SCo. ‘They will keep a good sup-. that an artist, —_ j % Home Herore.—Judying by the prevalent choice of subject among our High Art painters, we shou!d inayine that the KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, That when John Bigler came into ofworth and dignity of humanity had per. fice, the civil debt of the State was $712,ished and that we must be forever raising monuments in commemoration of their former existence. Nota painter scarcel dyeams of finding a noble subject in bis own time. Men who aim at painting great pictures must turn their faces backwards, and jour. ney a century or two,at least, into the mists through which the past loom up greater than itseli—mighty. only because incomprehensible—mire diy nitied, because its faults have become obscured. It is a cure to us _perpetually— this disposition to look abroad and back fur things worthy of reverence and study. It may be hopelvss—we confess to something like despair thinking of it—to attempt to. induce our countrymen to look near home jor their ideas. Yet, hopeless as it is, on is depends the prospect of all future greatness for our Art. It is impossible that the race should have so changed, that the deeds of :o-day should be less noble than those of three hundred years ago. And yet to such a conclusion would the practice of Art at this day lead ; for true it is to enter what is generally known as the High Art field, rarely, if ever, takes for his subject a modern incident. If it be not true that the race has lost its former worth, there is no other alternative than that Art is a thing of the surface merely—dealing with religious garbs and historical costumes. To admit this, is to abandon all claim for it asa moral agent, and make the artist, after all, only a minister to the sensuous nature. We connot willingly take such a position, since it follows asa consequence, that Art is folly, and its worshippers, idlers. There sa vitality—au immortality—an immortality—in it, though ages may overlook its messages, and leave it in degradation ; and it isdue to the world that the philosoOpher—the moralist—the statesman do ihe r part in giving it its birthright. We acknowledge all the objections that can be urged against a modern standard of hervism on the seore of costume—we are willing to admit that it would be difficult to Couceive a beautitul or dignified figure in our nineteenth ceutury costume, but it is notin the power of such tiifles to de stroy a noble conception—true genius will ride over them, and even accomplish its But, if our mere externals so limit the range of Art, then Art must mould these externals to suit it—-it must change the costume, the habits, and the surronndings of men. And ii this, which we believe to be easy, Were Impossible, still it must be felt {that the tiue end of Art is the expression ee setae eee A of the inner nature-—the characteristics of the soul. It must be filt that there is a . beauty which will shine through all exterCLOKS—New astyiesivchi ling Bisht dav Cit, and Porce . nals, and will iusist on being seen through rags even, and the representation of this will make Art noble snd worthy, without regard to forms or materia! wppearances. The true Artistic Beauty will redeem even an ugly garb in which it may chance to be dressed, and to those who are capable of seeing through its disguises, will sanctify the housli st guise. The true seeret of the attainment of High Art, then, is not in the deaping of models, but in the education of our inner selves to the pereeption of that which is noblest and inost beaatiful in the soul of man—the god jike and heavenly. The artist has learned the secret of that attainment when he has made his own soul noble and beautiful, for only then ean he see the nobility and beauty in others. We shall never make a grand school of Art, by sending artists where they have facilities for studying middle age costumes, or the habits of the so ealled heroic ages, but by ourartists becoming lofty in their natures, and conscientious in their Iabors and regards both of Nature and Art. That is the highest Art which tells the grand est truths, and the grandest truths will be told by the grandest souls, without regard to age or locality. There is a heroism in the commanest . 009, and it is now $3U0,000, Keep it before the people, that when ohn Bigler came into office, the annual expenses of the State government were $585,702 53 ; that they are now $1,310,v00 00. Keep it before the people, that John igler cannot point out one solitary measure of his administration which has tended . to the good of the State. Keep it before the people, that they have already tried Bigler for four years and Gnd themselves in a worse condition than when he came in, and that wisdom now dictates that they should try some body else. Keep it before the people, that John Bigler attempted to have the Sehool Land law of 1452, passed without the promise which secures to the Settler, the pre-emption of lands which he has improved. Keep it befure the people, that they cannot expect to have any improvement in the finances or legislation of the State, so long as tucy keep at the head of the government, an incorrigible office seckers. Keep it before the people, that John Bigler bas not carried out one single pledge vn which he came into office. Keep it before the people—what do you . expect to gain hy the re-election of John Biglor? Has he not been in long enough to have done for you whatever he could ‘or would ? Why lengthen the existence of'a political life, which is nought but a bloodsucker upon the State? Can you be worsted ? Can you havea Governor who. is less potent fur good, and more omnipo-. tent for evil, than he? Every year and) day of his administration you go deep and deeper in the mire. What then, can you expect from his re-cleetion ? Keep it before the people, that John Bigler used every exertion in 1853, to . get the Regi-ter of the United States Land . . office, at Benicia, to vive priority to the. ; monopolisers of the School lands over the }actual settlers — 7ribune. Keep it befere the people, that John Bigler signed a bill giving to Redding & & Co. his friends $17,800. . Keep it before the people, that John} 1 Bigler, refused to appoint a Judge of the} 14th Judicial District, contrary to a prej;ecdent established by hirself, and thus . depriving Nevada and Sierra Counties of'.

ED Se we Thought is the noblest attribute of the soul; the chief quality which raiseth man above the brute—a source of unceasing enjoyment, and the fountain from whence comes the incentive to every noble action. It isa faculty which is strengthened by use, and made healthful and vigorous by age. The mortal frame may be . bowed low beneath the ponderous weight of rolling years—it may stand leaning over the opening grave, still, thought is unshaken. It can wander back, with elee-. tric speed, through the dim vista of the past, and ponder over by gone deeds. It} can glide along on fancy’s buoyant pinions into visionary worlds, and hold converse with coherts of airy spirits. It can penetrate he dark clouds, and ramble over the trackless plains of immensity among the unnumbered bodies that move on in silent majesty through the deep blue concave of the skies. It can scale the sacred battlements of high heaven, and be among the sweet music of the airy choir that sur‘rounds the crystal throne of the great Jehovah. Tt can sink down in gloomy Tarare compelled to drink the deadly waters of the Stygeau river. It kuows no elevation too steep to climb, no distance too far too travel, and depth too deep to fathom. Thought never dies. It will live after true life worthy an art mightier than that . the mortal part shall have mouldered into of Phidias—subjects more fraught with . dust ; and the marble slab erected in honbigh and holy meaning than any the Mid-. or of its remembranee, shall have crumdie Age has given us, in the history of ev-. bled to atoms beneath the destroying touch ery suffering, aspiring heart.

Sr. Rose or Lrra.—St. Rose of Lima, canonized by Clement X. A. D., 1673, was the most precocious of saints. Born of Christian parents in South America, she, from the period of her birth, shone with the presages of future holiness. It is said that the face of the infant being miraculously transfigured into the image of a rose, occasioned her being called by this name, to which the Virgin Mary added the surname—commanding her thencefurth to be designated the rose of St. Mary. She vowed perpetual virginity at the early age of five years! The fullowing affecting account of the austerities she practiced is extracted from her canonization, and affords a pitiable specimen of religious fanaticism : “She changed the stones and crosses with which, when going to prayer in her childhood, and as yet ignorant of the use of whips. she was loaded by her maid Marianne, who was almost the only person conscious of her mortifications, into iron chains, which she prepared as scourges, and, after the example of St. Dominic, every night she offered herself'a bloody victim to God to avert his just anger, even to the copious effusion of streams of blood either for the sorrows of the holy church, or for the necessities of the endangered . kingdom of the city of Lima, or for compensating the wrongs of sinners, or for making an expiation for the souls of the dead, or for obtaining divine aid for those who were in their last agonies—the servant being sometimes horror-struck at the defraud blows of the chairs. And when the use of these were forbidden her, she privately encircled her waist with one of them, bound thrice around her, so that it oever was apparent that she wore it, exeept when she was under the tortures of the aciatica, which chain was afterward loosened only bya miracle. Its links after the virgin’s death were found to emit . a wondrous and indiscribably sweet odor. Lest any part of her innocent body should be free from suffering, she tortured her arms and limbs with penal chains, and stuffed her breasts and sides and with handfuls of nettles and small briars. She afterward incrersed the sharpness of the hair-cloth that reached from her neck beneath her knees, by necdles mixed up with it, which she used for many years, until she was ordered to put it off on account of the frequent vomiting of. Llood. When she laid aside this punishment she substituted another garment less injurious to her health but not less troublesome; for beneath it every movement was painful to her. Her feet only were free from these sufferings, which, either by hitting them with stones, or by the burning of an oven, she did not suffer to be free from torture. * * * * * ad “She fixed upon her head a tin crown with sharp, little nails in it, and for some years never put it on without receiving wounds. When she grew older, this was replaced by one which was armed by ninety-nine points. _ x4 . “She desired the hardness of her bed to be such that it should rather drive away than invite sleep; so that when about to sleep the same should be both a bed to her and an instrument of torture. Her pillow was either an unpolished trunk, or stones concealed for this purpose, which bed she afterward so filled with sharp picces of tiles and triangular pieces of broken jugs that the sharp points of cach should be turned to her body; nor did she try to sleep until she had embittered her body; nor did she try to sleep until she had embittered her mouth with a draught of gall. “Near the time of her death Rose, throughout Lent, alternately sang the canticles and praises of God every day for a whole hour. ee Joun Ranpoien “IWeapepv.”—Of the many amusing anecdotes of this eccentric man of Roanoke, «: d» not believe the following was ever in print. He was travelling through a part of Virginia in which he was unacquainted; meantime he stopped during the night at an inn near the forks of the road. er was a fine gentleman and no doubt of The innkeep} the world tor ever if once well told ; and. no man can be a true artist without finding in his own history that which better saiisties the definition of heroism than the action of Greek or Crusader. They are Home Heroics that touch and better the beart--that Art which most humbly goes down into the depths of our poor human heart is the highest, best. a oor A Goop CHaracter.—A good character is to a young man what a firm foundation is to the artist who proposes to erect « building upon it; he ean build with safety, and all who behold it will have confidence in its solidity—a helping band will never be wanted; but let a single part of this be defective, and you go at hazard, amidst doubting and distrust, and, ten to one, it will tumble down at last, and mingle all that was built upon it in ruin. Vithoat a character, poverty is a curse; with it, it is searcely an evil. Happiness cannot exist where a good character is not. All that is bright in the hope of youth,— all that is calm and, blisstul in the sober scenes of life,—all that is soothing in the vale of tears, centres in, and is derived trom, a good moral character. Therefore, acquire this as the first and most valuable a ar ne ee eee us vestigation. oo Wiritiee.—In a lone hut, on the banks of Kennebec, an [ndian girl was dying. Her father stood by her side. His agony was great. to think that his daughter, his only earthly stay. was dying, and that he should be leit alone.—They were the last of a powerful nation, and it was more than even that brave and stern man could endure. But the angel of death whispered in the ear of Willilee, the beautiful Indian irl, that she would die, for the Great Spirit would call her to the mansions of the blest. She was sad, for she knew that her father would then be left alone; yet, the hope of meeting dear frieuds who had gone long before, cheered her, and imploring the blessof the Great Spirit upon her father, she badc him a last, tearful farewell, and her spirit took its flight to him who gave it. And now Willilee has gone to her long home. Her wild songs will no more be heard, nor her joyous laugh ring through the depths of the forest. She will no more paddle her light canoe oyerthe dark waters nor will she ever retrace those paths, far into the wilderness, with every one of which she was familiar. She was buried "neath syeamore tree. tarus, amid Pluto’s miserable subjects who one of the first families in the Old Dominton. Knowing who his distinguished guest was, he endeavored during the evening to raw him into conversation, but failed in all bis efforts. But in the morning, when Mr. Randolph was ready to start, he called for his bill, which, on being presented, was paid. The landlord still anxious to have some conversation with him, began as follows : ‘Which way are you traveling, Mr. Randolph ?? ‘Sir 7? said Mr. Randolph, with a look of displeasure. ‘Have I paid my bill ?? ‘Yes.’ ‘Do I owe youanything more ?? ‘No.’ WHOLE NO. 976. A Vistr to tne Rustan Imperta Treasury. A correspondent of the Boston Zranscript, writing from Moscow, gives the following interesting account of a visit to the Russian Imperial Treasury in that city: “I cannot forbear mentioning the attention which we, as Americans, received, not only here, but throughout all Russia, from these in official capacity, and the bare mention of ‘Americaine’ proved an open sesameeverywhere. In the imperial treasury are carefuily preserved the platters and salt-cellars, upon and in which dread and salt are given to the Emperor on his arrival at Moscow; also a glass blown by Peter himself, with a ducat blown into the bottom of it. Inone room are fifteen crowns, including those of the captured countries, Poland, Siberia, Astrachan, Georgia, andthe Crimea. Peter the Great }and his half brother, the foolish Ivan, who were crowned together, have each a crown of wonderful magnificence. They contain respectively 887 and 841 fine diamonds, besides some of the largest rubies and emeralds known. The imperial crown contains more than 2600 fine diamonds, and the ruby under the cross, the largest one known in the world, alone costs 120,000 jsilver rubles. Peter II. was the first {monarch crowned with this, and Anne add. ed the ruby, bought by her ambassador at Pekin. The crown of Poland (so called is here, but itis merely a crown, made at Warsaw, to be used in the funeral ceremonies at the burial of Alexander in 1825 . The sceptre of Poland is a single piece of aqua marine, two feet long, and by some strange fatality it is brokenin the middle There is also a throne here, which is studdjed with more than 2000 turquoises, and is covered with pure gold. The double throne of Peter the Great and his brother Ivan . is of solid silver. A curtain hangs behind }it, under the concealment of which their ambitious sister Sophia dictated their ananswers. Here are also two saddles of the Empress Catherine, given her by the Sultan at the peace of 1735 and 1775 The first of all diamonds, the horse-shoes silver and the stirrups gold, (for she sat . astride.) One topaz, in the martingale, alone cost 10,000 rubles. The two are a . perfect mass of diamonds, and altogether my eyes ached with magnificence. —[—o oe “ How beautiful” said a lady “‘ the face of nature looks after a shower.” “Yex madam, and so would yours aftr undergoing a Similar process.’ —————[>=> = “A Bit or Apvice —Have you enemies? Go straight on, and don’t mind them. If they get in your way, walk around them, regardless of their spite. A man who has no enemies-is seldom good for anything — he is made of that kind of material which is so easily worked that every one has a handinit. A sterling character—one who thinks for himself, and speaks what he thinks, is always sure to have enemies. They are as necessary to him as fresh air; they keep him alive and active. A celebrated character who was surrounded by enemies, used to remark “They are sparks which, if you do not blow will go out of themselves.” Let this be your feeling, while endeavoring to live down the scandal of those who are bitter against you. Ifyou stop to dispnte, you do but as they desire, and open the way for more abuse.

j % Home Herore.—Judying by the prevalent choice of subject among our High Art painters, we shou!d inayine that the KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, That when John Bigler came into ofworth and dignity of humanity had per. fice, the civil debt of the State was $712,ished and that we must be forever raising monuments in commemoration of their former existence. Nota painter scarcel dyeams of finding a noble subject in bis own time. Men who aim at painting great pictures must turn their faces backwards, and jour. ney a century or two,at least, into the mists through which the past loom up greater than itseli—mighty. only because incomprehensible—mire diy nitied, because its faults have become obscured. It is a cure to us _perpetually— this disposition to look abroad and back fur things worthy of reverence and study. It may be hopelvss—we confess to something like despair thinking of it—to attempt to. induce our countrymen to look near home jor their ideas. Yet, hopeless as it is, on is depends the prospect of all future greatness for our Art. It is impossible that the race should have so changed, that the deeds of :o-day should be less noble than those of three hundred years ago. And yet to such a conclusion would the practice of Art at this day lead ; for true it is to enter what is generally known as the High Art field, rarely, if ever, takes for his subject a modern incident. If it be not true that the race has lost its former worth, there is no other alternative than that Art is a thing of the surface merely—dealing with religious garbs and historical costumes. To admit this, is to abandon all claim for it asa moral agent, and make the artist, after all, only a minister to the sensuous nature. We connot willingly take such a position, since it follows asa consequence, that Art is folly, and its worshippers, idlers. There sa vitality—au immortality—an immortality—in it, though ages may overlook its messages, and leave it in degradation ; and it isdue to the world that the philosoOpher—the moralist—the statesman do ihe r part in giving it its birthright. We acknowledge all the objections that can be urged against a modern standard of hervism on the seore of costume—we are willing to admit that it would be difficult to Couceive a beautitul or dignified figure in our nineteenth ceutury costume, but it is notin the power of such tiifles to de stroy a noble conception—true genius will ride over them, and even accomplish its But, if our mere externals so limit the range of Art, then Art must mould these externals to suit it—-it must change the costume, the habits, and the surronndings of men. And ii this, which we believe to be easy, Were Impossible, still it must be felt {that the tiue end of Art is the expression ee setae eee A of the inner nature-—the characteristics of the soul. It must be filt that there is a . beauty which will shine through all exterCLOKS—New astyiesivchi ling Bisht dav Cit, and Porce . nals, and will iusist on being seen through rags even, and the representation of this will make Art noble snd worthy, without regard to forms or materia! wppearances. The true Artistic Beauty will redeem even an ugly garb in which it may chance to be dressed, and to those who are capable of seeing through its disguises, will sanctify the housli st guise. The true seeret of the attainment of High Art, then, is not in the deaping of models, but in the education of our inner selves to the pereeption of that which is noblest and inost beaatiful in the soul of man—the god jike and heavenly. The artist has learned the secret of that attainment when he has made his own soul noble and beautiful, for only then ean he see the nobility and beauty in others. We shall never make a grand school of Art, by sending artists where they have facilities for studying middle age costumes, or the habits of the so ealled heroic ages, but by ourartists becoming lofty in their natures, and conscientious in their Iabors and regards both of Nature and Art. That is the highest Art which tells the grand est truths, and the grandest truths will be told by the grandest souls, without regard to age or locality. There is a heroism in the commanest . 009, and it is now $3U0,000, Keep it before the people, that when ohn Bigler came into office, the annual expenses of the State government were $585,702 53 ; that they are now $1,310,v00 00. Keep it before the people, that John igler cannot point out one solitary measure of his administration which has tended . to the good of the State. Keep it before the people, that they have already tried Bigler for four years and Gnd themselves in a worse condition than when he came in, and that wisdom now dictates that they should try some body else. Keep it before the people, that John Bigler attempted to have the Sehool Land law of 1452, passed without the promise which secures to the Settler, the pre-emption of lands which he has improved.

Sr. Rose or Lrra.—St. Rose of Lima, canonized by Clement X. A. D., 1673, was the most precocious of saints. Born of Christian parents in South America, she, from the period of her birth, shone with the presages of future holiness. It is said that the face of the infant being miraculously transfigured into the image of a rose, occasioned her being called by this name, to which the Virgin Mary added the surname—commanding her thencefurth to be designated the rose of St. Mary. She vowed perpetual virginity at the early age of five years! The fullowing affecting account of the austerities she practiced is extracted from her canonization, and affords a pitiable specimen of religious fanaticism : “She changed the stones and crosses with which, when going to prayer in her childhood, and as yet ignorant of the use of whips. she was loaded by her maid Marianne, who was almost the only person conscious of her mortifications, into iron chains, which she prepared as scourges, and, after the example of St. Dominic, every night she offered herself'a bloody victim to God to avert his just anger, even to the copious effusion of streams of blood either for the sorrows of the holy church, or for the necessities of the endangered . kingdom of the city of Lima, or for compensating the wrongs of sinners, or for making an expiation for the souls of the dead, or for obtaining divine aid for those who were in their last agonies—the servant being sometimes horror-struck at the defraud blows of the chairs. And when the use of these were forbidden her, she privately encircled her waist with one of them, bound thrice around her, so that it oever was apparent that she wore it, exeept when she was under the tortures of the aciatica, which chain was afterward loosened only bya miracle. Its links after the virgin’s death were found to emit . a wondrous and indiscribably sweet odor. Lest any part of her innocent body should be free from suffering, she tortured her arms and limbs with penal chains, and stuffed her breasts and sides and with handfuls of nettles and small briars. She afterward incrersed the sharpness of the hair-cloth that reached from her neck beneath her knees, by necdles mixed up with it, which she used for many years, until she was ordered to put it off on account of the frequent vomiting of. Llood. When she laid aside this punishment she substituted another garment less injurious to her health but not less troublesome; for beneath it every movement was painful to her. Her feet only were free from these sufferings, which, either by hitting them with stones, or by the burning of an oven, she did not suffer to be free from torture. * * * * * ad “She fixed upon her head a tin crown with sharp, little nails in it, and for some years never put it on without receiving wounds. When she grew older, this was replaced by one which was armed by ninety-nine points. _ x4 . “She desired the hardness of her bed to be such that it should rather drive away than invite sleep; so that when about to sleep the same should be both a bed to her and an instrument of torture. Her pillow was either an unpolished trunk, or stones concealed for this purpose, which bed she afterward so filled with sharp picces of tiles and triangular pieces of broken jugs that the sharp points of cach should be turned to her body; nor did she try to sleep until she had embittered her body; nor did she try to sleep until she had embittered her mouth with a draught of gall. “Near the time of her death Rose, throughout Lent, alternately sang the canticles and praises of God every day for a whole hour. ee Joun Ranpoien “IWeapepv.”—Of the many amusing anecdotes of this eccentric man of Roanoke, «: d» not believe the following was ever in print.

His agony was great. to think that his daughter, his only earthly stay. was dying, and that he should be leit alone.—They were the last of a powerful nation, and it was more than even that brave and stern man could endure. But the angel of death whispered in the ear of Willilee, the beautiful Indian irl, that she would die, for the Great Spirit would call her to the mansions of the blest. She was sad, for she knew that her father would then be left alone; yet, the hope of meeting dear frieuds who had gone long before, cheered her, and imploring the blessof the Great Spirit upon her father, she badc him a last, tearful farewell, and her spirit took its flight to him who gave it. And now Willilee has gone to her long home. Her wild songs will no more be heard, nor her joyous laugh ring through the depths of the forest. She will no more paddle her light canoe oyerthe dark waters nor will she ever retrace those paths, far into the wilderness, with every one of which she was familiar.

A Vistr to tne Rustan Imperta Treasury. A correspondent of the Boston Zranscript, writing from Moscow, gives the following interesting account of a visit to the Russian Imperial Treasury in that city: “I cannot forbear mentioning the attention which we, as Americans, received, not only here, but throughout all Russia, from these in official capacity, and the bare mention of ‘Americaine’ proved an open sesameeverywhere. In the imperial treasury are carefuily preserved the platters and salt-cellars, upon and in which dread and salt are given to the Emperor on his arrival at Moscow; also a glass blown by Peter himself, with a ducat blown into the bottom of it. Inone room are fifteen crowns, including those of the captured countries, Poland, Siberia, Astrachan, Georgia, andthe Crimea. Peter the Great }and his half brother, the foolish Ivan, who were crowned together, have each a crown of wonderful magnificence. They contain respectively 887 and 841 fine diamonds, besides some of the largest rubies and emeralds known. The imperial crown contains more than 2600 fine diamonds, and the ruby under the cross, the largest one known in the world, alone costs 120,000 jsilver rubles. Peter II. was the first {monarch crowned with this, and Anne add. ed the ruby, bought by her ambassador at Pekin. The crown of Poland (so called is here, but itis merely a crown, made at Warsaw, to be used in the funeral ceremonies at the burial of Alexander in 1825 . The sceptre of Poland is a single piece of aqua marine, two feet long, and by some strange fatality it is brokenin the middle There is also a throne here, which is studdjed with more than 2000 turquoises, and is covered with pure gold. The double throne of Peter the Great and his brother Ivan . is of solid silver. A curtain hangs behind }it, under the concealment of which their ambitious sister Sophia dictated their ananswers. Here are also two saddles of the Empress Catherine, given her by the Sultan at the peace of 1735 and 1775 The first of all diamonds, the horse-shoes silver and the stirrups gold, (for she sat . astride.)

Go straight on, and don’t mind them. If they get in your way, walk around them, regardless of their spite.

A sterling character—one who thinks for himself, and speaks what he thinks, is always sure to have enemies. They are as necessary to him as fresh air; they keep him alive and active.
