THE .u.aIyv'E Woods.

What is most striking in the Maine will
derness is the continuousness of the forest,
with fewer open intervales or glades than
you had imagined. Except the few burnt
lands, the narrow intervals on the rivers,
the bare tops of the high mountains, and
the lakes and streams, the forest is unn-
terrupted. 1t is even more grim and wild
than you had anticipated, damp and in
tricate wilderness, in the spring every
where wet and miry. The aspect of the
country, indeed, is universally stern and
savage, excepting the distant views of the
forest from hills, and the lake prospects
which are mild and civilizng in "a degree.
The lakes are something which you are
unprepared for; they lie up so high, ex-
posed to the light, and the forest is dimin-
ished to fine fringe on their edges, with
here and there blue mountain, like
amethyst jewels set around some jewel of
the first water,-so anterior, so superior, to
all the changes that are to take place on
their shores, oven now civil and refined,

TIE MUsTANG,-The mustang.

TIE MUsTANG.-The mustang, Ave
Californian horse, like tne Indians, ill
soon be numbered among the thing, of the
past. With all his defects, he HI quail
ties and points of rare value, that should
be preserved. He can thrive and subsist
where the American or English blood
would starve; is fleet and as sure-footed as
the mule, while his powers of endurance
in the harness or under the saddle are un-
equalled. lie is small of stature, but as
symmetrical as the Arabian wild by ma
ture and often vicious, but always spirited
and, with proper training and kind treat
ment, frequently exhibits all the affection
ate sensibilities of the best breeds. 1t is
no uncommon feat for him to carry good
ride one hundred miles in a day, and it is
claimed that many of them can go much
further in that time. We have seen speci-
mems that, at the age of sixteen, were as
gay and fiery as The best blooded five-year-
olds, and that would kill the most endur-
ing of them on a long or short journey.
AS saddle horses they are preferred by all
who know them best, as they are also for
ali light work. 1t has always seemed to
us surprising strange that no attempt has
ever yet been made in California, to pre-
serve the admirable qualities of this an
cient stock of horses in their purity. To
permit them to ignobly perish, as now
seems likely, would be as singular as I'M
fortunate. Whoever undertakes and sue
ceeds in bringing him up to a higher per-
fiction, or preserves his present merits,
will earn name and a fortune.-Signal,

THE ENGLISH COAL FAMINE.-The Eng
lishmen have reluctantly concluded that
they must do something more than rely
they are reaching out in every direction to
supply the deficiency. Parties are active
ly prospecting in all parts of Great Britain
for coal deposits which can be profitably
worked, and in addition to what they are
doing at home they are considering the
question of procuring coal from Canada
and Australia, and are talking about in
vestments in coal properties in Pennsyl-
vania and Virginia. The scarcity of coal
and increased prices are every day grow
ing more irksome and embarrassing to the
British industries, and hundreds of the
iron pudding furnaces in the north of
England will have TO stop work unless
they can get fuel cheaper or get more for
their iron. The miners are everywhere
clamoring for higher wages and will not
work but small fraction of the time at
any price. and it begins to look as though
large portion of the coal used in Great
Britain would have to come from this coun-
try. There is coal enough yet in the Eng
lish mines if 1t could only be gotten out,
but there are limitations TO the depth of
mining and in most of the larger mines
those limitations have been reached, or
nearly So The coal fields of China, said to
cover an area Of 400 coo square miles, have
attracted the attention of English capital
lists, and officers who have examined them
report the quality of coal all that could be
desired; but, as the Chinese government
is unwilling to have foreigners develop
those mines, there is no relief to be obtain
ed in that direction.

and fair as they can ever be. These are
not the artificial forests of an Engliah hi
"a royal preserve merely. Here vii
no forest laws but those of nature. Il Q alb
origines have never been dispossessel, nor
nature disforested.
1t is country full of evergreen trees, of
messy silver birches and watery naples,
the ground dotted with insipld, small red
berries, and strewn with damp and moss
grown rocks-a country diversified with
innumerable lakes and rapid streams, peo-
pied with trout and various species of
leucisci, with salmon, shad and pickerel,
and other fishes the forest resounding at
rare intervals with the note of the chicka-
dee, the blue-jay and the woodpecker, the
scream of the fish-hawk and the eagle, the
laugh of tho loon, and tho whistle of ducks
along the solitary streams; at night, with
the hootng of owls and bowling of wolves;
in summer, swarming with myriads of
black flies and mosquitoes, more formida-
Bile than wolves to tho white man. Such is
the home of the moose, the bear, The carl
bou, the WOLF the beaver and the Indian.
Who shall describe the inexpressible ten
derness and immortal life of the grim for
est, where nature, though it be midwinter,
is ever in her spring, where the mossgrown
and decaying trees are not old, but seem
to enjoy perpetual youthful. d. THoreau.

CHARACTER DETERMINED By Door
SHUTTrN GA correspondent of the Scien-
tifc American gives the following novel
manner for measuring mems characters
During the last ten years in the winter
season, according to our daily record, we
have noticed tho manner in which one
thousand persons who have called for work
have opened, shut, or not shut our store
door. This, you may say, is futile and
useless undertaking but we entertain a
very different opinion. What are the facts
and what the deductons2
1. Out of one thousand persons record
ed three hun bred and thirty-five opened
the door and shut ii carefully, when they
came in and when they went out, without
much noise;
2. Two hundred and twenty-six opened
1t in hurry, and made an attempt to shut
1t, but did not, and merely pulled il to
when they out.
8. Three hundred and two did not at
or going out.
4. Nnety-six left it open when they
came in, but when reminded of the fact
made ample apology and shut it when they
went out.
5. One hundred and two opened il in a
great hurry and slammed it violently, but
left it open when they went out.
9. Twenty came in with "How do you
do, sir?" or GOOD morning!" or "Good
evening sir r'-and all these went through
the operations of wiping their feet on the
mat, but did not shut the door when they
came in nor when they went out.
Remarks.-We have employed men out
of all these classes, and during that time
have had an opportunity of judging oftheir
merits, etc. The first class-of 335-were
those who knew their trade, and commence
ed and finished their work in a methodical
manner; were quiet, and had little to say
in their working hours, and were well APP
proved by those for whom they did the
work. They were punctual to the time,
and left nothing undone which they were
ordered to do. They did not complain
about trifies, and in all respects they were
reliable men, and were kind and obliging
in their general conduct.

HOUSE IN CALIFORNIA ONE TuoUS-
AND YEARS OLD.-The Hottest house, and
the most perfect in the matter of architect
ure 1 have ever seen, was that which
wood-chopper occupied with his family
one winter in the forests of Santa Cruz
County. 1t was the cavity of redwood
tree, two hundred and forty feet in height.
Fire had eaten away the trunk at the base,
until a circular room had been formed six
teen feet in diameter. At twenty feet or
more from the ground was a knot-hole,
which afforded ogress for the smoke. With
hammocks hung from pegs, and few
cooking utensils hung upon other pegs,
that house lacked no essential thing. This
woodman was in possession of house
which had been thousand years in proc
ess of building. Perhaps, on the very day
it was finished he came along and entered
in. How did all jack-knife and hand-saw
architecture sink into insiguifcance in
contrast with this house in the soltudes
of the great forest! Moreover, the tenant
Jared like prince. Within thirty yards
of his coniierous house mountain stream
went rushing past to the sea. In the swirls
and eddies under the shelving rocks, if one
could not land half-a-dozen trout within
an hour, he deserved TO go hungry as
penalty for his awkwardness. Now and
then deer came out into the openings,
and, at no great distance, quail, rabbits, and
pigeons could be found. What did this
man want more than Nature furnished
him? He had house with "cupola"
two hundred and forty feet high, and game
at the cost of taking it. This Arcadian
simplicity would have made lasting i'm
preston, but for volunteer remark, that
nothing could be added to give life more
perfect zest. "Well, yes" said he, 81 reck-
on. if you are going back TO town, you
might tell Jim to send me up gallon of
whisky, and some plug tobacco" 1t will
not do too invest a hollow tree with 10 much
of sentiment and poetry. If that message
had not been suggested, we should have
been under the delusion to this day that
the lives of those people, dwelling in
house fashioned thousand years ago,
were rounded to perfect fuilness, with
out one artificial. want.-Ouertand V)aN-

1t cannot be necessary to dwell at much
length upon figures which speak so plainly
as these. The aggregate product, it will be
noticed, has more than doubled. Massa-
chusetts, which in 1860 represented more
than one-h half the product of all New Eng
land, holds in 1870 nearly the same posi-
ton. Little Rhode Island, however, ex-
hibits more remarkable progress than any
of the other States, having nearly trebled
her product. We commend these tables to
the careful study of our readers.
May we not hope that this astonishing
increase In the material prosperity of the
country augurs something more and bet
ter than can be reckoned in dollars and
centsf With increase in material wealth,
and the relief from anxiety and uncertain
ty which such an increase bring, comes a
condition of mental repose which is favor
able to the highest development of society,
the ameioration Of existing evils and the
furtherence of morality. The increase is
partly the iaborer's and partly the capital
lists; with both it acts to remove causes of
discomfort and mutual dstrust. With
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1873-03-28

such an increase of wealth, also, schemes
of benevolence and philanthropy are
rendered possible which could not other
wise be undertaken. In short, with ma
terial prosperity comes contentmont; with
contentment comes readiness to appre-
bend rightly the duties of morality and re-
ligion-or rather of that deep, true religion
which includes all morality. We do not
half comprehend the import and sgnii-
canoe of the prosperity which an overrul-
ing Providence has given us, if we look no
further than the multiplication and increase
of mere material products.-Boston Jou1n-

CHIccoRY is said to contain properties
positively injurious to the health. Yet
ground coffee, as sold by grocers, is usually
adulterated with this substance, and many
persons insist that it improves the flavor of
the coffee. We are informed in recent
work on coffee that the coffee dealer adul-
terates his coffee with chiccory to increase
his profits; the chiccory dealer adulterates
his chiccory with Venetian-red TO please
the eye of the coffee dealer; and lastly. the
Venetian-red manufacturer grnds up his
color with brick-dust, that by his greater
cheapness, and the variety of shades he Of
fers, he may secure the patronage of the
trade in chccory!

until It becomes clear, then pour It off into
another bucket, and put the garment there
in, and let 1t be for twenty-four hours, and
then hang 1t up to dry without wringing ii.
Two of my party-a lady and gentleman
have worn garments thus treated in the
widest storms of wind and rain, without
getting wet. The rain hangs upon the cloth
in globules. In short, they were really wa
terproof The gentleman, fortnight ago,
walked nine miles in storm of rain and
wind, such as you rarely see in the South
and, when he slipped off his overcoat, his
underclothes were as dry as when he put
them on. This is, think, a secret worth
knowing; for cloth If 1t can be made to
keep out wet, is, in every way, better than
what we know as most waterproofs.

l..
Tho Southern sun is sinking
Beyond the blue-topped hills,
The last rays.grding downward
In little golden rills.
The birds are flying homeward
Upon the evening breeze,
And shadows softly settle
Around the forest trees.
One little angel sunbeam
Steals brightly through the door,
And trembles down in beauty
Upon the darksome floor.
II sees itself reflected
On baby's golden head,
Then ripples to the pillow
And dances on the bed.
II smiles tender welcome
Upon this childsof light
That steals in through the shadows
To kiss the boy "good night"
And rising bends above him,
Our precious baby one,
Who slumbers softly under
The kisses OF the sun.
His brow Is pure and pearly
As plume from angel wings;
And bright hair lies about it
In tiuy golden rings.
The still mouth, glowing crimson
Beneath the sunbeam's kiss,
Seems far too full Of sweetness
For such a world as this.
Two little hands, all dimpled,
Are tossed above HIS head,
And sleep his face is flushing
with faint peach blossom red.
Bright eyes, so like his mothers,
Beneath the blue-veined lid,
with long and curling lashes
Are from the sunshine hid.
God bless the boy and keep him
Safe through the wintry time,
For tho se who fondly love him
Far in the Northern cline.
For when the Southsrn summer
Comes with her golden charms,
His proud mamma shall place him
In dear grandmother's arms.
