Coal VALLEY has largely increased IN pum-
bers and in business within the past year,
and is now one of the lively towns of our
county-all built up by the coal trade This
business has largely increased under the
skillful maaageuent of Mr.. Gable, and is now
one of the great sources of revenue to the
people of our county-perhaps the greatest,
az every man in the whole community, labor
or. mechanic, farmer, manufacturer, and
.radesman is benefited by it.
We noticed. while at the Valley, on Thurs |
dav, a new dump" and set of screens just
nut in operation by Mr.. Gable. It consists of
two screens, one Immediately over the other.
The small coal fcalled '.nut coaP') and the
coal dust or dirt are separated from the large
coal, the dust or slack passing into one car,
the nut coal into another car, and the large
coal, which is sold from the yard in this city,
into another car The coal sold for general
consumption is thus greatly improved. and
the slack or dust is all carried away from the
dump" The nut coal is sold to shops, fac
tories, mills, distilleries, &C., &C., to run en-
eiues with. The slack is used to ballast up
the road bed, instead of leaving it to aecumu
lste about the dump. The large or coarse
coal is sold from the levee, in this oi.y to
city customers and wagons from the country,
or sent, by rail- Iowa or other points where
ever ordered
Mr.. Gable is now opening a new bank at
the Valley, and putting up new dump,
screens, &c. &c. on the same principle as the
set we have described, and before the LIST OF
November will be able to deliver 500 tons of
coal day The largest amount ever produc-
cd, up 10 tpls time, has been an average OF 800
tons day. He has just pu. in 20 new miners
and is engaging others as fast a. fast a. men
apply. 1t will thus be seen that a new inn
petus will soon be given to all kinds of bus,-
ness, as an increase of the coal trade helm.
everybody more or less,
The condition of the road from here to Coal
Valley is the very best of any road in thi.
yincinity, and we doubt if any road in tn,
United States has 50 smooth and good road
bed. Nearly the whole road is ballasted will
coal dust, and men are continually at worl
upon it, keeping it in the very best order
An ordinary freight car runs as smooth an
still, on the Coal Valley road, as the bes
passenger coach on some of our popular road
east.

That beat against my breast,
Rage on-though may st destroy this form
And lay it low at rest;
But still the spirit that now brooks
The tempest, raging high,
Undaunted, on its fury looks
With steadfast eye.
said to Penury's meagre train,
Come on--your threats | brave;
My last poor life drop you may drain,
And crush me to the grave;
Yet still the spirit that endures
Shall mock your force the while
And meet each cold, cold grasp of yours
With bitter smile.

Pass OIL heed you not;
Ye may pursue me till my form
And being are forgot
Yet still the spirit which you see
Undaunted by your wles,
Draws from its own nobility
Its higbborn smiles.
said to Friendships mennced brow,
Strike deep-my heart shall bear;
Thou cans't but add enc bitter woe
To those already there:
Yet still the spirit that sustains
Tho last severe distress,
Shall smile upon its keencst pains,
And scorn redress.

Wrapt in its own eternity,

A beautiful German legend is told in
Thorpe's Yue Tide Stories It relates
that mother who had lost darling little
daughter, s0rrowed day and night for her as
one without hope, aBd that iJr three days
and three nights she neither ate nor drank
anything, but wept in the bitterness Of her
soul. The third night, as she thus sat, over
come with her suffering, in the place where
her child had died, her eyes Jathed in tears
and faint from grief the door softly opened,
and the mother started, for before her stood
her departed child. 1t had become a heavenly
angel, and smiled swcetly as innocent and
was beautiful like ths blessed. 7. had il its
hand cup that was running over, so full it
was. And the child spoke, Oh dearest
mother, weep no more for me the angel of
mourning has collected IN this little cup the
tears which you have shed for ne. II for me
you shed one tear more, Il will overflow. I
shall have no more rest in the grave, aud no
JOY in heaven. Therefore, o, dcares. mother
