Tux CoLorapo Desert.—Prof. Blake, jo
a recent lecture in San Francisco, speaking
of the Colorado Desert, pronounced it as
fine a specimen of the desert as that of Lybia or Sabara, It extends from the base of
San Bernardino southeasterly, 180 miles,
part of ite surface being below our boundary line ia Sonora, Its area is 9,000 equare
miles; aud, excepting the Colerado, which
cuts across its lower end, is without river or
lake. It stretches off to the horizon on all
sides without ove glimpee of vegetation or
life. Its sirface is ashy and parched; its
frame of mountains rise pinnacles of brown
rock, bare even of soil. Words are uncqual
to the task of describing its apparent ex
panee, the purity of its night, the brillianey
of the stars tbat overhang it, the tints of
the mountains at daybreak, the looming up
of these beyond the horizon, the glare of
the mid-day sun, the violence of its local
storms of dust and sand. Parts are entirely
destitute of sand, being smooth, compact,
sunbaked clay;—other parts are covered
with heaps of sand, disposed like snow-drifts
in waves of 50 aud 80 feet in hight. Near
the mountains along the Qolorado there is
a terrace as flat as the floor, and paved with
pebbles of nearly aniform size, of porphyry,
jaeper, quartz, cornelian, and agate, all
rounded by the action of water, and pol
ished till they glisten by the driving sand,
In this respect again, the porch of our Great
Desert is like that which outlines the Lybian
Desert. Doubtless the northern part of the
desert is the dry bed of an ancient lake of
fresh water,whose beached lines are strongly
marked. Probably, at a comparatively recent period, the water of the California
Gulf covered all the clay surface of the
desert. It lies below their level now, and
if a channel were cut through the natural
embankment of the Colorado, it would be
doubtless covered again with water. It is
very probable that the Colorado Desert region was uplifted within historic times,
Earthquakes occasionally agitate its surface
and in 1852, there were eruptions of mud
and hot water in the central parts of the
valley.
Mvcn PatLosopny ry a Few Worps,—
The following extract we make from one
of Dr. Holland’s late essays upon homan
life, now published in the Spriogleld Republican, The philosophy it inculcates
would save a vast deal of unhappiness :
It seems a very melancholy thing for a
man to carry a mental uleer with bim
through life—to feel its pricks and pangs
in every effort—to be conscious of its presence every hour—to be eugaged in covering it from eight, or in attempt to deceive
the world with regard to it. Life is altogether too good a thing to be spoiled by a
little sore, or a large one, when there exists an obvious mode of cure. It is our immense and intense self-consciowsness that
stands in our way always in this matter,
The truth is that the world does not think .
half so much about us as we imagine it
does. A man may walk through the city
of New. York with a face “as homely asa
hedge-fence,” thinking about it aj] the
time, and wondering what the people think
of it, and not a man of all the throng will
even see it. Itis so in all the world at
large. Our personal peculiarities, our personal failures, our personal weakness, our
pereonal affairs generally, possess very little interest for others. They have enough
to do in taking care of themselves, and have
weakness and failures and peculiarities
1
.
.
. enough of their own and if the world should .
spurn our well-meant efforts in its behalf,
why, let it go. Iteffects nothing to get .
sore and sensitive over it. When a man .
truly learns of how little importance he is
in the world, he is geuerally beyond the
danger of becoming gailed by his barness,
whatever it may be.

Love’s Labor Lost.
The London Times, and other journals
in the iaterest of the English Palmerstor
Government, have been industrivus and
marked in their endeavors to warn and discourage English capitalists from having
anything whatever to do with the New
American Loan. By this time those Rebel
sympathizing jourvals must be conviooed
that they bave made egregious ninnies of
themselves in this matter of the. Loan,
They bave been refusing a favor never asked, and one not likely to be asked, for from
present appearance it docs not appear that
any attempt will be made to dis of 9°
dollar’s worth of the new bonds ia Europe.
The loyal citizens of the United States are
able to take the whole amount of the Loan,
and would be were it three times as large
as it is; they are willing to take it, as events
have demonstrated, for they have faith in
the stability of their Government to meet
it; uod they have every reason to beHeve
that the integrity, honor and power of the
Government will be maintained, for those
who are subscribing to the Loan are determined with their own strong hands to sup:
port aud uphold the Government to whieh
they are willing to trast not only their tortunes, but their sacred bonora, The American people are willing to furnish the United States Government with all the pecwniary aid it requires to putdown Rebellion,
aod they are determined that the Govern.
ment shall be ina condition to repay al!
advances, by using all their physical powers to enable it to crush out Treason and to
punish Traitors, The United States Government is a creature of the people ; it. is
an engine devised by them for their own
protection ; to it the people are indebted
for the property and proeperity they pos
sees ; aud their conduct of Jate shows that
they are willing to hazard life and property
in defense of the Government, as without
the latter the former would be valueless ;
and they lave abundant abilities to faroich
both to any amount necessary to protect
the Government from the asean)ts of all ite
enemies, whether domestic traitors or foreign foes. The American Loan will'not be
compelled to seck a market either ion BagJand or France, and all the efforte of. the
Palmerstonian journals to depreciate that
Joan are just so much “Labor Lost.’? Jo
their unhappy domestic troubles, the American people will convince the Bugbish: Palmerston Ministry, and the whole world,
that they are able to successfully fight their
own battles and to pay their own expenses.
They ask for no physical or pecuniary aid
from any foreign powers, neither will they
submit to impertinent interferenee from
any.—[Call.
Tae Bareroorey Privrer Boy.— The
Pittsburg Morning Ariel, under this caption
gives a short etory of a distinguished citizen
of Pennsylvania, as follows:—
Some forty years ago a barefooted boy
flooted down the Susquehanna on a humble
raft, and arrived at Harrisburg. He caine
from the North, and belonged to a large
family; all his worldly goods were tied. up
in a little pocket handkerchief. He sougbs
aod obtained employment in a printing office as an apprentice. From an apprentice
to a journeyman, from a journeyman to »
reporter, then to an editor, the barefooted
printer boy worked away against obstacles
which the suffering poor only know. The
persevering follower in Franklin’s steps began to realize the fruits of toil and prtivation. The youngaspirant became a printer
to the State, and by frugal management
was soon enabled to accomplish the object
nearest his beart—the establishment of bis
mother in a home above want—in posses.
sion of every comfort she could desire, Jis
brothers were his next care; and, like Na. poleou, he had a strong arm with which to
aid them—an indomitable perseverence that
nothing could long suecesstully obstract.
. In a few years, they, too, with his sistere,
. were independent in the world; the once
barefooted printer boy was in possession of
influence, surrounded by a young and affectionate family. He was the friend of the
friendless,a patron of merit, and an encourager in industry, He rose in honor
and office, until the barefooted printer boy,
who entered a printing office in Harrisburg.
hungry and weary, laid down his bundle on
a pile of wet paper and asked to become a
. printer’s apprentice, wae elected a United
. States Senator. This man is Simon Camon Mission street near Fourth. It is 160 . €t00, the present Secretary of War.
