( IcE MOUNTAINS IN WEST VA.-On the
East bank Of the North river, in Ilan,
shire county, Yves. Va. is, perhaps, one
Of the greatest curiosities in the State
II is literally an lee Mountain, in height
from 400 TO 500 feet. Tho western side
Of this Mountain is covered with loose
stone, Of u light color, from the base to the
summit. BY removing the stone, pure
solid crystal ice can be found in the warm
est days Of summer, and il has been found
there even as.late as the middle Of Sep
TENDER. 1t may exist throughout tie
entire year if the rocks were removed to a
sufficient depth. What seems strange is
that the side Of the mountain where the
ice is found is exposed to the sun through
out the day, and it is said that the sun
does not havcias much effect in melting
the ice MS continuous rains. At the base
Of this mountain is aspiring Of water, very
clear and cold. Some years ago tho owner
Of the property removed the stone and
erected small log dairy at this spring.
Milk, butter and fresh meat eau be kept
in this dairy or spring house at any season
as safely us they can be preserved in an
ice house. Flies and snakes sometimes
find their way unto this spring house
where they Immediately become chilled
and storpid. On being removed, they
soon recover life and motion. How would
some of our friends like to visit this spot
now that the thermometer stands II, 90

Can WoMgy KEEP SEcREr.-Gcorgc
Francis Train renders judgment rs fol.
lows:
Men say women can't keep a secret.
1t is just the rcycrse-women can, men
can't. Women carry with them to their
graves secrets that would kill any man.
Woman never tells, man always does
Woman suffers and dies; man blabs and
and lives. Man cannot keep secret,
woman cannot make It known. What is
sport TO the man is death to the woman,
Adam was sneak. Eve would have
kept the apple secret. he ye fruitful
Who ever heard woman talk Of her love
dascos? Every body has heard man
gossip. Man delights in telling of his
illicit couques,s; woman would cut out
her tongue first, Men are COURSE in their
club-room talk; women refined in their
parlor conversation. Who ever heard .E
u woman telling Of her lovers? Who has
not listened to the dissipation of the men?
Men boast, women don't. Women never
tell tales out Of school, men are always
babbling. So down with another old
adage. Women can keep secret.

A DETERMINED GIRL,-Miss Carrie

and it was supposed MORALLY wounded by
her lover, Salvador Collot, in the City
Park in New Orleans. three or four weeks
since, has persistGntly refused to testify
against bin. The New Orleans Piray.
une says: "She has unexpectedly recov-
cred from her wounds, and on Friday last
was taken before the grand jury. aud still
refused to answer any questions. The
foreman reported the facts to the court,
and the judge asked her if thirty days
confinement would soften her obstinacy,
when she, amid tears, answered that she
was not obstinate. but had nothing to say.
The judge finally told her that he was
afraid, if forced to give evidence, she
would commit perjury to save the accused
from wcll-dcscrved punishment, aud us
the grand jury had requested it, he would
discharge her from custody. She was
married TO Collot on the same evening"

How Pooh BOYS Reach TIE Tor
RoUND. THE New York Commercial
Advertiser says: There Ore 1913
names who pay an income tax in this
city. Sixty seven persons who pay
tax on incomes of 100000 or over.
Most of these solid gentlemen are self
made men, who have come up from the
lowest round of the ladder The man
who heads the list A. T.. Stewart every
body knows is an Irish emigrant, who
commenced life with capital less than
twenty-five cents indeed, with few
exceptions, most Of the parties in the
list were scarce as well off as Mr.. Stew
art Take Henry Keep; he boasts
that he graduated from the Poor House
of Jefferson county. Jay Gould drove
herd of cattle from Delhi, Delaware
county, when lad, for fifty cents
day. in order to get money enough to
reach the Hudson river, David Groes-
beck, Cover thirty years ago, used to
mend old shoes for his brother, who
was a respectable shoemaker in Albany.
We all know the history of James Cor
don Bennett, and Robert Bonner, poor
boys full of talent and industry. Rufus
Hatch, when youngster, had an am
bition to hold the reins of a peddler's
wagon. e. D. Morgan commenced life
with o quarter measure of molasses. It
is scarce dozen years since Henry
Clews was an errand boy in one Of the
banking houses down town. The two
brothers Seligman started out in life
with a pedlar's pack. David BOWS, in
his younger days, retailed pork by the
half pound and molasses by the gill.
H. T. Helmbold was first cabin boy on
the sloop Mary Jane, that navigated
the Delaware river. We might go on
through the list, and show that nearly
every one of these solid men were
architects of their own fortunes. Young
men, who are struggling for place and
position, should remember that the in
diyiduals jim sthe list had to battle
for life just as hard as they are do
ing. Let them take the heart and new
er say die.

NECESSITY OF MENTAL LABOR
Labor is the condition which God has
Imposed on us IN every station in life ;
there is nothing worth having without
it. There is always hope in a man
chat actually and earnestly works,
whether that labor be merely physical
II or mental All true work is sacred.
The acquisitions of knowledge, which
a man makes are all for his own use,
and neither accident nor misfortune
can deprive him Of the fruits Of his
own studies. Fame, riches, and even
friends may be taken away, bat the
well stored mind remains, and gives to
its possessor, q never failing source of
rational and refined enjoyment. 1t is
oftentimos said, and yet, nevertheless
true, that the period of youth is by far
the best fitted for improvement.
Every thing then has the charm of nov
city and freshness, and the memory is
tenacious of the deep impressions it
receives to degree unknown in after
life. We have frequently heard men
deplore neglected education, attribut-
ing it, not merely to the force of
circumstances or lack of opportunity,
but to want of proper application in
youth, looking back with shame and
regret to days and hours misspent in
improbable idling. 1t is no easy task
to study and 'Abor for the acquisition
OF knowledge, when we arrive at the
years OF muturity with the mind dis
tracted by the cares and troubles Of the
world, or engrossed with its beguilng
pleasure. And yet it has been done
can he done Some Of our greatest
men have been among those whose
early education being neglected, have
by dint of hard study, self denial and
close application risen to the highest
positions in political and social life.
SO that none need despair, not even
the most illiterate, if they set about the
acquisition OF knowledge with an earn
est desire and firm purpose. And We
would say to the young, study-study
study, lose no opportunity Of storing
your mind with useful and practical
knowledge

When the Resolution was reported, Mr..
Moanauli moved to amend. BY adding Can
nibals to the list Of undesirable people.
This being seconded, the Chairman, who
was bent on business, and did not think it
necessary to call for any remarks, put the
amendment, and it was apparently adopted
or rejected 1--WE could not tell which,
by large vote. Mr.. Charles Judd had
risen quickly, and desired to debate it,
and complained that the Chairman of the
meeting hurried matters so much, but the
initiator of the meeting pronounced Mr..
Judd disorganlzer, and a Government
man, etc. This last remark seemed to be
very severe one, in the mind of Mr..
Judd's opponent, possibly synonymous with
traitor Mr. Judd observed that be did
not know what he had to do with the Gov
eminent; he was trying to get chance
to express his own views, and spoke for
no one else. He then subsidized.
Some Others seemed to have some
views, or to think they had some, which
they wished to express, but they we're
pronounced dlsorganizers, and "squelcbed
out" after which, they subsidized.
Mr.. Lyons then proceeded to remark on
his Resolution in a very fluent way,
which showed that he was accustomed to
talk on this subject. The enforcement of
specific performance of contract of
labor was wrong, because no such contract
could be enforced throughout the length
and breadth of the United States.
We left Mr.. Lyons making his remarks,
without any doubt that the audience would
believe that the Chinese are quite un-
necessary, here at least, and possibly on
the face of the earth.
The meeting, as we afterwards learned,
passed the Resolution with great unan-
unity.
