waiting for n Cave.
(Vicksburg Herall.)


Three or four days ago, within two or
three miles Of this city, Washington
street merchant, who had business in the
country, came to a small creek beside
which a native was washing his shirt
The man was sousing the garment up
and down and around, and as he ''soused"
he whistled merry tune.

shirt inquired the merchant, as he hal

"Not allus, but old Bet has got one o

Have Purpose I'm Life.

Young man, have you purpose in life2
What do you intend to be or do? The
question strikes you, perhaps. with some
thing OF novelty. Yet it is the great one
on which your future place in the world
depends If mo life purpose is yet formed
in your mind. it is full time that you sat
down and spend a season in grave refec-
ton. Without an earnest purpose, noth-
ing worth accomplishing can be done in
this world. Thought, will, energy, work
these sfe the elements ofsuccess-these
are thesmaterials out of which men con-
struet their fortunes; and if you are
dreaming Of wealth, honor or position in
the future, and have not these to build on
and build with, advancing years will see
the beautiful structure that now rises
pleasantly in your fancy fading away like
the "bsseless fabric of a vision"
A young man inquired Of Daniel Web

iession. YES" replied the statesman,
plenty of room in the upper stories.
And so. in the several callings, trades
and professions, there is plenty Of room
in the upper stories. But only lew have
the energy to climb up and occupy them.
All honor to the fewl
We hear daily the complaint, that all
professions and all branches Of industry
are crowded. And so they are. with the
aimIess ana mediocre. But there is plen-
'ty OF room in all Of them-in the upper
stories-verge and scope enough for live
men, with talent. earnestness and will
Unhappily the larger number of our
young men are wasting their leisure hours

ter, opera, or the ball, or IN the compa-
ny of idle men or frivolous women, con-
tent if they can reach the dignity of an
operate criticism, or talk learnedly OF
the reading and acting of some favorite
wearer of the sock and buskin. A poor
aud mean ambition this; no wonder the
intellect is dwaried that has in it no bet
ter aspiration.
A few years will pass, and then we may
look for the great company OF these aim
less ones, but look in vain. Their mark
will be seen omewhere upon society,
their names be heard when the world s

tent. young man, to be numbered with
themf Ifnot, grid up your loins, and in
good earnest seek to acquire the utmost
ability in your art, calling or profession
Let each day see you advancing in skill
and knowledg; and as certain as the sun
shines or the water runs. you will rise
above the common mass. And just in
the degree that your motives are honor

ness to success in life.

The Great want Of the Age Is Men.


Men who are not for sale, men who
are honest, sound from centre to circum-
ference, true to the hearts core, men
who will condemn wrong in friend or
foe, in themselves as we'll as others;
men whose consciences are as steady as
the needle to the pole; men who will
stand to the right, ifthe Heavens totter
and the earth reels; men who can tell
the truth and look the world and the
devil right in the eye; men that never
bras nor run; men who never flag nor
finch; men who can have courage
without whistling for it. and joy with
out shouting to bring il: men in whom
the current of everlasting life runs still,
and deep, and strong; men too large
for certain limits, and too strong for Ger
tain bands; men who will not seek to
make their voices heard in the streets,
but who will not fail or be discouraged
till judgment be set in the earth; men
who know their message, and tell it;
men who know their duty and do it;
men who know their places. and fill
them; men who know their own BUSH
ness; men who will not lie; men who
are not too lazy to work and too prond
to be poor; men who are willing to eat
only what they have paid for

PIPER's OPERA HOUSE. = To-
morrow Monday evening, the
Alleghanians commence an engage
ment at the Opera House. Wher-
ever they have exhibited they
bring forth enconiums as follows,
which we clip from the Reno
estate Journal :" "This troupe so
long and favorably known in the
Eastern States, now en- route for
San Francisco and towns on the
Pacific Coast, gave one of their
select concerts at Dyer's Theater
last evening to a crowded house.
The quartette singing, the bell
ringing and the music discoursed
by the ladies and gentlemen's Silver
Orchestral Band was we'll rendered
and fully sustained the high repu-
tation which they hold among
musical people while the comicali-
ties of their comedians raised the
audience to the highest pitch of
side-splitting laughter. The mu-
steal glasses is a novel feature in
their concerts which must be heard
to be appreciated"

BULLION SHIPMENT.-J.W w. Griei

BULLION SHIPMENT.-J.W w. Grier,
Agent Wells, Fargo & Co., shipped
for the month ofFebruary from their
Office in this place, S29, 500 in bull
ion. On Friday he shipped six bars
of Crown Point, valued at S17,O33,
and two bars of private, valued at
S2S33, making total of Sl9,S66. AS
this bullion mostly comes from the
Pioneer Mill, it is not fair report
of the bullion shipment ofthis place,
for the simple fact that there are
four other mills with equal capacity
now running in the limits of this
town, and it is said that the ore
being reduced at three of these mills
is far richer than that extracted from
the Crown Point mine. The Bacon,
Trench and Kelsey mills are now
reducing Consolidated Virginia ore,
and the sherman, ore from the Com
pany's mine-the Santiago. 1t will
be but a short time before we are
able to give a better showing for our
camp.
