BY P. B. SHILLAU15H.
Another stroke on tbe bell of time,
Another oycle of human life,
Another step from tbe summer prime,
.. Anrjther lease of care and strife. .
My glass reveals the ?elf-eatue face—
The eyes with their accustomed ray ;
Yet hi them I the hint can trace :
My boy, you're lorty-nine to-day.
Tbe self-same face, but still I see
Tbe havoo theron time has made ;
Mioe own bave uo immunity
From change tbat other cheeks Invades.
Tbe Barae deep wriukless on tbe brow,
Tbe same commingling with the gray.
Speak that I cannot disavow ;
My boy, you're forty-nine to-day,
I read tho record time bas traced,
Whether of folly or of wit,
Too deep to ever be erased,
For wbat thereon writ is writ;
It needs no cunning tongue to tell
The Btory that its lines portray ;
I know the tale it bears too well;
My boy, you're forty-nine to-day.
And few but I may read the lines—
The inner meaning they impart:
Each word in burning tracery shines,
I've learned it long ago by heart.
A screed of mingled good aud ill.
A log-book kept on life's rough way,
Tbat other years aud acts must fill;
My boy, you're lorty-uine to-day.
Ob. early years I where have ye flown ?
Where fled the buoyancy of youth ?
Alas, I though we lime's touch disown,
Our mirror tells us all the truth.
'Twete well to own tbe serious lact,
Admit tbe steps of mild decay,
And witb a riper wisdom act;
My boy, you're foity-uine to-day.
But not in grief I bid farewell
To years lbat iu the past are lain ;
No moment does my heart rebel
That joy may not return again.
With cbeertul trust I'll bide my fate,
And culture calm content away ;
Exempt from dralt, I'll patient wait;
My boy, you're forty-nine to-day.
estate   Library.
The foundation of theLibrary may be dated at
the time when the Law Library of W. B. Olds was
purchased by act of the Legislature of 1855. Tbe
sum of $17,250 was appriated to pay for the purchase ; but an Act to establish a State Library was
pasBtd as early' as 1850, but no fund Was provided
for its Bupport until 1852, when an act was passed
that each officer commissioned by the Governor
should pay $5 into the Library Fund. In 1853 an
Act was passed that all fees collected by the Se-
ctatary of State should be paid iuto the Library
Fund. In'that way tbe luud was steadily increased uutil tbe commencement of tbe present year,
when ttie rage for ''wild cat" mining operations
engrossed the attentiou ul our speculative citizens;
and it it bas been ol no other benefit to the State
it has increased tbe Library Fund so that now the
sum paid iu quarterly is far greater than ever before. The receipts during the year has beeu over
$20,000. By tho Act of 1852, the Governor,
Treasurer, Controller, President of the Senate aud
Speaker ol the Asssembly were constitued the Directors, and the Secretary of State the Librarian,
ex-ofncio and tbe Library was taken charge of by
a clerk of tbe Secretary of State.- By au Act of
1861, the Governor, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and three persons to be elected by
the Legislature, were constituted a Board of Trustees ofthe Library ; the Board to elect the Librarian for tbe term of lour years. A catalogue of
tbe books in the Library was printed in 1852, one
in 1857, and one iu 1860, the last being much
more complete than either of the others, tbose of
1855 and 1857 being pamphlets containing no description of the books but Bimply an index. Uuder
}be old system, from 1852 to 1861, a period ol
nine years, all the bookB collected, not including
the extra and larger numbers of the California
statues and journals, was only about ten thousand
and this number embrasec tbo purehase made of
Olds' wbio£ was paid for out of the general fund.
Under the present eystam, from 1861, a period ot
three years, tbe increse has been about seven thousand. The Library uow contains over seventeen
thoueaud volumes, not including duplicates. In
the last year over four tbousund books have been
added, the bookm so purchased are of tbe most rare
and valuable kind, consisting ol English Law Reports, works upon American and foreign history,
voyages and travels, science, art, poetry, and general literature. Tbe Law Library contains over
seven thousand volumes, comprising the most valuable trealiBes. A11 the Auk rican reports and the
English repoets from the year. Books down to and
includingb11 published the present year (1863.)
TheMiscellaneous Library of about ten thousand volumes, contains all the valuable Encyclopaedias, dic-
tionariesof European and Asitio languages, tbe
Englis hlrish and Scotch Reviews and Magazines ;
the early newspapers of California, well.bound; all
tbe standard works upon ancient and modren history
of voyages and travels, biographies, and many elegantly illustrated works. Should the Library
continue to increase - as it has for the last three
years, we will have a State Library second to no
other in the Union.—Call.
Thb Next Presidency.—Twelve months from
yesterday (8th) the people ol this country should
be privileged to select a President and Vice-President for the ensuing four years. We say privileged, because we have great reason to apprehend that under the existing regime political privileges will be refused to all but the favored few
who bask in the sunshine of official favor. Jfe ere
of tha number of those who regard it as very
questionable whether the usual form of an election,
as prescribed by the Constitution, will take place,'
but that, as likely as anything else, tome new and
unauthorized mode of conferring power will be
inaugurated, We, however, hope that all our apprehensions are illusory, and we shalt be enabled
to elevate to those * comanding positions, by the
I unbiassed, untrammelled, and free expression of
\ public will,   men of tho  highest oider of states

The Monday before election, says theN. Y. Day
Book, was litterally "Blue Monday" in New York,
for the streets were blue with the throngs of soldiers sent hither to vote the Republican ticket.
That was the condition on which they were fur-
loUghed to come home. To make its action appear
less reprehensible in sending away trotn the army
at this time so many soldiers, they were called
"invalids;" but we saw not a single invalid among
all the parts of regiments which crowded our
streets a day or two before election. The ballot-
box in this State was taken by an army of at least
30,000 soldiers in tbe pay of the General Government. Not quite all voted the abolition ticket",
bnt tbey all promised to vote it, or tbey would
not have been pronounced invalids, nor would
they have been permitted to come home. Wbat a
profanation of that sacred franchise, which is thus
described by the poet:
"There is a weapon firmer sol,
And surer than the bayonet;
A weapon that comes down as still,
As snow flekes fall upon tbe sod,
And executes the freeman's will.
As lightning does the will of God."
But Old Abe's soldiers are made to execute his
will, which they must promise to do, or tbey  are
not allowed to vote at all.
It is a terrible thought to remember tbat nothing
oan be forgotten. I havo somewhere read that no-
oath is uttered that does not continue to vibrate
through all time, in the wide-sprading current of
sound—not a prayer lisped tbat itsreeord is not to
be found straped on the laws of nature by the in-
delliWe Beal ofthe Alnlighty will—Cooper.
There is no singular number to the word alms,
as if to teach us tbat a solitary act of cnarity bard
ly deserves the name. Our bounties, to be available, must be ia the plural number.
Our Finances.
History Is said to be philosophy, teaching by
example. Our financiers seem to disregard all
lessons, whether inoulcated by experianoe or ratio'
ciaation. Theassignafs of France and the oonti-.
nental issues of our revolutionary fathers—event
the disastrous depreciation of "greenbacks" at
the present moment—fail to impress on the mind
of our "Minister of Finance" the expediency, nay*
tbe necessity, of reverting to a resumption of specie payments. Some of h,is organs have lately
boasted that be can do so at any moment I If thia
be true, it ie to be hoped, for the good of the people at large, and especially for the benefit of tbe
mechanic and laborer, that a change in. the aspect
of the planets will relieve him from the lunacy of
his financial hallucinations, and that, restored to
the guidance of unclouded judgment, he will do
tbat which is in bis power, and relive as from the
oppression of a paper currency. The enormous
taxation imposed by the prosecution of the present, war, weighs heavily enough upon the labor of
the country without the additional drain of a depreciated currency. Our Constitutional currency
as Daniel Webster said, is the best In the world—'
tbe currency of gold and silver. Let us hare It-
again, instead of the John Law representatives,
wbicb, uuder the contemplated expansion, will
soon become worthless. If Mr. Chase'can bring us
back to specie payments, let bim do it.
Now our National debt is increasing at the rata
of two millions of dollars per day io paper depreciated more than fifty per cent., and these "promises to pay" are to be hereafter redeemed in gold
or silver. Every article now purchased by the
Government must be paid for in lutnrity in specie at the rates now demanded. Would it not be
wisdom to pay now In specie rates, and save the
difference ? When we calculate the frauds to
which it is subjected by the combinations of contractors and the dishonesty of agents, we hope It
will not become a participant by the issue of more
■prTntbd money.
The mass of the people understand bow they
are taxed by the financial blunders of Mr. Chase,
and will hardly favor his aspiration for the Presidency, unless he manifests repentance by reformation of conduct. Let us have the constitutional
ourrency I
The following extract from the New York .Vetc*
which came under our notice just as we had finished the preceeding remaks, furnishes a happy
illustration of tbe position we had assumed and
attempted to argue:
"Mr. Secretary Chase's pretense of the issue of
greenbacks is to save interest. Now, there is no
man in this community but does not know how
much all prices are higher in greenbacks than
they are in gold, and wbo can, therefore calculate.
what incredible sums Mr. Cbase is paying for capital. A single item. He bas bought in this market since November 1st, 1862, the following articles :

There is a loss of $1,177,400, on meat rations
bought in New York alone. Had the money beeu
borrowed at 20 per cent., tbe interest would havo
been $574,000. or less than half the actual loss."

Who Should Piuy.—First of all, let Araham
Lincoln pniy that his "marble heart" may be softened ; that the bitter curse inflicted by wicked rulers Clay be removed; tbat the "voioeof
Raohel for her children crying" may no longer
disturbed the startled air ; tbat bloody war may
ceaBe, and that the angel of peace may once more
spread its white wings over a sorrowing lima
bending beneath the heavy blow of national afflio
tions I Let those around and near him pray—■
pray that their counsels may be free from partisans
venom and malignant spite ; that their actions
may be governed by an honeBt zeal for the welfare
of tbeir prostrate country; that all fraud and corruption may be banished from tbeir midst and that
thty may be spared the (earful crime of having
aided aud abetted in tbeir country's ruin 1 Let
all the people pray—pray that iheir priceless liberties may be preserved ; that illegal arrests, unlawful banishments, and violations of personal
rights may no longer prevail ; that integrity may
dwell in tbe heart of their servants, and publia
virtue once again assert its sway in the bight
places of the Government; that the crimes wa-ieht
have degraded the bad men in power may glva
place to official purity and rectitude j tfett wronga
may be righted, outrages redressed, error rebuked
and tbat justioe may again be recalled to a land
from whose borders she fled affrighted and dismayed, when the dark shadows of a coming des>
potism fell upon her pathway.—Kentucky News.
Rebel Terms op Peace.—The Richmond Enquirer ,ot tbe 16th of October, in an editorial upon "peace," says:
"Save on our own terms, we can accept no peaca
whatever, and must fight till dooms-day rasiher
than yield an iota of them; and our terms are:
'Recognition by tbe enemy of the independence
of the Confederate States. Withdrawal of Yan-
koe forces from every foot of Confederate grotrhd,
including Kentucky and Missouri. Withdrawal of
Yankee soldiers horn Maryland until, tbat State-
shall decide, by a free vote, whether she shall remain in the old Union, or ask admission into the
Confederacy. Consent, ou the part of the Federal-
government, to give up to the Confederacy ita
proportion of the navy as it stood at the time of
secession, or to pay for the same. Yielding up all
pretensions on the part of the Federal Government to that portion of the old territories which
lies west of the Confederate States. An equitable-
settlement, on the basis of ©as? absolute independence and equal rights, of all acoonnts of the pub--
lie debt and pa-blio lands, and of the advantages
aocrueing from foreign treaties.
Tbese provisions, we apprehend, comprise ..ther
mininm of what we must require belore we lay
down our arms."
