The Metropolis Of The Rocky Mountains.

Denver stands as the supply depot and
money receiver of three great branches
Of industry and wealth, namely, mining,
stock raising AMI agriculture.
The fret of these is the most import
mt. Many Of the richest proprietors
live here and spend their ptoiits. Then,
too, the machinery which the mining
md reduction OF hte ores require, and
the tools, clothing and provisions OF the
men mainly come from here. About
IS, 900 lodes have been discovered IN
Colorado, and numberless placers. Only
a small proportion of these, OF course.
were worked remuneratively, but the
cash yield of the twenty years since the
discovery OF the precious metals mas
averaged nearly IS, 5,0OO,O coo year, and
has increased from 100000 in 1869 10
over $4,000, 900 in 1879. Not half OF
this is gold, yet it is only since 1870 that
silver has been mined al all in Colorado.
These statistics show the total yield oil
the State in gold and silver thus far 70
approximate 800, 0OO,O 600, not to men
tion tellurium, copper, iron, lead and
coal.
The second great means Of revenue TO
Denver is the cattle andssheep of the
State. The wonderful, worthless-look-
ing buffalo grass, growing In little TUFTS
so scattered that the dust shows itseli
everywhere between, and turning scar
and shriveled before the spring rains are
fairly over, has proved one Of Colorado's
most prolific sources of wealth. The
herds now reported in the State count
up eO0. and the annual shipments
amount to 100000, at an average OF S2S
apiece, giving s2,2OO,OOO as the yearly
yield. Add the receipts from the sales
of hides, tallow and beef butchered here,
and the dairy consumption, and you
have figure not far from $4,000, 600 70
represent the total annual income from
this branch ofproductive industry. The
whole value of the cattle investments in
the State is estimated by good judges al
Sl2, 900, 900, nearly one-fourth Of which
is the property OF citizens of Denver
Yet this sum, great as it is for a pioneer
region, represents only halfof Colorado''
live stock. Last year (lS7S) over
1900, 900 sheep were sheared, and more
and more capital is being invested ir
this industry. Perhaps the total value
of sheep ranches in the State is not les'
than SO, 900, 600, the annual income from
which approaches Sl.OOO,OOO.
The third large item of prosperity tx
the State is agriculture, although it ad
vances in the face of much opposition
The manipulating of course, is of wheat
and the total crop at present amounts tt
about 100000 bushels, averaging sew
enty cents in price. Add to this othel
grains, etc., and the annual yield OF tn
soil in Colorado is brought TO owe
so, 900, 600 in value. Farmers are earn
ing better and better how to combat tn
great obstacles to agriculture in thi
State, and the tiilage is annually wider

NICODEMUS DODGE.

When was boy in printing Office
in Missouri, a loose jointed, long-legged,
tow headed, jeans.clad, countriied cub
of about sixteen lounged in one day, and
without removing his hands from the
depths of his trousers pockets, or taking
off his faded ruin Of slouch hat, whose
broken brim hung limp and ragged about
his ears like bug eaten cabbage leaf,
stared indifferently around, then leaning
his hip against the editors table, crossed
his mighty brogans, aimed at a distant
ny from a crevice in his upper teeth,
laid him low, and said with composure:
"Wha's the bosSH"

lowing this curious bit of architecture
wonderingly along up to its clock face
with his eye.

The Mahogany Tree,

Full grown, the mahogany tree IS one
of the monarchs of tropical America.
Its vast trunk and massive arms, rising
to a lofty height and spreading with
graceful sweep over immense spaces,
covered with beautiful foliage, bright,
glossy, light and airy, clinging so long
TO the spray as to make it almost an
evergreen-present rare combination
of loveliness and grandeur. The leaves
are very small, delicate and polished
like those of the laurel The flowers
are small and white, or greenish yellow.
The mahogany lumbermen, having Sc
lected tree, surround it with a plat
form about twelve feet above the ground
and cut it above the platform. Some
dozen or fifteen feet of the largest part
of the trunk are thus lost; yet a single
log not unfrequently weighs from six or
seven TO fifteen tons, and sometimes
measures rs much rs seventeen feet in
length and four and a half to FIVE and n
half feet in diameter, one tree furnish
ing two, three or four such logs. Some
trees have yielded 10000 superficial feet,
and at average prices have sold for
$4,000.

The True Wife.

Oftentimes have seen tall ship
glide by against the tide, as If drawn by
an invisible tow-line with hundred
strong arms pulling it. Her sails un-
furled, her streamers dropping, she had
neither side-wheel nor stern wheel still
she moved on, stately, in serene triumph,
as with her own life. But knew that
on the other side of the ship, hidden be-
meath the great bulk that swan 80 ma
jestically, there was a little toilsomo
steam tug, with heart of fire and arms
of iron, that was tugging it bravely on !;
and knew that If the little steam tug
untwined her arms and left the ship, 1t
would wallow and roll away, and DRIFT
hither and thither, and 60 off with the
eflluent tide no man knows where; and
80 have known more than one genius
high-decked, full-freighted, wide'sailed,
gay-pennoned, but for the bare toiling
arm and brave warm heart of the faith.

so that no wind or wave could part
them, he would have gone down with
the stream and been heard Of no more

In Harvest Day,

In Harvest Day,

And IDLY on the stlls leant,

And was sad. Tho stricken grain
Around me layi

OF buds and blossoms lowly laid

"And this is all |" sadly said
"Those withored leaves
This gathered grain! Springs hours oi blisI
Aud summers glory turn TO this

Then Farmer Gale-that good old mar.
So simply wise
Who overheard, and quickly turned,
Said, while spark of anger burned
In hisgny eyes:
clad, thou art town-bred, knowing naughi
Whereof thou pratest
For, bc tho flower rs fair as May,
The fruit il yields in harvest day
Is still tho greatest!
"And thou-thy spring shall quickly pass
Fast fall the leaves
From hie's frail tree. In harvest day
Sec that before thy Lord thou lay
Some yellow sheaves."

hear the flow
o. busy lilo in crowded street.
OF eager voices, hurrying ieOt,
To come and go.
Yet cen while flashing factory looms
My hands engage,
see that iar-off upland plain
Its long, long ROW. Of gathered grain,
Its rustic sage,
And hear them say. "Let pleasures fair,
And passions vain,
And youthful follies, fade and diei
But all good deeds, purO thoughts und high
Like golden grain,
"Be gathered still" Blest harvest stor
That only grows
In hearts besprinklcd with the blood
That evermore-a sacred flood
From Calvary flows!
