-m MEMPHIS TENN. THURSDAY EVENING OCTOBER H. 1871

Many attempts have for years been
made along one hundred miles Of
coast to work these shifting tidal
sands without success. Now rush
of pre-emptors is expected to stake
off claims on the shores of Cali
fornia and Oregon. The sands ex-
tend under the ocean far beyond
low water. But every tide and
every storm so shifts the paying
points that a claim rich to-day may
tomorrow be covered with barren
sands. Nevertheless, auriierous
ocean sands may now be consid-
cred a new and permanent source
of gold production, riyaling and
probably excelling the great aurif-
crows gravel deposits worked by
hydraulic washing. In both it is a
question OF cost in separating and
gathering a small per cent. of gold
dust from an immense body Of sand
and gravel.

A curious elopement took place
in England the other day. An old
gentleman ran away with a young
girl, and to the great disgust of her
parents the couple were not caught
until they were safely married, and
all the indignant papa could do
was to upbraid his daughter for
marrying a man old enough to be
her father, much older, indeed,
than he was himself. A few weeks
of happiness, or the reverse, with
her aged adorer proved enough for
the young bride who continently
ran away with a young fellow she
met at a watering place. There
was, Of course, a great scandal, and
her father came once more to up
braid her with the eHormity of her
behavior. Really, papa" said the
unreasonable yonng person, "there's
no pleasing you; you told me be-
fore you would not have minded il
it had been a young man, and now
when | have chosen a young man
you are just as angry" The father
was disguised with her moral obli-
guilty and left her to her fate.

The auriferous black sands of the
sea shore Of Northern California
have been described in the Sun,
and lately we described machine
that was about being sot up on the
beach to test the practicability of
proftably extracting the exceed
iugly fine gold dust from the sand.
Every effort heretofore has been q
failure. There is gold enough in
those miles Of ocean sand to pay
the national debt If this new pro.
cess proves successful; therefore,
the report of this first practical test
is Of high national importance. The
fine concentrators, after a months
run, gathered twenty tons OF the
sands, well cleansed Of the lighter
parts, which don't pay; so much
that the concentrated tonnage real.

FLIRTATION.

Sin certain sense" says a mod~
ern writer, call attractive females
are more or less hirts." 1t is true
there are some women about as good
looking as the rough side of horse
radish crater who read with glasses
and eat with porcelain teeth, and yet
filrt. There is an excuse for them.
They are obliged to snap at the first
chance like hungry wolves. But
girls who don't have to Jump at
chances hirt because it is pretty
True, it is pretty, and it is right.
1t is a very different thing from be-
in6 a heartless coquette. Flirting
in the sense we mean is the only
way girl has to fad out what her
beau, possibly her future husband, is
like. A man always approaches a
girl dressed 10 society politely, and
tits the girls duty to pierce this thin
coating Of sugar and plum, and learn
what is beneath. She cannot accom-
plish this without flirting.

Mind your tongue! Don't let it
speak hasty, cruel or unkind words.
Mind your eyes! Don't permit
them to look on wicked books, pic.
lures or objects.
Mind your ears Don't suffer
them to listen to wicked speeches,
songs or words.
Mind your lips! Don't let tobac-
CO foul them. Don't let strong
drink pass them. Don't let the
food ct glutton pass between
them.
Mind your hands Don't let
them steal or fight, or write any evil
words.
Mind your feet! Don't let them
walk in the steps of the wicked.
Mind your heart Don't let the
love of sin dwell iu it. Don't give
it to Satan, but ask Jesus to make it
his throne.

MARRY-yes, that is the word
and set up for yourselves, and run a
shebang of your own, is our advice
to all those who have arrived at
marriageble ages. 1t is no odds if
you are poor, marry all the same,
and go to work, and if you have but
one bed to 60 to housekeeping on,
you can soon have another. If you
are poor when you marry it will be
necessary for you to be industrious
and economical in early life, and
you will be apt to follow up these
virtues in ripper years. If you are
rich, or well to do, when you marry,
ten to one you will die a bankrupt,
and your children will be worthless.
Riches in the beginning of life, is
rather a curse than blessing. -
Every man and woman ought to be
taught the value of dollar before
they spend it; and the way to teach
them, is tc let them make it them
selves, and then if they should be
fortunate and get property they will
know how to take care of it.-CleUe-
land Banner.

DISCoUR AGED.

1t is so easy to say, "Never give

word for everybody, when safely

by the love of friends and bottom.
less purse. When sickness passes
by to knock at some other door,
when home is the one sweet, safe
corner in all the world, when there
are those who would suffer that you
might go free-ah then it is quite
easy to feel as if nothing could ever
make you quite discouraged. This
is a beautiful world, aud there are
lots of good things 10 it. Yes, many
son and daughter, few wives and
mothers, and about the same proper
ton Of husbands and fathers, do live
more in the shine than in the shadow
of life. But there are so many, so
many more who have to buckle on
their armor, and spend their best
life's blood 10 the daily life. Such
bitter trials as men and women do
live through Who can doubt that
heaven sends them their fortitude z
1t cannot be Of earth. Such strains
Of heart and brain as hearts and
brains do still bear up under! Is it
any wonder that weary hands some>
times fall despondingly, and weary
heads bow discouraged ? Oh! ye,
whose paths are in pleasant places !!
whose faith was never tried by
heavens seeming disregard by your
prayers and tears who never knew
the lack of tender home -loye and
protection, exult in your happiness
and thank Providence. But while
you drink from your cup of life
such honey sweet draughts, give
thought now and then to those whose
daily portions SAVIOR so strong

a kindly word and helping hand,
which cost SO little, may make light
err the burdens Ct some one now all

WHEN the head of Bulgarian
family perceives that he is about to
die, he sends for the priest and be.
gins to bargain with him about the
cost of his funeral The moment he
dies all the pots, pans and kettles in
the house are turned upside down to
prevent his soul taking refuge in
any one of them, and great care is
taken to prevent either man or an
imal-especially cat or dog-from
stepping across his body, as other
wise, in the opinion Of his family he
would turn into vampire and be
continual nuisance to them and
their neighbors. The body is bur-
led without any coffin, in a shallow
grave, and left there for three
years, during which time many of
ferings of food and wine are placed
upon it, At the end If the third
year the bones of the dead man are
dug up, carefully washed put into
a linen bag, laid before the altar
in the village church, and, after
receiving the blessing of the priest,
are finally buried for good.
