Dewdr0ps of Wisdom.

Men are generally deserted in
adversely. When the sun sets
our very shadows refuse to follow
US.
Our sorrows are like the thunder
clouds, which seem black in the
distance, but grow lighter as they
approach.
Remember what world of Cos
sip would be prevented if it was
only remembered that person
who tells you of the faults of Others
intends to tell others OF your
faults.
A good man, who has seen much
of the world and is not tired of it
says: "The grand essentials tc
happiness in this life, are-some
thing to do, something to love, anc
something to hope for"
The thirsty man dreams of foun
tains and running streams; anc
the poor man of heaps of hidden
gold. Nothing certainly is more
magnificent than the imagination
of beggar. 1t is thus kind ma
ture consoles with shadows for the
lack of substance.
We are apt to believe i'll Provi
dence so long as we have our own
way; but if things go awry, then
we think, if there is God, ne IL
in heaven, and not on earth. The
cricket in the Spring builds his
house in the meadow, and chirps
for Joy, because all is going well
with him.

DRIVING THEM In. - Absence
from church in Glasgow, about a
century ago was a grave otfense,
and persons who were guilty OF it:
or of "playing or sauntering about"
were severely dealt with. The du-
ty of looking after such delin-
quents was imposed by the kirk
session on the magistrates and
ministers. These searchers or
"compurgators," as they were
called, were also employed in per-
ambulating the streets on Satur-
day nights, and when at the ap-
proach of twelve o'clock they heard
any noisy conviviality going on,
even in private clearinghouse
they entered and dispersed the
company. Another of their duties
was to perambulate the streets and
public walks during the time Of
divine service on Sunday, and
compel everyone they met abroad
not on necessary duty to go to
church.

A Hint to svolutionists.

The lobster has some ways in which
he is far superior to man. 1t NAH
has to lose an arm or leg it is gone
forever. But where he is so thqucky
the lobster thriftily stats another at
once, and only suffers a temporary
disability. There is matter for pro
found reelection here. The order N
articulates all have this faculty, and It
is pity to hose it as one goes higher
up in the seaie. Natural selections
ought always to retain the desirable
habits of whatever stages it passes
through, and we ought to have refor-
nation in this respect. How charm.
ing thing it would be for a warlilke
race, such as the Anglo'Saxon is, il we
could sprout another member for the
one that cannon-ball or a piece of
shell has carried away. Evolutionists
who have the real good of the race at
heart, ought to turn their attention to
this, find the spot where in the rising
scale this habit was lost, and go back
to that Rising and ,mrisen genera
tions would surely bless them for the
discovery.

The Ceilo Gordo Furnace.

Tue furnace at Cerro Gordo is nearly
finished. All the buildings are up
and nothing remains to be done but
putting in the water jackets. The
site selected by Super intendent A. NJ.
Wheeler and the general arrangement
OF the works show that he is thor
oughly competent manager of large
enterprises. The roads laid out for
the carriage of ores are evidence of
much engineering skill. The buildings
are so arranged that no lifting will be
required; everything will move down
hill from the time it first enters the
works. The engines and boilers are
of sufficient size to run additional
machinery should it be deemed neces-
sary to increase the capacity, and it is
thought that this Increase will soon be
needed. Large quantities of ore and
fiuxes are on hand and nothing can
prevent the successful working of the
furnace.
Some of the mines in the group
belonging to the Swansea Company,
which also owns the furnace, contain
very rich silver ore. In the Altamont
mine a three-feot vein was uncovered
last Wednesday. Every mine in the
group yields large amounts of rich
galena.
Cerro Gordo has not a promising
outlook, but an absolute certainty of a
season of great prosperity.

The New Postal Law.

Under the new postal law which
went into effect October LIST, and under
which the price of le,lcr postage is re.
duced to two cents, all letters must be
prepaid or they will not be forwarded
to their destination. The law has been
heretofore that one full rate, three
cents, would carry a letter to It's dcsii-
nation, leaving the receiver to pay
whatever balance might be due. But
this is now changed, and full rates
must be prepaid, be they two, four, six
or eight cents, or any amount, before
the letter can leave the home Office,
aud it will be well for all parties who
have been a tribe careless in the past
to remember this, as by so doing they
may save much delay, aggravation and
inconvenience in the future.
