TNsTABuITY OF SKEPTICIsM.--It is the custom
of too many persons, particularly, in this State,
to affect contemptuous indifference to religious
institutions; so much so, that the superficial ex-
aminer readily concludes that we are common
wealth Of infdels But, in such conclusion be is
mistaken; we are persuaded that among the
respectable class Of citizens, the comparative
number of real skeptics is not great. Beneath
the rough surface Of society an immortal principle
underlies-the recognition of a creating and
governing intelligence. We perceive its mani
festations in the solemn professions of benevolent
Orders, in the death-chsmber, and on the scafold,
where the abandoned wretch quails as the view
less doors Of eternity are set ajar Man must
everywhere, have something 10 worship; every
people have discovered some object Of alteration
or fear to which they might stretch imploring
hands in overwhelming calamity, and which it
we're base impiety and peril to insult. The
naughty Crecian, panoplied for the battle, bowed
reverenty before the oracle Of his divinity, and
the savage Northman, burthened with his rude
armor, forgot not to petition TO his gods; and

articulation in the thunder and perceives the
sheen of terrible celestial armor in the tourna-
ments of conflicting clouds. 1t is reserved for
the children of civilization, only, born among
the echoes of prayer, baptized in temples reared
to the living God and buried in ground where
sorrowful statuary seems TO recognize an immor
tality which the grave cannot contain, to question
the being of an Overriding Power or the posi-
bility of an existing revelation
But infdclity grows pale as he nears the opening
portals of that monster haunted house in which
be bad hoped to shut up the soul. The wrathful
threatenings Of ocean, the admontory jar Of an
earthquake, the cammy grasp Of the hand Of pesti
frightful machinery of the gallows destroy the
pillars Of his reason-theOlogy and he prays pite
ously. We have no faith in the inldels philoso
ply; il melts in the hot fevers which consume
the blood, and dissolves in the damp atmosphere
rising fromdhe new made grave. There is an
Hereafter declared in the proclamations Of
storms, in the day uprising from the supuchre Of
night, by the cataract that ruins Of the
fallen masonry of nature, by the crimson leaf
whrling in the gale, aud by the lowliest plant
that dsplaces the sand grain TO lift its joyful face
in gratitude TO heaven--evorywhere and in all,
from the mmutable hills to the pebble trembling
in the dying embrace of a andward coming wave,
from the blazing planet to the spark slumbering
in the womb of the rock, an index finger of Deity
points out an hereafter, and intmates eternity
to man"

SHORT MONUMENTAL SHADOWS or THE PooR.-
An editor has been out to the cemetery, among
the monuments, reading the literature Of mortal
ity. He walked all about and saw splendid de-
signs commemorative of some one having lived
and died; he tells us the name of the fortunate
dead over whom rich relatives have chisccd
embems of grief and bereaycment-an there
the record ends We wonder if there are any
places in that city Of the dead where plain slab
or rough hewn sand stone shows when and upon
whom the world has shut the door?-whether
from the edge of some sunken parallelogram
weeds, and grass, and dying flowers do not reach
down to amalgamate with the dust Of the poor !
Is there no short and narrow hllock without a
monument, where human tracks are seen! Is
there no name, roughly cut on a board, which, if
mentioned in the village paper, would make a
living heart throb with gratitude at the kind re-
membrance Of stranger? Or is there nothing
but rich monuments and costly sculpturings in
that province of Deaths great empire?

RIDGE AND Ross.-The Beacon lately publish

JOHN r. RIDGE, now editor of the Marysville

Ross and Ridge, celebrated in Southwestern sto-

who is familiar with the scenes OF murder and
retribution connected with that war OF extermi-
nation. He says that being slave, hewas one
night ordered to keep cattle for one OF the Ross
pariv. but about midnight John X. Ridge and
Charley Mcintosh came upon them, raised the war
whoop, and cleaned out the camp, " Handsome

THE BLIND GIRLS LETTER.-A miner, long
away from the endearments of earlier home,
showed us a letter which he had received from a
sightless and beautiful friend. IT was written by
herself and the elegant execution Of her pencil
conveyed the elegant emanations Of cultivated
mind, and the fond and cheering expressions Of
womany esteem. Pleased with the very mention
able production we asked him if it would be
proper in us to say, that we had seen her letter
and admired it not only as curiosity but as a
finished evidence Of a perfect method by which
the blind are taught to read and write. lie said,
" Yes, she'll be glad to see her letter noticed in
the paper"
Infancy. blind though its eyes be open, from
unestablished intelligence of vision, is classified
as beautined innocence, unimpressible embodl-
ment of sem-angelc, all sympathy deserving and
elciting humanity. This castle of infantile rights
is impregnable, but we would decide, that in the
little department Of saDctilied beauty, no being
can by its mere presence, so gently awake the
reposing guides of sympathy, as blind girl who
is near or within the summer season of woman
hood. She is living likeness of the sculpture
face, the features all true and expressive, save
those illuminated windows where the soul looks
out and souls look in. But though there can be
no looking out nor in, no swift messages from the
bright stations of the eyes, communion sweet and
heaven like is the more perfect and uninterrupted
Blind, yet she can hear; and there is wonderful
melody in her voice Blind, yet she has an un-
derstanding which may penetrate to all that is
pure and valuable in written knowledge. Blind,
vet she can know of what those who see, call
beautiful; and hearing Of the glories that grace
the going of this ambitious life, she behods them
in the mind unattended by the evil and deformed
servitors which dance perpetually in the physical
sight Sierra Citizen.
