SILVER IN UTAH.

The recent discoveries of Silver in
Utah, says the New York Sun, are at
tracing ) the attention of capitalists,
and within few months important
progress has been made in the work
of developing the metallic riches of
that Territory. d77 .slgsi t-lasI - !.
The Salt Lake valley is bordered
on the east and west by ranges of
mountains that promise to yield inn
mense qualities of argentiferous ores.
Indeed, it is impossible rs yet to place
a limit to their probably productive
capacity ;but there is good reason to
suppose that silver veins run through
their entire extent. AT Little Cot
tonwood Canon, in the Wahsatch
mountains, seventeen miles southeast
of Salt Lake City; there is a mine
which has been carried down 230 feet,
and from which 5000 tons per day of
argentiferous galena are now taken
out. This ore yields in silver from
$3.50 to $3.50 per ton. Upon the oppo-
site side of the valley, Sixty miles
from Salt Lake City, in the Oquirrh
Mountains, is hill called Silver
Mountain, where sulphurets and chlo-
rides of silver have been found in
great quantities and of extraordinary
richness. Some of these ores have

MoNGREL1sM IN FLORIDA.

1t is doubtful whether his Satanic
Majesty or any Of his Internal agents
could compete with the Abolition
scallawags and carpet baggers of the
South in tho ingenuity and audacity
of their contrivances TO defeat the
popular will and beat the people out
of their right to elt-governmcnt., In
Florida the thing has been carried to
an extent that would make an Abys-
siuian blush visibly. The Democrats
elected their candidates for Govern
or, Lieutenant Governor, and Dem
ocratic majority in both branches of
the Legislature by q clear and decided
majority of the popular vote, not
withstanding the negroes of all ages
and either sex voted the regular Nom
grel ticket. But the Abolition thieves
who had possession of the State Gov
ernment did not propose to surrender
their stolen offices; and deliberately
stole, secreted or destroyed enough of
votes from the returns of uine coun-
ties to change the result and nullify
the popular win. To this high.hand.

THE mocking bird of Florida is de-
scribed as rather a dissipated charac-
ter. He forages about, singing in his
n ,ighbor's vineyard while he rob h m,
until the berries of the Pride-of- Chi
ma tree are ripe, then he proceeds to
have regular frolic, acquires habit
of intoxication, and gets as drunk as
lord. 1t is curious to see flock OF
these birds at this time. They be-
come perfectly tipsey, and fly round
in the most comical manner, hic-
coughing and staggering just like
men, mixing up all sorts of songs
and interrupting each other in the
most impudent manner, without any
regard to the politeness and decorum
that usually mark the intercourse oi
all weil-bred society, whether of birds
or men. They will fly about promis-
cuously, intrude on domestic relations,
| forget the way home, and get into
each others nests and families, just
/ like the lords of creation. After the
berries are all gone, and the yearly
/ frolic is over, they look very penitent,
make many good resolutions. join the
temperance society, and never in
dulge again until the next season
comes round, and the berries are ripe
J once more.

THE DYING NEVER WEEP.

1t is striking fact that the dying
never weep. The sobbing, the heart
breaking agony oftbe circle of friends
around the daath bed, call forth no re
sponsive tears from the dying. Is 1t
because he is already insensible and
stiff in the chill of dissolution That
can not be; for he asks for his fathers
hand, as if to gain strength in the
mortal struggle, and leans OH the
breast of mother, sister or brother,
in still conscious affection. just be-
tore expiring, he calls these loved
ones and with quivering lip says
kiss mel" showing that love which
he has ever borne in his heart is still
warm and fresh. 1t must be because
the dying have reached point too
deep for earthly sorrows, too trans
cendent for weeping. They are face
to face with higher and holier things,
with the Father in Heaven and his
angels. There is no weeping in that
blessed abode to which he is hasten
ing. ai

THE SEA ENcRoACHING UPON ENG
LAND. ta1 sAHd yli4

/ The Pal Mall Gazette says.
-"House property must be a precari-i
ous investment at Whitby, judging
from the great destruction of prop
erty that has just occurred there ow-
ing to a landslip. "A great portion Of
the East Cliff seems to have taken
header into the sea, carrying with il
part ofa churchyard, a field and sew
eral houses. The last great land slip
at Whitby occurred in 1857, and tho
present one is only the continuation
of q process which has been going on
for many hundreds of years. The Sea
is steadily gaining OH the land Of the
east coast of England, especially
where the geological formation is not
of kind that offers great resistance.
But in its attacks on high rocky coasts
such as Whitby presents, after q long
period of gradual undermining, q sud-
den catastrophe eIsues. al The land
cracks at the base, the houses on il
slip down, and the rock above cracks
and topples over, or sinks abruptly,
leaving vast fissure or depression.
From Hull nearly up to Flambor-
ough the coast is like a bank compos-
ed of sand, pebbles, &c, and village
after, village has been silently SWEEP
away. According to professor Phil
lips, this waste is calculated as going
onsat the rate of about s'two and,
half yards in tho year. which upon
thirty-six 5 miles of coast would
amount to thirty acres. One mile in
breadth has been lost since the Nor
man conquest, and two miles since
the Romans occupied = Eburacum%
KiIusa finally, disappeared in, 1886.
Ravenspurum and Outhorne, with its
church and burial ground have van
ished.I On ooldAYorkshire maps the
words are still to be seen, "Here stood
Auburn, which was washed away By
the sea !" "Hartburn, washed away
by the sea ;" Clyde, lost IN the sea-"
In ancient documents mention is
made of other pIaces-Frismerk,
Tharlcsthrope, Redmayr, Pennysmerk
Upsal, Pottersf1eet.-sN None of them
are to be seen at the present day. On
the other hand it. is stated that the
sea isreceeding on our Western coast.
If this double action continues, it may
be in the future that Liverpool will
find itself an inland town, with q
dried-up harbour, when hornsea,

names of the past.so 10 qH h9qqe

OLD TIMES.

Rosy hours Of youth and fancy.
Happy hours of Long Ago!
All. the playful. pictured memories
Let us catch them as they fow-
Galaxies of blue-eyed Marys,
With a Julia or Jane,
Or a troop of little Lauras
Laugh and blush and ro,np again.
Moonlight meetings. evening rambles.
When the night was still around,
And a sweet voice, softly murmuring,
Or kiss the only sonnd. r
These remember, and remember,
How the kind stars shown above,
Keeping, in their softened splendor,
Watch and ward upon our love.
Youth is as a diamond daHning--
Bold it breaks as gorgeous day;
Heavenly lights of power and beauty
Glance and CLEAN along its way.
Far within tt e mighty future
There be solemn voices heard; 49,
Shaped to many stately anthem,
Floats the music Of word,
But that mnsic, in the present, =. esses ssstr
Softly droops, with sad decay,
TIL its echo in the spirit
Faints and falls and dies away.
Green be then the, tender memory
OF the Past forever sped; E.i'g
That our youth may be immortal, -.
Though its days and dreams are dead.

. .idDIsTRIBUTE Your WEALTH-It is
the fashion with thosezwho are boun-
ltifully supplied with the worlds
goods, to put off the exercise of be
nevolence until death summons them
to shuttle off this mortal coil. 1t has
been well said that generous, up
right, liberal, patriotic and useful life,
proves greater benefit to the commu-
nifty than testamentary bequests of
boarded gold, however large. There
fore, it is best to spend Intelligence,
time, and as far and fast as one can
afford to do so, gains of all kinds Is
you go. The harvest sowed by the
wayside as you travel on will be q
cheerful sight, seen even from the
edge of the grave. Grateful society
is courteous enough to eulogize gifts
made at the last moment and to attri-
butte to the givers the finest of mo-
tives: and yet it would not harm the
