Better Go Slow.
In al! the varied scene   ol  life—
Its DOfee  confusion, turmoil, Mr ifi: —
These little words, i. borne iu mind,
Would suit right well all human kind—
■■ Go t-lcw!"
The fast young man who cuts a dash
Upon his -'giA-ei-uor's'' hard eai ne.i cash,
Will think when all his money's Bed,
This motto should have tilled"bis head —
Go slow.
The flirt with lover* at her feet.
Her cheeks so lair, her heart deceit,
When yea s shall sleal hr']- e-lianu.- away,
Will  weep .-he did Hi-'I. iii VillUil  s \|;.y
Go blow.
The man of money—he who spend.
Hlfl thousands ou his buraea—friends—
May sit flown in after years
To coin ihis lesson through bis tears—
Go slow.
The husband who, lo see more of life,
Deserts his children, 'mine and wile.
Wheu sunk beneath the hand of fate,
Will mourn he did not, ere too late—■
Go slow,
The wife who always shopping goes,
Leaving her children out at toes,
Should keep this matter iu her heart,
Learn to act a mother's part, ami
Go slow.
The banker counting cent per cent—
The landlord eager (1 r his rent—
The clerk behind his mauler's lill —
'Twill suit you all—this lesson will —
Go slow.
The widow, wife, the maiden, miss—
The husband, father—think ol this—
In whatever path you go,
'Tis always best to travel slow—

The   Hi-Ucsf Inhabited  Plnce ln GalUuriita.
Taking a pleasure excursion a tew daysslow
in company of some ladies, we shaped our coursi
towards Onion Valley. Tlilfl valley >8 ritoat-d
about 4i miles beyond G'bsonyille, and Es wliai
may be called a ridge valley. " Pilot Paab," tin-
great landmark to incoming em grants, is at the
erst end of it, and the peak of itself is supposed
to be in the vicinity oi 10,000 to 12,01)0 feet a ove
th* level of the Bea. The valley extends Id a
westerly direction by a gentle inclination from
the peak, and the eternal snows on the latte-, by
their continual drippings, form oue of the sources
of the Feather river.
Tile valley is quite small, being from one to
two hundred yards in width and probably three-
quarters of a mile in length, and ending in tht*
•west in a canon. In 1851, before Rabbit Creek
had an existence, stages wound their devious way
over the mountain ridges to Onion Valley. Team.-"
alio, of the heaviest description carried an immense quantity of goods to the miners who had
loeatud themselves there. At that time everybody
worked surface diggings, deep diggings betuir
theu unknown. At this day it is entirely ohang
od,aud if outward geological indications go for
anything, there are no richer mipera'l land-* in
California, Half a mile beyond the valley, at
Washington Hill .ome ei^ht or ten tunnels are
being run and in some of them the bri .'litest proa-
pecta ever struck tn our State have been found.
It is tbe celebrated Blue Lead, aud the gold is ol
the coarsest description.
There are probab'y one hundred minTs liviivj
in and around tlie valley, and the altitude of the
ground on which their cabins rest ia not far fr
9 000 feet above tidewater. At no distant d
Onion Valley is destined to be om* ol tbe larg
mining towns in the Sierra Nevada. In no place
in California does the snow fall deeper or the frost
linger longer than in the above place, the form r
having been over 20 (eet deep on a level, and th'
latter, when people are almost m dting in t •
lower country, ccvers the ground evry morning.
There is no lack ol the purest air in that region.
We heard an incident related by a friend a few
days since, which will illustrate the severity ol*
the storms which sometimes occur there. Som
packers in November,'51, were on their way ur
to the valley, and when within two or three mMt>>
of their destination were caught in a sno« storm
on a mountain ridge, and ere they could cxtricat"
themselves or mules, forty of the latter perished,
and the puckers were obliged to deposit the pack-
in the snow unt:l sprng. We may read of and
imagine the horrors uf an Alpine winter, but w>
kuow of none worse thau tho-e which occur
among ourselves,—Mountain .Messenger.
" John Phenix" thus speak* of a juvenile mo si
clan whom he encountered in the cars in a journey
he recently made to New Orleans :—
"He was a seedy youth, with a seal skin cap. a
■Ingulnrly dirty face, a gray jacket of the ventilating order, and a,short but remarkably broad
pair of " corduroy corduroys." He wore an enormous bag or haversack about his neck and bore
In his hand that most infernal and detestable in
etrument, an accordeon. I despise that instrument of music. They pull the music out of it.
and it comes forth struggling and reluctant, !ik'
a cat drawn by the tail from an ash hole, or h
aqutrrel pulled shrieking from a hollow loa; with
a ramrod. This unprincipled boy commenced
pulling at this thing, and horrifi"d us with th**
most awful version ot that wretched " Dog Tray"
that I ever listened to."
Con'Sumptiox -Medical statistics appear to prove
that consumption, where prevalent, originates as
often in summer as in winter, and the best authorities declare that it is more common in hot than
in cold climates. There is more consumption in
the Tropical Indies, botn east and we-4, than in
the almost Arctic Canadas, The number or thi-
British troops attacked wilh this disease in Jamaica, is annually twelve in one thousand, whib-
In Canada it is ouly about six. The English Government bave accordingly resolved upou Hemline
their consumptive soldiers to the cold iu preference to the warm climate.

IT seem that Mie EijUctro-Ohkmical Baths, have
decided the veSed question in regard to the
notorious National Hotel disease ; one victim
having been fortunate enough to try the baths, as
a-l&st resort, wherein the "test-plate showed a
heavy deposit of arsenic." This t'dlsa dark tale
on somebody, and shows how the people choose to
be humbugged, even to death, rat her than lie cured
by an unpopular agent. The Electro-Chemical
baths were in.use and within the, reach of tHose
victims, bqt they were in the.hands of JJaTOBMEKfl
hence, but one of the mauy victims, it seems, re.
sorted to th rn.
I do not claim that the baths are a cure-all, but
that they are a powerful agent in renovating-the
human system generally, and thi t ihey will expel
from the system murcuri., or otb>T mineral poi-
Sont.. so as to be seen by the naked eye j showing
clearly the absurdity of the Alopathio prnctice,
and why the Doctors decry these tell-tale machine*.
Should there be any in this ommunity. independent enough to investigate these things for
themselves, they may And it to their advantage to
call on the undersigned, who administers the
baths, and is a dealer in electro-magnetic machines for family use, giving al! necessary directions.

opinion is in favor of the United Stales .Supreme

any Slate Constitution. Atthe time of the adoption of the first Constitution cf Massachusetts,
Maine was a Province of that State, and, of course,
was bound by its laws, which recogniz'nl the citizenship of its colored Inhabitants. Aa the Constitution of Maine, when she became a State, extended the right of citizenship to its African descent; the same privileges ure continued to them
