yer Lake band of explorers came upon
this remarkable mountain, which arises
IN columnar cliffs and rounded bases to
many hundreds of feet in altitude from
kissing hot springs at the margin Of the
lake. As it was desirable to pass that
way, the party had to cut road through
the steep CLASSY barricade. This they
effected by making huge fires on the
glass to thoroughly heat and expand it,
and then dashing the cold water of the
lake against the heated surface to sud-
denly cool and break it up by shrinkage.
Large fragments were in this way de-
tachet from the solid side of the noun
tain, then broken up by small sledge
hammers and picks, not, however, with
out very frequent severe lacerations of
the hands and faces of the men from
flying splinters. In the Grand Canon
of the Gibson River, the explorers also
found preciplces of yellow, black, and
banded obsidian, hundreds of feet high.
The natural glass of these localities has
from time immemorial been dressed by
the Indians to tip their spears and
arrows.-Mdnheim Sentinel.

MAKE FRIENDs.-Life is very critical.
Any word may be our last. Any fare
we'll, even amid glee and merriment.
may be forever. If this truth were but
burned into our consciousness, and it
ruled as deep conviction and real pow
er in our lives, would 1t not give new
meaning to our human relationship?
Would it not make US far more tender
than we sometimes are Would it not
ofttimes put rein upon our rash and
impetuous speech? Would we carry
in our hearts the miserable suspicious
and jealousies that now so often embitter
the fountains? Would we be so impa-
tient of the faults of others? Would
we allow trivial misunderstanding to
build up a wall between US and those
who ought to stand very close to us ?
Would we keep alive petty quarrels,
year after year, which a manly word any
day would compose? Would we pass
old friends or neighbors on the street
without recognition. because of some
real or fancied slight, some wounding of
pride, some ancient grudge? Or, would
we be so chary of the kind words, our
concentrations. our sympathy, our CON-
fort, when weary hearts all about us
are breaking for just such expressions
of interest or appreciation as We have il
our power to give?

ANOTHER DAY.
by JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

How often is the pilgrims way
Beset with sorrow, pain, and care,
Until the burdens OF to-day
Seem more than one poor heart can bear,
And ever doth wall arise
Between him and to-morrOw's skies.
The steps or stitches we may take,
The little trials we may know,
Though bravely borne for loves dear sake,
May burden and perplex us so
That night, nor sumber, sets us free
From fetters Of anxiety.
But thought the shuttle will resume
That weary hands have thrown aside,
And join within her busy loom
What sleeps commissioned to divide,
And on the tired eyelids fall
Only the shadows from this wall.
Oh, blessed are the hours of sleep
That "knit the raveled sleeve of care"
In poppy-dews our senses steep,
And all our energies ensnare
So that when morn returns we may,
Refreshed, begin another day
Let me not build wall between
These hehs In which spend my time;
No dense, nor eypTess-coyered screen
DER which l have not power to climb.
Nor through whose chinks, when this days done,
can behold to-morrows sun.
But when In pain and weariness
At midnight hour seek my bed.
Let me throw off the chains that pgess.
And wear the conquerer's crown instead;
Trusting to God, my help alway,
For what I'll need another day.
Thus only can do his will;
Thus only health and strength renew,
That may faithfully fulfill
The many tasks have to do,
Ere l shall see before me rise
The shining walls of Paradise
