A gentleman states that he often laughed,

at his old fathers pronunciation of furnitoor
His children now tell him that is the way to
pronounce it, and he has been brought to re-
gard his father as highly accomplished old
gentleman.

1.
A child of brighter than the mornings birth
And lovelier than all smiles that may be smiled
Save only of little children undehled,
Sweet perfect, witless of their own dear worth,
Live rose of love- mute melody OF mlrth,
Glad as a bird is when the woods are mild,
Adorable as IS nothing save child,
Halls with wide eyes and lips his life on earth,
His lovely life with all its heaven to be
And whose reads he name inscribed or hears,
Feels his own heart a frozen well of tears,
Child, for deep dread and fearful pity of thee
Whom God would not let rather die than see
The incumbent horror of impending years.
Man that vast godlike being a child. and now,
No less than kinglike, art no more in sooth
For all thy grace and loneliness of youth,
The crown that bids mems branded foreheads bow
Much more has branded and bowed down thy brow
And gnawn upon it as with fire or tooth
Of steel or snake SO sorely, that the truth
Seems here to bear false witness. Is it thou,
Child? And is all the summer of all thy spring,
This? Are the smiles that drew mems kisses down
All faded and transfgured to the frown
That grieves thy face? Art thou this weary thing
Then is no slaves load heavier than crown
And such a thrall no bondman as king
III,
Misery, beyond all mems most miserable,
Absolute, whole, defiant of defense,
Inevitable, inexplicabe, intense,
More vast than heaven is high, more deep than hell
Past cure charm of solace or of spell,
Possesses and pervades the spirit and sense
Whereto the expanse of the earth pays tribute;
whence
Breeds evil only and broods on fumes that swell
Rank from the blood of brother and mother and
wife.
'Misery of miseries, all is misery" saith
The heavy fair-faced hateful head, at strife
With its own lusts that burn with feverous breath,
Lips which the loathsome bitterness of life,
Leavesfearful of the bitterness of death.

Fort Benton, Montana, Wednesday, July 1881

Company, ar e coming to Benton for the ex-
press purpose Of making q thorough examin-
alton Of the Barker region and other mining
interests in this portion OF Montana. They
have had such fattering reports Of the pros
poets here that they have concluded o come
and see for themselves, and If the outlook is
as represented, invest their money. This is
good news for Northern Montana as capital
is now the thing essential to render this sec
ton the greatest mining region in the world.
The quartz interests Of Montana are in their
infancy and the day is not far distant when
these districts adjacent to Benton will pro-
duce the precious meta Ii abundance. Capt.
tai only is needed to develop them.
THE LAURA NINE.
Among the numerous leads that are attract
ing some attention is the Laura mine owned
BY Messrs. Weeks, 5paulding and Roster. It
is situated at the head of Gold Run, over
the Eastern divide, and accessible from
point Of prairie between Geo. A1lis place
and the butte. The lead showed a superior
quality Of ore from the first assay Of top
rock, which went about ses16 to the ton, and
now, at depth of Is or 90 feet, it shows up
vein of ore 3 feet wide end assaying in the
neighborhood of $3.50. -Four men are en-
ployed in developing this property, under
the immediate supervision Of Mr.. Weeks,
practical miner Of years experience. The
above named gentlemen have 5000 feet of
this lead, and from present indications it is
safe to class them with the bonanza kings of
the new El Dorado.
