When the stars of love were shining
In the golden summer eve,
A Maiden, softly smiling


On the garland she did weave,
Stood in the dewy light;
Nor watched the coming night;
For the star of love shone bright


When you and were young.
And the gentle smile grew softer,
And the fingers idly wove,
For she knew the voice beside her
Had no other tone than love,
And the happy tears would rise
In the maiden's pleasant eyes,
As she looked into the skies,


When you and 1 were young.
Long years have east their shadows
Since you and 1 were young,
But the untried love 1 pledged thee
Is pure as when it sprung,
And thy wrinkled brow as fair,
And thy pleasant eyes as clear,
And thy loyal heart as dear,


AS when you and were young.
The sun is fast departing,
And the autumn leaves are sere,
And the wintry twilight gathers
On the silver of thy hair.
But hold thy hand in mine,
And the star Of love will shine
In the darkness, till the time
When We reach the Happy Cline,


And We again are young.

 IN CAMp-FooT OF MOUNTAINS. ] TWELVE MILES WEST OF DENVER CIrY.

 June 2d, 1859.

 "After weary journey, l at length found the long looked for gold mines. I took short rest, and then started up to see the miners at work. soon found that I was agreeably disappointed in my calcu- lations, for 1 had about made up my mind that the gold mines were a humbug. I confess was happily deceived, for there is any quantity of gold here. The first that we saw was obtained in the following man ner: we got one tin cupfull of dirt from a man who was mining, and having washed it we took from the single cupfull twenty five cents worth of gold. A

 Cheered by this result we started out to prospect, and in the first place we digged we found regular lead, which-we staked off and took up our claim.

 We find the dirt will pay from twenty five to fifty cents per painful. We went to work at 1t yesterday morning, and two of us in a little over half day banned out over nine dollars worth of gold, and as we went to dinner we met a man who wanted to buy my interest out. He offered to give me three thousand dollars l asked him four thousand, which l think will get be- fore many days, but 1 would take the threa thousand if l could get it all down, but hd cannot pay before two or three months, ant If l have to stay here that long, I can d, better by working it myself

 Our company, and another company that have been travelling with us, comprising four men, are all equally interested in our claim-each man owning one lot of one hundred feet long and fifty feet wide whichsis all one man is allowed to own rm- der our mining laws. We are in company with first rate set of men. One of them is an old California miner, and he says that he would not take $55,000 for his claim - He says we can make twenty dollars per day-each man-by working 1t with a sluice, which we will have in operation by the last of next week.

 am perfectly well satisfied that there are claims not two hundred yards from ours, out of which five men are making every day three hundred dollars 1 know it to be 50, for I've seen it done.

 have been thinking that must make arrangements to have my family out here with me, for it will take another year to make all the money l want; so may con clude to come after you before a great while, if everything appears right

 MEssRs EDIToRs: To-day the great southern circus is here and is while write, producing a visible change in the busy stir upon our streets. Several hundred of our citizens from the country are already pre- sent, waiting to see the exhibition tonight and the cry is |" still they come" Where the hotel keepers are to put every body and his wife and daughters, it is impossible to tell, as they are already crowded to perfect jam. Tomorrow the great Caribow show exhibits. This show, fear is very much like some of our per diem politicians mak- ing big fuss on very small capital.

 By the byI think it would be very good thing if some of the friends of the occidental speaker of the House would sug- gest to him that his talents are better suit ed to a military life than the tedious and intricate labors ever besetting the politician l would make this suggestion 10 him, but think it would have more weight with him coming from abroad or through your high ly prized paper-a very great tayorite with him aside from the fact of it's opposition to ,ceSterm interests olias per diem

 But must stop this; l was just saying something in relation to the late speaker $ talents as military man. 1 am told that this talent of his was discoyerable in his childhood; that even when he was very young, he used to be very fond of using the pop gun, and of running round astrad- dle of corn stalk, which was looked upon by m, family as very strong indication of his talent for the dragoon service. J Later in life, he made application fora cap taincy in the United States army, which either through the stupidity of the war de partment or the belief of the secretary (. war that hiastalents were better suited f militia duty than the regular line, was r jected. At 2 later date, Governor Jol Selden Roane discovered the late speake, talent in military matters and appointed h. one of his aids, with the rank of Colon. the arduous duties of which position performed throughout Governor Roa1 whole term of office, with great honoio himself and much advantage to the Ste; and had the Colonel continued in milily life, have no doubt his tack and talel in that way before this time, would have is- ed him to the rank of brigadier, andlay be, to that of Major General of militia

 speak this hatteringly of the ate speaker because, :" with all his faults love him still" l am truly sorry that h got into politics, because he has no talers in that way and whenever he enters the olit- ical arena he is sure to make himsehridi- culous. But thank goodness his pediem ntooeD,em in the last legislature has aced him in position that he will not lreaf- ter be annoyed by the multitude ging him to accept political office, he vu be permitted to rest quietly upon his imels, already won and have leisure 10 stuy and enjoy his favorite amusement, miha tao ties.

of miasmatie Countries.


No one remedy is louder called for by the ne
cessities of the American people than a sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such We are
now enabled to offer, with a perfect certainty
that it win eradicate the disease, and with as-
= suranee, founded OH proof, that no harm can
arise from its in any qusntty.


That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be of immense service in the conmu-
mites where ii prevails. PrereHfioh Is better than

must run in violent attacks of this baleful dis
Eemper This 90 Cure A" expels the niiasmatic
poison of FEVER AND AGUE from the system and
prevents the developments of the disease, if taken
on the first approach of its premonitory symptoms.
1t IS not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints but also the cheapest.
The large quantity supply for dollar brings It
within the reach of every body; and in bilious
Districts, where FEVER AND AGUE prevails every
body should have it and it freely both for cure
and protection. 1t is hoped this price viii place it
within the reach of all the poor as well as the
Tieh. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain





or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
fion. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.


Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. great variety of disorders
arise from its irritation, among which Neural
gia, rheumatism Gout Headache Blindness,
Toothache Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitation,
Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hysteries Pain in
the Bowels Colic Paralysis and Derangement of
the Stomach, all Of which, when originating in
this ease, put the intermittent type, or become
periodical. This ''CURE expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all alike.
1t is an invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling temporarily residing in the
maarious districts. If taken occasionally daily
while exposed to the infection, that will be
ted from the system, and cannot accumulate in
sufficient quantity to rpen into disease. Hence it
is valuable for protection than cure, and
few will ever suffer from InterInttents. if they
avail themselves of the protection this remedy
affords.

A SURPLUS OF THE New CENTs.-We notice that
effort about to be made by the retail dealers of
This city to lessen the nuisance and loss sustained
by the superabundant supply of the new cent in
circulation. The authority of the Mint to exchange
at par the nckle cent for fractions of the old Span
ish dollar, which are at a discount of FIVE to six per
cent. compared with American silver coin, has
made the supply of the coinage here in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the Mint very large. The re-
tail dealers in dry goods and groceries, the butch
ers and others, are over supplied, and get rid of
them with difficulty and loss. They are dealt in
by the brokers, at a discount of two to five per
cent, depreciation sufficiently large to induce
some close dealers to purchase and pay them out to
such of their employees as have no choice in the
kind of pay they receive. The coin is far below
the value of our gold and silver, too far; and hav-
ing retiring point, is all the time in circulation
to the exclusion of corresponding amount of small
SILVER. We are not prepared to suggest a remedy
for the evil complained Of, but think the Secretary
OF the Treasury might interpose, to restrain the OBJ
jectionable coinage except for the distribution in
the interior, where it is in demand, and where it
would circulate but for the cost of transporting
commodity so bulky. That the operation of ex-
changing new cents for Spanish silver is a money
making one for the Mint, ought to stand in the
way of an order abating nuisance to the currency
so great as these nckleS have now become.-Phtid-

THE MILKY WAY-This well known phenom- enon is great luminous band which stretches every evening all across the sky. At one part it sends off kind of branch which again unites with the main body, after remaining distant for about l5O0 This remarkable belt has, from the earliest ages of which we have any record, maintained the same place among the stars and when examined through a powerful tele- scope it is found to be composed of myriads of gttcring stars, scattered in groups of millions, like glistening dust on the black ground of the general heavens Sir William Herschel has divided 1t into a number of nebuous systems, or separate clusters of stars, and has described their appearances and shapes; but, as yet it is to us but the shadowy outline of another branch of astronomical research which will require more powerful instruments and more human genius than is now at command for its eXplor- alton. The same authority above referred to thinks that the phenomena of the milky way agree with the supposition that the stars of our Armament, instead of being scattered in all di- rections mdilerently through space, form a stratum, of which the thickness is small in com parison with its length and breadth and in which the earth occupies place somewhere about the middle of its thickness.
