Shall We Meet Again L?

The following is one Of the N ost bril-
liant paragraphs ever written by the
lamented George D. Prentice 1.-The
fiat of death is ineXorable. There is no
appeal for relief from the great law
which dooms US to dust. We flourish
and fade as the leaves of the forest, and
the flowers that bloom, wither and
fade in a day have no frazier hold upon
life than the mightiest monarch that
ever shook the earth with his footsteps.
Generations OF men will appear and
disappear as the grass, and the multi
tude that throng the world to-day will
disappear as footsteps on the shore.
Men seldom think of the great event
Of death until The shadow falls across
their own pathway, hiding from their
eyes the faces Of loved ones whose liv.
ing smile was the sunlight of their exis.
tence. Death Is the antagonist of lite,
and the thought of the tomb is the
skeleton Of all feasts. We do not want
to go through the dark valley, although
the dark passage may lead to paradise /;
we do not want to go down into damp
graves, even with Princes for bed-fel-
lows. In the beautiful drama Of
'Ion' the hope OF Immortality, so elo-
suently uttered by the death'dcyoted
Greek, finds deep response in every
thoughtful soul. When about to yield
his life a sacrifice TO fate, his Cleman-
the asks If they should meet again, to
which lie responds have asked that
dreadful question Of the hills that look
eternal-of the clear streams that flow
forever-of stars among whose fields of
azure my raised spirits have walked in
glory. All are dumb. Rut as I gaze
upon thy living face, feel that there is
something in love that mantles through
It's beauty that cannot wholly perish.
We shall meet again Clemanlhe."

compensed for all my trouble. l found

Dorlans in the eleventh century before
our era. In one Of the buried cities /
found many statutes Of Minerva with
the OWLS head, whence her name of
Glaucopis. In another city :were found
many images Of the diyinities. But
the most interesting and important OF
all the discoveries is, of course, the
city Of King Priam. Every article
found IN the RUNS Of that city bears un-
Unstable signs OF having been destroyed
by fire aud in time Of war. There were
discovered many remains Of human
bodies in full armor. 1 dug out and
cleared away the debris from the entire
wall that surrounded the city, and also
from all the principal buildings. Now

JUVENILE SSfoKERs.-A British
physician, observing the large number
of boys under Is years Of age Oh the
streets with cigars aud pipes in their
mouths, was prompted to examine the
breath of this class of smokers, and for
that purpose selected thirty-eight boys
between the ages OF 9 aud Is. ln
twenty-five of these cases he found
various disorders of the circulat ion aud
digestion, palpitatIon Of the heart and
moro or less marked taste for strong
drink. 10 twelve there was frequent
bleeding Of the nose, and twelve had
slight liberation of the mouth caused by
tobacco. The doctor treated them for
their ailments, but with little effect un-
til the habit Of smoking was discon-
tlnued, when breath and strength were
soon restored. The effect Of tobacco in
creating taste for strong drink is un-
questionably very great. II the tesl.
mopy of some tobacco users. and medl-
cal men is of any weight, one OF the
NEST radical methods of keeping the
young from being led to Incorporate
drinking is to deny them tobacco.

Ice FOR TEETHING CHILDREN
The New York Sun has the following
bit of good news for worried mothers
and tortured babes
The pain of teething may be almost
done away. and the health of the child
bene fitted, by giving it fine splinters OF
ice. picked off with pin, to melt in its
mouth. The fragment is 30 small that
it IS but a drop OF YARN water before 1t
can be swallowed, and the child has all
the GOODNESS for its feverish gums with-
out the slightest injury. The avidity
with which the little things taste the
cooling morsel the instant quiet which
succ eeds hours OF iretfulness, and the
sleep which follows the relief are the
best with esses 10 this magic remedy.
Ice may be fed to a three-months' child
this way, each splinter being no larger
than a common pin, for five or ten
minutes, the result being that it has
swallowed d in that time a teaspoonful Of
warm water. which, 50 far from being a
harm, is good for il, and the process
may be repeated hourly as often as the
fretsiug fits from teething begin.

Words of Wisdom.

He who loses hope may then part

Sin is sturdy, and will rebel where
it cannot reign.

The error OF moment becomes the
sorrow of a whole life.
LoYe, faith, pltlence-.he three es-

There IS nothing terrible in death

Ajudiclous silence is better than truth
spoken without charity.
He who can pay homage to the truly
despicable is truly contemplate.
The mind has more room in it than
most people imagine, ifyou would fur
nish the apartments.
The evils Of the world will continue
until philosophers become kings, or
kings become philosophers.
The harsh, hard world neither sees,
nor tries to see, mems hearts; but wher-
ever there is an opportunity Of evil, sup.
poses that evil exists.

A Miners Daring.
IF DON'T COME BACK IN FIFTEEN
MINUTES, SHUT THE SHAFT FOREVER.

There is no braver men in the world
than can be found among the miners Of
the Comstock. Accustomed to face
danger every day Of their lives, they
never shrink from the call OF duty. An
instance Of personal bravery occurred
recently at the Hale and Norcross. which
is worthy Ofrecord as showing what
men will do and dare. When the pump
column in the mine burst, the flow Of
water which is usually pumped at the
Hale and Norcross, large portion Of
which comes from the well-known north
drift on the 2.200 level Of the Savage.
and is very hot, was sent through con
nections TO the &. n. S. shaft to be
raised to the Sutro tunhel level. One
day this flow of water was unusually
strong. The pumps labored assidiously
to keep it down, but labored ln VAN.
Bailing tanks were added, and still the
accumulation could not be kept down.
When the 2,40o station at that shaft was
some three feet under water, IN forna-
ton was sent to the Hale and Norcross
of the fact. and desire WAS expressed
to know the cause oi the increased flow.
The necessity ofan investigation thus
became imperative. . Superin-
tendent Deidesheimer, not knowing
what might have happened in that con-
fined locality to threaten the safety OF
the mine on lower levels, and not wish
ing to send men where he was unwlll-
ing to go himself, sent for Foreman
Kellogg. who was working on the bro
ken pump column, informed him OF the
situation of affairs and asked him to go
with himself and see what was wrong.
Mr.. kellogg Gould not allow Mr.. DeId'
esheimer to incur the risks OF the explo.
ration and set about preparing to go
alone. He saturated a woolen shirt
with ice-water and bound it on and
it on and over his head, leaving but
single eye exposed. He then mufied
hands and thus prepared entered the
drift, leaving with the superintendent o
request that, if he did not return in fif
teen minutes, the drift should be closed
behind him. TO be opened no more,
This could well be done, as the Savage
had bulkheaded that.level, the air hat
been shut out, aud the workings were
practically abandoned. After enduring
that terrible heat for twelve minutes,
Mr.. Kellogg came back and reported
nothing amiss. The extra water was
but an unusually large intermittent flow
from the old north drift in Savage.
When stripped Of his mufings, Mr.
Kellogg found that in some way one oi
his hands become barred while he was
in the drift, and the back of it had been
burned to a solid blister By the dry, hot
air to which he had been exposed
Water 5oils on the Comstock at l9S'

utes temperature Of only 400 below
