Speak kindly, gently to thy wife,
She knows enough Of sorrow;
Oh seek not from each petty III
An angry word to borrow.
For in her heart there's treasure love,
Oh prize is golden worth
One gentle ~oTd, one smile Of thine,
Can ever call Il forth.
When thou an harsh, and sterG and cold,
And from thine own dear home,
The sunshine Of domestic love
In sorrow seeks to roam
tiPonhor heart thy cold words fall
And chill loves tender life;
Then, Oh amidst Thy trials all,
Speak kindly to thy wifo.
Speak softly, kindly 10 thy wife;
She may have left home
OF cherished love, and 70 thine own

Though Eve or ten have told The time,
Aud thou have shared is strife,
Whens'er ,hy footsteps homeward turn,
Speak gently 70 Try wife.

Failure Of Meadows.

There seems 10 be a general cry COM
ing up from the grazicrs that our old
meadows are failing in yield. Old men
point out folds TO the young, that used
TO yield two and three tons, but now
only rs many hundred pounds, per acre.
And anowly-secded meadow soon runs
down 70 tho old crop Of a few hundred
pouods.
The cause Of this failure lies mainly
at the doors Of the graziors. Clover at
best lasts but a few years. aud timothy
must be th6 main dependence for a per-
maDedt sod. How many dairymcn are
exceptions to the rule, bad as it is, of
turning stock on meadows fall aud
spring. In other words, putting the
meadows 10 the double duty of yielding
hay aud pasture. This continual crop
ing Of the aftermath takes from the
ground what should mulch the grass
roots and protect them from frost in
wintor. But this is not the worst fea-
ture- Timothy reproduces itself in two
ways from the seed and root. When
the former Is cut short by the scythe,
the strength aud vigor Of Che PARENT
roots turns to throwing out side tubers,
each with rs top (which is the after
math), drawing food from air as well
az soil Irthesc are fed down the bulbs

70 die before spring. What live
through, arc too weak 10 send up yic~

murderous practice OF feeding down in
spring Is continucd-the yield Of hay

The representatives OF the Union
marty of Nevada will meet to-day for
the purpose of making selection OF SIX
delegates to cast the vote of this State
a, the great Republican National Con-
x-ntioa ct Chicago. A unanimous
voice in favor of the nomination to the
Presidency of General Grant removes
az, nossible chance for division IN the
party upon that score and SO lar as
-he selection of the six delegates is con-
.s,rsd the main thing to be determined
is: How best to satisfy the interests
a,d wishes of the party in all sections
Of the State. Ormsby county will ask
.sat Abraham Curry be one OF the
delegates, and are prepared, if need be-
to offer the very best OF reasons TOT
having preference for him. In the
first place, he is thoroughly Identified
with the Union party. Secondly, he is
one of the foremost among the enter
arising pioneers Of the State-his name
being almost as closely connected with
the early history of our great mines as
aha. of Constock himself. Thirdly,
the local consideration comes in ! and
that is: lie is the Superintendent OF
Construction Of the Nevada Branch
Mint. In that capacity he is now at
Washington endeavoring to secure the
requisite machinery for the Mint. and
intellectually, procure at the hands OF
Congress a further Appropriation OF
moneys to enable him to proceed with
IKE work. Its thought here (and with
much reason that by adding to his
official position whatever political con
sequence attaches to the character OF
delegate to the National Convention, he
will be the better enabled to push the
purpose OF his present errand to sue
cessfn, conclusion. 1t is to be hoped
that a choice, backed b. go good
reasons, will be freely acceded to BY the
Convention.
Of course the Convention viii pass
resolution instructing the delegates to
vote for Grant. We hope they may also
be instructed with regard 10 the Vice
Presidency. If we can get Nye or any
other Pacific Coast man, let us do so !;
Int if no man identified with this
Coast is to be selected, the political
consequence of New York points to the
wisdom of nominating Governor tenton
of that State. We hope that this mat
ter may be duly considered.
Aswe have said before, we trust that
the Convention will take no other steps
than such as will leave the party here
Gee to stand upon upon whatever plat
form may be adopted at Chicago. 1t is
not the province of the party in this nor
any OTHER State to anticipate the action
of the Chicago Convention. We are a
firm believer in the supremacy OF the
National over the State organization
unite AZ much with reference to the
party as to the Republic itself. Let us
uIedge ourselves to keep pace with the
marty. come what will, and let it 60 at
that. Expedition, harmony and one
ness of purpose in the Convention to-day
will assure out brother Unlonists OF Cal
jfornia that we as well as they are oe-
t.rmined to stand shoulder to shoulder

principles of Republicauism, ready TO
