A WORD OR Two ABOUT NEwsPAPERs-Rev.
Abel Stevens, the editor of the National Nigga
zine, an issue which stands nearly in tie first
place among the periodicals of our country,
says in his table, speaking Of the independence
of the true editor:
i'We do not in our editorials, hold ourselves
responsible to the personal views of any indi.
vidual patron. For ourselves, personally, we
would not subscribe siXpence to periodicals
which should bind itself to re-edit ONLY receiv-
ed views, or to bring as from month to month
such opinions only as are admitted by common
consent, or are a repetition-a rehash-of our
own individual things. We prefer something
independent something provocative of new
and progressive thought-even if it challenge,
sometimes, our dissent. This is one Of the
prime rules of good editing and he that don't
like it, had better clear cur track as soon as
possible

The BIOrning of Life.

The True Californian, is fortunate in having a
Sacramento Correspondent under the nonane de
plume of AMY, through whose soul, flows the
pure current of true poetic sentiment =
Thoughts such as hers" says the Californian,
awaken in every bosom the gushing recollec-
tions of Life's early morning, ere the dark shad-
ows of sorrow, disappointment and care came
down upon u.s. like the great nights sable robe.
Who that has a heart to feel the true poetry
of existence, can think ofhis early days and not
mourn that they have passed away forever
Like the swift carol ola bird flown by"
Who amongst our citizent, at the present
time, but must draw painful contrast between
the complicated evils that thicken around us,
to-day, and those joyous hours in our distant
boyhood's homes where sunshine played upon
every landscape, and gladness dwelt in every
heart!
But we are OBTAINING our readers from our fair
correspondent. Her article is entitled
MY GIRLHooD'S FRIEND
Ills fitting time to think of her, the gentle
one, now while nature is bright and glad, and
decked so gorgeously in her full summers robes
for she was ever joyous; no grief had she
known, save that of sympathy for others
woes;''-then indeed would those clear blue
eyes be dimmed, but their light seemed to pass
into the grieved heart she was trying to soothe.
And all lovely and loving, she died They
said 'she was too pure for Earth
Beloved one, when thy favOrite twilight hour
comes to u.s. then tAou dost hover round those
thou loved, and with low whisperings animate
our souls with the ''truest heroism," that of en-
during meekly and uncomplainingly the Ellis OF
Earth" while we grasp, and enjoy all the light
and beauty which infinite love- has, and so form
a Paradise round US, whithersoe'er our footsteps
tend
That last summer we spent together! All
how free and exultant the songs OF the birds
Will rustling leaves e'er again make such mel
o6y in their trembling, as those OF the old tree
on the hilltop, meath which we sat and read
the poets charmed strains? And those moon
light nights, when we glided Ger that beau
teous lakes unruf1ed bosom stars SHINING
above in the ether, and glittering down. Tar
down in the clear water, while our songs float
ed on the still air, keeping time with '.oar-beat
and heartbeat" Will ever forget those lul-
ling cadences?
Farewell, sweet one Thou breathed out
thy life mid the flowers thou loved SO well and
their richest perfume will ever cling to thy
memory.
We can chant no sad requiem for thy early de-
parture. Sadness was not meet for thee when
here, and now, "Joy unspeakable and fall Of
Glory" is thy portion! ANY.

adopted was the following:
Resolred, That we, the neighbors, friends, and

his literary attachments, and varied knowledge,
his nice sense of honor, his distinguished gall

qualify him for the task ofregenerating people
cursed with all the evils of bad government,
and comforting upon them the blessing of free

Old Friends.

God bless them-old friends-early friends
those who went to the same school, laughed and
frolicked on the same green with us in child
hood, and listened to the gushing minstrelsy of
the artless songsters, whose wildwood anthems
herald to us the joyous murmuring of free
streams, warm skies, green wood lands and mea-
dows and golden sunshine, who looked upon
the world with the same eyes, and saw in it the
same fair light that we did; and whose little
brown fingers assisted us in building dams across
bubbling streams, and loitered under shady
trees with u.s. stringing garlands of dandelions
and cowslps, and holding yellow butter-cups
under round dimpled chins, to see if little folks
loved butter
Dear old friends who reveled in the same
youthful ay-dreams, who was bound to us by a
thousand tendrils of affection, such as the heart
only sends out in its fresh days, to clasp its ear
Hest idols
In grasping an old friend by the hand, we
are carried back into the past, redolent with
the perfume of early flowers; teaming with
bright fancies; overlooking with generous af-
fections, and unaIloyed with that selfishness
which is so apt to mingle with those of later
growth. "There is an awakening of the heart
of its old sympathies." We meet not in the
present, but in the past. We meet not as we
are, but as we were. Our thoughts run like
floating melody to the evenings, in which we
offered flowers, which were accepted with kind
smile of simplest thankfulness, and talked of
our stirring plans Of days to come. This, how
ever, though pleasant illusion, can never last
long We soon awake to know that it is but
an ilIusion-that we have indeed lost many of
the heart treasures on the road we have travel

Love of Country.
The following Patriotic and noble sentiments
are well worthy careful perusal:

The following Patriotic and noble sentiments
are well worthy careful perusal:
Love of country is characteristic trait of
our nature. 1t is worldwide universal, bound
less as humanity. 1t is indelibly impressed up
on our existence AMID all changes, and is APP
preciated equally by the enlightened, the civil
lied and the sage-the illterate and refined of
our species. 1t has been theme for the poet
and philosopher. 1t has inspired the patriot,
and allured the enthusiastic youth.
We owe much TO our country. The manners
and customs of its inhabitants, its geographical
position and form of government, all tend to
stamp peculiar and original reflex upon the
individual mind, which evidence themselves in
various ways in our intercourse with mankind.
We may leave the land of our birth, and So
journ in a far distant country amongst stran-
gers. FAR away from our early associates and
youthful friends, whom we love and esteem, yet
with the rising of the sun is our memory awak
ened and refreshed by the remembrance of the
numerous Incidents which tended to engross our
thoughts while in their midst and we look for
ward with emotions of qualification to the time
when we shall again set foot upon her shores,
and revisit those well-known scenes, where
stNot leaf that falls but trembling teens
With golden visions and romantic dreams''
The sterile mountains of Switzerland, or the
highlands and dales of Scotland have still their
Tells and Wallaces in feeling and devotion for
their native land. There yet breathe amid the
vine-clad hills of France and Lombardy men
whose spirits are yet unbroken, whose passion
ate love for home knows no bounds.
The mourntul strains of the harp of Erin still
linger in the ears OF Ireland's true aad faithful
sons. awakening a responsive echo in their
breast in almost every land. Merry England
and CLASSIC Greece have each their admirers.
The stern unyielding Leonidas in the pass of
Thermopylee, or the virtuous selfdenial of Soc
rates, are bright examples, which are not without
their influence for good on the men Of this age,
cheering them on, inspiring them with hope
that at some future day, exclusive privileges
and arbitrary laws which press so heavily on
the Industrious population, will be substituted
by the eternal principles of equity and justice.
Equally so in respect to the Mother Country"
Her possessions in almost every part of the
world, her mechanical skill and industry, her
| commerce and wealth; the position she occupies
| amongst the nations Of the earth-all conspire
| to claim it with unwontoned pride, as the land
of their nativity. Like a dim vision of some
departed. We ! animated at the sound,
