BEAUTIFUL EXTRAcT.-The following
waif, aflont on the sea Of reading, we
clip from an exchange. We do not
know its paternity, but it contains some
wholesome truths, beautifully set forth ::
Men seldom think of the great event
of death until the shadow falls ACROSS
their own path, hiding forever from
their eyes the traces of the loved ones
| whose living smiles wero the sunlight
| of their existence. Death is the great
antagonist of life, and the cold thought
Of the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts.
We do not want to 60 through tho dark
valley, although its passage may lead
to Paradise {; and with Charles Lamb,
we do not want to lie down in the mud
dy grave, ever with kings and princes
for our bedfellows. But the fat of ma
ture is memorable. There is no appeal
Of relief from the great law which dooms
US to dust. We flourish and we fade ms
the leaves of the forest, and the flower
that blooms and withers in a day hns
not a Trailer hold upon life than the
mightiest monarch that ever shook tho
earth with his footsteps. Generations
Of men appear and vanish rs the grass,
and the countless multitude that throngs
tho world to-day, will tomorrow disap-
pear ms the footsteps on the shore.
In the beautiful drama OF "%Ion," tho
instinct of Immortality, so eloquently
uttered by the death of the devoted
Greek, finds a deep response in every
thoughtful soul. When about to yield
his young existence ms n sacrifice to
fate, to his beloved Chmanthc he re-
plies: 81 have asked that dreadful
question Of the hills that look eternal
OF the clear streams that flow forever
of the stars among whose field of azure
my raised spirit hath walked in glory.
All were dumb. But while | gaze upon
thy living face, l feel that there is some
thing in the love that mantles through
its beauty that cannot wholly perish.
We shall meet again, C%lemantho."

THE Carson correspondent ("S.') of
the Sacramento Union, dated February
goth, thus alludes to the position of af-
fairs on the Legislative Fund Bill:
In the legal set-to between the two branches
OF the Government the Governor experienced
a view Of the small end Of the horn. The
Supreme Court has sustained the position OF
the Legislature that the latter has q right TO
"raisc the wind for its W expenses in 4
summary manner, and make choice Of the
method. The Controller has had n busy
week in taking up the scrip of members and
attaches and issuing Understanding war
rants therefor, which are readily taken at par
by various ENTHUSIASTICALLY by William
Sharon, Of the Bank Of California. The men,
bcrs' wrath is greatly appeascd in their vic.
tory and possession Of the double eagles, and
the Governor passes his time in examining
and approving bills in a very obedicnt man
ncr, and enjoys the consolation OF religion,
cigars and the consciousness OF having done
his duty as he understood il. How his ran-
pant and narrow-mindcd advisers and APP
plauders feel is n matter Of much indifference.
Seriously, the Governor seems to have a set
Of selfish advisers, who, to bask in his smiles,
prefer to humor and nurture his opinions,
than 10 even hint to him the possibility OF
error. The Legislative Fund Bill was quite
thoroughly examined by the ableSt lawyers OF
Nevada before its passage, and the Bank OF
California, by its agent, Mr.. Sharon, had
Signiied n willingness 10 advance all the
money required on warrants ssued under
such a law. These facts were well known
and should have at least elected n wider
range Of examination by the Governor before
80 bluntly disappearing the measure.

HOMELESS AND DYING,

BY ALI. DoTES.
Wandering wcarily
From door to door;
Still onward drearily,
Homeward no moro.
Dying OF want, Of hunger and cold,
Here In this land of silver and gold;
Homeless,
Yet not frlcndless;
Deserted by all but her God.
In tho cold, icy street,
Sank she at last,
Deaths chilly winding sheet
Around her now cast.
Men gather quickly, with wondering stare,
Yet she's but an outcast, why should they care!
Oh! pity,
In all this city,
No friend 30 true as her God.
No longer homeless
Driven to roam,
No longer ~fricndlcss,
Dying alone;
Poor, weary soul ut last did she stray
To the door off friend who'll not turn her away,
No, never.
She finds now forever
home and q friend in her God.
OIL Christianity,
What opportunity
To blush for humanity
In this community.
To benefit heathcns afar or VIC roam,
Neglecting. true charity nearer at home.
Surely, never
Is such cndcayor
Justified in the sight of our God.

WHITE PINE.

We make the following extract from a
letter written by a man who left Gold
Hill several weeks ago for the "Poor
Mans Paradise" and who is pretty
good authority for anything he writes,
so far as he can observe things:
TREASURE CIrY, Feb. 10, 1869.
FRIEND LYNCH: There are q great
many people here and more coming. Ny
private opinion is that White Pine is
not all it is represented to be, but every
body SAYS it is a big thing, and OF
course il must be, if everybody says 1t
ia. | have not seen any of the big mines
vet but ns for Chloride Flat, OF which
Won have heard much, it costs all the
ore is worth to get it out, and as for
wild cats, there are species Of the ami
NAL here, compared to which the wild
Get cats of the Comstock and Reese
River might be termed as domestic ami
mails. The Legislature is greatly 10
blame for delaying our county organiza-
ton; and rs matters now stand there is
no protection to life or property. do
not mean that the "roughs" rule, for rs
a general thing the town is quiet but
if a person takes a fancy to your claim
or town lots, he takes them, and many
yield rather than be compelled to go to
Austin, l25 miles, to attend Court.
The chief business appears to be specu.
lating in real estate, which has reached
m enormous figure, especially town
lots, though there is still o chance for
speculation, but not for men OF small
means, rs they range from $4,000 to
$4,000. Those who came here last
fall and located all the good mines and
town lots, have done well but, unless
other discoveries are made, many n poor
devil will be greatly disappointed.
Business will be good here this summer,
can't help but be, for every one has
White Pine on the brain, and nothing
but a dose Of it will satisfy them. The
weather is not so rough as | expected to
find, though it is rough enough, and tho
town Of Treasure is situated on the west
side of an immense mountain. Forbes
appears to be doing the best liquor
business in town, and though all ap-
pear TO have money enough, notice
that tho gambling tables are not very
we'll pa~trouized. As John Church said
in his letter, this is the "Poor Mans
Paradise" but, with the common neces-
sarics of life at 81 per day, q poor man
has got to rustic to get grub. There
are some good mines here, yielding
largely, but no one nan in q hundred
who comes here to try the mines will
make enough to get him back to the
place he started from, and | certainly
would not advise any of my friends to
come here for that purpose, though
business men, rs well as capitalists,
will do well here for q time. The first
day I came here, | was told of n friend
of miuc who had o claim on Chloride
Flat for which he refused $4,000, rs
he was taking out $1,000 per day.
hunted it up, and found o hole four feet
deep for which he asked $4,000, but
no work was doing. This is only one
of the many "big things" we hear OF
White Pine. The snow is deep, and
there will be no chance to do much
prospecting for q month or six weeks
yet.
