Tax CLooK.-Did you ever sit beside a

steady, steady tickings? These sounds
are but our footballs towards the tomb.
The true language of "the tick, is, less,
less life is growing less; and eternity
comes nearer and nearer No Joshua
stands near at hand to hold back the
progress Of time. How can it be, that
person could give attention to the mo.
ton and meaning Of the clock, and not
feel warned of forthcoming eternity?
VIII not even the clock on the mantle
OF Christian home, be remembered in
eternity, as we'll as the neglected Sab
bath bell2 The candid mind filled with
thoughts of the preciousuess OF an i'm
mortal soul, cannot listen to steady
tickings of the clock and not be un-
moved. This is impossible. Let any
one for quarter Of an hour sit and
listen to the clock, yes the old Family
Clock, which has licked through scenes.

The WEALTH OF COLORADO -GoV-
ernor Evans of Colorado, in & recent
speech before the Chicago Chambr OF
Commerce, gave the following decrip-
ton of the resources of his Territory.
He thinks that the Northern and Stuth-
ern lines Of the Pacific railroad should
meet at Denver.
Lying along the Great CordillG or
snowy range, which divides the witrrs
OF the Atlantic from those Of the Pa
cifc oceans, directly west Of Denver tity,
extending from near the base OF LQlgs
Peak In Il southerly direction for over
two hundred miles in Colorado, is what
| believe to be the most extensive and
richest mineral belt of country in the
world.
From five to fifteen miles wide for this
vast extent, the mountains are literally
gridrOned over with gold, silver, copper
and lead.bearing lodcs, many Of them
known to be Of great extent and unsur-
passed richness, while manybt them, Of
course, are too narrow or foo poor to
pay for working. | believethat enough
that are extensive and rich have already
been discovered to give Df0htable en-
ployment to 4 million OF MEN. And the
extensive discoveries ttI have been
made the past year aSturc US Of a
vast increase in their ghmbGr in the
future.
The pyrites from whicS the gold has
been extracted in a Largo proportion of
the mines that have secn worked is
found to be very valuable quality of
copper ore. The largest smelling works
of Colorado are now making copper mat
containing the bullion; which is shipped
to New York and to Swansea, Eng
land, to be essayed. This product will
furnish an immense carrying trade for
the railroad, and rom my knowledge of
the vast number and richness of these
copper mines (Which are the richest in
gold ALSO, have no doubt that Colorado
in addition to her gold, silver and lead
will soon produce more copper than any
other Of our mining districts, that of
Lake Superior not excepted.
