IHE VALLEYS OF THE SIERRA.-Im-
bosomed amid this mighty range are thou
sands of valleys, some already partially
occupied by settlers, but most of them still
vacant; while many, no doubt, have never
yet been discovered by the white man
yet year by year they are becoming more
known, and 1t will be but short time till
the prospecting miner, in his searching
after gold, will have explored every dark
ravine that plows these mountainous re-
gions, and ascertained its value for agri-
cultural, grazing, and mining purposes
The Placerville american, in speaking of
these valleys, says that already have great
numbers been discovered in localities
where there was not even a suspicion of
their existence. They vary in extent from
few acres up to many hundred, and are
mostly covered with luxurious growth
OF indigenous grasses and clover During
the drouth OF summer, it is becoming the
practice OF the herdsmen on the plains to
drive their cattle to the mountain retreats.
where the climate is cool, the water and
grass abundant, and to remain there until
the SHOWS begin to fall, when they return
to the country of the great valleys below.
In this manner the stock are kept on green
feed for good portion of the year.
These upper valleys have nearly all
either streams or lakes of pure water, with
plenty of fine timber, which, with their
variety OF game and advantages of climate,
are drawing many fond of adventure and
hunter life to locate in their bosoms.-
Fruit trees have been planted, and inva-
rlably do well. All kinds of vegetables
thrive with but little care Owing to the
rank growth of grass, great facilities for
making hay are afforded, a commodity for
which there is always good market in
the mines, further down among the foot
hills. An ice trade is also growing up
which promises to be lucrative. Such are
some of the products of this new, and un-
til recently, unknown portion of our State
Here we have wild and romantic coun-
try, like switzerland of mountains and
valleys, hidden away on our eastern bor-
Der, which will yet open for quiet homes
and sheepfolds, with orchards and vine
yards, one of the most bounteous realms in
the world

BEn DIR. Jones, of New York, told the
subjoined exceedingly laughable story at a
recent celebration of Welsh society, the
authenticity of which had been vouched
for:
Editors" he said, slike other shrewd
men, had to live with their eyes and ears
OPEN | have heard related story of an
editor who started paper in new village
at the West. The town was infested with
gamblers, whose presence was source OF
annoyance to the citizens, who told the
editor If he did not come out against them,
they would not take his paper He re-
piled that he would give them a smasher'
the next day. And surely enough, his next
issue did contain the promised +" smasher," /"
which did not belle its name.
On the following morning the re-
doubtable editor was seated, scissors in
hand, in his sanctum, cutting out news,
when in walked large man with club in
his hand, and asked
q Is the editor in?'
"'No, Sir was the reply, he has STEP
ped out Take seat, and read the pa
pers; he will return in few minutes
Down sat the indignant man of cards,
crossed his legs with his club between
them, and commenced reading newspa-
per.
g In the meantime the editor quietly
vamosed down stairs, and at the landing
below met another excited man, with a
cudgel in his hand, who asked him, a
second time,
"' Is the editor in p
"'Yes, Sir was the prompt reponse !;
you will find him up stairs reading a
newspaper
"The latter, ON entering the room, find
ing the editor prepared to meet him with
has club, with furious oath commenced
a violent assault upon the former, which
was resisted with equal ferocity. The
fight was continued until both had rolled
down to the foot of the stairs, and pounded
each other to their hearts content - !
This was "equal and exact justice all
around and it is to be lamented that all at
tacks upon honest and free-speaking editors
against great evils should not result in a
similar manner.

Our Greed.

We love religion, not the priest
We love our country and our God;
We love the man who governs least;
Not one who rules with iron rod.
Each family should be State,
Where all domestic virtues grow;
The heart an empire-then let fate
Attempt in vain its overthrow.
We love the farmer and his toll,
The talismen of life are there
We treasure Gods great gift of soul,
And His creation fair.
We love bright gold that it may strew'
Contentment in the paths OF care:
We hate the man who never knew
That he could have too large a snare.
We love both wit and merit hne,
Though poverty their grace unfold;
The diamonds in the dirty mine
Shine lust as bright as set in gold
We love the beautiful, the good
The finished work of natures plan,
For when these're fully understood,
They constitute the perfect man.
We love in woman, virtue, truth,
And know such gems would be less rare
If pity for her tender youth,
Exposed the tempters ready snare.
Her life is often overcast,
And darkness clouds the future way;
But need the lesson of the past,
IT'S darkness tells US what is day.
Take off thy sandal, weary time,
And lay it at the gates-go in,
Search for some new and radiant cline,
Untainted by the blight of sin;
We wish thy realm as free and wide
AS makes Gods universe our home,
That what we love might there abide,
And what is hateful never come.

sSF The curiosity of the child is the
philosophy of the man, Or at least, to abate
this sweeping generality, the one very
frequently grows into the other The for
mer is sort of balloon, little thing, to
be sure, but critical one nevertheless,
and pretty surely Indicative to the heights
as well as the direction, to be taken by the
more fully expanded mind Point out to

rally be called eccentric habits, fond of
rambling about, hunter of the wood-side

can search out, and then on his return to
shut himself up in his room, and make
experiments upon his gatherings-to in
quire into the natural history of each ac-
cording to its kind-point such an one
out to me, and should have no difficulty
in pronouncing him, without the aid of
physiognomy, to be far better and happier
augury than his fellow, who does but pour
over his books, never dreaming that there
can be any knowledge beyond them
Of such stuff as this were all our philo-
sophical geniuses, from Newton to Davy,
and so from the nature of things they
must generally be- And no wonder
The spirit that is powerful enough to
choose, ay, and take his own course, in
stead of resigning itself to the tide, must
be very powerful spirit indeed spirit

Agoing to be hanged.

There is no malady of deeper Importance,
either in q medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
As medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life, and his sole object should be to niti-
gate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily suf-
fering Human nature at best is but frail; all
are liable to misfortune.
Of all the ills that affect man, none are more
terrible than those of a private nature. Dread
ful as it is in the person who contracts it,
frightful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent off,
spring. Such being the case, how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease,
should attend to it at once, by consulting some
physician, whose responsibility and education
enables him to warrant safe, speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this necessi-
ty. DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to state
that by long study and extensive practice, he
has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal
and having paid more attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States,
he feels himself better qualified to treat them

gences in that secret and solitary habit which

the back and limbs, pain in the head. dimness
of sight loss of muscular power papitation of
the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritabilitv
arrangement of the digestive functions, general
debility, symptoms of consumption, &c.

are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory. CON
fusion OF ideas, depression of spirits, evil fore
bodings aversion to society, self-distrust. love
of solitude, timidity, &C., are most of the evils
produced.

health Let no false delicacy prevent YOU but

dreadful and awful consequences of this terrible
malady.
