I am glad to see you take an Interest In such things, for everybody ought to thoroughly under stand what 1b going on in the country. "I've been reading about them every day," rejoined Mrs. Spoopendykej " and I think I know a good deal about poli tics now," and the good lady turned turkey red with the Idea that she had excited her husband's admiration. " I think Mr. Garfield Is Just too sweet to live, and that dear Mr. Hancock is Just as nice as he can be. They are ever so much better than that odious English and Authur. Oh I if I was a man I would vote for Garfield and Hancock." " That ain't the way to talk politics," sneered Mr. Bpoopendyke. " I thought you said you knew something about it I Got an Idea that Garfield and Hancock are some kind of a bonnet, haven't you? Well, they ain't a foreign Bible society, either." " Do you like English and Arthur best y They may be good men for the presidency, but I saw more in the papers about Garfield and Hancock, and I thought they must be splendid. Perhaps I was mistaken. " Garfield and Hancock ain't running together, I tell ye," retorted Mr. Bpoo pendyke. " They are running against each other." " There's another thing," said Mrs. Bpoopendyke, complacently t "if they are doing that, I perfectly agree with you in thinking that English and Ar thur are the best. They are perfect gen tlemen, and Mr. Arthur is so handsome! I saw his plcture " "Don't you know' anything at all, scarcely J"' demanded Mr. Bpoopendyke. " English and Arthur ain't twins, they are running against each other too. Where'd you find out about politics, anyway in a cook book P'raps you think these candidates are vegetables, Mrs. Bpoopendyke. But they ain't they are men with arms and legs ; they ain't things to make pudding of." . " Certainly ; I know that," responded Mrs. Bpoopendyke cheerfully ; "but if Mr. Garfield is running against Mr. Hancock, and Mr. English is running against Mr. Arthur, I don't see what we're going to do. How are we going to choosey" " But they've got to run against each other," 'explained Mr. Bpoopendyke,' with rising emphasis. " You don't sup pose candidates all run together like a lot of hens, do ye V" " If Mr. Hancock and Mr. Garfield run against each other, won't Mr. Han cock have the best of it t" " Why should he " demanded Mr. Bpoopendyke. " Cause he's so big. If they were run ning together he'd get beat, 'cause he's too fat. He couldn't" " Does anybody In the country know what you're talking about y Do you a' pose they stand off aud bump up against eaoh other like a couple of freight trains y Got an idea they're going to roll up their trousers and run a leg race' I tell ye Hancock is running for one president and Garfield Is running for another. Now d'ye understand V" "Oh, that's it. Now I begin to see into it," returned Mrs. Bpoopendyke, joyously. " So If you was to vote for two men for president, you must vote for English and Arthur. I understand it perfectly now,. But" "Oh, yes, you understand it don't ye" yelled Mr. Bpoopendyke. " You're the politician of seven ages. All you need is a registration book and a brass band to be a whole political campaign. I tell ye Hancock is running for President and so is Garfield, and Arthur and En. glish are running for Vice President. Can you understand thaty" " Yes, I do ; but do you think Arthur and English will get it? I read in one---" " Get it y They both can't get it. Only one of them can get it," exclaimed Mr. Bpoopendyke, suppressing bis pas sion. " What do you think the Vice Presidency is, a pair of pigeon holes t One of them will be President and the other Vice President. Now can you bore that through your skull and re member it y " Why of course ; but I feel sorry for poor Mr. Garfield and poor Mr. Han cock. They'll be awfully disappointed, but of course we can't help it. Which will be President do you think, Mr. Ar thur or Mr. Eng " "Dodgastitl" raved Mr. Bpoopen dyke. " You don't kuow enough to go to sleep when you're tired. Don't I tell you Garfield or Hancock will be Presi dent. Bay it over until you can remem ber it. The tickets are Huncock and English, and Garfield and Arthur. Comprehend thaty" " Why certainly. I saw those names on the banners. I remember uow. Which will be elected y" 'That's the question," rejoined Mr. Bpoopendyke, sarcastically, "If Mr. English can curry his own Btate and Ohio, he will be elected, but If Mr. Gar field can carry his own Btate and Indi ana, he has an excellent show." "What will Mr. Hancock and Mr. Arthur carry V" asked Mrs. Bpoopen dyke, with an air of absorbing interest. " Carry V" howled Mr. Bpoopendyke " they'll carry swill to the pigs, and that's more'n you kuow how to do. What d'ye s'pose they'll carry V" " I suppose Mr. Arthur will carry Mr. English's Btate, won't he and his own ? And Mr. Hancock will carry Mr. Gar field's Btate.- and Governor's Island. Ain't that where he lives V I don't imagine what they want of each other's States. They ought to " "Oh! you've got it 1" shrieked Mr. Bpoopendyke. " You've got it boiled down. You only need a heavy rain and the aide door of a bar-room to be an election day. What you want is a lot of blots and your name spelled wrong to be a poll list. Don't I tell ye that two of 'em are running against the other two and the two that get the most States will be elected y And if a man can't carry his own Btate he's liable to be licked. Can't ye understand that V" " I see ; I see," said Mrs. Bpoopeu dyke. " It's as plain as day now. But suppose they all carry their own States won't It be funny y" " He, hei he," giggled Mr. Spoopeu dyke, with horrid grimaces. "It'll be the funniest thing ever known. If they do that you just dramatize It. It'll beat nine circuses in a row. How's each go ing to carry his own State y Think he's going to turn it up on one end and roll it like a hoopV" " I don't know," said Mrs. Bpoopen dyke reflecting, "I don't exactly un der tand bow they do it, but they ought to know what they are going to do be fore they accept the convention. I read " " Who cares a dog gasted cent what you read," pealed forth Mr. Spoopen dyke. " Vou don't know enough about politics to stuff a chicken. Who said anything about any measly convention' Git Into bed, will ye t You' got an idea '.hat you put candidates in a pot like turnips and poke 'em with a fork, and the one that's done first is elected. Oh I you're right you've got the sense of It. With your statesmanship, all you want is four amendments and a motion to ad journ to be an act of Congress," and Mr. Bpoopendyke cast his clothing into a corner, flopped into bed and pulled the clothes over his ears. "I don't care," mused Mrs. Bpoopen dyke as she turned out the gas and then began puttering around to Bee if every thing was all right; " I know if Mr. English carries Mr. Garfield's Btate and Mr. Garfield carries Mr. English's Btate it will go hard with Mr. Hancock and Arthur, and Mr. Arthur is such a hand some man," and Mrs. Bpoopendyke sidled into bed, planted her cold feet into the pit of Mr. Bpoopendyke's stomach and went to sleep, dreaming that that worthy was running for the office of notary public and .had carried every Btate in the Union, Including " Gov ernor's Island." A SILVER MOUNTAIN. THIS season when the whaling fleet returned from a short cruise in the Artio ocean It was stated that the season had been unusuatly short, and that the catch had been large, but few people were aware of the extraordinary discov ery which had been made by the crew of one of the vessels, which is to result in the enriching of a score or more people. The story, as told by the cap tain of the whaler, Is as follows : While the vessel was lying in a small bay at the mouth of one of the rivers which empty into the ocean, on the coast of Alaska, a great many of the natives came abroad to trade for sea bis cuit, of which they are passionately fond, and they were treated 'so liberally by the white men that the chief Invited the captain to accompany them up the river p. short distance on a fishing excur sion. The captain consented, especially as he was told that the river swarmed with salmon, and he desired to lay in a supply. A whaleboat was manned, and the captain, one of the mates aud four men started on the expedition. The entire party went up the river abont fifteen miles passing over a rapid, which was difficult on account of the swift current and rocky obstruction. Boon after passing the rapids they came in eight of a hill, fringed with trees and shrubs at its base, but barren and rocky toward the summit, which seemed to be not more than 400 or S00 feet high. Here the party halted, and after partak ing of dinner the seamen began taking salmon, while the captain and mate, to gether with the chief made an ascent of the hill. Arriving at the top, they found what settned to be the crater of an extinct volcano, and around wore evidences that at one time there had been a terrible eruption, for loose boulders, charred and blackened, strewed the ground in every direction. In the crater itself the cap tain noticed that the rocks resembled congealed Iron after It had been melted, and undertook to knock oil" a piece, but could not do it, as It seemed to bend, not break, with his repeated blows with the head of a boat axe. He then struck it with the blade of the axe, and actually chopped It eff and took it in bis hand. Where the axe had cleaved Its way through, the rock he saw was as soft nearly as lead, although it did not shine. He thought then that it was a metal of some kind and kept it. The mate mean while had picked up some of the loose rocks and boulders, and they started away. Toward morning, a native brought a piece of rock about twelve inches long and six Inches thick, which weighed forty-eight pounds, and sprink led with gold, stating that he bad found it near another hill further up the river, and that such rock was easily gathered there. The party returned to the vessel and in due time arrived in San Fran cisco. Here the story was told to a gentlemen living in Oakland, and the specimens handed over to him for the purpose of having proper assays made. This was done, and the piece which the captain chopped oflT the top of the hill with the' axe went $0000 per ton in silver, and the loose rocks picked up on the side of the hill went as high as $275, sliver, per ton. It seems then that this hill is a mountain of silver, and that it Is only the beginning of vast discoveries which will soon be made in Alaska, which may yet become the El Dorado to which thousands will rush. The Oakland gentleman spoken of immediately formed a party or company which has chartered the Whaler to take a trip to the scene of the remarkable find as soon as the season opens. The party will consist of the same captain and mate who found the treasure, and six others, besides the crew. The com pany will provision the vessel for seven months, pay the crew, and give the cap tain and male an equal share of the pro ceeds. It Is designed to leave San Fran cisco in April. It will take eighteen or twenty days to make the run up, and not more than fifteen or twenty days to load the vessel, which will return to Ban Francisco, unload cargo and make another trip up to the place again. On her first trip she will leave the working party, which will put in the time during her absence in getting out a cargo of the richest ore for her on her return. It will be remembered that the Cor win, on her trip to the Arctio this season, discovered an unlimited supply of coal in northern Alaska, and also Lioutfht back specimens of silver-bearing rock, which assays $175 per ton. So if the whaler is successful in 1881, we may look for lively times in Alaska in the near future. How Shall I Read? Many who have the long winter even ings before them are asking the question " How shall I read ?" It is with a de sire to answer this question that we pre pare this brief article. The first thing needed is Borne plan, or a course of reading marked out be forehand. Unless this is done we are apt to bo very discursive in our reading, as history, biography, poetry, and books of travel. " I would have," says a distinguished educator of this country, "every edu cated man acquire a broad, general ac quaintance with a number and variety of branches, and I would have this fol lowed up by a devoted study of a few, or of one. We ought to give our attention to these different kinds, not merely because we may weary of one if too much time is given to It, but because they are truths and beauties which we need to be found in every oue of them. History reveals the past, and helps us to understand what Is occurring in the present. Poetry helps us to discover the good and beautiful In all that meets us. Biography reveals character and stim ulates to noble deeds. Books of travel Include history bio graphy and poetry. They broaden our views, so that we include within our interest and sympathies the people of distant lands. C3 One who ia content with what be has done will never become famous for what he will do.

He raised his eyes toward the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear, calm lake. Then he cast them on the earth, where a few more helpless beings than himself were moving towards their Inevitable goal the tomb. Already he had passed sixty of the stages which lead to it, and he had brought from his Journey nothing but errors and remorse. His health was destroyed, hla mind un-' furnished, his heart sorrowful, and his old age devoid of comfort. The days of his youth rose up in a vlzlon before him, and he recalled the solemn moment when his father had placed him at the entrance of two roads, one leading into a peaceful, sunny land, covered with a fertile harvest, and re sounded with soft sweet songs; while the other conducted the wanderer into a deep, dark cave, whence there . was no issue, where poison flowed Instead of water, and where serpents hissed and crawled. He looked towards the sky, and cried out in his anguish : " O, youth return !' O, my father, place me once more at the crossway of life, that I may choose the better road 1" But the days of his youth had passed away, and his parents were with the departed. He saw wan dering lights float over dark marshes, and then disappear. " Such," he said, " were the days of my wasted life!" He taw a star shoot from Heaven, and van ish in darkness athwart the church yard. " Behold an emblem of myself I'r he exclaimed ; and the sharp arrows of unavailing remorse struck him to the heart. Then he remembered his early com panions, who had entered life with him, but who having trod the paths of virtue and Industry, were now happy and honored on this New Year's night. The clock In the high church-tower struok,' and the souud falling on his ear, recalled the many tokens of the love of hia par-' en ts for him, their erring son ; the les sons they had taught him ; the prayers they had offered up in his behalf. Over whelmed with shame and grief, be dared no longer look towards that Heaven where they dwelt. His darkened eyes dropped tears, and, with one despairing effort, he cried aloud, "Come back, my early days ! Come back I" And his youth did return ; for all this had been but a dream, visiting his slum bers on New Year's night. He was still young ; his errors only were no dream. He thanked God fervently that time was still his own ; that he had not yet entered the deep, dark cavern, but that he was free to tread the road leading to the peaceful land where sunny har vests wave. Ye who still linger on the threshold of life, doubting which path to choose, remember that when years shall be passed, and your feet shall stumble on the dark mountain, you will cry bitter ly, but cry in vain, " O, youth, return ! O, give me back my early days!" 'Religion's grand secret is living upon Christ, looking continually to him. All that is desirable in ourselves, all that Is useful to others, must be drawn simply from this source; and everything else must be in subservien cy to this. The secret of abiding in Christ Is a compound grace of humility, faith and love, humility, by which the soul feels Its own nothingness and emp tiness ; faith, by which it embraces the Saviour, as all sufficient for every want ; and love, by which it continually dwells in him. flT The will of God is the light by which we ought to be guided. Nothiug grievous can ever happen to us so long as we follow it. When we walk with out light inthe night of our evil wlIK we cannot avoid either stumbl.og or go ing astray. Let Thy will, O Lord, be always the lamp which may enlighten my steps, and the light which may di rect me In Tby ways. Nothing is tolerable that is neces sary. Now,God hath bound thy trouble upon thee, by his special Providence, and with a design to try thee, and with purposes to reward and to crown thee. These cords thou canst not break, and ; therefore lie thou down gently, and suf fer the band of God to do what he please. Worth Rememberinj. Now that good times are again upon us, before indulging in extravagant show, it is worth remembering that no . one can enjoy the pleasantest surround ings if in bad beilth. There are hun dreds of miserable people gotng about to-day with di so retired stomtch, liver or kidneys, or dry, hacking cough, and one foot in the grave, when a 50 ct. bottle of Parker's Ginger Tonlo would, do them more good than all the ex pen- ' si ve doctors and quack mediclnea they have ever tried. It always makes the blood pure and rich, and will build you up and give you good health at little cost, ltead of it In another columu. 2 2t
