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. ? I MM i * I 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. Commercial. The Cluirlcston Colton and Klee Market.
