For the oxford Democrat.


One great power rules the world, as 10
always has done-thc power OF labor.
For labor conquer' all things.
Everything VIC do has 70 have GER
tain amount of labor expended on it, to
bring it 10 a state OF perfection. How
ever difficult it may appear, however I'M
possible it may seem TO be. remember If
you attack it with energy, and labor with
all your might, your efforts viii be-
crowned with success
Inventive man, by the aid and appli-
cation Of labor, wins for himself a name
that will always be honored, respected,
aud remembered by his fellow-ci;ilens.
1t has been truly said, that no excel
lence is obtained without labor Few
persons conversant with the world, have
failed to discover that in the race Of life,
men of moderate means and attainments,
frequently outstrip competitors endowed
equally by the smiles of fortune and gifts
of genius.
Difference of talent has little 20 do with
it: the power of steady, unabated labor
excels all gifts of genius; and he who
would succeed in life, must labor con-
stantly. W. ID. PHNNEY.

THE Return FROM LEADvILE.

WHY is it" asks a correspondent,
"that if Leadville is as hard place as
YOU describe it, we never see any Of the
people who go there come back Oh,
well, that is easily enough explained.
When a young man sets out for Lead
vile he arrays himself conspicuously for a
day or two prior to his departure, then he
has the fact of his going and the train he
will take announced in the village paper,
and at the appointed time he goes rattlins
down to the depot in an open carriage
two hours before train time, and swaggers
up and down the platform while he waits,
and as the train goes off he leans out Of
the window and yells personal good-by
to everybody on the platform. But when
he comes back he times his return so as
to strike his native town by back road,
after dark, then he sneaks home through
the alleys, climbs over the back fence,
taps at the kitchen window and begs, un-
der his breath, to be let in, and when be-
gets in he stays in bed three or four days,
while his new clothes are being made and
the doctor is trying to count the blisters
on his feet. Oh, it is easy to explain
why we never see them come back: but
they do come back all the same.-Hark-

\ SPRING RAMBLE.

Yesterday afternoon my brother and |
wentout northwest Of this city for aramble
in the fields and woods. Not far from
the Western Whitewater, which is a res
crvoir of the Erie canal, we took the
track of the Charlotte railroad and went
north until we crossed deep, open stone
culvcrt where a brook flowing east runs
under the track. Near there, on a green,
grassy slope beside the stream, we sat
down and watched a number of wasps
that were fying about large fiat stone
that lay on top of wall that rose from
the edge of the water | think they
Were building themselves houses in the
the dry sheltered recess under the big
stone, but cannot say positively, as the
