EVERY man that has read any thing Of the

lion Of time. But now VIC have 'he above Glori-

only drawback to our joy and Qualification is the

North to "eat out our substance" and to wear ont

My purse and my heart to share,
And no brother could be more true than he
For my fortune then was fair
But when it grew clouded he left me-
Fled like bird in the air;
And the world was dark, so dark
For the rain rain'd everywhere
had true love, too,
A maiden with soft brown hair;
The clasp of her hand was warm in mine
And her eyes had loving shine
For my fortunes then were fair
But now she, too, has left me
To battle alone with care;

Thank GoD The most unrelenting
unprincipled, Jacobinical, and corrupt Con-
gress that ever assembled at Washington
has come to an end. Secuted by their
constituents wherever an election has been
held within the last few months, tie ma
jority OF the dominant party in that body
now go reeling home, contemned ard re-
pudiated, never again to appear in public
life Thad. Stevens, Owen Loveioy, and
two or three others Of the party, most in
tent on engineering the nation to destruc-
ton, are spared monuments to present
Themselves in the next Congress, and there
they will take back seat, divested of the
influence which partisan policy has given
them for two years-now impotent for
evil, and Indifferent to anything looking to
the welfare of the country. Whatever else
may betide, the next House of Represen-
tatives will be composed of better, pur-
er, abler more patriotic and conservative
set of men than was spawned upon the ma
ton by the political revolution of 1860
They will not mock at the calamities of the
country. They will not deride and de-
nounce the constituton-the only real
bond Of uniol of the States. They will
not countenance the monstrcus frauds in
every department of the Government which
have made the nations treasury bankrupt,
piled up a debt mountain high and justi-
fed q distinguished Republican member in
saying, that such frauds exceeded the cost
of a whole years administration of Presi-
dent Buchanan-$85,O0 100000 They will,
if there is any faith in man, aim at some
means Of reducing the cost Of the war, if,
before coming into active service, every
department has not become so depraved as
to make this impossible. If a full Con-
gress could be assembled in the next sixty
days, animated by the spirit which, we be-
live, controls those already elected, we
would hope for most uspicious results. As
it is, everything rests with the President.
Most fearful powers have been delegated
to him by the late Congress. The purse,
the sword, the men, the power to do any
thing which his judgment may approve, are
all placed in his hands. 1t is said that,
with the expiring Congress, a new policy

Mayst Thou die among thy Kindred

Mayst Thou die among thy Kindred
When death-dews are falling
On thy pallid brow,
And the hearts mystic fountain
Is ceasing to flow,
When a strange chill is creeping
Der every limb,
And thine eyes soft lustre
Is fast growing dim
May kindred be round thee,
And loved ones be nigh,
To soothe thy Affections,
And breathe sigh for sigh.
Bright skies may bend DER thee,
Fair lands may surround
Kind friends to attend thee
May ever be found.
Yet when thou art summoned
To tread the lone way,
To pass through the valley
Where dark shadows stay,
Thoul't yearn for the presence
Of those early loved,
And list for the voices
Of friends thou hast proved.
o, then amongst kindred
May'st yield up thy breath
And lie down with thy fathers
In the still halls of Death.

mona to Santa Barbara, within 80 mib u
coast. The regularity of the temperature and
the entire absence of both extreme heat and
extreme cold, with a clear sky, a dry atmosphe'
and constant breeze, are the conditions
favorable to health, and they are nowhere more
happily united than here. In the low lands OF
the Sacramento and Colorado basins, where the
summers are very hot, and in the high lands ofthe
Sierra Nevada, where the winters are very cold
the health of the inhabitants is not so good. In
many of the mining towns, where much water
escapes from the bitches, and keeps the air con-
stantly moist, and where new ground is thrown
up every day, fever and ague is common. That
disease prevails also in the moist lands along the
Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, and about
the -Four Creeks in the Tu!are county Rheu-
matism is very common in the mines, and neural
ga throughout the State. Whether this latter
disease is more common here than in the Eastern
States, is matter of dispute, but certainly never
heard SO much Of it elsewhere as have heard in
California. Diseases of tie eyes are very common
here, caused probably by the DUST the dryness of
the atmosphere, the glare of the sun, and the
evaporation of mercury in open pans by the min
ers. The dense fogs which visit the coast render
the climate unfavorable to persons afflicted with
consumption; while presume residence in the
mountains, high above the sea, would be very
likely to cure' that disease, at least in its early
stages. The American women of California are
not healthy, a class. They are trained up IN
the dark and in idleness as though sunshine and
work would ruin them.-Pastry, pickles and
sweetmeats form a considerable portion of their
food and they are taught to abhor coarse strength
and robustness as worse than sins. OF course
they cannot, as women, be healthy. The girls
are beautiful-beautiful as angels, but at 25 the
women begin to whittier, and at 80 they lose near
ly every trace of physical beauty. The diseases
peculiar to women are very common, and whether
for this reason or some other cause, it is very
frequent to see women of 80 or 35, who have one
