. } ” OVER THE MOUNTAINS. BY MISS PROCTOR. Like dreary prison walls The pve grey mountains rise, Until their topmost crags Touch the far gloomy skies; One-steep and narrow path Winds up the mountain crest, And from our valley leads Out to the golden West. 1 dwell here in content, Thankful for tranquil days; And yet my eyes grow dim, As still I gaze and gaze Upon that mountain yn That leads—or so it seems— To some far happy iand Known in the worki of dreams. And as I watch that i Over the distant bill, A foolish longing comes My heart and soul to fill,— A painful, strange desire to break some weary bond; A vague, unuttered wish For what might lie beyond! In that far world unknown, Over that distant hill, May dwell the loved and lost— Lost, yet beloved still, I bave a yearning hope, Half-longing and half pain, That by the mountain pass They may return again, Space may keep friends apart, Death has a mighty thrall; There is another gul Harder to cross than all,* Yet, watching that far road, My heart beats full and fast— * If they should come once more— If they shonld come at last! See down the mountain side The silver vapors creep, They hide the rocky clifls, They hide the craggy steep; Ti? hide the narrow path sat comes across the hill— Oh, foolish longing, cease! Oh, beating heart, be stilil * Mrs. Bennutt pown on Forrest.—Ching Foo writes to the Union, from New York:— “There isa fact connected with Forrest which shows how the Herald is moved and inspired. Ten days sioce, Mrs, James Gordon Bennett visited the theater, She was in the stage box with three or four of the young fellows who are the regular fringe to her garments, and the party laughed and jabbered so loudly and with such ill-breeding that it annoyed the house, and of course Mr. Forrest alse. Prior to this, let me explain, the Herald had been singularly favorable to the great American tragedian. Well, on that night, having borne it as lon as he could, Forrest lost his patience, anc sent a stage messenger around “in front’ to give Mr. Forrest’s compliments to Mrs, Bennett, and request her and her party to behave themselves whilst the curtain was up. Mrs. Bennett immediately got up in a rage, flounced out of the house, and sent orders down to the newspaper office to “slash’’ Forrest, aod everything else belonging to Niblo’s Theater for the future. It has been done !’’ Lire on THE Ocean Wave.—A jolly good fellow was Dr. Sargeant of Boston, I was introduced to him just as the steamer Star was leaving ber dock at New York for Europe. For the first twenty-four hours, “Richard whs himself agaio,’’ but that fell destroyer, who neither spares age, sex nor condition, sea sickness, seized him and nothing more was seen of the jolly old doctor for several days. We bad left the banks and were steaming along beautifully, when one morning I saw the doctor’s head emerging from the lower regions. But whata face . long, lugubrious, distreesed ;_ bis bair uncared for, dress untidy, eyes bloodshot. I could scarcely believe this apparition was the jolly old déctor who had kept us all in a roar the firet day out, “Well, my dear doctor, how do you feel by this time?’ Mh 1” said he, and there was an unmistakable earnestness in his eye ; ‘feel! why I feel as though I had but two objects in life now. One is to put foot on terra firma and the other, to find out and whip thod: low who wrote “Life on the Ocean Wave!’’ A Srrone Kiss.—Tennyson, in his poem of “Fatima,’’ relates the strongest case of suction within our knowledge at present. Speaking of a lover’s kiss, he says, or rather she says: Last night when some one spoke his name, From my sweet blood that went and came, A thousand little shafts of flame Were shivered in my narrow frame, © love O fire! Once he drew, With one long kiss my whole soul through My lips, as sunlight drinketh dew. That’s the strongest kiss we ever read about and throws the “poor man’s plaster’ completely in the shade, Phcebus! whata suction that fellow had. LIgvuTENANT SLEMMER, says the Columbus Times, in command at Fort Pickens, dined wit Colonel Tennent Lomax and officers of the Alabama volunteers, a few days since, and in the course of a friendly conversation said: “Colonel Lomax, I expegted a visit from you at the fort before this time.” Tothis kind rebuke of the chivalry and courage of the State troops, the wer Colonel promptly replied: ‘My dear sir, ad I been in command you would not have . Nos. 10 and 12, Broad Street, Nevada, . ‘ty. . been disappointed.” Pienty or Goip.—The New York Atlas says: n this city the banks and bankers have . Broad street, opposite Withington’s, will be promptupwards of $40,000,000 of gold. At the . ly attended to. assay office there are $6,000,000 of uncoined bullion which is being prepared for the mint atthe rate of about $400,000 per day. Money was never more abundant in New York than at the present time. And they ~~ to the gold mines of California or it. For sale by BE.

David Belden, County Judge of Nevada County, and K. W. Maslin, District Attorney. Al80, to the Hon. Thos. H. Caswell, late County Judge and 4. A. Sargent, late District Attorney : Take Notice, that Lintend making application to His Excellency, J. G. Downey, for the pardon of tioned diseases, had been given up to die by their . Torn GARDINER, who was convicted at the Februphysicians, which warrants me in promising to the afflicted, 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, Serofula, and many other diseases, and should be a terror to the human family. A permanent cure is scereny ever effected, a majority of the cases falling into the hands of incompetent persons, who not only fail to cure the disease, bat 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 children, who are born with feeble constitutions, and the current of life corrupted by a virus, which betrays itself in serofula, tetter, ulcers, eruptions, and other affections of the skin, eyes, throat and lungs, entailing upon them a brief exisj tance of suffering, and consigning them to an early grave. Se.r-Anvse is another formidable enemy to health, for nothing else in the dread catalogue of human diseases causes 80 destructive a drain upon the system, drawing its thousands of victims, througha few years of suffering, down to an untimely grave. It destroys 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, and all 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.
