The Three Guides.
Editor Mirror:

Editor Mirror:
l have noticed a number of articles in
THE MIRROR having for their object the
leading of young men into the higher walks
of life. So, being unfortunate like the
rest, l will endeavor to do the best can in
giving to my companions three guides-a
sound head, an honest heart and an humble
spirit. These are the three best guides, and
with these. safety will be ours under all cir
cumstances.
Correct thinking and accurate knowledge
are two attendants of sound mind. Pro-
fOundness of mind is an invaluable gift, and
has been given to but few. Yet in every
Now, to my way of thinking, in the mind
of man there is found three faculties: men,
DRY, judgment and reason. the fruit of each
depending upon the amount of culture Civ
Ell it.
The faculty of retaining ideas in the
mind is the source of numberlesS blessings
and pleasures, which are often not appreci-
ated. Some have wonderful memories.
perfection as an English historian and essay
list, was one of those men in whom was plant
ed the choice seeds of memory With this
natural ability he had nothing to prevent
him from becoming fine scholar. Thomas
Carlyle, another noted author, was man
of quick, sound judgment-a lover OF
good and hater of evil Sydney Smith,
one of the wittieSt of men, was admitted
by McCauley to have been sound reasOner
SO, my kind readers, you can see by
these facts that these seeds were plentifully
sOwn in these men and became equally de-
velOped But very rare are the cases in
which all these faculties are strong in any
one person.
This cultivation of the mind is an occu-
patton in which many are engaged, yet by
too many it is entirely neglected The i'm
prOvement of the mind by study, important
as it is, is not OF as much consequence
neither is it as difficult, as the cultivation
of the heart Here we are assigned the la
borious task of pulling weeds as well as the
more pleasant one of sowing seeds. Now,
just look at it. For instance if the man
who obtains license for the sale OF ntOX-
eating liquors, were truly and honestly to
set forth the nature and effect of his bust
ness, what singular advertisement would
he present? Could an honest person look
such business in the face and still con-
tinue it? l answer for one, no: a thousand
times no.
The road to honesty. in my humble way
of thinking, should not be by the road of
policy, but by the way of truth and right,

Ray"

Miss Maggie Mitchell's new play, Ray,
wa produced for the first time at Provi-
dence, R l., April 10, and was an in
Simultaneous success. The story is clear,
consistent, strong and interesting; it de-
velopes naturally, and the dialogue is
sharp, bright and generally pointed and
well written. The climaxes are well led
up to and effective, and are certain to
cause a demand for the reraising of the
curtain wherever the play is produced.
The characters are drawn from life, and
with considerable skill, and are well con-
trasted, and the tone and atmosphere of
the piece are healthy and pleasantly ex-
citing. Ray will be presented at the
opera house Saturday evening.
Fdnchon the Cricket is the bill for Fri
day, the opening night. 1t has never be-
fore been played in Cheyenne by Maggie

You cannot afford to waste time in ex-

ger. Consumption always seems, at first,
only a Geld. Do not permit any dealer to
impose upon you with some cheap imita-
ton of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, but be
sure you get the genuine. Because he
can make more profit he may tell you he
has something Just as good, or just the
same. Don't be deceived, but insist upon

There were some pretty lively scenes
during the recent sessions of the Presby-
terrain synod, and the spectators were
thoroughly convinced that after all minis
tiers greatly resembled ordinary mortals.
On n occasion a delegate remarked !:
that while he would not question the
veracity of the brother, he was constrained
to say that the brother had drawn upon
his Imagination.
AT another time Vice. Moderator Lee
Was in the chair and rebuked a delegate
who did not address the presiding officer
on rising. That's quite unnecessary"

Switchman Goode Loses Two Fingers in
Coupling.

Ed Goode, a young switchman, was
the victim of an accident which occurred
in the Union Pacific yards, directly in front
of the depot last evening. Goode was
standing at the west end of a fiat car pre-
pairing to make a coupling and was sig
Mailing to his engine to approach
when a caboose attached to a
freight train headed east was backed
against the other end of the car.
The car was thrown violently against the
engine and the first and second fingers of
Goodies left hand almost entirely severed.
He did not anticipate the interference of
the train and was entirely off guard in
that direction.
Drs. Grimes and Maynard dressed the
hand and Goode was taken to Denver last
evening. He will lose the two fingers in.
Dictated. Goode, who is a physical giant,
paled and moaned while the surgeons
operated.
The injured man is one of the striking
Burlington switcbmen and has been fore
man of a switch engine here for two
months. His parents reside in Des
Moines. Goode is a generous, iovial
young man, sober and industrious and
has made many friends since his advent
in Cheyenne.

Mrs. 4. Mason Smith, librarian of the
county library, will begin a new literary
enterprise on Saturday next which prom
ises to add much to the pleasure of those
who wish to keep abreast of the times in
literary matters. The enterprise in ques-
ton consists in the fitting up on the
ground floor of Keefe's new hall of a cosy
reading room supplied with all the lead
ing magazines like the Century, Serb
ner's, Lippincott' and Harper's; the re-
views, such as the North American, the
Fortnlghtly, Westminster and Contem,
porary: SPECIAL publications on arts, science
and general literature Ike the Scientific
American, Art Interchange, The Writer,
Public Opinion, Forum, Popular Science
Monthly and a number of others. The
reading room will be open on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays until 9 in the
evening. Subscribers will have the
privilege of taking home between days on
which the reading room will be open,
copies of the reviews. The membership
fee entitling the subscriber to the privil-
eyes of the reading room will be very
small and will afford an opportunity of
perusal of all of the best literature of the
day at an exceedingly low cost.
