'WmrE.- The power to transmit thoughts
by means of written language, is preroga-
tive youchSafed to man alone. To him only
has it been given to hold converse with dis
tant friends, sending the wish and the thought
OF his soul from afar, almost as if present
face to face at the social fresde. Yet this
privilege, rare and blessed as it is, there is
much reason to fear We Of California have
sadly abused, through neglect We have
therefore taken itupon us to advise our peo-
pie of their short comingS in this respect.
and to counsel speedy correction of the
evil. And first, to the young mau We would
address Ourselves, as belonging to class
most prone to offend in this particular, while
he of all Others should most guard against
it, You, young man, should be last to fail
in corresponding with your friends and fam
lily, not only from considerations of policy
and friendship, but as a matter of principle
and duty. Especially should you be regular
and frequent in writing to your parents if,
happily they have been spared to you thus
loug-aS to many Of us, alas they have not
remember they are growing old upace per-
haps already their future has narrowed down
to the thought of their children, and their
minds dwell mostly on the absent and the
past Think how constantly your mother
meditates on her absent son daily her
thoughts go forth over the seas and strange
lauds--nghtly her dreams are of you. Re
pay not her constant care and devotion with
silence aud indifference. When she is gone,
no being will ever again cherish for you such
steady and unsefSh love. You cannot go
to her now, but you can and must send her
letter and should do so at once Just
simple letter Think of the JOY it will car
ry to her heart perhaps diffuSe through the
whole household at home Strong, too, are
the obligations of the husband and father,
to write often to the half widowed wife, and
half orphaned children left behind him -
Kcenly they miss his company, sadly they
need his protection, but these they cannot
have it is too much, then, that they should
hear from you 10y every opportunityY Per-
haps you cannot always send them money to
relieve their wants but none so poor that
he cannot always send a message to ehlyen
the cherries hours of absence and satisfy
the heart. In word, to all, whoever you
are, or wherever you may be-whether in
habiting the city, dwelling Oh the plain, or
tollng in the mountains, we would say rs
the angel said to the Evangelist, write
And do it at once Don't wait for more
convenient season, nor stop to think what
YOU will say. Most anything will be accept
able from one so long gone, and so far away.

was one wherein husband related to his

TIE MINERS MOUNTAIN SNUGGERY IN WIN
rER.-The Sierra Democrat, remarkng on the
recent fall of snow on the mountains about
Forest City, says;
Winter is season of amusement in the
city ; but what mountain man wants to leave
his snow-covered hills, to reside in the slushy
damp, smoky drizzly atmosphere of the
plains Although the cold is little more
severe in the mountains, and there is no the
ater to while away the evenings nor con
certs, where you go to hear women squall
and men growl out the last new air, and then
travel home through mist thick enough to
cut with cheese knife barrn' all those
city convenienceS, there is no place to spend
winter with good solid comfort like the
mountains. Brick houses can't compare with
log cabins. TheaterS give no such sense Of
pleasure as the inside of tight log cabin,
with a glorious, blazing pile of logs in the
ample fireplace. There is more music in
the wintry blast as it whistles around your
snug abode, or means among the epines, than
there is in concert room. The luxury of
hearing the rain patter on the shingles. as
you nestle among the blankets the flicker
ing blaze of the lire, playing IN lantaStlc
light and shade upon the walls, gives you a
sense for comfort to be realized no where
else and you sink into sleep without having
to WOO its embraces for hours
| Hundreds of miners who are now living
in the eastern cities look back with sigh
to the old log cabins among the Sierra Ne
vadas. They will never forget the pleasant
Al hnp 10
the blazing fire. When the old Californian
goes into the readng-rooms in the Atlantic
States, he will never peruse paper or mag
azinc with half the pleasure which the we'll
thumbed paper, perhaps two weeks old, af-
/ forded him as he read it bv the light of the
pine fire in his log cabin. Give us the noun
tainS, summer or winter. Pure air, clear wa
ter and refreshing brcezes pay us amply for
the lack of those enjoymeuts to be found in
Babel of bricks and mortar.

The Past.


Viewed with ioy and then with sadness,
Traced with smiles and then with tears,
Linked with grief and then with gladness
Are the annals of past years.
Here, the memory loves to linger
On some bright and sunny spot,
Sweet with odors from Hopes garland,
Rich with Fancy's gems of thought
There. the mind in sadness wanders
Der u burning, sterile waste,
Views the flowers of Hope all withered,
Walks q path in sorrow traced.
Sadly, almost wildly asking
Why has God dealt thus with me"
We receive the kindly answer,
1t was meant for good to thccH
Learn, in clouds as we'll as sunshine,
To see but Fathers hand,
Seeking to direct thy footsteps
To that bright and better land,
Where the veil which dims thy vision
Shall be lifted, and thou see
Why thy God, in love and mercy,
Has thus, kindly, dealt with thee.
Seek, while turning back the pages
OF thy life, to learn from them
What thy duty is to others,
Wherein thou hast self condemned.
Let the star of Hope e'er guide thee,
Piercing thro' the deepest gloom,
Like holy faith prepare thee
For pure bliss beyond the tomb

A MoTHER's Love FOR HER ERRING SoN.
Yesterday we were called upon by mother,
whose son is in the State Prison, where he
was sent on two charges Of gaand larceny,
and sentenced to five years for each olTenSe
The mother knows her son was guilty yet
she would pray the Executive Of the State,
to exercise his clcmency, to the end that she
may once more strive with him to save him
from the error Of his ways If the Cover

him from the State, and by returning with
him to her family in the East, trusts that a
reformation will be effected The convict
has brothers who are married and doing well
but the mother cannot bear to leave This
lost, erring one, but would reclaim him and
no doubt love him all the more for the troub.

She has the names of number Of our
most prominent citizens on her petition, but
the question Of greatest interest to her is,
will the Governor pardon him She hopes,

young man when he first came to Califor-
MIA and before he became amcnable to her
laws, by their violation, and she thinks that
mercy will struggle with justice until the an
gel will soften the heart Of him who holds
the power in his hand, and that her erring
son will be restored to her. We feared that
her hope was too strong but could not find
it in our heart to dash the cup which she
held so tremblingy to her lips, to the ground,
so we added our name to the list, and when
she took her departure could not restrain n
prayer in her behalf IF that SHINING son

SHOCKING A LADY's MoDEsry.--A sngu-
lar occurrence happened the past summer in
one Of the provinces in France. An honest
country gentleman, possessed of very
handsome park, had found the weather very
oppressive and was in the habit Of taking
morniug walk in his park, with cigar in
his mouth and no clothes upon his back. A
lady of the neighborhood, from whose win
dows the park might be seen, considered the
gentlemans proceedngsas as entirely too prim-
tive, and cited him before a magistrate
The defendant contended that upon his own
property, he had the right to do what he

COUNTRY EDIroRs. We cannot help pub
fishing the following from the Oire Branch
The writer must have seen inside a country
newspaper office once, himself How often
is it that men are seen to treat the country
weekly paper as a matter of little value, not
knowing that to condenSe and extract from
the great mass of trash laid before him du-
ring the week, in the shape of huge daily
prints, nine-tenths of which is perfect nu-
isance to the general reader-has required
a deal of the hardest kind of labor and
thinking himself very smart to deSpise it,
shows to the intelligent his perfect want of
appreciation of true merit It's but a small
matter to ,crite, where the only object is to
fill the columns of paper and it is still
less to clip from foreign publications whole
columns of print. But to read, digest and
condense into small space, all the more in
teresting items, sentences and sentiments
contained in a multitude Of daily prints, not
only requires severe labor, but degree of
patience, perseverance and taste that nine
tenths of those who sneer at them, are Who'll
ly incapable of. Here it is
All honor to the Country Editor the
haiu loiHhS, Hoheol, ulappIecldteu country
editor with no rest for head or foot, no

up after that. sometimes until the cock crows
again at daybreak and never dotcn until
every other mortal has been in bed three
hours, Almost always is added to his other
duties that of physical labor, bccause-wcll
he told us once not to tell that he was poor,
because the world was very apt to estimate
a mans abilities by his dollars and cents
he sets type probably, because ne likes it
mere play for man who has nothing else
to do but edit a newspaper He does his
own thinking, and does it well seizing up
on every little incident and event as it passes
around him, giving it a candid consideration,
and expressing his own earnest views of it,
in fear of non9, lie is man of good taste,
witness his excellent selections. Ifyou want
choice tt-bts and scraps of wisdom, run
your eyes over his unpretending columns
there they are. We could mention too Of
