Journalism in the Mountains.

1t would be very improper to remark that
mountain paragraphst has the devils own
time of it," and we shall therefore say no
such thing, having no disposition TO take
that august personages name in vain, but we
can say, in all good conscience, that the scrit-
blers position is no enviable one, in little
village when he is accountable to every man,
woman and child in the place.
He is constantly treading on somebody's
corus; always saying something TO conflict
with the interest of somebody and is there
fore voted very bad man by the persons SO
injured For our part we have paid but
little attention to the opinion Of anybody but
ourself, and had we done otherwise our
life would have not been very different from
that of q toad under a harrow; we should
have been nobody's body long ago, and
should have been run out Of town. We do
not mean to say that we have been perse-
cuted or NAL treated by people of Sierra; on
the contrary, we question whether any one
in the profession has had kinder treatment;
nevertheless, we are continually doing mis-
chief to somebody.
Hard case isn't itp Yet, after all, haven't
we been about right, most Of the time? and
that is about as much as can be expected OF
fallible creature. Because we happen to
have types and ink and nothing else to do, it
does not follow that our opinion cannot be
wrong. Cod may have denied us the wisdom
and discretion SO literally bestowed on 9th
ers, and We may not only fail to do our duty
to our fellow men, but may do them positive
harm. But one thing We know: Not one
paragraph has escaped us which was not die
tated by our sense Of duty to ourselves and
others; not once have we trespassed on 9th.

And who wouldn't look out for himself
when assailedy Who would not, if smitten
on one check, turn the other, if it be for nc
other reason than to get the sound side to

crawls out to sun himself upon the rocks;

and attempt to bruisc his head with reed

after while crawl back to his den, and the

The phenomena exhibited by volcanic
eruptions have led to many important discus
sions among scientific men. Various theories
have been advanced in order to explain these
truly wonderful phenomena, all of which bear
close anology to each other. The most prob
able and generally received opinion Of the
cause Of volcanoes is that in the bowels OF the
mountains there exist large quantities of sui
phur, bitumen, pyrites, and even some Of the
alkaline bases, such as potassium and sand
These, by exposure to air or moisture, ex-
plode and ferment, according to the quantity
of combustible matter contained in them. A
large quantity Of aiform matter is thus pro-
duced, which struggles hard to fnd natural
vent, and, should it find that impossible, it
forces passage by raising the earth, and
makes its dreadful discharge through yolca-
no. Water seems to be the important ingre.
dent which forms volcanic eruptons, for,
says DIR. Clarke, "before any eruption of We
suvius, not only does the water disappear in
wells Of Naples and other towns at the foot
Of the mountain, buteven the sea retires, and
marine animals, by the want of their native
element, expire. The water, which has thus
disappeared, is conveyed by numerous subter-
raneous passages to the sabteraneoas fires,
and there being decomposed, its elements arc
exploded with such terrible violence that the
loudest artillery bears but faint resem-
blancc,' The depths of volcanoes are almost
beyond comprehension, and extend to an i'm
mense length, breaking of into numerous
subterraneous fires. NJ. Button supposes that
these fires extend but a little way below the
mountain.

" There's Nothing True but Heaven"

BY oHAs. MAcxAY
Tell me, yc winged winds,
That round my pathway roar,
Do you not know some spot
Where mortals weep no moref
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the west,
Where, from toll and pain,
The weary soul may rests
The loud wind softened to whisper low,
And sighed for pity as IL whispered" No.
Tell me, thou mighty deep,
Whose pillows round me play,
know'st thou some favored spot,
Some Island far away,
Where weary man may find
The bliss for which be sighs,
Where sorrow never lives,
And friendship never dies?
The loud waves rolling in perpetual flow,
Stopped for while ard sighed to auswer--"No.'
And thon sercnest moon,
That with such holy face,
Dost look upon the earth,
Asleep in nights embrace,
Tell me in all thy round,
Hast not thou seen some spot,
Where miserable man
Might find happier lots
Behind a cloud the moon withdrew in woe,
And voice, sweet but sad, responded
Tell me, my secret soul,
o! tell me- Hope and Faith,
Is there no resting place
From sorrow, sin and death.
Is there no happy spot,
Where mortals may be blessed,
Where grief may find balm,
And weariness a rest?
Faith, Hope and Lovc-best boons to mortals

HANNIBAL AS A GENERAL. = Hannibal, in
his 2sth year, was nearly Of the same age
at which Napoleon Bonaparte led the army
Of the French Republic into Italy. Bred in
the camp he possessed every quality necessa-
sary to gain the confidence of his men. His
personal strength and activity were such that
he could handle their arms and perform their
exercises. on foot or on horseback, more skill
fally than themselves. His endurance OF heat
or cold, of fatigue and hunger, excelled that
of the hardest soldier in the camp. He uev-
er required others to do what he could not
and would not do himself TO those bodily
powers he added an address as winning as
that of Hasdrubal, his bother-in-law, and
talents to command fully as great as those
of his father, Hamilcar. His frank manners
and genial temper, endeared him TO the sol
diery; his strong viii swayed them like one
man. The different nations who made up
his motely army-Africans and Spaniards,
Gauls and Italians, looked upon him each as
their own chief Polybius twice remarked
that, amid the hardships which his mixed
army underwent for 16 years in foreign
land, there never was a mutiny in his camp.
This admirable versitality Of the man was
seconded by all the qualities required to make
the general His quick perception and great
sagacity led him to marvelousy correct judg-
ment of future events and distant countries
which in those days, when travellers were
few and countries unknown, must have been
a task of extraordinary difficulty. He form
ed his plans after patient inquiry, and kept
them profoundly secret till it was necessary
to make them known But to this caution
in designing was united marvellous prompt
ness in execution. "He was never deceived
himself" says Polybus, but never failed to
take advantage Of the errors of his oppo-
nents' Nor was he mere soldier In lei
sure hours he delighted to coverse With learn
ed Greeks on tcnics OF intellectual interest
