YoUNG MAN. DEPEND ON Your

You've MAN, DEPEND ON Your
OWN EFFoRTs-Fight your own
battles. Hoe your own row
Ask no favors Of any one, and
you will succeed a thousand
times better than those who are
always beseeching some one's1
patronage. No one will ever
help you as you can help your
self, because no one will be SO
heartily increased in your af.
fairs. The first step will not be
such a long one, perhaps; but,y,
carving your own way up to the
mountain, you make each, one
lead to another, and stand firm
in that while you chop out still
another. Men who have made
their fortunes are not those who
had five thousand dollars given
them to start with, but started
fairtWith a Well-earned dollar or!
two. Men who have by their,
own exertions acquired fame
have not been thrust into popu-,
larity by pufs begged or paid
for, or given in given in friendly
spirit. They have outstretched
their hands and touched the
public heart. Men who win love
do their own wooing, and l new
er knew a man to fail so signal
ly as one who had induced his
affectionate grandmamiha to
speaka a good word for him.Aut
Whether you work for fame,
for love, for money Or for any
thing else, work with your
hands, heart, and brain. Say

will conquer. Never lot any
man have it say, II dragged

How to Water Horses,

One writer says, never water
Immediately after feeding. I
say that if a horse is thirsty, al
ways give him drink, and he
will thank you for it. | have
often seen horses put into the
stable at noon for an hour or
two, and not eat a pound of
hay or grain, but looking wist-
fully for water, and then their
careful owner, who would not
let them have water when warm
will come to give them enough
to kill, and ride or drive the
remainder Of the day on two
buckets of water and no feed.-
Ten chances to one his horse
gives out with him or gets, sick
before night. Now, / say, give
the horse water if he is ever SO
warm ;givehim a swallow, rinse
out his mouth and nostrils, give
him a bit of hay, in a short time
a little more water, but not too
much.
Ifhe is watered several times,
a little at a time, until he is sat
isfed, he will not drink more
than half what he would if you
let him gulp it down all at
once.

NIAGARA SUSPENSION BRIDGE.-
The first Niagara suspension
bridge was built over twenty
years ago, but a recent critical
examination Of the work has
been made, and the caps ON the
towers have been removed, the
cables were found to be perfect
in every respect. The mason
ry over the anchorage of the
cables was also removed fol
about twelve feet, or below
where the wires were attached
to the anchor chains. A por-
tion Of the cable was imbeded
in the water lime cement, yet.
after removing this substance
and rubbing the paint off the
wires, they were found as bright
and perfect as when first placed
there, the cement having pre-;
served the wires and anchor
chains.

PROPHECY OF PLANETIC TROUBLE.
"A cheerful prophet in Phila-
delphia tells us that from 1880
to 1886 this world will be subject
to an unusual amount of disas-
ter and affliction, owing to the
fact that the planets Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
will come uncommonly near to
the earth. The result will be
pestilence, famine, extremes of
heat and cold, and sundry other
direful evils. Quoth this proph-
ct: "The dissipated, the glut-
ton, the debauchee, may calcu-
late upon being the first victims.
Y oung men who devitalize
themselves by tobacco using,
young ladies who destroy one
half Of their breathing power
by tight lacing and fashionable
dress, will never survive the
perhelion Of all the large plan
cts of the solar system and
perhaps it will be best that they
should not" We hope the clas-
ses mentioned will take warn
ing and reform their way of life;
but at the same time, we should
think that these big plannets
might keep their distance, and
not come round to torment this
little world and its poor sin
ners.

ALWAYS LEARNING.-Jonatha
Edwards was pre-eminently a
student. He allotted, it is said,
twelve or thirteen hours every
day to study. and wherever
he went took his pen with him,
as the means of preserving his
thoughts. If, by chance, he
failed to have it with him in his
walks Or rides, he would fasten
pieces of paper to various parts
OF his clothing by means ofpins,
and associate with each some
train Of thoughts, Or some i'm
portant conclusion to be pre-
serAed until he coul get to ink
and paper. So, also, at night.
he would fasten pins into his
bed-curtains as the momentoes
Of his thoughts during his
wqkeful hours.

JOY in God is the happiest of all
joys. There are other sweets but
this is the virgin honey dropping
from the comb. Joy is also most
elevating JOY Those who joy in
wealth grow avaricious; those who
joy in their friends too often lose
nobihtyo of spirit; but he who boasts
in God grows like God-it is solid
joy; and he who joys in God has
good reasons for rejoicing.

Wher things don't go TO suit you,

But drive away that frown;
Since life Is oft prepleXing,
'Tis much the wisest plan
TO bear all trials bravely,
And smile whene'er you can.
why should you dread Tomorrow,
And thus lespoil to-,Iay?
For when you borrow trouble
You always have TO pay.

Don't cross the bridge hcl0reyou,
Until the bridge is reached.
You might he spared much signing,
IL you would keep in mind
The thoughts that tgoodand evil
Are always here combined,
There must be something wanting,
And though you roll in wealth,
You miss nom your Casket
The precious jewel--health.
And though you're stroLg and sturdy,
You may have an empty purse
And earth has many trials
Which consider worse
But whether joy or sorrow

Twill make your pathway brighter
10 smile whene'0r you can.

The bear that had been Woun-

For the purpose of more
thoroughly testing the matter,
Mr.. Pike took a mother sample

25th of April, 1872, received a
report, stating that the sample
upon test yields to the ton of

Value per ton in gold, $35.64.
The samples assayed were
from the outcropiHgs of the
vein. The vein is from six to

exbaustible in quantity, under
lying a vast extent Of country.

which we here chronicle was

feet, and, as stated before, when
found was supposed to be
"black band" iron ore-more
commonly known as limestone
ore.
The above embraces the sim
pie facts in the case. We have
examined the original reports
of the assayeres, and given the
result, There can pc no doubt
of their correctness-the stand
ing of the firms precluding
even a suspicion Of unfair play.
We congratulate Mr.. Pike
upon his ood fortune, and
trust that the Golden haruest

Great Silver Discovery.


More than a. year ago, Mr..
Henry Pike, of New York City,
took several specimens of ore
from the lands he now owns in
Putnam County, West Virginia,
to New York, and left them ly-
ing in his office. The samples
we're quarried by Mr.. Pike, and
taken by him as specimens Of
"blaek band iron ore and con-
sidered rich. After being in
his Office for some time, Mr..
Pixies brother, the late S. N.
Pike, happened to come in, and,
seeing itlying on the floor ex-
amined it. He at once said,
"This is silver ore; and closely
resembled specimen of ores
from silver mines in Utah in
which | am interested" He
advised that the ore be subject
ed to assay, that the truth Of
his assertion might be tested.
Mr.. Henry Pike thereupon
placed one of the samples in
the hands Of Messrs. Derrick,
Sears, & CO., Is Maiden Lane,
N, Y. City, assayers and rein
ers, Zone of the largest and
most responsible firms in the
country devoted to this bust
ness, and on the 23d day OF
April, 1872, they made the fol-
lowing report, which we copy
from the original:
