SECRET.—There once
liv, old brown cottage a solitary
a • 1:la n. She was known everywhere from
village to village as "Ilapty Nancy."
She had no money, no family, no relatives,
and was half blind, quite lame and very
crooked.' There was no comelinesit in her
and yet there, in the homely, deformed
body, the great God, who! loves to bring
strength out of weakness, had set his royal
seal.
"Well, Nancy, singing again?" would
the chance visitor Say, as he stopped at
her door.
yes I am forever at it.'
`•I wish you would tell me your secret
Nancy-. You aro alone, you work hard,
you have nothing very plea-Ant surround
ing you; what is the reaon you're so hap-
PY7'
"Perhaps it's because I havu't anybody
but God," replied the old creature look
ing upward. "You bee, rich folks like
yon depend upon their families and thew
houses, they've got to be thinking about
their business, of their wives and children;
and then they're always , mighty afraid of
troubles a head. I ain't got anything to
trouble myself about, you see 'cause I
leave all to the Lord. I think, wl, if he
can keep this great world In such good
order, the sun rolling• day after day, and
the stars shining night after night, and
make my garden things come up season
after season, lie can take care of :such
a poor thing as I. sun, and so you see I
leave it all to the Lord, and the Lord takes
care of me."
"Well, but Nancy suppose a frost comes
after your fruit trees ar.a all in blossom,
and your plants out; suppose"—
• "But 1 do'n't suppose. I never can sup
pose. I don't want to suppose, except
that the Lord will do every thing right.--
That's what makes you people unhappy;
you're all the time supposing. Now, why
can't you wait till the suppose conies and.
then tnAke the best of it?"
"AfitNancy, it is pretty certain you'll
get to Heaven, while a great many of tie,
with all our worldly wisdom, will hovel°
stay out."
"There you are at it again," said Nan
cy, shaking her bead, "always looking
out for some black cloud. Why, if I were
you, I'd keep the devil at arms length,. in
stead of taking him into my heart. He'll
do you a desperate sight of ralschist"
She was right. We do take thirds:anon

BY WGREGOR STEELE
There were ten of us, and a jolly com
pany we were. We all passed the greater
part of-thp Summer hunting buffalo and
elk on the Plains west .of Fort Laramie,
and had just returned to Nebraska City to
dispose; of oar skins and Indian punka
and arrange our departure for home,.
Having been for over a year beyond the
frontiers of civilization, we were eager to
get back to our homes. Business matters,
however, delayed the company, so I
thought 1 would take a run up to Council
Bluffs on a little matter, of which more
anon, and return soon enough to go East
with our party. The distance is about
sixty miles, and the road leads through
one of the most beautiful and picturesque
countries of the West.
The next morning by four o'clock I was
in my saddle scampering up the bluffs.—
The air was delicious. A cool breeze from
the river greeted me, and upon its zephyr
wings bore up from the valleys the rich
fragrance of the beautiful prairie flowers.
A few snow-white clouds were sleeping
just above the horizon, and glimmering
with a silvery light. The sun could not
yet be seen, but was lighting up the mat
ern sky with unusual brilliancy. It was
October, and beautiful birds were singing
sweet songs—not like the mirthful music
of Spring—but songs full of sadness and
burdened with the dreamy melody of Na
ture calmly waiting the dying and falling
of her crimson leaves. The weather was
yet warm and as the day adlranced it be
came unusually so. Several week& had
passed without rain, and the vast prairies
wer parched and cracking in the burning . '
sun.
It was late in the afternoon when reaanit
to Mite!, Indian village, quietly notalin
under the bluffs, close by the fiver and
about twenty miles from my destination
Here I stopped to refresh myself and my
posy, preparatory to my ride across the
bottom, a vast level plain thickly over
grown with prairie grass and rich with the
deposits of the Missouri since the world
began. The distance across is about fif
teen miles, but the level of the interven
lag *sin makes it appear not more than
four or five.
Alter a delay of about an hoar, I WAR
again en route, with the hope of reaching
the opposite bluffs before nightfall.
The Indian trail which •: - struckled up
the river some ten miles, then abruptly
turned toward the bluffs.
As I neared the point of crossing, a
beautiful chain of bluffs, or sand hills,
keened up before me—rising like waves
upon the ocean's bosom, and extending
f ar lip the river. s These hillocks were
-formed by the wind constantly blowing
the sand trim the bottrm lands, and piling
it up -lager and higher, until many of
them reach an altitude of several hundred
feet,.— But little vegetation grows upon
any of them--some have none at all—and.
on dry days the sand can be seen drifting
up to their summits and trickling down
upon the opposite side.
I It is almost impossible to obtain a foot
-1 lug upon any of them unless upon one that
has been formed for several years; there-
Isre . l bad to be satisfied with clambering
np on -one of long growth, but onlyot
moderate height. This one, bowener, af
forded me an extended view of the beau
tiful landscipe snmuntling them. ' My at
ticidon was here attracted to the .dark
clouds hovering over the river, intimating

the wind in the parched grass, and the
sighing of the trembling leaves upon the
stately oaks and black Walnuts that skirt
trl the river, as they bowed on the increas

winds: still I rode on unconscious that, in
stead of having taken the trail to my
right, I had followed the path in a north
easterly direction, which would bring me
into the interior of the prairie, but some
ten miles south of the point from which I
wished to cross, and nearer that distance
to the fast coming fire. I now began to
be thoroughly alarmed at my situation.
being wholly unaware of my whereabouts,
and unable from the darkness around me.
to discover the bluffs in the distance or
the tiler at my back.
I quickly resolved to make a desperate
effort my life, and the only course I saw
open to me, was to follow the trail which
had led me an far into the depths of the
prairie.
It would have been madness to strike
out into the tall grass on either side of
me, or to think of retracing my steps; but
I lost no tine in considering my chances
of escape, and spurred my pony forward
to a slight elevation, which now, with the
glaring light of the fire, gave me a view
of the country for miles.
The picture was now appalling. The
whole heavens were in a glow of light and
the wart prairie was covered with streams
of fire—dancing upon the tall grass and
curling lividly up to the heavens. To the
south, as far as I could see, everything
seemed to be convulsed in the raging ele
ment: to the east and west there was one
grand chain of fire, sholiiting and flashing
and mounting higher, to be lost in the
massive clouds of smoke which blackened
the entire dome of heaven. I now came
to a stand still, for all hope of saving my
self and pony now fled, and I quietly
watched the display with an earnestness
not to be iwagined. I sat upon my horse
and saw the flames pass by me on the
east (the road which I bad to gain, I de
stroyed everythirg in its track.
The moon bad just come forth from the
half-broken clouds, looking paler than
ever before.
The fire was now moving onward direct
ly in front of me, and perhaps a hundred
yards in front of the moving column. All
hope of extricating myself and pony now
seemed in vain, for the flames were fast
closing me in a circle of fire.
The heated air and dense smoke and
burning cinders rendered the atmosphere
almost suffocating. In front and rear and
all round me was a wall of fire.
There was not much time to be lost;
and ptilling my Indian blanket carefully
about me, and' taking care that I was
firmly seated in my saddle, I hurried
toward the hissing flames. I looked to
the front, on either side and all around
me. but I could sce no niche through
which I could dart. My attention was
drawn to my right for a moment and I
saw a slight break in the crimson sheets,
and instantly I sparred my pony into the
flaming sea.. A single stumble must have
destroyed us both. For an instant we
were baffled, and my pony shuddered and
neighed, and I thought it a hard fate to
be burned to death alone in a wild land!
But I plunged my spurs deeper into his
sides, and he made a last desperate plunge
and fell upon his knees, but raised himself
and leaped and fell upon the ground the
fire had passed over.
My blanket was crisped upon my back,
and my legs and hands were severely
burned. I soon relieved myself of my
burning clothing, and turned to look after
my poor pony, who now lay upon the
black and charred stubble tumble to rise.
The brave animal had inhaled fire, and
he died in about a half an hour. I stuck
the ramrod of my rifle at his head to mark
his last resting place.
I then made my way the best I could to
the bluffs, being guided by the light of the
distant fire—and at the first house I came
to I was fortimate enough to get a horse
to carry me to my destination.
Large numbers of deer and rabbit were
the next day, dead upon the black stubble.
A large amount of property was con_
mimed that night and many of the settlers
on the bottom lands lost everything they
had; barely escaping with their lives.
Iv is a well known fact among scientific
"men that England has been approaching
America for hundreds of years back.
And now, just think of it, they have cal
eulated that in Anne Domini 11,871 the
! inhabitants of Labrador may stand on
,their eastern coast of a morning and see
Brittannia making her elaborate toilette,
or drawing her morning cup of tea.
Uncle Sam can then build a pontoon
bridge across and send over a few blue
coats on a recogvoissance. We had al
ways been aware that Britain was ap
proaching America in her politicial institu
tion, her atriying after a broader freedom,
and her yearning for a general education,
but had never thought of having her com
pany, bodily so soon. H'ere's to those
who five to see the day!
ANSCVOTE or A. H. STErnans.—A story
is told of Alexander H. Stephens to this
effect
In the political canvass oi18:18 he was
accompanied by a shaggy dog, named Rio,
that became as well known as himself. In
Columbia °minty he met a General 11. R.
Wright in debate, and worsted him. To
postpone the defeat Wright cried out:
"I demand a list of your appointments,
SW I'll get my documents, and meet you
at every place, Sir? Yes, sir, I'll dog you
all over this district I"
Stephens painted to the Sleeping Rio by
his aide, and said:
"Then I'll send Rio home. One dog at
a time is enough!"
Wright sat down.—EDITOR'S DRAWER,
in Harper'. Xagcfsine for Febuary
As incident similar to one which him
frequently been introducedin fiction and on
the stage with excellent effect occurred in
real life the other day. A. lawyer in Provi
dence, R. 1., was on behalf of rightful
heirs of an estate, contesting a will which
he believed to have, been forged. His
clients Were confident of the justice of
their claims; but the instrument was ap
parently.all correct, and the prospect of
setting it aside looked dubious. The
pretended will was written under the date
!of 1855, and bore the stamp, "A. P. Co.—,
Superfine." No paper but that of the Aga
wam. company of . Mittbseague bears this
mark. The lawyer conceived the idea of
writing ,to the officials of the Agawam
Company Air infointationin regard to the
paper, and had the aatisfaction of teem
bag that their drat POT' with that stamp
was made and sold inH3SQ, which, premed

AN ECCENTRIC AIIOLETIONIAT
Col. Forney. since his retirement from
the conduct of The Kaiiy Chronicle, in
Washington, has begun a series of ex
ceedingly interesting papers, entitled
"Anecdotes of Public Men," in She Sun
day Chronicle, of which he stills retains
the control. 7.`.;0 Mall iu till' country is
better prepared, by long and intimate in
tercourse with public wen of all .parties
for the last and most' interesting quarter
of a century, to furnish material for the
future historian. In his last week's paper
he gives this account of a meeting between
an old Abolitionist of those days (and a
leading Protectionist of these, ) Dr. Wil
liam Elder of Philadelphia, and Messrs.
Slidell, fireckinridge, and Douglas, with
some fifteen other leading Democrats, at
his table, in Washington, in iltis6:
‘Vhen the restraint of the first room or
two teas thawed LQ, a generous draft of
eljionpagno, those who sat at my board
wVre quickly attracted by the agreeable
li1 , 111110!'s alit dazzling wit of my abolition
friend. ;;r::dually monopolized their
whole attcation by hit comments on' hooks
and men, and his full knowledge of the
resources of their own section. At. last
one or them said: "Pray, Dr. Elder, how
is it that one of your tastes and learning
should be so opposed to Southern rights
and institutions?'' opened the ball,
and, nothing loth, he answered with a
story I can never forget—a story which I
believe DU never been forgotten by :ALT
one who heard it:
"When I lived In Pittsburgh, gentle
men,•" said the Doctor, •where I had the
honor to vote for James G. Birney for
President in 1844, being one of a very,
very small party, which will boon control
Pennsylvania by 'an Andrew Jackson
majority, we had a strange character
among us who occassioually made speeches
against. Slavery, and whose peculiarities
were that when lie became excited he
gave way to uncontrollable tears and
oaths. I always went to bear him, for
there was an odd fascination about him.
tine night he was advertised to speak
against the fugitive slave law—a measure
which roused him almost to madness—and
I was among the audience. He closed
his harangue with a passage something
like this: 'Let us apply this law to our
selves, brethren and sisters. I live about
one mile out of town, and rarely get back I
to my quiet home till evening; and the
first to welcome me at the garden-gate are
my little girl Mary and my bright-eyed son
Willie—the joy of my heart; the stars of
my life,
"Suppose, when I get home to-morrow,
I meet my wife, instead of my children
at the dour, and on asking for my dar
lings, she tells me that a man called John
C. Calhoun of South Carolina and anoth
er man called Hem" Clay of Kentucky
had come, in my absence, and carried
them down South into Slavery ? How
would you feel in such a case? How do
you think I would feel ? What would I
do? you ask. Well, I will tell you. I
would follow the aforesaid John C. Cal
houn and Henry Clay; follow them to the
South; follow them to the gates of death
and hell; yes, into hell, and there cram
the red-hot coals down their damned in
fernal throats!" "And nits outburst,"
added Dr. Elder, "was punctuated with
alternate sobs and swearing. I have given
you one of the many causes, gentlemen,
that have confirmed me in my abolition
ism."
it is impossible to convey an Mean" the
manner in which Dr. Elder told this inci
dent, or the effect produced upon the
Southern men around him. They listened
with profound and breathless interest, and
more than one with a pale cheek and
moistened eye; and though they did not
say they ced with the eloquent Doctor,
f saw that they respected him fur the can
dor and warmth with which he had replied
to their equally candid question.
THE mint at Carson, Nevada, is a valu
able institution. It is located off of all
the direct lines of travel, and it is not
probable that any gold will ever go there
for coinage, while deposits of silver bul
lion for coinage have never been made to
any extent, and are not likely to be made
hereafter. The silver produced in Nevada
is mostly sent abroad in bars, whiclrbring
better prices than coin for that purpose,

Juartat TrtoursoN, who was the itri

New York, on the Supreme Bench, was
prone to excessive libations. One morn

at Court, and before taking his seat, en
tered into lively conversation with some
of the guests of the previous evening.—
One of these, fearing that the good Judge
might have "suffered from the accident
of hospitality," said to him. "Well,
Judge, I hope you are feeling well to-day."
"Yes, sir. thank you; quite well, sir.—
I have just taken a gin cocktail, sir, and

LEPROSY NORTR AMERICA. A
French emigrant family from St. '.Halo, in
Normandy, who were afflicted with this
disease, came to Tracadie, a district in the
county of Gloucester, bordering the Bay
of Chaleurs, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence,
This was about 1815. The descendants of
this family have increased in number;
and, being, unfortunately, in the poorest
circumstances, leprosy has showed itself
amongst them to a very considerable ex
tent.- • The disease is only known in New
Brunswick, in three parishes in the county
of Northumberland. The districts where
the leprosy exists—Tracadie, Pokenoche,
and Niquac—comprehend a circle of 25
miles iddiameter. The population was
about 3,078 in 1860. By 1844 leprosy in
the descendants of the above-mentioned
family had so increased as to induce the
government to interfere, by calling within
its care and jurisdiction the unfortunate
victims. A hospital was first established
in July, 1844, at Sheldtake Island, in the ,
3liramichi River. Commissioners were I ,
appointed to separate the lepers front the
rest of the community, and confine them
within the limits of the establishment.
This measure excited the dread and horror
of the poor victims; and several fled to the
forest and secreted themselves, to avoid
what was considered imprisonment for
life. Prior to the establishment of the
lazaretto leprous persons communicated
freely with the rest of the community.
An entirely different policy is now pursued
by Dr. A. C. Smith,. who wok charge of
the Tracadie Leper 'Hospital iu 1865.•
when the number of patients were 21-15
males and six females; the annual number
of deaths, I to 11. An ambrotype Dr. Smith
kindly sent me shows a group of blander-.
tuuate patients, the sight of which is quite
enough to excite the sympathy of us all.
Dr. Smith adds: The principal object of
our lazaretto is to furnish a home for the
poor unfortunates. Even if their relatives
could support them they would not do so.
Our lepers have been offered their liberty;
but would prefer to remain where they are
than to go out into the world to starve.
Our lazaretto is now an asylum. The
lepers are not now imprisoned, as they
used to be. The leprosy, as it exists here,
is confined to the very poorest French.
The only trace of le:prosy in the United
States is among the Notwegians, who
suffer from it extremely in their own
country. 'But it soon dies out among, the
immigrants, the Western climate being
favorable to the cure of the disesse.—Dr.
Afriee, in Good ileatth.
Bsltsroa Abbott; of North Carolina,
will, it is said, contest the right of exe

Mr. Abbott holds that Vance cannot be

and that the votes cast for him by the
Legislature of North Carolina are null and
void. The Washington :Chronicler says
that "aa Mr. Abbott reoeived the next
