Fred Grants Initiation.
From the Omaha Herald.

From the Omana Heralu'I
A gentleman from Colorado informs
us of the maiden experience of Mr..
Frederick Grant as a civil engineer.
Berthoud, of mountain repute, had the
honor to pilot the young man over that
UNEMPLOYED portion of the Colorado line
of railroad which leads through the
Clear creek canon. This is narrow
and PERCEPTIONS gorge, through which
the stream of that name pours down
from the mountains, rocky walls tower
ing above its narrow bed thousands of
feet, and jutting up to the water in
many places so closely as to render
frequent wadng of it waist deep ne
eessity. Superintendent Sickles, an old
soldier in the business, was Mr.. Grant S
partner in Mr.. Berthoud's quadrille, and
they footed it eight miles before they
reached dry land. Mr.. Grant stood it
like major" and with true pluck,
although this literal baptism: into his
chosen profession proved pretty severe
test.
The last we heard of Mr.. Grant he
was expressing some anxiety about the
matter of subsistence and the pay he
was to receive for his services.

those Thrilling Cords Again

Oh, touch those thrilling cords again,
And sing that song once more,
) Tis one loved in other days,
And used to sing of yore.
When this heart was sunlight and all bloom,
And free as wild birds wing
Twas then loved to hear the song
That noT bid thee sing.
Thou say st it is simple thing,
And has no charm for thee;
Oh ! thou can st never, never know,
How dear it is to me.
Thou can st not know the memories
That wake in every strain
Then smile not at my earnestness,
But sing it Ger again.
1t was the first, the first sweet song
Of one who cared for me;
/ learned it from the lips of love
When stars were on the sea.
But the minstrel hand is cold and mute,
And silent is that lutte,
And the hallowed lips whence flowed that song,
Are now forever mute.
Oh many fond remembrances,
Ara -hlanded in that laE.-------s ...sss
And each soft tone watts my fui1 heart
To scenes in life's young day.
Then touch the silver chorded lutte, =
And sing that song once more;
Twas sung to me by my beloved,
In happy days of yore.

Rustic Simplicity.
BY GAIL HAMILTON.

It. is like the snakes of Ireland There
is no rustic simplicity. At least, | do not
know where you will find it outside of
books. What with telegraph. and rail
roads. and lyceum lectures. and fashion
plates. everybody knows everything. and
you may as well give it up. You need
not think. my city:son,. to come down into
our solicitude to astonish and captivate us
with your airs and graces. We know how
broad phylacteries ought to be. as well as
you. We know where the founces 60,
what colors blend, what shades are stylish,
which way stripes ought to run. Do not
think to overtop us with your Tyrolese
peaks, or overpile us with your puffs and
panniers. Go into our church and learn
that we worship just as devoutly as you,
with knots just as bright. heels just as
high. and hats just as daintily poised on
the tips of our noses. Ignorance is igno-
rance. and vulgarity is vulgarity, but their
existence no longer depends on locality or
population. Mr.. Justin Mccarthy thinks
that American men are particularly fine
looking, and some one, commenting on
Mr.. MCCARTHY, says these fine looking
men are generally city-bred. Very like
ly. We talk prettily about many things,
and among others. of the healthiness and
desirableness of farming, but it seems to
me that no man sooner mars the comeli-
ness, which his Maker gave him. than the
confirmed farmer, the actual, hard work
ing farmer. The man who depends upon
his farm for his subsistence is very apt to
be early wrinkled, bent, bald, rheumatic;
he comes to have hard, shrunk, .shrivel-
ed look. Too ofteen he bequeaths to his
children diminished stature, and enfeebled
frames. You city wise-acres are constant
fly urging young men to remain in the
country. and warning them of the certain
struggle and possible failure tina. await
them in the city, but the country lads see
sights which impress them more than a
thousapd newspapers. They see the coun-
try lad who went up to the city years ago,
grown now into stout, healthy. hand
