THE PROSpECToR.

In the mountains, alone. No fellow
man within twenty miles, possibly a
hundred; it matters not. There is SOL
itude and nature. The one presses back
every human encroachment, while com
munion is held with the other. Hope
studs the armament at night, calls
through the soughing forest; leads from
sun to sun, for we are with the pros
pector. ,.
In quest of gold. Gold where nature
left it, the creators treasure vault,
virgin pure and unsullied by even human
look. What matters if the throng be
left for weeks, even years? The pros
pector's spirit yearns for the mountains,
beyond the utmost trail, where he may
pioneer the search for cropping veins
and placer beds. Winter finds him in
the deep canyon or on the bleak noun
tain-side and heaps Of drift snow over
his stout humble log cabin, but if gold
is there the prospector remains. Spring
dances down the rivulet toward the low
lands, scattering her beauties beyond
his reach and beckoning to the enchant-
ing realm she is building in the valley,
but he clings to the mountain top where
barred diorite and granite slide are the
setting for wild work, for he is the
prospector. Seasons leave their swath,
time burrows and trenches the brow,
but the prospector lives and dies, for
he is in quest Of gold.
Gold is the first of all autocrats. 1t
has made strangely strong, rugged,
lonely raee, end though it tries a mans
soul in the wilderness, it rewards with
princely layishness and never loses a
votary. WNether; fate strikes dntimely
while the. huDts IS stin on, or enters
marbled palacess Enere gains command
all of life's luz;iries, it finds the pros
pector still the devotee Of gold. -Ex.

TALES THAT ARE TOLD.

A grasp of the main facts, rather
than facility of expression, character
ICES the following historical contribu-
ton from a schoolboy: Henry the
Eighth was brave, corpulent and cruel;
be, was frequently married to a widow;
had an ulcer on his leg; and great de-
cision of character"
This story is told of a nice old resi-
dent Of Brookline, who recently ad-
dressed class of young women at an
educational institution, and who ad-
vised them to go in for the active lie.
60 out and doSsomething, be some
thing" he exclaimed, become fishers
of men," and he wondered why the
audience Uttered.
Prof. TAFT, of Edinburgh university,
asked one of his students to define
transparent, translucent and Opaque.
The young man dealt with the query
in this way: II cannot precisely de-
fine these terms, but l can indicate
their meaning N this way-the win
dows of this classroom were once
transparent, they are now translucent
and If not cleaned very soon they will
be Opaque" The answer gained full
marks from the amused professor.
James H. O'Brien, the wealthy Cali
fornia miner, was standing on the
steps of San Francisco hotel, when a
seedy citizen came and hailed him;
"Hullo, Jim. How are ye?" Mr.
O'Brien at first did not know the man,
and, thinking the stranger was a pro-
fessional beggar, he said: who the
dickens are you?" You don't know
me, eh?'' said the dilapidated party
Say, Jim; l was quarts O. wine when
you were pints o. beer" The rich man
by this time had recognized a friend
of former days, and a satisfactory IN
terview followed.
The late Thomas l.. Clark, bishop OF
Rhode Island, widely known as wit
and scholar, in his own home life in
Providence preferred the utmost sim
plicity compatible with comfort. Hav-
ing on one occasion a distinguished
English divine as a visitor, the latter
was considerably impressed, not to say
astonished, at the lack of ceremony OBJ
served in the episcopal mansion, and
upon retiring hesitatingly inquired II
he should leave his shoes outside his
door. Certainly, If you like" replied
the bishop, with cordially; ''nobodyl
