NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. MARCH IL. 1882.
AT LAST.

When on my day of life the night is falling.
blown,
hear far voices out of the darkness calling
My feet to paths unknown.
Thou who hast made my home of life so pleas
ant,
Leave not its tenant when its walls decay.
Love divine, o Helper ever present,
Be thou my strength and stay!
Be near me when all else is from me drifting,
Earth, sky, homes pictures, days Of shade
and shine,
And kindly faces to my own uplifting
The love which answers mine.
| have but Thee, o Father! Let Thy spirit
Be With me then to comfort and uphold:
No gate of pearl, no branch of palm, merit,
Nor street of shining gold.
Suffice it if-my good and i'll unreckOned,
And both forgiven through Thy Astounding
grace
find myself by hands familiar beckoned
Unto my fitting place.
Some humble door among Thy many mansions
Some sheltered shade where sin and striving
cease,
And flows forever through heavens green ex-
pansiOns
The river of Thy peace.
There, from the music round about me steal
ing,
I fain would learn the new and holy song.
And find, at last, beneath Thy trees of healing,
The life for which long.

silver Mining In Vermont.
From the Addison County journal

lFrom the Addison County journal
Extending from Brandon into the town OF
PittsfOrd there is a long valley known as
"Sugar Hollow" and in this valley, near the
southeastern part of Brandon, there is now
in active operation mining project. The
company is made up of highly respectable
citizens Of Brandon and Pittsford, besides
several other men from out of the State.
They claim to be in search of vein of silver
discovered over one hundred years ago, and
they are also looking for bars of worked sill
yer that were buried there In concealment from
the Indians. Many are prosecuting the work,
not because they lind indications of silver,
but because they firmly believe an old trad-
ton that runs somewhat as follows, about
1876 years ago Spanish seer saw in vision
the richest vein of silver In the world, and
he offered to direct an expedition to 1t. They
formed company. chartered a vessel cross
ed the Atlantic, sailed up the II. Lawrence,
through the Sound, into Lake Champlain, as
far south US Larabee's Point. From this
point the seer directed part Of the ships
company into the primeval forest, until
they reached the aforementioned spot In
Brandon. Here the seer ordered a
halt, commanding his men to dig specified
distance In certain direction, where they
soon found the identical vein which he had
seen from far beyond the Atlantic. But, as
tradition has 1t, they were soon driven away
by the Indians, and in their flight they left
silver enough to buy the city OF Troy 1t
was carefully concealed, however, 80 that in
returning to Spain they felt confident that
they could return In stronger force and re-
cover 1t all hut the French and Indian war
prevented their return and the matter rested.

The Oldest Rel In Burlington,

To the Editor Of the Free Press and Times
In your interesting article in u RECEIPT
issue on church bells, occurs the the follow.
ing sentence in regard to the venerable bell
upon the Unitarian church, erected in 1916 +;
"No inscription marks its surface, save the
stamp Of time, but its tones are as clear and
resonant as when on that memorable day, GO
years ago, it rang for the first church service
In the first church of Burlington, then in its
infancy" On this subject, Thompson's
Gazetteer Of Vermont states in the article on
Burlington, a. follows. viz, 1.-THE Congre-
gational church was organized February 23,
1906, and was for several years the only reli-
,gious society,"" 'This society erected the
first meeting house in town, which was de-
dicated in December, 1879. This house.
which was of wood, was burned June
80, 1880. But another has arisen
from its ashes, which was dedi-
Gated April IA, lS43." This is what is now
called the Winooski avenue Congregational
church. Its records run back continuously
to it's organization in 1905 and the name by
which 1t was then baptised, appears upon
the ancient record written In tho full round
hand of its first pastor the Rev. Daniel Has
kell, who was also the the first settled minis.
ter in Burlington, and is as follows VIZ.
"'The first church of Christ in Burlington
under the Congregational order"

James Ransom were working on the roof OF
Bruce's barn, the staging gave way end both

shoulder. Bruce was about seventy-five
years old, and leaves u family.

Slate Quarrying In vermont,

The shipments Of slate from West Pawlet
during the month of June exceeded that of
corresponding month in any previous year.
About 100 carloads left this place each hold
ing from As 10 so squares of roofing slate. In
fact West Pawlet has become the greatest
shipping point for slate on the line of this
road The firms NOV operating hlalc quarries
there are III. w. Hughes, six quarries, Rising
& Nelson, two quarries, and Jones g. Bryan,
two quarrics. Two thousand squares per
month is the average shipment through the
year Messrs. Rising j. Nelson, who are
now operating two sea-green quarries, are
about to open y third, a red slate quarry.
A large number of hands, mostly WEIGH
men, are employed in this industry
and while it appears rather singular,
yet it is fact that roofing slate can be
quarried here and shipped to Wales
and sold cheaper than it can be pro-
duced from the Wales quarries. Sca-green
slate is sold for from SO to 1915 per square
and red slate is worth $40 The land upon
which slate quarries are found is compare
lively worthless for cultivatation and, before
the quarries are developedsupon it, often sells
for small amount. One piece of land in
which certain quarry was developed was
purchased by its present owner for $4,000
and would not be sold now for $4,000
Owners of such lands often allow capitalists
to develop quarries upon them and accept
25 or 35 cents per square for all slate quar-
red. Thus without any direct investment
of funds they often receive handsome year
Nv revenue.

Planets In July.

The astronomer of the Providence journal
says that Neptune Saturn, Jupiter and Mcr-
curry are morning stars throughout the
month, rising in the order mentioned, and
Venus, Mars and Uranus evening stars. The
early hours Of morning will be very favor
able for observations OF Saturn and Jupiter,
as the former rises at midnight and the latter
three hours before sunrise. The approaching
transit OF Venus across the sun, December
Gth which will be observable in New Eng
land, causes unusual interest in the move
ments OF this star. July has two full moons,
and is the sole month in the year honorcd
with that distinction. The moon fulled on
the LIST and will again on the 3Oth. On the
10th the waning moon passes near Neptune
and Saturn. On the 18th she forms with
Jupiter lovely picture, the two being only
degree and quarter apart. On the 18th
the three days old moon is near Venus, and
on the 10th near Mars and Uranus.

KANSAS CITY TO DENVER.


Leaving Kansas City at 9,35 am, we mr.
rive at Denver at 0 the next morning, having
crossed the State Of Kansas and gone as lar
as Denver in Colorado,a distance of $50 miles.
There is little variety In the land or crops OF
Kansas where we pass. The railroad for the
most part runs along the fertile bottom land
of the Smoky Hill River, and corn seems to
be the staple product IN this section. AS
we leave Kansas and enter Colorado we get
sight Of genuine prairie and are welcomed
as we go by multludcs of prairie dogs with
occasionally an owl, but the snakes are moi
seen. West of Salna the bright red prairie
rose appears which l have cultivated many
years at home. There is peculiar plant in
abundance which grows to two or three feet
in height with leaves the shape OF an oak
| leaf and the color of the plant called Dusty
| Miller" This plant has large single white
| flower which resembles a single poppy; also
literally scattered over the prairie is yellow
flower like our ox-eyc daisy. Many other
flowers are present all Of which have not

SAKE ON LONGFELI.Ow.
Another Of Rev. IL. II. Howard
"Reminiscences.

1t is always interesting TO know what one
eminent poets estimate, or critical judgment,
is of another. Walking arm in arm, one
day, some twenty years ago, with John Il.
Sake, on the streets of Burlington, VT, con-
versation turned very naturally on Longfel-
low, say naturally. "lIiawatha" had then
been quite recently issued, and this new can
didate for public favor, on the part of New
Englands laureate, was the universal theme
at that time ih literary circles. "What do
you think of Hawaiian said |, addressing
Mr.. SAKE. "Its author has doho the best
that could be done under the circumstances, +"
replied Mr. SaXc-''has done better, doubt
less, than any other living man could have
done with his materials. The materials with
which Mr.. Longfelow has undertaken to
deal, in this case, while having, of course. an
emincutly American favor, and by no means
altogether destitute of romance, do not yet,
in my judgment, admit Of n high order of
poetic treatment. Mr. Longfellow, if not en-
tircly successful in his experiment, has done
very well indeed; but nopoct, whatever his
abilities or skill, in my opinion 1cN eper
er@l in the treatment OF these aboriginal ma
terials.'
(Which of Mr.. Longfellow's minor poems,
Mr.. SAKE, do you prefer, o. esteem as pos
sessng preeminent poetic merit 7"
"Perhaps he has written nothing which,
on the whole, will ever surpass or rival The
Psalm of Life And what is very remark,
able about this poem is the Puritan plainness
and simplicity, not to say triteness, OF It's
sentiments. and herein consists its peculiar
and rare excellency, in my view. The poet
has selected theme in this instance, seem
ingly as prosy Us a sermon; and seized upon
certain sentiments germanc to 1t, III them
selves as bold and impoetic in their nature as
maxims. They are maxims IN fact, neither
more nor less. Aud yet he has combined
them into song of matches beauty ant
sweetness-a poem of almost absolute per
lection. In his hands these seemingly for
bidding materials suddenly become strangely
sublimatcd and musical-put on literally
immortal beauty-a result which. it vert
hardly necessary to say, only transcenden
poetic genius could ever achieve"
My friend, Mr.. SAKE, himself one of thu
truest of poets, one of the most generous o.
natures, and, in his prime. one of the mos
genial of companions, and Incompatible o.
eonversationists, and inimitable OF humor
lists, though still living, has for many year,
been an invalid. Within few years las
past, he has lost the wife Of his youth, 6
lovely daughter and noble and promising
son.
