew the clouds above US,
Held 10y gentle dressings there,
Would We turn away all trembling,
Ia our hlind and weak dcsl air!
Would We shrink frum little shadows,
Lying ON the dewy grass,
While It's only Lir,is of Eden.
Just in mercy fl, ing I.as,?
If We knew the silent stury,
CuivrriHg the heart Of rain.
Would our Womanlcol dare doom them
Back to haunts of gui.t again?
Life hath many 4 tangled cr.ssirg,
JOY hath many i.re;,k Of woe.
And the che-ks, tear washed, ar. wait.st.
This the blessed angels krow.
Let US reach within our bosoms,
For the key to oth,r's liv.s.
And. with love towar Is crriug nature,
Cherish good that still survives;
S" that, wi'en "ur lisroacl spirits
Su..r To rra'n.s I'll gilt again.

LET Us Re- JoYF-LL-A little mirth
mixes well and proftabIy with both busi-
ness and philanthrOphy. How stupid life
would lie, both in labor and in leisure,
without that gaiety within Us which re-
spends to the cheerfulness and beauty a.
round Us. Nay. its main currents run all
the deeper, as well as fresher and pureF
for the light trills Of joyousness that.
laughing, flashing. throw themselves int"
them. The rivers would stagnate into
pools if the rivulets ceased to play. Phil
osopheIs and men of business save their
souls alive. and keep their intellects fresh
and healthy, by mingling their mirth-
fulness cf youth with the soberness Of
age; and even fun and philanthrophy are
often found in the same character.

The News.

The Pony Express arrived in Carson City
on Monday, 7th inst, with news from St.
Joseph and St. Louis to the 2slh of April.
Four days proceedings of the Democratic
National Convention are given down to
Friday evening, the 27th. Fournoy, of Ar
kansas, was temporary Chairman, and Caleb
Gushing, of Massachusetts, the permanent
Chairman of the Convention. A rule was
adopted allowing individual delegates, when
not instructed, to vote separately, instead of
being compelled to vote as q majority Of
their delegations might determine. The
friends of Douglas claimed the adoption of
this rule as a triumph for their candidate and
say he will secure twenty votes by it.
The Douglas delegation from Illinois were
admitted to the Convention as being proper
ly entitled to their seats. The regular dele
gates from New York were also admitted,
and the Wood delegates excluded.
The Convention determined to adopt
Platform before ballotng for any candidates.
On Thursday it was stated the Committee
v" tHO 4 'u'W'ti NNuiu NO ulidui0 W dSIee
upon q report, and on Friday, they came
into Convention with majority and two
minority reports. Their substance will be
found in an article headed The Platform"
in another column.
Throughout Friday these platforms were
discussed, and on the adjournment question
upon voting upon them was pending.
This is the latest news of the Convention,
and leaves the reader at an interesting stage
of the proceedings, in n maze of uncertainty
until the arrival of the next Express.
Nothing of note had occurred in the Con
gressional proceedings.
The resuscitalion Of letter of President
Buchanan to Robert J. Walker, while the lat.
considerable interest.
The late speech Of Senator Latham re-
ceives many encomiums as a brilliant oralo-
rical effort.
OF the prize fight between Heenan and
Sayers, there is an account from England
that it took place on the l7th of April, and
that they fought thirty nine rounds, lasting
two hours and eight minutes Ieenan
knocked Sayers down frequently, and on the
last round got his head "in chancery," and
was Furnishing him severely, when the crowd
broke into The ring and stopped the fight.
Neither WAS declared winner This account
is received with great distrust by the daily
press Of California, and some consider the
account hoax.
In political affairs from Europe, Sicily is
represented as in a State of insurrection.
An insurrection in Naples had been put

UNSATISFACTORY On Monday, when TIE
Pony Express came in, all were anxious to
obtain the news, and a pony purse was quick
ly made up for telegra hing-but twas no
l,se-;he Sacramento Union had rented the
institution. Twenty four hours of suspense
had to be endured until the Union came to
hand. Then the contents OF its columns
were eagerly gulped down - after which,
there was an ntermission for "cussing"-
Think of it. twenty four hours OF anxiety
and nothing satisfactory at last! It was
grievious! just rs the proceedings of the
Convention had reached a eliminating point
of interest, and a vote was to be taken on
the platform, that body adjourned, and the
Pony had the bad taste to leave. just as
Heenan got the head of Tom Sayers in a
coed position for punching, the crowd inter
fered, and the Pony 'got up and busted"
Pshaw!

SHOOTING AFFAIR-FATAL REsULT-A
shooting affair occurred in the Condor
Saloon, Michigan Bluff, on Sunday evening
last that resulted in the death of bvstand
er who was in no way concerned in the diff
Guilty. Two men, named Britlen and Dewitt.
had quarreed during the day, but the latter
wishing to avoid trouble left the other, and
they did not meet again until evening, when
they both happened to be in the Condor
Saloon, when Britten who it seems had en-
gagged in another quarrel, noticed Dewitt,
and made demonstration to draw pistol
Dewitt anticipated him, and fired first
Three other shots were afterwards fired in
quick succession, and Dewitt left the ground
1t was then discovered that Dr. Willis. a
miner, who was in the room at the time, had
been shot dead.
Britten and Dewitt were afterwards ar
rested, and upon examination, the latter
was committed. We understand there is
much sympathy manifested at Michigan
Bluff for Dewitt If bis shot was the fatal
one, no one believes it was intended, as he
WAS friendly to deceased.

BACHELoRs IloMEsTEADs.-In another
column will be found the law, passed bv the
last Legislature, providing for the reserva-
ton of homesteads for Bachelors and other
unmarried persons 1t should have been in
our statutes long ago. but it is in time to be
of benefit to many persons in the State. 1t
will no doubt be an encouragement to many
to secure a home here, who previously have
not thought of doing so. This law has met
a hearty approval in various parts Of the
State, and will doubtless come into as much
favor as the Homestead law for married
persons A homestead of the value of
$1,000 it is true is not of great value
($2, 800 would have been nearer the mark)
but even this much is recognition of the
just claims of the honorable fraternity of
bachelors and spinisters by our law makers
This law owes its paternity to Senator
Anderson. He made gallant fight for it
in two sessions of the Legislature, and his
efforts were finally crowned with success
Bachelors and maidens will hold him in
grateful remembrance therefor.

A DAY OF REsT-Mr Wilson announces
in another column, that hereafter his gro
Gerry store will not be open for business on
Sundays. Mr. W., as well as many other
traders through the country have become
weary of the system that requires a business
man to open his store every day of the week,
and gives him no relaxation whatever. As
lar as our information goes merchants and
traders were anxious for the passage Of a
Sunday law, so there might be a suspension
of business one day of tho week, and re-
lief from abor, but they were disappointed.
Mr.. Wilson now intends adopting a Sun
day law for himself. He is setting a good
example.
