SOLITUDE.
py Ella wheeler wilcox.

Laugh, and the world laughs With you;
Weep. and you weep alone;
For this sad old earth must borrow Its mirth-
It has troubles enough Gifts own
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh. and it's lost on the air.
The echoes rebound to joyful sound
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieye and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink the gall.
Feast. and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and heworld goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you TO live;
Butno man can help you die.
There is room in the halls Of pleasure
For large and lordly train.
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

Farmer Policy O'Neal, of Mumfordville,

No one who has ever known what it is
to lose faith in fellow man whom he has
profoundly loved and reverenced, will
lightly say that the shock can leave the
faith in the invisible GODDESS mistaken.
With the sinking of high human trust the
dignity of life sinks too; we cease to be-
lieve liz our own better selves, since that
also is part of the common nature which is
degraded in our thoughts; and all the finer
impulses of the soul are dulled.

Made a Shipment

Yesterday the DIETRICH brothers,
who have been mining in the Voltair
District tor the past hree months
made a shipment OF ten tons OF ore
20 the Salby Smelling Co, al Vallejo
This rock represents the work OF
Two men for three months. There
are many mining districts in the State
that have not Done as well and the
best feature OF the nine is the fact
that the ore shipped averages nearly
S2e0 per ton. The boys figure on a
net return OF a little over a hundred
dollars a ton, as they have been care
ful in sorting. Shipments made from
the same ground at other times have
Melted about the same amount. A
great deal OF second grade rock was
left in the mine and considerable pill
ed on the dump. Whenever smelt-
er is in working order close at hand
this rock will pay a handsome profit.
The boys are busy at the mine TAX
ing out more rock and from all indi-
cations they have another shipment
