This programme ignores Puget Sound,
and the mouth of the Columl ia river.
and by this foreshadowing programme,
the whole northwest is to be made
tributary to San Francisco. The
Willard party, now having the control
OF the North Pacific management. and
under the grant not being able to con
solidete the Northern Pacific with
the O. r. Il N. Co., or with any other
company, seem to be disposed to sim
ply do work enough on the Northern
Pacific to hold the land grant, but to
compel the whole Northern Pacific
interest west Of the Rocky mountains
to be i'll every respect, second to the
.. X. 4 N. Company, and to keep as
much business away from Puget Sound
as possible, and thus delay The growth
of city Of large proportions upon the
waters of Puget Sound. They may b.
able to carry out this programme, but
if they do, Jay Gould, Vanderbilt,
Stafford and Croker will be q sleep,
and so will the masses Of the people of
the north west. The newly discov-
cred route through the Bitter Root
range will yet cut a figure i'll check,
mating this game to ignore Puget
Sound.

THE PATH TO SUCCESS.

THE path to success, tho' no smooth thoroughfare
& III forbidden to none, 'ts as free as tho air;
Yet many who boldly set forth OIL the track,
Ere the journeys half DER shrink ignobly back.
For the phantom of Failure Oft looms OH the sight
,5WhOse terrOrs unreal the tlmid alright,
And obstacles many wayfarer daunt,
(which those who persist rarely fail TO surmount.
4 BY efforts spasmodc success Is meier won,
But only by ploddng untringly on,
Those who lag by the way ever seek II In valn
IiThey alone, who keep moving, the end can attain
For when to halt lack Of energy leads,
i.rhc bourne Of success from the traveller rcccdcs
More remote It becomes at each needless delay;
And on Hopes far horizon at length fades away.
.Even Genius, unbacked by rcsoute soul,
Must ever fall short of the coveted goal,
Where plain Medocrity often arrives,
Because for Its object 1t ceasclcssly strives.
.Thon be earnest, undaunted; If you'd win success
Along the rude pathway increasingly press;
Let 10 obstacles stay You, no hardship appall,
If defiant OF failure, you'll not fail At all.

Couldn't Wind II Up.

On train going up the Hudson river
recently, was young man in farmers
dress, who had his overcoat pockets full
OF purchases. After inspecting two or
three parcels, he took the wrap off a
twenty-five cent thermometer and exam
med the instrument with tho closest in
tcrcst. He looked Mt the face, then ut
the back, and the longer he looked the
more puzzled he seemed A gentleman
who had been observing him finally re-
marked
Been buying Thermometer, T see."
Yes; l bought her for neighbor of
ours"
WHAT'S tho temperature in this car
just now?"
The young man took long sqnint at
the thermometer, turned it over two or
three times and said:
Nothing further was said for ten mill
ltcs, and tho gentleman was busy with
his paper, when the other touched his
arm and said
"Say, are You used to thcrmomctcrs?'
Yes, slightly"
.'"'.Well, I'm II little green, and I'm
Wiling TO own up. Seems to me there's
something wrong about this 'ere.'

We'll, it may be ; but / had made up
my mind there was something missing.
can't find any kcyhole, and if it over
had any hands OH the face, they're gone
now for sure"
1t took about five minutes to enlighten
him, and when he realized chow she

the remark
"Im going home and will tell the old
man that none of us know enough to tell
when we get cliblains |"
