A Hot Mine.

The Savage incliner point near the
water. is so hot as to be almost beyond
human endurance. But for their shirts
the skin Of the men would be blistered as
though by a jet of scalding steam. A
man from the mine recently showed q
blister on his arm that was nearly as
large as a mans hand. This blister was
caused by exposing his arm at the bot
tom Of the incline. It is so hot down at
the water that in screwiDg a nut on the
end of bolt one man would be able 70
do no more than fasten a nkey-wrench
upon it before he would be obliged 70 re-
treat. Another would then descend and
give the wrench two or three turns, when
he would fall back, and third man
would 90 down and give it a few turns
Yesterday morning the giraffe got
of the truck well down on the incline,
and in trying to replace it one of a small
party of men was so overcome by the
heat that he fell down in a state Of in
sensibility His companions carried him
from point between the 700 and the
l 900 foot levels TO the 300 foot level OF
the Hale and NoTcrOss mine, where he
could obtain mouthful of fresh air. He
was still unconscious when he reached
the point named Virginia City LHtes-
prize.

LEAVE ALL AND FOLLOW ME-"

Leave all and follow TheeI o blessed Lord,
Fain would leave the cares and tolls Of life,
I he ceaseleSs worry, and the endless strife
Zen the seant joys my earthly days afford
1t were pleasant task to follow Thee
Up to the heights of Heavenly calm and peace,
Where pain and discomfort forever cease,
And all from grief and sOrTOw are Il free
But, Lord, Thou once did'st say if we would tread
The narrow path, we too must bear g cross,
And serve Thee well, counting all else as drOss,
Remembering, when sad, how Thy heart bled.
1t is by doing that which we shculd do,
We follow along the blessed way.
Thou bid st US all work well while yet tits day
And not the smallest duty to eschew.
We cannot serve Thee well through idle DAYS,
Fen though hearts be filed with love and prayer:
Labor is worship'-We must do our share,
And do it faithfully, to meet Thy praise.
Leave all and follow Thee! Yea, all the sin,
And all the paths which lead aw-y from Thee;
But from our labor we shall not be free
Until our harvest-sheaves to Thee we bring.
And, nothing 10th, I turn my eyes away
From far-oH heights which know not toll or care.
Duties well done Thou dOst accept as prayer:
In Thine own mansions we shall rest some day.
Faith Walton.

The Southern Mail to Havana.

If the arrangements now maturing for
q through Southern mail to Havana are
completed, the New York mail will run
down to Cedar Keys, thence by steam
ship to Key West, thence for the ocean
postage by steamship to Havana. The
postoffice department has received a
dispatch from D. L. Yulee, President of
the Atlantic, Gulf & West India rail-
road, at Fernandina, saying that a fast
and continuous train can be arranged to
Cedar Keys twice weekly, for the Kew
West and Havana mail, whenever de-
sired by the department. Assistant
Postmaster General Brady has sent word
that when the railroad schedule of the
lower end of the line is brought up in
speed the proposition will be favorsblv
considered. The change will make a
gain of twenty-five hours and it is
thought will divert a portion of the
western mails for Havana, now going by
the way of New Orleans.
