The world goes up and the world goes down,
Aud the sunshine follows the rain;
And yesterdays sneer and yesterdays frown
Can never come over again,
Sweet wife,
No, never come over again. . 2
For woman Is warm though man be cold,
And the night will hallow the day,
Till the heart which at even was weary and old
Can rise in the morning gay,
Sweet wife,
To its work in the morning gay. llL

Beginning the World.

Many an unwise parent labors hard and lives
sparingly all his life. for the purpose of leav-
ing enough to give his children start in the
world, as it is called. Setting young man
afioat with money left him by relatives, is like
tying bladders under the arms Of one who can
not swim; ten chances to one he will loose his
bladdors and 60 to the bottom. Teach him TO
swim and he never will need bladders. Give
your child a sound education, and you have
done enough for him. See to it that his morals
are pure, his mind cultivated, and his Whole
nature made subservient to the laws which 60
vern men, and you have given what will be OF
more value to him than the wealth of the Iu
dies. To be thrown upon ones resources is to
be cast into the very lap Of fortune, for our
faculties then undergo development, and dis
play an energy, Of which they were previously
unsusceptible.

Gorham Coming.

BY posters, and announcement in this is
sue, it will be seen that Hon. George G. Cor
ham, Secretary of the United States Senate,
Hon. Charles Westmoreland, and other dis
tinguished speakers, will address the people
Of this county, in this place, on Saturday
evening next, October 24th The two gen.
tlemen mentioned are recognized champions
of Union principles, and able and eloquent
defenders Of the acts of the party that has
thus far successfully preserved the Govern
ment from overthrow, and the country from
ruin. FROM the first organization of the
ULion party in this State, to the present
time, Mr.. Gorham bas ever been found in
the ihickest of the fight, striking vigorous
blows at the enemies of National unity
Through good and evil report be has remain
ed true and steadfast to principle; aud while
the host that keeps even step to the music of
the Union, Gorham has remained steady and
firm in the loyal column; and, although the
waves of prejudice. SANDER and ingratitude
have rolled over him, he bore the shock like
hero, and bravely pressed on in the path
way marked out by patriotism and duty.
Struck down by professed friends of the
Union party in this State last year, he rises
above all personal wrongs, covers up his
scars with the mantle of patriotism and self
sacrifice, and magnanimously says: "Let
the dead past bury its dead; l entertain no
unkind remembrances of the past'' Time
and circumstances have fully vindicated his
character. and bis former traducers are now
quick to do him honor or are dumb and ST.
lent with shame. And now, mindful only of
bis country's honor, the white plume of this
gallant knight of freedom is seen pressing
onward in the front ranks of the conflict, and
the chosen champions of Democracy are
borne to the dust by the irresistible power
of bis forensic assaults.
Let the Union people of Shasta county,
who have never yet lowered their flag in de-
feat, rally in their might on the 9th, and do
honor to these tried and faithful champions
of our cause. Union men rally in your
might for Grant and Colfax, Gorham and
Wesmoreland, and the cause all true patri-
OTIS uphold and love.
The Shasta courier., 1868-10-17
The Die is Cast.

The main issues before the people of the
United States, in the Presidential campaign
of 1868, is whether the Republican organiza-
ton and Union and Peace shall triumph. or
whether Democracy, Revolution and Civil
War shall prevail; whether the war for the
preservation of the Union and Government
was right or wrong; and whether the debt
contracted in sustaining the war shall be
honestly paid or basely repudated. These
are the principal issues to be decided on the
Sd of next month, and no sophistry can dis
guise the fact from the people.
1t has been conceded by intelligent men of
both parties that the September and October
elections in the Eastern and Western States
would turn upon these issues, and that the
result in those States would practically de-
eide the November contest. Vermont, Maine,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska
have spoken at the ballot box, and they have
decided in favor of Grant and Colfax and the
Republican party by handsome maiorities
These elections indicate that Grant and Col
fax will be elected by enormous majorities in
November, and will encourage Union men to
renewed exertiens all over the country The
result will have corresponding depressing
effect upon the followers of Seymour and
Blair, and they will have to make their fight
in the face Of certain and overwhelming de-
feat. They now see the handwriting upon
the wall, telling them that the great masses
in the States mentioned have examined their
platform, weighed their leaders in the bal
ance and found them woefully lacking in
everything calculated to gain the endorse
ment and support of intelligent, honest ard
loyal people.
Let all loyal men rejoice and thank God
that Grant is to be the next President; that
the war for the Union is to be endorsed at
the polls; that the Government, Law and
Justice are to be sustained, and Peace reign
triumphant over land dedicated to Freedom
forever.

between Henry Vert and George Bailey

bruises resulted from the collision. The
noise of the strife exceeded the din raised at
