I was EcttliiK ui tyno In tlieotllco of The IlliiomliiRtrm .Spike one bright ilny In February, 18SJ, when I lienril H voice nt thu window saying: "Hello, Seiigrnvesl Witti' to hold down yer claltnr" The speaker was sneering nt mo through Ills mlitetieil liutiils. I shook my lieail, but lnotloneil for liim to cotuo in, which ho did. As lio stood licforo tlio rusty cannon stovo I rcuionstrateil with him for Ills rashness. 'Now. I'm an honest man. Moore. I don't want to take advantage of anyone, not oven a drummer for farm nmchinory. The fact N, I'm dnngerous. Why, there ain't a man In tills territory that would ask me Id go out on the pralrlo wth liltn u lie Knew my it-corn, rm sure death." " hat uo you ineauf Explain your-. self." "I will. I'vo been out on that pre emption ot initio promptly nt the end of every thirty days ever since tho last day of October, and every time It stormed damnably. The flrst time it rained, the next timo ll snowed and blowed like tho devil imd all, and tho last time Murray and I went out to the claims we spent three days In his twelve by fourteen shanty with the horses. Why, I can't go to Heron or Ilellepluln but a terrible storm sweep? down on tlio poor people. Therefore the boys light shy of ino." .iiooro was whistling through his teeth at my yarn. Ho didn't put much 1m p irtancp upon it. oni l knownllnboutthat: but I don't scare wotth a cent, and, besides, look nt the sun shining out there. Now, you get yer tosnery on and we'll bo ofT after din ner, li.illey's going too. Now rustle-r-I'll seo you later." l his seined the matter, ana accordingly I got things Into as good shnno as nosslblo in the olllce, and went enrly to dinner nt the ostern liouso. The boys nt the tablo were also talking about going out on th'efr claims, and cursing Sparks, of tho land olllce, because of tho ruling which obliged mem to no on the pre-emption once a month, no matter what tho weather might be. 'I guess we're about all in the same fix," said ;Adnms; "there's IJalley and Muore ami Shelby, myself and" "And peatjrnves," 1 said, quietly. "Wh-a-atl Not you, Seagravcs?" "You bet I am." "That tettles my hush; If Seagravcs goes, I don't, you can bet high on that. I'm not ready to turn jiji my toes for the coyotes to gnaw." (ientlemen, I'm sorry for you, but I'm going to break my record or try a dylmi." And about a o'clock, behind Jlooro's llttlo team, well nigh bnried In blankets and robes we drew out of the main street and headed west, amid a chorus of yells. 'f!it there, i:U! Seagravcs is sure death! puh on tho reins;" etc. The sleighing was excellent, and the vast level plain, a baro as tho bosom of a frozen sea, win sparkling under a brilliant sun shining from a deep blue sky. Our conre lay straight into the wilderness to the west, a distance of nearly thirty miles ,-un easy tup It tuo roiuis are good all tho way. llalley and Moore kept up a lively clint tcr over their lingo bulfalo coat collars, and hailed every pusslng team with jolly shouts, nnd when we were about ten miles on our way Italley said: "Igues, Seagravcs will escape this time." I lifted my head and took a look at the northwestern Bkyj then said: "No, boys, we're in lor ll, burn," And wo were; for, borne on tlio wing ?f the north wind, a great fleecy dome of cloud, slaty blue below and sliver whito above, was rising, vast, wide as the north ern horizon, seamless dim and noiseless, sweeping with the speed of a shadow upon us, Thu day was yet brilliant, but the frost whlto edge of the cloud had already slid ncnim the fuce of the sun, making tho depth of the durk blue dotno more ominous niid stern. It would be dark lu two hours. "Well, boys, tho blizzard Is coming, sure, nnd there, are just tuo tilings to do . push on as hard us we can for the claim or turn back," "There's no turning to this crowd," Moore replied, as he touched tlio ponies with a whip. I submitted, though with some misgivings, I urn free to confess. Tho road was getting worse now, as wo were getting beyond thu settlers' shanties, nnd beyond thu travel to and from the town. Houses grew more and more in frequent, tho wind began to rise, and the sninv to sift along tho plain, softly, spas mo ic illy, yet insidiously, and almost be fine wis knew it the road was full ot drifts, Wherever a "tuft of weeds or a clump of uubnrnod grass stood, a drift had funned, stretching out its solid bulk ntruss our track like u huge lazy iolur bear, over which the ponies were forced to draw thu sleigh. The sun was entirely hid soon nfter, and occasional Hakes of snow struck the ace like threats, whllo the wind, growing colder, bit most savagely. The prairie was burned bare here, and the sliding snow ran like tongues of llnmo hero nnd there, or spread like silver white ocean foam upon tho side of some smooth, black ened knoll. We passed many shanties, hut they were empty, for tho most purt, the owners having moved back east for the winter. Tho further we went to tho west, the wilder and more bare thepralrlo jiecamoj soon WP would be outside the lino of actual settlement. Ilaljcy wn3 In tending to gut oil at a point about live miles before wn reached Moore's claim. Ills claim lay four tulles due south from a certain corner stake, which wo were to pass very soon, but ns wo wero npproath lug tho btuke Moote and I determined to keep him with us, and not allow of. his making his venture nt night. Accord ingly, Mooro pulled up hort,,npil we both looked Immovably at our friend. Ualley was a bravo man when there was any thing depending on the venture, but ns ho rose to his feet looktd nronnd him he hesitated, It was a fearful scene. As fur as the eye could penetrnto tho stability of the prairie seemed changed to tho furious lashings ot a foam white waste of waters. Great waves of snow met, shitted, spread, raced like wolves, Joined nsaln, rose, buf feted each Pher till puffs of tine snow sprang lutq the air, like spray, only to fall and melt In the sliding streams. All was unreal, ghuslly. No sky, but u formless, impenetrable mass ot flying Bnow; no earth except when a sweeping gust laid baro a long streak ot blackened sod that had the elfect, the terrifying clfect, of a Iiollow, fathomless trough befwecu the ilsslng waves, nnd over, all the night nnd empest were speeding like Uia (light ot twin eagles, Our companion set his teeth nnd mode as If to bprlng out nnd set forth. ''Sit dnwn," we shouted. "Po you Intend to commit suicide)" And, lti a laugh at his relieved expression, wo pushed the ponies on toward the west, "We must bo merclleiis now. We are too far on to turn back, and If we are uot delayed wo can reach the shnnty beforo deep night," I shouted In tho car of the driver. There were now but two Bhantles Where we know of people living, and lioth 61 tbeso were some miles from our desti nation, One of these we soon reached nftr passing the corner stake alluded to. It was a small fromo shanty, banked to tlio roof with snow and sods Indeed, tho roof was also of sods, laid on for addi tional warmth. It was low and mean looking at ordinary times, but now, as tho door opened and tho red light streamed out over the drifts glinting through tho falling snow, Itjiml a singularly nttrnctlte look. Tho housewas lull txfoverllow'lng, vfe were told, and there were no pliices for our horses at all; they would have to stand out If wo stnld. "Hut wo ain't gotn' to stay," said Moore, grimly, as he pulled out Into tho road, now a mere trail, to bo followed with tho greatest difficulty. Just after turning Into this faint track there came a team of lprses rushing to lucct us. As they passed ua at a swift gallop wo saw that, attached .to the ' har ness of one, wrts a boy's hand sled, upon vrhlcli a long plnhk was bound, nnd lastly a young fellow lying atop, on his side, lu tie way boys coast down hill. He had a round, red face, on which was a fearless laugh, and ho shook tho reins above his npblo team and plunged Into the dark ness of the east on his way to the settle ment. Tho storm had steadily Increased In violence, though each stngo seemed tho limit of Its fury. The cold grew ever bitterer, tho night was almost upon us, and the snow tilled tho air, nnd we could sto but a few rod3 In any direct ton; but our only resource was to press on out on tho prairie, wrapped In madly swirling cjouds of snow, lint we were all western born, nnd not only knew our danger, but ' how to meet It as well. Our trail was en tirely lost, nnd there was nothing left but td steer by the wind nnd the section lines. For a mile or more we had beeu following a. furrow which had been plowed nlong tho section line, and wo must now leavo Hint and bear to the southwest. Therefore, taking the wind (which wo knew to be In the northwest) on our right sjiouliler, we struck out lu it straight lino f9r the place where, we knew tho shanty belonging to Moore must be. We ought to come near enough to it to seo tt as we passed; if not well, we didn't like to think of that. As our course must be made with the greatest care, Moore drove, while llalley and I .look turns In Rigidly keeping the wind upon the right car, und In walking In the track behind. The track was kept stratglit Jn this way nnd in creased our chances of finding the house. We wero now moving in a circle of half light, outside of which, 100 feet away, was darkness. Without this half light nil wns distorted, fantastic. A sage bush, a clump of weeds, or a tuft of grass assumed huge proportions, nnd through tho treacherous gloom looked like n barn or a stack of liny In the further reach of the eye. A bit of shlnglo not fifty feet from my eye looked so like n cabin on tho side of a distant swell that I called Joy fully to my companions, that I had found the house. It frightened, mo when, ri few steps further on, I catno to tjio ,.wind blown bit of wood, and my vision of the house and the snowy hill faded out into tho depths of the storm. The snow flew so thickly that we could not see the ponies at times ns they labored heavily through the deep snow, for we were on the un bumed prnlrlo now nnd the snow was mid leg deep. Around me I heard the multitudinous trampling of the snows, the fluttering of Innumerable wings, the sheer weight of an army of foes pressing ngalnst us, small as units, a terrible forco taken together. There wero swirls here and there, which opened vistas In which the mind put vague pictures of battles between ghostly adver saries, and then the snow camo down upon ns ay, it seemed to leap up from beneath, fall from above, as well as drive on the level terrific blast, like sand from a tube. At intervals we would stop, and gp ns far ns we dared to the right and leit, and, btooplng down, look under tho snow to discover tho house. Our courso since leaving the section line was so slow and painful that It seemed ns though wo hnd beeu traveling more than an hour, and flnnlly Moore pulled up and turned to me with n look of grim resolution on his faro that told that wo had arrived at tho same conclusion, "Seagraves, we're in for It. Wo'vo passed the shanty without seeing It." "That's about my Idea. And more than that, I will not go a single step further In that direction. There is nothing but a trackless prairie out there. Our only hope now is to turn to tho southeast and keep going till wo strike the settlement. It tho ponies keep up, we're all right." "That's about the size of it, if we've gone by the shanty, for my claim is about the last one In the township, nnd the next Is unsurveyed. So we'd better turn and strike for the Norwegian settlement south of here. But whero's llalley?" True enough! I sent my eye around the circle; he was not In sight. While we were talking he had lost sight ot us, and mak ing a detour to see the house, if jiossible might be ahead or behind us; we could not tell. We looked at each other an In stant in fear, then halloed lu chorus. No reply. If ho were to the south his cries could not reach us; nnd If to the north ours could not reach him. Again we shouted, and aealn listened. No reply, though we Btralned our ears In the steady, ceaseless roar and scream ot the storm. For tho first time I was afraid. In buch a ferocious tempest and in such deadly cold a man could not Uvo long. We took turns lu shoutiug, but no reply came', till a lull in tho wind not only left the air clearer, but softened the tumult lu the ar, and w o heard n faint cry In the dls tnnco "nelpl" It seemed so far oil that it had no more forco than tho co ot it kitten. We could not tell whether it was on the earth or lu the sky, or whether wo imagined It. but soon it camo again. "He's nt our left," snld Moore, pulling the horses about nnd following the cry. At every few rods wo would stop and shout, and listen for his cry, whch grew -ach moment stronger, but' he was not approaching us, ho wns waiting for us. to coino to him. Soon we wero within speak lng distance and he wns directing us where to And him. It wns strange that he did not approach us. We thought he must have met. with some accident, when, suuucuiy no stood oestue us, witu a sitigloAvord, "Follow me," he started off. the horses following him. We could not see him, but we knew ho. was ou the track ot something. Soon we came .upon a small barn heavily banked with Bnow, nnd with hoarse cheers wu shook hands and yelled, "I told you sol" We had lilt thu barn, and, the house was neur.by and easily reached, Without stopping tq talk of onr good luck, we sprang out, and lu a few mo meals the iwules were sufu from tho bllz zard, their noses deep In some hay nnd oats. After rubbing tho Ice and snow from their conts, aud'stlrrlng the circular tlon anew In their stiff and weary legs, we gathered our robes and things lu our arms aud, made for the house, which wo reached in a short, breathless run. It was n frame building, 18x'M, which Moore had erected for a summer resi dence a mere shell of a thing, with only one tmcKness oi uoartis ou the sides, through which the snow drifted; and as there was no banking, tho cold air also streamed un turoucu the floor: but rela tlvely It was a palace. It was shelter and light, lor there was a stovo aud some kind ling and a box of coal, We need not freeze for ono night, anyway. We soon had a roaring fire In the rusty stove and a light In nn unwashed tubular lantern.

The lan tern threw a red light over us through Its smoky side, and the open Jaws of the coal stovo brought out every lino of our faces as though wo were tho witches In "Mac betji" huddled around tho caldron. On our heads the sifted snow fell nt Intervals llko showers of red flakes of gold, wlille the frail structure creaked and groaned In the blast, the snow lashed the windows, nnd rushed like a pack of wolves about the door. After food and warmth, wo snt thus tnlking and singing till we felt weary and sleepy with the cold; nnd then our host led us to the Jipper story of tho house, where the bed stood which Moore used when he came to sleep on his claim, and upon this we piled our blankets nnd rones, and then crept under them. outside the storm lashed and hissed like ,nn ocean. There was n fluttering roar, as of myriad wings, a rattle of dis tant musketry, the howling of Innumer able wild ieas.tg, and tho wnlla of women In ngony. Thoro were vnaue sounds of rushing, of swirling, nnd the tinkling as of distant, fulling, driving sand. 'I re member wnklng in tho night nnd listen ing In nwo to the tumult, fancying tho wind some nuge oeast disappointed of his prey, and wreaking his rage on tho wood of our frail retreat. He seemed to grasp and shake tho liouso as a lion would a rat, whllo his voice sank ton deep rnucous snarl of convulsive fury.

And I shnll never for get how It looked as I stepped out Into the morning nir: Llko an entcrnat changeless sea Of burnished marblo lay tho plain, In dazzliup, shoreless, soundless waste, Horizon ght, without aetata.

There was no receding swell upon this ocean, ns upon the Atlan tic; on the contrary, it looked so marble like aud still that one could hardly Imag ine It ever .being moved again.

Orljrln of Ilea.s Itritln Work nml Health. Professor Francis Mlnot lectured re cently nt tho Harvard Divinity school on the health ot professional men. The lect ure Included three topics: Tho actual condition of the henlth of professional men; their peculiar disease, and tho best mode of doing professional work. Under the term professional men, wo Include physicians, lawyers, clergymen, writers. scientists nnd teachers. Dr. Mlnot said the health of nrofes- sonnl men ought to be ns good ns that ot other people, for they hml good shelter, good rood, and wero not exiwsed to ex tremes of wenther and noxious surround ings, and were not tempted to dissipation and excess. This Inference wns Rhowu to be correct by statistics. longevity wns not always intended by good health, but old age wns generally the reward of a healthy life. Statistics of tho nge nt death uf over 200,000 pcoplo In Massachu setts showed that, while tho averngo ot nil wns about 02, tho averngo age of pro fessional men wns n little over 02, Includ ing nctors nnd photographers. Ot real professional men the average ago was itbout 01); of judges, CO; of clergymen, CO; of professors, 08; of physicians, 07; of lawyers, over 00. A DIFFERENT RESULT. Statistics complied In Englnnd showed n dlllercnt result, for while clergymen were there also longer lived than lawyers or physicians, pliysicinns were the short est lived of professional men. During three consecutivo years tho death rato ntoong physicians was 20 In 100; nmong lawyers, 20, and much less among the clergy. This dlllerence wns remarkable. It could not be explained by tlio irrcgulnr life, lack of rest and overwork of medical ujen, for those conditions applied to Amer ican pliysicinns, and was probably duo to tne met tnnt many I'.ngusu doctors spend yfars in India, whence they return with liupalred health. There wasa general re sqmblnnco In the mode of living ot law yers and physicians; they were obliged to exercise more aud there was more variety lu their lives than in those of clergymen nod professois. The great longevity of ministers must be attributed to modera tion, temperance nnd freedom from anx iety ns to pecuniary matters. Dr Mlnot then reviewed briefly tho orl- gtn of diseases in trenernl. nnd gaiil tnnnv of them would disappear as soon ns their cquscs becnino known. The danger to tne neniin or proiessionai men my in their sedentary life. They should warm their stiidlos nnd offices with ppen ilres rather than with furnace heat, nnd Bupply less oxygen in consequence of greater rareflca- tipn of tho air.

Professional men often suffered from what was popularly known as bllioty.ne.ss, which was due to insufficient oxerjcifjo.lu tlie open air; .from this ill lavr'yors niid physicians vcro.freer than clergymen and writers. WORK AND RELAXATION. From work professional men gained their livelihood and their happiness,. nnd. tlio question was, How can one do tin most work with the least Injury? The work should be uniform us regards hours, with intervals of relaxation, durlm: which thu mind should be completely withdrawn from one s work. There wero many In stances .ot the beneficial cifects of this alternation of employment.

It was n natural Inference .whenn professional man died of apoplexy that ho died of overwork, but npoplexy wns ns liable to be caused by physical overwork as by mental. Tho professor closed with three examples of the effects of the rules he had laid down: Darwin, who by regu larity performed an enormous amount of wprk, In spite of ill henlth and intense pain; Dr. Little, whose rule ot life In cluded the twenty-four hours of tho day, and ho generally worked uutll-u in the morning and roso nt 8, look a vacation of one month every year, and lived to bo nearly 60; n distinguished London phy sician, Dr. Bird, who nt 40 hud built up a practice worth 70,000 it year, but who died soon after, broken down by over work. Bostou Advertiser. Working for Other Men. All honest men are working for other men. If a man works exclusively for himself, he Is a counterfeiter, or a forger, or a sneak thief, or perchance a high wayman. All love of industry, all love of integrity, nil love of kludred, nil love of neighbor, all love of country nnd nil love of humanity is expressed In labor for others. For this servico thus performed a right to a reward Is required, and he for whom thu servico Is performed has Imposed upon him tho duty to render the reward, nnd the service Is rendered in tho hopo of the reward. Everywhere In civilized society men are thus work ing fur others. Kvery man, In all tho years of his labor, tolls for Ills. fellow man, and the, practice Is universal .ninqng pjl honest clyllized men, upd'.lat.from generation to genera tion; and universal practice Is gradually becotiiingcryUUi'dlntojmlviTSnlhalt.

The bitterest drop In tho cup of eternal woe Is "the w rath of the Lamb" of tho loving Saviour. Ills wprds are stern and uncompromising, for they were founded on Justice, preceded by mercy nnd love. ,Tho Pharisees as a party date from the time, of the Maccabees. Literal obedience to tlio written law and tradition was thoir ruling principle. Tho founders of the party were genuine reformers, but their descendants de generated Into that which was false and mil.

Tho severity of our Lord's language is a prece dent for rebuke, but no precedent for mob nuthorlty nnd power of rebuke.

Christ undoubtedly had In mind hero the treatment he was eventually to re ceive from the Jews. V. 30. There is a cumulative forco in sin. The final punishment at last succeeds the long scries of sins. Men by sin can make the guilt of past ages '.ir own. Josephus gives most hcartreudi.ig account of tho fulfill ment of this prediction, how 000,000 dead bodies were carried out of tho gates of Jeru salem, and how "the Area of burning houses weroquencued witn human blood." V. 87. Tho thundering "woes" give way to a plaint of tenderest emotion for tho doomed city. The Lord deeply regrets that they had spurned the offers of mercy made them, not only by himself while in the flesh, but in all ages by his servants. "How often," implies tue irequent oirors oi ms pardon and grace. I would," is tho dlvmo side, and "ye would not," is the human side. The whole scheme of salvation, tho coining of Christ, his min istry among men nnd his death for thuin. show that God desires their salvation. The reason that they are not saved is that they win not como to nun. ihe bitterest Ingredi ent In tho cup of tho wicked Is that they de stroyed tuemseives. . Sa. Jesus left tho temple on this occa sion never again to enter it, Onco it was called "My house," "lly father's house," now he speaks of It as "your house." A temple without Jesus' presence meant desolation for it, dispersion of the Jews aud tho ruin ot their land. Julian, the apostate, nttempted to rebuild and restore the templo, but failed. Its doom Is sealed till Jesus comes again. y, SI. Our Lord now closed his publlo min istry among them. They saw him no more hi his Messiaic work nnd operation.

When their conver sion has taken place, then shall they hall Mm as their king.
