A Famous Mountain.

Within few miles Of the city Of
Juuaghar (more properly Junagarh)
there rises one OF the most famous
mountains in the world, though many
of my readers may never have heard
of it before. 1t is Girnar, or the Lord
of Mountains, it is also called the Sin
Destroying Mount, and by many other
similar names. High up Oh its first
peak, above Il stupendous preciplce,
AID ut a height Of nearly 5000 feet,
there is a series of magnificent and
beautiful temples sacred to the relig-
ion OF the Jains--a corrupt form OF
Buddhism and one of which contains
their famous perSplrlng statue. On
the summit Of that peak there Is
temple containing a most ancient aud
sacred Hindoo image, or, rather,
stone, the Amba Mata, or Mother OF
Gods. The peaks beyond have sacred
shrlnes, to which hundreds Of thous-
ands Of pilgrims yearly ascend, Hun
dreds of naked devotees, besmeared
with paint or ashes, are scattered over
this mountain, exposing themselves
to almost incredible hardships. Its
last peak, the Dread Mother, stunned
by pilgrims, is sacred to Kali or Dur
ga, the blood stained spouse Of LSlva
the Destroyer and that peak, with
the jungle at its base, is invested by
the worst OF all devotees -Agnoras,
who live on carron and human flesh,
and shun the face of mankind

a few minutes and they will appear
full of faces and figures, fantastic per-

A Gate Story.

and the old gate scarcely creaked as 1t
swung to and fro beneath her light
weight, ard the silent stars looked
down with tenderer glances, and all
South Hill seemed to hold its breath
to listen. Serena, sweet" he said,
and the radiant bushes that kindled
over the pearly brow and cheeks soft
ened the silent lovelight in her lustrous
eyes, "Serena, my own, ii every gilt

passing breeze that stops to kiss thy
glowing checks, if every rustling Leaf

stilfiy, that no gentleman who could
use such language in the presence OF a
lady was an acquaintance of hers, and
she went into the house. And he
pushed the gate open and pulled his
mangled thumb out OF the crack OF 1t,
and went down the street sucking the
injured member and declaring that,

The farmer is independent. He
can stay on his farm from one years
end to the other and raise all he needs
to sustain life and be under Obligations
to no one. He can have the pleasure
of feeling that on the fruits of his toll
depend the nations strength and pros
perity. He truly earns his bread by
the sweat OF his brow, and unless he
is bald d-headed, he seldom has brow in
proportion to the sweat.
Nearly all our great men were rails
ed on farm, and it is their especial
delight in all their speeches TO men
ton the fact, and remention it, and
afterwards allude to it, and tell how
happy they were, and how they love
the old place with its old farm house,
and how they look back on their boy
hood days and wish they had never
left the farm, and long now to return
to it and pass the remainder Of their
days, and resign $4,000 office and
settle down and be happy again

POETRY,
When You're Down.

What legions Of friends" always bless us
When golden success lights our way
How they smile as they softly address us,
So cordial, good-humored and gay.
But all. when the sun Of prosperity
Hath set, then how quickly they frown,
And cry out, in tones of severity,
"Kick the man don't yon SEQ he is down
What, though when you know not sorrow,
Though your heart was as open as day,
And your Friends" when they wanted te
borrow,
You obliged, and ne 'er asked them to pay.
What though not soul you e'er slighted,
AS you wander about through the town,
Your friends" become very neal. sighted.
And don't seem to see when you're down.
When you are up" you are loudly exalted,
And traders all sing out your praise;
When you're down" you have greatly default.
ed,
And they 'really don't fancy your ways"
Your style was "tip-top" when you'd money,
So sings every sucker and clown,
But now, It's exceedingly funny,
Things are altered because you are down.
Oh, give me the heart that for ever
1s free from this worlds selfish rust,
And the soul, whose high, noble endeavor
Is to raise fallen men from the dust.
And when in adversitys ocean
A victim is likely to drown
All hail to the friends whose devotion
Will lit up man when he's down.

The Giants CauseWay.

Nothing | have ever seen in Nature
can equal the perfect finish of the
Causeway. Itis difficult to believe
that the hand of man has not fashion
ed it. Pillar on pillar, smooth, per-
feet hexagons, climb up and down
where you will upon it, aud the same
perfection of shape meets your eyes.
One group of pillars has been called
the Fan, since it has assumed that
shape. The columns as rule are
about four feet in length, and rise one
above another so regularly that the
tops on some form seats, and those
form backs to them, and so on from
the lowest to the highest. 1t is al
most impossible to describe the beauty
of the place you have to stand first

FARMING.
FEW IDEAS ON THE SUBJECT, GOT
TOGETHER WITH \ COARSE HARROW.

AS near as | can crawl up to the
facts in the case, Adam was the first
farmer | have given this subject a
large pile Of thought, but l cannot
find any reliable person, who wants to
give bonds that he can name a man
who tried to earn dollarby farming
before Adam struck in.
| consider that Adam, | forgot his
other name, started in on his career
under very favorable auspices. Adam
had his garden all planted and the
things up before he rented it. All he
had to do was to just 60 right in and
occupy.
He had no competition. He could
put any price he pleased on his gar
den truck, and not lie awake nights
and worry because somebody might
undelsel him. He could charge
twent, five cents box for strawber.
ries, and if his customers didn't like it
he could tip his hat over his ear and
intimate that If they didn't like his
berries at that price they could refresh
their stomachs on dried apple.
He had to take no ones advice as
to how he should plant his stuff, or
when he should hoe it. If he wanted
to plant his dried pumpkins in the
same Lii with his baked beans he did
not have to read through an agrlcult,
ural paper, to see what some editor
who never saw farm had to say
about it. His Post Office box was
not filled with circulars, advertising
fertilizers and patent dressings, fol
raising salad and mixed pickles.
All Adam, if you were here now,
and had to take all the advice that the
farmer OF to day does, you would wish
yourself back in the garden of Eden
putting in your winter rye.
Then Adam had splendid wife.
1t is not Every man that can gel
such a woman. | know there is 9
good deal of fault found with Eve, but
she certainly was the best woman ir
the world when Adam married her
and shall stand up for her as long
as l have legs. Eve didn't have any
great amount of clothes. She didn't
worry herself what she should weal
to church, or have to run and fix her
selfup when she had callers.

From the Philadelphia Times lind
There would be an eminent fitness in call
ing Grant to represent our government at the
court of the mother country, and his accept
ance of it would be entirely consistent with
the dignity due to the eminent positions he
has held. The man who has reached the
highest rank ever reached in the army by his
own achievements, and has been twice chosen
to the highest civil trust of the government,
should not be sent into retirement. President
Hayes would honor his administration and
honor the country by promptly rendering the
mission to Grant. He would be honored
abroad as has been no American Minister in
the past, and the homage paid to him would
be reflected upon the country and its lrstifu-
