All before us lies the way:
Give the past unto the wind:
All before us is the day,
Night and darkness are behind.
Eden with its angels bold,
Love and flowers and coolest sea
Is less an ancient story told
Than a glowing prophecy.
When the soul to sin hath died,
True and beautiful aid sound
Then all earth is sanctitied,
Upsprings paradise around.
From the spirit land afar
All disturbing force shall flee;
Stir, nor toll, nor hope shall mar
Its immortal unity.

MAKING GOLD BRICKS.
Not the Bogus Kind, But the Real
klondike Article.

kIondike Article.
The bulk of the gold thought down
by the Portland was shipped away to
San Francisco and Helena hut a con.
siderable amount of it found its way
into commercial channels of this city
through the process of melting down
into bars and it's purchase by the
banks. All day long recently Joseph
Mayer was casting bricks, and the
process was as simple as that of the
same application to running off lot
of plowshares or firebacks for stoves,
only infinitely more interesting.
The casting was done in the shops
fronting on Cherry street, and during
the day about $4,000 was handled. In
the Second avenue window of the
concern was pan containing $1,000
worth of dust and nuggets, and a curl
GUS crowd pressed around the yellow
display, until it was finally removed
to be converted into bright lump about
nine or ten inches long, three eighths
of an inch thick and three icnhes wide.
These pieces were worth $1,000 each.
The room where all this casting was
done was blistering hot. 1t was above
the main floor of the wholesale de-
partment. The floor is covered with
iron. Along one side are canopies of
iron that look like the tops of bakers
ovens. These canopies may be closed
in front and rest on platforms of iron
in which are countersunk the places
from the reception of the crucibles. The
fuel is gas and air under pressure. 1t
attacks the vessel of clay in which the
plumage crucibles repose with a roar
that can be heard a block away. A
faint glow at first colors the clay pot,
over which has been placed cover,
also of clay; then it becomes red and
then white, while greenish and blue
flames play all around it. 1t is neces-
sary to turn off the blast before the
crucible can be looked into, so fierce
is the heat.
Down in the bottom of the white
! mass there is line that indicates
where the gold ends and the vessel
begins. When it has become a hon.
ogeneous compound. by an instinct
! born of experience the operator lifts
the cover; then the blast is withdrawn.
A pair of tongs lifts another cover
| from the crucble itself, and then
the mold is lifted into a pan standing
on the iron platform. The tongs are
brought into requisition and the cru

to requisition and the crucible is turn
ed above the mold. A thick lip of red
metal protrudes itself. and from under
it, in a thin, white stream, runs the
gold into an iron mold. A thick
cloud of vapor arises from the contract
of the melted gold and the grease with
which the mold has been smeared.
BY this time the clamps are loosened,
the brick has set, and is lifted, a black
and unattractive rectangle, into a basin
of water. 1t is soon cooled and is
scrubbed with brush and soap.

Deep Sadness.

How sad his face,
All, what's amiss?
OF JOY no trace
Or torch of bliss;
He goes about
With fearful eye,
With sullen pout
And tie awry;
Upon his lips there is no smile,
He simply grouehes all the while
How slow his tread
And full of gloom;
He bows his head
AS to a doom;
He mopes in grief
And sinks around
Like some sly thief
At thieving found,
Because skin-tight trousers have come
And he's bow-leggeder than sin.
No gladness glows
In all his sky,
His joyance goes,
His bliss is by:
The trousers now
Must hug the skin.
And that, they vow,
From thigh to shin;
And this is the thing that breaks his
heart,
His knees are far too far apart.
