A wonderful thing is the rain! r
A charmer whose magic never is vain. ..
1t says to the buried flowers. Come forth.
1t awakes into beauty the sad old earth;
To the violcts hidden. Arise. it saith.
And life awakes in the heart of death,
Gladness and beauty are in its train,
Oh wonderful thing is the April rain!
A wonderful thing is the rain!
Earth never tires of its sweet refrain.
The songs of the ages pass away,
And the world is weary and worn to day.
Vanly have poets dreamed and sung,
But the world of nature is very young;
Earth stifl rejoices in sun and dew
And the song of the rain is forever new.
A wonderful thing is the rain
Earth's sweetest harmonies meet in its strain;
The soothcr of sorrow, the ease of strife,
Weaving its rythm in every life.
Through slccpless nights, with it's silvery chime.
Wingng the weary wheels of time. oh"
Oh wonderful singer! in grief or glee
Who can speak TO the heart like thee?
A wonderful thing is the rain!
Linked to the spirits joy or pain.
Joyous and hopeful or sad and low.
All an the hearts, deep fountains flow.
But deeper and stronger the spell that fings
Its light or shadow on earthly things
THERE is the alebemist's mystic art
A wonderful thing is the HUMAN HEART!

Editing a NeWsnaner,

There are people who think it an easy
matter to edit newspaper; there are men
who think any man of education can sue
ceed in the profession. But the truth is,
there are comparatively few men who sue,
ceed in it, and for the reason that they do
not regard it as profession, requiring study
and preparation. 1t is also a laborous pro.
fession, where pursued with industry suf1i.
cient to insure success. The London Daily
Post furnishes a paragraph which gives a
great deal of truth in few lines:
A good editor, a competent newspaper
conductor is, like general or poet, born
not made. On the London daily papers
all the great historians. novelis.s, poets and
writers Of travels have been tried, and near.
ly all have failed. We might say all, for
after display of brilliancy, brief, but grand,
they died out literally. Their resources were
exhausted. ~ can" said late editor of tbs
Times to Moore, find any number Of men
of genius to write for me, but very seldom
one of common sense" Nearly all success
fu editors have been men of this descrip.
ton. Campbell, Carlyle, Bulwer and DIS
raeli failed; Barnes, Sterling and Phillips
succeeded. A good editor seldom writes for
his paper; he reads, judges, selects, dictates,
alters and combines; and to do all this we'll,
he has but little time for composition. To
write for paper is one thing-to edit a
paper is another

QUARTZ MINING.-The Nevada Transcript
SAYS:
Experience Of the past two years has de.
monstrated that quartz mining, when proper
ly managed, is a pretty sure business, and al.
so that the mines in this vicinity are as valu.
able as any to be found in this State. A few
years ago it was thought that no valuable
quartz mines could be found in the county
outside of Grass Valley township, and for sew,
eral years no effort was made to develop q
ledge in this locality. The reason why Grass
Valley is in advance of Nevada in the rich
paying mines which have been opened, is
this: In Grass Valley the placer mines were
exhausted long before similar mines were
here, and the miners were forced to embark
in quartz. Here we had some Of the mos.
extensive and richest placer diggings in the
State, and this kind of mining being better
understood, the entire energy of our people
was devoted to them. The leads which have
been opened near Nevada within the pas.
two years pay as we'll as any to be found id
Grass Valley which have not been worked to
greater depth. Nearly every paying mine
in Grass Valley to day has its history 'fatl.
ure, and in most cases it has only been after
number of failures that mine has been
made to pay. Experience has taught miners
that the only sure test for the value of a mine
is dsep working, and when our quartz lodges
are thoroughly prospected by men who un-
derstand their business, there is no more risk
in quartz mining than there is in any other
kind of business 20" a

The first brick ever made from bullion
taken out Of the Gould & Curry mine, is
still preserved in the Office of the company
in Virginia City. 1t was taken out in 1860,
is principally Of silver, and worth about
500. 1t is about five inches long, three
inches wide and three,sourths of an inch
thick, and its value, as being the first brick
from that noted mine, is far more than its
intrinsic worth as mere bullion.
