Oi1r rnasrnS Df rest are 50 short that many
hard workers have forgotten how to enjoy
them. TO sit down Is TO break down, to rest
Is to die, Indulgence Is, in one respect, like
indulgence in strong drink. Having got into
it you must go on. Otherwise there come
morbid and painful experiences. There are
those who tell you that once they could be
moderately happy when resting; now they
dare rest no more. They may try TO make
work less urgent less feverish; but it will
not do to stand still. They are kept sane and
serviceabe only by giving the mind perpetual
occupation. Every ono remembers how Luther
said, II rush out among my pigs rather than
sit still and do nothing" 1t is sad, but
it is true that human beings not much
like Luther in any other characteristic are
Like him in this, that they dare not have q

T'he Romance of Accident.

The discovery of gold in Nevada was 1aade
by some Mormon immigrants in 1850. Ad-
venttlrers crossed the SierrAs and set up their
sl,ce-boyeS in the canyons; but it was gold
thcy were after, and they never suspected the
existence Of silver, nor knew it when they
SAW it. The blush stuff which was SO abund-
ant, and which WAS silver ore, intelfered with
their operations and gave them the greatest
annoyance. Two Obrothers named GrOsCh pos
scssed more Intelligence than their fellow
workers, and were the real dSCoVerers Of the
Comstuck lode; but one of them died from 81
picax wound in the foot, and the other was
frozen to death in the mountains. Their Sc
cret died with them. When Mt last, in the
early part Of 1850, the surface groupings Of
the lode were found. they were worked for the
gold they contained, and the silver WIS
thrown out as being worthless. Yet this lode
since 1860 hnS yielded n large proportion of
all the silver produced throughout the world.
The silver mines Of Potosi were discovered
through the trivial circumstance Of an Indian
accidentally pulling up shrub to the roots
Of which were attached some particles OF the
precious metal.
A cooper in CarnioIa having one evening
placed q new tub under q cropping spring, in
order to try II it would hold water, when he
came in the morning found 1t 50 heavy that
he could hardly move it. At first the super
stitiOls notions that are apt to possess the
minds of the ignorant made him suspect that
his tub was bcwitched; but at last, pereeiving
shining fluid ut the bottom, he went to Lau-
bach and showed it to an apothecary, who
Immediately dismissed him with small grar
tuty, and babe him bring some more Of the
same stuff whenever he could meet with it,
This tho poor cooper frequently did being
highly pleased with his good fortune; till at
length, the affair being made public, several
persons formed themselves into society In
order to search further into the quicksilver
deposits thus SO unex xpectedly discovered, and
which were destined to become the richest oi
their kind in Europe.

THE INTERIOR OF GREENLAND.
Successful Penetration by Two Danes INTO
the Hnferlnr from the west Coast.

Many attempts have been made, says the
London Times, to penetrate into the interior
of Greenland from the west coast but, until
gentlemen, Messrs. Jensen ,Kornerup and
Groth, under the direction Of the commission
for scientific exploration in the Danish colony,
started to explore and survey the coast De-
tween Godhaab and Frederikshaab. Lieut..
Jensen took advantage of the opportunity to
make an excursion into the interior over the
ice. The aim was to reach several mountain
peaks rising out Of the ice. The baggage was
placed in three small sledges OF the travellers
own, and the toilsome journey commenced on
July Il. After two days the loose snow accu-
mulated on the surface of the ice to such an
