Out l:i tlie pitiless nhrlit Loud winds are hurrying by ; Not a star-pleain pteroed through the leaden Jolil Of a stormy, moonless sky ; ' !iroal sltuet.ii of rain hwept o'er the plain. And win of their midst a cry. Out In Hie plillona nljrlit A tender plrllsli lorm Not a Kluiwl to pillow her aching head, Or ht-lter her from the storm ! Her role she takes The while she makes Her new-lxrn Infant warm. Ont In the pitiless nhrht They found her all alone ; N ot a cheUcr for her nor a gleam of hope. Though her heart makes endless moan : And her suffering face, In that lonclv place, Would soften a heart of stone. Out In the pitiless nlttht While he who wrought her shame Mav walk In the glorious ll-,dit of ilay With a fair ami honored name. And never a hand In all the land lie raised to blot his fame.

The heaviest stonn of wind and snow experienced in this vicinity since 1HC2, commenced on Saturday night, and continued until four o'clock Sun day afternoon. About nine inches of snow fell. ' Tlie lowest temperature recorded by the thermometer on Sun day and Monday was eleven degrees, i- The American bark Shooting Star, bound from San Francisco to Nanaimo, ran on Henry Island ntr twelve o'clock on Saturday night, during a blinding snow storm and a fierce gale from the northeast. Tlie bark had previously had most of her sails blown away and became unmanageable. She lies on a bank of mud, and t&pta'ui Austin has hopes of getting her oft' at high tide with the Help oi a tug. The weather to-day lias moderated very much and there are indications of rain. , Tlie Post-OIAce. Mr. Creswell's report is long and in large measure statistical, but it is in teresting. The Post-Otuee Depart ment is about as &r as ever from pay ing its own expenses; but the service has been greatly extended and im proved, and new features are to lie ln tmthiccri which will still further in crease fts convenience to tlie public. Tlie system of railway post-offlees and the distribution of mails in transit, which lias for some time been in ope ration on a few principal routes will soon lie established all along from New-Brunswick -to San Francisco, and from the Bay of Fnndy to the Gulf of Mexico. How enormous are the dis tances which our mail service lias to , cover may be judged from the fact that thce two trunk lines of rallway'ofllees alone are respectively 3,83'2 and 2,103 miles in length, while one of our for eign routes (tliat from New York to Rio) is 2,500 miles long, and another (San Francisco to China and Japan) 7,000 mile?. Mr. Creswell gives ex onllent reasons wy the Brazil and China services should be made semi monthly instead of monthly. He rec ommends the encouragement of Amer ican steamship lines by offering their projectors "a -reasonable compensation for conveying tlie mails in excess of the postage receipts." But it win ue observed tliat the postage receipts earned by all the six English and Ger man Hues which carried the mails from the United States to Great Britain in 1871 -. amounted to only $174,133 an average of about 600 a trip. X. Y. Tribune. The Boston Commonwealth tells as follows why J. Q. Adam3 wasn't re elected to the Legislature from Quincy: "Ik'in in the apotlieeary store of a faithful adherent, just before election, tlie latter, in the freedom of political friendship, suggested tliat some of the townsmen objected to the free ways of uicir uiinnuate in gunning, nsning, ya tching, &c, on Sunday. Perhaps you sliare in their objection, Doctor?' bluntly asked the young statesman, who had counted the Improbability of 'ever occupying any considerable pub lic office,' as his hitter to Mrs. Stono indicated. 'Wby. ves. 1 think I lr somewhat, said the deliberate dispen ser jot pais aim potions. ' I Ihmi tliey cm go to (a place his friends all tlieir lives had beeu trying to avoids and you with them, for all I care!' answered tlie scion of a great house The invitation was heralded abroad. but his fellow Democrats declined the disposition suggested. Tliey went to the town lull instead: and gallant .lack Adams wasn't representative any - more."

M in Loves Woomanlianw In Womni. from Appleton's Journal.l AVe hear it sometimes said tliat men I deprecate learning and genius in tle opposite sex because they are afraid of Driuinnt women, unt the men thus charcod with mental rm.silanimitv in regard to Intellectual women, are not commonly m'pposed to exhibit a simi lar dread of learned and accomplished persona ot their own sex, .-No man withholds from a club because great men belong to it. No man la afraid ot a career at the bar, in literature, or in polities, because Hstiiiguis:hed jicrsons are connected with those professions. whom it will probably be his destiny to meet and pcrliaps professionally to encounter. Men, if anything, are overconfident in all intellectual strtig trles with their fellows : self-respect, or pride, or conceit some motive eitlier worthy or unworthy prevents them from acknowledging inferiority, even if titer are conscious of it. It cannot. therefore, be that men dislike learned women because they are appreliensive ot intellectual force. People are usu ally too unconscious of ilea feat in all encounters of wit to dread it much Their very insensibility to the palpable hits and the verbal triumphs of an oownent give them no fear of the conversational arena. The dullness or the indifference of men. In this partic ular, is alone sutlicient to pi event them from disliking ability in women ; and then every man is so profoundly assured of the intellectual inferiority of the other sex. that, in the abundance of his confidence, lie has no doubt Clever men know that the most bril liant women arc always vulnerable i" argument, and stupid men talk on without ever knowing they are defcat- itl. by, then, is conspicuous ability disliked in women ? It may lie asserted by some people that we are assuming our ground, and that, it is not certain tliat men arc offended at the evidence of talent in the otlier sex. AVe think it must be conceded that they are. Not but what evei v man imagine women of genius in whom he could find delight, but whatever learned women may say or think about the matter the first, the second and the third essential quality that evev man admires in his mother or seeks for in a wife is womanliue If renius and learning can ciiIhiiu' this "supreme grace, genius and learn ing will be admired in women ; but, so long as It is delieved that intellectual force extinguishes or diminishes deli cacy, gentleness and sweetness, men Will dread its manifestation in their wives and daughters. Frivolity and intrepidity, which men are accused of liking in women, are simply accepted with forbearance wlien thev arc ac companied by those charms ot sex that make women delightful, and which compensate for so many shortcomings Judgment, taste, discretion, vivacity al? good qualities of sound minds, are excellent things lnit even these in women must be fused into a harmoni ous, mellow, unobtrusive unity. lel icacy of apprehension, quickness of perception, eapaoity ot appreciation these supreme womanly qualities of mind every man of taste delights in ; but loud argument, hoisterous asser tion, clamorous talk, these things men do most decidedly dread in women. and tliese things have too commonly marked our intellectual Amazon: Do not let our ladies lay the flattering unction to their souls that men fear their mental superiority : let them rather believe that there is gallantry enough among us yet even to delight in their victories over ourselves : but let them understand that, so long as man Inherits the nature of Adam, the primal delight -of his heart will be in fresh, fair, and gentle women, and every honest man will confess tliat he does fear in woman wliatever may tend to rob lier ot these graces. r The Shady Side of Life. When a man on the shady side of middle life lias the fortitude to look around him to note the number of his old and valued friends, he is shocked to find how meagre .is the list. One after another lias disappeared, from no otlier cause than that their physical powers, originally vigorous, liad succumbed in the feverish, and we might also say in sane, battle of life. Too lone and too diligently have tliey stuck to their pro fessional pursuits or been lascinatcd by the allurements of society, taking relaxation ouly by nts and starts, and seemingly under the impression that they liave a long career Detore them Having realized a lair competency, tliey might well ask themselves why they continue to toil, to speculate and rack their brains when a lite of com parative ease and reflection would, in all inspects be more becoming. This is exactly the question, however. which they never put. The upshot is well known. Through sundry real or imaginary entanglements, their day of safety Is msscd. A cold, toggy, drizzly November finishes tlietn, and about two o'clock on a wintry afternoon they areT in all the pomp of hearse and car riages decorously conveyed to the graveyard and buried. Skunks and Ckows. i itese am mals are not the unmitigated nuisances tliey are generally consiuereti to De, and should not be ruthlessly slaughter ed on sights. Like the vast majority of creatures they have a useful olhee to perforin. The skunk, if he be watched quietly on a moonlight evening, and not dfsturlied, may be seen busy in the garden and corn-field hunting grubs. beetles and mice, and will iklss within a yard of one's teet without giving any notice of his presence. I? hesuck eggs it is our fault and his good luck that they are permitted to lie within his reach : and if he take up his quar ters lieneath the barn floor, it shows his wisdom, as well as the folly ot the man who permits his barn to be oixm underneath for his entrant. The ' droppings of the skunk ' will prove abundantly of what his tood consists and it is a libel on him to say tliat he will pick up chickens if they are in their proper places. -Moreover, he will not climb a fence ; and it the yards are properly protected (as they should be) with boards or pickets tliere will lie no danger of suddenly disturbing him after dark too close to the house. The crow, also, will lie found to have many good points in his character, and not to be so black as he looks if he is studied. It really begins to seem a though tliere was no end to the wealth of our Pacific coast, says the New York Evening Post : California is noted for its gold and silver mines; its fiuit is gigantic luscious and perennial; the silkworm weaves ltd costly web on the leaves of thousands of its mulberry trees ; cotton lias tound a home unoii Its soil ; almost everything counted a valuable and belonging to the mineral kingdom is found among its moun tains anu now a "nne vein oi carrara marble" recently discovered sends it citizens into ecstatic transports. "Art flourished under Grecian and Italian skies, and the same reasons exist for its cultivation here. The Carrara marble to carry on one branch of the fine arts is said to be within our reach, " shouts an enthusiast. The locality where this new source ot wealth is said to be found is somewhat vaguely described as being 'near the south end of Pyramid Lake, on the Indian Res ervation there, and about twenty-two miles from the railroad." Permission has already been obtained to opeu tlie quarry by an enterprising gentleman of Sacramento and ere long California marble will be brought before the eyes ol an anxious anu expectant public.

The al- lejo .vr,-.nfr, of the 10th lust., tells how a Yallejo lady tried to cure her husband of sleep-walking. This is the lltofhtrs story : About one o'clock yesterday morn ing, as wc were wending our way homeward, we were suddenly startled by the report of a gun. We rushed into the house from which the sound proceeded and found matters thus : A certain husband living in that neigh borhood lias a habit of walking in his sleep, and his wife got so very tired of having him frisk around the bouse dining the silent watches of the night, that at last she determined to tie him fast after he got to sleep. She alllxed a string to his ankle, and tied the other end fast-to what liapiieiied to lie tlie most bandy, which was her husband's double-barreled gimlichind the door in the corner of the room. About one o'clock the somnambulist arose for the put pose of taking a ramble around the rooms. When he had taken about six steps the artillery came out of its se clusion i;i the corner with a jerk, and both barrels went o!V. the load enisli ing through the pannels of the door. It soon brought lioth parties to con-sciou-uess. ai,d they begged for God's sake not to mention their names. Yes terday he was busy putting a new pan nel iii the door, which is far lietter than digging a load of buckshot, out of the babv. The Acci.iMATiziMi Society.

The law looks to the protection of native and imported game from wholesale destruc tion by heartless pot-liiuiters. The present game law is so worded that no protection isnttordod to the game and fish during spawning season, ami many persons arc quick to take advantage of Ibis fact.

Luring Interesting Facts. t From the BosfBn Advertiser. The follow ing is an extract from a private, letter just received in Cain bridge from a memlier ot Lieutenant Wheeler's party, dated Camp Whip !, near rrescott, Novemlier 7th. It gives some new and, we believe, trustworthy particulars of (he murder of Fred W. Loring and his compan ions : Loring, llammill and Salmon, of Lieutenant Wheeler's party, were on the stage to go home. Beside these, the pas-eiigers were one Kruger, a German; one Adams, a jeweler oi Preseolt, and "Moll Sheinird"' a dis reputable character. The stage was an open box-wagon, topped with can vass, with sides lolet. down ; kick be ing generally down is somewhat pro tected from sight at least, while the front is ojien to full view. An escort went with them, as" is nuial. through the dangerous country, j. ?. as far as IVickenburg. Six miles licvbnd this place they were suddenly fired into. 1 don't know how much damage was then done except that the driver's arm was broken. Still he drove on some distance, till shot through the head, when the unguided horses turned toward home, and got into danger Kruger and "Moll"' were on the back scat, not easily seen, and escaped with wounds. Both emptied their pistols and manged to jump out liefoiv the horses turned back, ami ran o:i ahead. In a mile or two they met the "bucklKvird" going the other way The driver took them on, and, fear ful of lieing followed, turned hack. Finally he left .them and the mail in Ihe bii-hcs, took a horse, and by a I mil reached the culture Mill, near Wickeiiburg. got assistance and re turned to the scene of tlie murder. Two of the victims were found to lie shot through the eye. two in the fore head, and one in the hack of the head An old man with a black lieard, who had fought hard, was missing, and may have escaped. i'lus man mil: have been liumtiiill. Heavy rifle catridges were found, and their use was probable from the number of shots fired there being (went v shots through the stage. Tht mail had lieen oiiened. and such let ters as contained money examined. and the baggage searched tor money. No horses.' nor harness, nor guns, nor bright blankets, nor any such things as Indians covet, were taken. Then j is no doubt about it ; thev were not Indians, nor Mexicans, as "the -hooting j was too good ; while men did it I "road agents," as they are h euicaily i termed here.

In the Summer of 1-71 a weary traveler might have been seen riding through the verdurous lanes of Owens' Vil!ey, t 'alifornia. This scenery about him was uniues- j tionably high-toned in the extreme. To the light the Sierra Nevada, wiih its snow-capped peaks and purple sides stretched "it s slow length along j like a needless Alexandrine. To the left, willows were mimi lining the f r- j tile meadows; and the musical ripple i of innumerable mountain streams, en-j gagid iu irrigating jiista hard as they i could, was heard. j The traveler could not be rilled j hand-ome. Hiseomiilexio:i was black i and tan; his hair, short and spiky, was admirably calculated to defy the attempts of any Indians to secure hi-sc.-tip, while his lH-.ird flowed in irreg ular hut luxuriant masses over his chin and neck. Injustice, however, to the writer, .it should 1m- remarked that his attire was not calculated to enhance I any personal attractions which he I miglit otherwise have been indited j with.

"Once in a while," said Mrs. Bax ter. "Mr. Baxter, then, I suppose, does not take one ?" " No, sir," said Mrs. Baxter; "but he borrys one sometimes."

"Certainly not'" slid the inquisi tive person, t "II jw much do vou want ?" "Well, atmilt four bits Would be right," said Mrs. Baxter." "Give me a glass of milk." said the stranger, "and answer some questions and you shall have four bits." "Go ahead," said Mrs. Baxter, con cisely. "Tell me," said tlie inquisitive er son, "how . came you to marry Mr. Baxter?" "Well," said Mrs. Baxter, "women is scarce round here, and Baxter want ell some help, and be won't have no Chinese round bossing things whei' he's away. Me and nuns lioth down on them follows.

"She ain't a bit jiarticiilar, she ain't." "And it's a delicate question but are you in love with Mr. Baxter?" asked the ri-ing journalist. "I guess so," said Mrs. Baxter. "He treats me pretty welland lets me go for (hem Chinese that he em ploys; and (hat's bully good fun, I tell you. But I reckon I'll get di vorced iH'fore long.

According lo the newsapers, I'n-s'i-dent Porter, of Yale College, the otlier day, gave Ills students a deal of good advice. Of course, it is uimdWs,yrv to fay what a considerable portion of it was, because all young men lire always exhorted to" Ik; self reliant, faithful, honest and industrious, and to show energy and invincible deter-, initiation. But. Iir. Porter went into several particulars. -"Don't drink,"' he said, "and don't chew" tolmeco, we presume he meant, and not honest food. "Don't swear," he added, "and don't deceive ; don't read novels ; don't marry until you can support a w ife." So much tor the Doctor's negative ad vice. "Be in earnest," he went on to say, "and Iks self reliant." ( rood ! "Be generous and lie civil.'' Better ! Read tlie papers and advertise your business." Best!

Ihe .New lork Ifruhl suggests as one plank in the platform of the Democracy, the an nexation of Mexico, which, of course. means war, and, right or wrong, war is always iopnlar with the rag-tag element ot the country.
