[The following is a translation (rom an ancient Spanish j ..poem, which, says the Edinburg Review, is surpassed by I -nothing with whiehwe are acquainted in 'the Spanish 'language, except the " Ode of Luis de Leon."] ,Ohl let the soul its slumbers break-— Arouse its senses and awake To see how soon Life, in its glories, glides away, And the stern footsteps of decay Come stealing on. Aud while we view the rolling tide, Down which our flowing minutes glicto Away so fast, Let us the present hour employ, And deem each-future dream a joy Already past. -Let no vain hope deceive the mind— No happier-let us hope to find To-morrow, than to-day. Our golden dreams of yore were bright, Like them the present shall delight— Like them decay. Our lives like hasting streams must be, That into one engnlphing sea Are doomed to fall— • The sea of Death, whose waves roll on 'O'er king and kingdom, crown and throne, And swallow all. Alike the river's-lordly tide, Alike the humble rivulet's glide To that sad wave; Death levels poverty and pride— ThericB and poor sleep side by side Within the grave. Our birth is but a starting places Life is the running of the race, And death the goal : There all our glittering toys are brought— That path alone, -of all unsought, Is found of all. See, then, how poor and little worth Are all those glittering toys of earth That lure us here! -Dreams of a sleep that death must break, Alas ! before-it bids us wake, 1 ' We disappear. Long ere the damp of earth can blight, The cheek's pure glow of red and white Has passed away : Youth smiled, and all was heavenly fair— Age came and laid his finger there, And where are they ? 'Where is the strength that spurned decay, The steps that roved so light and gay, The heart's blithe tone? 'The strength is gone, the step is slow, - And joy grqws wearisome, and wol When age comes on ! Division.—A Southern -planter I , pretty well to do in the world 'Simple •giamed P- , r ----. now was, some twenty years ago, a poor boy , « w i j n _ _ r *on the eastern shore of Maryland. Cne of the strongest and mo'st marked traits of his character, was an inordinate love of money. This, however, is the characteristic of tbe peoplq in them diggins, where they practice skinning strangers in brisk seasons and skin ning one another when times are dull. In the course of time P-was of age, and thought it abont time to get married. He went to a neighboring village, and in the course of time »was introduced t o the da ugh ter of Judge B-. " Dang fine.gal 1 77 said the embryo specu lator to his frieuds, who were gaiaiug him an entrance among the elite. " Very.'* 7 " How much might Judge B. be worth ?" " Why, about ten thousand dollars,' 7 was tbe reply. "And how many children has Judge B. ?" continued the inquirer. " Three." "Only three? Three into ten goes three •times and a third over," mentally ciphered P. Here was a chance—a glorious chance— -and he improved it too. He made love to the beautiful and unsophisticated daughter of the Judge with all his possessions. Strange to say, for he was as uncouth a looking cub as ever went unlicked, his suit prospered aud they were married. The honeymoon passed off as all other hon eymoons do, and they were happy. The bride was lively and chatty, and often made allusions to her brothers and sisters. Start led by some names he thought should not be in the catalogue of relations, one evening at tea he said : « My dear, I thought there were only three of you?" '•So there are by my ma, but my pa's first wife had eight more." "Eleven into ten no times, and nary one over !" said the astonish ed P., who jumped up and kicked the chair over, and groaned in perfect agony. " I'm sold ! I'm »old 1 aqd—and—a great sight cheaper than an old bell-wether sheep at that!" à V FÏM)M THE CAPITAL. , Lewiston, December 4th, 1864. •Ed. World-: The celebrated message of " Governor Warren of Warrensdale," prom " Governor Warren of Warrensdale," prom-j sedinmy last, has not, for some reason, been delivered. The Governor*! War 7 . . _ . j ren) favored us with a Thanksgiving Procla 1 mation, which is all we have as jet officially from bis Excellency. I The Capital question was disposed of yes terday in the Cocncil -(having previously] I _ , tt \ , ,, . „ . j passed the lower Douse) by the following vote-: Ayes—Dilley, '-Cummins, Miller and u J1 7 Smith—4-; Noes—Capps, Fenn and Water bury—3. So the Capital of Udaho, from and after the'24fh inst., Will 'be at Boise city. The Bill funding the debt of Boise county, bas passed the House and is now in the Council, Where it will meet with some oppo I sition from /the Boise delegation in that body?, ag q am informed. A bill to divide Boise county was intro* duced in the House yesterday, by John Du vall of your county. I understand that Miller,, Smith and Cummins will support the measure] —how the other Councilmen will vote is un known to the subscriber. In the House the [•contest bids fair to be a very -bitter one. A Memorial to Congress for a Branch Mint ^ be established at Boise J » city, has .passed bot/h houses. (The Special Contract Bill has passed both Houses, and now only awaits the signature of the Governor to become a law. There are rumors that his Excellency will veto the bill-; if so, the bill will pass the Council over his head by a unanimous vote. The House will also pass the bill, if votoed, with only one or two dissenting votes-. • A bill has also passed both houses, perma nently locating the county seat of Alturas I county at Rocky Bar. Mr. Dilley has introduced a very stringent [ bill in ;the Council, to -punish persons for I adulterating gold dust. The bill meets with j great favor, aûd will pass both houses with '] little or no opposition. Numerous bills -have been introduced— [granting local'franchises, which do not meet [with much-favor, (particularly from a certain [ Councilman -residing in these parts. The members are all very busy, and anx I'ious to get through with their labors and return t© their constituents and give an ac-] [count -of -their stewardship. It is now be-| Kieve^ that the Legislature will adjourn on or before the 22d inst. A Mr. Knapp, said to be the father of the Mr. Knapp in your office, is lying very dan gerously ill at the Luna House. He has re ceived every care and attention which kind] i friends could render. More anon. Reporter. FROM ALTURAS. A friend handed us a letter received a fetv days ago trom an acquaintance living at Rocky Bar. The following extracts may be of some general interest: In my last letter I promised I would try and post you on this camp and the mines in tbis section. First, tbe snow is about two ,, feet deep, consequently it is pretty cold ; and ____.1.. *1 ,a a »not.nn Avnont tKnco that ara nearly all the arastras, except those that are housed, have stopped running, which makes money rather scarce; with that exception 1 hear of no complaint, and the working of the ledges seems to go along as though nothing had happened. Cartee, Gates & Co.'s mill run through one hundred and forty-four tons of rock from the Ada Elmore, and had ayield of sixty-five dollars to the ton. You may consider that very poor over in Idaho city, since the Gambrinus mill started, but you must recollect that this rock has been picked and culled and the best of it ground in an t „ " " . « 6 arastra. Messrs. Cartee & Co. are desirous of taking another contract, if the trustees see fit to give it to them. The Idaho Company's mill start to crushing in a very few days. They have considerable rock already out and plenty more in their ledge. They still keep up their quarrel with the Emmett Company, contending that that company is on their ledge. It is a very fine one, and looks better as it is developed. Tbe Comstock is being worked, and bids fair to be as extensive as any of the Washoe or Mexico mines. The Confederate Star ledge is looking as The Confederate Star ledge is looking as well as when you were here. Our tunnel is now 322 feet in the hill, and on the ledge all the way it is about 200 feet in depth. I think we have about 500 tons of rock in the bin, which will average from $75 to $100 per ton. The last eleven tons of it that I ground pans me $910 in the arastra. I do not be lieve the arastra will keep up the expenses of the ledge much longer, for we are working twelve men now ( and the water will freeze in the ditch ere long. J* N. P. P. S. Whisky and provisions of every de scription are plenty, but the former prevails. J. N. P. Thè W. W. Statesman says the snow-storms on the Blue mountains, have caused the wild gaine to come down into tbe valleys. Large cambers of black-tailed deer are among tbe number. .U^Advertisements. to insure insertion, must be hand ed in as early as Thnrsday, and the number of insertions desired should be noted on the margin.
