THE DAILY NEWS.
A Year'? Work.
8*tlng beside tho casement,
Ia the chill October dav,
Whilo Twilight, wrapped iu her misty veil,
Was sobbing her lifo away;
Hearing tho tinkle ot tho bock.
And tho chirp of the llngoriug bird.
And th? whistle of the homebound hind,
And tho low of tho distaut herd ;
Watching tho red leaves floating down
From the branches, one by one;
Thieu mr of all that a year could do,
Of all that a year had done.
Sweet as an April morn it rose,
Tho love that had failed so soon,
Strewing her path with bri?ht May flowers,
Brilliant and warm as Juno.
It drooped in August's fervid smile,
It foll like tho j ear's last rose;
Sho will scarcely trace its resting place,
'Neath December's coming snows.
Tho blossoms will bloom Into lifo again
At tho call of the su aimer sun,
Dut nor tie nor tide ein undo for her
What a single year bas done.
Sitting beside the casement
Till the stars gleam through the his.
The largo tears dropping, slow and cold,
On tho.-e folded hands ol hors.
They glittt r as bright in thc red firelight
As tho diamond that she woro,
Ero sho drew Hoff, the mocking pledge
Of a troth whoBO truth was o'er.
Tho bellow darkucse around her creeps;
'ibo day's long watch is run,
And all that they swore but Deaih could do
A little year his done.
GOSSIP ABOUT ROYALTY.
A Royal Strike-Wales and 'His Boon
Companions-A Royal Household-- |
Tl&e Abdication of Queen Victoria.
Tho London correspondent of tho Boston
Post giveB tho following livoiy and interesting
gossip about tho promising "heir to the throne
of England" :
It is said that Wales projectod his long con?
tinental and eastern tour.UH a kind of strike
for increased wages. You know that had
the Tory Ministry; remained in power, it was
as good as committed to vote him a few hun?
dred thousands of pounds addition to his in
come,which,with a Liberal j?overnment,headed
by the terribly arithmetical Mr. Glads tono,ia out
of the question. Also that he, Wales, mid his
wife, had to do all tbo receptions, &o., at great
cost to themselves; in consequence; of which
they are very considerably in debt. Uenoo no
end of talk that the Queen might, could, would
or should abdicate in her son's favor, leaving
the business to the young people and devoting
herself thenceforth to tho literary apotheosis
of tho late Prince Albert in innumerable vol?
umes; an idea thc former part of which Wales
was supposed warmly to favor. And, now, it
is asserted that he withdraws, m famille, at
a time when festivity is the order of the day,
and when Parliament is about to begin a new
season, as a hint that he thinks something
ought to be done for him. He intends, too, to
stay away till May-in al', upwards of five
months; leaving the aristocracy and the West
endoro to get along as well as they can without
him and all the doings which his presence
naturally originates. No doubt, too, ho likes
the prospect of a Rood long holiday and
plenty of free-and-easy junketing in for?
eign capitals, where he can go to the
.theatre on Sundays and ogle pretty actresses,
and dance all night till tho broad daylight
-arm_-but it wouldn't be fair to c amp?ete the
quotation no ?2 whal '?serious" old ladies are
accustomed to calf "a very gay v?unF man."
He has grown corpulent and thick-neckea, uHii
looks like the great-grandson of George the
Third; though his beard hides tho lack of chin
and improves the unsatisfactory facial anglo.
He smokes consumedly and uses a short pipe.
He goes most persistently to theatres and to
music halls; and once had "the great Vance,"
as ho calls himself-a low comic singer-to
Marlborough ilona.) to amuse his guests; in
consequence of which the fellow bas advertis?
ed himself as "under the especial patronage of
the Prince of Wales" ever since. In short, in
stable-phrase, the young man "feels his oats,"
and has sown a large crop of wild ones, the al?
leged details of which don't, you may be sure,
diminish in telling. But he is very good
natured and amiable; indeed, rather too much
of the former. They pillage him at the Marl?
borough House. Extravagant himself, he is
also the cause of extravagance in others; every?
body lights the candle at both ends and burns
as many (metaphorically) as possible. Old
General Knollys, his major-domo, is a highly
respectable person who knows as much about
business as most retired army officers, which
is to aay nothing at all; and the resolution and
administrative faculty of a Napoleon would
hardly avail to stop the profligate expenditure.
Wales tried it some years ago, attempting to
?revent collusion among the servants and
radesfolks, but gave it np in despair; and has
sinoe then allowed things to drift anyhow
with right royal fatuity. He named one of
his favorite horses "Pickpocket," probably
in compliment to the dealer from whom
he bought him. (Another he called
"Punoh"-though I am not aware of its
being particularly slow and stupid. Like
a proper Prince Boyal, he has dis?
counted his "great expectations," and borrow?
ed a prodigious amount of money, particularly
from a fashionable tailor and a horse-dealer,
whose names I could mention, and who enjoy
a privilege of access to him quite remarkable.
So that I am inclined to think there may be
some foundation for the story which attributes
an under current of motive to his foreign ex?
cursion. But if he entertains an idea of mam?
ma's abdication, he is certainly doomed to dis?
appointment. Women in general, and espe?
cially middle-aged and elderly, ones, are deci?
dedly fond of authority ; indeed Chaucer-no
mean jndge of human nature-tells us, via the
Wife of Bath, they love it best of all things ;
and any one who nas observed her Majesty's
career in connection with her people must
have remarked that she entertains a
strong and even jealous regard for her
relations toward them. The taking them
into ber confidence apropos of "Our Life in
the Highlands" was a culminating instance of
it. She is altogether a healthy, hearty woman,
with the prospeot of a good many years of life
before her-in fact, sc many that Wales may
need one of those nutty-brown wigs sported by
a former possessor of the title 'before he ob?
tains either that of Begent or Albert the First.
So that he must e'en possess his soul in pa?
tience-if be really desires a dignity pregnant
with so many responsibilities. I had almost
forgotten to state that he had, BO to speak,
drawn bills on his constitution as well as his
income. It'is said that Dr. Farro bas advised
him to moderate bis pace; hence he probably
goes to nurse his health, as well as his purse,
besides the reasons before instanced. Farre
is a friend of the Prince's. I wish he had no
worse intimates-for instance an exceedingly
"fast" young swell named Carrington, and
Sohoolbrod, the brion draper of Tottenham
Court Road, who now "protects" Wales' old
flame, Mary Wilton, the actress.
THU PRUSSIAN NISEI*IE GUN.
Disaffection witto it in tke Army-Bx?
p?riment* wita Now Weapons-A
Rival for tko Ckassepot.
A Berlin letter (December 4) to the New
York Times say? :
Considerable excitement has existed in mili?
tary oiroles. during the past two or three
mouthe, with regard to several breech-loading
rifles of new patterns, which throw into the
shade the famons needle gan with which Prus?
sia broke the military power of Austria at Sa?
dowa, and cowed France into receding from
her designs against Luxemburg and the left
bank of the Rhine. Superior as was that for?
midable weapon to the ordinary muzzle-loader,
the progress of invention soon left it far be?
hind, and Prussia already finds herself as much
in the rear of other nations as she was in the
advance two years ago. The Chassepot.whioh
"did wonders" at Montano against Garibaldi's
patriot army, surpasses the needle gun in sev?
eral important particulars. It is less compli?
cated, and therefore less liable to get ont of
order; it is more accurate, and has a much
longer range, and can be more rapidly loaded
and discharged. An anny furnished with this
weapon would surpass one armed with the
needle gun in about the same ratio that the
Prussians surpassed the Austrians in the late
war. In this dilemma, and with the possibility
of a war with France staring them in tbe face,
the military authorities of Prussia looked
about for some means to maintain their supe?
riority, and a great many invention? and im?
provement? were submitted to them for trial.
Among others was a gun invented by Mr.
Morgenstern, ef your city. It was subjected
to very severe teats st the military shooting at
Spandan, last month, with the most encour?
aging results. Though delighted, in one
sense, with the result of these experiments,
the military authorities^Pruseia feel that the
comparative inefflotenoy -of the neodle-gnn
place? them hi an awkward quandary in re
afoot to France, and even in respes* to Aus?
tria. Their government has immense quanti?
fies of this weapon in store, besides those in
tho hands of tho army, and tho expenae of re?
arming tho troops would bo enormous, and in
tho present state of the national finanoo ? well
nigh Impossible; and yet, if tho present dis?
turbed condition of affairs in Europo should
result in war, Prussia would bo found at a ter?
rible disadvantage, and porhaps lose the as?
cendancy which thc needle -gun gave her at
Sadowa.

GERMAN IMMIGRANTS-Tte Now York Daily
Bulletin speaks in high terms of tko Gorman
olement of American society. It says: Tho Ger?
man immigrant is usually a man of intelligence..
UnloBshei8a skilled mechanic or artizau,
and can more readily obtain prof it abbi employ?
ment in largo cities or manufacturing towns,
ho usually strikes westward, and if ho can fret
a piece of land, cultivates it iu an economical
and profitable manaor. If onougli of tlieso
gather togother to form a community, they
usually have a church and schoolhouse as
soon as possible, and stops aro taken to make
their little hamlet trie nucleus of a prosperous
and wealthy town. All this is thoroughly
characteristic of tho quick-witted, energetic
German. He is an independent thinker hy
nature, an enthusiastic woi ker in any depart?
ment of industry, nnd a bravo, earnest, law
abiding citizen of any community in which ho
may mal; .' his residence. Naturally favoring
liberal laws and tho greatest amount of per?
sonal freedom, he is an earnest supporter ot
the institutions of Democracy-understanding
this term in a general and not in a partisan
sonso. Thrifty, prudent and industrious, our
German immigrants are a valuable addition to
tho working and producing classes of society.

py manor woman, and the affairs of another trouble
them but a little. It is none of your business if the
ministet kisses one of the sisters, or one of the sis?
ters thui salutes Cte minister. It cannot effect you
when a nan you know calls on a girl you don't know,
or one jon do. What if there is kissing behind the
door, ic tunnels, and whou tho night is dark at the
vos tilmo of the '.burch, or even ever the gate. Would
you not do tho same thing if the chanco was offered ?
A WINE GLASS F?LL
Of Plantet io a Bitters, taken three times a day, before
each mal, will make the flame of life again burn
brightly, and illuminate a once wretched existence.
For ladi'R it is an elegant and -jem stimulant, just
such as Ley require.
I WENT TO THE LAND OF STEADY HABITS.
I wanted to hand several "bricks" down to pos?
terity, andwaa told by father that with a New Eng?
land girl tor a wife, I could raise more children, grow
more onioas, skin more cols, sing more psalms,
know moi e of what was going on in the neighbor?
hood, hear more scandal, sleep less nights, have
more relatives; eat more beans, love myself and hato
others more, and get more out of a dollar, than any
other sort of woman in this happy country eo-callcd.
PLANTATION BTPTEBS.

Bark (known the world over for its curative proper?
ties), ant will fortify the system against disease,
caused by change of water and diet. If you aro in?
clined tc dyspepsia, try it. If you have the chills
and fever, or any kindred disease, by all means take
Plantat im Bitters. They are sold by all druggists

AND HE H&D A FEMALE ORTLD,
Whose name was Hexa Brightwater, and who woe
twenty-nine years old ; who wore red stockings, red
garters, m?tal tipped shoes, green spectacles, and
the prettiest red hair the world ever set eyes on or
lA?. H?xa, a true New Bogland gal, chewed wads of |
pine gian, and sweetened her broth with onions.
Hexa wisn't so much handsomer than a doll as to
make the doll faint, but she was intelligent ; in fact, in?
telligent? wes her best hold but. one; she was great
on makio g baby .garments, and had her trunks full,
packed iway, that she might be ready as willing
when the evil hour drew nigh, as she trusted lt would
from year to year.
IP THE LADIES BUT KNEW '
What thousands of them are constantly relating
to us, wt candidly believe one half of the weakness,
prostration and distress experk need bj- them would
vanish.
. JAMES MABfeH, ESQ.,
No. 160 WeBt First-ttreet, New York, says he
has tiree children. The first two are weak and
puny, his wife having been unable to nurse or
attend them; but she has taken Plantation Bit?
ters tor the last ten years, and has a child now 18
months old, which she has nursed and reared her?
self and both are beatty and well. Plantation Bit?
ter??' Invaluable to mothers.
VALTKB, MY BOY,
Here comes a man who was once rich. He had
nievls, and money, and a loving family, and posi?
tion, end influence, and self-respect, and Integrity,
and a future of usefulness before him. Bm, my
boy; he don't look like it now. .He was elected to an
important office. He forgot the lessons his good
movW taught him, and waa asked by designing
polia Jans to sell his vote to a party of swindlers; fae
could not for the Ufe of him give articulation to that
little word, and so he fell.
> HOW OFTEN DO WE HEAR THE COMPLAINT,
Frtm mother and father, that the son or daughter is
nofwell; that they have no appetite; that they feel
languid; that the heed, aches all the time; that they
an growing thin and feeble, and that they have no
UR nor energy left. And the question o are often
?tied, Whet shall I do for them ? What shall I give
tb*m? Our answer ls, let them try Plantation Bit?
ten moderately, three times e dey, and* our word
foi lt they will reeover.
