Then look with =~» more or less, of intervening atmos_( pHere be favorably conditioned. ~_agine-that-its-glassy breast bears . The lakelet that enraptured you DISTANCE LENDS ENCHANTOn the afternoon of a fine day when you have no more urgent or profitable business on hand, climb to the summit of Sugar Loaf mountain which towers heavenward from the northern~boundary. of this fair city. Gauge ycur travels so that the ascent will have been “completed when the gilded-god of _ day has approached to within about two hours’ journey of the western _horizon, and its rays strike aslant your sharp and critical eyesin a somewhat southerly direction till you have discovered what appears tobe the most desirable piece of realty within the whole scope of your vision. You cannot make a mistake in the selection if your eyesight be comparatively youthful, and the two or three miles, It appears to be a park including perhaps fifty acres of as .beautiful-" ly situated land as ever laid out of doors, all under the highest cultivation. Romantic paths and drive' ways can be seen winding their thread-like way here and there over the premises in graceful disorder. A lakelet glistens forth as brightly as the tear on a love-sick maiden’s cheek, and you will imsnowy swans and brightly-painted pleasure boats. The center of this charming picture is elevated to a harmonious degree, and the grassy slopes culminate up there at the base of a palatial house which displays in all its exterior parts the very poetry of the world’s choicest architecture. Every angle in the It is ‘‘with glistering spires and pinnacles adorned,” as Milton was once led to remark, andthe sunlight striking upon its many windows causes them to give back rich tints of loveliest combinations. Look once upon this picture, from the bald peak of old Sugar Loaf, and it will live forever in your mind’s eye. That is, it will thus survive if you do not court the intimacy that we aretold always breeds disappointment and often times contempt. Such courting, if yearned for, can be done in this case by betaking yourself to the locality that has so charmed you from afar. Amazing transformation! ‘All that aspect. Thelandis scarred with mining cuts and rock-lined ravines through which course streams of murky ‘‘slickens”’ in solution. The drives and walks are resolved into an abandoned wagon road and two or three cowpaths, _}the dead stumps ot some tall trees ‘. forest fires, and now grimly wait ‘. maintain them upright. The color-painting wasall doneon a few]. * J. W. Upton, do J.C. Conaway, do W. H. Totten, do Geo. Mainhart, do a tering spires and pinnacles” are that were in the long ago riveniby lightnivg bolts, or ravishedby for the teeth of decay to. gnaw through the few sound fibers that small windows of the hovel, and the variety of the hues was principally due to the different degrees of filth that encumbered the panes. The extent of this feature of the display received a helptig hand from the imagination of the ob~ server. . Now, from all this a lesson of great value can be learned, and to none will that lesson be more beneficial than to the people of Nevada county. From their point of ebservation are almost daily shown by the press glowing accounts of great gold deposits being discovered in various parts of the universe. The pictures are of course fair ones to gaze upon, and in many instances the venturesome, inquiring souls to whom they are presented cannot withstand the temptation to more closely inspect them. In the great majority of cases, the pursuit of the picture ends in disappointment and consequent financial loss. The enchant. ment lent to the view by the _softening influences of distance fades away. The memmoth African, Mexican, or Australian ledges of ore that are said to contain unlimited mineral wealth shrink upon close approach of the prospector to stringers carrying abare trace of the royal metal. Gravel diggings described as replete witl? auriferous wealth prove profitless when actually worked. After enduring the hardships and privations as long as he can bear up under them, the beguiled searcher after sudden and unlimited wealth retraces his weary steps homeward, bringing with him-a-sore heart and a big stock of maledictions for the deceivers who led him astray with their counterfeit representations. The lesson is a 8evere one, but not always lasting in its good effects. There ara some things that it isn’t human nature to learn. One of these unlearnable things is to let well enough alone.
