WHERE THE MOHAWK GENTLY
GLIpEs.-Our valued and very pop
ular fellow citizen Mr.. l.. ID. (famil-
iaraly called "Tote," Noyes, left last
evening per railroad for his boyhood
home IN Fonda, Montgomery county,
New York, to be absent about two
months. He first goes to California
and then East. Mr. Noyes has lived
i'm our midst for the past fifteen years
and on the Pacific Coast twenty-five.
In all that time he has never once
visited the old roof-tree where to day
lives his father and mother, now
waiting patiently in the dim gold OF
life for the final summons. We do
not wonder that old memories of boy
hood come flooding and trcoping
into "Tote's" heart as he speaks
of going home TO visit the scene of
his baby days. Twenty-Five years!
and when he LETT the old Mohawk
hearthstone u beardless boy, the
creeks OF his pin.hook fishing days
were rivers to him; the muddy lit
tie pond was u fathomless ocean; the
dwaried tee was banyan shade,
and the little town OF Fonda was to
him the metropolis OF the world.
Alas! that the VISION of merry boy
hood fades away in the stern reality
of maturer years! Grim, inevitable
Tine has been deity working frost
xyraathS in fhp oprp brown locks of
our friend, AMI with the passing
years has hlrrowed the ruddy cheeks
with many rut. Bodies anu
brains may grow old and tired, but
the heart is always young. 1t Is SO
with our good friend Tote" and
he who cannot moisteu the eyes in
farewell to such FREUD under such
circumstances desires not we'll OF lifes
pleasures.

"TAKE 1T AwAYl"-The Virginia

eighteen years of age, marked Miss

A LONE TREE.
"rha, erows on mountain blcsh -

The last Of anything in our posses.
sion. whether il be valuable or not,
is dearer to us than all which has
proceeded it. The last ray Of the
sinking sun seems to paint the
heavens in the brightest OF colors.
The last star that dies away with
the irowns OF night is lovelier than
its companions. and the last rose or
blue-eyed violet seems. in its van
ishing beauty. TO mutely appeal to
our sympathies for tear of regret.
These thoughts were brought to
mind in gazing upon one Of the
oldest relics of thisscountry. 1t is
situated q short distance above that
singular geological formation called
thesDevil's Gate---and is the only tree
now standing in this section which
welcomed WITH its nodding head the
train of eager wealth seekers that
first populated this State. We
fear its days Of beauty and useful
ness will soon be over, as the waste
dump Of the Niagara mine, near
which it is growing. will obliterate
it forever from sight. and in this
death there appears to be some of
the eternal fitness of things; for
though its roots may nestle among
silver-bearing ore. its head sur
rounded by the sterile hills. will
day by day be shut out from the
sunlight and finally be forever
excluded from the sight of all, and
die midst the barren rock that first
nurished its budding life. This
poor lone tree carries ones
thoughts back into the early days
when the firm steps of the pioneer
was marked by that Of the silent
and revengeful Piute. when his
breast was the only shield that pro-
tected those he loved, and his
strong arm with the pick and
shovel, the only implements
with which to extract the precious
metal from the rugged bosom OF
mother earth. One by one these
old landmarks are passing away.
The hills once crowned by many
,edars bowling to the rising sun,
and bathed in the glory of its set
ting rays, are sharing the fate OF the
palms of tue Holy Land. which
once shaded the weary pilgrim, bur
like their prayers live now only in
memory. We wish 1t might be spar
ed, tor the associations IL carries with
il from the buried past hioIusios all
that was brave and generous In man
aud many u rvcoi ,ec;ion where the
love of womau's heart seemed almost
divine. We will Know thar many
