Scenes Of whittIer's Childhood.

A little more than a mile out OF town
we pass three beautiful sheets of water,
the most noteworthy Of which formerly
bore the name of ssGreat Pond, to dis
tinguish it from its lesser neighbors, but
not many years since it was re-christened
'sKenoza," the Indian name for pickerel,
with which it abounds. Whittier con-
tributed to the christening ceremonies
the sweet and musical poem which, in
his published collection, bears the title
of "Kenoza Lake. It closes with the
exquisite and devout stanza:
And when the sunni mer day grows dim
And light mists walk the mimic sea,
Revive In us the thought Of Him
Who walked on Galflee.
Keeping by the beautiful lake, withits
lofty and irregular shore, wooded on the
side opposite us to the waters edge, we
take road to the left which soon brings
us to the veritable old home, two-story
house with large chimney in the CEN
ter. The small square porch at the side
of the house, and particularly the stone
step, must be noticed, for it was con
this door stone, gray and rude, that the
Barefoot Boy" Whittier being himself
the hero of that poem, enjoyed his
'.Bowl of milk and bread"
Near the house and crossing the road
is the little stream, "the buried brook
let" of ''Snow Bound" which in summer
Laughed for the Barefoot Boy" and
whose constant ripple was ever through
the day and through the night whisper

house and barn, is the road which be-

Bound" winter. and here the old barn to
which, after tunneling the drift, they
went to the relief of the ''prisoned
brutes," and where
The oxen lashed their tails and hooked,
And mild reproach OF hunger looked.
The house stands in hollow, and the
roads about it form a sort of irregular
triangle, and by driving back and forth
You can get not only the views given in

equally attractive. On the drive toward
the house and near Kenoza lake, is a
short street, which it is worth while to
drive down; you can easily return to the
main road. Here you will find pic

think you cannot fail to recognize it
from this description. It was the home
of Mrs. Caldwell, the "elder sister" of
the poet, of whom he writes in stSnow
Bound"
Oh, heart sore-tired! thou hast the best
That Heaven itself can give thee-rest.
How many poor ones blessing went
With thee beneath the low green tent,
Whose curtain never outward swings.
On the return drive you will wish to
see the spot where the school house of
Whittier's childhood and of the poem
entitled ttIn School Days" stood. In
this poem, you will remember, he has

When man is guilty of breach of
trust, when he loses the money of other
people, or when a man makes bad
failure, showing large liabilities and
insignificant assets, the matter is made
notorious by publication and the talk of
men, especially if the offender be q
member of the church. But if man is
honest, if he makes an unusual exhibi-
ton of integrity, that receives only
trifling notice, and nobody stops to in
quire whether the virtue he exhibits is
an example of Christian integrity or is
due to the power Of Scriptural truth.

Tire Building Season.

In all probability the building season in
Butte this year will be unprecedentedly lively,
and though considering the age of the camp,
we have already more brick and tire-proof
structures than any other town on the Coast,
there is every indication that the lumber will
he largely increased. 1t IS not desirable to
erect any more wooden buildings, for since
our water facilities are somewhat imperfect,
all endeavor should be made as far as possible
to secure ourselves from fire by constructing
our houses of tre-prOof material. l. is
urged by soine however, that building brick
is too expensive, but the objection IS
one which can be easily overcome. All
that is needed is a brick machine to man
u~facture the article. Machines of various
designs have been recently patented and
have given general satisfaction wherever used
for not only have the brick been of improved
quality but the cost of manufacture has been
perceptibly lessened and lessened to such an
extent that a substantial brick house costs
but little more than a frame building. What
Butte requires, therefore, is for some enter
prising man to import a few brick making
machines. 1t will prove 4 profitable specula-
| ton for him and will add much to the safety
of the town from the otherwise ever present
danger of fire.

Wood Thieves.

An eastern paper not long ago gave an &C
count of a man who had read that one should
to draw something useful from
everything he saw, and who nobly resolved
to profit by the teaching. That night, when
the moon was hidden, he essayed to draw a
number of cord wood sticks from his neigh
oor's wood-pile and got so well filled up with
rock salt, out of a gun, that he wont be able
to taste anything fresh for the balance of his
natural life. We refer to this melancholy
incident to remind those parties who almost
nightly reduce the proportions of Mr.. joaquin

likely to be the result of their depredations.

of the fact that these children have, most of
them, been without school privileges for from
one to five years, they exhibit a very COM
mendable and pleasant degree of progress.
