WAsHoE-The editor of the San Andreas

with A.. N. Taylor, direct from Washoe.
lie met some one hundred and fifteen men
on the road, all bound for the new silver
veins: ..a.let ...f ra. of.a....
"Of the whole number however, but few
had the appearance of laboring men; and
from the questions they propounded to him
he was convinced that they were generally
of such classes as do not court the agony of
hard work in the mines. A large number
of working men in the Washoe diggings
have been employed all winter (at drifting
and other kindred labor) at two dollars per
day! this does not present very good case
for miners in search Of sudden fortunes. He
fully confirms the most favorable accounts of
the richness Of the Cons.ock lead, nine feet
of which sold for $4,000; but is of opinion
the hopes now entertained Of the mines, gen
orally, will prove fallacious. The people of
Carson Valley, he says, are in no way ex-
cited about the silver mines. The excite
ment is all on this side of the mountains"

Passing Along the Tourney oil Death

If one only pauses, now and then, in life's
'forced march," to count the numbers who
have wearied by the way, of those who
brushed with him the morning dews, he
feels sort of terror lest he finish his jour-
ney a stranger and alone.
He calls the roll of comrades, and though
one answers here, another there, yet those
appalling silences between thames once
as familiar as household words, but now
without claimant. ~...
Those who knew him when the blessing
of early morning was resting on his brow,
have ceased to give in evidence that he was
once child. Those lips of loving prophecy
that proclaimed a coming man, grow silent
at the altar, and the glowing Goals thereon
have died. D.. o..
Rivals succeed to allies; strangers unto
both; and hope that listened and believed,
had ceased to play the syren TO the sailor on
life's sea, and so he bends him to the labor
ing oar, again.
It is as well that the friendly grasps that
hold us lovingly to life, are not unloosed at
once, else we were left disastered mid "the
revolving fields" of this worlds winter.
That, one by one, we feel the hands unclasp
that stay us, while we learn to live, as we
shall die untaught--dlone.

The Influence of n Keading on the Mind.


Benjamin Franklin tells us, in one of his
letters, that when he was boy, a little book
fell into his hands, entitled, Essays TO do
Good, by Cotton Mather. 1t was tattered and
torn, and several leaves were missing. But
the remainder" he says, "gaye me such a
turn of thinking as to have an influence on
my conduct through life; for l have always
set greater value on the character of q
doeI of good than any other kind of reputa-
tion and if have been a useful citizen, the
public owes all the advantages of it to the
little book"
Jeremy Bentham mentions that the cur
rent of his thoughts and studies was directed
for life by single phrase that caught his eye
at the end Of the pamphlet, "The greatest
good OF the greatest number"
There are single sentences in the New
1estdnent that have awakened 10 spiritual
life hundreds of millions of dormant souls.

Hospitality of the CelestiaIs.
A French gentleman, writing from the
city of Hong Kong, says in late letter:
On entering the town and passing along
the principal street, the visitor is astonished
at the beauty and richness of the Chinese
shops on either hand. They are filed with
the most curious articles of the East-China
grapes, porcelain vases of the most valuable
kind, camphor-wood boxes, lacqered fur
niture of all descriptions, &c. Every thing
is arranged in excellent order and in good
taste. The shopmen are well dressed and
extremely polite; one sits at a desk with a
camel-hair brush in hand, for they do not
use pens, and sets down in the Chinese
character every article sold others are en-
pfoyed in displaying the goods to the gaze of
The stranger, and this they do so cleverly as
often to decide the hesitating stranger. At
short intervals near the shop doors, may be
small counter covered with rolls of sapeqHeS,
the current coin of the country.
In our evening rambles through the town
we often heard the sound Of music and
female voices singing. One night we made
bold to enter house where we heard q
concert, at the risk of being thought in
truders. Our Intrusion, however, was not
resented, for the persons present immedi-
ately offered US seats and made sign for us to
floor, extremely clean and neat, well lighted,
by large windows, with blinds, which opened
on balcony toward the street. Four musi-
clans, with stringed instruments, castanets
and tamtam, accompanied young girl,
who sang and also played kind of guitar.
Near her stood several of her companions,
who were to sing in their turn.
They appeared not to be above twelve or
thirteen years of age, and were really
pretty for Chinese. These ladies INDUCED
in a cigarette from time to time, and handled
their palm-leaf fans very gracefully In the
middle of the. room stood small table
covered with sweet-meats and tea-things.
On one side sat three OF four merry looking
Cinnamon, who listened attentively to the
music, at intervals blowing clouds of tobacco
smoke from their mouths and nostrils. At
the top ofthe room, on a divan, reclined two
more men, who were smoking opium, and
seemed to enjoy it amazingly. When the
singers, whose voices were too shrill to be
melodious had all sung in turn, the persons
present drew round the table and prepared
to do honor to the supper. Nor were we
forgotten, for the gentlemen invited Us to
take cup of tea and some sweetmeats,
which we found not all bad.
