Susan walked slowly along behind the prairie schooner, driving the pmall herd of cattle belonging to her brother-in-law. The roads were a little muddy in some places there had been a rain the night before but she was tired of riding in the wagon and walking rested her. She formed a part of the procession going West. It was a long one, scattering over miles and miles of coun try ; mule teams, ox teams, lean teams, fat teams, all heading toward the land of prom ise, the West. They were going in bands of two, three or four families, and again one family alone. Some of them were mechanics who knew nothing of farming and just as little, of the land they were going to and the spot on which they would stop. Others were fanners who had sold out comfortable homes to go West and buy more land. In Susan's part of the procession were two fam ilies, her sister Mary, with her husband, Thomas Smith, and their son Adoiphus, or Dolph, and Cyrus Ilolnian with his old moth er. Susan trudged along, driving the cattle before her. Far and wide, as great a dis tance as she could see, was the green country dotted with its comfortable white farmhous es and large barns. She thought it a fine country, indeed, and wondered how soon they were to stop, not knowing they were to travel more than one hundred miles yet, for Susan was an ignorant joung woman, with small knowledge of geography, and was not quite certain whether Dakota was a county in the State of Minnesota or the re verse. Suddenly, as she walked along, she came in full sight of a town set in among the bluffs a neat, pntsperous, busy town, with a great many brick houses and green trees. She called to Dolph to come and drive the cattle, and got into the wagon f-he did not want to go through the town on foot. The town was full ot people, farm wagons were standing close together down both sides of the main street, and the white tops of the prairie schooners like their own were visible here and there. They stopped at a grocery to buy some necessary articles of food and then went on. The- came to a tall, red brick school-house. It was recess and the children played alwtit in the yard, so many of them, Susan had never sceu so many to gether in her life. The teachers were stand ing in the broat". doorway, and away up in the third story was one with a pretty, girlish face," watering some plants in the window. She looked wonderfully stylish to Susan's eyes, and she looked upon them as being very wealthy and important personages. The two men and Dolph stopped to gather the seeds that had fallen from the maple trees around the large yard. They wanted them to plant on the treeless prairie where they were going. The boys on the play- ground rather resented it as an infringement j of their rights, but through a wholesome i wood to them in a day or two. The woist i feeling of awe for the principal who was ; road is ltelow here and they've got that mast watching them they confined themselves j clear ; but if it blows again, God help them ; j mostly to mutterings of discontent among 1 they're all goners, every live one of them." j themselves ; one of the most defiant, liowev- The early winter twilight had begun to dar- er, telling the men to G'way and let them j fcen the bright, clear day, when Cyrus start j things lie," and muttering to a companion, ; ej for home. The wind began to blow, too, 1 e can get nity cents a ieck for them seed down town, an' I want to go to the circus." Presently the bell rang from the tower, and the children and teachers disappeared in the house, while the men came back with their basKets of seeds and the wagons jogged along. On and on they went, camping at night by some spring or small lake and tr.ivelin day, till the comfortable farm-houses haddis - appeared, the small towns were thingof the onlyprairie and grass, and grass and prairie, with now and then an alkali sink, or some i new settlei's shanty, or dug-out. They be- , gan to look about for a place to stop and to j inquire ot every man they saw, and they ' were few indeed, if there was vacant land ; near there. It all looked vacant enough. j One day they met a man going back the way they had come, and across the top of ids j schooner was painted in large letters, "Goin ! home tew my wifes foaikes." "Better turn j about," he told them, "I've been in the j blasted country nigh a month and there ain't a tree nor a shrub to break the monotony ex ; cept here and there a house, and you need a microscope tew see that. Look at my ani miles. they was good and fat when I come j out here, but you'd have tew swing 'em twice tew make a shadder and be mighty quick about it or' the sun would shine I through." I Xot an encouraging report, but they ier , severed and finally settled down, vhere, be sides the two little houses they built with lumber purchased of the railroad company, there was only one house in sight and that also a very small one. But they were near the railroad, that was a great gain, and they r went vigorously to work to break what they U ' , , , . . T 1 , couiu ami prepare ioi winter, jiwiis.siow work, but trusting to the long, warm fall, of which they had been assured by older set tlers in one place and another on their jour ney, they expected to bc ready for the cold winter. But one day near the middle of October it grew suddenly cold, the wind began to blow and the snow to fall, and in a day and night the whole country was covered. "There is a drift 1,300 feet long and twenty deep on the track east of here," the operator in the little depot told Mr. Smith when he went to make inquiries a day or two later. "I don't know how it is further west ; the lines are all down and I can't get word, but there won't !e a train here for a week, I presume." That was encouraging, certainly, when everything provisions, wood and ail depended on that train. The cattle had very poor accom modations, almost none, in fact. There had been uo straw to make sheds, as on an older farm, and the small amount of wild hay which, spread on the few poles, formed the roof, was little protection. Smith and his son Dolph shoveled a path to where the poor creatures stood huddled together, each try ing to crowd into the centre of the group to protect himself from the bitter wind that drove the snow in blinding clouds across the prairie. All that day the wind blew fiercely, an 1 the snow piled higher and higher. No train came, only a telegram from down the line saying the men were shoveling and try ing to clear the track, but the wind blew the snow into the cuts almost as fast as they dug it out. Their snow-plows were of little use ; the drifts packed so there was no beating through them ; nearly every engine available was damaged in some way, and the men must work on. Meanwhile the settlers along the line must wait a hard thing to do, with both wood and provisions running low, but they hoped it would soon be over and a sup ply couie to them. There rame a calm, still day, and they hoped more than before. Smith went to the little station again. A dispatch had just been received saying the road was nearly open, a train was within twelve miles of them, a passenger train that had Ixren snowed in on that road two days with nothing to eat except a little fruit the train boy had and a barrel of crackers that happened to be on board it was a mixed train and carried some freight, which accounted for the crackers. Cyrus, taking advantage of the lull in the storm, started for a little town on the rail road six m'les away, in the direction of the snow bound train. He went after supplies. Their stock was running very low, and it was utterly impossible for a horse to get through the drifts. He went on foot aud expected to bring the things on his back. It was past noon when he reached his destination, and he was very much fatigued, in fact, he thought he had never been so tired in all Ills life. "Come from up there, six miles," said the grocer when be told him how far he had come. "Good God, man, how did you get here? Is there anyone alive up there? You see we're half buried alive." Cyrus thought so when he looked along the street at the houses buried to the second story windows, some of theai those that had such a thing. ''We're most out of wood, too, been burn ing lumber, furniture, anything we could get hold of. Want something to eat, do you? Well, I'll let you have a little, you can't car ry much of course, but if you'd come yester day I wouldn't let you had much anyway, we're so short here, though I could not let folks starve. But will have plenty to-morrow likely, the train has moved up three miles to-day since morning and they'll send a freight right after them." Cyrus was glad to hear of the more hope ful condition of affaiis. "Lost any cattle up your way'.'" asked the man. "Not yet," said Cyrus, "we hadn't many. and they've managed to stand it so far, tho' it's pretty hard on them." . "You're lucky; now Jones down here j you don't know him, you're a new man j he's a cattle man, keeps 150 or 200 head all the time; he lost 1. 'to head the first night of the storm, went into the river. Cattle will do that, keep going and going to keep out of 1 the Sturm, and when they come to the river ; the hind ones keep pushing till they're all in. It's hard on Jones. He wasn't ready for j winter, none of us was." ! Some one came rushing in to say the lines were woikinc again unto the second town ; west and they had only half accord of wood. Only two fires, they said one in a haidware store, the other in a saloon, and people who could not crowd around them had gone to bed to keep warm. "If it only holds like this," said the gro- i Cer, "and the wind don't blow, they can get nn,i the snow to whirl in a threatening way. j ne settl ed his bag of provisions on his back . and tried to hurry on toward home. He had come by the sun in the morning, but now that was gone. The road was drifted so full of snow one could not tell where it had been, arid far and wide only the trackless prairie, looking as much alike, no matter which way he looked, as do different parts of the ocean, 1 and as the wind rose the snow flew and ' whirled about so that he could not see ten his face and blinded his eyes and filled his footprints as soon as made. He had walked until lie was very tiled and thought he must te nearly home, when he saw a light. That must bc home, and he hurried on. He was almost up to it, or he could not have seen it. It was in a small house which he knew at once was not his house. Tt .neemed strange to him. He opened the door and went in It was the grocery he had left he could not tell how long before. "Given it up, have you?" said the man. "I think that's the oest thing you can do ; shows your head's level. Didn't look much like it when you started to wade six miles after sundown." Cyrus looked at him. confusedly. "I must lie lost," said lie, slowly. "I thought I had got home." He held his hands out over the stove to warm them. "Look here, sir," said the man, coming up to him nnd beginning to lift the bag from his shoulders. "You stay right here : it ain't no i kind of weather for a man to be starting out ' over these nerrai ies ; you wait and have some supper nnd go to bed and start out when you have daylight ; it will be bad enough then. Sally," he called, opening a door nt the back of tho little store, "can't you get a bite for this man? He's got lost and must stay all night." Sally showed her rosy face at the door and avowed her willingness to have the bite ready in a jiffy, but Cyrus protested. He could not stay all night Mid leave his old mother out alone in that lonesome place to worry. He finally consented to eat some supierand started once more as soon as pos sible. The snow whirled into the door be hind him as lie went out "That's the end of hhn, according to my i way of thinking," said the man, looking af ter Cyrus, but not seeing him. The grocer i went back and shut the door. "This'll block the train3 again ; we're all done for, I Itelieve," said he, bitterly. Cyrus wandered on and on again. The snow beat in his face and blinded kim, but he did not stop, and once more, when he felt he could travel no longer, he saw the wel come light. Again he opened the door, and again he was at the little grocery. "I thought I was at home this time," said he, slowly, and more confused than before, as he stepped in through the door. The man was just putting oat the lights to go to bed. "Look here, sir," said lie, "it'll save con siderable trouble burying you if you go out again, but on the whole I wouldn't do it if I was you. Go to bed here and I'll call you and have you off by daylight." Nothing else could bc done. Cyrus saw he could not possibly reach home that night, and accepted the man's offer. "Now," said the man, as he prepared to start in the morning, "you've a tall walk be fore you, but it ain't blowing bardly so fu rious, and the sun shines a little, that'll help you about your course. You ain't so bad off in your mind, roost likely, as a feller on them snowed -in cars. He was going to be married a week ago to-day. nis girl' been here a-stewing about it all the week she and Sally's great friends. They've cooked up things three times and he's started three times and hid to fio back, till now he can't get back, the road's so full behind them. Her brother is going down to day to carry them the victual In hand-sleds. They'll be glad to see them, if they get there, but I doubt their getting there." Cyrus hastened on, full of anxiety con cerning his mother, and not without catise. She had dreaded to have him start, and bad begun to watch for his return long be fore it was possible for him to have traveled the distance. As night came on with its fly ing snow, her anxiety increased till she could bear it no longer. She went to the door and looked out, but of course could see nothing, except the blinding snow. She put a shawl over her head and went out. The wind nearly took her off her feet. She called Cy rus "Si !" "Cyrus !" but there was no an swer. She would try to go and see Mary and Susan she would not stay there all night alone. She pushed on, but the wind beat her about and the snow blinded her. She went aimlessly around and around for a while, then she grew tired and sank down in.the drifts. A feeling of dreamy sleepless ness came over her ; she lay very still, and only a corner of he shaw! and a long lock of her grey hair fluttered out above the snow. Up at neighbor Smith's the drifts grew higher and higher, the house fairly shook on its slight foundation. Just at lied-titne Smith thought be would go out and look at j the horses and see if they were all right He . went, but did not come back. Dolph went to look for him. an 1 he did not come back. The two women crouched in the house knew what it meant. Susan opened the door; the wind nearly took her off her feet. Mary was frantic she would go to look for them, but Susan held her back. They could not go to lied ; they wrapped the bedclothes altout them and sat down by the stove.ry ing. At last Susan went for more wood. There was none. What should they do? I They sat there a while longer till the fire had died out, then crept into a hole under the house which served the purpose of a cellar, There they Touched in the darkness all.night, talking a little in hoirificd whispers and weeping much. In the morning Susan crept up stairs and got a piece of a loaf of bread ; it was all they had to eat and no fire to cook more. They ate a little of it, but only a very little, and clung closer to each other as the day wore on. Were they to starve to death there? Sometimes they hoped they should, when they remember?d what had happened, and ; again they sobbed at the thought. It was night when Cyrus reached home. ' He stumbled on something near the house, j He stooped down and drew it out of the , snow. He staggered into the house with it j and stood wildly staring about the room, as i if he expected to see some one. When he came to his senses he knew his feet and j hands were frozen lie could not tell any j thing else for some time. When he could he picked the stiffened form from the, floor as j best he could with his frozen hands, laid it ' tenderly on the bed and made his way to i neighbor Smith's. The frightened women in the cellar were j wild when they heard his footsteps over i head, and still more frantic when he spoke ' to know if no one was there ; but finally : they understood who it was, and crept out of i their hiding-place. Mary broke the thick Ice : in the water pail and got cold water to take ; the frost from his hands and feet, and Su I sen seized the axe and demolished a couple j of chairs, with which she started a fire. They j had"bitter tales for each other, but it was a ! slight comfort to hear the sound of each other's voices, j The snow continued to pile deeper and ! deeper, and no train came with the longed ' for supplies ; but by burning the furniture ! in their own house aud that belonging toCy ' rus, which he brought to them, and finally the most of his house, procured in the same way, the three managed to keep warm, and live carefully on the small stock of provis ions which he had brought from town. He brought his mother's dead body and laid it in the. little bedroom, till there could be some way to dig a grave the men he could not find. When the train finally got through, they were all three living in one little room, in which stood a span of horses, to save their lives, the cattle having been nearly smother ed by the snow. When the train whistled jt was like news from another world ; they were saved. The Goat. The goat is a native of the vacant lots about the city, and there are lots of them. The goat is omnivorous ; he will goat any thing he sees, and he will seize anything that he may goat. His principal food, however, is play-bill. He is very fond of letters. Let us honor him for his love of bill let ters. The gentleman goat is called Billy, but he is a Billy that no policeman can handle. The lady goat is called a kid. Kids are on hand the year around. The goat is generous to a fault, ne pre sents a couple of horns t every body he sees. ! In the matter of mere cash, the Cashmere goat is the most famous. - Goat are fond of the outskirts of large cit- ies : also hoop-skirts. The goat wears a beard. It is call a goatee, though not confined to a gotit. The goat is noted for his bunting, but he never flags. The goat is one of the signs of the zodiac, signifying that he has a propensity to knock things sky high. Shakespeare understood the spontaneity of the goat when lie said : "Stand not upon the order of your going, but goat at once." The goat is a wide-awake animal, ne Is never caught napping, notwithstanding the many cases of kid napping 3-011 may read about. For many years the goat was the only but ter known.

Brooklyn Fn'iU. FL N AT EI) I) I Mi S. j THE HUMOROVS SIDE OF MATRIMONY AS OR- , fKKVF.D BY CI.EROTUF.N. Marriage is said to appall the stoutest . heart, and is generally encountered with fear and trepidation. It and death constitute ! the dread unknowns. Tins element of un certainty, joined with the solemnity of the occasion, seems to conspire lo evoke ludicrous , Incidents at weddings, and there is not a min- j ister in the land who has not a score or more : of them in his remembrance. As illustrat- 1 ing the nervousness incident to such occas- I ions, all of them have had similar experien- j ces to the one narrated below. ( A few jears since a young gentleman from ; the interior of the State came to the city for ; the purpose of meeting here and marrying a ' 5'onng lady who, Iteing left an orphan a year ; previous, had found a home with an aunt, ! who was decidedly opposed to the match. ; The plan was for the gentleman to come to Detroit on an early train, make the neces- sary arrangements and meet her at the de- I pot at 7 o'clock in the evening. Accompan- : iedby a friend, a parson was found who con- ' sented to having the ceremony performed in I bis own parlors, and, all preparations com- ; pitted, the gentleman repaired to a hotel for ; j a quiet smoke before the train should arrive, j I While so engaged the intended bridegroom j ' bethought lii 111 of the financial phase of the j transaction and inquired of his friend what j was tl,e '"stomary fe-, and how and when j lt was to bc l'i,u!. apologetically adding, with j a "ttle nervous laugh, "You see my Iwn-, 1 never was married Iwfore." The desired information was given, the soon-to-be Benedict withdrew to a side table. procured paper and an envelop, and indited a note to the clergy man thanking him for His ! , , . ,. . , ., d asking his acceptance of the , kindness, and inclosed, at the same time wishing he was able to give more. The reverend gentleman declares that newUhed the same, for the en- ve'"P m nf,t contain a penny. Almost equally common is the experience of marrying those who resort to all maimer of schemes to evade payment. A well-known . j clergyman narrates an instance in point. He j was then preaching at Dexter, when an ap j pareutly verdant couple came over to his study from the hotel. They had come to 1 town on purpose of being united by .this j clergyman, they said, and were going on a ; "tower." The ceremony over, the groom j thrust his hands deep into one pocket after ; another, and then with well-simulated an ! noyance, ejaculated : "I declar, Jane, I I have left my money in the trunk over at the ! hotel !" He would go right over and get it, and be back in. a minute. The clergyman, i however, had been bitten before, and bland- ly suggested that inasmuch as he was com ing back so soon the bride could wait there until his return. This arrangement seemed to be satisfactory and the groom started for the hotel. He soon returned and said : "Jane, I can't unlock that pesky trunk of your'n. You will have to come over ami do it." Evidently the trunk resisted their com bined efforts, for the clergyman never saw them afterward. In one instance the clergyman uimn going to a residence to perform the marriage cere monies found the contracting parties and their guests all seated in the parlors unmis takably awaiting Ins arrival. In a low tone lie requested them to rise, but the groom was nervous, the bride attracted, and neither heard the request. He repeated it in a some- what louder rone of voice, but the result was ; the same. Tnen one of the spectators reach- j ed forward and, giving the groom a Kke in j the back, whispered loud enough to le , heard all over the room "Git up, Gil, git up!" . One day as an old white-haired minister , was writing in his study, a domestic came in I with the announcement that a couple were j outside who wished to be married. lie told her to admit them, and in they came, three j pairs of them, ami ali arm in-ann. It was ! impossible to deride which was the pair, hut j selecting the moot confused-looking couple, ! he commenced the ceremony. All went mer I rily until it came to the charge. "If there I be any one among you who knows of any reason why this couple should not be joined , , ... .. . - .,.,! in wedlock, let him now sj.eak, or forever , hold his peace." Here the usual brief pause was made, out was quickly terminated by the groom ejaculating, in a suppressed voice, "Go on, parson, go on ! There ain't 110 rea son !" One of Detroit's oldest clergymen narrates an incident that occurred soon after he lo cated here, when he knew but little of the j people and nothing whatever of the locali i tics. He was waited upon by a nojc very rre- possessing looking man, who wished him to come down to, Franklin street to "marry me and Lize." To the minister, Franklin street sounded as aristocratic as would Washington street, but he admits that he was a trifle ta ken aback when lie followed the guide into ti.o boos ami found H was a saloon.

And why '.'

Oh, you can't ft ml us on fe- male doctors. A man who has N?en sick, I and had male doctors, know just how much ; he would feci to have a female doctor come tripping in and throw her fur-lined cloak I over a chair, take off hei hat ami gloves and ; ttirow them on a lounge, and come up to the j bed wiih a pair of marine blue eyes, with a 1 twinkle in the corner, and look "him in the wild, changeable eyes, ami k him to run ! out his tongue.

We have all seen doctors put their hands under the lied clothes and feel of a man's K-ct to se if they were cohl. If a female il.-tor should do that it would give a man cramps in the legs. A male doctor can put his hand on a man's stomach, and liver and lungs, and ak him if he feels any pain there, but if a female doc tor should do the same thing it would make a man sick, ami he would want to get up and kick himself for employ ing a female doc tor. Ob, there is no use talking a'oout it; it would kill a man. Now, supioe a man has heart disease, ami a female doctor should want to listen to th" beating of his heart.

Briefly told, it is this : i 'lhe Princess had been carefully, erhaps ! too carefully, brought up in seclusion tv her parents, ,xiid she was constantly watched over wit 11 great solicit title. Slip very rarely saw anvlhj (,f tl1 W(rli, ut,ilU. ow home, and her visit to Paris with her father at the time of the late Kxpte.it ion was the first ami only occasion on w hich she hint vis ited any capital s:ive Brussels. But while at Paris, by nn accident or through the mo mentary inadveiteiice of her father, she met an American gentleman, she and her fath er were iu l'aris incognito, and were living in a quiet manner at a not over-pretentious hotel. The American, ignorant of the real name and rank of the young lady, but charmed with her leaut", grace, and sim plicity, fell quickly in love with her. Seiz mgnh oppoitunily one afternoon when the Princess was tor a moment separated from her father, who was busily engaged in ex amining sonic machinery and she was stand ing in iin adjoining aieove, the American toiti pier who be was, explained in a very few words that lie possessed 1 n"(l ni' unsullied nanii wealth in autin- nanie : told her that ' he ailinirel ami loved her, and asked her , emission to soeak to her father wfr.m ho i presumed to lie a well-to-do manufacturer or ' merchant, and solicit from him the privilege rf Hfi viiirr tra lint- liic in 1..
