THE RAINY DAY.

By HENRY VI. LoEaFRLLow.
The day is cold and Dark and dreary;
IL rains. and the wind Is never weary;
The vine still csings to the mouldering WALL
But the hopes Of youth fall thick in the blast
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold and dark and dreary;
II rains, and the winds are never HearJ;
My thoughts still cling to the m0uldering past,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall.
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart. aud cease Fepining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all;
Into each lie some rain must fall;
Some days must be dark and dreary.

tawny Moneolians come troOping with ak and
spade, tearing ND native virgin soil with raven
GUS fingers; next week, the locomotive thunders
its warning TO Indian, and buffalo, and ante
lone: and IN n wear we have cities, and news
papers. and shoals of men and women who
propose TO till the earth and worship God, ana
sanctify these wastes with sweet ana happy
homes. Is there any nobler work in this busy,
working country3 No, gentlemen; you are not
clamorous, nor exactng. Forty millions! YES
four hundred millions if we had them TO
spare, and four hundred millions more.
Our old friends of the Kansas Pacific have been
literally helped, and they seem to be jubllant
and earnest 1t seems as if it were only yes
terday that they asked us to aid them IN
building from Sheridan, Kansas, to Denver
City. And now they telegraph us, all the way
from Cheyenne, that already they nave
built fifty-four miles from Cheyenne, south
ward toward Denver. Being active men, and
not content with small things, they are build
ing in two directions, and expect to have sixty
miles, from Sheridan toward Denver, before
many weeks are past. They have set their en-
terprse on fire at both ends, and we shall not
be surprised if they set fire to it in the middle.
Mr.. Dabney, Mr.. Jesup, and Mr.. Morgan, Will
apply all the money we give to that imperial
purpose; and if anybody offers better security
for good Yankee cOin-with their six millions
of acres, their iron. and coal, and gold-we have
not seen it.. From the far Pacific, Messrs. FISK
g. Hatch come with the pledge that, If we
give them two or three millions they will weld
the last link between San Francisco and New
York. Their offering is good and promising
their security the best and so down the list
Mr.. Converse and Mr.. Tanner have a capital
road running from St. Joseph to Fort Kearney,
and reaching to Denver. They only want
million and half, and, if they asked five, they
should not be grudged, for they have good
lands, and sure business, and offer first-class
security Mr.. Shattuck has splendid enter
prise in Iowa, which cannot be too literally
aided; while Mr.. Tanner promises to add an
other railway to Illinois, if we help him.. We
trust he will have all the help he wants.
Let our readers remember this: A good
railcay bond is the best security now open to in
restors. Let every man who has something
ahead contribute to this forty millions. The
country will be richer and greater We shall
feel the good results in our days, and add to
the heritage we hope to leave to our children

Since the hens laid eggs upon which was
mystically etched the year of tho approx
mating millennium, there has been no miracle"
so astounding as the one which has just oc-
Cured in Kentucky. The coffin of a negro
child was deposited by the side of the grave,
but so heavy did it suddenly become, that into
the grave nobody could lift it. 1t was opened,
and the child not only found to be alive, but
upon the bottom of one of its feet was OBJ
served tho astounding inscription There
"has been no preacher in Heaven for eleven
hundred years (which will be discouragng
to extant preachers who fondly suppose that
they are pointing to brighter worlds and lead
ing the way. The comfortable resource for
them is not to believe one word Of the story.

Emperor adds, what mankind at large may feel
comfort in hoping or believing, that the Bishops
are meeting at Rome for wise and cOnciatOry
PURPOSES. He recognizes, Moreover, the great
value to the world of the Pacific Railroad, the
Mount Cents Tunnel and the Suez Canal. From
this passage of his speech have but point to
single out for comment. In declaring that the
New World has abolished Slavery, the Emperor
apparently has forgotten that Spain mas not
But we take to ourselves all the compliment
which His Majesty means to pay to the kepuD-
lican progress which has survived the inter-
ventiOn in Mexico, and which has sent out our
peaceful Mr.. Seward to visit the places sacred
to the misfortunes of Macmillan. Spain may
take warning,b by His Majesty's flattery, and
render homage to Emancipation and the steam
engine by letting Cuba go.
The rest of the EmperOr's speech is of signal
value and meaning. 1t is in fact grant OF
many of the demands made by France, and
realization in good part of the programme OF
Prince Napoleon's speech. Municipal elections,
communal councils. new prerogatives to the
Councils General, and wider suffrage, are to be
allowed. Primary education will be developed,
Justice will be made cheaper, the war tax will
not be so burdensome, the savings bank sys-
tenn will be extended, and other smaller meas
ures are promised But the Opposition has
properly complained that the Emperor has not
approached the root of all evil i'll political
France. He has not promised, so far as we
can see, the reform of the circumscriptlons he
has not made his satraps amenable to the civil
courts; he has not made his prefectures less
odous. We might speak of further evils;
but France will, we doubt not, be disposed to
accept half loaf as better than no bread,
pending further change in the health of the
Emperor and the temper of the Empire.

The construction of Southern line of Rail-
roads from the Atlantic to the Pacific is much
nearer its consummatiOn than is generally sup
posed. We are assured that six distinct COM
panies, created by separate State charters, are
now at work, or are about to set to work, on
such line from Norfolk, Virginia, to San Diego,
California, with intent to make q short job OF
the construction. They claim that their route
is nine hundred miles shorter than that from
New-York to San Francisco by the Central
route-that its SUBMITS are far lower and its
grades easier than those of the Central, and
that even transient obstruction by snow is
scarcely possible on the Southern or Arizona
route. We hope their enterprise may be gen.
erOusly aided by grants of lands, and that they
will not ask Congress for any subsidy. The
United States have neither money nor credit
that they can spare from the one pressing OBJ
iect of reducing the principal and interest of
their great National Debt.
The Norfolk and Great Western Railroad
is the most eastern link in this chain, and will
run through the southern counties of Virginia
in nearly straight line to Bristol, Tenn.-43O
miles. The most western link (from San Diego
to the Colorado is already begun, or soon will
be. We shall have more to say of this enter
prise hereafter.

Every human being likes to receive remit
tances of money by mail. 1t follows that every
postmaster who steals money from letters
while they are in his official custody may be
considered as the deep and deadly enemy of
the human race and his name should be largely
and UNANIMOUSLY advertised as one who has
made many hearts sick through hope deferred.
We therefore announce with sort of grim
satisfaction that Cyrus MCGOWAN, p. NJ, at
Knoxville, H., has been caught purloining the
choice contents of letters, the case against him
being clear one 1t is possible that this Mr.. Nc
Gowan may have some of our money. In such
case, he will have a double weight upon his
conscience; he has not only stolen our cash,
but he has, perhaps, deprived fellow creature
of his WEEKLY TRIBUNE.

We think it great mistake for the Directors
of the Illinois State Insane Asylum to deter
mine upon tho exclusion of all visitors from
that institution. While it is very doubtful
whether the sight of strange faces and the
conversation of relatives and friends exercise
any bad influence over the insane, the practi-
cal conversion of asylums into prisons, of
which the public from direct observation is to
know nothing, will only increase the prejudice
against mad houses and keep out of them q
great many patients whose liberty may be
dangerous and who might be restored to
reason if properly treated. At the present
juncture, while exercising Il reasonable degree
of prudence in the admission of visitors, the
managers of these asylums cannot afford to
shut them out altogether.

Tile COLD ROOM.

The Gold Exchange has again got itself in
working order, after an almost total suspension
of business for two months, or since the great
crash of September The Gold Exchange Bank,
through which the daily settlements OF the
Gold Room operators are made, resumed opera
tions at the beginning of last week. Some of
the largest and most responsible houses in
Wal-st. refused to have any dealings with
the bank at the time it recommended It's clear
ng-house business; but notwithstanding this
circumstance, its transactions and. clearlngs
have daily increased in magnitude. Not much
was done through it on Tuesday or Wednes-
dav ; but on Thursday the clearances reached
twelve millions, and on Friday twenty millions;
and though they were diminished on Saturday
they again swelled up yesterday. These sums
of course are trfling enough compared with
the figures that indicated the stupendous trans
actions ut the time of the September crash
the dealings on that memorable Friday Sept
24) amounting to nearly six hundred millions
of dollars. But still they show the resumption
of active speculation in gold.
The signs of the renewal of activity in the
Gold Room itself (of which these figures are
prooO are very noticeable. For two months
the dingy room, which has been the locality OF
so many scenes of excitement and ruin, has been
deserted. The crowds of frenzied men who
formerly shouted round the " fountain" which
for sixty DAYS has been desolate and deserted,
are beginning to return. Every day for the
last few DAYS their numbers have increased /;
and with every days growth of the speculative
crowd there has appeared the growth of ex-
element, which has been stimulated to high
point by the rapid and large fluctuations OF
the gold premium within the week.
At the beginning of last week gold was
quoted between 12G and 1877, at which price it
stood on Monday and Tuesday. But on
Wednesday q downward movement began, and
it was quoted in the vicinity of 1876; on Thurs
day and Friday it went down another point !;
on Saturday it was still lower and weaker; and
on yesterday it touched 1912, the lowest quo
tations that have been made since the upward
movement seven years ago.
This recent remarkable fall in the premium
on gold-which is practically an Improvement
in the national CREDITS of course owing to
the increased financial strength displayed by
the Government, the improving exhibits that
have lately been made by the Treasury, and
the growing value and popularity of our bonds
in Europe. The people Of the country, and
especially its moneyed men, are beginning to
realize the Importance of the new policy by
which the revenues are collected, retrenchment
is effected, and the volume of the debt is re-
duced. A steady continuance of this policy,
with the maintenance of peace in our foreign
relations, will be tho means of carrying us for
ward in our present course of improvement,
and bringing the business of the country back
to its legitimate basis.

JUNIORS OF OUR ELECTION.

We trust that many of our readers were in
duced to scrutinize the official returns given in
our last of the vote cast in our City four
weeks ago, parallel with the number registered
in each district for that election. Whoever is
familiar with elections and returns must
have found those returns exceedingly sug-
gestive.
Just recur, for one moment, to the return
from the With Ward, which we have unanswer-
ably proved, by it's annual bills of mortality,
to have less population now than it had thir-
teen years ago, when its total poll was under
1000. Now, it is made to "give down" as fol-

Boston has met with misfortune. The
Journal of that city informs us that lone OF
the largest tax payers Of the city has Jan
"nounced his intention of taking up his resi-
"dence at his country seat hereafter. He car
cries away two millions of taxable personal
"property.n The Largest Taxpayer will
probably find that the Assessors in the rural
districts have sharp eyes and long noses, and
know a gentleman with large personal prop
ertv when they see him. OF course, however,
tbe taxes of the L. T. p. will be considerably
diminished and he will, therefore. be better
able to make exceedingly handsome that be-
quest to Harvard University which we know
he must already have upon his mind.

The many friends Iof Mr.. A. d. Richardson
will be glad to learn that the crisis in his case
seems to be nearly passed. His physicians
thought at two o'clock, this morning, that if he
continued equally well through the remainder
of the night and this forenoon, the most seri-
GUS danger would be over. Extracts, letters
and dispatches, elsewhere printed, serve to
give some idea of the universal sympathy ex-
pressed for him in all parts of the country,
and of the universal condemnation of the
wOuld-be assassin.

We are extremely glad that the Board OF
Controllers in Philadelphia have determined to
raise the salaries of school teachers; but one
of the reasons assigned in the report of the
committeeman teachers are required to spend
"six hours per day in an injurious atmosphere"
strikes us as rather melancholy. Is the in
crease of salary intended beneyolently to
render it easier for the teacher to discharge
doctors q bills That would be only
just; but it would follow, as logical neces-
sity, that the public should also defray all the
medical expenses of pupils poisoned or thrown
into an asphyxy, or committed to the tender
mercies of typhoid, by a confinement of "six
"hours per day in an injurious atmosphere"
AS the Philadelphia Controllers are in liberal
mood, why not make moderate appropriation
for ventilatOrsf

Here would seem to have been 81 more

never is and never can be polled at

Senator Mike Norton to beat that-and every
one knows that they are no slouches at the
business.
When the polls closed, we are well assured
that no votes had been cast on two hundred
of the names registered in the With District;
but that did MT signify: every name registered
was duly credited with a vote in the official
return, which stood-Sigel, IS; Nelson, 01O!
SO we might go through the Wards. and
show the villainy most bare-faced and scan
dalous, by means of which Homer A. Nelson
will be declared reelected Secretary of State
by some 10000 majority, when he is beaten
some thousands by Gen. Sigel except for the
gigantic frauds deliberately planned, perpe-
trated, and paid for, by the masters Of Tam
many Hall. There must come q reckoning
for this stupendous crime.
