"Sweet Jaannie, all nature's so lovely to-night I
The earth is apparelled in raiments of light,
And tbe heavens are beaming and blue ;
The breezes are sporting among the green

The nightingales' music is floating in showers,
Sure everything's happy ami new."
so they appointed one of their number a
leader, and broke off from tbe main party.
This leader determined to turn due west,
so with tbe people and wagons and flocks
he travelled for three days, and then de
scended into the broad valley, whose
treacherous mirage promised water.
They reached the centre, but only the
white, glaring sand, bounded by the
scorching peaks, met tlicir gazo on every
band. Around the valley they wander
ed, and one by one the men died, and
panting flocks stretched themselves in
death under tbe hot sun. Then the cbil
drai crying for water, died at their moth
ers breast, and with swollen tongue ami

aa after wagon was abandoned, and strong
men tottered, raved and died. After a
week's wandering a dozen survivors found
water in the hollow of a rock, la a moun

perished but two, who by some miraculous-
means got out of lh valh-y and . fol

FEMALE SOCIETY.
There is no malady which causes so
larjre a mortality as consumption. Sta-
tistiea show tbat throughout the civilised
world, an average of one death in six, ev
ery sis in ttie lists of mortality, may be
attributed to its agoncy. Though our
own city shows a smaller average from
this scourge, yet it is computed that even
here it is the cause ot one death in very
seven or eight. It was formerly consid
ered an iuctirable disease, and was often
left hopelessly to run its fatal course un
checked ; but modern investigation mid

science uuve proven uiai me tubercular
deposit, to which all its dread results may
bo traced, will frequently diminish under
suitable treatment. This is farther prov
ed by post mortem examination, where
death has occurred from other causes, in
which the lutigs, scarred and puckered, at
tested the healthy closing of two and even
three large tubercular cavities. Few are
aware how much the prevention and even
the cure of this dread disease depends up
on their own efforts. An eminent Atuer-

Wiliani Makepeace Thackeray, thedis-
ished satirist, writing to a young
d of the influence and importance of
ale society, uses the following truth
ful as as well as beautiful language. We
quote it here as a reason young men, es
pecially while at school or college, should
'endeavor to cultivate the acquaintance of
respectable women not the young only,
bat even those more advanced in life. If i must be proportiouably
an impossibility, even though hereditary
biUuencc may predispose him to ft, and
that eveu those who are already under its
grasp may have hope of arresting its rav
ages. The plain and simple principle,
which in this case is the essence of all
wise treatment, is to raise the physical
system to the highest possible vigor. Ia
company with his, one oi the best cura
tives and preventives is to expand and
strengthen the lungs themselves by deep
inspirations or breathing iti ot pure air.
These inspirations should bo made as
slowly ns possible through a small tube,
or with the mouth nearly closed, and with
the, shoulders thrown back and down
wards. When the lungs or chest are fill
ed, the air should be as slowly and grad
ually breathed out. Ry cmtinUiil prac

VALLEY OF DEATH.
EigHHks northeast of Camp Cady,
on tue siojave river, uainornia, there is a
Well known and dreaded "Death Valley."
It is said to be lower than the level of the
sea, and wholly destitute of water. The
Valley is some fifty miles long by, thirty
In breadth, and save at two points, it is
wholly encircled by mountains, up whose
sides is impossible for any but expert
eltmbers to ascend. It is devoid ot veee
tatiou, sud shadow of bird or wild beast
never darkened its white glaring sand. In
the early days trains of emigrants bound
for California passed, under the direction
of guides, to .he south of Death Valley,
by what is known as the "Old Mormon
Road." In the year 1850 a Urge train,
with some three hundred emigrants, most
ly from Illinois and Missouri, came 'south
from Salt Lake, raided by a Mormon.
When near Death Valley a dissent broke
oat ia part of tbe train, and twenty-one
families came to the conclusion that the
Mormon knew nothing about the country,
air at first enters the lower part of th
lungs it only fills the apex after a long
and sustained effort, and hence, the neces
sity of making the inspiration as slow as
possible. Six times a day in the open-air
is not too much for this exercise Indeed
the great advantage of mild or dry climates
to consumptives is the possibility of pas
sing so much of the time out of doors.
Much is justly said of the puro and bracing-air
of Minnesota, but those who go
there for lung diseases should remember
that only as they breathe; the pure outside
air habitually can it prove beneficial. A
lady with tubercular deposits and severe
cough went there some time-since, and a
month spent in the nidi nary way brought
her Ao improvement. She then joined a
camping pai ty of ladies and gentlemen,
who started in an open wagon, and slept
in tents at night. After throe days' ex
posure to tins open air sue manifestly un

GOLD AND MIXING.
It is difficult to determine in what In
cality gold is most t-li-ntiful. Evidently
but little is yet known ot the extent of
gold lodes; nor of the quantity of gold
fat in this part of the county. Invosiiza
tion by such means as will undoubtedly
secure unparuielied success, has scarcely
commenced. All through a hroid bcjl
extending from the Potomac River abstM
Washington in a Southeasterly direction
across Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia, there seems to be
a complete net work of gold bearing
veins. As yet there have been but weak''
attempts at mining in the South, com
pared with the work and capital expend
ed in California, Colorado or Nevada.
Tho oold niininir interest of North
alone is uA1cieut, if properly
to give profitable employment
to ten thousand men, and pay annual di
vidends of fifty per cent on five millions
of dollars capita!. This statement mJ
appear to be somewhat exaggerated,
therefore our readers shall have the foun
dation on which we build our estimate.
In 1SC8 the first discovery of gold was
made in Colorado. 1 he long nasaage of
oyer 600 miles, from the last settlements
of the Eastern States to the mountains
of Colorado, over a sweeping plain, de
nuded of timber, and yielding only a
precarious supply of food to man, had to
be made with mules or oxen, and r quir
ed from thirty to sixty days. From 1858
to 1SG2 there was a continuous stream of
emigration,' which, from a v iyrety of
causes, was materially checked; during
1863, 'Gi and 'C5. Vow linker fiitv

A STARTLING INSTANCE of THE
J I'STIOE OF J1EAVEN.
From the Bacrros (Ohio) Forum, Febratrr 19.
The retributive justice, of heaven has
never beeu more clearly shown or exem
plified than in the fate of judge aud jury
who acquitted the murderer of the late
lamented Bolmeyer.
The circumstances surrounding the case
are too well known to justify a rehearsal at
this time. Brietily, a brutal beast bearing
the name of Brown, in cold blood and
without the slightest provocation, assas
sinated ii jiineyer on a public street in
Dayton in Rroud daylight, in the pres
ence of numerous witnesses, for the only
reason that Roluuiycr was the editor-in-chief
of the Dayton Empi rc, a Democrat
ic pap. r. Brown, being feurlul of the
just indignation ot the people of Mont
gomery county, prayed lor a change ol
vnue, had his cue transferred to the loy
al county of Miami, after a mock trial
was acquitted by a jury organized for tbat
purpose by a loyal court aud sherifi, not
withstanding the proof of guilt was incon
testable and overwhelming.
This was the judgment of man. Now
witness ihe judgment of Almighty God!
Every juryman on that panel that ac
quitted Brown of the murder of Bolme
yer has since been bereft of reason, met
aa unnatural death, or committed suicide
aud as a fitting cap sto.ie to this arch of
retributive justice, Judge Parsons, who
presided over the mock trial, died a few
days since a horrible death iu tbe Luna
tic Asylum at Dayton.
