WHAT THE TOUCH OF THE MOUNTAIN
SOP DID.-The poetcss made the Wal
denses sing grand old hymn, the burden
of which is:
For the strength of the hills we bless thee,
Our Colour Fathers Cod
Thou hast made their children mighty;
By the touch of the mountain sod
But it was not alone for its sheltering
cave far up where the eagles were at
home; nor merely for its paths, like the
ladder of angels in the dream in the viii
derness, leading toward Heaven; there is
deeper philosophy in it than this The
touch of the mountain sod did impart
strength of sinew and of purpose, and an
elasticity Of spirit as we'll as of step,
made those hearts of theirs, the "charter
oaks of religious liberty. Switzerland
has read the lesson of the Alps until,
like her teachers, she glows with the last,
lingering beams of old world Freedom !;
for how can one read a great thought
from infancy to age-a thought lifted by
the tidal power of a greater than the
the moon, above the world-a thought all
permanent and powerful, that has great
winters of hewn granite hanging like frost
fakes around its brow, and upon whose
summit morning sets her sandal of pearl,
a moment out of Heaven, as she alights
upon the world, without a quicker play
OF heart and freer swell of soul.

ScIENcE.-The true is science, and all
besides are the husks and refuse which
no man can assimilate. The true is ev
erywhere and in everything-the false in
man alone. 1t is he that makes the un-
true by his erroneous comparisons, his
rash judgments, and his incorrect esti-
mate of the relations of things. Nature
is blamed by the prcsumptious sciolist
because he cannot understand her occult
ways, nor pierce the heliacal glory in
which she moves majestically along her
appointed course. Blinded by her light,
he never dreams of the imperfection of
his own organs.

THE EVIL SPIRIT OF DIsCoNTENT.-
Man is strangely constituted animal
There ever turks in his breast a restless
unsatisfed spirit, which prompts him to
seek for change. In whatever circum-
stances he may be placed-no matter how
fully his actual wants may be supplied
he still imagines that he might be better
off, and so is prompted to abandon a pre-
sent good for a prospective better Es-
pecially in California does this state OF
mind exist, stimulated by the circum-
stances which surround our people. Ad-
venturers, all, in search of fortune, the
acquisition of wealth has assumed in our
eyes the appearance of being the greatest
good-the only end and aim of life. The
feverish anxiety thus caused is promotive
of discomfort and unhappiness, leading
us to overlook the little things of life, a
due attention to which, under any cir
cumstances, will promote true happiness.
An humble home adorned with smiling
faces, and made cheerful by the presence
of contented minds, is the highest earthly
good that man can attain, notwlthstand-
ing all his ambitious strivings for distlnc-
ton and show When will mortals learn
this truth and give heed to its wise teach
ings !-iSonora Herald.
San Andreas independent., 1858-06-05

SELF Observation-Disclosures self dis
cipline, nothing efficient can be done by
force of teaching or by the best arrange
ment of most favorable circumstances
The individual must have a desire to
make progress, and must exercise his own
powers in making it. 1t is when he
cheerfully, with voluntary labor and
watching, applies himself to learn and to
become good, that success crowns the en-
deavor Then there is no wasted effort,
no restraint, no dead weight of unwilling
faculties; but all the powers consenting
do their parts unitedly and zealously-
everything helps, nothing hinders, and
difficulties give way. Hence it is that
many of the most distinguished men in
letters and in arts, are individuals who
have risen by their own efforts, in spite
of circumstances, self-taught; while crowds
of those on whom circumstances and in
struction had lavished the first opportu-
mites of the age, have been forgotten in
their mediocrity, because they made no
effort for themselves. So also in morals
BY determined efforts of self discipline,
many have healed their bad dispositions,
and resisted adverse circumstances of
temptation, and wrought out high char
acters of virtue; while others-guarded
carefully by all the circumstances of their
life from temptation and trial; brought
up in the midst of pure influences early
taught, by precept and example, the fear
of God and the honoro of doing his will
have yet, for want of self discipline, sunk
away before temptation, and died cor
rupted and hopeless. There is no edu-
cation like self-education. Without it
there is no strength to the character, nor
assurance of happy end.-Rev. Henry
Wurc
