A DIscovERy.-We understand that q
company Of mountaineers have at length
been able to penetrate to the great basin Of
the middle fork of the great Kaweah river
This region has, heretofore, only bee viewed
from the summit of the Sieras. The party
referred to procured the services of an old
Indian; he led the party short distance up
the second north fork, and then, instead Of
pursuing the course generally followed by
parties making an effort in this direction, he
turned back around the edge of certain big
bluff rock, and ascending behind it soon led
the party into rolling country covered by
the most magnificent pneyy in this portion
Of the State. 1t is said that there is the
evidence of an old Spanish trail having run
into this region, but that no one has been
able to follow it beyond certain point,
where large slide has taken place in the
bluff. There is legend that mine of the
precious metals was once worked by the
Spanish in the region referred to, that the
miners were murdered by the Indians, and
that all English company were left in posses
sion Of a chart containing diagram Of this
mine. 1t will be but short time before
the truth of this legend is tested. The
pinery referred to is nearer to Visalia than
any of the present lumber mills. Visalia

A MoTuEn's K1ss.-A day or two since a
ragged and dirty-looking boy, fourteen years
of age, pleaded guilty in the Superior Grim
inal Court to having fired building. Foi
two years past, since the death of his mother,
he had wandered around the streets va
grant, without home or human being to
care for him, and he had become in every
respect bad boy" A gentleman and q
lady interested themselves in bis behalf, and
the latter took him one side to question him
She talked to him kindly, but without max
ing the slightest impression upon his feelings
and to all she said he manifested the greatest
Indifference, until she asked him if no one
had ever kissed him. This simple inquiry
proved too much for him, and bursting into
tears he replied, No one since my mother
kissed me- . That one thought of his poor
dead mother--the only being who had eve,
spoken kindly to him before-touched hin
to his heart, hardened young crimna
though he was. The little incident caused
other tears to flow than hs.-Er.
The Placer herald., 1871-10-07

TIE DYING NEVER WEEp.-It is a strils-
ing fact that the dying never weep. The
sobbing, the heart rt-breaking agony of the
circle Of friends around the death-bed call
forth no responsive tears from the dying.
Is it because he is insensible and stiff in the
chill of dissolutionP That cannot be, for he
asks for his fathers hand, as ii to gain
strength i'll the mortal struggle, and leans on
the breast of his mother, sister or brother,
in still conscious affection. Just before ex-
piring, he calls the loved ones, and with
quivering lips says: " Kiss me! showing
that the love he has ever borne in his heart
is still fresh and warm. 1t must be because
the dying have reached too deep for earthly
sorrows, too transcendent for weeping. They
are face to face with higher and holiel
things, with the Father in Heaven and His
angels. There is no weeping in that blessed
abode to which he is Fastening.
