SIERRAS.

Like fragments of an uncompleted world
From icy bleak Alaska white with spray,
To where the peaks of Daren lie curled
In clouds, the broken lands loom bold and gray
The seamen nearing Sanfrancisco bay,
Forget the compass here; with sturdy hand
They seize the wheel, look up, then bravely lay
The ship to shore by snowy peaks that stand
The stern and proud patrician fathers of the land
They stand white stars of heaven-stand a line
Of climbing endless and eternal white
They look upon the far and flashing brine,
Upon the boundless plains, the broken hight
OF kamiakin's battlements. The flight
OF time Is underneath their untopped towers
They seem to push aside the moon at night
To jostle and unloose the stars. The flowers
OF heaven fall about theil brows in shining showers
They stand, line of lifted snowy isles,
High held above tossed and tumbed sea-
sea of wood in wild unmeasured miles;
White pyramids of Faith, where man is free;
White monuments of Hope that yet shall be
The mounts of matchless and immortal song
I look far down the hollow days; see
The bearded prophets, simpled-souled and strong,
That fill the hills and thrill with song the needing
throng
Serene and satisfied supreme! white lone
As God, they loom above cloud banners furled
They look as cold as Kings upon throne;
The mantling wings of night are crushed and
curled
As feathers curl. The elements are hurled
From off their bosom, and are hidden go,
Like evil spirits, to under world
They stretch from Cariboo to Mexico
line of battlements in everlasting snow.

THE FROZEN SHIP.

In the year 1775, the captain of a
Greenland whaling-vessel found himself
at night surrounded by icebergs, and
"lay to" until morning, expecting every
moment to be ground to pieces. In the
morning he looked about. and saw
ship near by. He hailed it, but receiv-
ed no answer. Getting into boat with
some of his crew, he pushed out for the
mysterious craft. Coming alongside the
vessel. he saw through the port-hole
man at table, as though keeping log
book. He hailed him, but got no an
swer He went on board the vessel, and
found the man sitting at the log-book
frozen to death. The last date in the
log-book was 1862, showing that the ves-
sci had been drifting for thirteen years
among the ice. The sailors were found,
some frozen among the hammocks, and
others in the cabin. For thirteen years
this ship had been carrying its burden
of corpses,-a drifting sepulchre, man.
ned by frozen crew. There had been
life in that ship once; and courage and
activity and zeal and promptness, and
ready obedience to the word of command;
but all this was past. The Arctic chill
had come upon them, the stupor of death
had touched them one by one, until the
last solitary watcher yielded to his fate
and all were dead.
Are there not churches that are in
somewhat similar plight? They have
sailed away from the open sea of bless
ing and prosperity, and the sunny lati-
tudes of faith and humility they have
drifted into the frozen regions of pride
and worldliness, and sin, lmpelled by
love of gain, or by a vain curiosity to
explore the secrets of Divine wisdom !;
they have passed the realms of warmth
and life, and foated into the icy wastes
of death and desolation.
Christian voyager, beware of the Arc
tic regions of pride and worldliness and
dead formality beware of the deadly
slumbers of the frigid zone. Speed
away to summer climes live near the
Lord, who is the sun and shield, and
whose favor is life, and whose loving
kindness is better than life.-Tn Chris

CROCODILE TEARS.

The English journals are in a state of
grief over the just retaliation which it is
demanded should be inflicted upon Cap
tain Jack and his sanguinary horde for
their treachery and cold-blooded MUIR
ders. Captain Thomas and his COM
mand fell into a snare they succumbed
with arms in their hands; but the la
mented General Candy, Dr. Thomas and
MIR. Meacham were the apostles of peace
and good will, and they were basely.
cruelty butchered Under such exas.
peratlng circumstances, do the philan-
thropic tears of the English press fall in
righteous cause? Is it the custom of
our cousins across the water to look cold
ly on the slaughter Of their countrymen
Do they turn their other cheek to the
smiter, fold their hands, and bury the
war hatchet /? No; far from it. They
are prompt and swift to revenge, and the
pages of their history are red with the
blood of determination for evils such as
the Modocs have committed. The out
pourings of benevolent commiseration for
the poor Indian, if flowing from perfect
innocence, might be pardoned by us !;
but, emanating from whence they have.
we receive them qatantatns valeat. Have
the events of the war in New Zealand
and of the late Indian mutiny been blot
ted from the minds of these writers
Have they forgot the terrible list of ex-
ecutions at the cannon's mouth, inflicted
upon the captured mutineers. which ex-
cited so much passionate debate in the
Imperial Parliament, but which the press
upheld and applauded as necessary ex.
ample to uphold the prestige of British
rule, and keep the distant millions o.
India in awed subsection for the time tt
come. If English journalists are so ret
icent. be it our duty to jog their slug
ish memories. Let us recommend then
to dry their tears, look at home, aut
learn to practice what they preach. T,
the pure all things are pure, but will

their exceeding innocence and overflow

CHAppED HANDs-In a healthy con-
dition the skin is kept supple by an oily
secretion, which answers the same pur-
pose as oiling leather. During warm
weather this secretion, in common with
all the other secretions of the skin, is
more abundant than in cold. When it
is insufficient the skin becomes dry and
harsh and in those parts of the body
where skin is thick and subject to much
motion, as on the hands, it readily
cracks or assures. The amount of this
secretion is so much reduced in cold
weather that the frequent washing of the
hands with soap causes them to chap
readily, and this the more certainly if
the soap is not thoroughly washed off.
The alkali in soap is usually in excess,
and this combines with the oily secre-
tion, and so deprives the skin of its nat
ural lubricator. To prevent the hands
from chapping, then, be careful to wash
all soap from them thoroughly in clean
water. This will ordinarily suffice !,
but if not, it will be necessary to make
good the removed oil by the use of glyc-
crime, honey, mutton tallow, &c.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

O could there in this world be found
Some little spot of happy ground
Where village pleasures might go round
without the village tattling!
How doubly blessed that place would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty
Free from the bitter misery
OF gossips endless prattling!
If such a spot were really known,
Dame Peace might claim it as her own,
And in it she might fix her throne
Forever and forever;
There, like queen might reign and live
Where every one would soon forgive,
The little Sights they might receive,
And be offended never.
The mischief.mallers that remove
Far from our hearts the warmth of love,
And lead us all to disapprove
What gives another pleasure;
They seem to take ones part, but when
They've heard our case, unkindly then
They soon retail them all again
Mixed with poisonous measure.
And then they have such cunning way
VI telllng tales. Ihey say,
Don't mention what say, l pray;
l would not tell another"
Straight to your neighbours house they go,
Narrating everything they know,
And break the peace of high and low
Wife, husband, friend and brother.
O! that the misunderstanding crew
We're all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red or blue =
That every one might know them;
Then would the village soon forget
The rage and quarrel, fume and fret,
And fall into an angry pet,
With things too much below them.
For it's sad, degrading part
To make another's bosom smart,
And plant dagger in the heart,
We ought to love and cherish;
Then let us evermore be found
In quietness with all around,
While friendship, peace, and joy abound,
And angry feelings perish.

CHIcAGo.-When Chicago was burn
ed great deal of money was subscribed
in England for the relief of the city,
but before the London Graphic could
forward the large amount it had raised.
word came that all the wants of Chicago
had been supplied. The Graphic then
determined to expend its money in pur-
chasing and presenting to the city an
allegorical painting illustrative of Amer
ican misfortune and British sympathy.
The painting has been finished by Mr..
Armitage, of the Royal Academy, and
will soon be sent to its final destination.
It is fifteen feet long by nine wide, and
said to be work of eminent merit,
graceful, original, truthful and brilliant.
At the right is Chicago canopied in fame
and smoke at the left is pine forest
backed by rugged and massive noun
tains and in the foreground, fanked on
one side by the British lion and on the
other by the American eagle, is the
stricken city symbolized by a beautiful
and partially nude girl, who. sorely
wounded lies on the ground. Above her
bends Britannia, beautiful and benign,
in robes of crimson and gold, stanching
the girls wounds. Columbia leans upon
Britannia, whom she embraces with one
arm, as with gentle sympathy she watch
es the blood of poor Chicago flow. The
London PosT says that Columbia looks
like a strong minded woman who means
to have every cent Of the Alabama claims,
and that Britannia is far gentler and
more womanly in character, but the shad-
ow on the upper part of her face lacks
delicaey. Of what is that symbolical? ?

JOSH BILLINGS ON THE PoRCUpINE.

JOSH BILLINGS ON THE PORCUPINE.
The porcupine IL a kind of thorny
woodchuck
They are bigger than rat, and small
er than calf
They live in the ground and are as
prickly all over as chestnut burr.
1t is said that they have the power of
throwing their prickers like a javelin,
but this is smart falsehood.
An old dog won't touch a porcupine
emmy quicker than he will frebrand,
but young dogs pitch into them like ur-
chins into sugar hogshead.
The consequence of this is that they
git their mouths filed with, prickers,
which are bearded and can't back out.
A porcupine's quill. when it enters,
goes klean thru and comes out on the
other side of things.
The porcupine is not bad vittles, their
meat tastes like pork and beans, with
the beans left out.
They have cute way of stealing ap-
pies known only to few.
| have seen them run under an apple,
tree, and rolling over on the fruit which
had fallen from the tree, carry off on
their prickers a dozen of them.
| have often told this story to people
but never got any to believe it yet.
Porcupines have got destiny to fill
it may be only hole in the ground, but
they can fill that as full as it will hold.
How Doc WAS SODA family in
Troy, having false CRATE in one of the
rooms of the house, placed some red
paper behind it to give the effect of
lire. One of the coldest days last win
ter, the dog belonging to the household
came in from out of doors, and seeing
the paper in the CRATE, deliberately
walked up to it, and laid down before
it, curled up in the best way to receive
the glowing heat as it came from the
fire. He remained motionless for few
minutes; feeling no warmth he raised
his head and looked over his shoulder at
the CRATE; still feeling no heat, he arose
and carefully applied his nose to the
CRATE and smelt of it. 1t was as cold as
ice. With a look of the most supreme
disgust, his tail curled down between his
legs, every hair on his body saving
"Pm sold," the dog trotted out of the
room, not even deigning to cast look al

his movements.

JOINED TwINs.--Persons who have
seen from time to time the we'll known
Siamese twins, or the two young colored
girls joined from the shoulders to the
hip, that have been exhibited in this
country and in Europe since our late
civil war, have found it difficult to re-
frain from disagreeable speculations as
to what may be the circumstances of the
one or the other of the pairs when the
final dissolution of death of either shall
come. There is an instance on record
in the "Every Day Book of Home,
which shows the fate of what were
known as the Biddenden maids, born at
Biddenden, England, in the year 100
and who were joined at the hips and
shoulders They TINS lived 81 years
when one of them died. The other was
advised to be separated from her at
once, but answered, "As we came to-
gether, we will also 60 together" and
was taken i'll and died six hours after.
Their names were Elizabeth and Mary

MEASURING THE BABY.
We measured riotous baby

We measured riotous baby
Against the cottage wall
A lily grew at the threshold,
And the boy was just as tall.
A royal tiger lily,
With spots of purple and gold,
And a heart like jewelled chalice,
The fragrant dew to hold.
Without the blackbird whistled.
High up in the old roof trees;
And to and fro at the window
The red rose robed her bees:
And the wee pink fists of the baby
We're nerer a moment still,
Snatching at the shine and shadow
That danced at the lattice sill.
