THE pAUrER,s DEATH.

The pauper lay on his straw bed,
In a hovel woful and dreary;
A nale. thin woman was bathing his head,
With eyes a-weary-
With ewes a.weary with watching and grief,
And tired with weeping;
For she had watched through the dismal hours
And he still was sleeping
Dismally blew the wind without,
And the cold rain battered dOwnj
And the shutters badged with u noisy rout-
The noisiest things in town.
Yet the paupcr siept--he was dreaming
OSmany pleasant scene
Ofboyhood's days-of loves first beaming-
OF the sunny village green
He saw his mothers cheerful face
lie heard her tender tones;
All. he was child when he saw her last
Now earth doth hide her bones.
Ten long hours the wife hath sat
Beside her husbands bed,
with ewes a.weary, and tired and weak,
For she has got no bread
Nothing To eatl--nothing to eatI
Huneer's a pitiless foe
No marley makes he--he must have his need
Where can the poor wife goS
Histl histl--he murmurs in his sleepi
Something he fan wouldsay;
His pale lips part with a pleasing tone
"SomethiDg to eat ! prayl"
Three days have passed-they were awful days
Since hunger dunning can'e-
A tireless wight in the gloomy night
His cry Is ever the same.
Sad Is the sight Of drowning man,
And horrid his dismal cry
And awful 10 see IN your midnight dreams
The glare Of his sinking eyel
Yet what are these TO lingering death,
With hunger at your bedsider
And nothing to cheer the fantlng heart
But the smile Of your skeleton bridef
Dismally, disnally blew the wind,
And heavily fell the rain;
patient watch did the poor wiie keep,
nor ever did she complain.
tsome brcadl some breadl' the pauper cries,
And gives plteous moan;

Where the lights so boldly shine;
And merrily pass the jest and song,
And sparklss the glowing wine.

Fashion and frolic can meier find time
To give the poor thoughtW
Then the bowling blast went rushing past
AS the nends wero out at play;
And each garing eye, as they hurried by,
Gazed where the pauper layi
Then the poor wife knet by the husbands side
And her thin lips moved to pray.

Alasl II II were not so,
Where, In their dreadful hour OF need,
Where would the weary gog
Like incense rare Is the iervent prayer
or the humble and the low.

The starved pauper lay;
Nor ever again through heart or vein
Shall the crimson current play.

The Magnificence of the Drive.

The s. f. Herald publishes graphic
description of a trip across the continent by
mail stage, from which we clip this passage:
What saved us from monotony was the
frequent changes Of horses Every three or
four hours gave an opportunity to get out
and lounge for fifteen or twenty minutes, or
walk ahead along the road. And very fire
quently there was the interest of desperate
fight with the horses, wild, halfbroken ami.
mails in many instances. The wbeeers are
put in, the leaders bro't as near as may be
to their places the driver gels up and takes
his rens, the conductor aud station keeper

ton, just enough hastily to hitch the traces;

rearing and plungng, sometimes sideways
sometimes forward; the conductor scrambles
up to bis seat, two, or three or four heads
look out of the window to see the start but
the driver is too cool hand and the pace
too rapid. very short distance sobers
down the plunging leaders and the team is
quiet, until the next station introduces new
actors, perhaps mules, and new aud more
obstinate fight.
And so station after station of the long
distance is passed 10y until we begin to be
impressed with a sort of magnifcence in
the idea of four undistinguished travellers,
each in his corner Of the coach, rolling along
with so much regularity in places where
horses are so wild and meals so dark; fnd.
ing fresh changes waiting for them, and sill
keeping on for thousands Of miles through
such deser; places without losing an hour
And as this goes on day after day, and week
after week the impression increases until we
are thoroughly awake to the greatness of
this enterprise and the magnificeuce Of the
ride.

Walking q Raft.

There was fellow once stepped out Of
tavern on the Mississippi, meaning to wal
mile up the shore to the next tavern. Jus
at the landing there lay big raft, one G
the regular old fashioned whalers--a raft
mile long.
Well, the fellow heard the landlord sa
the raft was a mile long. and he said to him
self II will 90 forth and see this great won
der and let my eyes behold the timber
which the hand of man hath hewn." So h'
got on at the lower end, and began to am
bulae over the wood in pretty fair time
Bot just as he got started, and as he wake(
up the river it walked down, both travelling
at The same rate. When he got to the end
of the sticks, he found they were pretty neal
ashore, and in sight Of tavern; so he land
ed, and walked straight into the bar room
he'd como out of. The general sameness o
things took him little aback; but he look
ed at the landlord steady in the face, and
settled it in his own way:
"Ppbllcan," said he, ARE you gifted with
twin brother, who keeps a similar sized
tavern, with a duplicate wife, a COMFORTING
wood pile, and corresponding circus bill, a
mile from here!'
The tavern keeper was fond of fun, and
accordingly said it WAS just so.
"And publican, have you among your dry
goods for the entertainment of man and
horse, any whisky of the same size of that
of your broher's?'
And the tavern man said, that from the
rising of the sun, even unto the going down
of the same he had
They took the drinks, when the stranger
said:
"Publcan that twin brother Of yours is a
fine young mana very fine man, indeed
But do you know, I'm afraid that he suffers
good deal with the Chicago dptheraY
"And what's thai?' asked the todd stcker.
"lt's when the truth settles so firm in a
man that none of it ever comes ont. Com
mon doctors of the catnip sort, call i, lyn.'
When | left your brothers confectionery,
there was a raft at bis door which he swore
his life to was mile long. Well, publican,
| walked that raft from bill to tail, from his
door to yours. Now, know my time, an

Who are the Disunionists?

Read the following extracts, and tel us
who are the disunionsts. The States emu
merated below have, from the time of the
passage of their traitorous laws been prac-
tically out ofthe Union. They have nulifed
the laws of the United States and set the
authority of the General Government at de-
fiance, and yet Republicans, with unparalleled
eHrontery, denounce the South, whose rights
they have wantonly invaded and outraged as
disunionists because they will not tamelv
submit to have their rights under the Con
stitution and laws of the United States thus
invaded and outraged by the Abolition hordes
of these Abolition States. The New York
Herald Of the 10th November, says:
We publish below an account of the
Northern States which prohibit their officials
the Federal Fugitive Slave Law, and which,
by their action, have boldly nullifed the Con
stitution of the United States, They are as
follows: Maine, New York, Connecticut,
Rhode Island New Hampshire, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Massachusetts, Yer
mont, Iowa and Indiana.
The States which deny the use of public
edifces in aid of the master are: Maine,
Rhode Island, Vermont, Michigan, and Mas
sachusetts.
The States which provides defence for the
fugitives are: Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts,
New York. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wis
consin.
The States which declare the fugitive free,
if brought by his master into the State, are:
New Hampshire and Vermont.
The State that declares him free absolutely
is New Hampshire

imposed in the several States on the officers

The use of RaWhide.

How few persons know the value Of raw

A South Carolina Federal Court,

In the Pony Express news of the Alta is
the following:
Mail account are now at hand of tie res
ignalion of certain of the Federal officers
of South Carolina.
The United States District Court assem-,
bIed, and the grand jury being questioned as
to whether it had presentmtnts to make, re-
piled as follows:
The verdict of the Northern portion OF
the confederacy, solemnly announced to the
country through the ballot box on Yesterday,
has swept away the last hope for the per-
manence, for the stability Of the federal gov
ernment of these sovereign States; and The
public mind is constrained to lift itself above
tie consideration of details in the admins
tration of law and justice up to the vast and
solemn issues which have been forced upon
us. These issues involve the existence of
the government of which this Court is the
organ and minister. In these exlraol dinary
circumstances tie grand jury respectfully
decline to proceed with their presenments.
They deem this explanation due to the Court
and to themselves
The Judge Of the Court, Hon. A. G. Nc
Graih, then rose in his seat and resigned his
office. SAYING:
In the political history of the United
States an event has happened of ominous
import to fifteen slave holding States. The
State of which we are citizens has been al
ways undersood to have deliberately fixed
its purpose whenever the event should hap
pen. Feeling an assurance of what will be
the action of the State, consider it my du-
ty, without delay, to prepare to obey its
wishes. That preparation is made by the
resignation Of the office | have held For
the last time | have, as Judge of the Uni
ted States, administered the laws of the
United States within the limits of the State
of South Carolina. While thus acting in
obedience to sense of duty, cannot be
Indifferent to the emotions it must produce
The department of Government which, |
believe, has best maintained its integrity
and preserved its purity, has been suspended.
So far as | am concerned, the Temple of
Justice, raised under the fair Constitution Of
the United States is now closed If it shall
be never again opened thank God that its
doors have been closed before its altar has
been desecrated with sacrifices to tyranny.
May not say to you that in the future
which we are about to penetrate, next to the
reliance we should place in the goodness of
that God who will guide us in the right way
should be our confidence in our State and
our obedience to its laws. We are about to
sever our relations with others, because they
have broken their covenant with us. Let us
not break tie covenant we have made with
each other. Let US not forget that what the
laws of our State require, become our dn-
ties. And that he who acts against the wish,
or without the commands of his State,
usurps the sovereign authority which we
must maintain inviolate
The address was received with profound
silence, and during it delivery many of the
spectators were in tears. James Connor,
the U. S. Attorney, then made brief ad,

A Coon IDEA.-Several applications for
foreclosure Of mortgage we're recently made
in the Stockton District Court, but all were
denied until the plaintiffs could show that
they had paid the taxes thereon. There is a
law on our statute books requiring that per
sons having money out on mortgage shall
pay tax on such funds, and in default there
of the mortgages cannot be forecosed. The
Courts of San Francisco should be as strict
in this matter as the Stockton Court. Some
of the Shylock's who are assessed for only
$500 might then be made to pay some
thing near their share Of taxes. s. p. CdN.
