The Sitting of Peter.
A FOLK-SONG
BY Il. W. LoNGFELLow.

Behold, Satan hath desired to hare you that he
may sitt you as sUheGt.' Luke xxii 81.
In ST. Luke's Gospel we are told
How Peter in the days of old
Was sifted;
And now, though ages intervene,
Sin is the same, while time and scene
Are shifted.
Satan desires us, great and small,
As wheat, to sift us, and We all
Are tempted
Not one, however rich or great.
Is by his station or estate
Exempted.
No house so safely guarded is
But he, by some device of his,
Can enter;
No heart hath armOr SO complete
But he can pierce with arrows fleet
Its center.
For all at last the cock will crow
Who hear the warning voice, but go
Unheeding,
Till thrice and more they have denied
The Man of sorrOws, crucitied
And bleeding.
One look of that pale suffering face
Will make us feel the deep disgrace
Of weakness;
We shall be sifted till the strength
OF self-conceit be changed at length
To meekness.
Wounds of the soul, though healed, will ache
The reddening scars remain, and make
Confession;
Lost innocence returns no more;
We are not what we were before
Transgresson.
But noble souls, through dust and heat,
Rise from disaster and defeat
The stronger,
And conscious still of the divine
Within them lie ON earth supine
No longer.
-Harper'S Magazine for March.

The Diyision in Illinois.

WASHINGTON. May H. The split In
the Cook County (%Illinois) Convention
yesterday has excited q very lively inter.
est among Washington politicians. OF
course the deductions drawn from 1t BY
tho Grant and nti.Grant men as to Its
consequences In the State Convention
are diamstrically different. Some I'M
doubted friends Of Senator Blaine fear
tha. the wal upon Grant in his own
State by the Blaine party has been car.
ried o little too far. They apprehend
that Il will create Q feeling OF exceeding
bitterness between the Grant and Blaine
forces and that tho end may DO that
while they will be able to destroy one
another they will thus make room for
Secretary Sherman or the OZARK horse"
The Sherman canvass, 10 view OF the
war OF the Blaine and Grant adherents,
IL now considered to be very formidable.
Senator Coukling expressed himself
very confidently again today. he says
the boilers will be frustrated, and their
treason, a. be calls Il, recoil upon them.

be ~disreRarded and ths unit rule 10 to be

Fact, rimbers, ESQ.

EDITOR GOLD HILL News: The dis.
cussion Of the question Of working the
low Qrads ores Of the Comstock when
the expenses Of mining and milling can
bs reduced sufficiently TO admit Of work
ing them without loss, naturally suggests
to the public another question II the
men who control the mines here are In
sarnss. In this matter, and really mean
business, Why don't they, before asking
miners 10 work for less than regular
wages, hrst obtain from the Virginia and
Truckss Railroad Company . reduction
In it, charges for freight, say Of from
forty to Atty per cent. from present
rates; then Q reduction in price OF wood,
timbsrs, etc.; and next . reduction In
water rates from The Water Company :
When these things are obtained there 10
reason TO believe that miners here will
then look moro fsvorably upon the
question Of reduction Of wages for work
In the upper levels OF our mines. But
10 long % NO steps arc taken 10 bring
about . reduction OF freights, etc.. 10 It
strange that miners look with distrust
upon q proposition that is aimed solely
at them : The Virginia and Truekee
Railroad Company, BY its system OF OF.
tortiou In freight charges. and BY keep.
ing mp the price Of fuel here to nearly
double fair prices, has drained this
community Of its life-blood and
caused the expenses Of living here
to bs nearly double what they are
In any other community Of this size In
the world. With Q reduction Of rail.
road freight charges, . reduction in price
Of fuel, and the consequent reduction In
price Of every article Of consumption, the
expenses Of living here will be materially
lesssnsd, and men osn then perhaps al.
ford TO work for less wages than they
receive at present. Lot the powers
that be" frst accomplish somsthing In
the dirsstion suggested above, then they
can discuss the question Of reduction OF
wages for work In upper levels with clean
hands and In Q spirit that will carry with
II evidence Of good faith.
