The Iron Mountain :

are found disconnected masses, many tons

ameter. 1t is not easy TO estimate the
quantity of ore above the base Of the noun
taln,, as it IS interstrati6ed with states. At
any rate 1t IS enormous and may be con-
sldered dCinexhaustible. The amount above
the surface cannot be less than l3,sTe,7z3
tonsi but it evidently far exceeds this esti-
mate, for the thick stratum from which
most OF the ore has been obtained will gife

what depth the ore extends below the base
of the mountain has never yet been ascer-
tained. An artesian well, was attempted to
be bored at the base of the mountain, and
after attaining depth of 1870 feet, most of
the way through iron ore, the work was
abandoned. When the boring ceased the
auger rested in solid mass of ore: so that

above the surface of the valleys, to furnish
i,OOo, 900 tons per annum of manufactured
iron for the next two hundred years.
The land on which it lies was grant BY
the Spanish Government, when this portion
Of the Southwest was in possession of that
Government. The grant was confirmed by
the Congress of the United States In 1886;
but on account of the difficulty of trans-
portation, and the impression that the ore
could not be smelted, this iuexhaustibIe
supply was permitted to remain nnproduc-
tive until 1851, when the Iron Mountain
Company was formed, and proceeded to the
erection of furnaces. 1 -

Purity of Character.

Over the beauty of the plum and the
apricot there grows a bloom and beauty
more exquisite than the fruit itself-a soft
delicate flush that oyerspreads its blushing
cheek. Now if you strike your hand oye1
that, and it is once gone it is gone forever,
for it never grows but once. The flower
that hangs in the morning .impearled with
deW-aFrayed as no queenly woman aver
was arrayed with jewels-once shake it, so
that the beads roll off, and you may sprinkle
water over it as you please, yet it can new
er be made again what it was when the dew
fell silently upon it from heaven On a
frosty morning you may see the panes of
glass covered with landscapes-mountain
lakes, trees-blended in beautiful, fantas-
tic picture. Now lay your hand upon the
glass, and by the scratch of your finger, or
by the warmth of your palm, all the deli
cate tracery viii be obliterated. So there Is
in youth beauty and purity of character,
which, when once touched and defled, can
never be restored fringe more delicate
than frost work, and which, when torn and
broken, will never be re-embroidered. A
man who has spotted and soiled his gar
ments in youth. though he may seek to
make them white again, can never wholly
do it, even were he to wash them with tears.
When young man leaves his fathers house,
with the blessing of his mothers tears still
wet upon his forehead, if he once lose that
early purity of character. it is loss that
he can never make whole again. Such is
the consequence of crime. Its effects can
not be eradicated; it can only be forgiven

Vermont Politics.

The politicians of Vermont will be very
Busy during the year 1860. Already we
hear OF various movements and plans
in all parts of the State, for The advance
mcnt of some f,voritc object. Cliques and
cabals are cooking up political programmes,
which. when fully ma;ured, are to be pre-
sented TO the people as something remark
ably clever and honest, having sprung mp
by spontaneous combustion. There is
nothing more remarkable in Amer lean pol
tiles, than that the secret doings Of few,
are palmed off as the voice of the people.
The most corrupt thing at present, in
our State politics, is probably the State
House question. Indeed, we hear that
throughout the State, those who favor the
releasing of Montpelier on the bond, are TO
receive the support Of all the special cham.

NAV result in saddling the State with q
large bill to pay in addition to that of the
State House. We believe the time ha:
fully come when the people should make q
thorough examination Of our State fnan.
