APOSTROPHE TO THE PLATTE
RIVER.

GINS, KQ.
Oh! rushing, mysterious, crystalline
river
"Winding thro' channels where drooping
houghs quiver
On'to the eea from mountains forever.
Mountains clad in snows uo sunlight
can sever.
Stop in thy mad career, Ohl swift river
flowing
"Where valleys and hills their green
meadows growing.
Upon the white sanas leave a trace of
the story
That mountain crags hold in their
grandeur and glory.
And the calm wave aud flow
Of the long, long ago
Ripples down with a shimm'ring motion,
And the silvcrv tide
Past the lilies beside
Sweeps on to its refuge, the ocean.
A low tone if beard trom the gliding
waves stealing.
The innermost heart of earth forms re
vealing; "Vast ages of aeons have (ted since the
dawning
Thro limitless changes to life's early
morning.
The creative sun but a spark from the
distance
Of systems unseen and their forces in-
sistence
Tuning measures harmonic to morning
star's anthem
While planets and moons thro' etcrni.
ties chant them.
And the river's pale strand
Is reflecting the hand
Whose infinite spheres light the gloam
ing Where mysteries old
'Neath the azurcand gold
Shall be rent where the lost stars are
roaming.
Earth bom of the sun and cradled in
regions
Where endless worlds roll in number
less legions,
Their glowing drops filling Immensity's
ocean
Electric with life and radiant, with
motion,
Flung afar into space, a bright bubble
burning
Its molten mass ccoled and wrought in
the turning,
Creating anew from its volcanic foun
tains The gray, rocky towers of snow-covered
mountains.
On the water's white shore
Hear the dull surge and roar,
The heralds that sung of Creation,
Ere Time was begun
Or this child of the sun
Had been rocked from its parent foun
dation." Thui echoed the billows whose crystal
waves shining
Wake musical murmurs ever repining,
Where lowing herds meet aud wavelets
are glistening,
Where Summer birds sing with Sum
mer winds listening,
Where tall grasses wave and swaying
so gracefully
Trill with sweet voices there chanting
so peacefully,
With Nature's own harp-strings breath-
iug their benison
Taming the wild passions, chording in
unison.
By the low stranded isle
Whose shadows beguile
The mother bird in from her straying
lft a deep monotone
Where the wiud and waves moan
Each calling to each of their saving.
The soft plashing flow adown the
strange river
Whose secret is whispered where elfin
shades quiver.
Sweeping atoms of mountains hurled
from foundations,
Creating the valleys in its newer for
mations. The mountain chain reared from the
earthquake's' dread thunder
Evolving thro' tempests the hidden
world under,
And spreads at our feet this valley
strewn river
A gift from the mountains crumbling
forever.
Oh! majestic bold stream
How weird is the dream
And the tale you have told at my wooing;
Shall the goal you have won
Revert to the sun
And return in the dim future's doing?1

The following letter, written from
Silver Cliff, Col., May 27th, by A.J.
Sampson, to the Cadiz, O., Republi
can, we copy as giving a picturo of
life west of tie:
Dear Republican: But a few
years 6ince, this country was con
sidered so remote from the East that
bnt few could muster courage to
cross tho "Great American Desert"
to see it. Those who did venture
flung their banner from tho mast
head.of their prairie schooners, bear
ing tho inscription 'Tikes Peak or
bust," and after weeks of hard work,
of privation and great danger they
reached this land of AUadin won
ders, only to endure greater hard
ships than they had over dreamed
of, if their bones were not left by
the merciless Indians to bleach on
the plains. Time brought wonder
ful changes, and instead of the ox
team the adventurers of to-day have
the choice of three routes of a little
over thirty hours' ride in a palace
Bleeper. On their arrival hero they
find towns and cities, gulches and
mountain peaks inhabited by as live,
active and. energetic people as the
son to-day shines upon, many of
them numbering their wealth by
hundreds of thousands, or millions,
of dollars, living in palaces of hous
es, and doing business in stores
rarely equaled in Eastern States. To
what are all these changes, these
successes attributable ?
THE MINES.
One of the most important of all
the causes has been the success in
the development of the mines of
thiB country. At first but a few
hundred thousand dollars wore rea
lized, and that at the sacrifice of
many lives. Gradually it increased
until the millions were reached,
while the out-put for the last year
was over 120,000,000, placing Colo
rado as the first of all the gold and
silver-producing States of the Un
ion. Her increase in population,
too, has been remarkable, increasing
in the last decade from a few thou
sand to over two hundred thousand.
One of her cities, Denver, the city
of the plains, shows the greatest per
cent of increase of any city in the
United States, going up from a few
hundred to 40,000 inhabitants, an
increase of over COO per cent.
SILVER CLIFF.
This has beeu one of the wonder
ful development?, brought about by
the finding of u new mineral camp.
From being the homo of the prairie
dog and coyote, in two years from
the time tho first house was btiilt it
was a live city of five thousand in
habitants. Soon after this its streets
were graded, Holly water works
put ia at a cost of nearly $100,000
the youngest town in the world to
establish ax system of water works,
three organized fire companies,
eight smolters and stamp mills, &c.
One of these stamp mills cost about
$150,000, and is- one of the best stamp
mills ever built. It was only com
pleted two months ago, but it is a
perfect success, and insures the early
building of others of a similar con
struction. About twelve years ago
a German colony come to this mag
nificent "wet mountain valley," six
miles wide and thirty mileB long, to
subdue it to cultivation. They suf
fered great privations, many times
being unable to secure the necessa
ries of life, but they held on to their
rauchoB and -continued to cultivate
them. They were rewarded, how
over, with poor returns, as they were
so remote from -market that they
realized but little from the product
of their ranches.
Time has brought her changes
here too, and now they have a home
market for all they can produce.
Eggs are sold at 23 to 50 cents a
dozen, batter 30 to GO cents a pound,
potatoes from 2 to 3j cents a pouud,
hay, their staple, from $20 to fiO per
ton, for which they could not get
more than $5 to $15 a few years
siuce. Now they have a railroad to
this city only completed ten days
ago, bringing all kinds of merchand
ise almost to their doors. It is
impossible to give a full history of
the wonderful changes and develop
ments of this country. Your entire
columns for several issues could not
contain them all.
CLIMATE.
Our gold and silver have been
wonderfully aided in their devel
opments by our healthful, invigorat
ing climate. Many find relief here
after years of suffering in the East.
Those who come here for their
health are not driven back by the
raauy diseases to which other sec
tions arc subjected. Our clear Ital
iau 'skies, mild winters, and delight
ful summers are charming. "While
you have had weeks and months of
cold weather and sleighing the past
whiter, we have not had over two
weeks of sleighing all winter, aud
no groat degree of eold. At this
date we have not experienced such
a great degree of heat as you may
presume. The days are comforta
ble while the nights are cool aud
give refreshing sleep. I cannot bet
ter describe it than by saying I Bleep
under a sheet, five woolen blankets
aud a heavy comforter every night,
and every evening and morning
need a little fire. At Denver it is
much warmer than here. Strange
aa it may seem radishes, lettuce, on
ions, &c, are growing nicely and a
great many in tho market. There is
so little frost and moisture in the
atmosphere that the cold nights do
not hurt them.
A Family Reunion.
Sherman, July IS, 1SS1.
Dear. Joukxal: A household er
rand calling me to the residence of
our kind neighbor, Mr. J. Davis, on
Sabbath morning, I was agreeably
surprised by witnessing a large fam
ily gathering of 'four generations,
from the venerable, though by no
means infirm, great grand-father of
more than four score years, down to
the tiny darling of throe months.
The great grand - mamma hasting
about, as straight jib a young poplar,
zealous in welcoming and caring for
those she so loved. Grandma dis
puting with hnr daughters for the
honors of young matronhood; tho
young and girlish wife, flitting with
her brothers from spot to spot, from
barn to house, from bush to tree,
helping gather the good cheer to
furnish forth a feast, the aromas of
which already filled every corner of
that roomy house. It was so pleas
ing to notice one bright young
mother decking her beautiful pets;
lest a sister's little ones should out
vie them, while the sister more se
dately was stealing time from her
infaut to re-arrange her already
faultlessly bedecked offspring, the
whiles in the yard beside the trees
grandpa stood foremost amongst tho
group of his sons-in-law, all hold
ing "high carnival" over some new
and complicated piece of farm ma
chinery. As I reverently bent me
before the snow white head of that
patriarch who presided, there that
day I thought of the lapse of years
bringing wisdom and experience to
him, and of the kind and gentle ex
pression his aged features wore:
telling so plainly of a lifetime full
of lessons and of that peace which
now sustains him, and I knew that
ere long, when ho had been sum
moned up higher, that then all those
there present, would look back along
the paths they might not retrace,
and long in vain for opportunities
to again occur in which they might
garner from his rich storehouse of
observation and experience, wisdom
to guide them aright over some
rough spots in life's thorny path and
I abruptly took my departure mv
errand forgotten, lest I should short
en these opportunities, and as I took
my homeward way I wove for my
self a beautiful idyl of the delights
of the hereafter, where we shall
gather in one grand family and
God's love shall unite us there.
"Volunteer." .
Mxarryinjj for Lore.
The man who marries for love has
generally the vital temperament is
combative, sngacious, and indepen
dent, and takes a general view of
everything.
A life of indolence aud ntagnation
has no charms for one whose blood
is warm and whose hopes are high ;
he likes to be in the thickest of the
fight, giving blows aud taking them ;
watching for the turn of events with
coolness and foresight; pleased at
his own independence and struglcs ;
eager to show the world what he
can achieve; and the contest rouses
all the strength and manliness of
his nature.
He wins the respect of hi9 fellows
by his own worth. He often brings
home pleasant surprises for his wife
and children. You may recognize
him in trains loaded with parcels,
which he goodnaturedly carries with
perfect unconcern of what others
think a new bonnet, muaic, books,
a set of furs for his wife; while in
another parcel the wheels of a cart,
a jack-in-the-box, a doll or skipping
rope protrude through the paper
and suggest the nursery.
He never forgets the dear ones at
home; the humanizing influence of
that darling red-cheeked littlo fel
low who calls him father brings a
glow of rapture of the purest pleas
ure earth holds; for the man who
has never felt a tiny hand clasp his
will always lack something he will
be less human, less blessed than
others.
This is the noble, the honest, the
only form of life that imparls real
contentment and joy, that will make
a death bed glorious, and love see
peace through its tears. It is so
purely unselfish, so tenderly true,
it satisfies tho highest instincts, it
stimulates men to the best deeds
they are capable of.
By studying how to live we best
know how to die; and the finest life
is that which ministers to others'
needs and increases the joys of those
dependent on us, whom we love,
and who look to us for support, so
lace, and light even as tho earth is
revivified by the .sun ; for feeling is
life; the pulsation of delicious sym
pathy, the spring in a desert, the
manna from the skies.
The envious never rejoice iu the
good fortunes of their friends. Di
rectly a man rises in life, they come
to the front with a story about his
low origiu, and wonder that so ob
scure an individual should over have
"amounted to anything." Tho fact
that he has amounted to something,
that he has proved himself a success,
seems to make some of his acquaint
ances feel that they have been robbed
iu a manner, and that by so much
he has risen above them in position
or influence, by so much they are
dwarfed. Men who have groped
blindly to find a fitting place for
their talents find it, and with some
natural appreciation, money, influ
ence, prosperity. Can their good
fortune cause anything but rejoic
ing in a magnanimous and noble
mind? One thing is certain; the
man or woman who is occupied in
picking topiecc8 the crown lawfully,
won by a successful neighbor is not
likely ever to wear one; for the
time thus spent is worse than wast
ed, and the disposition that can find
pleasure in employment so igno
minious and degrading, can never
find those aspirations, labors and
toils congenial whjch bring deserv
ed reputation, honor and success.
Woman Sufl'rngc in Wjoming.
Women in Wyoming have enjoy
ed all the political rights, privileges
and responsibilities of men for the
last eleven years. Not a single sol

which the exercise of their rightR
has been the leaBt productivo of any
evil results that wo have heard of.
The women have not been degraded
Or demoralized by it, uor has it re

affairs, or created any domestic dis

regularly vote as the men, and they
do not stay away from the polls aB
much as the men do. But few wo
men, as yet, have become office

The Lincoln Journal has quito a
lengthy item on our big bono, but
must have received erroneous infor

it once belonged to, as the writer of
the item speculates on what a "big

of, etc. It's all very good, Mr. Jour

bird. Wcsf Point Republican.

in those good old days to have seen
this magnificent specimen of a rab
bit go bounding over the prairie, a
half mile to the leap, with a half
score or so of grey hounds of pro
portionate size and speed, with a
dozen or so of the boys of the prime
val age, on ponies as big as tho B. &r
M. depot, whooping, yclliug so they
could be heard fifty miles. It is not
impossible that the grand chase be
gan at the foot of the Rocky moun

ended in an hour iu the capturo of
the poor, hunted rabbit on the very
spot where West Point now stand.

Professor Fort has prosented the
question of premature interments to
the French Academy in a paper on
artificial respiration. Ono fact he
mentions is, that .he was enabled to
restore to life a child 3 years old by
practicing artificial respiration on it
some four hours, commencing three
hours and a half after apparent
death. A similar case is reported
by Dr. Fournol, of Billancourl, who
rcanimatod n nearly drowned per
son after four hours of artificial
respiration. This person had beeu
in the water ten minutes, and the
doctor arrived one hour after as
phyxia. Professor Fort advocates
also the utility of artificial respira
tion in order to eliminate the poion
from tho lungs and glands. The
length of lime it is desirable to prac
tice artificial respiration iu any ca&e
of apparent death from asphyxia
may be said to bo several hours.
