SM!IE.-A smile is indeed thing of beau
ty. whether living on the lips of gladstone youth
or Pickering on the dying features of worn ont
age. it holds its beauty still. Whether making
loneliness yet more winsome or rendering ugli-
ness less repulsive than is wont, smile yet
holds its nature-yet is beautiful Magic turks
therein, and sways the human heart as words
never can; quickens its silent pulse or soothes
and Gains the hurried throb as there nav be
need. And beneath the encouraging influence
of one sweet upholding smile. the heart itself
may change its mood. if not its nature-may
yield its mad intent. if not cast out it's evil
promptings and its dark propensites. And 20
may the snaife of dersion madden beyond what
the utmost words can do-even as the smile OF
praise will spur Humanity TO great and noble
deeds, beyond the approach Of all other prompt
ing. Its silent power sinks into the heart and
heals some new made thrust. as sweetly and
gently as falls the mysterious dew from heaven.

The MooN.-Dr. Scoresby, in an account that
he has given of some recent observations made
with tie Earl of ROSES telescope, says: "With
respect to the modon, every object on Its sur-
face Of one hundred feet was now distinctly to
be seen, aud he had no doupt that under favour
BILE circumstances, it would be so with objects
sixty feet in height. On it's surface we're era
tiers Of extinct volcanoes, rocks, and masses of
stones, almost innumerable. He had no doubt
that ifsuch a building as be was then In were
npon the surface Of the moon 1t would be rem
dered di tinctly visible by these instruments.
But there were no sign Of inhabitants such as
ours-no vestige of architecture remains to show
that the moon is or ever was inhabited by
race of mortals similar to ourselves It pre-
senteG no appearance which could lead to the
snpposition that it contained anything like
the green field and lovely verdure Of this beau
tiful world ofours. There was no water visible
not sea. or river, or even the measure of
reservoir for supplying town or factory-all
seemed desolate."

The Ups and Downs of California;.

There 10 probably no country in the world in
which the vcissitudcs of life have been more
fully exemplifed than in California The rich
man of yesterday is beggar to-day and he
who few years ago was tumbling at the foot
of the ladder in his vain efforts even to gain the
lowest round. is now at the head-rides around
in his COACH and fares sumptuously every day
But there is nothing in California which should
warrant such violent reverses, and they are to
be attributed rather to wild speculations and
the slovenly manner of doing business which
has so long prevailed, than any radical error in
our local system. Even cities and towns are
not exempt from the changes observable in hu
man life. A rich mining locality is discovered
The people flock there. The tents and rude
cabins Of the miners give place to lashy stores
and handsome residences. Real estate goes I'D
Small building lots are purchased with avidity,
and the man OF small capital who has invested
his all in speculatons OF this kind, sits down at
his ease, with the confidence that he is identified
With the rising little town, and that as it pro-
crosses ne will progress, and finally leave his
heirs mllionaires but a change often comes
over the spirit of his dreams. The mining To-
calites in the vicinity do not continue to be as
Profitable as at first. One by one the population
leave, attracted by the reports of richer Dig
glngs bat still be hopes ON, and never gives
up till silence reigns where once were life and
hustle, and the green grass grows over the de-
serted streets. Here is case in point, copied
from the Aar,posa Gazet.e
Pleasant Valley, on the MERGED river, which
grew up mushroom-like, little more than a
year ago. Is now comparatively deserted. In
passing through it recently we were much as
tcnished to see the change within few months.
Most OF the buildings, including the Hotel.
which was one OF the largest structures in the
county, have been taken down and removed to
more favored locations, or sold as lumber. the
builders and owners of which have suffered large
losses through their inconsiderate enterprise.
We saw but two persons in the place. Crows
and ravens were the tenants at pleasure of the
butchers shop, and numbers of lean dogs and
balf-starved cats swarmed about the place, seek
Ing something to devour. We Judge from what
we saw, that the place had gone in"
