WHAT YOUNG NEWTON DID-was
thus told by Lord Brougham, the octo-
gcnarian philosopher, on the occasion of
inaugurating a statue in honor of Sir
Isaac Newton, at Grantham, England,
Sept. Fl
Within four years. between the age of Is and %, no
had begun study mathematical science, and had Ia
ken his place among its greatest masters, learned ior
the first time the elements of geometry and analysis,
and discovered calculus which entirely changed the face
of science efectng revolution in that and in every
branch philosophy connected with it, Before 1861 he
had not read Euclid; in 1865 he had committed to wri-
ting the method of fuxons. At % years of he had
discovered the law of gravitatio and laid the found
ton of celestial dynanics tho science created by him.
Before ten years had elapsed he added his discoveries
that of the fundamental properties oflight brilliant
of discovery, in SO short time changing and
reconstrnctng analytical, astronomical and optical
science almost defes belief The statement could only
be deemed possible by appeal to the incontestible
evidence that proves it strictly true. By felicity
these doctrines gained the universal assent of mankind
they clearly understood, and their Or
ginality has never been seriously called in question:

CALIFORNIA EXPORTS. Better than
gold are the exports of our State, for they
tell of her permanent resources and in
dustry. Two vessels are now loading
with grain (barley and oats), for Aus
tralia, the Alexander and Lucknow.
Messrs. Moore & Folger have cleared
the ship Peruvian for N. Y with full car
60 of home products, valued at S120, 900;
consisting Of 2O,446 sacks of barley,
1856 bales of wool, 10, 057 hides. Messrs.
d. Glib & Co. have cleared the ship Or
acle for Iquique, Peru. This ship carries
1910 sacks of barley, 5S4 sacks of
oats and 100, 900 feet of lumber. Thus
are we enriching our State, land these are
glorious signs and should encourage all.
Soon the stream will turn in our favor,
and gold will come back to us.

BOOTH AND THE BURTON MAKERS
We think of a gone-out story of the
great actor: He appeared at the Biz
mingham theater, in England place
once famous for the manufacture of brass
being not yet famous,
played night after night with little or no
effect; the surly Englishers saw nothing
to applaud At length Booth, deeply
disguised, but still determined, played
I" Richard" with all his powers; applause
broke out and increased to storm, and
at the conclusion the triumphant 'Rich-
ard was called out and received by the
uprising audience. His hour of triumph
was at hand, and attempting to speak
every other voice was hushed. Assum-
ing most diabolical expression discern,
and scowling on the audience moment
he said" What dye think of that, yc
id Jutton-n,akers?" Richard left
hastily with the button-makers at his
heels. - Trinity Journal

THERE is much said about the digni-
ty of labor; and it is just as applicable
to female labor as to male. Let the wo-
man who chooses hard toll and honest
industry, rather than crime and shame,
hold high position in the estimation of
her sex. Let her be honorcd as she de-
serves Let her know that she has the
appreciation Of the just and the good !;
and this knowledge will give her conf
dcncc and courage, and render pointless
many Of the thorns which on every side
beset her path. Hesprrion

SUDDEN DEATH.-When the invalid,
long racked on the bed of pain, is re-
leased from his suffering, we feel that
the Office of death is one of kindness !;
but there is a terror in the sudden sum-
mons which calls soul from the midst
of life that startles us with thrilling
awe. Without preparation, or mo
ment's space for reflection, the spirit is
crushed from its tenement of earth, and
mangled mass Of human clay is all that
remains of form that moved among us,
sentient with thought and vigor. What
bright anticipations Of competence may
have filed the toiler's heart but mo-
ment before the instant crush that seal
ed the period of his existence; and to
"the loved ones at home' the oft repeat
ed story of the miners fate must once
more be told: "Crushed by Falling

THE GLACIERS.


The immense ice-felds of the Alps are
thus forcibly and clearly described by
a wandering New England clergyman in
a letter to the Springfield, Mass, Re
publican =
In the high Alps, between the differ
ent peaks, and often furrowing the sides
of single mountains, are enormous ra-
vines, often several miles in width, and
extending in their windings from six to
TENN length. Into these the enormous
masses of snow, ever accommodating on
the nights above, slide down by force of
gravity or plunge suddenly as avalanches,
the mass ever advancing by its own
weight. AS soon as it has progressed
below the line of perpetual frost, it be-
gins to melt under the rays of the sun,
and the water percolating the whole mass
reduces it to a kind of slush. Night
comes on, and the heat of the sun no
longer felt, it is frozen into granular
ice. Its weight is enormous, it rests on
steep slope, incredible tracks of snow
are pressing it behind, springs Of water
are melting it underneath, and tits forced
slowly down the ravine. Centuries pass,
and the continual advance, and continual
new additions behind, have made it
miles in length. 1t now reaches down
into the green valley beneath, and is
connected in its rear with the eternal
SHOWS of the summit. Thus is formed
river Of ice, insensibly but slowly flow
ingon its course, and perhaps two miles
in width and ten in length. Encounter
ing in its journey narrow passes where
the sides of the ravine come more closely
together, and yet driven on by the ire
sistible weight behind, and its own mo-
mentum, the ice becomes rent and up
heaved into thousand fantastic forms.
Huge seams are opened through which
you look down hundreds of feet into its
blue depths, pinacles are thrown up
which the rain and sun polish and sharp
en-, and torrents of melting waters dash
headlong across, till they plunge into an
open crevasse. Where the glacier is
still in an advancing condition, the ground
at its base, against which it presses, is
heaved up in huge rolls, and forests are
slowly snapped line by line, like pipe
stems. AS the enormous mass grinds
along, it reduces the hard rock of the
mountain side to fine powder. Two
feet per day is about the average advance
of the glaciers, and ON either side are
thrown up enormous heaps, miles in
length and often five hundred feet in
hight, of shattered stones, that have fall
len on it, or been torn off in its course.

COMPOSED AT MIDNIGHT.

From broken visions of perturbed rest
i wake, and start, and fear to sleep again.
How total priyatiOn of all sounds,
Sights. and familiar objects, man, bird, beast,
Herb, tree, or flower, and prodigal light of heaven
'Twere some relief to catch the drowsy cry
of the mechanic Waterman, or tho noise
OF revel recling home from midnight cups.
Those are the meanings of the dying man,
Who lies in the upper chamber; restless means,
And interrupted only by a cough
COnsumptive, torturng the wasted lungs.
So in the bitterness of death he lies,
And waits in anguish for the mornings light.
What can that do for him, or what restore?
Short taste, faint sense, affecting notices,
And little images of pleasures past,
OF health, and active life-health not yet slain,
Nor the other grace of life, q good name, sold
For sins black wages. On his tedious bed
lie writhes, and turns him from the accusing light,
And finds no comfort in the sum- but rays
"When night comesI shall get alittle rest"
Some few groans more death comes and there end
IT'S darkness and conjecture all beyond
Weak Nature fears, though Charity must hope,
And Fancy, most icentious such themes,
Where decent reverence well had kept her mute,
Hath o'erstockedh with devils, and brought down,
BY her enormous fablings and mad lies,
Discredit on the gospels serious truths
And salutary fears. The man of parts,
Poet, or prose declaimer, on his couch
Loling like one Indifferent, fabricates
heaven of gold, where he, and such ashe,
Their heads cncompass'd with crowns, their heels
With fine wings garlanded shall tread the stars
Beneath their feet heavens pavement, far removed
From damn'd spirits, and the torturing cries
Of men, his brethren, fashioned of the earth,
As he was nourish'd with the selfsame bread,
Belize his kindred or companions once
Through everlasting ages now divorced,
In chains and savage torments to repent
Short years of folly on earth. Their groans unheard
In hcay'n, the saint nor pity feels, nor care,
For those thus sentcnced-pity might disturb
The delicate sense and most divine repose
OF spirits angelical. BLESSED be God,
NJ IL -
BY mans erroneous standard. He discerns
No such inor1inate difference and vast
Between tho sinner and the saint, to doom
Such disproportion'd fates. Compared with him.
No man earth is holy called: they best
Stand in his sight approved who at his feet
Their little crowns Of virtue cast, and yield
To him of his own works the praise, his due.
Charles Lamb.

ADVENTURES correspondent of
the Mountain Democrat, Placerville,
who signs himself by the amusing title
of "a Wild Irishman," thus expresses
his admiration for the worlds pioneers:
A fine, plodding, old-fogy world this
would be, were it not for those energetic
and fiery characters who lacked-to use
the self-fattering cant of your stupid,
nerveless men-the necessary discipline
and balance of mind to submit themselves
to the restraints of society, and plod the
beaten road of precedent and custom
Adventures have been the founders of
nations and dynasties, the tramplers of
tyranny, the organizers Of republics, the
leaders of armies, the discoveries of
continents, of stars and of systems
They wander far in search acknowledge,
and tell us of other lands and people
The pestilent and burning airs of Africa,
the fierce and frozen terrors of the North
Pole, only stimulate them the more
Who has not sympathized with poor
Mungo Park in his solitary wanderings,
and more lonely death? What Euro
pean, what American, but has sighed
over the uncertain fate of the heroic
Franklin? And who has not mourned
over the untimely death of America
dearest, gentlest and most chivalrous
knight, who has thrown around the icy
regions Of the North the spirit of such
interest, of such noble humanity, ofsuch
high and holy poetry3 Who holds not
sacred the memory Of the enthusiastic,
the indomitable, the too adventurous
KANE?
do not yield all admiration to that
class of humanity who believe scarcely
any more than they see; who follow only
where the way is plain, visible and dis
tinct. / also admire those who believe
IN what is reasonable or probable, who
dare to follow where there is glimmer-
ing of light.

bGThe annual product of American
industry in periods Of prosperity (says
Gov. Banks is not less than four thou
sand million dollars. A thousand mil
lions are paid in wages alone. A sum
equal to the aggregate national debt of
Great Britain is earned every year by
those who constitute the industrial clas-
ses in the United States. Such an in
dustrial product, regularly repeated ev-
cry year, and increasing in the ratio of
seventy-fve per centum in every decen-
NAL, is fact never before recorded in
the industrial history of nations. It
suggests, to us, how deep an interest
the American people have in the per-
petuation Of that peace with other ma
tions which they now enjoy.

A RUSSIAN Acknowledged
Taylor describes the railroad from Mos
COW to St. Petersburg as being the finest
in the world 1t is 400 miles in length,
and the cars, which were built in Amer
lea, travel over it in twenty hours. 1t
is quite straight. Woods, hills, swamps,
ravines, rivers, may intersect the road,
but it swerves not a hair from the di-
rect course, except where such dehec-
ton is necessary to keep the general
level between Moscow and the Volga:
"There thirty-three stations between Moscow
and St. Petersburg. At tho most of these the station
houses palaces, all built exactly alike, and
scale of magnifcence which scorns expense. great
deal of needless luxury has been wasted upon them.
The bridges alsoare models of solidity aud durability
Every thing the granest SCALE and the punctu-
atty and exactness of the running arrangements are
worthy of all praise. But at what cost has AL this
been accomplished This road, four hundred miles in
LENGTH level country, with very few cuts, en-
bankments and bridges, except between Moscow and
Tyer about fourth of the dstance has been built
Mt an expense of 40 100000 of rubies $3.50 or
$225, 900 per mile. When takes into consideration
the cheapness of labor in Russia the sum becomes still
more enormous.
The work was not only conducted by American en-
gineers but Mr. Winans the chief engineer Is at pres
emit carrying the running business under contract
with the Government. His principal assistants are
also Americans. This contract, which originally
for ten years. has yet three years to at the end of
which time Mr. Winans will be able to live upon what
he has earned His annual profit upon the contract is
said to be million rubles Some idea of its liberal
character may be obtained from the fact that his allow
for grease alone is three silver cOpecs Verst for
each whesl-about 81 cents amilc or, with an ordi-
nary tran some 800 for the from Moscow to St.
Petersburg His part of the contract is faithfully
and admirably discharged and he is of course fairly
entitled all he make. It is not to be wondered
at however, that the receipts of the road last year
ceeded the expenditures by few thousand rubles

HEALTH OF THE ELECTRIC TELE-

the spark of life is extinct. The most
eminent physicians in electricity declare
it is only case of suspended animation

counts report favorably that the patient
is fast mending. In day or two,
strong hopes are entertained at Valentia,

A GIGANTIC PIECE OF FLATTERY.-
In one of Taylor's recent letters he de-
scribes the summer palace and park be-
longing to a Russian Count, and mar
rates in connection with it the following
strange incident
"Around the garden with its clipped hedges, flower
BEDS and statues stretches for many verst forest of
tall frs which breaks the violence of the winter Winds
Here the of of those gigantic pieces of
attery by which the courtiers of Catherine H. sought
to win keep her favor During visit of that En-
press to Astankna, she remarked to the proprietor
Were it not for the Forest you would be able to

of serfs work. and in few days afterward prevailed
upon the Empress to pay him another visit. "Your
Majesty" he said, regretted that the forest should
shut out my view of Moscow. 1t shall do no longer
He thereupon waved his hand and there was move
ment among the trees. They rocked backward and
