THE MOUNTAIN.

From lands OF sunshine gay with bloom
No took the northern course and came
To that great city which delights
Grim satire in Scattle's name.
a remnant weak, his people tako
The crumbs that from her table fall;
The past is theirs, the future hers
S. Who crowds them harshly to the wall.
Proudly she sits upon her hills,
Her various waters cleaning rOunu;
Her snowy crested mountains fair,
Soft mirrored In their blue profound.
But one, the top and crown of all,
High soaring far above the rest,
Bid in impenetrablc clouds
His towering head. his ample breast.
But, oh, at length morning dawned,
One moro divine earth never knew,
When better far than tale or dream
The mountain Glove the heavenly blue.
The mountain! All thc'snowy peaks
Which mountains seemed the day before,
That day were little hills. so high
We saw the highest climb and soar.
So hight So grand! And yet with an
So swcotly, delicately fair.
We had believed if one had said,
"a dream, phantom of the air.
And as the perfect day went by
More dreamlike still the mountain grew,
AS gathering mists. a purple zone,
Around his base their vesture drew
All white and pure from crown to foot
There floated in the azure deep
a hill of heaven, II mount of God.
1t made our hearts with gladncss leap.
The things of sense are types of soul.
How oft for many days the best
Is thick involved i'll clouds that chill
Mans heart within his lonely breastI
And then there comes day of days.
And floating bright in heavenly air
He sees the mount of God. all white
With fields OF faith and founts of prayer.
And by that glorious vision blest
He knows the peace that passeth thought.
God folds him TO his heart. His good
Is better than the best he sought.

Soa,74s miles In operation, because .here

the reason that these giant cities were then
either unfounded or at least insignificant
settlements. While the United States navy
consisted OF seventy-six vessels in ISL and
now consists of only fifty-three available

former were only wooden ships while the

Crawford's Freedom.
The crowning glory Of the Capitol is its
great white dome. Crawford's colossal
bronze statue Of Freedom, armed ard
helmeted, and gazing toward the rising sum-
is the fitting pinnacle to it, Few people are
aware Of the fact that Jefferson Davis Was
instrumental in substituting this helmet
for the liberty cap. which Crawford srigi-
nally designed for the figure. The incident
gave rise to much talk at the time aud
many said that Davis was opposed TO the
liberty cap being placed on the Capitol for
a sinister reason. Davis was Secretary Of
War at the time the designs were submit
ted by the sculptor. and he objected 10 the
cap on the ground that ii was the symbol
OF the freed slaves of ancient Greece He
preferred a helmet instead. explaining his
views in a communication addressed to
Capt. NJ c. Meigs, the officer in charge Of
the Capitol extension. This letter is now
on file in the War Department, under date
of January Is. 1885, and constitutes the only
correspondence on the matter. As to the
helmet Davis says:
why should not armed Liberty wear n
helmet? Her conflict being over, her cause
triumphant, as shown by the other en-
blems Of the statue, the visor would be up
30 as to permit, as in the photograph the
display of circle OF stars. expressive Of
endless existence and of heavenly birth
With these remarks I leave the matter to
the judgment of Mr.. Crawford, and need
hardly say to you, who know my very high
appreciation Of him, that 1 certainly would
not venture. on a question of art, to array
my opinion against his"
The views thus expressed were deemed SO
apt and weli-conceived that they We're car

some notable statistics, illustrating the
marvellous growth OF the republic in the
