Young Colorado has fred the first gun

there show that the State Constitution mas
been adopted by large majority, except
the clause sanciioning negro suffrage, which
is defeated by a UeTy dsciasd Uofe. The white
men in that growing State will not consent
TO link their destiny with that of the negro,

Legislation degraded by negro Influence
They are for white men ruling Colorado,

can it be possible that Pennsylvania will

The wide sea stretches beneath the sky,
In The golden light of day,
And the wide waves come iih their snowy
plumes,
That glitter. and glance. and play;
And on they come, and on they come,
With the lofty pomp of power,
To scaIier their beauty on shiny weeds,
And die on the briuy shore.
The wild waves glitter and glance and play,
To break on the briny shore,
But each is bearing its tribute on,
To add to earIh's bright store.
Some may bring us the little shell,
And some the store of gold,
And some the sailors shipwrecksd form,
All ghas,ly, and sierra, and cold.
And the wilu waves smurmufi in sadness round
Or thunder with martial roar,
As each rolls up with lis given freight,
And dies on the briny shore.
There's wide, wide sea, changing sea,
The shadowy sea OF life,
Where the lofty pillows rise and fall,
In neyer-ceasing strife.
And on, and on, and ever on,
Pressed by resis:less power.
They bear their Joy or their curse TO earth,
And die on the sandy shore.
And on they come, and on they come,
Till night sweeps DER the scene,
And the dun c'onds float Ger the gloomy sky
Aud the stars look out between
Till far away in the orient
The sun comes forth in power,
And the secret burdeds lie all revealed
Upon the briny shore.

AN AUTUMN EVENING.

In scattered plumes the floating clouds
Went drifting down the west,
Like barks that in their haven soon
Would moor and be at rest,
The day sank down monarch red
Upon nights sable breast.
The wind was all but husheG asleer,
Yet now and Their il stirred
A great trees top, and whispering
Awoke sumbering bird,
Who, half aroused, but only chirped
A song of just word.
And in the west rosy light
Spread out thousand arms,
Each with a-torch, whose crimson fire
Stretched o'er the peaceful farms,
And o'er the yellow corn, that lay
Unconcious OF all harms.
Then changed into a waste of blue
A desert tract of air,
Where no red clouds, like Indian flowers
Bore blossom bright and fair;
And over all a sense of want,
And something lost was there.

FAST YoUEe LADIEs.--In order TO be fast
young lady, i: is necessary TO lay aside all
reserve and refhement-eyeryth thing that sa
vors of womanly weakness 10 have no
troublesome scruples, but TO be ready to ac-
cord an apprecisiing smile to the broadesi
joke. There must be no feeling Of depen-
dence on the stronger sex /; but by adopt
ing, as far as decency permits, masculine
attire, masculine habits, and masculine
modes of expression, accompanied by a
haency in using it, these ladies' show them
selves TO be above all narrow minded pref
udices. There must be no thinking about
other peoples feelings; if peoples will be
thin skinned, let them keep out of their
way at all events. Should "mamman rise
her voice in feeble remonsirance, the fast
young lady impresses upon her that "she
is no Judge Of these matters. In her old
school days, everything and every one were
slow but il is quite changed now" In
short, TO sum up, TO be a fast young lady,
modesty, delicacy, refinement, respect for
superiors, consideration for the aged, must
all be SET aside; boIdness, Independence,
irrsverence; brusqeness, and, we fear, too
often hearilessness must take their place.
