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

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

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.
