CARRYING WATER on Born SHOULDERS
Some of the Union Democrats complain, says
the Sierra News, that their journals are too
cingerly-have not vigor and independence
enough to take secessionism by the scalp
lock aud jerk it out of its confederate boots.
They cannot make this accusation against the
Shasta Courier, Butte Record and Placer
vile News. 1t is true that several OF the
others are carrying water on both shoulders
ploughing with secesh heifers, afraid to come
straight-out Union. Several of them keep
little nigger as hostage for the good beha,
vior of the Administration, with the reserved
right to INN ediately sccede. the moment Old
Abe begins to fool with Sambo: and they
have about as much force and utility as wind
escaping from a dried bladder. We guess
nobody will mistake the sentiments of this
paper. At this particular juncture newspa-
pers are required TO "either fsh. or cut
bait" There is no neutral ground eligible.
In the tumult of actual war. it is no time to
nicely weigh the individual prejAqicss OF
private friends. We hare 10 friends who
are not true to their country in the arbitration
of war, we don't want any of that sort; and
if others choose to get under the fsil oftruth,
let them take therthrashing.

STRENGTH OF A KIND WoRD.-Some peo
Pile are very apt to use harsh, angry words,
perhars because they think they will be
obeyed more promptly. They talk loud
swear and storm, though after all they are
only laughtsd at; their orders arc forgotten
and their i'll temper is remembered. How
strong is kind word. 1t will do what the
harsh word or blow cannot do, it viii subd @

wonders Even the dog, tho eat, the horse,
though they do not know what you say. can
tell when You speak kind word to them
A man was one day driving cart along the
street. The horse was drawing . heavy
load, and did not turn, as tho man wished
him. The man in ill-tempter, beat the
horse the horse reared and plunged, but
he either did not or would not go in the
right way. Another man who was with the
cart went up to the horse, and patted him
on the neck and called him by his name. =
Tie horse turned his head and fixed his
large eyes on the man as though he would
say, u will do anything for you, because
YOU are kind to me, and bending his broad
chest against the load, turned tho cart down
the narrow lane. and trotted on briskly as
though the load were plaything. Oh
how strong is a kind word
