Live your own life, think your own thoughts.
Have a crown and realm Of your own,
And reign supreme, king queen.
Though minus sceptre or throne.
DO your own work In your own best way,
Though gossips smile or frown,
However you do II they will say their say
II you stoop you may drop your crown.
Walk in the path your feet love best.
But be sure II leads TO the light;
And submit each act to the three-fold test.
"Is it pure, and Just, and right?'
Guard the pearls Of your heart with misers care.
For trampled once in the street
No washing can make them TO you seem fair,
Or again for your casket meet.
When bowed with grief beihlnk your friend
Has heart than yours more sad,
And interest from the love you lend
VIII make your own life glad.
We know there is need in the world for work,
But need the same for pay
Should we do the one. the other shirk,
Wen give account some day.
Respect all things for naught Ia vain
Unless 1t be untrue.
Regard the song which haunts your brain
As friend that's sent to you.

Down the corridors of time.
Yes, write your songs, but begin not strain,
Which II called from the world Of men
You might not take where II broke in twain
And finish with angel pen.

II Is not nt the hour Of death,
While mourning DER the parting breath;
II Ia not while we look our last,
The present all-forgot the past;
II Is not while we watch the eye
Closing with deaths last quvering sigh
We feel our loss.
II Il not when we gently lay
The loved remains In deaths array;
II Is not while with noseless tread
We gather round the sleeping dead,
And for a few sad mourning days
On what was precious fondly gaze
We feel our loss.
II Is not when, loves labor done,
The coffin closed we one by one,
with trembling awe, approach and kneel
And on the lid firewell seal
From lips that cannot speak prayer,
SO deep the struggling feeling there
We feel our loss.
And when the last dread solemn rite
Ashes TO ashes must unite,
In sable garb we stand around,
Ba'hing with tears the burial ground
Which soon our treasure must conceal;
Then, then. indeed a grief we feel
But not our loss.
But when few more days are gone.
And we yet weep, hut weep alone;
when all Is rs It was before,
Save one we never can see more;
When Others take that vacant place
So lately filed by one dear face
We feel our loss.
Ah.many year may pass away,
And many sunbeam round us pay.
And many cloud OF heavy woe
Darken our pathway here below;
But joy or grief can ne'er efface
What memory's pen alone can trace
There Is our loss.

Respect for the Aged.

keen sense of the ludicrous often causes
the young to laugh at the aged People
walking with cane or crutches, bent and
STOPPING, look so droll TO those so full of
fun that it will burst forth at the slightest
provocation. | remember, years ago, how
nearly some children came to laughing out
in church, when an old man put his red
silk handkerchief on his bald head. The
room was growing cold, and, dare say he
feared taking cold. When we were home
again, our merriment overflowed and we
laughed with unabating glee, it seemed so
intensely funny. All this gayety is well
enough at proper times and places, If no
ones feelings are hurt and The sport-mdkers are
not harmed By H. Let us always think of
that, children. Do we like to be laughed
at by a crowd of others A joke is well.
and we can bear our share and laugh with
the rest but to be set one side, with others
together making sport at our expense, is
quite different thing, as we all know. We
may live to be feeble and decrepit our.
selves, or we may, by an accident, become
manned for life, while yet young--in either
case, how should we wish to be treated
We must not forget the Golden Rule. Then,
for our own benefit, we should be guarded

doing the things which are pleasing to those
about us, and trying to make them happier,
is like picking up bits of sunshine and
freely giving them to all whom we meet.
One cold evening, in winter, several years
ago, whte-headed man, weakened by age

where small company of friends were
gathered. Immediately, the eldest one
among us arose. "Don't rise," said the
elder one; but the other replied, "The
Bible says, Thou shalt rise up before the
hoary head" That example did me much
good and shall always remember it. There
is chapter in the Bible which describes

Don't Take the Trail.

Foot or horsemen who go to Como
will see sign board near the foot
of the main Como grade, when about
four miles out of Dayton, advising
them that -" This Is short trail to
Como for footmen and horsemen. !"
They had better not take the trail,
however. After the first half. mile
there are a dozen old wood trails,
and stranger would not know which
TO take. Besides. the trail is exceed.
ingly steep, rocky, and fatiguing; and
1t only saves a mile or two, anyway.
The grade is far preferable, as al.
though it is somewhat rough, the re-
mainder of the road makes up for
this, as it is smooth as garden walk.
Another great advantage of going by
the road is that most of the mineral
belt can be seen on the way to Como.

strate that the ore will average at
least 500 per ton; the walls OF the
vein, as shown in the long trench, in
the old tunnel. and in the old shaft,
prove that it 10 widening as it de-
sends, and the tons of ore taken from
the deepest point yet reached prove
that the Eichness of the ore is not d.
mished at the depth of 80 feet. The
proportions of the precious metals
thus Gar are about one-fourth gold
and three.fourths silver. A more
promising outlook for any mine
c6uld not reasonably be expected.
A controlling interest in the prop
erty was purchased about a year ago
by DR.. Bronson and Frank Osbiston,
and the Quinn Mining Company was
organized. 1t is the intention to
erect suitable hosting machinery as
soon as possible, and the extraction
of ore can then begin at once. In
fact, when the new shaft gets down
about 80 feet further il will probably
cut into the hanging wall of the vein,
and the extraction of ore can then be
carried on with windlass while the
machinery is being tut 10 place.
1t is not q little singular that a
mine like this, paying right from the
grass roots, should have gone so long
without enlisting the aid of the little
capital needed for its proper develop
ment. 1t was located nearly 20 years
ago by Mr.. Quinn, and he has never
ceased working upon it. He began
on the surface where he first found
the lead, and the ore proved rich
enough to pay for working in an ar
rastra, or to screen ont and work in Il
pan. This method of working &C.
counts for the long trench spoken Of
The yield was sufficient to support
Quinn and his family comfortably.
but without capital he was unable to
develop his mine properly. Having
now disposed of portion of his in
terest to men who have the means to
open the mine as it should be, Mr..
Quinn calmly awaits the time when
a third or fourth interest in the Ne
vada Bank shall he offered for sale,
feeling quite confident that the third
interest in the Quinn mine which he
still retains will by that time have
yielded him sufficient money to buy
into the big bank. Stranger things
have happened.
Another good feature about the
Quinn is that it is in direct line
with the Forman aud Yellow JACKIE,
new shafts and the other advanced
Comstock workings. Spring Valley
is much lower than Virginia, how
ever, so that the collar of the Quinn
shaft is probably level with the 1900
or 1500-workings of the Virginia
mines. If there is anything in depth,
this is great point in favor of the
Quinn.
