A POOR MANS WEALTH.
J. wH1TCoMB RILEY.

A poor mani Yes must confess
No wealth Of gold do possess;
No pastures fine, with grazing kline,
Nor fields of waving grain are mine;
No foot of fat or rallow land
Where rightfully my feet may stand
The while / claim it as my own
BY deed and title mine alone.
All, poor indeedl perhaps you say
But spore me your compassion, prayi
When can't ride, with you, walk
In natures company, and talk
With one who will not slight or slur
The child forever dear to her
And one who answers back, be sure,
With smile for smile, though | am poor.
And while communing thus | count
An inner wealth of large amount
The wealth of honest purpose blent
With Penury's environment
The wealth Of owing naught to-day
DhN NVO'S 'nuI Wuuiu kluulN ldSJ
And wealth of thanks still unexpressed
With cumulative interest.
A wealth ofpatienoe and content
For all my ways improyldent;
a faith still fondly exercised
For all my plans uurealized;
A wealth Of promises that still,
However fail, l hope to fillj
A wealth Of charity for those
Who pity me my rugged clothes.
A poor man! Yes, must con fess,
No wealth Of gold do possess;
No pastures fine, with grazing kline,
Nor fields Of waving grain are mine
But, ah, my friend! I've wealth, no end
And milirnaires might condescend
To bend the knee and envy me

We are indebted TO Capt. Rock for a
handsome specimen Of pure white asbestos
which he brought In from Gen. Clarke's
mine in3 Kinsley District. Elko County.
This mineral. as the name indicates, is an
consumab,e. 1t is not affected at all by
subjection to any ordinary degree Of heat.
The finer variety Of asbestos, OF which we
take our present from Capt. Rock to be-
amianthus-has the luJ're OF white satin.
II IL remarkable for its structure. which is
that OF parallel ibres like threads laid
closely together. These are so flexible
that they can be separated aud spu and
woven into cloth. This material was long
since used for making fremen's clothes In
Milan. The ancients wrapped dead bodies
In II to be cremated. Some interesting
tests of Its indestructihility by Are have
been made in more modern times, but 1t
has not been in great demand. It occurs
In many places in Nevada and often In
other States OF the Union, but II Ia found
10 greater quantity or Staten Island. New
York, than anywhere else in the world. IL
10 found there sometimes in bundles
which furnish fbres three feet In length.
We do not believe that a mine OF asbestos
would be OF any particular commercial
value, as its uses are so few and the de-
mand for IL so slight. 1t is employed
mostly 10 the manufacture of lining for
dre-proof safes and OF flters for chemical
purposes. The total yield OF asbestos In
the United States for the year 1882 was
l 400 net tons, the value OF which at the
point OF production was $50. 900, or $50
per ton.
