vain ARAN ME INS SH nn semen Sibi ih ASI MARCH. BY WILLIAM ©. BRYANT, The bud is in the bough And the leaf is in the bud, And Farth’s nning now In her caasts feel the blood, Which, warmed by Summer’s sun In th’ alembic of the vine, From her founts will overrun In a ruddy gush of wine. The perfume and the bloom That shall decorate the flower Are quickening in the gloom Of their subterranean bower; And the juices meant to feed Trees, vegetables, fruits, Unerringly proceed * To their pre-appointed roots. How awful is the thought Of the wonders underground Ot the mystic “— wrought In the silent, dark, profound; How each thing upward tends By necessity decreed, And a world’s support depends On the shooting of a seed! The Summer’s in her ark, And this sunny pinion’d day Is commigsioned to remark Whether Winter holds her sway, Go back, thou dove of peace, With myrtle on thy wing, Say that floods and tempests cense, And the world is ripe for Spring. Thou hast fanned the sleeping Earth Till her dreams are all of flowers, And the waters look in mirth For their overhanging bowers; The forest seems to listen For the rustle of its leaves. And the very skies do glisten In the hope of Summer eves. The vivifying spell Has heen felt beneath the wave, By the dormouse in its cell And the mole within its cave; And the Summer tribes that creep Or in air expand their wing, Have started from their sleep At the summons of the Spring. The cattle lift their voices From the valleys and the hills, And the feathered race rejoices With a gush of tuneful bills; And if this cloudless arch Fills the poet’s song with glee, 0, thou sunny first of March, Be it dedicate to thee! “ANYTHING IN Reason.’’— When the United States Army started for Utah, there was a scarcity of transportation, or, in other words, there were too few baggage wagons, Now every soldier knows how like the ap: ple of one’s eye are theso same baggage wagons, drawn as they are by six mules, on the long marches across the plains, A colonel of dragoons, who had command of one of the columns, restricted the officers very much in their allowance of baggage, and was most bitter ifany one tried to exceed the just amount. One morning the colonél met one of his captains, (a dragoon, of course,) when he burst out as follows: “Captain, do you know what these artillery officers want to take acroas the Plains?”’ “No, Colonel, I do not,’’ said the Captain with an inquiring look. “Well,” said he, “if you’ll believe me, there's one of ’em wants to take across a box of books.’’ “Books !’’ exclajmed the Captain ; “what next, [ wonder! Now, Colonel, I have but little to take across myself—nothing, in fact, but a barrel of whisky.” “Of course, Captain, of course ; anything in reason ; but the idea of carrying a parcel of books across that stretch isa little more than I can stand,” Bionpin Ourpone.—Kvelyn, in his account of the feats of walking the tight rope which he saw performed by & Turk, at Bartholemew Fair, in 1657, states that these were not, even at that time, unprecedented, When Edward VI. passed through London the day before bis coronation, (February 19th, 1547,) a Spaniard descended on a rope stretched from the battlements of St. Paul’s steeple and fastened to an anchor near the gate of the deanery, “lying on the rope with his head forward,” says an old chronicle, “casting his arms avd legs abroad, and running on his breast on the rope from the battlements to the ground as if he had been an arrow out of a bow.” The same exploit was repeated on the entry of Phillip and Mary into London after their marriage (August 19, 1654,) at the same place, or, according to one authority, “from the Chapted howe.’”’ The performer on the last occasion met, soon afterwards, with the fate too common to such persons, and paid for . his foolish temerity with his life. A man su uently performed similar feats in 1750, in various parts of England, among others ut Hartford, where he descended “a rope stretched from the tower of All Saint’s chureh, and brought obliquely to the ground, about four scere yards from the bottom of the tower.” Reovrativa Ananpoxep Women.—A law hag recently been passed in the Sandwich Islands, subjecting abandoned women to the [x= WHITHER aT O=CHEAP JOHN'S: HE ALWAYS HAS AND ALWAYS WILL UNDERSELL ANY HOUSE IN NEVADA COUNTY.

CARTHREA, Nevada March 19th 1861.—3w OB PRINTING NEATLY EXECUTED at this offico—Corner of Pine and Broad sts. Of all Diseases, the Great First Cause Springs from neglect of Nature's laws. SUFFER NOT! When a cure is guaranteed in all stages of SECRET DISEASES. Self-abuse, Nervous Debility, Strictures, Gleet, Gravel Diabetes, Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Mercurial Rheumatism, Serofula, Pains in the Bones and Ankles, Diseases of the Lungs, Throat, Nose and Eyes, Uleers upon the Body or Limbs, Cancers, psy, Epileptic Fits, St. Vitus’ Dance, and all Diseases arising from a derangement of the Sexual Organs. Such as Terres Trembling, Loss of memory, [oss of Power, General Weakness, Dimness of Vision. with peculiar spots appearing before the eyes, Loss of Sight, Wakefulness, Dyspepsia, Liver Diseases, Eruptions upon the Fae, Pain in the Back and Head, Female Irregularities, and all improper discharges of both sexes, It matters not from what cause the disease originated, however long standing or obstinate the case, recovery is certain, and ina shorter time than a permanent cure can be effected by any other treatment, even after the disease has baffled the skill of eminent physicians and resisted all their means of cure. The medicines prescribed are pleasant, without odor, entirely vegetable, causing no sickness, and free from mercury or balsam. During fifteen years of practice, in Europe, the Atlantic States, and California, I have rescued from the jaws of death many thousands, who, in the last stages of the above men tioned diseases, had been given up to die by their physicians, which warrants me in promising to the affiicted, who may place themselves under my care, a perfect and speedy cure. Private diseases are the greatest enemies to health, as they are the first cause of Consumption, Scrofula, and many other diseases, . and should be a terror to the human family. A permanent cure is scarce) the cases falling inte the hands of incompetent persons, who not only fail to eure the disease, but ruin the constitution, filling the system with mercury, which, with the disease, hastens the sufferer into a rapid consumption. But should the disease and the treatment not cause death speedily, and the victim marries, the disease is
entailed upon the childrem, who are born with feeble constitutions, and fhe current of life corrupted by a virus, which betrays itself in scrofula, tetter, ulcers, eruptions, and other affections of the skin, eyes, throat and lungs, entailing upon them a brief existance of suffering, and comsigning them to an early grave. Se.yv-Arvse is another formidable enemy to health, for nothing else in the dread catalogue of human dixeases causes so destructive a drain upon the system, . drawing its thousands of victims, through a few years . It destroys . of suffering, down to an untimely grave. the nervous system, rapidly wastes away the energies of life, causes mental derangement, prevents the . proper developement of the system, disqualifies for marriage, society, business, andall earthly happiness, and leaves the sufferer wrecked in body and mind, predisposed to consumption, and a train of evils more to be dreaded than death itself, With the fullest confidence I assure the unfortunate victims of Self-abuse, that a permanent and speedy cure can . be effected, and with the abandonment of ruinous practices my patients can be restored to robust, vigorous health. Irregelarities, and all diseases of males and females, treated on principles established by fifteen years of practice, and sanctioned by thousands of the most remarkable cures.
