those who contemplated going there the present

the rage now, and California must furnish her
quota of restless but enterprising spirits who are
to be the pioneers of that vast and unexplored
territory. Thousands-many thousands-are to
meet disappointment in. that region, but never
theless it is hardly worth while to intimate as
much to those who are bent on going. sNoth-
ing ventured, nothing gained is the Califor-
mans motto, but we shall venture the assertion
that if the means which is to 60 from here to
aid in developing Montana was g ventured u
nearer home, the final result would be more
satisfactory to the venturers. But We advise
every one who wants to, to go to Montana, and
see for himself.

A little low-ceiled room. Four walls


Whose blank shut out all else of life,
And crowded close within their bound


A world of pain and toll, and strife.
Her world. Scarce Furthermore she knew
OF Gods great globe, that wondrously
Outroils glory of green errth,


And frames it with the restless sea.
Four closer walls of common pine


And therein lieth, cold aud still,
The weary flesh that long hath borne


Its patient mystery of ill,
Regardless now of work to do


No queen more careless in her state;
Hands crossed in their unbrokeu calm;
For other hands the work may wait.
Put by, at last, beneath the lid,
The exempted hands, the tranquil face
.Uplift her in her dteamless sleep,


And bear her gently from the place
Oft she hath gazed, with wistful eyes,
Out from that threshold on the night
The narrow bourn she crosseth now;


She standeth in the Eternal Light
Oft she hath pressed with aching feet,
Those broken steps that reach the door
Henceforth with angels she shall tread
Heavens golden stair for ever more.

Two little busy hands patting on the window
Two laughing, bright eyes looking out at me;
Two rosy red cheeks dented with a dimple;
hOther-bird is coming baby, do you see2
Down by the lilac-bush, something white and
azure


Saw in the window as passed the tree
Well l knew the apron and the shoulder-knots
of ribbon,
All belonged to baby, looking out for me.
Talking low and tenderly


To myself, as mothers will,


Spake | softly, f" God in Heaven


Keep my darling free from i'll.
Worldly gain and worldly honors


Ask | not for her from Thee
But from want and sin and sorrow


Keep her ever pure and free.
Two little waxen hands,


Folded soft and silently;


Two little curtained eyes,


Looking out no more for me


Two little snowy cheeks,
Dimple-deuted nevermore


Two little trodden shoes,


That will never touch the floor
ShOulder-ribbon softly twisted,


Apron folded, clean aud white
These are left me-and these only,


or the childish presence bright.
Thus He sent an answer to my earnest praying,
Thus He keeps my darling free from earthly
stain straying /;
Thus be folds the pet lamb safe from earthly
But miss her sadly by the window pane,
Till | look above it then with purer vision,
Sad, weep no longer the lilac bush to pass,
For see her, angel, pure and white aud sinless,
Walking with the harpers on the of glass
Two little snowy wings
Softly fiutter to and fro


Two tiny childish hands


BeckOn still to me below


Two tender angel eyes


Watch me ever earnestly,


Through the loop-holes Of the stars


Babys looking out for me.

GEN. GRANT AS A CANDtbATE.-A Washington
dispatch to the N. Y. Times says " Much of this
speculation is INDUCED in by political partisans
for interested purposes. l can say upon good
authority, that Gen. Grant will, in no event, be
a candidate for the Presidency at the next Pres
idential election, and any use of his name in
that connection is wholly unauthorized aud dep
recated by the General. With reference to the
proposed constitutional amendment, Gen. Grant
has on several occasions said th at be could see
no serions objection to the amendment in itself,
and he in fact approves Of its main features, but
neTeftheless, it is his opinion that the Southern
loyal representatives should have been first ad-
mitted to their seats, and an opportunity given
them to vote on the joint resolution to amend
the Constitution before the same was submitted
to the several State Legislatures. In brief, his
views on the latter proposition are identical
with those of the President"

The rebels are as anxious about General
Grants position now as they were during the
war, and the Argus tries to do away with the
impression produced by the exposure of the
Presidents trick to draw the General into an
parent completely with the Philadelphia plot
by calling it ridiculous" What will the Ar
gus say to the following paragraph, from the
Lewiston Journal:


We happen to know personally through
gentleman who has been intimate with Cen
Grant for the last few months, that his sympa-
thies in the present political crisis are soholly
,csth Congress, and that he is entirely opposed
to the tyronicdl and egotistical course of Presi-
dent johnson. We knoao that such are the sem
timents of the General-so that what comfort
the Copperheads can extract from his presence
at the White House, on Saturday, at the time
Of the reception of the Paddock Committee,
they are entirely welcome to. Gen. Grant is
in position where he cares not to make a
noisy display ofhis political opinions, but when
crisis comes to call him forth, rest assured he
will not be found wanting. Hesis discreet, but

examined the Post Office building, which was
injured by the great fire. He concurred in the
decision of the architect and builders who had
previously examined the building, that it must

not be taken down this year. Some needed

COLONEL CRoaHAN, to whose family this
great natural curiosity belongs, was resi-

went to Europe some thirty years ago, and
found himself frequently questioned as to the
wonders of the Mammoth CsVe-s place he
had never visited, and ofWhieh he heard but
little at home, though living within ninety
miles of IT, he went there on. his return,

great vigilance is exercised to prevent'such
subterranean surveys and measurements as
would enable one to sink a shalt with any
certainty. The cave extends ten or twelve
miles in several directions, and it has been
conjectured that there is probably many a

miles of the cave quite unconscious that the

heavy shoe, the animal is shod in what are

foot to expand naturally, and that it lasts as
long and is as cheap as the old plan.

Washington Chronicle, that if there are
not enough Whites in the South who
can take the iron-elad test oath to Gil
the Federal Offices, that there are plenty
of Negroes there who can take it, and
that, therefore, the offices should be con
ferred on them, inasmuch as they are
more deserving and more trustworthy
than any of the men who took up arms to
establish Southern Confederaey. The

the same. The substitute the committee now

CONFINED BY MILITARY Authority
The President has telcgraphed to General
Terry for list of all persons who have
been sent to the State Penitentiary by
military commissions or courts-martial, for
crimes less than murder, and who have
been confined six months or more. 1t is
stated that all such will be pardoned and
released, and, as the required list has been
forwarded, the order is anxiously looked
forward to. Under such an order about
fifty persons would be released. Some are
victims to perjury, some to circumstantial
evidence, and the majority to the igno-
rance that exists in all foreigners Of the
manners and habits of the negro. Let us
