Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1872-08-24

A LIFELONG Democrat who had
swallowed his principles and decided
10 vote for Greeley, undertook TO CON-
vert a Republican negro to his new
political faith. He recounted to him
the virtues Of modern Democracy. and
told him what good friends Of the col
ored race the Democratic party had
been. His eloquent presentation OF
the case seemed to make the desired
impression. He added. "You know
the Democrats have always helped you
up" Obed replied, "Yas, dc Demo-
Gratis helped US up OH de lamp-posts In
New York In 1852" The ''unwashed'
laid his right index heavily OH his ma
sal organ and departed.

OK lately moving to another grave
the reuiainsor Mrs. Anna Reese. who
lied In 1862. and was onried IN the
cemetery at South Bend. Indiana. the
unusual weight caused such surprise
that the coffin lid was removed. when
IL was found that the body presented
exactly the appearance 1t wore when
consigned to the grave ten years ago.
The features aud hands were not
shrunEen. nor were there any signs OF
decay. Neither were there any signs
Of qualification. DR.. Ham examined
the body and found that the flesh had
changed to atlipoeere, or fatty wax, a
phenomenon regarded rs more Won
derful than petritication.

WHAT MAKES A MAN.

Not numerous years nor heightened life,
Not pretty children and wife,
Not pins and chsins and fancy Iings.
Nor any such like trumpery things;
Nor pipe. cigar. nor bottled wine,
Nor liberty with kings To dine.
Nor coat, nor boots. nor yet hat,
A dandy vest or trimmed cravai.
Nor all the worlds wealth laid In store;
Nor Mister, Reverend, Sir, nor Squire,
With titles that the memory tire;
Nor Ancestry traced back to Will.
Who went from Normandy to XIII;
Nor Latin. Greek. nor Hebrew lore,
Nor thousand volumes raubled Ger;
Nor Judre's robes nor Maser'a mace,
NorerownS that deck the royal rseo-'
These all united mover can
Avail TO make single man.
A truthful soul, a loving mind,
Full OF affection for its kind;
A helper OF the human race,
A soul OF beauty and OF grace;
= A spirit form erect and tree,
That never hasely bends the knee:
That win not bear feathers weight
of slayrry's chain. for. small or great,
THAT truly ppcaka of4od within.
And never makes n League with sin:
That snaps the f.tters dcspots make,
And loyes tho truth for It's own FAKE;
That worships God and him alone:
That trembles az no tyrants nod =
A soul that iears no one bot God.
And thus can smile at curse and bali
That 10 the soul that makes the man.

The following explanation has been
given of how it IS that aged persons
Are said TO have cut new teeth late In
life. IL often happens that teeth break
or decay, and leave stump In the
gum. The gum closes over the place
and the incident is forgotten. AS
years 60 BY, the jaw and the gums
shrink; the long buried stump is In
consequence laid bare, and Is hailed
rs a new tooth.

future government:

The Radical leaders think, says the Alezan-
dria Gazette, they are using powerful argu-
ment against the Conservatives, when they
quote the writings and speeches of Mr.. Greeley,
before, during, and sometimes, since the late
war. Have they seen or heard ofany Conserva-
tive who advocates noU, the sentiments he then
condemned? The Conservatives and Democrats
do not enter into defence of ideas formerly
EXPRESSED, and which met with their disappro-
baton. But they will support Mr.. Greeley be-
cause he is opposed now to the course and policy
of the present administration, and stands upon
and will carry out, as far as he can, the excel
lent political principles of the Cincinnati Con-
vention, and endeayor to effect Reform in the
Government. These surely are sufficient rea-
sons to justify their course, and to excite their
energy. They are looking to the future good
and to the best interests of their country for the
time that Is to come. 1t is an honest and pa
triotic effort in behalf of peace, harmony and
prosperity which impels them to unite ID bring
ing about the election of Mr.. Greeley.

Poetry.
THE LOVE LETTER.

She took it in her trembling hands
That poorly served her will;
The wave of life on golden sands,
Stood for a moment still.
She read the superscription o'er
And broke the careful seal
The precious burden that it bore
She did not read, but feel.
o, earth, so green with summer now.
o, sky of heavenly blue
o, mated birds on every.boughl
Her thoughts are not for you.
The hum of frien dly tones below,
The life of pleasant care,
That swayed her soul an hour ago
Now rule no longer there.
She knows a love too pure and high
For simple words to speak;
Its glory glIstens in her eve.
And bushes on her cheek.
Its brighter warmth about her lies,
1t fills each human need,
Enfolds her life and glorifes
The simplest word or deed.
He has no promise to allure,
N fairy tale to tell
The skill of honest love is sure
70 work its purpose well.
1t scorns the fatterer's subtle art,
The wordling's acted lies;
But storms the fortress of the heart,
And bears away the prize.
Yet brave as spurred and belted knight.
More tender still than brave,
He lifts his victim into light
Himself the willing slave
o, Love, thy kingdom stands secure,
Born with Creations day:
Thy sweet dominion shall endure
When earth has passed away.

Daily national Republican. (Washington City [D.C.]) 1870-1872, 1872-01-12
rnE NEXT NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The National Executive COMMITTEES Of the
Union Republican party, at their meeting
yesterday In this city, selected Philadelphia
as the place, and the fifth day OF next June as
the time, to hold the next convention Of the
Republican party. In another column We
give an extended report Of the proceedings Of
the committee yesterday. together with the
call which II was agreed upon to officially
publish as soon as the signatures Of all the
members Of the committee shall have been
attached 10 It,
The "sall" Is a brief epltomo OF the work
Of the Republican party during the last four
yeArs-the heading Of the splendid chapters
Of Ia history, which has become the history
Of the republic and Of the world. The people
Aro reminded that the pledges given to them
In 1883 have all beon kept, when the Repub-
llcan party selected as lts standard-bearer In
pOace the victorious general who had led II TO
the close Of successful war. AL the States have
been restored to their full relationship 10 the
Union; the laws have been faithfully enforced;
peace preserved credit established; the pub
lie debt reduced; the rights OF our citizens
have been respected and maintained. The
Netffhub VINO Dhttlcu lOT Tue COuulIl nave
been rewarded and cared fOr; labor has been
encouraged and protected; foreign difficult
ties, that threatened the peace Of the nation,
have been honorably and amlcably adjusted,
and great measures Of reform successfully
inaugurated.
The Republican party may Indeed point
with pride to Is record. During the twelve
years Of lie power Il has emancIpated race
from the shackles of slavery, saved the Re.
public from disruption, and given II Hn un.
equaled prosperity. The year5 Of its useful.
ness, so far from being ended, have only he,
guu II 1t shall ouly act the part Of wisdom,
and frown down factions aud factlOnists
within its own ranks. The country Is not yet
ready to turn the management Of its Affairs
over TO the men who only short tlmo ago
sympathized wite treason and rebellion, and
but yesterday were allied with fraud and cor
ruptlon OF appalling magnitude. The future
OF the Republican party Is more bright to-
day than IL was In 1873. II all our leaders are
only true. The people should see to Il that
no falthless brigadlers hold command In their
grand army.
