To Keen the Feet Warm.

down in any barber shop or tonsorial ar

the subject OF cold feet was brought up
incidentally and the remedies were given
ad Hbitunt by those in process Of shaw
ing and those waiting their turn. After
a score or so OF remedies had been nam
ed, which took In all those generally
used, one gentleman startled the as
sembly by proposing oak leaves. He had
known them to be tried in the lumber
district Of Pennsylvania with excellent
results, the lumbermen filing their boots
10 the morning with them, and at night
taking them out and drying them for the
next day. After moment Of suspense,
when everyone seemed to be INDUCING
doubts about the feasibility OF such pro-
cess, cloudburst OF dissent occurred and
the theory OF oak-leaves as pulse warmers
for the feet and ankles was swept into
oblivion. "Where would they get oak

The Wanderer.

Upon the mountain height, far from the sea,
found shell.
And to my listening ear the lonely thing
Ever a song of ocean seemed to sing,
Ever a tale of ocean seemed to tell.
How came. the shell upon that mountain
height7
All, who can say
Whether there dropped by some too careless
hand,
Or whether there cast when Ocean swept the
Land?
Ere the Eternal had ordained the Day?
Strange, was it not? Far from its native deep,
One song il sang
Sang of the awful mysteries of the tide,
Sang of the misty sea, profound and wide
Ever with echoes of the ocean rang.
And as the shell upon the mountain height
Sings of the sea,
So do ever, leagues and leagues away
So do ever, wandering where may
Sing, my home sing, o my home of
thee. Eugene Field.

A Coal Find.

Samuel Moore, who recently discovered
deposits OF coal, or something of that ma
ture, on field Of twenty .lhrec acres, on
the old Moses g. Quick farm in Pleasant
Valley, received letter on the Goth inst +,
from II. l.. Trent, of Bayonne, who is an
expert on such matters, saying he had ex-
amined the specimen and was sure II there
was much of a deposit, it would be worth
looking into. The cold weather has
stopped all work on excavation aud moth
ing will be done antil spring. A number
OF gentlemen of our city are anxious to
form a stock company and furnish capital
to operate, but Mr.. Moore will not do any
thing towards organizing company I'M

poets then he Gays he will aci. Several
miners have been there and looked at the
find and all pronounce the indications

1t is singular thing in connection with
the discovery that II came about through
the fundamentally of dream. 1t APP
pears from the story as reported by the
dreamer, that some fifty years ago there
we're people who prospectcd and dug for
coal about two hundred yards above the
spot where he has located it, and in this
dream he saw just what they had done /;
then after another nap and another dream,
he was led, or as he puts II, II was reveal
ed to him where the coal actually is. He
went the next morning and sat on the
rock as directed, and with his ak COM
menced breaking pieces off the surround
Ing rocks and 10 and behold ! sure enough
there was the precious ore Later ex-
plorations and excavations have proven
his dream true. At five feet from the
surface fine specimens OF anthracite coal
have been found. The exact spot where
the vein has been struck Is in the middle
of the creek running down to Moore's
Station, and unless 1t can be turned from
It's course, 1t will be great obstacle In
the working OF the mine, should it prove
a paying one.
II is said that the late Stephen Moore,
who owned the farm at Moore's Station,
was great believer in the existence OF
coal in that neigbborhood and made many
| journeys up the creek in search Of coal,
often bringing back specimens OF black.

late Alexander Coryel was also firm
believer in the theory that coal in large
quantities would be found in this section
OF the country sooner or later. lie also
was ever on the alert in hunting for the
coveted riches and made many trips over
the hills in hope OF being the pioneer il
