Jack was an orphan, poor but true;
\ wondrous bean he found;
And ere he slept, for safety's SAKE
He hid it in the ground.
One morn he rose, to see vine
Above his hidden treasure,
That o'er q palace near him grew
Whose height he could notmeasur
And soon a vision moved the boy
To thrust his hatchet strong
Within tho vine, and upward rise
Singing this merry song;
ssI' hitch my hatchet and up LII &c,
The higher I climb the more I'll know
uo mastered all one room could teach,
Then climbed a story higher:
For love and.knowledge all his Soul
Burned with pure desire.

The higher Iclimb the more IllknoT'
And 50 he rose by sure degrees,
From alphabet to college;
For the vast palace he explored
The temple was of knowledge.

hunter who has just returned to this

made enough to take I; rest. He has
followed every gold craze that his
struck the country since that time. but
lie has always been too late to make
his coveted fortune. Not once in all
that time has he owned III acre Of
ground. In every camp he has been
forced to work for the man who hired
him. 1t was in 1871 that he had his
last sight of civilization. and since that
