Nothing Is Lost. Nothing is lost. The drop of dew That trembles on the l«af or flower Is but exhaled to fall anew Tn summer’s thunder shower; Perchance to shine within the bow That fronts the sun at tall of day; Perchance to sparkle in the flow Os fountains far away. So with our deeds, for good or ill, They have their power scarce understood, Then let us use our bettor will To make them rife with good; Like circles on a lake they go, Ring within ring, and never stay, Oh that our deeds were fashioned so That they might bless alwr.y. glisrdUnrw. Gold in .Horgan County. A. S. Griggs and T. E. Dawson, j of this city, one day the present; week exhibited to us some as fine ; specimens of virgin gold—ten dol- ■ Jars’ worth—as we ever saw.— ' These particles they found in this] county, a few days since, and old i California miners, cf extended ex- . perience and knowledge, who have i thoroughly examined and tested : the same say that thsy show evidence of rich “diggings;” that they are far better than most of the California specimens, which indicated mines of vast wealth in I that State. The particles shown j us bear evidence of having at one ■ time passed through the action of. heat, and no doubt were thrown to t the surface by upheaval or erup- i tion volcanic in its nature. These i particles may possibly be the in- i dex directing to rich mines of] gold, and we hope that, “while the lamp holds out to burn.” our gold hunting friends will not delay in making a vigorous and thorough examination —using all their energy, skill and mechanism in attaining the desired end, continuing through toil and sweat until the}may Ire enabled to exclaim triumphantly. to the astonishment of | every one, -‘Eureka !” It has- long 1 since been thought by some that gold abounded to some considerable extent in thiscoiutty; but, tin- } fortunately, no one became sufficiently interested to give the mat- ’ ter the proper attention Gold stories were repeated until the peo pie became more or less careless and unconcerned in the premises, pronouncing the whole thing a humbug, when they had no certain knowledge of the, farts. Let future developments settle that important question. — Jl'irtinsvilfe Gazette. A Japanese Belle. Q Writes a tourist: And now let me describe to you a Japanese lady, one of those whose form our American belles have recently been copying.—She hasdong, black hair, straight and coarse, dressed with an enormous waterfail upon the crown of her head. They shave the eyebrows an*} then pen cil them, because they can make a very much more elegant curve with n bit of charcoal than nature can with hair. They paint and powder the face; they dye the teeth jet black, and then, in order to have them fully seen, insert sone bits of wood or ivory between the jaw and the lips, in order to keep the latter separute. —They wear the “Japan ese bend ;” their shoes are made'] Ileus —that is, they have a apartment f>r the great put the others into the uarters; and they wear iie-ds—that is. they have '<b-n supports to the shoe, close together, about the.middle of the foot, winch correspond to the heel a-v-wrirn in these days by American *a<lk-s. And they quite resenjlile their American cousins in the grace and ease with which they innnage the ••bend” and the • heel.” flow to Hi kg Kcireslied. Every person who toils daily at any kind of labor requiring great physical or mental exertion should be extremely careful to practice a regular system of ablution at the • close of each day’s work. Some time* a person may become so completely exhausted as to render this anything but an inviting performance; yet by its omission a great deal of refreshment which the hours of repose are designed to impart is lost. To be chianlv is a strictly religions duty, and is .absolutely essential to sound ami refreshit g shimlx»r: henet* the labor «>f keeping one’s person clean is amply repaid by the elasticity which fi.lows ni'/htly ablutions l»efore retiring. Heed this advice, and the rt ader will sleep snumllv ; disregard it. go to Led unwashed, and you will rise in the morning nnrefre Jwsl. with feelings of lassitude which the exertions of the day will hardly be able to fremave. The mare Flora Tent] It*,. formerly Qaeen of the Turf, is still hale cn l hearty, notwithstanding •lie hi • reached the advanced age nf thirty-three years. She is now the mother of a couple of promts--* ing foals, a filly and a colt inspect iv<V, the latter hating rd into fxiab bee luUuirg.
