The Golden Side. There is many a rest in the road of life, If we would only stop 10 take it: And many a tone from (he b iter land, If iho querulous heart would make ill To (he soul (hat is full of hope. And whose beautiful (rust ne'er faitelh, The grass is green and ihe flowers are bright Tnougb the winter storm prevaileth. Belter to hope, though the clouds hang low, Aud to keep llis eyes st.lt lilted ; For the sweet blue sky will soon peep thro' When (he ominous clouds are rifed ! There never was a nigh wi.bout a day, Or an evening without a morning ; And the darkest hours, the proverb goes, Is the hour before the dawning. There is many a gem in I >e pntli of life, Which we pass in our idle pleasure, That is richer far titan lite jewel crown, Or the miser's hoard of treasure ; It may be (lie love of a little child, Or a mother's prayer to heaven, Or only a beggar's gitt'eliil thanks For n cup ol water given. Be* ter to weave in the web of life A brighi nad go.d tti ti.lmg And to do God s will with a r-ady heart. And hands that ure ready and willing; Than to snap ibedolicaie, minute threads Of our ourtous lives asunder, And then blame heaven wii h t he tangled ends And sit and grieve and wouder.

It cannot be otherwise. We do not care whether he is a man of long prayers or short ones, or ol no prayers at all. he is an adventurer of a sordid, vengeful, reckless, sensual cast, lie cares only for self, in point of worldly profit; and has no cares as to how his interests are promoted. Kulc or ruin is his motto; force is his weapon, dt eeit and falsehood his main allies, and c; tiling piety his refuge, 'i he Carpet-bagger in his best estate is u hypociiie and a scoundrel. Under the pretext of cxtia philanthropy he is doing the dev Is work whete e*ei he goes, keeping up excitement, propagaing falsehood and ill feeling.? 67/elfvtile (Ohio") Democrat. ?? ? m The cotton nulls in the United States arc 0,0-7 in nuuilnr, running 7.685.082 spiuuics, anu gonHiiuiin^ pounds of cotton per annum.

Brorttlos. Give a child his will and a whelp his fill, and neither wiii thrive. In morals, as in geometry, a straight line is the shortest distance between any two points. May our future reward be like that of hiiu who remains silent under a false imputation. rr _i ? _ii i rue eloquence consists id baying an that is necessary, and nothing but what I is necessary. California pays a premium of $1 to any one who plants a shado tree by a roadside. God creates men ; men create sin ; and sin, unfbrgiven, creates cortaiu destruction of the soul. There can be no truo enjoyment in a life which docs not contemplate the good of others ns well as ourselves. If you would be pungent, be brief; for it is with words us with sunbeams?the more they are condensed, tho deeper they burn. A more glorious victory cannot be gained over another man, than this, that wheu the injury began on his part, the kindness should begin on ours. The greater the difficulty, the more glory is there in surmounting it. Skillul pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests. Tho rose is sweetest when it first opens and the spikenard when it dies. Beauty belong to youth and dies with it; but the odor of piety survives death and perfumes tho tomb. It is not only slander to pick a bole where there is none, but to make that niuui *tiiiuii is| so mat it appcarcin more ugly, and cannot to easily be mended. Horace Greeley Hays, that the darkest day in any man's earthly career is that wherein he fancies that there is some easier way ol gaining a dollar than by squarely earning it. As iu the fairest and most conspicuous place of the city wo eroct monuments to worthy men, so in the fairest part of the soul should we erect lasting memorials oi the Divine bounty. An oid, aensiblo man, being urged to join the Romish Church said, in view oi the many lasts and much lailh required, '-you give us too little to cat, and too much to swallow." The Cuban Revolt.?An cx-coloncl of the Federal army arrived here yesterday iu the British schooner Lion, having left Nassau on the 12th instant. lie reports considerable activity among the Cubans at Nassau in the shipment of nrtillcry and war metcrial. Fifteen Armstrong guns had been sent to the insurgents, besides large quantities of grape and canister. The < Id blockade?running steamer, Gem, now known as the Sunsulvador, ol Nussau, and commanded by Captain Carlin, was runnirg between Nassau and Cu.. ba, in the inteiest oi the insurgents. Rut taint hopes were entertained oi the success oi the rebels, who were reduced already 10 a system oi bushwhacking warfare, and whose only hope lay in the speedy opening of the raiiy season. [Charleston Newt. There is a ghastly kind of comfort in reading the language in which the Pennsylvania prcssspeaks of their State Legislature which haajust adjourned. It is roundly denounced ts the most venal and corrupt bodly oi men that cvej^at in deliberation in tho State Capitol," which encourages the forloru hope that perhapuur Legislature may not be absolute ly the most venal body that ever robbed a State under pretence of making laws for it. "Anylhii g th?t hud money in it," says the llurrisburg State Souniul, 'however unfair, disgraceful and destrucive it might be, was sure to puss." "Divorce bills were opcaly sold in the lobbies; the tax bill on coal was bought through tbe House, aud when it reached the Senate S-'.OOO a vote was freely offered tor it passage."
