wiads are blowing;
More beautiful than n their birth. as Chr1s.
tiAns are in dying,
They gently rustic down to earth while forest
boughs are signing.
As one inclined toward the merciful
hopefulness of Universalism, we have q
liking for the following lines from the
Quaker poet:

Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-10-29

Phoebe seems to have dwindled away
sadly, in population, since the good old
days when the note Of the pistol and the
swish OF the bowie-knife furnished bust
ness for the undertaken and added to the
population Of the Penitehtiary. There
are but about 400 voters registered
there, bat Sc at Panaca and 81 at Bull.
lionville. These are very surprising
figures and justify the estimate o! short
500 votes in the entire county. Some
thing Of this condition Of things is ex-
planned in the rush for the new district
and town OF Ward, in White Pine coun-
ty, where, as we understand, as many as
400 votes have been registered.

The name Of the rebel Chief Of the
United States Of Colombia is Cassbi-
anca. Thus one by one do we lose
our literary idols. The Maelstrom
has gone the way Of q romance of the
sea; William Tell is not half as real as
the man in the moon; there is no
more truth in the Story Of George
Washington and the Little Hatchet
than there is in the Story Of Gulliver's
Travels; and here turns up at last our
old schoo!-day friend, Casabianca,
under the scorching sun Of the Equa-
tor, at the head Of a rabble Of breech-
less revolutionists bowling for Re-
form, when, according to Mrs. Hem

SUNDAY READING.

The sad lesson of the week is in the
death Of Charles E. belong. As the
hacknsyed saying is. this reminds us Of
the uncertainty Of life and the certainty
Of death. When person with whom
We have close acquaintance dies. the
sensation is like that Of having COM
Yade in arms shot down beside one, in
the line OF battle. Whose turn will come
next: is . question which is put upon
the near survivor with unwelcome force.
Somebody has shrewdly observed that
young and healthful people never think
Of themselves as amenable to the rules
and rates o: mortality. 1t may be added
that there are persons Of SO much vitality
and self reliance tina: We never couple
their names with death. DeLong was
one OF these very vigorous, animated
men. He resisted every opposition so
effectively and showed SO much elias
ITCHY and vigor that it is difficult to
reconcile to ourselves the idea Of his
death. Bu. We are not beginning q
funera! sermon. We do not believe in
them any more than Mr.. Foote does.
What we purpose saying with relation
to Mr.. belong decease is that We sus-
pect that great deal will be said. in the
good old rigmarole fashion. of the lesson
taught to the young by his splendid sue
cess, won by his own extraordinary
energies and brightness Of mind. We
greatly like and heartily commend the
intent OF these preachmen:s, but they
mainly start from very false and de-
lusive premise. None but wild animals
are made in groups of apparently exact
similitude. All the wild ducks in
flock are alike; all the quail hunter
kills in day are just alike; but civil
ization and culture change these things;
and there is even a good deal Of individ-
uslism and self assertion in tribe Of
Indians; and not even all Cinnamon are
alike. And the higher We 60 in the
scale of humanity the more marked is
the individua,ism of mankind. 1t is an
excellent thing to point out the example
presented by belongs success in bat
,ling with early disadvantages. and to
call attention TO what he did by force OF
will and courage and industry. Doubt
less such examples are q stimulant to
activity and ambition and zeal. But it
is fatal fallacy to preach to the young
mind the possibility Of becoming what
we would by force Of will and energy OF
effort. We are what our capacities fit
us for. We cannot elect our capacities.
They are born in Us and are rs much
part Of US as the tendency OF animal H.
stinct is part Of the animal which do
