A Mystery.

The river, hommed with leaning trees,
Wound through its meadows green
A low, blue line OF mountains showed
The open pines between.
One sharp, tall peak above thon, all
Clear into sunlight sprang:.
saw the river Of my lreams,
Tho mountains that I sang!
No clue OF memory led mo on,
But we'll tho ways knew;
A feeling Of familiar things
With every footstep grew.
Not otherwise abovo its crag
Could lean the blasted pfnS3;as'
Not otherwise the maple hold
Aloft its red ensign.
So up the long aud shorn foot hills
The mountain road should creep:
So, Sroen and low, the meadow fold
Its rcd-haircd kino asleep.
The river wound al it should wind;
Their place the mounts ms took;
The white. torn fringes Of their. clouds
Wore NO anwontea loek.
Yet ne'er before that rivers rim
Wal, pressed by feet OF mine;
Never before mine eyes had crossed
That broken mountain line.
A presence, strange At once and known,
Walked with me as my guide;
The skirts OF some forgotten life
Trailed noiseless at my side.
Was it aforementioned dream?
Or glimpse through nons old?
The secret which the mountains kept,
The river never told.
But from the vision, ere it passed,
A tender hope drew,
And, pleasant a. dawn Of Spring,
The thought within me CREW.
That levo would temper every change,
Aud soften al surprise,
Aud, misty with the dreams OF earth,
The hills Of heaven arise.

Effects OF the COld-l.ake Champlain
Frozen Over.
From the Troy Times, Jan. :.


Lake Champlain at its widest part,
opposite Burlington, where the width
is ten miles, is frozen over. This is
the earliest date at which the broad
lake has ever been known to freeze
over. From table of the dates of the
freezing over of the lake for fifty seven
years past, We find that but four times
in that period has the lake closed ear
lier than January Is. The earliestdate
of the closing over of the ice is January
Z, in 1867. The latest time of the
freezing of the broad lake ON record, Is
March 4. Three or four winters in the
last fifty eight years, the lake has not
been closed by ice at all. It has never
closed in December before within the
memory of the oldest lnhabitant. The
average time of closing is tue last week
in January, and the average duration
of the ice is two months.

Why silver Is % Cheap.

i = - Af-gcAE
Silver has been so long out Of
practical use as circulating medium
in this country that a great deal of
wonder has been expressed that IN
the midst of, the recent panic. e
should have been found SO abundant
and cheap. A few facts concerning
the supply and consumption Of silver
will explain what seems to be re-
markable. 1t is 3 well known fact
that India is the point Of Ultimate
absorption for both gold and silver
coin. The vast population Of that
immense realm attracts and absorbs
a certain quantity Of specie each
year, which, being reeoined, never
gets out into the circulation Of tae
world again Moneyed men in Eu-
rope understand the exact extent of
TINS drain and provide for it. Dur
lng the past year Germany, being
Hooded with specie from the French
Indemnity payments, has demone-
tized silver, that is, deprived it Of
current value es German coin. This
has thrown into market a great
quantity of silver, more than enough
70 fill the demand Of India so that
the ordidaFy drain upon the United
States-the usual source Of supply
for ali the worlds for this year at
least cut of. At the same time the
product Of our mines has trebled, sill
yer bullion is piled up shout the
mines Of Utah, Colorado and Nevada
literally in cords, where it can be
bought by the car load at eighty
cents currency per standard ounce,
or about ninety-eight cents to the
dollar, leaving two cents for the cost
Of transportation and coinage and
still keeping the cost of a silver dol
lar within the par value Of green
back one. At the same time Ameri-
cans have focked to the mines Of
Mexico, and by their superior ener-
gy and enterprise and the use Of i'm
proved methods in mining and refin-
ing have raised the silver product Of
Mexico to $20,O00,000 q year, more
than the production Of the most
prosperous years under the oldSpan-
isR proprietors. The consequence
is, that the markets Of this country
are fairly glutted with silver, mostly
ia the form of bullion. The arts and
manufactures use enormous quanti-
ties, but with all their activity they
can use only about 20 per cent Of
the product, leaving so per cent to
be stored or shipped in other coun-
tries. Now that the foreign demand
has been suspended for time, the
treasury has only to set all the mints
to work, and within three months
the country can have ahard money
TO its hearts content. The amount
now on hand, added to six months,
product of the mines, would, if
coined, load down the pockets Of the
nation. But who wants silver when
they can get greenbacks?
