chased some ice recently, and finding it very

WHY DON'T BUSINESS REVIVE.

People are wondering why bushes, does
not return to its former hourishing state
Money is abundant in all financial centres.
Crops arc good throughout the world. Fire
and pestilencc have withheld their DESTROY
ing hands. Discoveries of Gold, and tri-
umphs of Science almost weekly occur to
bcwilder the world, and create the idea that
we live in an age of enchantmcnt, when mi
raculous wealth and power were to be had
for the wishing.
Then why does not business revive? Why
does not everybody have plenty to do? Why
is it so difficult to organize any system Of
speculaton-any plan of productive indus
try? Why is it so hard to get along with
the ordinary avocations of life, economised
rs they have been by the severe lessons of
the last year? 1t is difficult problem to
solve; but there IS a reason somewhere
St. Louis Ners.
The reason is found in the general feel
ing Of dlStruSt, the want of confidence of
man in man, caused by recent dlsappoint-
ments in financial matters. Man is slow to
forget an injury, and where his confidence
is impaired, it requires time for him to re-
new his trust. 1t is true We have all the
elements OF prosperity in our country, and
i> hAloiS hf'hhCu uCSIcc tuau We Illu TWO
years since: then why should business stag.
nate in every department, and men idly
lounge about and complain of the want of
employment? Is it that money is less plen-
ty? If so, what becomes of all the fine
spun theories of the precious metals being
sufficient to constitute the currency of our
country? Gold is more abundant now than
ever before; silver has not decreased in
quantity, and yet men complain of the scar
city Of money, that there is insufficient to
transact business. The truth of the mat
ter il, men are fearful to extend their bust
ness, they are distrustfu of their fellow
men. Having lost much and perilcd all BY
panic in time Of universal prosperity, they
are fearful to risk anything where all are
complaining of dizziness, and hence the COM
plant of hard times, is one cause of their
sontinuance.- Davenport Gazette.

The Gold Fever Increasing Late and
Important from the Mountains.

Mr.. john HutSon, one OF otir Oldest
citizens. and who for several years pas,
has been rore or less on the plains, arrived
in this city yesterday evening direct from
the gold mines. He says the greatest ex.
citement was manifest all along he route,
from Devils Gap in-ihat gold has been
found on the Medicine Bow, and down tie
South Platte some eighty miles. Mr.. Ben
Clrmeu, (bro'her-in-law 10 Mr.. H. will
arrive here in lew days, with some $500
in gold, which he took ont with nothing hui
camp tonls and pan; that with rocker he
colld have done much better. Some OF the
men III company with Mr. C. took out irnm
iueniy 10 one hundred and fifty dollars a day!
Mr.. Clements was in the mines only twelve
or fourteen days, and succeeded in getting
in ,ha, shor, lime. $3.50 or $500.
Mr.. Huston says shat at Laramie the
greatest excitement prevailed as he came
through on the 9th. Picks and shovels
were wor.h almost their weight IN gold
So great was the excitement that the Quar-
ternas'er a; laramie was compelled to
withhold the pay due The hands in The Gov
eminent empty in order 10 retain them
Most Of the MUM ain traders had repaired
TO the mines. Mr.. II. thinks tina. in ten
or fifteen days large quantities OF the gold
will be seen here, as many are on their
way in. He saw some OF the finest speci.
mems OF quartz that probably ever has been
found in a eold.bsaring region, and one
nugget Of gold, weighing % ounces, taken
ont bya Mr.. Jackson, formerly OF Glasgow,
Mo. There were thought 10 be about 30U
persons IN The mines on the first OF Sep
TENDER. Most Of those who were high up
il Tie mountains he'd been driven down in
10 the valleys by snow storm, which fell
nearly three feet on the 9th.
This intelligence will create an increas ed
iurore among onr people for the gold re-
pions. a. it not only comes from a reliable
source. but speaks more largely Of the sue
cess OF those already there.

Anniversary Of my Mothers Death.

OF let me weep alone to-day,
ask to be alone:
Give Inc q roon from all away,
Save thai dear spirit one"
Come. mother, hover near thy child,
She needs thy tender care:
Loved with passion almost wild, -
Our sorrows dos't thou share?
Say, mother, can il be we weep
Uhseen by thy dear eve?
cinHot think, that love so deep
As thine could ever die;
1t cannot be, the '.Iost % earth,'
Forever sly good bye
To those, to whom they here gave birth,
And nourished tenderiy.
IT'S comfort sweet, 10 think that thou
Our daily steps attend;
When secretly TO God we bow,
And soft our prayer, ascend.
Thy whispers from that 'sun-bright cliime'
Commands us TO be true,
Nor think, that long will be the time
That will Join US with you.
Long months. aye one long year has fed
Since last we gazed on thee:
Flowers have germed. have bioomed. and shed
Their fragrance over thee
And yet. Time sheds no dmming mist
That shrouds thy memory,
Though Death adds yearly 10 the list
OF silent tenantry.
One year. has mother now been dead:
Yet still one comforts left
That though she's in her silent bed
OF hope we're not bereft.
Gods pro Used. and by that we live
Well meet her where's no pam,
If fiithful unto US, He'll give
Our mother back again.
