A Real Western Town.

SIOUX CITY. - What VIII people do
when there is no West to go to? They
won't stay at home; and Just as long as
there is a river to follow up and wilder
ness to explore, the bold pioneers will
''push along, keep moving" The latest
point of attraction this side of the Pacific
is Sioux City, situated on the very con-
fines of civilization, two miles below the
mouth of the Big Sioux river, and the
present upper port of the Missouri. The
Sioux river marks the boundary between
Western Iowa and the Indian Territory,
AID the st. Louis Republican thus speaks
Of the progress Sioux of City and the re-
gion round about:
at is but little over year old, yet it
already contains about eighty houses and
five hundred inhabitants, full of enterprise
and industry. There is steam saw-mill
in constant operation in the centre of the
town, but it cannot possibly supply the
demand for lumber, and the people have
obtained considerable from st. Louis the
past summer, at ost of one hundred
dollars per thousand feet. Lots sell from
tAiOO huHuiCu W llittcii
dollars apiece, the farming in the vicinity is
valued at from twenty to forty dollars per
acre.
carpenters get four dollars per day,
masons seven dollars. Money seems abun-
dant. a newspaper is soon to be started
there. A school house is in process of
building, and the materials for a new church
are now on the levee. A new City is about
TO be laid off opposite Sioux City, in Ne
braska, to be called Pacific City. Ten
miles below this point is fourishing vii
lage, Omadi. 1t has about three hundred
inhabitants. The other important places
in Nebraska. are Florence, Omaha City
and Nebraska City all ofwhich are growing
very rapidly. Omaha City has already
outstripped its much older neighbor, Coun-

Indirect Suicide.

/. Wearing of thin shoes and cotton
stockings on damp nights, and in cool,
rainy weather. Wearing insufficient clo-
thing, and especially upon the limbs and
extremities. -,
2. Leading life of enfeebIng, stupid
laziness, and keeping the mind in an un-
natural state of excitement by reading
trashy novels. Going to theaters, parties,
and balls, in the thinnest possible dress
Dancing till in complete perspiration, and
then going home, without sufficient over
garments, through the cool, damp air.
8. Sleeping ON feather-beds in seventy
nine bedrooms, without ventilation at the
top of the windows, and especially with
two or more persons in the same small,
unventilated bedroom.
4. Surfeiting on hot and very stimula-
ting dinners. Eating in hurry, without
half masticating the food, and eating heart
lily before going to bed every night, when
the mind and body are exhausted by the
tolls of the day and the excitement of the
evening.
5. Beginning in childhood on tea and
coffee, and going from one step to another,
through chewing and smoking tobacco, and
drinking intoxicating liquors. By person.
al abuse, and physical and mental excesses
of every description.
6. Marrying in haste and getting an un-
congenial companion, and living the re-
mainder of life in mental dissatisfaction
Cultivating jealousies and domestic broils,
and being always in a'mental ferment.
Z. Keeping children quiet by giving
paregoric and cordials, by teaching them
to suck candy, and by supplying them
with raisins, nuts, and rich cake. When
they are sick, by giving them mercury, tar
tar emetic, and arsenic, under the mistaken
notion that they are medicines, and not ir-
ritant poisons.
8. Allowing the love of gain to absorb
our minds, so as to leave no time to at
tend to our health. Following an un-
healthy occupation because money can be
made by il.
9. Tempting the appetite with bitters
and niceties when the stomach says, no;
and by forcing food into it when nature
does not demand, and even rejects it.
Commanding between meals. --.-
10. Contriving to keep in continual
worry about something or nothing. Civ
ing way to fits of anger.
II. Being irregular in all our habits of
sleeping and eating. Going to bed at
midnight and getting up at noon. Eating
too much, too many kinds of food, and
that which is too highly seasoned.
II. Neglecting to take proper care of
ourselves, and not apply early for medical
advice when disease first appears. Taking
celebrated quack medicines to degree of
making drugshop of the body.
13. The above causes produce more
sickness, suffering and death, than all epi-
denies, malaria, and contagion, combined
with war, pestilence, and famine. Nearly
all who have attained to old age have been
remarkable for equanimity of temper, cor
rect habits of diet, drink, and rest-for
temperance, cheerfulness, and morality.
Physical punishment is sure 70 visit the
trarsgressor of natures laws. All commit
suicide, and cut off many years of their
natural life, who do not observe the means
of preventing disease and of preserving

The Ruins ofNinevah.

The steamship "Soho" has just arrived
at London with the last consignment Of
Assyrian antiquities from the ancient Min
evah. They consist of about fifty cases OF
the most artistic sculptures yet discovered
in the earliest postdiluvian city, represent
ing the Queen of Assyria feasting under
the shadow of the vine, the King engaged
in lion chase, and after in the act of pour
ing forth Gbation. There is also spen-
did and almost unbroken hunting series,
comprising not only lions, but wild asses,
caught in moose or lasso; also process
sion of the sportsmen bearing away birds,
hares, etc, with their dogs, nets, and other
implements of capture and pursuit. But
still more interesting than these treasures
of antiquity are the slabs bearing the infa-
nous inscription on the winged bull at the
entrance of the palace Senacherib, record
ing his memorable expedition against Hez-
ekiah, the sovereign of Judah, in which
10000 of his warriors, "unsmote by the
sword" in single night, ''melted like
snow in the glance of the Lord" an event
so sublimely described in the "Hebrew
melodies" of Byron:
"And there lay the stecd with his nostril all wde
But through it there rolled not the breath OF ms Iuo'
And the foam OF his gasping lay white on the tur,
And cold as the spray the rotk-beaten surf
Aud there lay the rider, distorted and pale, -.
With the dew on his brow and the rust on ms usui
And the tents all silent, the banners alone
The lances unified the truurets unblown'

SHORT PRAYERs.-It is related of Elder
Knapp that when once speaking of the
prevailing tendency to make long prayers
and remarking that he could find no exam
pie in the Scriptures, he alluded to the
PRAYERS of our Saviour, of the penltent re-
nublican. and of Peter, as examples. Why,
said he. if Peters prayer, when he was on
the water, had been as long as the intro
duction ofsome our modern prayers, before
he got half way through he would have

LONG AGO.
Br CHARLES WILTON.

There was tree, an aged tree,
That once / loved to climb,
And, throned upon its branches three,
To rock them all the time;
To laugh and shout, devoid of fears,
And swing me to and fro
But ali ! twas in my childish years,
That passed so long ago.
I've led merry troop of boys
Through tangled woods and lanes
Too boisterous in our reckless noise
To heed the bramble- pains.
We never cared for garments torn,
An hour the rent would sew;
And we'd no time to stay and mourn
In childhood long ago.
I've climbed the rocks, and lesp'd about.
Frczn jutting stone to stone,
And needed not the warning shout,
Nor marked its earnest tore
For price could conquer danger then.
And joy o'ermaster woe
And thus / dared the deeds of men,
In boyhood long ago.
There's not a brook have not leapt,
Apear my native town
Nor field nor hill where man has slept,
! have not wandered down;
And these as freshly haunt me STILL
And still their forms / know
The brook, the field, the high-peaked hill,
That charmed me long ago.
Ioften think the early days
Were fairy days to me;
That childhood feels enchanted rays
Which manhood can not sec;
For cares and years together come,
In one eniangled flow,
And angel-voices all are dumb
That soothed US long ago.
So long ago. the distant past
Is like pleasant dream,
But on the future still is cast
Its warm and sunny CLEAN;
A CLEAN of sunshine ever bright
To cheer the path below,
And wake anew the truthful light
That led US long ago.

EFFECTS OF THE LATE STORM IN MOBILE BAY

ing: ..u-.z- ...
In the heavy gale of Saturday night the ship Rob
ert Parker lost two anchors and drted foul of the
ship Screamer carrying away her jib-boon, foretop-
gallant mast sfarboard bulwark, etc, and both ships
were seriously injured. The Col. Clay with 900 bales
of cotton for the ship Ida was obliged to seek safety
in Navy Cove, yet even there she was driven high
and dry, although the staple was saved. So heavy
that the sea was breaking in ten fathoms waters and
it is the opinion of the pilots and others best eNpe-
renced in such matters that from Key Westall along
the gulf coast we shall hear of most rghtful disas

back by Capt Hein it is their opinion that few had
been here to tell what happened to her.

New ORLEANS AND JACKSON RAlLRoAD.-The
following, extracted from the Homesyile (Pike CO.,
Missy Independent, of the 2Sth ut., speaks cheer
ngy Of the present and future Of our great Northern
Railroad the completion of which will confer so many
substantial benefits upon city and the country
through which It'll topass.
According to the progress that it seems to be MAX
ing it is quite evident we shall be connected with the
capital of Mississippi, by iron Inks at no distant Pc
Rod Then the road will begin to pay lucratively,
and be able to take care of its future.
Here is what the Independent says:
The Raiiroad.-The editor of the Vickburg Sen
tnel states that he has lately received letter from
Jas. Robb, ESQ., of New Orleans one of the Direc.
tors of the New Orleans and jackson Railroad, in
which he states that he has succeeded in providing
for the speedy completion of this great enterprise
that the iron for the road far Brookhayen is now
on the way, and that the remaining flty-fve miles
from Brookhaven to jackson will be completed by the
first of February, 1858.
| We further learn, from the Gaatin Argus, that
during the past week three companies had broken
ground in the "good work." at different points in
Copiah county, which, with the contract upon which
| Cooke & Buckingham have been actively engaged
for months past makes four sections of the road
now in course of construction within the limits of
that county. The work now appears to be progress
ing along the whole line in right good earnest
Let the Iron Horse speed onward to his destination
We hear his snort and feel his iron tramp only ten
miles west of u.s. and soon he will pass us with the
disdainfu air characteristic of his metal leaving us
where? Who car tell?
