TIE XIX CENrURY.-The August mum.
ber of this beautiful Southern Monthly is
before us; and we venture the assertion
that Magazine more deeply interesting in
every department is not published north
or south of the Potomac. There are no
continued stories, and every article is re-
plete with entertainment. The charm Of
The XIX Century" is that it is not dry.
We have in this number racy personal
sketch of Early Southern authors liom the
pen of William Gilmore Simm$; thrilling
Episode, I'm the Surf" by an officer of the
U. S: Navy the capture o, the blockade
runner Margaret and Jessie; "reminiscences
of Public Men. by distinguished Ex-Gov-
ernor of South Clrolina; Desert pton of
Medical Life in Paris, by Professor +. T.
Porchcr Personne's "Shoulder to >houl-
er :" some pleasant thoughts about Shelley,
the Poet; tale ofthe Greehln Arcbipela.
10 and score of other good things CAL
culated to enliven the freside, and make
men and women think.
The leading newspapers of the North,
evidently asionished that any 6 ,od can
come "out of Nazareth have bestoU ed un-
qualified praise on the Magazine, have re-
published its articles, and declare il to be
eonal to the best periodicals published in
America. Let our Southern people see TO
it that THE XIX Century" receives their
hearty support. Copies may be found at

Reply to MY Life is like the Sum-

BY MRS. BUCKLEY.

8 The dews ofnight may fall from heaven,
Upon the withered roses bed,
And tears of loved regret be- given,
To mourn tile virtues of the dead;
Yet morning sun the dews will dry
And tears will fade from sorrows eye;
Affections pang be lulled to sleep,
And even love forget to weep. ..,.....:
The tree may mourn its fallen leaf r:
And autumn winds bewaif its bFoom,
And friends may heaye the sigh of grief
Ger those ho<leep beneath the tomb ;
Yet soon viii spring renew the flowers,
And time will bring more smiling honrs;
In friendships heart all grief will die,
And even love forget to sigh. ..
The sen may on the desert shore
Lament each trace it bears>away;
The lonely heart its grief may pour
Ger cherished friendships fast decay !;
Yet when all trace is lost and gone, -
The waves dance bright and gaily on;
Thus soon affections bonds are torn, ..
Aud even love forgets to mourn.

TALLEYRASD.-Much has been written about
the mental pecuiarities of the Prince Talley.
rand. The academician, N. S. Beuve, in a late
study, gives the following curious details on the
physiology of the Prince:
He had the singular faculty of sleeping but
little; he passed the night at cards or in talking
He rarely went to bed before four o'clock in the
morning and yet was up again at an early hour.
His pulse had the singularity of being very full,
and OF intermitting every sixth beat. On this
subject he had a theory of his own; he consid-
cred this skipping of the sixth pulsaton as a
stop, as resting of nature, and he claimed that
the pulsations which were lost, and which were
his due, would be made up to him in the end,
and would therefore prolong his life- de e1r
planned, also, by this fact, his little need {, OF
sleep, if nature had taken its sleep IN oeta'i'

Neglected Mining Interests.

The fable concerning the man who sought
Dame Fortune all over the world, and re-
turning found her sitting at his door, is fire.
quently exempli6ed in the mines as well as
in other ways. 1t is the unvarying testimony
of Trinitarians, who from time to time have fol-
lowed the different mining excitements which
rage yearly, that our county offers more induce
ment TO miners than any other part of the coast.
In this view the suhjoined communications to
the San Francisco Times will be found pertinent
and sugge stive
Why is it that our people are so excitable, re-
garding everything pertaining to mining interests
outside of our own State, while just as good, if
not far better, are neglected at home? The old
adage proves correct that " Distance leads en-
chantment to the view" am led to these re-
marks by recent tour through Placer county,
California, and observing that. where once there
were thousands oc men at work, now all seems
silent and deserted.
We old Ca,ifornians have all heard of the rich
diggings in g Shirt Tail Canon" mot far from
Iowa Hill,) Yankee Jims, ETC., etc. The canon
above mentioned was worked from 1850 to 1856,
with great success. Probably not less than
81 900, 900 were taken therefrom and yet it was
only partially worked. Large nuggets were
by dollars. But mining excitements sprang up
and this quarter abandoned. All the hills
for miles around have been worked for the past
ten or twelve years, and the tailings from thou
sands OF claims have poured through this canon,
until now it is covered to the depth of fifty feet
or more in many places, all of which would pay
immensely if worked properly. The expense of
working would be mere nothing, there are
tons of quicksilver all through these tailings,
and water from the hill digengs all the year,
which is free. I do not hesitate to say that
there is gold to the amount of at least two mil
lions of dollars, lying here in the above canon,
the owners Gf any-and sign-boards indicate
there are) seem not to have energy, or the dis
position to expend little capital to realize mil
lio2s. Tailings and rich canon offer n GER
tainty, while White Pine does not. But oul
own State must be neglected. Wild goose
chases, with vast expenditures of money, mus
be made, while near home every thing must bt
neglected. However, the day is not far distan
when a new class of people (emigrants from The
East by railroad) will come in. and stop along
the line of the road, and light upon neglected
and deserted ground, and meet with success as
they will deserve. Our people will then wish
ment of our own mines. Hundreds of places are
lying idle, just the above, either from lack OF
knowledge, or from want of enterprise to work
them. quote the above merely as an illuStra-
tion Of what might be accomplished if we would
only turn our energies in the proper direction.

Fa senable Inmodesty.

Dick Frenci worn roue that be is, has joined

He asserts th4 all women are represented by
these. He hiRis that he understands the lures

cursed hard o. . fellow" he says, "the extrav-
agance of the2a women won't allow man to

of true-love and marriage some day, hid away fnr
her heart. There is not one of the French's
crew whom. she would marry. When she un-
clothes herself immodesty and surrenders her
person to their touch, she has no ultcrior pur-
pose beyond the Intoxicating pleasure Of the
moment. Custom has made her eyes familiar
with indecency-worn away the defensive in
stinct of purity with which every woman is
born but that is the worst that can be said of
her. Yet, if her own blood be such ice that the
exposure of her person has no power to bring
blush to her cheek does it matter nothing to
her that pleased, unclean eyes rest on her, that
half OF the meu who look on her mistake her
motives, and pity the degradation she undergoes
in her effort to please them?

The state Of society which can make Swinburne
possible can bear few plain words without de-
detriment 10 its modesty. 1t is true that the
evil is as yet confined to our large cities. God
forbid that the fashionable fast girls cf New
York or Chicago should be received as the typ-
cal women of America. She bears the same
proportion to the women of the States that the
feverish outbreak on the face does to the whole
healthy, weet-booded body. But this society
assumes to stand foremost in refinement and
culture, and cannot object to have its claims
tested Besides, the feverish taint will spread.
Men, think, have some claims to be heard in
this matter. The most debased among them
will hold one thing sacred-thc honor Of his
wife. He has a right to demand that it come 10
him untainted. Dull and plain fellow as is John
he has right to claim from the woman whom
lie marries, and from the mother who rears her,
that she shall not have been put in the market
to parade her shape like an animal that she
shall not have had her person handled by every
roue who frequents the ballroom that he shall
not receive her hackneyed and brazen from fir
tations and that her mind shall be clean as her

Kiss HIN For HIS MoTHER.-lt was very
pretty and very pious conceit of that dear old
lady who kissed the dead youth for his mother.
So forcibly has it appealed to popular admiration
since, that incousiderable number of live
young men have had the same affectionate caress
bestowed on them, out of respect for the same
venerable relative. A striking example of this
was afforded few evenings since by young
lady who enjoys the undivided affections of
handsome downtown clerk. 1t so happened
that weeks ago his mother died. His
heart was consoled in this great bereavem ent by
the affectionate sympathy of his employers fas-
cinating daughter. 1t is not strange that this
sympathy at last ripened into love. The par
ents noted and approved their daughters choice,
but wisely kept their own counsel. The inter-
esting relations, however, were destined to come
to light in a way least expected. One evening
the young couple enjoying pleasant tete-
a-te,e in secluded nook of the parlor The old
gentleman, happened, by the merest accident, to
step in and take a seat unobserved by the young
people. Suddenly his attention was arrested by
one Of those prolonged and luxurious kisses
which only lovers ever exchange.
"What noise is that?" the parent loudly ex-
claimed.
Silence like death.
az say, Julia, what noise is that 2"
"S-i-r-sir u
What are you doing there2'
''N-o-t-h-i-n-g, sir ~
''Who are you kissing there?'
Only-only William, sir his mothers dead,
you know-and-and thought it wouldn't be
wrong to kiss him for her, yoI know, sir ~
I" Humph u and the old gentleman took his
leave doubtless thinking how fortunate the de-
ceased lady was to be so affec;onately re-
membered. d.-New Orisaa, Plcayune.

Training.

A New York paper says: Every athlete has
some peculiar kink which he considers is the
best way TO get into condition. Some are
brought down By composition powder" sweats
others by purgng salts and hard work, and then
build up again to the proper strength. Now the
end to be gained is to reduce fat and make
muscle.
In the first place, composition powder renders
the patient liable to severe colds. Therefore the
safest system is a thorough purgation by salts.
Then comes the grandest work of the trainer,
the 50 building up" of the man, and this is done
by the food he eats, tempered with exercise.
BY exercise the portions of the food which are
not nutricious are thrown off by every breath
and through every pore.
Food is divided into three classes
First-Carbonates that class which supplies
the lungs with fuel, and thus furnishes heat TO
the system, and supplies fat or adipose sub
stances.
Second-Nitrates that class which supplies
the waste of muscle.
Third-Phosphates; that class which supplies
the bones, the brains, and the nerves, and gives
vital power, both muscular and mental.
Southern corn produces the most muscle aud
least fat, and contains enough of the phosphates
to give vital power to the brain and make the
bones strong. Mutton is the meat which should
be eaten with Southern corn, and should be
DOileu UT IOusteU Inc proper mOQe TO roast
mutton is to place it into boiling water first uu-
til the gluten OF the meat forms shell, which
retains the juice of the meat while boiling
The nitrates in all the fine -four bread which
man can eat will not sustain life beyond fifty
days; but others, fed on unboted -four bread
would continue to thrive for an indefinite period
1t is immeterial whether the general quantity OF
food be reduced to low, or whether either of the
muscle-making or heat-producing principles be
withdrawn while the other is fully supplied. In
either case the effect will be the same The
man will become weak, dwindle away and die,
sooner or later, occording to the deficiency and
if food is eaten which is deficient in either prin.
ciple, the appetite will demand it in quantity till
the deficient element is supplied All the food
beyond the amount necessary to supply the prin.
ciple that is not deficient, is not only wasted
but burdens the system with efforts to dispose ol
it. Food, therefore, containing the right pro
portion Of heaters and muscle makers is the best
