HE STRUCK 1T RICK.

There is one thing that cannot be i'm
pressed too strongly upon the minds Of
those of moderate means, who, IN the
crowds of millionaires in the great mon
ey centers of the older sections of the
country, are almost if not completely
barred from operations yielding large
profits. and that is the fact that the San
Juan country is as yet hardly in the
first stages of development. Almost
everything accomplished thus far has
been the work of preparation-the max
ing the country accessible-and secur-
ing such mechanical facilities as would
insure realizing from the ore after its
dislogment from the mountains. In 60
ing over the details of the jaunt through
the mining districts, it cannot but be
noted that the proportion of the mines
opened to depth of one hundred feet
and upward to those opened to less
depth is very small, hardly one in fifty,
while the proportion of mines but bari
ly prospected Is very much greater !;
hence the field actually explored COM
pared to that merely skinned over is
really nothing. while of the country not
even prospected, it may truly be said
there are oceans of it There is abso-
lutely no limit, at least for generations
to come, to the mineral wealth of the
San Juan and just now, with the diff
ferent districts opened up by roads
where year ago there was not even a
trail, with the increased transportation
both by rail and wagon, and, above all,
the certainty of the free coiange of sill
yer and its consequent standard value
in the country, opportunities without
number are offered whereby moderate
amount Of money will suffice for returns
that ordinarily would not result from
the investment of fortunes. The exist
ence Of the mineral is as certain as the
demonstration of any fact can make it
certain. The place of its deposit can be
ascertained readily and with certainty
and whether in paying quantities or not,
may be settled beyond peradventure.
Nothing can possibly be more erron-
eous than the impression in the minds
of some people that there are great risks
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1878-04-29

in investing capital in mines. The
causes leading to such an impression
are always to be traced to some swindle
with an imaginary or planted mine as
the ostensible bait, but the only real
basis upon which the scheme is worked
up is the gullibility Of those who 60
into it pretty much as those who snap
at the counterfeiter's advertisement to
sell 81 900 for SIS. The result is the
same in both instances. The safe way
to invest in mines is as in anything
else: first see, and, if satisfied, buy.
That an immense amount of money has
been lost in mining schemes, in the per-
feet folly of giving some young fellow,
who never saw mine, a mint of money
to 60 and buy it with, in falling blindly
into the mining traps set by sinful
schemers, and in hundred other ways,
is as true as it is that many of the
greatest fortunes of the age have been
made by men of moderate means, and in
more than one instance by the humblest
miners working at day wages. Jerome
| B. Chaffee, U. S. Senator, and one of
the richest men in Colorado, is an ex-
emplifcation of the fact that fortunes
are as liable to fall to the miner as to
the mine-owner and round dozen
other almost as wealthy men as Mr..
Chafee might be named in this State
who, as military man would say, have
risen from the rank and file. In the
San Juan country, as everywhere else,
much, if not all, depends upon the
mettle of man. and those anticipating
the realization here of an entirely New
Jerusalem, wherein they have to but
gather gold, with which the streets are
paved, had better remain at home, for
certainly in their case, the bliss of ig-
norance would be far preferable to the
folly of becoming wise.-7He Rocky

SONG BIRDS OF THE WEST.

The wild western portion Of our coun-
try is as well supplied with feathered
songsters as the more civilized eastern
section, and that in secluded dell or on
dreary desert, where seldom heard by
human ear, they nevertheless sing as
gayly and with as much enthusiasm as
solely for the entertainment of us vain
beings, who, in our conceit, are apt to
imagine that all that is beautiful IN ma
ture was created simply for our amuse-
MENU
The principal songsters of the West
are not in all cases those of any partic-
ular locality, for the mountain forests,
the desert valleys, and the rocky canons
have alike their own characteristic
species, and it is difficult to decide in
which those most entitled to the first
rank are found. The more fertile val
leys ring with the loud, clear song of
the Western lark and the passionate
trills of the lark-sparrow the dreary
sage-brush wastes are rendered less In
hospitable by the tender, soothing chants
of several sparrows among the cotton
woods in the river valleys are heard the
mellow warbling of the black headed
grossbeak, the meandering chant of the
house-fnch, and the merry gable of
the woodwren while on the mountains
the pine forests and the varied shrub
berry of the canons resound with the
lively ditty of the Louisiana tanager
and the silverY harmony of the thrushes.
Of the latter, most of the species, except
those of the southern border, are com.
mon also to the East but as they are
nevertheless conspicuous among Western
songsters by reason of the melody of
their notes. they deserve a prominent
place.-Harper's Magazine for May.

punish those who forget SO easily, his
successor has never woke the world with
great deeds. Residents of the State, of
course, know best as to the fitness of
their three representatives for the places
they occupy. If they have ability and
integrity, | say give them show and
keep them there. not only till they learn
their duties and begin to succeed in
doing them well, but until they fail to
do them. If they are only common
place men, waste no more time but hunt
for better material and fill their places.
A regret of my life will be that Benja-
min Steele was not spared to represent
Vermont in Congress. He would have
been an honor to Vermont.
Judge Adds, of st. Albans, is still in
Washington, engaged with the business
Of the Southern Claims Commission, of
which he is Chairman. He has deli
cate work to do, but he is eminently well
fitted for his place, having had large
experience as lawyer both at the bar
and on the bench, and an extensive
knowledge of men. Mrs. Adds is in a
measure cut off from society, on account
of deafness, and the Judges attention to
her is very beautiful to see, and its
rarity adds to the charm.
Vermont has the honor to furnish the
White House with physician in the
person of DR.. Jed Baxter, Chief Pur-
veyor of the Army. He is son of
Hon. Portus Baxter. deceased. Mrs.
Baxter, the honored wife of Portus
Baxter, resides with her son. She is
in feeble health. and there are loving
hearts all over the country, which dread
to hear from her lest it be sad news.
Fifteen years ago, her influence sent a
soldier to Vermont to see his friends. II
was his first furlough, and lasted only
seven days, but they were seven happy
be-forgotten days. On the four
teenth of March he returned to duty OIL
the first of April seven rebel bullets seal
ed with blood furlough no mortal could
countermand. With hearts too heavy
for tears we laid him to rest. Wha
wonder if side by side with our burdens
of grief, we carry deep and earnest graf
itude to the woman, but for whom, We
might have plead in vain for the few
days of happiness, before the dark shad
ow fell upon our lives. TRUFAx.

AN OLD STORY OF LORENZO DOW
RETOLD BY AN ENGLISH
WRITER

Some of the American preachers of
the past have delivered sermons more
startling than edifying, and have con-
descended to singular tricks to arrest
and take the attention of the audience.
Lorenzo Dow. one Of these preachers. it
is said, was on his way to preach in
South Carolina, under a large spruce
tree, when he overlook colored lad
who was blowing long tin horn, and
could send forth blast with rise and
swell and cadence, which walked the
distant hills. Calling aside the blower,
Dow said to him:
whats your name, sir p
"My name-Gabriel. sir" said the
brother in ebony.
"Well, Gabriel. have you been to
Church Hill 2"
"Yes, massa. Use been dar many
time
"Do you remember big spruce pine
tree on that hill %
"Oh, yes, massa, I knows dat pine"
"Did you know that Lorenzo Dow
had an appointment to preach under
that tree tomorrow %
"Oh, yes, massa, everybody knows
that"
"Well, Gabriel, [ am Lorenzo Dow,
and if you'll take your horn and go to-
morrow morning, and climb up into
that pine tree and hide yourself among
the branches before the people begin to
gather, and wait there till l call your
name, and then blow such blast with
your horn as l heard you blow minute
ago, I'll give you dollar. Will you
do it, Gabriel %
"Yes, massa, | takes that dollar.
Gabriel, like Zaccheus, was hid away
in the tree-top in due time. An i'm
mense concourse of persons, of all sizes
and colors assembled at the appointed
hour, and Dow preached on the judg-
ment of the last day. By his power of
description he wrought. the multitude
up to the opening of the scenes of the
resurrection and grand assize, at the call
of the trumpet peals, which were to
wake the sleeping nations. Then, .
said he. suppose, my dying friends,
that this should be the hour. Suppose
you should hear at this moment the
sound of Gabriel's trumpet p Sure
enough est ti.at 1.ae.Aeat tLv tn uulP vf o-
briel sounded.
The women shrieked, and many faint
ed the men sprang up and stood aghast,
some ran, others fell and cried for mer-
cy and all felt for time the judgment
was set and the books were opened.
Dow stood and watched the drifting
storm till the fright abated, and some
one discovered the colored angel who
had caused the alarm, quietly perched
on limb of the old spruce, and wanted
to get him down to whip him, and ther
resumed his theme saying: IL forbid
all persons present from touching that
boy up there. If a colored boy with
a tin horn can frighten you almost out
of your wits, what will ye do when you
shall hear the trumpet thunder of the
archangel How will you be able to
stand in the great day of the wrath Of
God ?'-NeaO Quarterly Magazine.

The tramp is man who can be ap-
preached by no motive but paln.-the
pain of thrashing or the pain of hunger.
He hates work; he has no self-respect
and no shame, and by counting himself
permanently out of the productive and
self-supporting forces of society, he counts
himself out of his rights. He has no
rights but those which society may see
fit, of his grace, to bestow upon him.
He has no more rights than the sow
which wallows in the gutter, or the lost
dogs that hover around the city squares.
He is no more to be consulted IN his
wishes or his will in the settlement of
the question as to what is to be done
with him than if he were a bullock or
in corral. Legislation concerning this
evil seems to have been initiated in va
rious States, but at this writing we can
not learn that anything effective has
been done. 1t would be well if the
states could work 10 concert in this
matter.-Dr. Holland

THE BLOT ON THE PAGE.

Upon my desk, one winter day,
spotless sheet of paper lay.
On whose clear surface was fain
To trace some travail of my brain
In lines of subtitle flow.
labored with exceeding care
To make the margins broad and fair,
And trembled lest the ink should fly,
For underneath my lady's eye
The lines at morn must go.
The day was young when begun:
At twilight scarce my work was done,
And when the evening lamp was brought
looked upon what l had wrought;
But ahl with grievous rage
The joy-beats Of my heart were quelled,
For by the lamp-light beheld
A Blot upon the PageI
A hideous blot whose sable stain
Made all my days long labor vain.
Twas true, another could WRITE
But had l strength enough tonight,
For morn must see it part?
And there was doubt within my mind
If l a second sheet could find
As fair as this in all my store.
Whereon afresh my thoughts to pour
To her who held my heart.
Then as 1 searched, alas methought,
'Tis thus in vain, too oft, are wrought
Our records on the page Of hfel
To keep it spotless in the strife,
A struggle long we wage:

And think our labor surely done;
But, when the lamp of Truth is brought,
Lol mid the work so deity wrought

MAY.
By JOHN VANCE CHENEY.

When beeches brighten early May.
And young grass shines along her way;
When April willows meet the breeze
Like softest dawn among the trees;
When smell Of Spring fills the air,
And meadows bloom. and blue-birds pair;
When Love first bares her sunny head
Over the brook and lily-bed;
Nothing of sound or sight to grieve
From choiring morn to quiet eve,-
My heart will not, for all its ease,
Forget the days to follow these.
This loveliness shall be betrayed,
This happiest Of music played
From field to field. by stream and bough,
The silent launch of thistles sail
Adown the solitary vale:
That blue solicitude OF sky
Bent over beauty doomed to die,
With nightly mist shall witness here
The yielding glory OF the year.

Patrick and Henry Reilly. who went
over Niagara falls some days ago, were
experienced boatmen of the neighbor-
hood. They owe their destruction to
drunkenness. 1t is customary to cross
the Niagara river above the falls, from
Niagara village to point higher up on
the Canada side, IN small boats. In do
ing so the oarsman first rows up stream
along the American shore, SO that. when
he turns into the powerful current that
sweeps toward the Canadian fall, the
boat can be impelled across the river be-
fore being carried periously far down.
The undertaking is dangerous at best,
and the Reillys were drunk when they
started from the village. They headed
their boat directly across the river. and
were almost Immediately in the power
of the current. They kept rowing un-
til the boat capsized on the brink of the
waterfall, some think because they were
too drunk to know where they were,
while others suppose that. finding them
selves powerless to stem the current,
they took the vague chance of reaching
shore in the smooth water below the
reefs.

A RELIABLE MAN WANTED.

"a reliable man wanted to take
charge of a farm''-"A reliable man
wanted in counting house re-
liable man wanted to superintend a
mill'-"A reliable man as teller in
ban" the advertisements read.
What demand there is for reliable
men Young women want them for hus-
bands; fathers and mothers want them
for sons-in-law. People in trouble in
quire anxiously for reliable lawyer
whom they can consult; the sick want
reliable physician the churches want a
reliable man for minister, although
they do not advertise their want in a
newspaper.
There seems to be no end to the de-
mands for reliable men. Are reliable
men SO scarce that so much point is made
of getting them
We apprehend they are not near as
plenty as they should be. Reliable ar
chitects and contractors and engineers
are not to be found in every place, or
there would not be SO many railway and
bridge accidents; cashiers and other
bank officers are not always reliable. or
there would be no defalcations. The
same may be said of trustees or insur-
ance officers. In truth, reliable men do
not crowd one another in class or occu-
patton.
Young men, it is for you to determine
whether you will be reliable man or
not. 1t all depends upon yourself.
Nothing is easier, only resolve that you
will be reliable man, and stick to
it through every temptation.
There has been some criticism on the
word reliable as not being good English.
But the word will answer very well, if
we can only have the quality which it
describes.-N. 7. Ledger.
