Che Press [{Communicated.} O1d i Age. “Old age is lovely ! 1 So said ah acquaintance to-day, upon hearing a rather irreverent remark from my lips in reference toa hoary hypocrite ; and the general truth of his reproachful observation I might once have admitted. But the experience of later years has rendered me sceptical in this regard. The wrinkles and the gray hairs are so often brought by sin, or at least by what we call sin, and the possessors of these revered indications of graveward-tending steps so seldom possess with them the dignified self-respect by which they should be accompanied, that I may well be pardoned for dissenting from the popular belief. The popular mind retains a legacy of dogmatic proverbs, which was bequeathed to it by the ignorant ancestral “wisdom” of nobody knows how many centuries ago, and which is almost impregnable to the attacks of truth by reason of its very antiquity. Hence men see their gray-haired elders exceed them in all manner of wickedness; they see them grow more selfish and exacting in proportion as they need more to receive and are less able to give ; they see them also magnifying their self-importance, impertinently obtruding their egotism upon forbearing respect, and haughtily claiming for musty prejudices and narrow views the attention due to wisdom; they see them physicaly impotent and mentally in their dotage, casting the long, dark, gloomy shadow of ‘their evening upon the lovely morning objects—the beautiful youth around them ;—yet they still magnanimously reiterate: “Old age is lovely!” Why is it lovely ? Surely, that which is quick and strong in man—which prompts him rapidly to conceive and powerfully to execute—azility with grace, and strength without brutality, —this, in the man physical, is love~ liness ; and in the mah mental and moral,—an honest heart, unhardened by sordidness, a frank guileless disposition, a soul large enough to entertain another image than its owner’s, an intellect capable of reasoning and not forever blinded by egotism. _ Without these qualities man is an unlovely object at any age Now old age lacks many, sometimes all of these. It has lost the beauty of its lusty morning, the glory of its noonday prime ; intercourse with struggling mammonworshipers in the court of trade has made it sordid, until the rim of a dollar bas become the cir cumference of its world ; the fires of the intellect, once shining in the bold glancing eye, are dim and fading, and the shadow of death already darkens its presence, reminding us of the tomb. Hence old age is not lovely, but pitiable. As well admire the blasted tree, lifting its melancholy column of decay amidst the gay verdure of youthful forests. Yet there zs an old age that is lovely ; an old age of benevolence and universal love, when the declining sun of a long life beams tenderly and beautifully upon the objects around it, setting finally in such glory as makes its departure lamented and leaves behind it amber tints of lingeting remembrance. These is an old age, amongst many women and a few men, in which ail the best qualities of youth seem to be, not embalmed, but powerfully re~ juvenated, unalloyed by baseness of any kind. The old uncle, or the silver headed grandfather, the old maiden aunt—curses on him who mocks her !—or the venerable grand mother whose heart beats to the music of youthful footsteps; these saye the ancient saying from tke stigma of utter falsity ; their latter days are full of blessings to all but themselves, per~ haps, and their memory lingers on earth long after their departure. But these were lovely in youth. Oh, vain it is to expect the hard beart of early years to soften, the Vicious inclinations of youth to become aspirations after virtue, a long career of iniquity to terminate in a righteous eldage. A whole existence of mam~ ‘mon-worship, of selfish neglect of all hhoman claims, of forgetfulness of nature, of blind veering over the sea of life without the guiding helm of ‘prineip iple, utterly unfita man fora utiful old age. An unthriftly sappling seldom becomes a lovely, fruit-bearing tree. 4 Horses.—These are mea’s wings, wherewith they make such speed. A generous creature a horse is, sen-sible'in some sort of honor ; and made most handsome by that which deforms nen most—pride.— Fuller. Sd Ee BARES lit ath tht tte An Dl etn, Ri RN ano i ent Sh A wal itch te ti cn ont t Se) TR MOE dctac n Ph Me RN Kite tha LE Si Bo bo ch TENDERNESS OF CoNSCIENCE IN A TrapEsMAN.—Under this title Charles Lamb gives a specimen from Fuller in which that old worthy immortalizes the name of an humble man. Here is the story—writtén about two hundred years ago, and nobler than the biography of half the Cesars : ‘‘ Thomas Curson, born in Allhal~ lows, Lombard-street, armorer, dwelt without Bishopsgate. It happened that a stage-player borrowed a rusty musket, which had lain long leger in his shop : now though his part were comical, he therewith acted unexpected tragedy, killing one of the standers-by, the gun casually going off on the stage, which he suspected not to be charged. Oh the difference of divers men in the tenderness cf their consciencess! some are scarce touched with a wound, while others are wounded with a touch therein. This poor armorer was highly afflicted therewith, though done ayainst his will, yea, ‘without his knowledge, in his sinence; by another, out of mere chance. Hereupon he resoloved to give all his estate to pious uses: no sooner had he gotten a round sum, bat presently he posted with it in his apron to the court of aldermen, and was in pain till by their direction he had settled it for the relief of poor in his own and other parishes, and disposed of some hundreds of pounds accordingly, as I am credibly informed by the then churchwardens of the parish. Thus, as he conceived himself casually (though at a great distance) to have occasioned the death of one, he was the immediate and direct cause of giving a comfortable living to many.’ We have known men, upon whose grounds were old, magnificent trees of centuries’ growth, lifted up into the air with vast breadth, and full of twilight at midday, who cut down all these mighty monarchs, and cleared the ground bare; and then when the desolation was completed, and the fierce summer gazed full into their faces with its fire, they bethought themselves of shade, and forthwith set out a generation of thin, shadowless sticks, and pined and waited till they should stretch out their boughs with protection, and darken the ground with grateful shadow. Truths are first clouds, then rain, then harvests and food. The philos ophy of one century is the common sense of the next. Men are called fools in one age, for not knowing what they were called fools for averring in the age before. We should so live and labor in our time that what came to us as seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and that what came to us as blossom may go to them as fruit. This is what we mean by progress. What we ca!l wisdom is the result, not the residuum, of all the wisdom of pas ages. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away. Never forget what a man has said to you when he was angry. If he has charged you with anything, you had better look it up. Anger is a bow that will shoot sometimes where another feeling will not. Heaven will be inherited by every man who has heaven in his soul. “The kingdom of God is within you.” [ Beecher. THe Wonpers or Licut.—Not only does tight fly from the grand ‘ruler of the day,’ with a velocity which is @ million and a half times greater than the speed of a cannon ball, but it darts from every reflecting surface with a like velocity, and reaches the tender structure of the eye so gently, that, as it falls upon the little curcain of nerves which is. there spread to receive it, it imparts the most pleasing sensations, and tells its story of the outer world with a minuteness of detail and a holiness of truth. Philosophers once sought to weigh the sunbeam. ‘They constructed a most delicate balance, and suddenly let in upen it a beam of light: the lever of the balance was so delicately hung that the fluttering of a fly would have disturbed it. Everything prepared, the grave men took their places, and with keen eyes watched the result. The sunbeam that was to decide the experiment had left the sun eight winutes prior, to pass the ordeal. It had flown through ninety-five millions of miles of space in that short meas~ ure of time, and it shot upon the balance with unabated velocity. But the lever moved not; and the philoso~ pees were mute.—Scientifie Ameri~~ eg SSS SSS ss SS sls eth Ss Sins SSDS ee CONNUBIAL FELICITY. In short, the man was very poor— And, what #as worse, supremely lazy ; A kind of trouble hard to cure, But such as rarely drives one crazy. His wife w s just his proper match, An idle gossip and & slattern, Whose frock, with time and frequent patch, Knew nevermore its native pattern. They lived, as *tweré, from anand to mouth, She dawdling over pots and kettles, He ina constant stave of drought, And both in frequent want o victuals. How a Good Wife is to be Won. I know that men naturally shrink from the attempt to obtain compan~ ions who are their superiors; but they will find that really intelligent women, who possess the most desirable qualities, are uniformly modest, . and hold their charms in modest estimation. What such women most admire in men is gallantry ; not the gallantry of courts and fops, but bold nes3, courage, devotion, decision, and refined civility. A man’s bearing wins ten superior women where his boots and brains win one. If a man stand before a woman with respect for himself and fearlessness of her, his suit is half won. The rest may safely be left to the parties most interest~ ed. ‘Therefore, never be afraid of a woman. Wowen are the most harmless and agreeable creatures, to a man who shows that he has got a man’s soul in him. If you have not got the spirit in you to come up to a test like this, you have not got that in you which most pleases a hiyh souled woman, and you will be oblized to content yourself with the simple yvirl who, in & quiet way, is endeavoring to attract aud fasten you. But don’t be in a hurry about the matter. Don’t get into a feverish. # longing for marriage. It isn’t creditable to you. Especially don’t im~ agine that any disappointment in love which takes place before you are twenty-one years old will be of any material damage to you. The truth is, that before a man is twenty-five years old he does not know what he wants himself. So don’t bein a hurry. The more of aman you become, the more manlinees you become cas pable of exhibiting in your associa~ tion with women, and the better wife you will be able to maintain; and one year’s possession of the heart and hand of a really noble specimen of her sex is worth nine hundred and ninety-nine years’ possession of a sweet creature with two ideas in her, and nothing new about either of them. ‘Better fifty years of Europe than a cycle of Cathay.” So don’t be ina hurry, I say again. You don’t want a wife now, and you have not the slightest idea of the kind of wife you will want by andby. Go into female society if you can find that which will improve you, but not otherwise. You can spend your time better. Seek the society of good men. That is often more accessible to you than the other, and it is through that mostly that you will find your way to good female society.—7'. Titcomé. Tue Devit’s T'ea-Ketrie.—There is, probably, no portion of the continent which affords a wider field for geological research, than the Great Basin of Deseret, or Utah. Ir that solitary, unexplored region are many curious salt lakes, the 1 vestizes of a lost ocean, the waters of which are so strongly impregnated with saline matter that they are little else than immense reservoirs of salt in solution. Vast rivers meander for hundreds of leagues through sterile solitudes, and at length mysteriously disappear in the thirsty deserts. Immense de~ posits of soda cause the water, in certain localities, to seeth and effer~ vesce like boiling cauldrons. Springs of sulphur, and springs of boiling hot water, mountains of show and burning plains, smiling vallies and vast eposites of subterranean ice, these aod a thousand other wonders are to be seen in the great American Basin. Lieutenant Sawtelle of the 6th Infantry, while on the recent march across the continent, at a point about forty miles from where the overland route firat strikes the Humboldt, saw a very singular natural curiusity, which per compliment, we will name the “‘devil’s tea-kettle.” On the very apex of a conical shaped mound, about eighty feet in height, was an unfathomable miniature lake of warm water which had no apparent outlet, or in~ let. The water was quite tepid and perfectly translucent, and its surtace was nearly on a level with the top of the cone which contained it. Various attempts were made to fathom this curious basin, but no bottom could be found. ‘ At the distance of forty feet from the base of the mound, were a number of gushing fountains, the water of which was intensely hot. Can aay one explain the mystery of the ‘* devil’s tea-kettle?” — Mountain Democrat. HOTELS. Union Berne San Juan Drug Store! Main street, N orth San J uan MITCHELL & SWAIN. eeeeeeeProprietors.

Although possessed of powerful healing properties, it is entirely harmless, and will not injure the most DELICATE CONSTITUTION, When in perfect health, no effect is produced by its use, except an increase of appetite: but when disease 1s seated in the frame, and carrying fast its victim along the path of life, then its mysterious influence is feit and seen; it enkindles new life and vigor, and brings health and strength to the suffering and diseasel.

I employed two physicians to attend her, who exhausted their utmost skill to give her relief. but it all proved useless. and finally one of them remarked to me that be bad known of some striking cures effected by Sands’ Sarsuparilla, and advised me to try it. I obtained one bottle, which she commenced using, and before it was all used up it had etfected an entire cure. It is now over four years since she was enred, and there has been no reappearance of the disease, and we are satisfied that it is a perfect cure.

Che Press [{Communicated.} O1d i Age. “Old age is lovely ! 1 So said ah acquaintance to-day, upon hearing a rather irreverent remark from my lips in reference toa hoary hypocrite ; and the general truth of his reproachful observation I might once have admitted. But the experience of later years has rendered me sceptical in this regard. The wrinkles and the gray hairs are so often brought by sin, or at least by what we call sin, and the possessors of these revered indications of graveward-tending steps so seldom possess with them the dignified self-respect by which they should be accompanied, that I may well be pardoned for dissenting from the popular belief. The popular mind retains a legacy of dogmatic proverbs, which was bequeathed to it by the ignorant ancestral “wisdom” of nobody knows how many centuries ago, and which is almost impregnable to the attacks of truth by reason of its very antiquity. Hence men see their gray-haired elders exceed them in all manner of wickedness; they see them grow more selfish and exacting in proportion as they need more to receive and are less able to give ; they see them also magnifying their self-importance, impertinently obtruding their egotism upon forbearing respect, and haughtily claiming for musty prejudices and narrow views the attention due to wisdom; they see them physicaly impotent and mentally in their dotage, casting the long, dark, gloomy shadow of ‘their evening upon the lovely morning objects—the beautiful youth around them ;—yet they still magnanimously reiterate: “Old age is lovely!” Why is it lovely ? Surely, that which is quick and strong in man—which prompts him rapidly to conceive and powerfully to execute—azility with grace, and strength without brutality, —this, in the man physical, is love~ liness ; and in the mah mental and moral,—an honest heart, unhardened by sordidness, a frank guileless disposition, a soul large enough to entertain another image than its owner’s, an intellect capable of reasoning and not forever blinded by egotism. _ Without these qualities man is an unlovely object at any age Now old age lacks many, sometimes all of these. It has lost the beauty of its lusty morning, the glory of its noonday prime ; intercourse with struggling mammonworshipers in the court of trade has made it sordid, until the rim of a dollar bas become the cir cumference of its world ; the fires of the intellect, once shining in the bold glancing eye, are dim and fading, and the shadow of death already darkens its presence, reminding us of the tomb. Hence old age is not lovely, but pitiable. As well admire the blasted tree, lifting its melancholy column of decay amidst the gay verdure of youthful forests. Yet there zs an old age that is lovely ; an old age of benevolence and universal love, when the declining sun of a long life beams tenderly and beautifully upon the objects around it, setting finally in such glory as makes its departure lamented and leaves behind it amber tints of lingeting remembrance. These is an old age, amongst many women and a few men, in which ail the best qualities of youth seem to be, not embalmed, but powerfully re~ juvenated, unalloyed by baseness of any kind. The old uncle, or the silver headed grandfather, the old maiden aunt—curses on him who mocks her !—or the venerable grand mother whose heart beats to the music of youthful footsteps; these saye the ancient saying from tke stigma of utter falsity ; their latter days are full of blessings to all but themselves, per~ haps, and their memory lingers on earth long after their departure. But these were lovely in youth. Oh, vain it is to expect the hard beart of early years to soften, the Vicious inclinations of youth to become aspirations after virtue, a long career of iniquity to terminate in a righteous eldage. A whole existence of mam~ ‘mon-worship, of selfish neglect of all hhoman claims, of forgetfulness of nature, of blind veering over the sea of life without the guiding helm of ‘prineip iple, utterly unfita man fora utiful old age. An unthriftly sappling seldom becomes a lovely, fruit-bearing tree. 4 Horses.—These are mea’s wings, wherewith they make such speed. A generous creature a horse is, sen-sible'in some sort of honor ; and made most handsome by that which deforms nen most—pride.— Fuller. Sd Ee BARES lit ath tht tte An Dl etn, Ri RN ano i ent Sh A wal itch te ti cn ont t Se) TR MOE dctac n Ph Me RN Kite tha LE Si Bo bo ch TENDERNESS OF CoNSCIENCE IN A TrapEsMAN.—Under this title Charles Lamb gives a specimen from Fuller in which that old worthy immortalizes the name of an humble man. Here is the story—writtén about two hundred years ago, and nobler than the biography of half the Cesars : ‘‘ Thomas Curson, born in Allhal~ lows, Lombard-street, armorer, dwelt without Bishopsgate. It happened that a stage-player borrowed a rusty musket, which had lain long leger in his shop : now though his part were comical, he therewith acted unexpected tragedy, killing one of the standers-by, the gun casually going off on the stage, which he suspected not to be charged. Oh the difference of divers men in the tenderness cf their consciencess! some are scarce touched with a wound, while others are wounded with a touch therein. This poor armorer was highly afflicted therewith, though done ayainst his will, yea, ‘without his knowledge, in his sinence; by another, out of mere chance. Hereupon he resoloved to give all his estate to pious uses: no sooner had he gotten a round sum, bat presently he posted with it in his apron to the court of aldermen, and was in pain till by their direction he had settled it for the relief of poor in his own and other parishes, and disposed of some hundreds of pounds accordingly, as I am credibly informed by the then churchwardens of the parish. Thus, as he conceived himself casually (though at a great distance) to have occasioned the death of one, he was the immediate and direct cause of giving a comfortable living to many.’ We have known men, upon whose grounds were old, magnificent trees of centuries’ growth, lifted up into the air with vast breadth, and full of twilight at midday, who cut down all these mighty monarchs, and cleared the ground bare; and then when the desolation was completed, and the fierce summer gazed full into their faces with its fire, they bethought themselves of shade, and forthwith set out a generation of thin, shadowless sticks, and pined and waited till they should stretch out their boughs with protection, and darken the ground with grateful shadow. Truths are first clouds, then rain, then harvests and food. The philos ophy of one century is the common sense of the next. Men are called fools in one age, for not knowing what they were called fools for averring in the age before. We should so live and labor in our time that what came to us as seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and that what came to us as blossom may go to them as fruit. This is what we mean by progress. What we ca!l wisdom is the result, not the residuum, of all the wisdom of pas ages. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away. Never forget what a man has said to you when he was angry. If he has charged you with anything, you had better look it up. Anger is a bow that will shoot sometimes where another feeling will not. Heaven will be inherited by every man who has heaven in his soul. “The kingdom of God is within you.” [ Beecher. THe Wonpers or Licut.—Not only does tight fly from the grand ‘ruler of the day,’ with a velocity which is @ million and a half times greater than the speed of a cannon ball, but it darts from every reflecting surface with a like velocity, and reaches the tender structure of the eye so gently, that, as it falls upon the little curcain of nerves which is. there spread to receive it, it imparts the most pleasing sensations, and tells its story of the outer world with a minuteness of detail and a holiness of truth. Philosophers once sought to weigh the sunbeam. ‘They constructed a most delicate balance, and suddenly let in upen it a beam of light: the lever of the balance was so delicately hung that the fluttering of a fly would have disturbed it. Everything prepared, the grave men took their places, and with keen eyes watched the result. The sunbeam that was to decide the experiment had left the sun eight winutes prior, to pass the ordeal. It had flown through ninety-five millions of miles of space in that short meas~ ure of time, and it shot upon the balance with unabated velocity. But the lever moved not; and the philoso~ pees were mute.—Scientifie Ameri~~ eg SSS SSS ss SS sls eth Ss Sins SSDS ee CONNUBIAL FELICITY. In short, the man was very poor— And, what #as worse, supremely lazy ; A kind of trouble hard to cure, But such as rarely drives one crazy. His wife w s just his proper match, An idle gossip and & slattern, Whose frock, with time and frequent patch, Knew nevermore its native pattern. They lived, as *tweré, from anand to mouth, She dawdling over pots and kettles, He ina constant stave of drought, And both in frequent want o victuals. How a Good Wife is to be Won. I know that men naturally shrink from the attempt to obtain compan~ ions who are their superiors; but they will find that really intelligent women, who possess the most desirable qualities, are uniformly modest, . and hold their charms in modest estimation. What such women most admire in men is gallantry ; not the gallantry of courts and fops, but bold nes3, courage, devotion, decision, and refined civility. A man’s bearing wins ten superior women where his boots and brains win one. If a man stand before a woman with respect for himself and fearlessness of her, his suit is half won. The rest may safely be left to the parties most interest~ ed. ‘Therefore, never be afraid of a woman. Wowen are the most harmless and agreeable creatures, to a man who shows that he has got a man’s soul in him. If you have not got the spirit in you to come up to a test like this, you have not got that in you which most pleases a hiyh souled woman, and you will be oblized to content yourself with the simple yvirl who, in & quiet way, is endeavoring to attract aud fasten you. But don’t be in a hurry about the matter. Don’t get into a feverish. # longing for marriage. It isn’t creditable to you. Especially don’t im~ agine that any disappointment in love which takes place before you are twenty-one years old will be of any material damage to you. The truth is, that before a man is twenty-five years old he does not know what he wants himself. So don’t bein a hurry. The more of aman you become, the more manlinees you become cas pable of exhibiting in your associa~ tion with women, and the better wife you will be able to maintain; and one year’s possession of the heart and hand of a really noble specimen of her sex is worth nine hundred and ninety-nine years’ possession of a sweet creature with two ideas in her, and nothing new about either of them. ‘Better fifty years of Europe than a cycle of Cathay.” So don’t be ina hurry, I say again. You don’t want a wife now, and you have not the slightest idea of the kind of wife you will want by andby. Go into female society if you can find that which will improve you, but not otherwise. You can spend your time better. Seek the society of good men. That is often more accessible to you than the other, and it is through that mostly that you will find your way to good female society.—7'. Titcomé. Tue Devit’s T'ea-Ketrie.—There is, probably, no portion of the continent which affords a wider field for geological research, than the Great Basin of Deseret, or Utah. Ir that solitary, unexplored region are many curious salt lakes, the 1 vestizes of a lost ocean, the waters of which are so strongly impregnated with saline matter that they are little else than immense reservoirs of salt in solution. Vast rivers meander for hundreds of leagues through sterile solitudes, and at length mysteriously disappear in the thirsty deserts. Immense de~ posits of soda cause the water, in certain localities, to seeth and effer~ vesce like boiling cauldrons. Springs of sulphur, and springs of boiling hot water, mountains of show and burning plains, smiling vallies and vast eposites of subterranean ice, these aod a thousand other wonders are to be seen in the great American Basin. Lieutenant Sawtelle of the 6th Infantry, while on the recent march across the continent, at a point about forty miles from where the overland route firat strikes the Humboldt, saw a very singular natural curiusity, which per compliment, we will name the “‘devil’s tea-kettle.” On the very apex of a conical shaped mound, about eighty feet in height, was an unfathomable miniature lake of warm water which had no apparent outlet, or in~ let. The water was quite tepid and perfectly translucent, and its surtace was nearly on a level with the top of the cone which contained it. Various attempts were made to fathom this curious basin, but no bottom could be found. ‘ At the distance of forty feet from the base of the mound, were a number of gushing fountains, the water of which was intensely hot. Can aay one explain the mystery of the ‘* devil’s tea-kettle?” — Mountain Democrat. HOTELS. Union Berne San Juan Drug Store! Main street, N orth San J uan MITCHELL & SWAIN. eeeeeeeProprietors.

Although possessed of powerful healing properties, it is entirely harmless, and will not injure the most DELICATE CONSTITUTION, When in perfect health, no effect is produced by its use, except an increase of appetite: but when disease 1s seated in the frame, and carrying fast its victim along the path of life, then its mysterious influence is feit and seen; it enkindles new life and vigor, and brings health and strength to the suffering and diseasel.

I employed two physicians to attend her, who exhausted their utmost skill to give her relief. but it all proved useless. and finally one of them remarked to me that be bad known of some striking cures effected by Sands’ Sarsuparilla, and advised me to try it. I obtained one bottle, which she commenced using, and before it was all used up it had etfected an entire cure. It is now over four years since she was enred, and there has been no reappearance of the disease, and we are satisfied that it is a perfect cure.
