SpECTACLES.

I believe in %spectacles, and think the
inventor Of them deserves the same
hearty eucomium that honest Saucho
Panza bestowed upon the man who in
vented sleep. Who Of all tho millions
tina, use s~pectacles can tell the story OF
Spins's life? o, %ungrsteful and uugen-
erous mortals You write the biogra-
piles and cherish the memories Of =" the
plotters and disturbsrs Of the world"
but know nothing OF, or care for, the
best and truest bsnefactors of the race.
Thi, Pisan monk-this Alexander de
Spina-must have been n maiutsin) q

tie with all in the Abbey, from the
abbot to the humble porter.
Although he ~devoutly said his holy
things" each morn aud eventids, he er-
identity believed that the best way TO
make himself acceptable to the Lord
was to do something to benefit his fol-
low men. Methinks | behold him pain
fully aud thoughtfully observing the
vain and futile attempts a venerable old
monk is making to see the letters of
The Book. Is there not, he wonders,
something 10 Gods wonderful world
which will help the impaired vision or
brighten the blurred and misty page?
At last, after years Of study and prayer
and experimeut-just as his W sight
is growing dim and poor-Spiua pro.
duces the first pair of spectacles evsr
seen in this world. Spina's invention
was regarded as a veritab.s godsend.

LIES AUTUMN.


Like the leaf, life is fading. We
speak and think Of it with sadness, just
as we think of the autumn season.
But there shosld be no sadness Mt the
fading Of a life that has done well its
work. If We rejoice at the advent OF
new life, if We welcome the coming OF
a new pilgrim TO the uncertainties OF
this worlds way, why should there be
so much gloom when all these uncer-
t~aiuties are passed, and life at its wan.
ing wears tue glory Of a completed
task? Beautiful rs is childhood in its
freshness and innocence, its beauty is
that OF untired life. 4, is the beauty OF
Of spring, Of the bud. A
higher and holier and rarer beauty is
the beauty which the waning life"of
Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1869-12-11

faith and duty wears. It is the beauty
of a thing completed; and as men come
together to congratulate each other
when some great work has been
achieved, can see in its concluding
nothing but gladness, so ought We to
feel when the setting sun fings back
its beams upon a life that has answered
we'll life's purpose. When the bud
droops blighted, and the mildew blasts
the early grain, and there goes all hope
of the haryest-oue may we'll be sad;
but when the ripensd year sinks amid
its gsrniturs Of autumn flowers and
leaves, why should We regret or muir
mur? And so a life that is ready and
waiting for the "weleome" OF God,
whose latest virtues and charities are its
noblest, should be given to Him.

THE WANDERERS HYMN.

There is a land where weary feet may rest,
Where fainting souls can find a peaceful
home,
Where, clothed in robes Of white, companion
OF the blest,
The wanderer, in Heaven, shall cease to
roam,
Shall cease to roam.
It lies beyond this gloomy vale Of tears,
Beyond the farewells, partings, sorrow,
pain,
Where broken hearts, bleeding for countless
years,
Shall find a balm, and joy will ever reign
Will ever reign.
Father Of all! king DER this wondrous land.
Thou who art gracious, mcrciful and kind,
Count this poor wanderer among Thy happy
band,
That he with them may rest eternal find

Mysterious Night! when our first parent

Thee, from report divine, and heard thy!

Did he not tremble for his lovely frame,
This glorious canopy Of light and blues
Yet meath 4 curtain OF translucent dew,
Bathed in the rays of the great setting

Hesperus with the host Of heaven came,
And, 10! creation widened in mans view.
Who could have thought such darkness lay
concealed
Within thy beams, o sun or who could
find,
Willis, fly, and leaf, and insect stood revealed,
That to such countless orbs thou mad'st
us blind?
Why do we then shun death with anxious
strife?

HOME, SWEET HOME.

Who has not felt the power of that
charm which binds the heart to the
home Of its early days-to the spot
blessed by o fathers smile and a
mothers love? Amidst all the hustle
and occupation Of advanced life
amids, all the disappointments and
trials, the thoughts will wander back to
those happy days when all was light,
and life, and love and fondly linger
over them rs the green spot in the desert
wilderness. Surely the sun then shons
more brightly the trees waved a richer
foliage and the waters murmursd q
softer melody I! Lilo was then one dream
of beauty-a bright vision which re-
csived its coloring from that freshness
Of feeling which made life fraught with
euchsn.ment, Gre the young heart had
learned to barbor m suspicious
thought or one generous and ardent
feeling had been chilled and withered
by the worldly wisdom and selfish pru-
dence Of n cold, heartless world.
In those hours when sleep asserts her
dominion, and fancy seems to delight in
blending, in one fantastic group, the
past and the present-who has not Wis.
tied the home of infancy, and felt his
heart beat quick rs he again trod the
avenue Of that sweet sequestered spot,
and heard the kindly welcome, and saw
that look Of tender lore, which was
| wont to reward every infant exertion in
| the requirement of knowledge? There
i, the cheerful, afectionate band Of glad
companions, who played and sung in
harmless glss who with smiles lit up
the hall, and chsered with songs the
hearth whose voices mingled in one
HYMN Of praise, and who bent the knee
around one family altar. Sweet and
cherished recollections.
Yes, in dreams We may revisit that
home, and sll-even the loved, the lost
are there. But if We should visit it
in our waking hours, might We not real
ize the story of tho Persian, who came
to the place Of his birth, and said !:
"The friends of my youth, whore are
they 2" and echo answered, Where
are they q" The heart may form new
i. may form dearer and stronger tics
chains Of affection, to be severed only
BY the hand Of death but there is one
feeling which can never be felt again
that unsuspecting confidence, that warm
enthusiasm, which lent its kindly glow
to ell il met. We may love well-wo
may rejoice in the possession Of a more
rational, more intellectual happiness-
but the first charm Of life has passed
away like a leaf on the stream that will
nevor return.

The Legislature Of Vermont has en-
acted a law which makes liquor dealers
responsible for any damage accruiug to
either persons or property through the
conduct of those to whom they sell
liquor. As the defense Of q large num-
Der Of criminals, when placed in the
dock, is drunkenness, and as they are
ofsensst pscunisrily Irresponsible par
ties, we think the Vermont law would
prove eheacious here. Its execution
would have a decided tendency to make
liquor dealers cautious rs to whom
they made drunk, if they knew they
would be held responsible for the mis-
deeds Of their customers. Not ouly
that, butt il for every murder committed
under the influence of bad rum the
seller of the stuff should be hanged
instead of the direct murderer, the
number Of. liquor sellers would soon
decrease.

GOLDEN GRAINS.

o there's always light in the darkest night,
For hearts that are brave and true,
While the star Of love beams bright above,
Gliding life with its W rich hue.
Handsome apples are sometimes sour.
In prosperity, caution in adversely,
patience.
He who blackens others does not
whiten himself.
Keep good company, aud always be
one Of the number.
Time, patience aud industry, are the
three grand masters of the world.
He is the best accountant who can cast
up the sum Of his wi errors.
Not one in a thousand is really up to
what he, she or it would like to be
gagged at.
Self.will is so ardent and active, that
it will break a world to pieces TO make
a stool to sit On.
1t never was wise thing to make men
desperate, for one who has no hope Of
good has no fear Of evil.
w cannot keep the crows from flying
over our heads, but wc can keep them
from building their nests in our hair.
Beautiful was the reply of q veneer
able man to the question, whether he

couraged by oil lawful means. People
never plot mischief when they are merry.
Laughter is an enemy to malice, q foe to

Anybody can soil the reputation Of an
individual, however pure and chaste,

emies will believe and his friends never
hear Of. A puff Of idle wind II take

and do q work Of mischief which the
