I 1 1 I “EXCELSIOR” [Written for the N ews .] 0 Tempora ! 0 Mores ! ’Tis hard I just to witness the changes ! How soon can a country run down 1 Decay, without hind’rance, now ranges O’er county, and township, and town. And sad is the tale that the faces Of people now tell as they pass ; While even their slow-driving paces Are signs of ennui en matte. Adieu, then, to all that existed When times were nnusually good, With these who were amply assisted To stem fortune’s tide at its flood. To strikes which were once very common. We say, with reluctance, farewell ; Good-bye to the old mode of tomin’. For sluices will now seldom tell. No wonder wo hear loud complaining From settlers, alike, old and new, To find that the prospects for gaining, Are growing provokingly few. Ravines which wore once quite prolific, (Paid a fortune a day, near about,) Like much of the o’er-praised Pacific, Have “petered” entirely out. Alaa, for the “poor, honest miner Alas, for all others as well I And where is the trusty diviner Who aught of our future can tefl ? What hope for the gay birds of fashion? What chance for the “buunner” ’bout town? Alas, too, for those who’ve a passion For pouring “Hell’s beverages” down ! And what will become of our gallants, With those who are fond of the dance ? I fear that their amiable talents Will wither ’neath Poverty’s glance. And oh I is it not very cruel ? And have we no other redress But to brave all the world’s ridicule By running in debt to excess ? It more than surprises a native To witness the triumphs of “cheek”— A quality more operative As luere grows harder to seek. With hoads very high on their shoulders Some folks will contrive to look grand, And act as if they were the holders Of all of the wealth in the land. Like eomets, they shine for a season More observed than fixed orbs of the sky ; So little has poor honest reason To do with our vox populi. ¡But may wo not judge, from dissensions Pertaining to times that we share, Henceforth, Fate’s a foe to pretensions Unless they are “all on the square. >> F. A T erkible C alamity .—The Point Pleaa- <nt (W. Va.) Journal, learns from a reliable •ource the following horrible affair, which occurred in Roane county, a few days ago : A lady, whose name our informant had for gotten, <residing upon the above named creek, had gone down to it in the morning for the purpoee of doing “the week’s washing,” tak ing with her the youngest child, an infant .abouta year old, leaving her other three at ’th«’house. While engaged at her work, she ‘heard-suppressed screams at the house. Tak- dng'up her little child from the soiled clothes upon which it was sitting she placed it in an ■empty wash-tub to keep it from crawling into the ereek daring her absence, and hastened to the houM, where she met her eldest «child with its head frightfully disfigured and . swollen. She hastily gleaned from this one that the three children had crawled under the house in search of eggs ; that while un der, something had hurt them, and that the two other children were still under the house. The mother, upon looking under the house, found them nearly dead, with several mocca sin snakes (a very poisonous and deadly epe ciee) crawling around their bodies. The neighbors were alarmed, and by their assist* ance the snakes were killed, aod the unfortu nate children taken out, their bodies present ing a frightful and sickening appearance. By this time the elder one was a corpse. The mother, in her despair and agony, had for gotten until now her little one at the creek, and upon going down to the creek for it, was only to find it a corpse in the water. It is supposed the little child elimbed up in the tub, and was holding to the lower edge of it, when the tub upset, rolling the child into the water below, and drowning it. It is said the mother’s grief was so great that at last ac counts she was a raving maniac. A Connecticut boy, who bad the western fever and went to Omaha, writes that five hundred men are out of work ; that wages run from Si 80 to $2 75 per day, with board from $5 to $8. As to the “garden of the West,” he says that wild lands in Nebraska are like certain sand plains in Connecticut, where the winters are severe and drought and grasshoppers use up what grows in the sum mer. A woman’s life has two eventful periods. One, when she wonders who she will have; the other when she wonders who will have her. THE PLACE LIVERY STABLE. On Oregon street, Jacksonville.

Do you feci weak, debilitated, easily tired ? Does a little extra exer tion produce palpitation of the heart ? Does your liver, or urinary organs, or your kidneys frequen tly get out of order? Is your urine sometimes thick, milky or flocky or is it ropy on settling? Or does a thick scum rise to the top ? Or is a sed iment at the bottom after it has stood awhile? Do you have spells of short breathing or dyspep sia? Are your bowels constipated ? Do you have spells of fainting, or rushes of blood to the head ? Is your memory impaired? Is your mind con stantly dwelling on this subject ? Do you feel dull, listless, moping, tired of company, of life? Do you wish to be left alone, to get away from everybody ? Does any little thing make you start or jump? Is your sleep broken or restless ? Is the lustre of your eye as brilliant ? The bloom on your cheek as bright? Do you enjoy yourself in society as well ? Do you pursue your business with the same energy ? Do you feel as much con fidence in yourself? Are your spirits dull and flagging, given to fits of melancholy? If so do not lay it to your liver or dyspepsia. Have you restless nights? Your back weak, your knees weak, and have but little appetite, and you attri bute this to dyspepsia, or liver complaint? self-abuse, venereal diseases badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all capable of producing a weakness of the generative organs.
