Advice 10 Young Nem.

y lady who signs herself ga Mar
tyr to Late Hours" offers the follow
ing sensible suggestions to young
men:
Dear gentlemen between thea ages of
"18 and 49," listen to a few words
of gratuitous remark. When you
make a social call of an evening, on
young lady, go array at q reasonable
hour, Say you come at eight o'clock,
an hour and half is certainly as long
as any of the most fascinating Of you
in conversation can, or rather ought to
desire to use his charms. Two hours,
indeed, can be very pleasantly spent,
with music, chess or other games to
lend variety. But, kind sirs, by no
means stay longer. Make shorter
calls and come oftener. A girl-that
is, sensible, true hearted girl--will
enjoy it better, and value your &C
quaintance more. Just conceive the
agony of a girl who, we'll knowing the
feelings of a father and mother upon
the subject, hears the clock strike ten,
and yet must be compelled to sit on the
edge of her chair, in mortal terror, lest
papa should put his oft repeated threat
in execution, that of coming down and
inviting the young gentleman to break
fast. And we girls understand it all
by experience, and know what it is to
dread the prognostic of displeasure.
In such cases a sigh Of relief generally
accompanies the closing of the door be-
hind her gallant, and one don't ever
forget the trouble till safe in the arms
Of Morpheus. Even then, sometimes,
the dreams are troubled with some
phantom Of an angry father and dis
tressed flor all parties) mother; and
all because young man will make a
longer call than he ought to do. Now,
young gentlemen friends, [ will tell
you what we girls will do. For an
hour and a half we will be most ire
slstable, fascinating and charming ;
then beware, monosyllable responses
will be all You need expect. And if,
when the limits have been passed,
startling query shall be heard coming
down stairs: ''Isn't it time to close
up?" you must consider it a righteous
punishment, and taking your hat meek
ly depart,-a sadder, and it is to be
hoped, a wiser man. Do not get an
cry, but the next time you come be
careful to keep within just bounds.
We want to rise early these healthy
mornings, and improve each s'shintng
hour;" but when forced to be up at |
such unreasonable hours at night, ex-
hausted nature will speak, AID as
natural consequence with the utmost
speed in dressing, we can barely get
down to breakfast in time to escape a
reprlmand from papa-who don't be-
ueve IN beaux-just as though he new
er was young-and mild, reproving
glance from mama, who understands
little better poor daughters feelings,
'ut must still disapprove outwardIy,
o keep up appearances. And now,
7oung men, think about these things,
nd don't-for PHYS sake, DON'T
brow down your paper with 'pshaw..'
ut remember the safe side of ten.

A City in the Rocky Mountains

The resident population ofVirginia,
Nevada Territory, on the 1st of July,
was estimated at Is, 900 the daily ave
rage of transient visitors being as
many more. Main Street, which is
the Broadway and Wall of the city, is
some three quarters of mile in
length, is crowded with every grade
and description, a large proportion be-
ing elegantly dressed males and females.
The buildings on Main Street are
mostly brick, the first story iron, open
in front. This gives light, cheerful
appearance to the street, especially in
the night time when brilliantly lighted
with gas. Many of the buildings in
the city are provided with vaults and
salamanders; the four and five story
brick and iron front fire-proofs now 60
ing up all have one or both of these in
dispensible features. Some of the
streets are so blocked up with lumber,
brick and mortar, that teams are at
times unable to get along; common La
borers get from four to five dollars per
day without board.
The city supports four daily news
papers, theatre, opera house, several
churches, any number of negro min
strels and melodeons, to say nothing
of the institutions enumerated above.
No one who has not been there can
form an idea of the amount of treasure
to be seen in passing through Main
street. AT Wells and Fargo's bank
ing house and express Office, it is not
uncommon to see tons of silver bricks
wheeled in and out in the course of al
hour. These ''bricks,'' in shape re

INDIAN SUMMER.

There is time just when the frost
Prepares to pave old Winters way,
When Autumn, in reverfe lost,
The mellow daytime dreams away
When summer comes in musing nina.
To gaze once mofeson hiH and deil'
To mark how many sheaves they oihu'
And see if ell are ripening ven
With balny breath she whispers low
The diving flowers look up and give
Thair syeetest incense ere they go,
For she hath made their beauties live.
She enters meath the woodland shade,
Her zephyrs lift the lingering leaf.
And bear it geStly where are laid
The loved and lost ones of its grief.
At last old Autumn rising, takes
Again his sceptre and his throne,
With boisterous hand the tree he shak es.
Intent on gathering all his own.
Sweet Summer, signing, flies the plain,
And waiting Winter, gaunt and grim,
Sees nliser Autumn hoard his grain,
And smiles to think tbs all for him.
