ROMANCE OF THE GOLDEN SHORE.

A story about which there is fas-
cination which it is impossible to re-
sist when you hear men tell it, is that
of the Home of Gold" Some
where in Southwestern New Mexico,
in the Sierra Madre, it is said there
is a wonderful valley. Small, inclosed
in high rocky walls and accessible
only by a secret passage which is
known to but few. is this extraordi
nary place. 1t is about ten acres in
extent, has running through it a
stream, which waters it thoroughly
and makes it perfect paradise, with
its exquisite flowers and beautiful
trees. In it are thousands of birds
of the most beautiful plumage. Run
ming across it is a ledge of pure gold
about 80 feet wide, which glistcns
IN the sunlight like a great golden
belt. The stream crosses this ledge,
and ,as it truns,murmurs around blocks
of yellow metal as other streams do
around pebbles. The ledge of gold
is supposed to be solid gold and to
run down into the center of the
earth. The legend is of Indian
origin, and around it clusters a num-
Der of Indian stories, in which the
name of the eillustrious Montezuma oc-
ours frequently The descendants
of the Aztecs believe firmly that the
day will come when Montezuma will
return and free them from the
dominion of the descendants of the
COnquestodores. They believe that
the money necessary for this work
will be taken from the Madre dOro.
The secret of the entrance into the
valley is carefully guarded by a tribe
of Indians living near it, and among
them it is only communicated to the
Oldest man, amid the solemn ceremo-
nies of the medicine lodge. Having
such a story to work upon there is
little wonder that the vivid imagina-
ton of the Mexicans should have
built upon tales of men, who have
found this wonderful place. One is
that certain Jose Alvaraz, while
wandering through the mountains in
search of game, saw the valley from
the top Of the wall. Finding that he
could not hope to enter by climbing
down, he took up his abode with the
Indians who guard the canyon lead
ing into it. The daughter Of the chief
fell in love with him and betrayed
the secret to him. Exactly how she
found it out they do not tell. Hav-
ing been shown the entrance, Jose
went in and would possibly have
gotten away with some of the gold
had he not weighed himself down to
such an extent that he could not get
up the declivity at the lower end of
the passage. He was discovered and
the Indians sacrificed him on the
golden ledge with all the terrible Ger
emonies of the old Aztec religion.
She, in despair of losing him, threw
herself from the high walls into the
valley below. Hundreds of prospec-
tors have spent months of toll trying
to find the Madre dOro, but, it is
scarcely necessary to say, without
result-La Cruces Republican.

MARRIAGE ON A SMALL INCOME.

Again and again has the question
been discussed as to whether q young
couple can venture to marry on a
small income. One young husband
says:-"It does seem to me that $3.50
a year is ample for two people to live
on. 1t, of course, depends largely
upon the dispositions Of the persons;
but young man and woman of good
common sense and economical habits
ought to lay up money with that in
come. Nine dollars q week looks
small, but let me make a little cal
culation: Fifty-two weeks at 50 per
week amounts to $46S. Rent for So
weeks, $120. Living for 50 weeks,
sos. Clothes for 50 weeks, 500.
That leaves a balance of $40. The
balance for incidentals, medicines,
etc. This is my wife's last years &C.
count in brief, and what has been
done can he done. We do not, how
ever, eat rs cents worth of meat at
one meal, (but We have all we want and
the best), nor do we dress in broad
cloth or silks and satins, but our
clothes are good and substantial, and
compare favorably with the dress of
our neighbors, and we live in a re
spectacle neighborhood. l do not
say this to brag, but it does seem to
me that husband and wife who
wished could get along on 50 week.
My wages are now $12 a week, or
1924 year. Out of this, 1 expect,
Providence permitting, to save $500
this year toward a home" Now this
is rather hopeful picture for young
folk, and proves that young couple,
or an old couple, can live, pay rent,
and clothe themselves for a small sum
weekly. Tens of thousands Of them
have to do it in the United States for
less than Sc week for each, and an
income as limited as that need not be
an insurmountable obstacle to q
young couple joining themselves in
matrimony, provided they understand
and are willing to accept the conse-
quences. For Sc per week people
can only expect houses or rooms,
clothing and fare which that sum can
provide. If they have been accus-
toned to living on a scale twice as
great land that is very modest) they
must expect privations, or what they
regard as such. No matter how ex-
cellent the management, a certain
income can only insure a certain liv-
ing, made good, bad or Indifferent by
the economy. or lack of economy,

WHOLE NUMBER I15O.
THE GIRL.

4 country girl writes sensibly:-
We in the country do not know much
about the fashionable city girl, and
are perhaps more ready to condemn
her faults than We would be if we
were better acquainted. But l do
not see but that the race of girls NIL
the world over is pretty much the
same; their souls seem to develop
nobiy and grandly under some cir
cumstances, and to be narrowed and
distorted under others And l do
not see but that taking into consider
alton their opportunities and sur
roundings, the girls out of town are
Just as frivolous, as fond of dress,
and as willing to shirk their duties
as those in town. But the frivolity
IN both cases can often be traced to
good spirits and effervescence, which
is like the froth on soda water, un-
substantial but piquant: the love of
pretty things is born in and with
them. and the evading of responsi-
bilities often comes from mere
thoughtlessness. 1t seems perfectly
natural for girls to be full of frolic
and fun, and they ought not to be
expected to take sober views of life
bef-re they have tried and under
stand its responsibilities; yet under
all the gaiety and gay nonsense we
often find good deal Of right prin
ciple and generous self sacrifice. l
think. too, that if mothers would take
more pains to instill a proper senti-
ment into the minds of their girls re-
specting the character of young men
with whom it is safe for them to as
sociate, ''fast" young men would be
less popular. But too mary mothers
never have anything to say on the
subject until their girls begin to 90
into society, when if a young man
not quite correct in his department
begins to pay any attention, by their
injudicious personalities and unwlse
opposition they rouse spirit of re-
ballion on both sides, which hurries
on state Of feeling which otherwise
would not come at all, perhaps. The
training in right views should have
been begun before the girls were old
enough to go out. And if mothers
and fathers would go more with
their young folks. and not leave them
so much to choose their own friends
and associates, parents and children
would have much less to regret. I
do not believe it is right to let girl
choose her own company without a
word of guidance. and then blame
her because in Der inexperisnce and
thoughtlessness she accepts atten-
tions from dissipated young men. or
perhaps marries one Of them. SThe
girls we meet" would be good deal
more earnest, conscientious, and
right-minded if the girls our fathers
met had taken more pains to bring
them up.

General Ewart, in his autobio-

ton of the sensations he experienced
when his left arm was carried away
by cannon-ball at Cawnpore:
while standing between two Of

which merely hung by a thin piece of
skin. I was aware that l had been
violently struck on the left side, but
did not know what had actually taken
place until l looked down and saw
the bleeding stump. The blow did
not knock me down, nor did I feel
any inclination to fall; but a soldier
of the Ninety-third, named Peter
M'Kay, ran up at once, and tied his
handkerchief tightly round the
stump. Captain Burroughs. who
was in command of the nearest com
pany, and others, also kindly came to
my aid, and l was carried off to a
bungalow. which had been converted
into a field hospital

SAN GABRIEL MISSION.

In the plain, Just Under the edge
of the mountains, lies the cd village
and mission church Of San Gubriel.
The mission dates from 176I. 1t
was founded, like Ill the other mis-
sions OF Californis, by frials sent out
from tho college Of San Fernando.
III the city Of Mexico l well r.
collected the ecclesiastical buildings
Of this college of San Fernando.
They stand yet on the principal
street which was the scene of Cor
teZ's disastrous retreat from the city.
and are marked, l believe. with an
INSCRIPTION colnmemurating the site
of the famous Leap of Alvarado. The
buildings founded from this pictur
esque source are thoroughly worthy
OF 1t. The same massiveness, the
same taste for bright color, the same
quaint rocco details. including the
peculiar battlement, which was kind
of Spanish horn of dominion. At
this one six green old bronze bells
hang in as many inches together.
The fern like shadows of a line of
pepper trees print themselves in the
sunshine against the time-stained
white wall. No more than the church
now remains, the great agricultural
establishments connected with these
missions having been swept away
years before the American occupation
by edict of the Mexican government.
Some bits of broken aqucduct, and a
few orange trees above hundred
years old, i'll what was once the mis-
sion garden, arc the only vestiges Of
former prosperity. The interior of
the church contains few battered
old religious paintings, always of the
worst type Of their kind. 1t is doubt
full if the luxury of good pictures was
ever superadded in these establish
ments to the excellent architecture,
for which there seems to have been
natural instinct.
The village is piquantly foreign.
Its single street is composed entirely
OF white adobe houses. One of them,
with tumbling red-tiled roof, is SO
full of holes that it looks as if it had
been shelled. All the signs are in
Spanish. Here is the Zapetero, or
shoemaker, and here the Panaderia,
or bakery. The south walls are hung
with drapery of red peppers drying
in the sun to prepare the favorite
condiment. The population are
humble class, who gain their hveli
hood for the most part by day labor
on the surrounding estates They
are not too poor, however, to retain
their taste for festivity still. On the
occasion Of some notable wedding
they will manage to mount on
horseback. and surrounding a bridal
carriage d,'iven position fashion, re
turn from the ceremony at the old
mission whooping and firing pistols

way that the surfaces of tho colors

fists, it is said. have tried the medium
for ordinary oil-painting ON canvas.

A WONDERFUL SHEET OF WATER
Lake Tahoe is one of the most Won
derful bodies of water in the world.
which lies at an altitude of 621S feet
above the level Of the sea. 1t is %
miles long and 15 wide, in the form
of parallelogram, lying northeast
and southwest, partly in California
and partly in the State of Nevada.
The greatest depth yet found is 1900
feet. The water is SO transparent
that trout can be seen at the bottom.
where tho depth is from 50 to 100 feet.
Owing to the altitude and rarity of
the atmosphere the water has little
buoyancy. Nothing is ever seen
floating on the lake, except the beau
tiful little steamers and pleasure and
fishing boats. The bodies of persons
drowned in this lake never rise-aro
never seen again. The entire dis
tance around the Lake is LA miles.

1t is claimed that the richest mines
of zinc in the United States are in
north New Jersey. The mines at
Franklir and Ogdensburg are capi-
tallzed at $1,000, 900, and pay regular
and large dividends. The late Moses
Taylor, it is claimed, amassed the
bulk of his enormous wealth from
these mines, owned by him originally.
Sussex county claims to be the home
of zinc, and capitalists from all parts
of the country have for years Eecn
prospecting there for this rare and
valuable metal. There are four mines
OF zinc in the county that are devel
oped, and one undeyeloped property
owned by citizen of Washington.

THR PURITAN MIGRATIoN-The o.
600 English Puritans who came over
to New England before the meeting
Of the Long Parliament have now in
creased to nearly 13.O0O,0OO. Ac-
cordinS to the most careful estimates,
at least onefourth Of the whole pop
ulation of the United States at the
present moment is descended from
these men. Striking as this fact may
seem, it is perhaps less striking than
the fact of the original migration
when we stop to contemplate it in its
full meaning. In these times, when
great steamers are sailing every day
from European ports, bringing hun
dreds of emigrants to a country which
is at least us far advanced in material
civilization as the country which they
leave, the arrival of thousand new
citizens each day has come to be a
commonplace event But in the sew
cnteenth century the transfer of o.
600 we'll to do people within twenty
years from their comfortable homes
in England to the American wilder
ness was by no means u common
place event. 1t assumed somewhat
the character Of the migration of a
whole people. In the quaint thought
of some of our forefathers themselves
it was aptly likened to the exodus of
Israel from the Egyptian house Of
bondage.

A ROMANCE OF THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.
Lucy Hooper, in a letter from
Paris to a Philadelphia paper. says:
Il WAS recently told by an English
lady Il romantic and melancholy
story relative to the death of the
Prince Imperial. She said that the
luckless youth had fallen passionate
ly in love with a young English girl
of surpassing beauty, the daughter
of London tradesman. His love
was returned, but the girl was rs
virtuous as she was fair, and the En-
press greatly feared that her son
would do what he threatened
namely, bcstow his hand on this low
born maiden. When his mother re-
monstrated with him. he turned
upon her with some home truths re-
specting the Montijo family, and the
difference in rank between herself
and his father And 80 the Empress
planned for him that fatal expedi
ton with the English army which
ended in so tragic a fashion. Among
tho articles taken from the poor boys
dead body and brought to his mother
was a picture in a small morocco
case which he had worn upon his
breast, and which was stained with
his life blood 1t was the portrait of
the girl he had loved"
