“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. >>

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.

If you are suffering or have suffered, from in
voluntary discharges, what effect does it produce
upon your general health? 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?

This Powder is invaluable to the Housekeeper,
Hotel and Restaurant Proprietors, Miners and
owners of Steamships and sea geing vessels, cs it
does away with the necessity of providing Eggs
for Puddings. Cakes», Fancy Breads, etc., as the
contents of each tin is equal in every respect (for
the above purpose) to four dozen of Eggs.
It dispenses entirely with the use of Soda, Sal-
eratus and Cream of Tartar, (three ingredients
that are very apt to disagree with delicate stom
achs), and is a friend to the dyspeptic, as it makes
the food into which it is introduced, light and
wholesome. It is entirely free from all mineral
alkalies . and is recommended by the Faculty to
those sutfering from sour stomachs and impaired
digestion, or irregularity of the biliary secretions.
