in a principal street two soldiers,

before them two galley slaves, link

BUSINESS PROSPECTS.
Boston Advertiser.

What is the prospect 1t is good
and in some respect it is excellent.
The low quotations in the invests
ment market are an element of
strength fully sustained by the earn
ing capacity of shares. The coun-
try is richer than it was a year ago;
consequently its power of cOnsump>
ton is greater. The losses inflicted
by the floods are great and absolute,
and further losses of the same kind
may be unavoidable. But the rela>
ton of these losses to the wealth Of
the country is very slight. Besides
this, all foreign countries report an
expansion of trade. France, Ger
many and Great Britain have done
more business, foreign and domestic,
during the year 1882, than ever be-
fore, and the great East, including
India and China, shows greater ca
pacity for trade than it has 10 recent
years. The fall in the price of sill
YER has stimulated trade in both of
these countries, and the effect upon
the trade of the world can not but
bs direct and benefcient. Finally,
we begin an agricultural season Of
very fair promises. Winter has
done it's worst, and it has not been
intolerable. As spring advances,
then, hope and good spirits may we'll
revive, and encourage is to do that
which makes cities rich and coun>
tries great-work, save, and operate
firmly.

A Salt Lake on Top of Mountain.

There is q remarkable salt lake, sit
uated one hundred and fifty miles
west and south Of Albuquerque, in
New Mexico, and about fifty miles
from the Arizona line. The lake is
located on the top Of a volcanic noun
tain, and evidently occupies an extinct
crater. The lake is, perhaps, three
quarters of a mile in diameter. and il
so strongly impregnated with salt, that
a thick crust Of pure white salt Of a
spongy consistency, like floating ice,
cncrusts the margin. II is so plentiful
that it is carried away by the wagon
load. II has been long used by the
Indians. The salt is white. of the
purcst quality and destitute Of sand or
any foreign ingredient. The texture
is porous, much like CONCEALED white
foam. There was one specimen in
closing the stem Of some vegetable and
could be handled like an apple by it's
stem. But the most curious feature
Of this lake is a tall circular column.
Of monumcnt-shapcd formation. which
rose mp near the centre Of the lake to
the height Of one hundred feet. and
which appeared to be made OF white
lava, thrown up by some cnnyulsiun
during some ancient geological period
The outside of this singular column
slope,i from the base toward the top
and was rough enough t. be asccndcd

sparse rays Of light which penetrated
this huge tube, and were reflected
from the smooth. mirror-like surface
of the water. \ party with some diff
hculty descended the projecting sides
of the bowl. and they found no incrGs-
tation Of salt on the surface like that
on the outside. but on thrusting the
hand into the water and Withdrawing
it, the hand came out perfectly white
from the particles Of salt that adhered
to it. 1t was evidently very strong

There is woman whose whole
nature is beautiful, and, being beauti-
full is noble, Chaste and true; whose
life is the outward expression Of the
inward thought, and who cannot
choose but set forth the lesson of love
illness drunk in with her very being;
whose mind makes itself seen as much
in the graceful fashion of her dress as
in the sweet words which fall from her
lips, as much in the rhythmic Offering
of her household rs in the glorious
teachings of her children. Such a
woman gathers round her forms of
beauty, both outward as well as spirit
ual, as flowers gather dew by night to
fashion it into living food by day.
She is never heard to use a vulgar
word. never known to do a graceless
deed, nor seen to prefer a meaner
taste. Her soul is noble lyric set TO
gentle music. low. sweet chant with
words of love for the cathedral verses.
This is the woman who cleyates and
puries. and whose lessons of beauty
and outward harmony have deeper
meaning than lies on the surface, and
spring from a nobler source than mere
artistic taste.-ProrideHce JournaL
