THE FOOTSTEPS Of DECAY.
[The following is a translation (rom an ancient Spanish j
..poem, which, says the Edinburg Review, is surpassed by I
-nothing with whiehwe are acquainted in 'the Spanish
'language, except the " Ode of Luis de Leon."]
,Ohl let the soul its slumbers break-—
Arouse its senses and awake
To see how soon
Life, in its glories, glides away,
And the stern footsteps of decay
Come stealing on.
Aud while we view the rolling tide,
Down which our flowing minutes glicto
Away so fast,
Let us the present hour employ,
And deem each-future dream a joy
Already past.
-Let no vain hope deceive the mind—
No happier-let us hope to find
To-morrow, than to-day.
Our golden dreams of yore were bright,
Like them the present shall delight—
Like them decay.
Our lives like hasting streams must be,
That into one engnlphing sea
Are doomed to fall— •
The sea of Death, whose waves roll on
'O'er king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the river's-lordly tide,
Alike the humble rivulet's glide
To that sad wave;
Death levels poverty and pride—
ThericB and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but a starting places
Life is the running of the race,
And death the goal :
There all our glittering toys are brought—
That path alone, -of all unsought,
Is found of all.
See, then, how poor and little worth
Are all those glittering toys of earth
That lure us here!
-Dreams of a sleep that death must break,
Alas ! before-it bids us wake, 1 '
We disappear.
Long ere the damp of earth can blight,
The cheek's pure glow of red and white
Has passed away :
Youth smiled, and all was heavenly fair—
Age came and laid his finger there,
And where are they ?
'Where is the strength that spurned decay,
The steps that roved so light and gay,
The heart's blithe tone?
'The strength is gone, the step is slow,
- And joy grqws wearisome, and wol
When age comes on !

now was, some twenty years ago, a poor boy
, « w i j n _ _ r
*on the eastern shore of Maryland. Cne of
the strongest and mo'st marked traits of his
character, was an inordinate love of money.
This, however, is the characteristic of tbe
peoplq in them diggins, where they practice
skinning strangers in brisk seasons and skin
ning one another when times are dull.
In the course of time P-was of age,
and thought it abont time to get married. He
went to a neighboring village, and in the
course of time »was introduced t o the da ugh
ter of Judge B-.
" Dang fine.gal 1 77 said the embryo specu
lator to his frieuds, who were gaiaiug him an
entrance among the elite.
" Very.'* 7
" How much might Judge B. be worth ?"
" Why, about ten thousand dollars,' 7 was
tbe reply.
"And how many children has Judge B. ?"
continued the inquirer.
" Three."
"Only three? Three into ten goes three
•times and a third over," mentally ciphered P.
Here was a chance—a glorious chance—
-and he improved it too. He made love to
the beautiful and unsophisticated daughter
of the Judge with all his possessions. Strange
to say, for he was as uncouth a looking cub
as ever went unlicked, his suit prospered aud
they were married.
The honeymoon passed off as all other hon
eymoons do, and they were happy. The
bride was lively and chatty, and often made
allusions to her brothers and sisters. Start
led by some names he thought should not be
in the catalogue of relations, one evening at
tea he said :
« My dear, I thought there were only three
of you?"
'•So there are by my ma, but my pa's first
wife had eight more." "Eleven into ten no
times, and nary one over !" said the astonish
ed P., who jumped up and kicked the chair
over, and groaned in perfect agony. " I'm
sold ! I'm »old 1 aqd—and—a great sight
cheaper than an old bell-wether sheep at
that!" à

A bill has also passed both houses, perma

FROM ALTURAS.
A friend handed us a letter received a fetv
days ago trom an acquaintance living at
Rocky Bar. The following extracts may be
of some general interest:
In my last letter I promised I would try
and post you on this camp and the mines in
tbis section. First, tbe snow is about two
,,
feet deep, consequently it is pretty cold ; and
____.1.. *1 ,a a »not.nn Avnont tKnco that ara
nearly all the arastras, except those that are
housed, have stopped running, which makes
money rather scarce; with that exception 1
hear of no complaint, and the working of the
ledges seems to go along as though nothing
had happened. Cartee, Gates & Co.'s mill
run through one hundred and forty-four tons
of rock from the Ada Elmore, and had ayield
of sixty-five dollars to the ton. You may
consider that very poor over in Idaho city,
since the Gambrinus mill started, but you
must recollect that this rock has been picked
and culled and the best of it ground in an
t „ " " . « 6
arastra. Messrs. Cartee & Co. are desirous
of taking another contract, if the trustees see
fit to give it to them. The Idaho Company's
mill start to crushing in a very few days.
They have considerable rock already out and
plenty more in their ledge. They still keep
up their quarrel with the Emmett Company,
contending that that company is on their
ledge. It is a very fine one, and looks better
as it is developed.
Tbe Comstock is being worked, and bids
fair to be as extensive as any of the Washoe
or Mexico mines.
The Confederate Star ledge is looking as
The Confederate Star ledge is looking as
well as when you were here. Our tunnel is
now 322 feet in the hill, and on the ledge all
the way it is about 200 feet in depth. I
think we have about 500 tons of rock in the
bin, which will average from $75 to $100 per
ton. The last eleven tons of it that I ground
pans me $910 in the arastra. I do not be
lieve the arastra will keep up the expenses of
the ledge much longer, for we are working
twelve men now ( and the water will freeze in
the ditch ere long. J* N. P.
P. S. Whisky and provisions of every de
scription are plenty, but the former prevails.

Thè W. W. Statesman says the snow-storms
on the Blue mountains, have caused the wild
gaine to come down into tbe valleys. Large
cambers of black-tailed deer are among tbe
number.

Established expressly to afford 4he afflicted sound
and scientific Medical Aid, in the ti latmint and
cure of all Private and (fironic Diseases,
cases of secrecy and all sexual diseases
To the afflicted, Dr. W. K. Doherty returns his sincere
thanks to his numerous patients for their patronage, and
would take this opportunity to remind them that lie con
tinues to consult at his Institute for the cure of chronic
diseases of the Lungs, Liver, Kidneys, Digestive and
Genito-Urinnry Organs, and all private diieases, viz : Sy
philis in all is forms and stages, Seminal Weakness, and
all the horrid consequences of self-abuse, Gonorrhoea,
Gleet, Strictures, Nocturnal and Diurnal Emissions, Sexu
al Debility, Diseases of the Back and Lions, Inflamation
of the bladder and Kidneys, etc., etc.; and he hopes that
his long experience and successful practice of many years
will continue to insure him a share of public \ patronage.
By tbe practice of many years in Europe and the United
States, he is enabled to apply the most efficient and suc
cessful remedies against diseases of all kinds. He uses
no mercury, charges moderate, treats his patients in a
correct aDd honorable way, has references of unquestion
able veracity from men of known respectability and high
standing in society. All parties consulting him, by letter
and otherwise, will receive the best and gentlest treat

Dr. Doherty will take pleasure in showing to patients

physicians but without success.

communications will be held most sacred. Dr. Doherty
takes this opportunity of observing, that all lettei H are
only opened and replied to by himself, and the latter us
