But give me that philosophy That's happy with a straw. If life but brings us happiness, It brings us, we are told, What's hard to buy, though rich ones try, "With all their heaps of gold ! Then laugh away let others say What e'er they will of mirth ; Who laughs the most may trulysay He has the wealth of earth. . 4 There s beautv in a merrv lauj A moral beauty, too It shows tsc heart au honest heart, That 's paid each man his due ; And lent a share of what's to spare,' Despite of wisdom's ffcirs. And made the cheekless sorrow speak ' The eye weep fewer tear3. The sun may shroud itself in cloud, The tempest wrath begin ; It flnd3 a spark to cheer the dark, Its sunlight is within ; Then laugh away, let others say Whate'er they will of mirth ; Who laughs the most may truly boast He ha? the wealth of earth. nEPl'liLUA.V PLATPOR?I ADOPTED BY TUii XATIOXAL TXIOX CONVENTION AT CHICAGO. Resolved. 1st. That we congratulate the country on the assured success of the Re construction Policy of Congress as evi denced by the adoption in. ti majority of States late'' in rebellion, of Constitutions securing criual. civil and political rights to. all, and we regard it, ;is the duty of the government to sustain these Constitutions, and prevent the peonle of such States from being remitted to a state of anarchy j or military rule. 2d.

I ! 7th. The Uovennnent of the United : i Slates should be administered with the j strictest economy. The corruptions which ; have beer, so shamefully nursed and fos tered by Andrew Johnson, call loudly for radical reform. Mh. We profoundly deplore the un I timely and tragic death of Abraham Ein- coin, and regret the succession oj Andrew j Johnson to the Presidential chair, who has acted treacherously to the people who ! elected him and the cause he was pledged j to support, who has usurped high legishi I tive and judicial functions, has refused to to induce other officers to violate the laws, j I lias employed his Executive power to reu- j I der ins. 'euro the lives, property, peace and j r.oerty of citizens, has 'abused 'the pardon- j mg jiowei , tiiis uenounceti ino iNaiionai i Legislature as unconstitutional, has per- j s s'Klcntb' at,d habiina'ly resisted by every j i means in ins power, every aiiempi ai iue i reconstruction of the States lately in rebel- lion, has perverted publi'. patronage info j j an engine for wholesale eorruption, has j : justly been impeached for high crimes and j j misdemeanors, and lias been pronounced J : guilty thereof by the votes of 25 Senators, i ! tUh. The doctrine of Great Britian and j j other European powers that, because a 1 man is once a subject he is always so, ! must be resisted at every hazard by the j ' United States r,s a relic of feudal times not ! authorized by the law of nations and at I j war with our national honor and ir.de- i I pondence. Naturalized citizens are en- ! i titled to be protected in all their rights of j ; citizenship as though they were native j j born. No citizen of the Uniled States or j I naturalized must be liable to arrest or im- i prisonmeni by any foreign power for acts I done or words spoken in this country and j j if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the j i In t v ot tneu-ovcrument to mteriere. in his j behalf. j Kith. Of all who were faithful in the i trials of the late war. there were none more faithful lor special honor than brave soldiers and seamen who endured hard ships of camp and cruize and imperiled their lives in the service ol their country. The bounties and pensions appropriated by law for these brave defenders of the Union, are obligations never to be forgot ten. The widows and orphans of ihe gal h'.pt dead are wards of the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the United Slates for protecting care. lltli. Foreign immigration in the past has added so much to the wealth and in creased resources of this nation, the asylum I of all nations, that it should be fostered by ! a liberal and pist policy. 12,h.

That the adjournment of this I Convention shail not work dissolution of j the same, but it shall remain as organized. ! subject to be called together at any time ; or place that the Republican Executive 1 Committee shall d"Hgnate. I Jle.tofeed. We highly commend in a I spirit of magnanimity and forgiveness the ! men who h-ave served the rebellion and j who are now frankly and honestly co-ope-I ratin"r with us in restoring peace to the I country and in- the reconstruction of 1 Southern States on the basis of impartial justice and equal rights, and are received ' back into the communion of loyal people. ! and that we are in favor of the removal of ' the disqualifications or restrictions imposed : on the late rebels in the same measure as ! the spirit of disloyalty disappears, as may i be consistent with the safety of loyal peu- i pie. , 1 lieeofved. That, we recognize the great i principles laid down in the Declaration of i Independence, as the true foundation of ' Democratic government, and we hail with j gladness every effort towards making these j principles the living reality on every inch ! of American soil. Ktw Cabinet Editions of the Works of Washington Irving. In announcing several new editions, in a style of improved elegance and conve nience, of the Works of Washington Irving, the publishers would take the opportunity of acknowledging the good reception which Lis efforts in the presentation of these favorite writings have heretofore re ceived. In the several forms in which the various productions of the author of the "Sketch-Book" have been given to the public, it is estimated that the sale has reached no less than fifty thousand Of the series, or more than a million volumes. Nor is the demand yet abated. On the contrary, new exertions of enterprise are required to meet the desires of a new gen eration of readers, and keep pace with the progress of taste and refinement in the typographic and other mechanic arts of the publisher's calling. ' "The rrjot:7e of this perennial popularity is not far to seek. It U to be read on every page of the delightful volumes in which "Geoffrey Crayon'' infused the happy inspiration of his genius in his de votion to themes which will always be re garded by successive generations of rea ders with no ordinary emotions of interest. The charm of the felicitous stjde of Wash ington Irving, the reflection of the amiable poetic spirit of the truly refined gentle man, would be felt on any topic on which the author had been pleased to bestow it. But it is for the ever-enduring fame of Irving that he close for the exercise of his pen, topics of undying value and import ance. In his inviting Essays on human life and character in portraying manners, as in the "Sketch-Book,' " Bracebridge Hall,' and other volumes, ho has touched, with mingled sentiment and humor, those emotions which are implanted ill the hearts of all; while his topics of biography, of history and romance, are of such world wide celebrity and passionate interest as the story of Columbus and his followers, with their discoveries of the New World ; the life of the founder of the nation. Gkoxoi: Wasihxotox, drawing with it the narrative of the Civil and Military events of America during his remarkable career : the marvelous record of Mahomet, whh the illustrations of the genius of his race in the romantic fact and legend of The Tales of the Alhambra'' and the " Con quest of Granada ;" the felicity with which the author has linked his name with the birthplace of Shakespeare, the genius of Oliver Goldsmith, the fame of Scott and Byron, and, not least, the humorous in vention which, i ii Knickerbocker's irie sistible Chronicle of New York, has im puted a mythic interest to the bare early annals of his native city. It is that the writings of Washington Irving n.ay be claimed to be imperishable, till, what is not likely soon to happen, the same ever welcome themes are treated in some hap pier manner. The charm of Irving is his acceptability to all. a grace and refine ment to please the most fastidious ; and his peculiar merit is readily appreciated by every reader: his good sense and hu mor, the air of enjoyment pervading his pages, lias secured his works a home in both hemispheres, wherever the English language is understood. Of the few in dispensable authors in every American library. Washington Irving is certainly among the foremost. The delight of child hood, the ehivalric companion of relined womanhood, the solace of life at every period, his writings are an imperishable legacy of grace and beauty to his coun trymen. The new publications of these works will be in several forms of unusual ele gance, and all, in proportion to a moderate price for each, combining good tasle with economy. The series will be issued in the following order punctually on the first day of each month until completed, beginning last October: Bracebridge Hall; Astoria; Wolferfs Boost: Bonneville; Sketch-Book; Mahomet, 2 vols; Traveler; Granada; Knickerbocker; Salmagundi ; Crayon Mis cellany ; Spanish Papers : Goldsmith: Miscellanies; Alhambra: Washington. 5 vols ; Columbus, '6 vols ; Life and Letters, i Vols; . ; T1IP.EE EDITIONS WILL BE iSiUED.

THE CESTIIAL PACIFIC. YVe are sometimes asked where our experience in railroading was ac quired ? Our " experience" in that ! branch ol business comes only from j the associations of men who are ex- i perienct-d ; from observation, etc. The energy displayed by the builders of the Central Pacific Ti. R. has al- ways been by us admired not alto- ' gether from the fact of our early ac quaintance with the Superintendent, Mr. Charles Crocker, his brothers, and several of his associates, to whom we have been known for twenty years, but more from the fact that we deemed their's an example worth)' of emulation. The following concern ing the Central Paci lie wasaddresbed to the S. F. Bulletin: FP.OM CISCO TO THE ST7JfJflT. More snow. The air grows keener and the wind has a sharper sting. Gangs of men are at wofk along the track, " ballasting," cutting timber, etc. Thirteen and one quarter miles from Cisco, we enter the great tunnel which pierces the summit of the Truckee Pass a work which formed a fitting crown to ore of the greatest achievements in practical science of the sige. ' It is l,rJ59 feet long, 19 feet high ar.d 10 feet wide. It is cut through solid granite rock and had the company been compelled to rely on the ordinary blasting agencies, it is doubtful if it would have been completed by this time ; but by means of nitro-glycerine the work was greatly facilitated, and the time consumed in cuttii.g was, compara tively short. Persons resiJing in the neighborhood describe the blasts as something terrific. THE SUMMIT. We at last reach the summit, 101 miles from Sicrarnento and 7,043 feet above the level of the sea. We need hardly add that this is the high est altitude ever attained in railroad construction. Figures are often poor symbols to illustrate ideas ; the mag i.iuu'e of the work and the brilliant results achieved will be better under stood, when we state th3t the eleva tion attained on the summit is great er that railway trains actually pass at a point of greater altitude than any of the passes of the Alps with the exception of that of St. Bernard. The height of the Mount Cenis Pass is 0,173 ; that of St. Gothard, 0,890; that ol the Simplon, 0,573 ; that of St. Bernard, 7,003. As regards the difficulties to be overcome, those on the Central Pacific are without par iillel, so far as wc know. The most brilliant triumph of railroad engineers ing in Europe is the road constructed over the Stmmering Alp, between Yienna and Gratz, Austria. The ascent corn menced at Gloggnitz, 1,378 feet above the level of the sea, and ihe highest elevation attained is only 2,S03 feet above the sea level. The entire distance of mountain grade is only 25 miles, and the siow is never troublesome even in mid-winter. The Central passes over 80 miles of moun tain and reaches over twice the al titude. . r .' . THE SNOW PROBLEM -ENOW SHEDS. There is no doubt that ihe prob lem of the deep snows of winter is an ugly one, and requires for its success ful solution the utmost energy, pluck and skill of the Company. Last win tef was one of almost unprecedented severity, and the detentions Wfre doubtless more frequent, and perplex ing than usual ; but that snow falls to very great depths and forms enor.. tnous drifts drifts that no engine, that hardly the snow plow can cut through cannot be denied. The Company, accepting the fuCt, have set to woik to overcome the difficulty, and are perfectly confident that they will be able to succeed. They have hit upon n system of sheds which they are tiecting over the cuttings and other exposed points. They consist of heavy timber frameworks, with pointed gable roofs, covering the en fire track. These sheds are much stronger than ordinary frame dwell ings, and look as if they could with stand almost any pressure of ' snow. Nearly 40 miles cf the track will re quire to be thus covered, including an amount of labor and expense that would be disheartening were it not that much greater difficulties have been overcome. The quantity of lumber required for this system of sheds wi!L be enormous. "Not less than 22 sawmill?, J most of them worked by steam, arc run night and dav on the other side of the summit employing, we should suppose, in all. nearly 2,000 men and yet they do not woik up to the needs of ihe Com pany. In a few weeks 29 mills will be running- It is cetimattd that it will require not less than 800,000 feet of lumber to construct a mile of sheds. So great is the demand, that the country on both sides of the track is being rapidly dennded of its forests. CtflXAMEK AS RAILROAD BtTlLDERS. John Chinaman is ubiquitous. You see him every where on every mile on almost every foot of road from Alta to Reno. His bizarre figure greets you at every station, at the month of every tunnel, on the side of every causeway and catting, in the most perilous places where the snow is deepest and the avalanche thickest you see him high op on the mountain tops chopping wood, and you see him' down in the deep guU leys plying his shovel or pick ; you see him at his task in the gray or the early dawn and the gloom of the eve ning twilight. There is not a Iaiy bone in his body, and he is not too fastidions to do the shabbiest kind of work provided he is paid for it. He works hard and oats but little ; does his own cooking, washes and mends his own clothes, lie is handy, pa tient, persistent, faithful to his em ployers, and seldom refuses to do what he is told. lie has developed such aptitude for certain kinds of woik ; has made himself so essential an item in the great work of building the road over the mountains ; and has been withal so true, steadfast and inoffentive, that all, even the common day laborers, speak well of, and we believe, generally treat him kindly. If John is not very largely stocked with ideas, he has the imitative in stinct largely developed.' As a tunv nel cutter he was especially invalu able. Daring the progress of the great Summit Tunuel there was a strike m some of the Xevuda mines and number of Cornishmen came up to work for the Company. But it was found that the Chinamen could do considerably more work and stand the fatigue and foul air of under ground work much better. The Ccr- nishnien tried it awhile, but concluded to leave the work of boring through granite mountains to the more adapt able Celestial, and went away in disgust. THIS GREAT RACE OUR STJtE IN IT. The great race between the rival companies approaches its climax. For the next three months no less than six miles of track a day will be laid. The distance between the two termini grows rapidly less and by another twelve month the band of iron that belts a continent and makes us masters of the trade of the Orient will be completed. The stake of Cal ifornii the stake of San Francisco, i particularly in the struggle between the two lines can hardly be over esti- i mated. j Betvveeh Sacramento and Reno are j fifteeu tunnels, with ah aggregate length of 0,202 feet. Th?y are all j cut through the rock, and justly rank among the greatest achievements of railroad engineering. We have al ready spoken of the great tunnel at the summit 5 those at Coldstream and Pollard's Hill are hardly inferi or as monuments of patient labor and successful t-kill. At the latter the work of blasting was especially ex. tensive. The heavier blasts threw immense masses of rock into the ed-. dy below, and made a residence iii the vicinity anything but agreeable. A story is told and vouched for by Mr Grant, proprietor of the Donner Lake House that one rock landed near the lake with such violence that its bottom was buried 18 feet below the surface of the earth. It is stated that the aggregate cost of construct ing this series of tunnels was 1,750, 000. PUSHING EASTWARD. The great work is being rapidly pushed eastward. The next few months will witness results that we venture to predict will astonish even the most sanguine. The track was I completed on Saturday night to Wadsworth, 33 miles beyond Reno, and in a short time another section of fifty or sixty miles will be formal ly opened. EDITORIAL REMARKS. When the above , work had been pushed through to Rendi the Sacra mento Union said there was n novelty in tha event which must for the mo ment excite general cariosity ,; but farther than that," said the : Union, j " the fact is of no importance " We I supposed, by reading the Union's at 1 tide, that its editors, like many Ore- gonians of the present day, were scar upon this matter of railroads, and we felt only like passing the reflection, by in silence. .The Union probably, ex pects that the Company should throw the road open to the pnblic as soon j as completed, and run it freely for j the bencGt of the people at their own individual expense. Can it be pos slble that the Sacramento Union be lieves that there is no importance be yond the novelty, to be attached , to the completion of a section of "the trans-continental railroad? If bo, the Union should be transplanted to the Ft jee Islands it is not a fit jour nal to represent the intelligence ODd enterprise of Californians. PRINTERS' DEVILS. A great many persons are in the habit of looking upon and speaking of printers devils in a manner that reflects no credit on themselves. Those same printers' devils, irPnine cases oat of ten, are three times 1m well posted on the issues of the day as the person who slights and speaks lightly of them. There is no clag of boys for whom we have a more pro found respect than well-behaved prin ters' devils. They know something and are practical, which is more than you can say of all classes of boys. Ino that respect we place the boys who work in a printing office head and shoulders above most boys. Young woman, before you again eleyaPe that delicate nose at tho approach of a printer's devil, gt some one who knows something of history to tell you the names of a few characters who were once printers' devils. For fear that you will dislike to show your ignorance, we will give you a short list of ex-devils of printing of fices. If jou have heard of any of them, quit your flirting and all non sense in general, and go to studying. Did yon ever hear of Benjamin Frank lin 1 Ben was orce a printer's devil, lie was also one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Han nibal Hamlin, Vice-President under Lincoln, was once a poor printer' devil. Schuyler Colfax, who ha been Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives for a number of years, now candidate for Vice President of the tJ. S., and certain to be elected, was " nothing but a devil in a print ing cfnce?' nt one time. Horace Greeley, who is one of the first jour nalists on this continent, and is an ex Congressman, was a printer's devil. United States Senator Simon Cam eron, cf Pennsylvania, was a 'devil.' Thurlow Weed, one of the wealthiest artd most influential men in New York; and editor of the Commercial Advertiser, was a penniless devil in a printing Oilice. United States Senal tor Ross, of Kansas, comraencedyits successful career as a printer's devil. Two-thirds of the editors in the " States" were onco printers' devils. Permit us to tell yon that the men Who once did duty as printers, have done more to advance the interests and sustain the good natae of America than any other class. . -. , Kerosexe Lamp ExPLOsioj.-s.The following valuable hints are from na article in the Boston' Journal of Chemistry: A lamp may be Glled with bad kerosene, or with the vapor evenj and in no possible wav can it detonate, or explode, unless atmos pheric air has some how got mixed with the vapor. A lamp, therefore; full or nearly full of the liquid is safe; Q and also one full of pure Warm vapor is Safe. Explosions generally occur when the lamp is first lighted, with out being filled, and late in the eve ning;, when the fluid is nearly ex hausted. The reason of this will readily be seen. In using imperfect or adulterated kerosene the space above the line of oil is always filled with vapor ; and so long as it is warm, and rising freely, no air can reach it, and it is safe. At bedtimei when the family retire, the light is extinguished - the lamp cools, a por tion of the vapor is condensed; this creates a partial vacuum in the space, which is instantly filled with air. The mixture is now more or less explo sive and when, upon the next eve ning, the limp is lighted without re plenishing with oil, as is often done, ah explosion is liable to lake place. Late in the evening when the oil is nearly consumed.and the space above filled with vapor, the lamp cannot ex plode so long as it remains at rest upon the table. Rat take it ino hand, agitate it, carry it into a cool room, the vapor, is cooled, aif passes in, and the Vapor becomes ex plosive. A case of lamp explosion came to the writer's knowledge a few years 6ince, which was occasioned by takins a lamp from the table to I answer a ring of the door bell. The eool outside air which' impinged up, on the lamp in the hands of the lady, j rapidly condensed the vapor, air passed in, cxpiumuu viiuuiu, wniga : Tesat'.eo wjiit.
