THE BAILY NEWS A Year's Work. Sitting beside toe casement, In tho chill October dav. While Twilight, wrapped in her misty veil, Was sobbing her lire away: Hearing the tinkle ot tho beck. And the chirp of the lingering bird. And tb? whistle of the homobound hind, And tho low of the distant herd ; Watching the red leaves floating down From the branches, one by one; Thick'nc of all that a year could do. Of all that a year bad done. Sweet as an April morn it rose, Tho love that bad failed so soon, Strewing her path with bright Slay flowers, Brilliant and warm as Jane. It drooped in August's fervid smile, It fell like the year's last rose; Sho will scarcely trace its resting place, 'Neath December's comim; snows. The blossoms will bloom into Hf - ogam At the call of -he suoimer sun, But nor tie nor tide cm undo for ber What a single year hos done. Sitting beside the casement Till tho stars gleam through the ft: H. The large tears droppim.', slow and cold, On tho.-c folded hands ol h?rs. They glitt* r as bright in the red firelight As the diamond that she wore, Fro she drew lt off, thc moekns pledge Of a troth whose truth was o'er. The hoUow darkes around her creeps; Tho day's long watch is run, And all that they sworo but Dea'h could do A httlo year his done. GOSSIP ABOUT ROYALTY. 'A Royal Strike-Wales and ' bis Boon Companions-A Royal Household Tbe Abdication of Queen Victoria. The London correspondant of tho Boston Poet gives tho following lively and interesting gossip abont the promising "heir to the tbrono of England" : It is said that Wales projected his long con? tinental and eastern tour as a kind of strike for increased wages. You know that had Jthe Tory Ministry remained in power, it was AB good aa committed to vote him a few hun? dred thousands of pounds addition to his in? come, wbiob.with a Liberal (rovernment,headed by tho terribly arithmetical Mr. GIadstone,is out of the question. Also tbat he, Wales, and his wife, had to do all the receptions, &c., at great cost to themselves; in consequence of which they are very considerably in debt. Hence no end of talk that the Queen .ight, could, would or should abdicate in her son's favor, leaving the business to the young people and devoting herself thenceforth to the literary apotheosis of the late Prince Albert in innumerable vol? umes; an idea the former part of which Wales was supposed warmly to favor. And, now, it is asserted that he- withdraws, en famille, at a time when festivity is the order of tho dav, and when . \iliament 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 al1, upwards of fivo months; leaving tho aristocracy and the West czd?TBTO get along as well as they can witbout him and all the doings which his presence naturally originates. No doubt, too, he likes the prospect of a good long holiday and plenty of free-and-easy junketing in for? eign capitals, where ho can go to the theatre on Sundays and ogle pretty actresses, and dance all night tall the broad daylight and-but it wouldn't be fair to complete tbe quotation. He is what "serious" old ladies are accustomed to call "a very gay young man." He has grown corpulent and thick-necked, and looks like the great-grandson of George the Third; though his beard hides the lack of chin and improves the- unsatisfactory facial anglo. He smokes consumedly and uses a short pipe. H- goes most persistently to theatres and to mu nc halls; aid once had "the great Vance," as he calls himself-a low comic singer-to Marlborough Houss to amuse his guests; in consequence of which the fellow bas advertis? ed himself as "under tho especial patronage of the Prince of Wale*?" ever since. In short, in stable-phrase, the young man "feels his oats," and has sown a large crop of wild ones, tho al? leged details of which don't, you may bo sure, diminish m 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 hluiseU, he lu also the cause of extravagance in others; every? body lights the candle at both ends and burns as many (metaphorically) as possible. Old General Knollya, his major-domo, is a highly respectable person who knows as much abs?\ business as most retired army officers, which ia to say 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 ; prevent collusion among the servants and tradesfolks, but gave it tip in despair; and has , since then allowed things to drift anyhow with right royal fatuity. He named one of his favorite horses "Pickpocke'..'' probably in compliment to the dealer from whom < he bought bim. (Another he called ? "Punch"-though I am not aware of its being particularly slow and stupid. Like . a proper Prince Boyal, h: has dis? counted his "great expectations," and borrow- ' ed a prodigious amount of money, particularly from a fashionable tailor and <t horse-dealer, , whose names I could mention, and who enjoy , a privilege of access to him qiite remarkable. So that I am inclined to think there may be some foundation for the story wtncu ^tributes 1 an under current of motive to his forcira ex? cursion. But if ho entertains an idea of mam- < ma's abdication, he is certainly doomed to dis- , appointment. Women in general, and espe- . emily middle-aged and elderly ones, are deci? dedly fond of authority ; indeed Chaucer-no ' mean judge of human nature-tolls us, via the ' Wife of Bath, they love it best of all things ; and any one who nas observed her Majesty's career ir connection with her people must have remarked that she entertains a i strong and even jealous regard for her relations toward them. The taking them 1 into her confidence apropos of "Our Lifo in ' the Highlaads" was a culminating instance of it. She is altogether a healthy, hearty woman, with the prospeot of a good many years of Ufe 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 Rcgeut or Albert the First. So that ho must e'en possess his soul in pa? tience-if he really desires a dignity pregnant with so many responsibilities. I had almost forgotten to state that he had, so to speak, drawn bills on his constitution as well as hts income. It is said that Dr. Farre has advised him to moderate bis pace; hence he probably foes to nurse his health, as well as his purse", esides the reasons before instanced. Farre is a friend of the Prince's. I wish he had no worse int?malos-for instance an exceedingly "fast" young swell named Carrington, and Schoolbred, thc linen draper of Tottenham Court Road, who now "protects" Wales' old flame, Mary Wilton, the actress. THE PRUSSIAN NEEDLE GUN. Dis affection with lt in tbe Army-Ex? periments with New Weapons-A Rival tor tbe Cbassepot. A Berlin letter (December 1) to the New York Times says : Considerable excitement has oxiatod in mili? tary circles, during the past two or three months, with regard to soveral breech-loading rifles of new patterns, which throw into tho shade the famous needle gan with which Prus? sia broke the military power of Austria at Sa? dowa, and cowed Franco into receding from her designs against Luxemburg and thc left bank of tho Rhine. Superior as was that for? midable weapon to tie ordinary muzzle-loader, tho progress of invention soou lott it far be? hind, and Prussia already finds herself as much in the rear of other nations as sho was in the advance two yearn ago. Thu Chxssopot, whioh ?.did wondetb" at Montano against Garibaldi's patriot army, surpasses the needle gun in sov? eral important particulars. It is less compli? cated, and ihereforo less liablo to got out of order; it is moro accurate, and hus a much longer range, and eau be moro rapidly loaded and discharged. An army furnished with, this weapon would surpass one armed with tho needle gun in H bout tho same ratio that tho Prussians surpassed tho Austrians in the late war. In this diltmma, and with thc possibility of a war with Frauoe staring them in tbo face, the military authorities of Prussia looked about for some means to maintain their supe? riority, and a great many inventions and im? provements were submitted to them for trial. Among others was a gun invented by Mr. Mor^anstern, of your city. It was subjected to very severe tests ct thc military shooting at Spandau, last month, with the most encour? aging results. Though delighted, in one sense, with the rewilt of these experiments, the military authorities of Prussia feel that tbe comparative inefficiency ot tue needle-gun places them in an awkward quandary in re? spect to France, and even in respect to Aus? tria. Their government has immense quanti? fies of this weapon in store, besides those in the hands of the army, and the expense of re? arming the troops would he enormous, and iu tho present Btate of the national finance i well nigh impossible; and yet, if the present dis? turbed condition of affaira in Europe should result in war, Prussia would be found at a ter? rible disadvantage, and perhaps lose the as? cendancy which the needle gun gave her at Sadowa. GEHMAN IMMIGRANTS. -The New York Daily Bulletin speaks in high terms of the German element of American society. It Bays: Tbe Ger? man immigrant is usually a man of intelligence Unless he is a skilled mechanic or artizan, and can more readily obtain profitable employ? ment in large cities or manufacturing town?, he usually strikes -westward, and if he can pet a picco of land, cultivates it in an econoraical and profitable manner. If enough of I hese gather together to iorm a community, they usually have a church and schoolhouse as soon aa possible, and steps are taken to make their litt'o hamlot thc nucleus of a prosperous and wealthy town. All this is thoroughly characteristic of thc quick-witted, energetic German. Ho is an independent thinker hv nature, an enthusiastic worker in any depart? ment of industry, and a bravo, earnest, law abiding citizen "of any community iu which he may make iii* residence. Naturally favoring hbcral laws and tho greatest amount of per? sonal freedom, lie is a-i earnest supporter ot the institutions of Democracy-understanding this term in a goneral and not in a partisan sense. Thrifty, prudent and industrious, our German immigrants are a valuable addition to tho working and producing cb&ses of society. Simmental Tue Charleston Cotton and Rice Market.

Ho forgot tho lessons his good mother taught him, and was oskod by designing politicians to sell his voto to a party of swindlers; he could not for the life of him give articulation to that bttJe word, and so he fell. HOW OFTEN LO Wa HEAR Tilt COMPLAINT, From mother and f>lhor, that thc son or daughter ia not well; that they have no appetite ; that they feel languid; that tho head ache.? ail tho time; that they aro growing, thin and fcoblo, aud that they havo no lifo nor energy lelt Aud the questioLS arc often asked, What shall I do for th' m ?

Just Uko you aud us, my boy. Ho has wit, KC usc, education, intelligence, friends, ambition, and is loved. He has a knowlodgo of the world, acquired by mixing with its people Be has ambition and tho same field in which to win honor, f imo and dis tim tion, as had Franklin, Fulton, Morar, and a host of others. Heia naturally snort, but, Yaller, n.y bry, as he moots us do you si* the excess of mois? ture in his eye, the httlo puffy ridge under lt, the pradual turning of the beautilut corners of the mouth, his mother so loved to kiss. These, my boy, tell u sad lalo of early shipwreck, of disease, of pre mature dealh, of neglected and squandered gifts. lecembcrT lyr . SOLUBLE MANURES.
