TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO SING

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO SING
Nothing so much promotes harmony of
temper and a healthy digestion in the
young frame. DR.. Rush said that the
reason the Germans are so robust and
so seldom die of consumption, owing to
their strong lungs, is because they are
always singing. They are taught sing
ing in their public and private schools
on elementary principles, as they are
taught grammer; and German children,
universally, can read music as they read
the letter press of book. They sing
as children, and they sing all through
life, and are consequently exempt from
the penalties attendant upon the weak,
unexercised lungs of our less vigorous
race.

VALLEYS OF THE SIERRA.-A cor.
respondent of the Christian Advocate
writes on this subject as follows:
The oak reaches the altitude of 3, go
feet on the Sierra Nevada, the pine about
5000, and the higher portions are
clothed with fir. The trees on the sum-
mits are covered with moss to within
ten or twelve feet of the ground. The
subsistence of the moss distinctly marks
the height to which the snow stood on
them the previous winter. Where it
drifts into canyons it may be found at
all depths The first point below this,
where the snow does not disturb winter
grazing, is the Big Meadows, on the
Main Truckey. 1t is nearly on level
with the Wassaw and Carson Valleys,
to the south, and Honey Lake Valley to
the north. They, all together, extend
along the base of the mountains, about
100 miles. Wassaw is about 80 miles in
length, by five in breadth, Truckey
Meadow is about ten by four, Honey
Lake Valley, some sixty by ten. Carson
is too well known to need description
it is nearly settled up. The other VAL
leys are fast settling, and Honey Lake
contains about one hundred families.
Nine-tenths of these, alas, are bachelors.
These valleys contain much fertile land,
and mills are in progress of erection.
These are but links ola chain of valleys,
extending along the eastern slope of the
Nevadas, from the TETON Pass to Oregon.
Owing to the greater amount of rain
near the summit of the mountain range,
the higher valleys are more fertile in
heritage than those near the base. But
their nights are so frosty, they produce
no grain as yet but oats, and but few of
the hardest vegetables. This is the
case of Sierra Valley. The lower val
leys have SO little rain, they depend
principally on irrigation, and the native
moisture of the soil where it exists
for agriculture. They produce all the
grains and vegetables. M
Sierra Valley is about 80 miles long
by Is in breadth. 1t is walled in by
mountains on every side, except where
we entered it on the east, and where
Feather river leaves it on the west. Be
side large surface of sage, it has sew
eral thousand acres of good grass. The
snow seldom falls more than three feet,
andSpes not lie long. If railroad
ever comes through the South Pass, it
will find a much lower altitude and
grade( over the summit) through Sierra,
than Carson valley. There are about
twenty families employed in taking hay
to the mining towns, and few are pros
pering by cattle and butter. We wish
ted warm sulphur spring on the north
side of the valley, temperature 1O3.
The pure and bracing air-the fine field
for fishing and hunting-the ever vary
ing beauty of the scene, and curative
quality of the water, are making it quite
summer resort for inyalids.

in his annual report, that, in spite of his

partially complied with. Out of tie

twenty three had furnished him with
duplicate registrations, and some of
these were SO meagre as to be almost yal--

As he observes, 'to the political econ

nation afforde d by full and correct
registration is of the utmost value, en-
bodying, as it does, a statement of facts
comprising all the relations of man in
health and disease,-the increase of the
population of country, vital and
mortuary statistics, Its climatology,
and the class and character of its pre-
yailing diseases" The city of Geneva,

careful and correct registration for more

PLURALITY OF WORLDS. Col E D.

this subject, and argued against the the
DRY that the other planets are Inhabited

this world by the Saviour. +" Were
the inhabitants of all the other plan
