THE WESTERN GOLD MINEs--A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Times, who has just returned
from Kansas, says the river towns in Kansas and
Nebraska are now crowded with strangers of every
nation, tribe and people, wandering about with a
fororn look, bearing rifles their shoulders, and
making inquiries in regrad to routes to the mines
outfits &c. All the hotels crowded to repetion
and every western train and steamboat is filled
with people. Trains now starting daily from
every important town the Missouri river, in
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri. While
travelling FIVE or six miles ON the great Military
Road leading from Fort Leavenworth to
Fort Laramie, on Thursday last he met four trains
en- route for the mines. In two of them the wagons
were drawn by mules and oxen; in the third, eight
men we're attached to a hand cart which contain
ed their outfits, and was so constructed as to float
the streams. They designed to draw it the
whole distance-700 mies-to Pikess Peak. The
fourth was composed entirely of pedestrians, with
their packs upon their shoulders What will not
men do for gold?
Sensation Preaching.-A correspondent of the
Baltimore Christian Advocate relates of a New
York minister, who desired to make a sen alton in
preaching on the crucifxion:
He instructed the sexton when he got to that
part of the discourse where he describes the dark
ness overspreading the heavens, to draw down the
gas, giving light only enough to make the darkness
visible. The sexton, however, put the gas out
altogether which so confounded the preacher that
he was unable to proceed. Some of the trustees of
the church hurried to the sexton in the lobby, and
inquired what was the matter. Greatly to his
chagrin and modification, as we'll as that Cf
the preacher, he was obliged to explain.

NecessItE on Moral COurage.

A great deal Of talent is lost in the
world for the want of a little courage
Every day sends to their graves a number
of obscure men who have only remained
in obscurity because their timidity has
prevented them from making first effort,
and who, if they could have been induced
to begin, would, in all probability, have
gone great lengths In the career Of fame.
The fact is, that to do anything in this
world worth doing, we must not stand
back shivering and thinking of the cold
and danger, but jump in and scrambIe
through as well as we can. Il will not do
to be perpetually calculating risks and ad-
justing nice chances; it did very well be-
fore the food, when man could consult
his friends upon an intended publication
for hundred and fifty years, and then
live to see Its success afterwards; but at
present man waits, and doubts, and con-
suits his brother and his particular friends,
till one fine day he finds that he is sixty
years of age; that he has lost SO much
time in consulting his first cousins and
particular friends, that he has no time to
follow their adyice.-Sidney Smith.
