SINCERITY. Oh' bring me now sincerity, A true and living verity; Le: life be short yet ever true; In everything we think or do, Let's have sincerity. Alas! the world is leiity: Yet there's scant truth in brevity; And cruel wit is sharp as steel, Regardless of how others feel, Who love sincerity. Cease, word, this idle mockery, This worse than foolish foppery, ;; For souls are lost upon the sea Of mocking words, that cannot be In truth sincerity.. I ask not sullen gravity, Nor apist, fawning suavity, But simple, quiet, genial truth, All brightly told by cheery youth, With warm sincerity. Then all would live so joyously, All-uatere ='nld seem heavenly, True smiles enwreathe each happy face, And beauty gain that rarest grace, God's own sincerity. MAHING HERSELF USEFUL. -0 Rachel Ramsay looked very pretty indeed as she came down the narrow' wooden staircase of the little brown farmhouse that afterroon, dressed in a white muslin dress, strewn all over with tiny pink rosebuds, and a f.sb lace frill abdut her neck, tied with a pink ribbon, while her pretty feet were buttoned into a new pair of boots, with high French heels, and her hair was curled in loose, glossy coils if shining bronze. Eh I' said Granny Ramsay, looking up from her everlasting knitting-work, over which she was half asleep; 'goin' to church, beyv? 'It isn't Sunday, grandma,' ex plained the girl, laugbing and coloring. 'I'm going to the Tower to see Miss Calhoun. She has often invited me there-she and Miss Bell.' 'Pshaw I' said Granny Ramsay, who was one of those venerable people privileged to speak their minds on all occasions ; 'what do the fine city ladies at the Tower want of a farmer's daughter like you?' 'But, grandma, they've invited me l' 'It reminds me,' said grandma, ebi'ewdly, 'of the old story of the a.---iron pot and the china pot swim ming down stream together ; and they didn't nowise suit..' Rachel said nio more but es capedi out into the shady lane, where the maples were begin Ding to turn pale -yellow in the first September frosts. 'Gandma is always criticising everybody,' she thought. 'I know the ladies at the Towcr will be glad to see me. Miss Alice wants to sketch my head for 'Elaine,'. and Miss Bell asked me to sing duets with her. She said I had a voice like a lark. And perhaps Mr. Harold Haroldson will be there! For I know he often visits at the house.' And Rachel smiled to herself as she crossed the rustic bridge and web t through the woods to the Tower, a fantastic woodeni cot t.age with a semi-circular front, which was let for the sum mer, the owoaer thereof preferring to live in a square brick structure in the village. The little side door was open arnd Rachel went in. From the left of the passage way a door opened into the kitchen, and there to her infinite amnazemelPnt she saw Miss Alice Calhoun her '7 self, in an esthetic dress of pale sage green, and roses in her bair, contemplating a pair of decapita ted fowls which lay on the table. 'Miss Alicia !' she exclaimed. 'Is it you, Rachel?' cried the City young lady, pouncing on her as a drowning man pounces on the Dearest floating straw. 'Oh, I sever was so glad to see senyoody rai in all my life!i These horrid :e- hens! Bridget has gone away hee in a rage because I presumed to find fau4t with the coffee this .e morning, and we have company for lieutdinner, and I haven't an idea how k tbe ~to ge; the feathers off' these ?the m creatures. But now that you are bere everything will be right !' And she took off the big bib apron and stepped back with a sigb of relief. Rachel looked perplexed. Sue had come there not to enact the role of kitchen maid, but to visit Miss Calhoun, to sit in her draw ing.room and enjoy the cooversa tion of her guests, and she did not exactly relish this summary dismisal to the kitchen. 'There is soup stock,' went on Miss Alice, and a ralad, and a dhlicate piece of halibut, and with the fiwls roasted and a piece of pie or pudding or something which I 'iare say you can make, we shall do very nicely. I'm particularly anxious about the dinner because we are to have company. You'll excuse me now, because I have to dress.' And away tripped Miss Alice, selfish'and smiling as ever was Queen Cleopatra's self Poor Rachel I She stood a min. ute in the hot kitcop, the t,ears springing to. her eyes, a pang of disappointment at her heart. She knew all about it. Harold liar oldson and Mr. Dallas were to dine there that day, and she-she was to be cook, waitress, maid-of all-work-what signified it what she called herself ? She remem bered what grandma had said, and for once in her life gave that venerable lady credit for discrim ination. T1here was no help for it, how ever. She tied on the bib apron, tucked the curls back of her ears and went to work to prepare the chickens for the roasting pan, now and then pausing to brush away the round, bright tears which rolled down her cheeks. These young ladies evidently intended to make her s.e.fgl. She might have known that they did beforehand. She could bear the soft sound- of Bell Calhoun's guitar; the sweet, subdued tinkle of Alice's laughter ; the deep. mohotonous undercurrent of gen tlenen's voices; and then she glanced down at her pretty mus lin dress and bows of pink ribbon and began to think that Miss Calhoun had taken an unfair ad vantage of her. If she could only have heard the rapid and energetic colloquy which transpired between the two sisters in their dressing-room when first Alicia came upstairs she would perhaps have better comprehended the drift of things. 'Good news!' Mss Calhoun had cried, waving her scented pocket handkerchief in the air. 'I've got a girl in the kitchen !' 'No l' said Miss Bell, a fair-haired cream-complexioned damsel, with pale blue eyes and a perpetual smile. 'Rachel Ramsay,' nodded Alice, 'Come up here in her best bib and tucker to spend the day. Of course I confiscated her at once.' 'The bold, pushing thing!I' said Bell, with a disdainful gesture. 'She's a deal too pretty to bring into the drawing-room for Harold son and Armine Dallas to flirt with,' added Miss Alice, know ingly. 'And I don't see any way that I could have avoided it if it hadnr't been for thos'e lucky clbickens and Bridget's fortunate tit of temper. Make haste now. Trhey'll be here in a mainute. And I know little Rachel is a first-class cook for I've been there to tea.' So the young ladies of the Tower were enjoying the feast of reason and the, flow of soul in their cool drawinig-roomn, with b)ooks, new-gathered roses and blue ribboned guitars, while poor Racbel Ramnsay was broiling in the kitenen over peach-tarts and Neapolitan creams. She had not forgotten her dis appointment ; but, artist- like, she had thrown herself into her occu pation with engrossing interest, and she was stirring the creams with a quick, energetic hand, whed a step crossed the thres hold. 'Here are some fresh trout, Bridget, to surprise your mistress,' said a clear voice. . Arnd to her infinite amazement Hlarold Haroldeon stood - before Iher in his hunting costume, with a fishing-rod lightly balanced on bis shoulder.gil 'I'm not Bridget.,' said the girl, laughing, but still stirring on. 'I'm Rachel.' 'Miss Ramsay l' he exeiaimed, lifting his cap. 'How in the name of all that is wonderful came you bere?' And then, not without humor, Rachel detailed the manner and incidents of her capture. 'I am the maid-of.all-work, if you please,' she said, with a court esy. 'Then let me help yon,' said Mr. Haroldson, briskly tying a second bib apron around his hunt ing suit. 'I used to be pretty good hand at spider and gridiron when I camped out on Lake Cup suptic up in Maine.' 'But you're not engaged,' said Rachel half-pleased. half-frighten ed. 'I can volunteer,' observed the young man. 'Give me the oil and vinegar, and you will see what a dressing a Ia mayonnaise I can provide for that salad of yours.' And if ever a pair of cooks spent a delightful unconventional sort. of morning in the kitchen this pair did. They laughed, they made inno cent jokes, they behaved like two school children. And at 1.st when Rachel had rr.i out into the garden to gather some water cresses to deck the newly-roasted fowls, Mr. Harold son heard the voice of Miss Bell Calhoun calling down the stair way 'Rachel ! Rachel ! you may serve the dinner. Every one is here but that tiresome Haroldson I' ' 'And lhe's here, too,' calmly re sponded that gentleman, who was washing his hands at the pump. 'What!' cried Bell, shrilly. 'The cook and butler are ex pected to tgke their meals in the kitchen,' said Mr. Haroldson, with commendable gravity. 'And I've no objection whatever to that arrangement.' And nothing could induce Har old Horoldson to come up-to the dining-room, He and Rachel to gether ate their picni.ing sort of repast and washed the dishes although the matter somewhat lost its spice when the Misses Calhouie and their company all adjourned en masse to the kitch on and persisted in joining their ranks. .And when the purple sunset came dreamily down over the dark cedars that overhung the braw ling stream and the gay-guests had all departed, Alice and Bell Calhoun gazed dubiously at each other. 'Was ever anything so provok ing ?' said Bell. 'He has actually gone home with her !' said Alice, bursting in to angry tears. 'And after all the pains we took to keep them apart !' sighed Bell. 'It was all your fault'y petulant ly exclaimed Alice. 'Noticing that farmer's daughter and drag ging her out of her sphere in that sort of way !' 'But it was you that plumed yourself on getting her into the kitchen !' scolded Bell. 'And a nice mess you've made of it !' 'But how were we to tell that it was going to end so ?' gr-oaned poo)r Alice. * *. * * * * 'Well, Rache!,' said Granny Ramsay, when the girl came in. just as the lamps were lighted. 'whst sort of a day did you have ?' 'Oh, charmiiing !' said Rachel. '1 enjoyed myself more than ever I did before at the Tower, and I never went out of the kitche.n. They had1 company and1 I helped get dinner.' 'ilumph. l' grunted granny. -TIhat's a queer i ay of enter.in-. ing visitors. But p'raps that's city manners.' 'Perhaps it is,' said Rachel, de murely. 'Who was it came home with you,' asked Granny, who was not quite deaf or blind as yet, 'and1 left you at the garden gate ?' 'One of the other servants,' said Rachel. 'Well, I never !' said granny. 'Where's all your pride, Rachel Ramisay ?' 'I never was prouder in all my life than I am to night !' said Rachel. 'Listen, grandma, for I bave so much to tell you. Mr. Harold Haroldson, of New York, walked home with me; and ['ve met him ever so many times before this summer at picnics and archery parties and auch places, but I never knew that he cared for me, And to-night he asked me to mar ry him, and he is to come here to. morrow morning to see fatber.' 'Do you love him ?' said Gran ny Ramsay, huskily. And Rachel answered : 'Yes!' 'Then God bless you, my child and give you both a long and hap py life !' said the old lady, softly smoothing the girl's bright bead. And every one was satisfied ex cept the ladies at the Tower. [elen Forrest Graves. isr4jte. FoR THE HERALD. LETTER FROM COLORADO. Special Correspondence. LEADVILLE, COL., August 11, 1882. The shortest route from Denver to Leadville is by the Denver & South Park narrow guage railroad though he route vin Cannon City and ,he Arkansas Canon is probably the most picturesque. The ride over be mountains by the former route is .ertainly as exhilarating as could be wished. A few miles from Denver the railroad strikes into the canon of .he Platte, which it follows up rhrough a narrow gorge between the mountains for about fifty miles, gain ing an altitude at the summit of 10, 340 feet, or about 5,000 feet above Denver. The scenery through this ,anon is grand beyond description. At no place is it-much more than a stone's throw in width, and most of 6he way the railroad bed he been ex ,avated out of the solid rock. As we iscended the mountain cool breezes swept through the canon as through a Funnel; yet in spite of this little dis :omfort passengers cannot resist the temptation to ride on the platform of the cars in order to enjoy the grand lnd impressive scenery. On one side >f the track the Platte River, here a wild mountain stream, dashes down through the canon over an almost anbroken succession of rapids, and 3ataracts. Here and there a deep pool of clear water was provokingly suggestive of trout fishing, and the iisciples of Isaae Walton will invol antarily divide their attention be tween these tempting spots and the rocks that rose hundreds of feet on either side, worn by the river into all sorts of fantastic shapes, and some times appearing almost to close over the river and railroad. It is not an easy task to adequately describe this the most wonderful of all mining towns. There is iiothing ike it in Colorado, or anywhere else, and with all that has been written coneerning it only those who have been here to see for themselves have a very correct idea of the place. Though the rapidity of its growth is not such as it was three and four years ago, when the Leadviile exeite ment swept the entire land, yet it is still a wonder, growing and constant ly changing. It has from the first beEn like a kaleidosocope in the sud dienness of its transformations, though its colors were o'f the sin,plest kind, and of the most sombre, too. In the early days entire streets were opened up, built upon and settled within a week ; and even now stores, houses, log-eabins, arnd hotels spring up sud. de.nly, side by side. There is an opera house constructed out of rough pine boards, with its dress circle and gallery, and looking for all the woild like an unfinished livery stable. There are also variety theatres where the il legitiwate drama fiourishes to the de. light of sturdy miners.- Two years ago there was but one church and one school house here and the principal hoteliwas a two story frame building with neat gables ad an imitatiol mansard roof. The office of this hostelry is about six feet wide by sixt.cen long, and was evidently not planned for the accomniodation of loaf ers. That large ckss of the populatior are given room in b ar and billiari hall opening from the office. A soli tary barber plies his occupation at one end of the same apartment, charging 25 cents for a shave and 50 for a hair cut. The Grand has in its day turn ed away from 50 to 100 people a day over and above all it could accommo date with lodgings. Leadville has never been a particularly religious place, and even in the days when there was only one church to 10,000 inhabitants an audience of 50 worship pers was about the average. I have been told about the following notice posted in the old church, but have not seen it : 'Please do not shoot the organist; he does his best.' In the general character of the place there has not been much change from- what it was from the first, ex cept that the evidences of hasts are not so plentiful and the buildings are better and more substantially built and there is a little more of the at mosphere of permanency. But all the details I might give would after all afford the reader little.idea of Lead ville as it is, or its surroundings as they appear to the actual observer. Let one imagine himself penned up in the wildest fastnesses of the iacky Mountains at an altitude of 10,000 feet above the sea. He is literally on the mountain tops. Yet far above Leadville on every hand rise the bald crowns of the snowy range-desolate, bleak, and absolutely without vegeta tion of any kind. Here in the gul ches are forests of pine and evergreen, which extend far.up the sides of the adjacent peaks. But the timber line is as strongly marked and as clearly cut on every side as if human hands had been at work cleering away every trace of tree or shrub along the line of a survey, and as if the same hands bad planed off the mountain summit to the smoothness and barreness of a country school-yard. To the stran ger, coming from the luxuries and comforts of civilization, Leadville pre sents an aspect of unutterable desola tion. Approaching by the old stage road, one of the first indications which the stranger has that he is in the vicinity of a city is the rude cemetery which he passes at the lower end of Chestnut street. It is a gloomy, cheerless place, especially when seen in the late twilight, and is suggestive of many a tragedy in real life. Of the several hundreds who have been buried here, scores died among strangers, leaving nothing by which their friends in tho East might be found or informed of their fate. The little mounds arranged in rows be neath the few trees that have been left standing are bare of grass, and some of them are covered with the dry brown needles that fell from the pines in the early Spring. Plain board slabs stand for head-stones and tell the brief story that will be for gotten when they crumble and dis appear. The grave-yard of a new town is generally a chilling, desolate spot; that of Leadville is superlatively so. It was about the middle of the summer in 1878 that the value of Leadville as a 'carbonate camp' was discovered. California -Gulch on which the present town stands was an old mining camp, having been work. ed for .gold from 1859 to 1867, the yield running down from $5,000,000 in 1860 to about $150,000 in 186, when the diggings were abandoned. In those days it is said the gold miners caulked their log cabins with what they supposed was mud, but was really carbonate worth $400 a ton. Who discovered the carbonate is a disputed question, but there is no doubt that W. H. Stevens. of Lake Superio'- miuing fame, a resident of Detroit, was one of the first, if not the first, to undertake systematic muining operations for silver in this camp. Old Nevada and California miners offed at the idea of finding any. thing of value in the carbonates. They were soft, not hard. They were 'pancake deposits,' not veins. The oldest and wisest among them had never seens any metal extracted from z.uc-h .auff. Still, Stevens had his~ adherent,s too. Numbers of men swarmed upon the hills and began to sink shafts. They were speedily re warded. Of the results which fol lowed ; the fabulou6 fortunes that have been made and the vast interests that have been developed, I shall have to tell you in an another letter. SPOT. Solomon was the first man who pro Sposed to part the heir in the middle. OLD FIRE HORSES. The Ruling Pasion Strong Even in Old Age. From Peck's Sun. 'The runaway on Chestnut street Sunday morning was a queer affair, and wasn't a runaway either. It will be remembered that a number of old horses that had been nsed by the fire depart ment were s9>ld at - auction last week. One of them, a sleepy old fellow, was sold and traded around until he got into the hands of a man who peddled milk. The old horse thought he had struck something that just suited him in his old age, and he trotted along with the milk wagon as handily as possible, and the .German peddler who did not know anything of the former employment of the fire horse, smoked his pipe in peace, ! and emptied his milk in pitchersi as though there was no care on his mind. Sunday morning.the Ger. man was delivering some alleged milk into a girl's tin receptacle on Chestnut street, when the fire bell struck 317. The old hosre sim ply raised his fore feet in the air and miade a jump before the old man could pull up on the reins, when the beast was stopped. We presume there never was a more astonished German in the world than this one milk man- was, cov ered with spilled milk, and looking over his shoulder at his customer he found that he had emptied a quart of milk on her neck, and it was seeking its level, while she was looking at a broken pitcher on the sidewalk, and swearing at the milkman in English that was nearly as badly broken as the pitcher. By the time the peddler got his. horse quieted the fire en-. gine and hook and ladder truck and I hose cart came across the bridge,the alarm ringing and the crowd yell- t ing, and then it was that the old horse hitched to the milk wagon 1 began to smell woollen burning. He started on a run, the milk wagon rattling and the German trying to hold the horse with one hand while he kept six milk cans right side up with the other hand and both legs. Going over the first crossing a milk can jumped into the air and came down bottom side up into the German's lap. He fairly floated in milk, while he yelled: 'Whoa dui for "Mmma shimmel,' or something of that nature. The milk wagon kept ahead of the engine, and at every stroke of the bell the old horse gave an extra jump, until he had arrived at the store from which the sm->ke proceeded, when he turned the milk wagon up to a hydrant on the corner and stopped so quick that the driver went over the dash board with a milk can pounding him in the ear. The rest of the fire apparatus stopped at convenient points, and the old horse looked over his shoulder as much as to say to t.he other fire horses: 'You thought old Tom was played out, but I no tice his flag is still there, and he can teach you gr'een colts a thing or two about a fire department.' The old German got out and wiped the* milk out of his neck, set the cans right side up, kicked the horse in the stomach, and as a saloon keeper looked at the hydrant and asked the old man if he was going to water his milk, the peddler got-into his wagon and drove off to find the girl with the milk in her hair and said : 'Well, I tink dot old horse vas a crank. He yoost act like crazy yen a red-headed girl comes out mit a bitcher for milk.' (;hloral, in undergoing decom position within the body, divides into two products, the one chloro form the other a soluble salt. There is many a man whose tongue might govern multitudes, if he could only govern his tongue. Thirty per cent. of forest is con sidered the best proportion for the most beneficial effect on climate. A LADY'S TOAST TO THE MEN. -At a literary meeting Mrs Duniway 'toasted' tee men as Pollows: God bless 'em. We halve their joys, double their sorrows, treble Lbeir expenses, quadruple their -ares, excite their affections, con trol their property and out maneuver' them in everything. Thi would 'le a dreary world without men. In fact, I may say, without 'em it would not be much of a world any how. Wo love 'em, nd the precious tellows don't know it. As husbands, they are lways convenient, though not Jhways on hand. As beaux they re by no means matchless. They re most agreeable visitors; they re handy at state fairs and indis. )ensable 'at oyster.saloons. They re splendid escorts for some other ellow's wife or sister, and as rieods they are better than wo. nen. As our fathers they are in ;xpressibly grand. A man may )e a failure in business, a wreck n constitution, not enough to oast of as a beauty, nothing as L legislator for woman's rights, tnd even not very brilliant as a nember of the press, but if he is a ather we overlook his -sbort ;omings, and cover his peccadillos with the divixe mantle of charity. Chen, as our husbagds, how we ong to parade them as paragons. In the sublime language of the nspired poet : We'll lie for them, We'll cry for them, And if we could we'd fly for them, We'd do anything but die for them. Many oZ our clergymen in nam ng a hymn to be sung during livine service say, 'Let us praise Xod in singing' such a hymn ; but s it not true that the singing as endered in some of our churches, md as regarded by a considera )le proportion of the congrega ion, is not a praise service offered o the great Giver of all good, but -ather an artistic performance to e approved, though utterly desti ;ute of devout feeling or real wor ihip, if it accords with what is alled musical taste, and to.be :ondemned, however sincere and ieartfelt, if not satisfaetory to the ritical ear of the musician ? We gould by no means decry good nusic, but we believe a sad mis ;ake is made when devoutness and 3raise are less considered than iarmony; when irreligious per ions are. secured t', conduct this art of our service, and sound is *egarded as of more importance ;han the uplifting of the heart to sod. The Queen of Italy .is said to >e fond of the picturesque. Then the sight of a fat man with a long nastache trying to eat soup ought ;o fill her with delight. - - It is most true that a natural and secret hatred and aversion to ward society in any man, bath somewhat of the savage beast. Injection of zinc chloride into the body, either by an artery or rein, is said to be a safe and inez pensive mode of embalming. The truly illustrious are they who do not court the praise of the world, but perform the actions which deserve it. -Don't be anxious until you are compelled to be ; many a man worries about a ghost that never papears. It is one of the worst errors to suppose that there is any other path of safety except that of duty. Any article of food containing oxalic acid, as the garden rhubarb plant, should be e aten with mode ration. To be a criminal is to be afraid of th'e day because you see, and of the night because you do not. Circumstances are beyond the control of man, but his conduct is in his own power.
