Friend, Henry David Thsreaa

Henry David Thoreau, the son of q
maker of lead pencils at Concord, Mas
sachusetts, was born either in that place
or Boston July II, 1917. After gradn-
ating at Harvard University in 1887, he
taught for three years; but his love for
solitude led him to abandon that en-.
ployment and the remainder of his life
he devoted to study, working at one
trade or another only long enough to
earn enough for the bare necessities of
life. From March, 1857 he lived Is q
hermit on Walden Pond, near Concord,
having built his own house, and during
this time the expenses amounted to but
$40 per annum. He was ingenious and
could turn his hand to almost any work,
but nothing but want could draw him
from study. His favorite books we're
Homer and other ancient classic writer's,
the old English literature, and Oriental
poetry and philosophy. He wrote
much, but published little, and that
little "a Sc .mingly for, ed from him

in 1849 he published a book written

supplemented with observations of
plants and animals along the route.
His second book, Walden: or Life in
the Woods" appeared in 1854, after a
similarly long period Of delay. Both
works abound in the ansccndental
philosophy. which he shared in COM

Thoreau was in all his life exceedingly
eccentric. He never attended church,
voted, or paid taxes, and seldom ate
any meat. He died at Concord May 5,

Aner5cap Greatness

President Wilder, of the New Eng
land Historic-G Genealogical Society. Il
his annual address quoted the express
ions of eminent Englishmen in regard
to the greatness of America:
When speaking of the gresfness and
influence Of our country, with its aspi-
r%ations. suggestions and possibilities
Dean Stanley said: 1T cannot be real
lied until touched by the actual sight
of it. Then we feel that we are in the
presence of one Of those great creative
epochs of nations, . vast and heaven
ward inspiring destiny" "What is
America now 2" said Canon Farrar. OF
England. "A mighty civilization,
destined perhaps, to surpass our own, a
land of illimitable hopes, . boundless
continent! If glorious has been our
legacy to her. glorious, too, have been
her gifts to us. She has given us q type
at once of manhood. enthusiastic, prac-
teal, self-sacrifcing, prudent and
godly." Rev. DR.. Parker, of London,
when speaking of our country and its
institutions and possibilities, says:
America is more than . continent, it
is a little world!" Matthew Arnold,
who is at present in this country,
when speaking Of its influences under
Puritan discipline, says: ut has be-
come an incompatible and sll-trans-
forming remnant, and the common
topic of admiration for the world"
MI. Gladstone says: e" am
proud of America. America has
a territory fitted to be the largest con-
tinuous empire ever established by
man." Lord C~oleridge, when recently
here, said: II rejoice to see this indie
pendence and prosperity of your mid.

Of your country that strikes me most,
is the bigness ofthat sentiment which

The English Cambridge University.
"The United States has solved

a girl "breast-high amongst the corn"

The Rye is a stream near Ayr, Burns

Bernard's Challenge Labor Saving Laundry
Soap saves money, time, labor clothing, and is the
Best Soap they ever used. This generation has
now arrived at the period, when one good particu-
lar result is worth more than thousand schemes.
The people earnestly seeking for improvements,
and especially for methods for cheapenng all those
of our every day life This article has been improv-
others, and has triumphly passed the severest
ordeal of learned scrunity and is brought
before the public with this claim.
For washing clothes it is superior and preferable
to all other kinds of soap compound manufactur-
ed. 1t is the cheapest for all purposes, is easily
made and costs two cents per pound to make.
Instead OF having boiling water on the stove tor
three four hours, you simply scad the clothes for
few minutes, thereby saving nearly fourffths the
fuel and the disagreeableness of fire, suds and steam
Two or three cents worth is all that is required for
family of six eight persons and the clothes will
look whittier than if washed by the old process with
the best of soaps 1t will SO worth of soap
and fuel in the year. 1t is also excellent for wooden
goods and fannels. The main of wear and
tear of clothes is rubbing them board. To dis
pense with the rubbing is to the clothes After
a few times washing with the ''Challenge Soap
clothing will become whittier than ever.
For House Cleaning.-This is where our 'sChal
lenge Soap appeals to the real lady-ke house
keeper. Use it for scrubbing and cleaning 1t i
wonderful in its effects, it makes excellent suds
and housekeeping can be done with one-fourth tn
usual labor without injury to the paint or varnish
1t will leave the paint bright and clean new
Use it for washing paints, windows and mirrors
you dare not attempt to wash these with soft SOAP
For Laundry and Kitchen Use.-Just think n

Gen. Sherman is the ssman on
horseback in the background of
this contest. He did not vote for
Hancock four years ago, as some of
the Washington letter writer's report
to his prejudice. He is good enough
republican for any body, and is a
man of remarkable good sense and
sound views. We should rather take
our chances with General Sherman,
if it is not to be Blaine or Edmunds,
than with all the others boiled into
one. Independent newspapers may
talk about ignoring brass-bands and
torchlights and hurrah in a presi-
dental campaign, but when such a
compaign has a hero like Grant or
Sherman for it's leader, enthusiasm
is natural element of its irresistible
momentum. 1t can no more be sup
pressed than such candidate can be
defeated. With Sherman at the front,
his march to the White House would
be as irresistible and historic as his
march to the sea.-Telegraph.

DENVER, March %. Probably fif-
ty buildings were unroofed by yester-
DAVIS wind storm. About midnight
a portion of the rear wall of the Lin
dell Hotel was blown in, but the
guests of the house having been warn
ed of the danger escaped injury. The
Exposition Building was partially I'M
rooted. David Woodhave was struck
by falling wall and fatally injured.
A coach on the Circle Road was
blown from the track near Fleming
suburban station, and one passen-
ger was seriously hurt. The damage
throughout the city will probably not
exceed $4,000. The round house
at Sterling, on the Julesburg Short
Line, is reported blown down.

CULTURE OF PANsIEs.-To obtain
choice, large blossoms, pansies re-
quire very rich soil in somewhat
sheltered location. A bed which has
been used as a hot-bed the previous
season and has been left over, makes
an excellent place for them. Either
of the following methods of growing
plants will be found successful: Sow
the seed in box of rich, soil about
the LIST of April, and set in a sunny
window. About the middle of May
transplant them into the bed where
they are to blossom. Another way
is to SOW the seeds in a bed where
| they are to blossom about The 1st of
September, and on the approach of
freezing weather cover them with
warm straw manure Or they. may
be sowed in any bed of good soil and
treated in the same manner. They
will come out fresh and strong in the
spring, and can be left to grow, OIL
may be transplanted to any desired
location. Good seed, rich soil and
good care bring fine blossoms.

A Farmers Sigh.

Come tardy spring pray thee, make
A little haste, for the farmers sake,
A portion of this snow do take,
That to the hip,
They plod not for the sugar cake,
But lightly trip.
Though introduced in winters dressing,
With furious breath his snow caressing,
Allied with him, 'twould seem distressing
Were this thy end.
But soon his chilling hand depressing,
Be thou our friend.
o, come with genial warmth, unseal
The frosty barn, that kline may feel
Within their lodge some comfort steal;
Long have they felt
Around their frames the breath CONCEAL,
o! let it melt.
o speed along on wifter feet,
Temper the air with thy mild heat.
Fen flock and herd have naught to eat,
But hungry stand
And wistfully the shepherd meet
With empty hand.
Or, if thy coming be on wing,
Come with the merry birds that sing
The song of hope, to hands that fling
Into the soil
Their seed, and wait for time to bring
Reward for toll.
OF thy delay cut short the hours
With balmv air and warming showers;
Unlock the door and break the powers
Of winter night,
And let the long imprisoned flowers
Again see light.
Summer sits calmly waiting for thy face,
Nor can the fields with beauty grace,
An6 autumn must retreat apace
If thou delay;
Be not laggard in the race
Our wish obey.
