Gold Paonle.

1t is the nature of some people to
gush. Heaven endowed them with
large emotional apparatus. They have
warm affections, grow excited at trifies,
embrace you with fervency, pledge eter-
nal friendship. and mean, for the time
being, all. their vows of constancy.
Doubtless they fill necessary place in
the world, serving to give warmth and
color to those aspects in social life that
would otherwise seem cold and bare.
They generally belong, however, to that
class OF people who experience consid-
cradle variations of temperament. They
have their high days and low ones,
their moods of exaltation and depres-
sion. They are in glaring contrast to
the cold and equable people, those vari-
able people, those variable compounds
who are never put out, never enthusias-
tic, never tlurried, never goaded into
delicious indiscretions. These are the
kind of people who are apt to make life
a success. Their temperamental cool
ness enables them to organize lcisurely,
without being perturbed by the fiutter
of emotion. They sit still and calcu-
late while the rest of the world is
scorched with fever heat or writhes like
snake in the flames. 1t is the cold
people who keep their heads above wa
ter while their neighbors drown, and
put snug little sums of money in the
bank while their friends are starving.
1t may be answered that cold people
excite esteem but. not love. That is
nothing against them. 1t is often very
comfortable not to be loved. This love
is frequently an agony. At the very
least, to be loved by some one whose
passion you cannot return, is an annoy
ance. You feel that you are doing them
an injury, while, at the same time, you
are quite conscious that you are not.
You experience an inconsistent remorse
for an impossible crime. That is. pro-
vided you are not a cold person your
self. One of the beauties of being cold
is that while you are totally Indifferent
as to whether you excite affection or
not, you may be aware of having done
so in a few exceptional cases, and yet
remain wholly irresponsive and wholly
unconcerned about their irresponsive-
ness. If you are cold person, with
good digestion, you are on the high road
to happiness, for you will be free from
two of the principal causes of suffering
in this world-namely, dyspepsia and
over sympathy with others. You will
have none of those momentary and &C.
static thrills which flash through the
emotional nature. But you will 60
through life with nice, comfortable
torpidity of soul, for which you ought
to thank mother nature.

Arizona's Bullion product.

The increase in the development 6
Arizona's mineral riches. at shown by
che production for the Last yesr, ap-
proaches the extraordinary. From the
statistics of the bullion output collected
by journals Of the Territory. 1t appears
likely that Arizona will rank third
among the States and Territories in the
production of gold, silver. copper, and
lead. The hills among which nd
Scheiffelin was warned he would find
his tombstone" have In 1889 risen to
a position second only 10 Leadville rs
centre Of silver production. The figures
given for the product Of the Tombstone
district in silver and gold during the
year are S., 202,87s. The yield q the
Silver King and other districts amounts
to &2,054, 1873, which, with other esti-
mated products, makes the value Of the
silver and gold produced sS.757 .000.-
The value of the copper bullion turned
out was S2,945. 254. The total produc-
ton of silver, gold and copper in Arizo-
na during 1882, therefore, amounts to
$11, 702. ao3.
Thus far the Territory appears to be .
country Of small mines. At Tombstone
peculiar series of blanket deposits is
found in the lime formation; and mine
relying upon deposits. even when they
are dignifed with the name of '.miner-
allied zones" seldom yields for very
long time. Some of the Tombstone
mines are already practically exhausted
as is the case with mines on Fryer Hill
at Leadville; but new mines are eontin-
ually being opened up, and the total
output of the district is likely to show
an increase rather than q falling of.

Fluctuations in Fortune.

The marshals of Napoleon Bonaparte
were generally men of humble origin;
they came up from the ranks. The
same may be said of many of the most
noted Americans of the last halfcentury.
Abraham Lincoln was a rail splitter,
Andrew johnson an illiterate tailor.
who was taught his letters by his wife,
James A. Garfield, as a boy, held the
reins of mule to tow canal boat.
Jay Gould commenced as a cowboy in
Columbia County, New York, and when
he first came to the metropolis it was to
sell patent mouse-trap. James R, Keene
drove milk wagon in Sacrament.
Rufus Hatch commenced his career by
selling Garden sass, D. Appleton kept
a country grocery store. Henry Willard
was ten-dollar-a-week reporter, II. B.
Clafiin was Vermont school teacher,
the parents of Charles O'Conor were
very poor Irish people, Peter Cooper
was hatter's apprentice, and VIM. H.

Kicked Him, but Gould Not Insult Him.
That man to whom you sent me, in
suited me, said a young drummer, who
had only been few months in the bus
mess, to his trainer in large house in
this city. i.
''Insulted you," reiterated the train
er, with an expression of contempt al
most sufficient to make the novice sink
into the floor.
"Were you never insulted?" timidly
responded the young man.
'sEever, sir; not even during the per-
iod OF my novitiate, which I passed
through very rapidly, and 1 have been
twenty years in the business.
That is very strange" " said the novice
skeptically.
Every strange if you don't under

drummer. 81 have been often badly

A Sniritnalistin Trick,

Some time ago, at a spiritualistic
seance-the genuine article-a fiery
hand was seen waving overhead in the
darkness, rushing from end to end OF
the room with incredible swiftness, now
high, now low, and occasionally shifting
people on the cheek with the cold, clam
my contact of corpse. In spite OF the
mediums stringent injunctions that no
one should move, a gentleman clutched
this awful apparition as it swept past
him, and, regardless of protestations
and threats, refused to let it go until the
lights were turned up. Then the mes
senger from the other world proved to
be nothing more supernatural than a
dirty, white kid glove, rubbed with
phosphorus and stuffed with wet tow,
this, at the end of thin line, was sus-
pended from fshing-rod which could
be reduced telescopically to length
convenient for the pocket. Thus the
medium could cause al manner of APP
palling manifestations without rising
from his chair. Cha;a6ers' Journal.

The Fortunate Duke of Edinburgh.

The private estates of the Duke Of
Saxe-C -Coburg, which will pass to the
Duke of Edinburgh, afford some of the
best shooting in Europe, for the sport in
the Dukes Thuringian forests is no.
where surpassed in Germany. Every
species of game bred is to be found
there; but the wild boar is the great
feature, and the thiergarten in which
these animals are preserved is as large
as an ordinary deer park, and is en-
closed by strong and high stockade,
the whole being left entirely wild.
There are numerous dens among tho
brushwood, which the boars themselves
have constructed and there are feeding
places, to which the keepers go twice a
day to scatter food. The animals are
summoned by the blowing of horn, but
they are so regular in their habits that
they are usually to be found in the
neighborhood of the pens at the ap-
pointed time. There are about dozen
wild boar preserves in various parts OF
the duchy Visitors to the Rhine will
find a beautifully situated thiergarten
just beyond the platte-the famous
white hunting lodge on the top of the
wooded hills behind Wiesbaden-and
there is another large one few miles
from Munich,

Oorne1ius Vanderbilt's House,


Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt is in hard
luck. 1t is great thing to be Van
derbilt and to have beautiful house of
your own. But, after all, it is happi-
ness not unmixed with drawbacks
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbiltis is very proud
of her house. Next to that of the old
mans it is undoubtedly the most beau
tiful of the Vanderbilt mansions. She
moved in few months ago and ex-'
pressed the utmost delight at her new
residence. Probably none of the family
is so popular as Cornelius Vanderbilt.
He and his wife are what humble folks
call :'home bodies" He is Superintend-
ent of the Trinity Chapel Sunday-School
and the least affected and most cordial
of all the Vanderbilt tribe. He is also
a member of the Young Mems Christian
Association. Mrs. Vanderbilt had
scarcely moved into her new house and
become comfortably settled when she
was obliged to take up everything aud
move out again. The removal was
caused entirely by the ignorance orlack
of foresight of the architect. In build
| ing the house a new process for preserv-
ing the planks of the floors was used
| The. flooring in the entire mansion from
cellar to roof was covered with some
strong smelling stuff which, it was said,
would harden the wood like iron and eff
fectually prevent any shrinking. This
was all well enough until the furnaces
and the great fires in the house were
lighted, when an offensive odor was at
once noticed. 1t increased as the heat
increased, until the house became abso-
! lutely uninhabitable. 1t was long
time before they could find out the
cause of the odor, and when they did
consultations were held, but it was
found there was nothing to be done but
to move out, tear. up the flooring, ano
lay down fresh planks.

A Word for the Razs on 'Ghange.

A country journal, in referring to the
handsome contributions of the members
of the Stock Exchange to the Ohio
Flood Fund, says. ''This is right and
Just. After skinning everybody they
could get their hands on, it was but an
act of duty to provide raiment for theil
former victims. - This quotation goes
to show that the late Horace Greeley's
idiots are still editing some of the
country journals. The members of the
Stock Exchange are not engaged in
"skinning' anybody. They are simply
agents, employed as lawyers or doctors
are employed. 1t is of very little con-
sequence to them whether they buy OF
whether they sell. Take them all in all,
there is not brighter, a more intelli-
gent, or more generous body of men
in the worldly. Y. Hour.

And may / dare to think some small regret will

Around your heart, perhaps.

Must be a love like mine, which has no power

know it seems to you but a senseless freak,
Yet, ii you knew my passions strength, and
so weak,
You'd pity me, perhaps.
And though my love is vain,
And may never hope to share your cup of
bliss,
Yet, dear heart, may entertain thought like
That, dying, might crave the boon of one poor
kiss,
A friendly kiss, perhaps?
Perchance among your dreams,
Nf earlier visions fade and vanish not too fast
May hoat the misty fragrance of distant past,
The wakened joys of which shall touch your
heart at last,
Just at the last, perhaps.
And may dare to hope
Not that the joy which makes another's lot di-
vine
Shall ever in remotest measure, come to mine,
But that linger in a passing thought of thine,
A kindly thought, perhaps.

this country when he said, in con-

they could not hurt her, and she would

while he stayed. 1t was happy meet
