The Golden Side.

There is many n rest in the road Of life,
II We would only stop TO take it;
And many tone from the bitter land,
Ii the querulous heart would make it'll
To the soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright
Though the winter storm prevaileth.
Better to hope, though the clouds hang low,
Aud TO keep thu eyes stall lihed;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep thro'
When the omiaous clouds are riff ed
There never was nigh wi. hout day,
Or al evening without morning;
Aud the darkest hours, the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many n gem in 10 path Of life,
Which We pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jewel crown,
Or the miser's hoard of treasure;
1t may be the love OF a little child,
Or mothers prayer TO heaven,
Or only beggar's graceful thanks
For cup OF water given.
Better to weave in the web Of life
A bright and god,n filing.
And to do Gods will with ready heart,
And hands that are ready and willing;
Than to snap the delicate, minute threads
OF our curious lives asunder,
And dtheu blame heaven with The tangled ends
And sit aud grieve aud wonder.

The CUBAN REvoLT.-An cx-colonel
of the Federal army arrived here yester-
day in the British schooner Lion, having
left Nassau on the 18th instant. He re-
ports considerable activity among the Gu
bans at Nassau in the shipment OF artillery
and war meteral. Fifteen Armstrong
guns had been sent TO the insurgents, be-
sides large quantities Of grape and canis-
ter. The Id bockadc-running steamer,
Gem, now known as the Sunsalvador, OF
Nassau, and commanded by Captain Car
lin, was running between Nassau and Gu.
ba, IN the interest Of the insurgents. Blu,
faint hopes were entertained Of the success
OF the rebels, who were reduced already TO
a system Of bushwhacking warfare, and
whose only hope lay in the speedy OPEN
ing of the rainy season.

Record of a Strong Company

The National Life Insurance Company
which received its charter from the national
Congress in July last, has already made its
record in unmistakable characters. With its
Sgencies as yet only in process of organiza-
ton, it has, as we learn, issued insurance to
an amount exceeding seven million dollars.
This we think is very marked success-it
is SO much needfui work well DONE
The Company does strictly cash bust
ness as being in is Judgment the simplest
and best for both the insurer and the insur-
ed, and it never complicates its affairs with
either notes, loans, or dividends, and thus
leaves no door open to misapprehepsion or
disappointment in the future. While the
principle of" SO much insurance for so much
money" is rigidly adhered TO- and every
policy has thus fixed and determined value,
all accumulations that might otherwise be
declared as dividends at some future time,
are discounted IN ADVANCE aud the exact ex-
act pro rata is counted IN with the amount of
each policy when it is issued.
Managed by men of the highest financial
ability and undoubted integrity. protected
by large paid-up cash capital, and posses.
sing all the elements that have given success
to other similar enterprises, we should ex-
pect this would become one Of the most sue
cessful institutions of the kind.

men fof the road left New York, on
Tuesday last. Let Fremont see to it
that she does not lose it. Now is her
opportunity. If she would win let not
amoment be lost but press the matter
to favorable issue. The prospect is
that Cleveland will now take hold of
the Medina Wooster and GAINESVILLE
project, in earnest in hopes of saving
its business by crossing the proposed
road and all the roads running parallel
with it. as well as opening up a new
country to the South of it.

move to reconsider snd lay on the table,
which he did, aud which motion was agreed
to. Gen. Buffers proposed amendment re-
quiring the President to send his nominations
to Congress within 80 days after being made,
also goes to support this opinion; at least it

absolute repeal by this vote. Much excite
