A DOOMED TowN.-We learn that
Cedar City, in this county. is in a hapless
condition. All hope of saving the town
has been abandoned, and the people are
moving out. All the houses that could
be moved are being pushed back toward
the hills. The depot will also be moved.
Quite a number of convicts are at work
to stop the ravages OF the river, but their
labors are hardly sufficient to accomplish
so difficult a task. Captain Eads, the
great engineer, has visited the place, and
recommends deep spiling as the Only
thing that can possibly stop the washing
away Of the lands threatened nov with
speedy destruction.-FuHOa (AissOuri)

.REsPECTFuLLy DECLINED"

The writer takes hts busy Thoughts.
And weaves them into rhyme;
He says I'm sure this poem
Is something quite sublime, |"
Then he waits with bTeathIess waiting
FOR the laurel wreath Of fame
1hat with Its deathless circle
shall entwine n poets name.
bnt alas the post returning,
Brings, TO him, underlined,
mat Shorthand pithy sentence:
Respectfully declined"
Or into some wild romunce
ne wonders weayes untold,
VI hair-bieadth 'scapes aud miracles,
That makes his blood run cold,
After days of expectation
And the nights in vision passed,
OF a glorious immortality
That shall come to him at last,
lie sees his castles In the air,
With feelings undo fined,
Fade before that piIhy sentence:
Respectfully declined"
SO authors and inventors,
The wielders of the pen,
From every way and walk of life,
And all the paths of men,
Before the power of the Press
Bow low as to a King,
And TO the votive altar
VIII still their offerings bring,
Where few gain fame and fortune.
But more their fiat find
Ia that short and pithy sentence:
respectfully declined"
But We who in |fruition
Have found your hopes all vain,
And In bitter disappointment
Have tasted dregs of pain,
In the last great journey Upward.
as We climb the golden stair,
To deliver pthe record
Of your earthly lives, beware!
Lest the deeds of life there written
viii in the end be signed,
by that short and pithy sentence.
Respectfully declined"
