BOOSTED PEoPLE.-People who have
been bolstered up and levered up all their
lives, are seldom good for anything in a
crisis When misfortune comes, they look
around for somebody to cling to or lean upon.
If the prop is not there, down they CO.
Once down, they are as helpless as capsized
turtles, or unhorsed men in armOr, and they
cannot find their feet again without assist
ance. Such silken fellows no more resem-
Bile selfmade men who have fought their
way to position, making difficulties their
stepping stones, and deriving determination
from their defeats, than vines resemble oaks,
sputtering rush lights the stars of heaven.
Efforts persisted in to achievements train a
man to self-reliance; and when he has prov
en- to the world that he can trust himself,
the world can trust him We say, there
fore, that it is unwise to deprive young men
of the advantages which result from ener-
getic action, by "boosting" them over Obsta-
cles which they ought to surmOunt alone
No one ever swan well who placed his con-
fidence in a cork jacket; and if, when breast
ing the sea of life, we cannot buoy ourselves
up and try to force ourselves ahead by dint
of our own energies, we are not worth sal
wage, and it is of little consequence whether
we Fsink or swim, survive or perish"

FareweIl.-We,m Meet Again.


'Tis hard to part from friends we love
Without sigh or tear,
But frindship still each feeling moves,
And brings the absent near
Some friendly word of days gone by,
A love we left unspoken,
Still calls the drop to the eye
Affections dearest token.
Though far in other lands l roam
From those l love and cherish,
Fond memOry's wreaths around them bloom,
The idol doth not perish,
But lives enshrined within the heart
When hope itself has fed,
Like some sweet flower which springs and blooms
O'er friendships early dead.
Forgive me if / could not speak
This word of heartfelt sorrow,
To friends I'm parting with to night
And meet not on the morrow.
Each scene of pleasure springs to view
Same as l knew them last,
And memory holds my all of you
Now reckoned with the past.
But yet should happier hours spring up,
And fortune prove but kind,
I'll snatch some joy from sorrows cup,
Though sadness rules the mind.
Yes yes, I trust we'il meet again,
With hearts both warm and true,
No more to feel this parting pain
Or bid again adieu. -.

The Sabbath

With joy hail the sacred morn
Which slowly wakes while all the fields are still;
soothing calm in every breeze is borne,
A graver murmur gurgles from the rill,
And Echo answers softer from the hill,
And softer sings the lnnet from the thorn
The skylark MARBLES in tone less shrin
Hail, light serene Hail sacred Sabbath morn !
The rocks float silent by, in airy drove;
The sun placid lustre shows;
The gales that lately sighed along the grove
Have hushd their downy wings in sweet repOse;
The lowering rack of clouds forgets to move;
So smiled the day when the first morn arose.
, 1864-05-06

He who has plenty of brass can generally
get it off for gold.
A great man is most calm in storms, a
little one most stormy in calms.
Grant is making breaches in the rebel
Notifications for the last legs of the South
ern Confederacy.

CURE FOR NAILS GROWING INTO THE
FLEsH.-An eminent French physician has
published an account of the efficiency Of the
sesquichoride of iron for curing the growth
of the nails into the flesh, and as it is of i'm
portance to both the soldier and the citizen,
we give the result of an experiment by an
army surgeon. He says: 4 may here re-
mark that ulcers about the nails are occa-
sionally observed among our soldiers, hav-
ing escaped the attention of the medical
boards or being caused by the pressure of
the boot during forced marches Under
these circumstances a prompt and painless
cure may be effected by inserting the dry
sesquichlOride between the nail and the pro-
truding flesh, and powdering the latter with
the same substance. A large bandage should
be applied over all, not impregnated with
the liquid sesquichloride of iron; precau-
ton which may, however, be useful, as the
folds of the band dry rapidly, and preserve
their situation in more exact manner On
the following day the exhuberant flesh is
found to have acquired the hardness of
wood; suppuration speedily ceases, and a
cure follows after two or three applications.
This simple and mild treatment is obviously
far preferable to the numerous surgical pro
cedures hitherto recommended. In the
course of four or five days, Or in week at
the farthest, the original pain ceases, the
swelling subsidies, and the patient is able to
walk. Naught remains but the hardened
protruding flesh, which falls away about
month after the application of the sesqui-
chloride of iron"

A City IN THE Rocky MOUNTAINs.-
The resident population Of Virginia city,
Nevada Territory, on the 1st Of July, was
estimated at $4,000, the daily average num-
Der 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, crowded with every grade and
description Of people, large proportion be-
ing elegantly y-dressed males and females
The buildings of Main street are mostly
brick, the first story iron, open in front.
This gives a 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
story brick and front fre-prOOf now going
up, all have one or both of these indispensa-
Bile features Some of the streets are so
blocked up with lumber, brick and mortar,
that teams are at times unable to get along
Common laborers get from 81 to S4 day,
without board The city supports four daily
newspapers, theatre, opera house, several
churches, and number of negro minstrels
and melodists, to say nothing Of the institu-
tions already enumerated above. At Wells
& Fargo's banking house and express office
it is not uncommon to see tons of "silver
bricks wheeled in and out in the course of
an hour These "brick" in shape resemble
the ordinary friedrich; but are much larger,
and from nine hundred and eighty five to
nine hundred and ninety per cent. fneness,
which is from ten to fifteen per cent. pure

paid in $40 pieces.
