LEGAL WITTICIShI,

A celebrated lawyer in Missouri, being
! once opposed to Mr.. S., late member
Of Congress, lie remarked as follows to The
jury. upon a disagreement between them ::
Here, my brother S---and | differ.
Now this is very natural. Men seldom sec
things in the saruc light; and they may
disagree in opinion upon tho simplest
principles Of the law, and that very honestly;
while, at the same time, neither can see any
earthly reason why they should. Anl
this is merely because they look at different
sides of the subject, and do not view it i'll
all its bearing. Suppose, for Illustration,
a man should come in here, aud boldly AS

THE sINGI%G STUDENT BOY.

Many yeats ago ii stu,lcn, boy was seen
and heard in the streets OF an ancient town
singing. lie WAS s,uht, plainly dressed
Toy, but his face WAS pale. and his eyes
were sad and fearful. His voice WAS most
musical, aud the songs he sa,g were in
hrauii:ul wor,l, and about sacred things
Every time he finished a song, he stepped
! to Il house and gave a gentle tap. When
/, it was opened. he said in gentle tones:
'P!ea>c give Il poor student boy morsc
! Of bread
, Brgone with thee. thou hr@car's child,
WAS tic rough reply that met his ear as the
poor child shrank from the steps.
Thus driven from door TO door, he SANG
his sweet songs until lis body was weary
! and his heart sad. Scarcely able TO stand
lie at las, turned his steps homeward. S,rik
ing his noble forehead with lis hand, he
said
4 must go home to my fathers house
and be CONTEXT to live by the sweat Of my
brow. Providence has no loftier destiny
for me. | have trodden out its paths by

Just at that moment, Ursula Gotta, a
Lurgher's wife, who had heard his songs
and seen him driven from neighbor's door,
felt her heart yearn with pity towards the
helpless boy. She opened her door, beck
onch 10 the young singer, sniIcl swceiy
upon him, and in tones that sounded like
heavenly melodies to his ears said:
Come in, poor boy, and refresh thyself
at my table!
Happy little singer! How lie enjoyed
that delicious meal. Aud when the good
dame and her husband told him to make
their house his home. his heart melted.
With eyes half blinded with tears, he look
ed in the face of bis friends and said
4 shall now pursue my s,udies without
being obliged to beg my bread from grudg-
ing hands. / shall have you sir for faith.
err and you sweet Ursula for mother. Ny
heart will once more learn to love. shall

After that day the singing boy studied
bard and well. Years afterwards the world
heard Of him, for it WAS he who uttered his
voice against popery and berame the chie'
Of that Reformation which gave an open Bi.
bic to the world. His name was Martin
Luther.

OUR VILLAGE BELLE.
BY z. PHELPS

=
Lillien is our village belle,
Merry as the fountains.
In the valley where she dwells,
Crudlrd iu the mountains.
Lillien's brcnst is free from guile:
Parents kind have taught her
What she owes t. God and them
She. their only daughter.
Lillien looks the lady born.
In her rustic beauty,
Tripping DER the dewy lawn.
Smiling in her duty.
Lillien has happy henrt
Full of joy and gladnes';
And her sunny face impar,s
Light to those in sadness.
With some sweet remembered lay,
Taught her in her childhood,
Liliien carols time away.
Joyous as the wild bird
Gold and power attract in vain;
Feelings pure aud holy
Bind her with mystic chain,
To the poor and lowly.
Lillien loves her humble lot,
Where Aurora's bushes
Kiss at first the mountains top,
Where the cascade rushes-
Where the deer is roaming free,
Through his lenfy dwelling
Where the wild birds ninstrelsy
On the breeze ia awrlliup.

MOUNTAIN HoMEs.-A recent number OF

sensible article, entitled '' The Rancbing In

the following extract
We may safely assert that nothing has
contributed so much towards humanizIng
soeelty throughout the mines as the ranch
ing interest. In every mining precint We
now see from one to half dozen beautiful
little spots nicely enclosed. planted in vines.

Tor the most part, the earliest pioneers OF the
mountains, surrounded by their families.
They are renowned for their hospitality, al
most without exception their houses are
the resort Of the wayfarer and the miner,
who never has cause 10 90 away dissatisfied
with the treatment Of the host. They are a
class who do not rapidly grow rich nor in
deed, do We think, that, as a class. they are
very much troubled by the pangs OF avarice.
They are content TO live in humble Indepen-
dence, and wait with fortitude, the dawn of

specimens OF hsr meteorological, agricultural
and genealogical products. As the Bee says
Ito tell of California as she is. and have the
Atlantic public believe it, is all that is neces-

Why SALT LAKE Is so SALr.-Mr. Greeley
writes from the center of Mormondom, as to
the cause of the saltness of Salt Lake, thus :.
That this lake should be salt is no anomaly.
All large bodies of water into which
streams discharge themselves, while they
have severally no outlet, are or should be
salt. If one such is fresh that is an anomaly
indeed. Lake Utah probably receives as
much saline matter as Salt Lake, but she
discharges it through the Jordon and re-
mains herself fresh while Salt Lake, hav-
ing noissue, save by evaporation, isprobably
the safest body Of water on earth. The
ocean is comparatively fresh; even the Med
iterranean at Leghorn is not half so salt. l
am told that three barrels of this water yield
a barrel of salt /; that seems rather strong,
yet its intense saltness, no one who has not
had it in his eyes, his mouth, his nosirils,
can realize You can no more sink in it
then in q clay bank but very little Oft
in your lungs would suffice to strangle you.
You make your way in from hot, rocky
beach over chaos OF volcanic basal that is
trying to the feet, but at depth of yard
or more you have fine sand bottom, and
here the bathing is delightful.
The water is ofa light green color for ten
or twenty rods, then " deeply, dark ], eau
tifully blue" No fish can live in it, no frog
abides in it few birds are ever seen dip
ping in it.
