Folding her white hands on her bosom and raising her tender eyes, she commenced with her JEolian cotes, the melody swelling and break? ing into a gush of plaintive, suppli? cating harmony that vibrated through every ohord of the heart. I glanced at my friend at my side, radiant in her magnificent dress and halo of golden hair, silver powdered, and there was a sweet, pensive look on her downcast face. The music ceased, and tho audience, wild with enthusi? asm, was demanding an encore, when my beautiful companion raised her ] large, serene eyes to mine and said, "Isn't it sad?" "Yes," replied I, quick, sharing her feeling, "although so glorious, it toadies a melancholy chord." "Oh, nonsense," she ex? claimed, "I don't mean that I You know very well that I don't pretend to appreciate this kind of musical jargon. I mean isn't it sad to see so many young men in California bald headed? I wonder if it's dissipation or trouble, or climate, or what? Do you know that I have been picking out bald-heads down in the parquette, and, would yon believe it, I actually counted twenty-nine?" [Letter from San Francisco. - - THE UTAH LAKE MONSTEBS.-Bro. Madsden, a well-known authority for ] anything connected with Utah Lake, soys that a peculiar bird inhabits the lase, about the size of a duck, with short wings that have scarcely any | feathers on them. It can neither fly nor walk, - and can continue under water, when it dives, fully a quarter of an hour. It is called a "hell diver" by those who are acquainted with its movements.' It sometimes makes its way aer?se the water with great velo? city, flopping its short and almost I featherless wings and leaving a wake behind it that gives it the appear? ance of a serpent dashing along. He suggests that its thus passing through the water and throwing up a long1 visible track, with its own peculiar appearance, may have led to the opi? nion entertained by those wno thought they saw monsters in tho lake. Though a .fisherman on thc lake for fourteen years, Bro. Madsen has never seen anything that looked like a monster, and is a total unbe? liever in their existence. [Sall Lake Nete*..

UNRIVALLKD.-Notking that bas ever | been known or hoard of as a tonio adds so mach to the resistant power of tho human system, under circumstances unfavorablo to health, as HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. If you would c scapo thc inter? mittent fevers, fits of indigestion, bilious attacks and bowel-complaints, of which cold and damp aro tho frequent causes, uso tho BITTERS as a PROTECTIVE MEDICINE. This is the wisest course; but, if already an invalid, try tho prepara? tion as a RESTORATIVE. In either case full reliance maybe placed upon its effi? cacy. There is no mystery about tho causes of its success. It is tho only stomachic and alterative in which aro combined tho grand requisites of a mild, puro and uuvitiated vegetablo stimulant, with tho finest selec? tion of tonic, anti-billious, anti-scorbutic, aperient and depnrativo horbs, plants, roots and barks that have ever been inter? mixed in a medicinal preparation. Tho Bitters have this distinctive quality, which is not shared, it is believed, hy any tonic, tincture or extract in tho world: It does not excito tho pulse, though it iufuscs a wonderful degree of vigor iuto tho ner? vous system, and strengthens and sustaius tho whole physical organization. California and Australia have emphati? cally endorsed it as tho MINER'S MEDI? CINE par excellence, and in Spanish Ame? rica and all the tropical climates, it is considered thc only reliable antidoto to epidemic fevers. Tho already immense and still increas? ing consumption of HOSTETTER'S STO? MACH BITTERS, backed by many of tho most influential physicians throughout tho country, should couvinco tho most skeptical that it is worthy tho confidence ami approbation of all. Nov 15t 6 "MANHOOn."-Another New Medical Pamphlet from the pen of Dr. Curtis. Tho Medical Times says of this work: "This valuablo treatise on thc cause and euro of premature decline shows how health is impaired through secret abuses of youth and manhood, and how easily regained.

It is taking tho load that would CRUSH ONE FAMILY and spreading it o\er twenty thousand families; so that a mere drop lights npon each, instead of the overwhelming torrent falling upon ono. It seems to mc a beautiful illustration of bcariug ono another's burdens. And, therefore, let overy young man entering upon Ufo, every hoad of a family, whether high or low, set his house in order so far as to assure bia life." Thousands of widows and orphans live to attest the divine beneficence of LIFE INSURANCE. Without its protecting ogis, many of them would, to-day, bo beg? gars Jupon tho Btreets, or occupants of poor-houses and penitentiaries. " No man can foretoll what will bo his circumstances at the timo of his death. Tho rich mah of to-day dies tho pauper of to-morrow, and the family, delicately reared, become tho unprepared victims of dire Want, with her train of countless evils. Such a result is impossible, with a policy of Life Insurance. It, indeed, offers (he only absolutely safe investment which can be made for the benefit of one's family and of his own old ago. All other investments may result in loss or min.
