A Soda Mine.

Some two miles north of the Sand Springs
Road, and fifty miles east of Virginia and
Gold Hill, is an immense and apparently
inexhaustible deposit of pure soda. 1t is
owned by parties in Carson and Virginia,
who use it in the manufacture of soap, and
also supply quartz mills with it as chem
ical agent in the reduction of ores. They
also supply it to drug and grocery stores,
where it is sold for washing and other pur-
poses for which common soda is ordinarily
used 1t is free from all earthly matter,
and consists of eighty per cent. soda, the
balance being salt or something of the sort.
The deposit is in the midst of an alkali fiat
of some seventeen acres in extent, and at
the surface it appeared only about three
feet wide, or rather more like a soda spring
than anything else, the pure article forming
in crust over and about the strong watery
solution. Upon digging beneath this how
ever, the solid soda was discovered in a
defined mass like quartz ledge. A shaft
has been sunk beside it to the depth of fifty
feet, from the bottom of which drift has
been made twenty-five feet into the vein or
deposit of soda, without getting through
it; in fact very little is known of the depth
or extent of this huge deposit of soda ex-
cept that there is apparently million tons
or more of it in sight. The enclosing walls
on each side are very distinctly defined,
and are simply composed of a dark, heavy,
compact iron sand, strongly impregnated
with soda. This deposit is as singular as
it is valuable, and goes to show how little
the varied and inexhaustible resources of
our young State are as yet developed.

A Summer Idyl.
BY kAMBA THORPE.

When woodlands spread denser screen,
And wheat is reaped on summer plains,
When apples blush for looking green,
And berries ripen in the lanes;
When bees go robbing clover-felds,
And barefoot truants wade the brook;
Or in the shade the forest yields,
They seek them out some breezy nook;
When summer weaves her Slumb'rou spell
OF drowsy murmurs lulling care,
Till Thought lies dormant in his cell,
To watch the castles rise in air;
When vocal rover haunts the land,
Roaming adown the duty walks,
Or i'll the stubble takes his stand,
And loudly of the harvest talks?
From sylvan coverts far and near,
A name is called from morn till night,
And questions asked in accents clear,
About the crop of Farmer White.
The vague, mysterious crop of peas,
The cleaners of the feathered gown
Are waiting eagerly to seize,
When Bob shall lay his sickle down.
o Bob. Bob White! Where doth he dwell
And wherefore do they call his name?
And who he is-can any tell?
Can any whisper whence he came?
Have any seen him on the hills,
Industrious at the dawn of day?
Have any spied him by the rills,
Doing the noontide hours away?
Have any met him on the road,
Returning from the market-town,
And asked if peas were in his load,
Whenevening shades were creeping down?
Or doth he dwell where calves and sheep
Forever wander through the corn,
Where ''neath the hay stack fast asleep"
Young Boy Blue clasps his silent horn?
And is he any kin to Kate
Who did the deed without name;
Or that poor Will whose cruel fate
The twilight babblers still proclaim?

AT the village of Beauvais was recently
celebrated "Woman's Rights" anniver-
sary, dating from the year of grace 1852,
when Charles the Bold and his Burgundian
followers were defeated in besieging the
town. The women had assisted the male
defenders, and the latter becoming beauti-
fully less, the fair sex armed themselves.
A shout is heard, Burgundian has planted
a flag on the rampant, but almost at the
same moment is raised cry of terror.
The soldier who planted the flag rolls down
on his comrades head cleft in two. And
by whom? By the prettiest girl of the
town, Jeanne Laine, who holds the enemy's
flag in one hand, the Ratchet that effected
the happiest despatch of the foe in the
other. Jeanne follows up the blow, reani-
mates the defenders, who charge the Duke,
and force him to raise the siege. The
"maid" received the name of Jeanne
"lIatchet, Jenny of the hatchet,-and
to keep her memory green, Louis NJ.
granted patent that every year the young
girls of the town should carry the flag in
procession, and, after mass, to indulge
little in high linking. Beauvais is not only
celebrated for it's carpets, watches, and
clocks, but also for it's model firesides.

The War.

The love of arms las characterized the
chivalry of barbaric and civilized life. 1t
has given to nations their brightest epochs
and darkest episodes. If the worlds his
tory could be written in one word, WAR
would perhaps be the most fitting and
comprehensive to describe it. War may
be considered both as malady and a REM
edy; it at once demoralizes and rectifies
the evils of society; it is the "wrath of
man" which God overrules and ere
strains" and causes to react for the pub
lie good.
Nationalities are the creations of God,-
by Him kings reign. He adjusts their
administrations and dynasties to the COM
mon cause of human progress. God gov
ems the world, and is the arbiter of its
men, whether peaceful or warlike, are in
dications of the divine hand.
There is in human affairs law which we
call Providence, to be distinguished from
the common law of nature and of society,
but which acts in harmony Herewith, and
finds its sphere amid all processes and
events, whose object is, as above indicated,
to counteract the follies of men and to
punish their sins; to vindicate the right;
advance the welfare of society, and to con-
summate the purposes Of God towards the
race.
1t is very evident to our mind, that
the present war in Europe it not a matter
simply originating in imperial ambition or
court intrigue; for whatever parts these
elements may play in the programme,
there is higher power conducting the
movements of the scene. AS the Spirit of
God of old stirred up Nebuchadnezzar to
fight against Israel, so Napoleon was
pressed by the same invisible agency to de-
clare war against Prussia; and whatever may
be the result of this Franco Prussian war,
great revolutions are pending. If the map
of Europe be not changed, its political
st,ttus must be. The despotims of Europe
are destined to be subverted; the Turkish
Empire must be dissolved; the dynasties of
Asiatic heathendom must 60 down; the
Papacy already seems sliding from its
foundation, and many other changes in the
social and political and even religious
fabric of Eastern and European civiliza-
ton must certainly transpre i'll the pro-
gress of human development. The epoch
of the worlds jubilee is approaching to
crown the ages. Let it come, and inaugu-
rate the reign of universal "PEACE ON
EARTH, AND GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN,"

The Rain-DrOp.
BY AGRICOLA.

Musing, I watched the balmy rain
AS onward it dashed DER the dusty plain,
Now rushing swift in maddening glee,
Now, slowly, so softly, solemnly;
Drop after drop, as onward they go,
Seek the same rest on the earth below.
thought how quick their prattling mirth
Was lost, as they sank in the silent earth;
thought how short was the race they run,
How gone forever, though just begun;
Drop after drop, rs swiftly they go,
Meet the same fate ON the earth below.
In them, saw the life of the gay
Who delight in pleasure-live but day
Who think but of frolic, joy and mirth,
Sink, like the rain, in the silent earth;
Drop after drop, as proudly they go,
They rest together on the earth below.
Now slow and sad they sweep through the
air,
In the sunshine so brilliant, so gentle and
fair;
No more is heard their murmuring mirth;
All have sunk deep in the silent earth.
Drop after drop, ceased is their mrth;
All are at rest in the silent earth.

Il know nothing in fiction wilder or
more romantic than the life of Richard
Brinsley Sheridan. The son of an Irish
actor endowed with the most brilliant and
and varied gifts of nature, high spirit, a
noble presence, imagination, wit, and elo-
quence, all those qualities that win the adj
miration of men and the affection of wo-
men, yet without shilling in the world to
call his own, without either Of those re-
Communications which form the passport in
the highest circles of English society-high
birth and university honors-the author of
the "School of Scandal rose by the main
force of his genius, and rose almost at
bound, to the highest position in the ranks
Of political and social life, at period
when political and social life in England
was tainted by the narrowest and most
exclusive spirit that has ever distinguished
the aristocracy of that country. He held
that position, and held it with eelat, all
through long life, the rival of wits like
Coleman and Horne Tooke; of orators and
statesmen like Pitt, and Fox, and Burke;
and OF men OF genius like Byron and Scott.
He died almost in the arms of sheriff"s
officer, and was buried, with honers all but
regal, with princes of the blood for his
pall-bearers, in the sepulchre of great
kings and statesmen. 1t was a brilliant
but sad career, full of startling contrasts
marked by many humiliations and many
victories, by great failures and great sue
cesses; and yet now, when one asks what
remains of all this success it is not easy to
frame an answer. A speech or two, which
no one now thinks of reading, except to
trace, in it's most vivid colers, what he
thinks the false taste of the age in elO-
quence and wit; the feeting recollection Of
few epigrams and bon mots; and two or
three sparkling contributions to the litera-
ture of the drama, are all that remain to
mark the genius of the man who for thirty
years was 'The pride of the palace, the
bower and the hail.
