10 THE TEACHERS AND STUDENTS OF
MARvIN,S. s.:
Ofno uthroncerning our mys.
teriOus stay on earth, have we more
or more convincing dem
Onstratiohs than of its sbortness
and uncertainty.
Brief life is indeed our portion.
Everything in nature seems to
mock our shOrt-llved race.
"We ALL" says the eloquent
prophet of Israel, edo fade as a
leaf" Yet the leaf as it.falls, re-
minding US of mortality, is itself, a
portion Of our enduring system.
Its evanescent summer life has
been, as it were, but the pulse.
throb of an existence, by the side
of which the oldest living man
seems but youth.
Yea, everything that the heart
loves and fondly cherishes, bears
the sad impress of life's brevity,
Life is short for joy--how the mo-
mentary sunbeams CLEAN and then
vanish.
Life is short for work--the busy
builder lays the cornerstone of his
fabric, the death shadow rests up.
on it, and he is gone.
Life is short for affection-the pa.
rent leads the lettering footsteps
of the child a little way along
the road, the links part, the ca.
ble-tow drops, the rough and rug.
ged path must be trodden alone.
Here it is that life seems shortest,
most uncertain ofall as the thoughts
run back and the tears water, and
keep green the turf DER buried
hopes and frustrated promises; fol
"rhere is no flock however watched
aud tended,
But one dead lamb is not there.
There is no household, howe'er de
tended,
But hath its vacant chair
Now, therefore, We the teachers
and pupils of Marvin Sunday.Schoo
having learned of the death of our
beloved and highly esteemed friend
and fellow scho0!-mate, Jesse En-.
brey Stubs, who was brought to
an untimely death on Monday, the
26th day of September, 1881,
Therefore, be it Resolved, That
the Sabbath-School extend to the
family and kindred Of our deceased
friend our sincere sympathy and
coincidence in this, their sad he.
reavement and loss of an affection
ate and dutiful son, a devoted
brother and friend.
"While they sigh for u touch of his
vanished hand,
For the sound of his voice that is
still"
Resolved, That in the death Of
Bro. Jesse, his parents nave losta
loving and dutiful sor, the Sabbath
School a Jealous and valued mem.
Der, and the community a noble
and genererous-hearted man.
Resolved, that the members Of

badge of mourning for thirty days in
respect to his memory; and that

be requested to publish the same
in their respective papers, and that
the Secretary copy them on the

A Terrible Death.

A TRULY horrible incident is reported in the
Vienese papers as hav ng recently taken
place in the great paper-mil of MessTs Gel
lerth & Fucrth, at Pilsen 1t having been re-
ported to the manager of that institution that
the great steam boiler was foul and the fur
naces required cleaning, he caused the fires to
be eXtinguished and employed a gang of
workmen to execute the necessary cleansing
operations. One of the laborers, Il powerful
young fellow of nineteen, named Anthony
Kaczander, after toiling hard at his share of
the job for several consecutive hours, lay
down in the huge air-pipe, rum ng under the
main furnace, intending to snatch few mo-
mcnts' rest. He must havao fallen into
deep sleep, for when the
masons instructed TO brick up the end
of the pipe later on in the day carried out
their orders, he made no sign. As soon as the
furnace was pronounced to be again in work
ing order the stokers we're instructed TO light
the fires and did so. Presently Kaczandcr
was missed in the Mill. Search was Instituted
for him, but in VAN. Next morning it appears
to have occurred to one of his fellow-wOrk-
men that he might have crept into the air
pipe. Upon this suggestion being communi-
Gated 10 the manager steps were at once
taken to break into the closed mouth OF the
tube; and, sure enough, the charred skeleton
OF Anthony Kaczander was discovered lying
close to the issue, bricked up during bis heavy
slumber Of the previous afternoon. In all
probability, awakened by the heat soon after
the fires we're lighted, he had crawled toward
the outlet, and, finding it impenotrably closed,
had resigned himself TO bis fate.

A Mine for Sale.


We have decided to sell our claim in
the North Park known as the New Jeru-
salem mine, owing to the press of other
work and the fact that the capital stock
of the concern is needed for other pur.
poses. BlT
The mine is situated near the apex of
the Continental divide, at an altitude of
10000 feet above the level of the sea.
The claim Is great deal higher than
the price we hold it at
We have never successfully developed
the claim, for several reasons. In the
first place, the winters are so severe at
that elevation that a shaft sunk in the
summer season is 'heared out, - so to
speak, every spring. This is discourag.
ing. No man wants to dig a S0-foot
shaft in claim only to find the next
! spring that It has been squeezed out Of
the ground or is sticking 80 feet up into
the atmosphere.
Again, there is an avalanche of snow
and loose rock that starts from this
point every Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday, when on time, and it fills the
shaft full. You can work all day Sun.
day and Monday freeing the shaft OF
snow and debris, and on Tuesday
morning before breakfast there is your
regular avalanche piled in there again,
and waiting to be dug out.
This becomes at last wearisome and
unsatisfactory. 1t tends to discourage
ment and loss of confidence. Beside,
if the avalanche isn't on time, and is re-
ported several hours late, suppose she
should make up an hour and reach the
claim while the Superintendent was
down in the bottom of the shaft.
This has happened several times al
ready, and Superintendent are getting
| seldom.
There are very few men who possess
the required agility to climb up thirty
foot shaft in time to skip an avalanche.
Three Superintendent of the New
Jerusalem mine will be thrown in with
the property. They are down in the
bottom of the shaft now. They don't
shut down work soon enough. One Of
them was delayed about getting out,
and when the avalanche had passed the
second one started in to dig him out,
and had just got down pretty near him
when another premature avalanche
came past. Then the third one started
in to dig out the other two. He didn't
calculate just right, and he is there, too
This has given the mine bad repu
tation and prejudlced people against it
r. One advantage of the claim, however
is that no one can ever successfully
jump it. A mine at an altitude of 10,00(
feet is very difficult thing to jump. A
man would have to run two miles, and
jump off spring board, in order to ge
velocity enough to jump claim at tha
altitude.--Laranaie city (COlo.) Boom

A BOstOnian's Curious viii.

The Eben Wright will is the social
sensation in Boston. Eben Wright was
a very wealthy old bachelor, who had
inherited a good deal Of money, which
he had more than doubled by his own
business success. He was not an amia-
BILE man neither was he fond of his re-
lations. He had fayorites outside Of
them, but they were not many. One Of
his neighbors at his seaside country re.
sort was Gen. Charles A. Whittier, a
Boston broker. Mr.. Wright took fam
ey to him and to his family. They are
among the most respected Of our Boston
people. Mr., Wright was fond of visit
ing them and having them visit him.
Mrs. Whittier was kind to the old gem
tleman, and pleasant friendship ex-
listed between them. He probably con-
fided in her more than any one else.
This sps heiwent "a fl6fiaa n y poor
state OF health. He grew worse there,
and, his case becoming critical, he tele-
graphed to Mrs. Whittier that he should
Ike to see her. She started at once for
the South, and took with her a Boston
physician, whom, it is said, she engaged
at the rate of 500 per day. Mr. Wright
did not live long after she reached him.
When he died it was found that he had
made will soon after her arrival, in
which, after bequeathing 100000 or
S300,000 in legacies, he had given her
the entire balance of his fortune. amount
ing to probably Sl,500,00O. Such an
immense bequest, as you may suppose,
has astonished every one. 1t is a stu
pendous result from an old mans fan
cy. Mr.. Wright's own relatives have
been cut off with very little. Two of his
sisters have but $1,000 each. The
proceedings seems to have been freak
of man with unamiable as well as sym
pathetic impulses. No very great Pc
cuniary hardship grows out of the will
in most cases, as Mr. Wright's relations
are generally well off in the world. ]
hear, however, that this is not the fact
as regards one of his sisters. On the
other hand, neither does Mrs. Whittier
need the money. Her husband is very
bold and successful operator in stocks
and is said to have made $500, 900 in the
last year. He is a partner of Mr.. Henry
l.. Higginson, who | told you last week
had guaranteed so much money to the
new musical enterprise in Boston. The
general inquiry now is as to whether the
will is to stand or be contested. No
body knows anything ON the subject
Mr.. Wright's relations are entirely re
ticent. One rumor is to the effect thai
Gen. Whittier decided that he would
not receive the money. Another, and .
more probable one, is that he is in ne
gotiation with the relations, and ha:
made propositions to yield up to then
$1,000,0O0 and accept the rest. He il

Texas Stage Robbers Outwitted.

Col. L. Caldwell reports that when it
was known that the robbers had stop
ped the coach, money and valuables
changed positions. Judge Leisering
showed his fine watch and chain into his
boot; Capt. Millet jerked off his watch
and chain and threw them into the
brush, and then cut slit with his pen
knife in the lining of the coach and put
5000 in greenbacks out of the way, all
being done before the robbers could get
the passengers out of the stage. Capt.
Millettavore a fine diamond pin up near
his collar-button, which, wearing a
heavy beard and holding his head down,
the thieves failed to discover. The rob-
bers abused and cursed the passengers
for being so poor and penniless, and
kept them standing with their hands up
for two hours. Col. Caldwell says the
robbers obtained but few dollars from
the passengers.-Corpas Christi { (7erGS)
