Honor Old Age.

Bow low the head, boy do reyer-
ence to the old man as he passes
slowly along. Once that heart beat
with aspirations co-equal to any that
you have felt; aspirations crushed by
disappointment, as yoursare perhaps
destined to obe. Once thatform stalk
ed proudly through the gay scenes Of
pleasure the Beau-ideal of gtec6; now
the hand of Time, that withers the
flowers of yesterday, has warped the
figure and destroyed that noble car
riage. Once at your age, he had the
thousand thoughts that pass through
your brain, now wishing to accom-
plish something worthy in fame;
anon imaging life a dream that the
sooner he woke from the better. But
he haslived the dream nearly through.
The time to wake is very near at
hand; yet his eyes even kindles at
old deeds of daring, and his hand
takes a firmor grip Of his staff. Bow
low the head, boy, as you would in
your old age be revernced.

1t is a remarkable fact that almost
every one believes that he will him
self certainly go to Heaven, but that
there is doubt about some other peo-
pie.
No man is afraid of a ghost in the
daytime. For twelve hours each day
we stoutiy deny the possibility of
such a thing, and ridicule the idea
as preposterous. But after dark we
begin to weaken, and at twelve, mid.
night, if We happen to be alone, we
are pretty sure that our former con-
clusions were hasty, while our hair
stands on end if we hear any unu-
sual noise. We are philosophers in
the light, but children in the dark.
spurgeon has a very happy faculty
of illustration. He said the other
day that a countryman took his gun
to the gunsmith for repairs, with the
expectation that a little tinkering
would make it as good as new. ut

Rose Afbor, Rockinghan County,
Virginia,
We hazsrd the opinion in this

she is not. Perhaps she finds that
the manfor whom she had a fancy at
sixteen does not satisfy the demands
of her heart at twenty-one. Perhaps
our Virginia bookworm has wearied
her with talking love out ofhis books
rather than his heart. Judging from
his letter, he seems to be very SEN
timentat man, and that sort of indi-
yidual sometimes tires women, who
have sentiment enough Of their own,
and expect men to be strong and
sensible.
A bookworm, too, is not apt to be
pleasing to the gentler sex. They
prefer men of affairs, and the pallor
which the midnight oil produces
may not be the sort of complexion
they like. There is much delight to
be got out of good books; but fellow
who ostentatiously seeks their socio'
ty has something wrong about him,
and he is apt to be unfortunate in
his love affairs. We advise our cor.
respondent to lose no time in giving
up being a bookworm, and. talking
about himself as one.
There is no State in the Union
which has grander and more varied
scenery than Virginia. The colonists
who pitched their habitations in the
Old Dominion were men of taste anC
discernment, and they were the pro
genitors of some of the best, ablest
and handsomest men in the repub
lie; but they breathed the fine air o
the Virginia hills, and did not coOI
themselves up in Libraries. We ad
wise our correspondent to follow theil
example.

OREANA, Aug. l6.
EDITOR SILVER STATE -Sometime
since l milled eight tons of ore from
the Red Deer mine of Mount Rose
Mining District. The gentlemen who
owned the ore sent Mr.. Briggs to see
1t worked. to take samples. etc. He
requested me to say nothing about the
arnount it worked. Since then have
had several communications asking
about how much silver was produced
and other questions. l have always
answered as fully as was at liberty to
do. ! learned yesterday that there was
dissatisfaction among the owners OF tire
ore at the result of my working, and
also with Mr.. Briggs. and that the
tailings assayed $1,000 per ton. etc.
The battery sample, which was taken
while the ore was being crushed, aver.
aged 1853 per ton. The ore yielded
81. 100 In silver, as per the receipt of
Thomas Price of San Francisco (Mr.

that was put in the retort when the
