One more week Of care and labor

One more week of care and labor
Has lazily crept away;
To the weary world rest and quiet
Are sent down from Heaven to-,
Tho sun shines with holy splendor
The wind is little and mild,
Iiie trees to and fro hcavc rs gent
AS the breast of sleeping chill.
Scattered clouds are pacing slowl,
Over glittering fields Of blue,
And often they seem to turn and
AS church going people do.
The bells are at morning service
In the churches all around;
They ring not their week day cla,
But a softened, Sunday sound,
All, ring they sadly or mcrrily,
Ring they luu'l or ever slow,
lhcy cannot still the struggle
That the living spirit must kno,
In sunshine and stormy weather,
BY night as well rs by day,
The soul must still be striving,
Striving. lnboring alway:
Never feel the noisy passions
The peace Of q Sabbath day.
Yet shall there come in the futu,
a Sabbath forihc soul ;
The bells shall not ring in its NOR
Slowly, sadly, shall they toll,
In the grave so dark and silent,
Is the sabbath of the soul.

TIE MODERN pCLPIT.-Thc oracular
power and virtue which once dwet in the
pulpit haYc departed to the printing press
on the other side of the street. Tie par
ish church which once lorded it over the
landscape and pointed itsa steeple, like
still finger Of hushing awe over the land
scape, and even the minister, which lifted
upa broader hand Of more imperative
power, have found formidable rivals not only
in the Dissenting chapel, but in the private
school, nay, in the public house OF the vii
lage, where men talk, and think, and form
passionate purposes over newspapers. Ser
mons arc now criticised, not obeycd; and
when our modern Pauls preach, our Felxes
yawn instead Of trembling. Ministers
have become timid and apoIogetic class
the fearlcssness Of Knox is seldom met
with, save among the fanatics of their num-
Der, in whom it looks simply luaicrous.
The thunders7of the pulpit have died away,
or, when they are awakened, it is through the
preachers determination to be popular, or
throug h the agitation Of bis despair ;s he
in general consults1anot commands, the
tsstssof his audience; and his word, unlike
his professed Masters, is. WITHOUT Authority,
and therefore as that of the Safibes, nay,
less powerful than them. John Howe couId'
preach six hours to unwearied t6foBgs; 90
years ago Edward Irving could protract his
speech till midnight; but sermon of three
quarters Of an hour, even from eloquent lips,
is thought sufficiently exhaustive, both Of
the subject and Of the audience Gifllan.
AN IMPORTANT Motive PowER.-We
learn through the Cheraw gazette that Prof
Salmon who has been. engaged for moro
than ten yearo, endeavoriug to construct
sulph oil carbonic acid engine, to supercede

has piston of twelve inches stroke

we had to leave the Dogtown stage and
take horses to Frenchtown, (Which was very

where we took mules for the rest of our trip
Going through Spanishtown, we took the

lagos are respectively five and nine miles
from Frenchtown on the ridge north Of
Concow. 1t commenced raining and hailing
and by the time we reached Flea Valley
the storm came on so hard that we were
compelled to halt at small cabin at the
head Of the valley. Soon after stopping a
regular snow storm set in, which decided US
upon camping for the night and returning
the next morning. We found the cabin &C.
upied by MI. Sanford, who extended to US
every kindness possible He with Mr.
Fairbanks of Frenchtown have taken up

were about starting on our return yesterday

at the cabin from them we learned that
there was good Wagon road from Spanish
town to within one mile of Flea Valley;
over which teams are hauling heavy loads
of lumber for fiuming the Frenchtown
ditch Mr.. Evens thinks it will be COM
pleted in ten or twelve days. We were also
informed by several parties who seemed to
be familiar with the country, that wagon
road could be easily made through these
Valleys to Honey Lake, but all said the
road through Dogtown would be the most
practical and less liable t. distractions
from snow, and far easier and cheaper than
any other route. Returning, we had from
the top of the ridge. south of Concow Valley
a splendid view of the Coast Range, Sacra-
pento Valley, Butte Creek, Table Mountain
and the Buttes At Yankee Hill we found

quartz down a long chute to their new Mill

then drifting to, and cutting through the

The Board of Supervisors were occupied
during the greater part of the day with
the application of H. B. Lathrop, for re-
newal of license to run ferry across
Feather River, at or near Oroville The
application was contested by Messrs. Moore,
Henshaw and Ord, owners of the Fernandez
grant upon which the opposite landing of
the ferry is situated W. H. Rhodes Esq
for petitioner. and P. Ord Esq for remon-
strunce. The examination of witnesses and
the arguments of counsel, occupied sew
eral hours, and hundreds of square feet of
law books were brought forward to aid the
Board iu coming to decision The whole
question evidently turns upon the title to
the land The Board took the matter un-
der Amusement, and will render their decis-
ion to-day.
In the matter of the Bidwell Bridge Com
pany, it appearing to the satisfaction of the
Board that the company had constructed
good and substantial wire suspension
bridge, as shown by the certificate of the
County Judge, on file; the Boord declared
the said Company invested with the right to
keep toll bridge at Bidwell, for the term
of fifty wears, in accordance with the law
declaring them an Incorporated company
and adopted the following order.
''And it is further ordered that said CON-
pany execute an undertaking with two good
and sufficient sureties in the penal sum of
FIVE thousand dollars, the same being made
payable and conditioned according to law
the same to stand as the undertaking in
this matter during the full term of the
eompany's organization.
Upon the adoption of this order, Super
visor Randall and Cannon voted .saye," and
Supervisor Euffum voted mo The counsel
for the company thereupon excepted to the
ruling of the Baard, ordering the under
taking in the sum of five Thousand dollars.
or in any other sum, and filed said under
taking under protest, reserving to the COM
pany and its sureties all legal objections to
the said order, and asked that the excep-
tons be entered upon the records of the
Board When the que ton came up of en-
tering the protest on the record, Messrs
Randall and Canaan voted "aye," and Mr..
Butfum voted mo- so that the order and
the exceptions went upon the record to-
gether.
