Rright Days in Winter.

Bright days in winter are as jewels set
Within the dark rim of an iron crown;
Or as the rich smile, almost never met,
Upon face stern habit trains to frown.

Their seanty food, and limbs numoed oy the

Dare wo pour forth our true-love melodies
The IeaAess trees, adorned with shining moss
And silver liehens on their rugged roots'
In the bright sunlight, half redeem the loss
Of their spring robes, or richer autumn SUITS
Are not bright days stray links ofthe great 0nAin

Morning.


From rounded hills and dimpling wales
Nights shadowy shrouds unfold
And the lonely star of morning Pales'
And the mists are batned in gold.
Soft zephyrs are breathing from the west
Over the ripping corn,
And the ruby kiss of the sun is press
On the white brow Of the morn
The flowers shake OF their dewy sleep,
And the petaled eyes unelOse
With innocent looks on the calm blue deep,
That curtains their repose.
From nesting homes, all leaf-emboWered'
The birds pour matin songs,
And fields and river-banks are showered
With newborn insect throngs-
All things are glad at the wakening breath

Passeth upon its way: .... t.

When under heavenly skies,
While the morn of another life is breaking'

Peace and Good Will.
BY WIZ. T. uRoUnART.

Peace and good will, so sang the angel minstreis,
Through the calm night:on old Judoa's Plains'
When, as the golden gates of Heaven opened,
The wondering shepherds heard the immortal
strains.
Peace and good Wilt oh, sound ofjOy and bless
ing,
Across Times ocean waited sweet and clear,
ThelIngering tones of Heavens own choirs pos
sessing,
Pe it our watchword for the coming year.
Peace and good will above the battles turmoii'
Still may that carol sound to us to-day r'-
From those pure regions where it hrst was
echoed,
Like music breathing from the for away.
Peace and good will oh, waiting wives and mo-
theirs,
Whose loving eyes are dimmed with anxious care'
Oh, little children, spotless as the angels
Be this the tenor of your Christmas prayer;-
"Oh, God of Peace, who holdest all the nations
Within the hollow of Thy mighty Hand,
Establish Peace within our countrys oorders'
And heal the sorrows of this bleeding land"

The Maiden's Prayer.

She rose from her delicious sleep,
And put away her soft brown hair,
And. in tone as low and deep
As loves first whisper, breathed prayer;
Her snow white hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast
Just swelling with the charms it hid.
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped bare and snowy foot,
Whose step upon the Garth did press
Like q sweet snow fake, soft and mute
And then from slumbers soft and warm,
Like young spirit fresh from Heaven
She bowed that young and matehless form'
And humbly prayed to befOrgiven.
Oh, Godi if souls as pure asthese
Need daily mercy from thy throne
If she upon her bended knees,
Our holiest and purcst one
She with face so clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child OF light
If she, with those soft eyes and tears,
Day after day, in her young years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from thee,
How hardly ifshe win not heaven, -.
Will our wild errors be forgivenl

VOLUME 2 NUMBER 81
Things that do not look exactly right To
honest men. stt

| 1t may be truly said that we live In
strange times. Each day events are trans
spring which are not only calculated to as.
tonish and surprise people, but to shock
their ideas of moral honesty and fair DEAL
! ing. We mere especially allude to the
acts of those who are called to rule over u.s.,
and who are responable for acts which do
not look exactly right to those of our peo-
| pie who believe in fair dealing, and that
'justice should be done even if the heavens
fall" 1t may be "disloyal" to point out q
few of the acts which "are calculated to-
bring the Admin istration into disrepute" by
questioning its fairness and honesty, yet We
have no besitancy In calling the attention
of our readers to few things that don't look
exactly right to honest and upright men.
In the first place it does not look exactly
right to see men who have robbed the gov
ernment out of thousands and even millionG
of dollars, either go "scott free" or be mere
ly ordered under arrest and allowed the
greatest freedom of person; while at the,
same time other men whose only crime
consists in words spoken in debate or words
dropped in an exciting argument. are cast
into prison and compelled to lay there for
months, and suffer all the tortures of prison
life, before they permitted hearing before
the courts.
1t does not look right TO see ana near
such men as Wendell Phillips, Lloyd Gar
rsou & Co., denouncs the Constitution al
"league with he'll and covenant with the
devil" and yet remain in possession of their
freedom, and receive econiums from the
very man who banishes Mr.. Vallandighauf
for fear he would say something In public
debate against his Administration, or 1t you
please the government.
It does not look right to see our rulers
insist upon a war of exterminstion against
the South for violating the Constitutions :
while at the same time our rulers claim
the right to violate the same instrument.
in order to make the South obey it.
There are many other things that do not
look exactly right to honest men, and the
people will, 'ere long, see that those who
are now outragng every principle of hon-
esty and fair dealing, get their just deserts.
and those who now uphold these dishonest
acts will yet hide their heads in shame.

This is the day appointed for the draft,
We have heard of no organization among
the democrats TO resist IL, such as the abolt-
tionists of New England formed in 1914 to-
resist the conscriptiou contemplated at that
time in the prosecution of the war against
Great Britain. One of the objects of the
Hartford Convention was to devise means
for such resistance to the conscription :
which, says combined Federal and aboli-
ton historian of Connecticut, was very OBJ
noxious to the freedom loving people OF
New England and would not have been
quietly submitted to for the prosecution OF
a detestabIe and odious war; That's fair
sample of how abolitionists are wontto sup
port the government. Dubuque Herald.

Tennessee and Alabama have been sub
stantially cleared of insurgent control, ana
influential citizens in each, owner OF slaves
and advocates of slavery at the beginning OF
the rebellion. now declare openly for eudan-'
cipation in their respective States
This is not only not true, but it is utterly
false. Mr.. Lincoln cannot give the name OF
single influential citizen, the owner OF
slaves who has declared for emancipation.

How TO END THE WAR.-An Eastern
paper correctly remarks that the last and
only hope of the rebels now have for their
independence, as they term it, is in the
success Of their friends, the Copperheads
and sympathizers with their treason, at
the North. in the coming Presidential
election: Elect candidate selected by
their friends, and they will continue the
war until the 4th of March, when thew no
doubt have the assurances of Woods and
Yallandighams, Walls, and other conspir-
ators in their favor, that they will have all
their demands satisfied, and their /" Con-
federacy acknowledged. On the con-
trsry, If defeated, and Mr.. Lincoln is re-
elected, they will then fully comprehend
that there is no hope for them, and will
soon melt away, the leaders taking them
selves off to Mexico, or elsewhere, wher-
ever they can escape to. The war viii be
virtually at an end the day it is known
that Mr.. Lincoln is reelected. Mark the
prediction.

A BRIGHTER Day pAwN1Ne,

The San Francisco Argus is one of our
best and most reliable authorities upon
finance and the condition of the mining
stock market. In its issue of Thursday
we find the following article. Relying as
We do upon its correctness, we take
pleasure in repubhshing it. 1t gives
strength to q conviction that we have for
some time past entertained, that there is
bright day dawing to succeed the Arctic
night which has brooded over Washoe for
the past six months. The faint glimmer
of the approaching morn has been visible
TO Us for some weeks past. Every indica-
ton has been that business was awaken
ing from its lethargy, and that something
like the good old days of yore" was
returning upon US. The article which we
quote from the ArgWS shows that the re-
turning confidence is felt at the Bay, and
that stocks having any basis of character
are in fair and increasing demand. Among
other stocks favorably mentioned is the
Green" We should be glad to mention
. this circumstance, were it not that Oulla-
han, the Superintendent, is such blarst-
ed old Copperhead that it goes against our
loyalty to wish him any luck. This is the
article from the Argus:
That there is increased and increasing ac
tiyity in the stock market cannot be denied.
The aggregate amount Of stock sales has,
within the last ten days, Quadrupled itself;
and, though we cannot affirm prices, taken
as whole, are higher, il is evident that the
business done is considerable enough to mark
4 reaction in the public mind, and gradual
return to the old channel, down which, since
81, the larger part of California capital has
passed. Old and new stocks are equally sub
jeet TO the revival, the general persuasion be-
ing that recent disasters have introduced
quite a new order Of things into all the lead
ing mines, and that the DAYS of profigate
waste and glaring incapacity are gone by
forever.
Under the adverse influence Of the reports
we alluded to yesterday, and Of further sin
lister developments, Gould s. Curry has to-
day dropped considerably. The true history
ofthe late oscillations in the fall of this stock
viii probably never be known. II is the in
terest of too many that it should pass into
oblivion. The days quotation of this, as Of
other stocks, will be found below.
Moscow is still very lively, as many as 225
feet having changed owners at the morning
Board. The cause Of this excitement is,
most likely, known to its promoters.
\ new star Of the comet order has APP
peared very brightly on the street, with sub
dued radiance on the Board. 1t is named
"Green," and its locality is Gold Hill. II |
will be observed that of this new favorite no |
less than ninety feet was disposed of al first |
Board, the second producing only the closing |
price Of the morning, which holders re-
fused.
II will be seen that at the second Board (
Moscow retained the lead, so many as l20 |
feet changing hands at previous prices.

pending trial of the injunction will of course |
for some days influence prices.

The word Honorable . is used by wrii-
tiers Of modern times very literally. 1t
hath divers Specifications, subject to the
VIII OF the writer, and depending, to a very
considerable extent, upon the character of
the individual to whom the adjective is to
be applied. The gentleman whom the late
Buzzard's Roost at Carson City nominated
for Governor of the unmatched State of
Nevada 1--WE know that he is a gentleman,
else the buzzard's would not have NOM
mated him) is yclept the Honorable "
David L. Buel. As we said before, the
word /" Honorable" hath many signitica-
tons, subject to the will Of he who ap-
pheth the adjective. 1t may be used IN
good faith; sisnifying that he TO whom
the adjective is applied, hath in the brief
period allotted to man, done some thing,
some act, some deed. which in the estima-
ton of the common herd entitleth him to
honor. 1t may also be used in another
sense, the sense sarcastical, which is, or
rather has been made use of by Latin au-
thors, in a sense which may be conveyed
in the Latin phrase I'm aRo-porci"; a
phrase which was, several years since BAN
ished from polite society. Again, the
term " Honorable" has been applied to
members of theIegislature. which prosti-
tuition of photography has "let the term
out" among decent men. This term has
been applied to David E. Buel, the present
nominee of the Copperhead party for Gov
ernor. In what sense the term Honor
able is applied to Mr.. Buel, we leave out,
as a matter of taste. to those who NOM
mated him. We shall not vote for him,
not sailing in that boat, as it were. 1t
may not in fact be considered any of our
id business. So much for the Hon
orable" part of David E. Buel. We know
the gentleman by sight; also by reputa-
llOu. I1G ID Il yeuS IlaA. "hSh VIC ooS
he is great man, we mean that there is
great deal of him. He stands about six
feet four inches high. in dirty socks.
There the story of his greatness comes to
an abrupt termination -" bit off" as it
were. Other men have achieved a reputa-
ton for greatness through certain qualities
of the mind; but D. E. Buel, Esq. did not
throw himself away in that fashion. He
is, however, the nominee of the Copper
head party for Governor. If we were
COpperhead We should vote for Dave
Buel; but we shall be so busy, on next
election day, that we shall not have time
to vote Copperhead ticket. We may,
never meet thee David. on this sublunary
planet; if so, then,
Fare thee well. and If forever.
Then, forever fare thee we'll.
