Turning Gray.

Life's sands are running fact away,
The bouyaot step of youth has gone;
The falling hair 10 turning gray,
Aud time seems now ia. hurry on
More freely than In days of vote.
Before the heart bet anne its prey,
Before twas saddeped to the core,
Before the hair WAS turning gray.
Yes, turning grayl sge comes like snow.
As still, and carves each cafeworn line;
Its wrinkles on the brow will grow,
The hair with sllvery streaks will shine,
The eyes their brightness lose, the hand
Grow dry and tremulous and thin;
For life, alas, ls quickly spanned,
And death its gates soon closes in!
All, turning gray! we fain would hide
This sign how long with time we've been;
These decpened wrinkles side by side,
Cut by the sorrows We have seen,
For feeble beats the heart as years
More thlckly cluster on our head
As Autumn raiOdrops hang like tears
On some fair flower that's nearly dead.
Like perished petals from the flower
Our hopes and widest joys are laid,
Born only for day or hour,
Sweet gs,nbols by the fancy played.
AS age comes on we long for rest,
As saints near shrines will long to pray;
But still we love that time the best
Before the hair was turning EraTf

1t is reported that General Thomas
II. Williams, ex- Attorney General of
Nevada, who has arnassed a comforta-
BILE fortune in his connection with the
Comstock mines in years past, has
bought all the right, title and interest
of George d. Roberts in the swamp
and overfiowed lands in this and adja-
cent counties, and proposes entering
into the reclamation of the lands on
an extensive scale. Union Island is
the first to be reclaimed, for which the
services of a Government tug boat will
be brought into requiSition. As an
adjunct Of this work 4 wharf and land
ing is to be established on the river
about midway between this city and
Antioch, for the accommodation of the
working forces and the future traffic.
The beginning of this work is indica-
tive of tina ultimate grand reclama-
ton of all the swamp land in this sec
ton of cOuntry.-Stockton Independent.
Thomas is Attorney General of
California instead of Nevada. He is,
however, willing to bear the burden Of
representing the latter Commonwealth
in the United States Senate, as he is
now representing it in part at the Cen
tennial. The above mentioned invest
ment in our neighboring State, in addi
ton to his palatial residence in Oak
land, ought to insure him any position

ture of the Sagebrush State.
