Structures Made with Tools of Stone—Dwelling Rouses IS aich-Tomers and Temples —"Whole Villages in Rains— Tne Valley of Death and Us Tradition. One of the party that accompanied the expedition in Colorado, writes : Just along the sotithwesterh bor der of Colorado the mountains sink almost abruptly into plains, which stretch away to the Gila and Colo rado rivers. Rising in- northern New Mexico, at the end of the Main range of the Rocky Mountains,-which - here stops short, and flowing south and west into Arizona, thence north into Utah, twenty _five or thirty miles west of the Colorado line, .then gradually westward into the largest river in this district. It receives bat one tributary of consequence from the south, brit from the - north many streams draining the southern slopes of the mountains, the principals' of which are the Bio Pietra, Rio Lae Animas, and its branch, the Florida ; Rio La Plata, Rio Mancos, and Mootzuma creek, naming them from east to west. EMI I Oar first and second day's marches carried us across high, rugged, AA canic mountains, wild and picturesque and full of grizzlies, sad 'down linto Animas Park, which is a succession of grassy valleys, diversified by fre vuent groves, and seeming always warm and lovely. A few adventurous rancbmen have located here, and raised splendid .crops. .From here across to the La Plata- is a day's pleasant ride. At the La Plata we found a jolly camp of old Califon:a- - ens preparing to work this gold placers. -Their leader was Captain John Moss, a New Englander by birth, who, possPsa . ed with , a roving spirit, went West when a mere boy and has ever since remained there, if anywhere. But to h s immense ex peri-uce of life and adventhre he has added much knowledge of science and literature, is as familiar with the streets and drawing rooms of New York, London, Peris, Rio Janeiro and San Kancisco, as with the and Navajo teepees or their labyrinth of trails across the distracted jumble of mountains.

Rio Menses a few miles down where we began to come upon mounds of earth which bad accumulated over houses, and about' hich were strewn an abundance of fragments of pottery variously painted in cold ore, often glazed within and - impress-1 ed in various designs without. Then: the perpendicular walls that hemmed in the valley began to enntract, and for the next ten miles the trail led over rocks which were anything but easy to traverse. That night we camped under some forlorn cedars, just beneath a bluff a thousand or so feet high, which • for the tipper half was absolutely vertical. This- was the edge of the tableland, or nerd. which stretched over hundreds 'of square miles hereabouts, and is cleft by these great cracks or`canons thro' which tie drainage of the country finds its way into the great Colorado. In wandering about after sapper we thought we 13aw sometbitt like ..a house away up on this bluff, and two of us, running the risk of being over' taken by darkness, clambered over the talus of loose debris, ;across a great stratum of pare coal. and by dint of much pushing and 'hauling up to the ledge upon which it stood, we came down, abundantly satisfied, and next morning carried op our photographic kit and got some superb negatives. There ; 700 measured feet above the valley, perched on -a little ledge, only just large enough to.hold it,, was a two-story house made of finely•cut'sandstone, each block 14 . by 6 inches, accurately fitted and set in mortar, now harder than the stone itself. The floor was the ledge upon which it rested, and the roof the overhanging rock. There were three rooms upon the ground floor each one 6 by 9 feet, with partition walls of faced stone. Between the stories was originally a wood floor, traces of which still remained, as did also the cedar,sticke sot in the wall over the windows and dons; but this was over the front room only, the height of the, rocky roof , behind not being sufficient to allow au attic there. Each of the stories was six feet in height, and, all the rooms, up stairs and down, were nicely plastered and painted, what- now looks; a dull brick red Color, with a white band along the floor like base board. Thera was a low doorway from a ledge into the lower story, and another above, show ing that the upper chamber was en tered from without. The windows were large, square apertures, with no indiearion of any glazing or shutters. They commanded a view of the whole valley for many miles. Near the house several Conveuteut little a;csts in the rock were built into better shape, as though they had been used as cupboards or caches ; and behind it a semi-circular wall inclosing the eagle of the house and cliff, formed a water reservoir holding two and a half hogsheads. The water was taken out of this from a window of the upper room, and the outer wall was carried up high, so as to protect one so engaged from missiles from below. In front of the house, which was the left side to one facing the bluff, an esplanade had been built to widen the narrow ledge, and proba bly furnish a commodious place for a kitchen. The abutments which sup ported it wore founded upon a steep ly-inclined smooth face of rock i yet so consummate was their masonry that these , abutments still stand, al though it would seem that a pound's weight might slide them off. INNPIERABLE eROUI'S 01' DESTROYED ED IFICES Searching further in this vicinity we~ :found remains of many houses on-the same ledge, and some perfect ones above it quire inacceiquble. The rocks also bore some inscriptions— unintelligible hieroglyphics for the most part—reminding one of those given by Lieut. Whipple in the third volume of the Pacific Railroad Re ports. All these fats were carefully photographed and recorded. Our next day's mt+cb was westerly, leaving the mesa bluffs on our- right gradually behind. The road was an interesting one intelloctually, bat not at all so phi sically--1-dry, hot, dusty, i long and wearisome' _ We passed a number of quite perfect houses,. perched high up- on he rocky bluiTA, and - many other rem ins. One, I re member, Occupied the whole apex of ,the great council boWlder as big as two Dutch barns, that ago bad become detached fiLom its mother mountain and rolled out into the val. ley. Another worth mention was a round tower beautifully laid np, 'which surmounted an immense bowl der that had somehow rolled to the very verge of a lofty cliff overlooking the whole valley. This was a watch tower, and we were told that almost all the high points were occupied by such sentinel boxes. From it a deep ly worn, devious trail led up over the edge of the mesa, by following which we should, no doubt, have wind a whole town. But this was only a recconnoissance, and we could not now stop to follow )ut all indications. TEIE VALLEY OF DEATH Time was short, and we mast gal lop on to where tradition tells us the last great battle was fon4ht, the last stand made against the invaders, in to whose rode grasp they must sur render their homes. Toward night we reached it. The bluffs at our right hand sunk into low banks of solid red sandstone, white at the base ; on the lefyrowned tall rock-buttes, and the barren hills sloped away to the Routh behind them. Ahead the val: ley closed into a canon, and where we stand and off to the right the sur face is a succession of low domes of bare sandstone, worn into gullies and chiseled into pot holes by ancient rivers and modern rains, deyoid of soil. supporting only a few stunted cedars ; rooted in the crannies, bleached and ghastly, and garish un der the September sun. Brilliant cliffs, wierdly carved, by Titans, ranged themselves behind, and right in the foreground, thrust up-through the very center of one of these sand state dornes stood a ragged - christone volcanic dike thin, shattered and comb like. It was a scene of despair and desolation, , enhanced rather than IFOftened and humanized - 3:1 't •• -• • 1..) *) -I • TOWANDA, BRADFORD. COUNTY, PA., DECEMBER 3,1874. by the two great stone towers that stood'near by anti the fragments of heavy walls that once defended every approach to the, habitations about the abrietone. Climbing carefully to the top of the dike, mapping out the plan of the ancient fortifications, lis tening to the fearful concussion of a stone burled from the top, feeling how absolutely safe a garrison would be there so long as they could bold oat: hunger and thirst, it required bat little faith to believe the tradition of the valley of death, whose broad slopes of white sandstone were once crimsoned and recrimsoned with hu man blood. THE TRADITION OF THE VALLEY The story is this Formerly the aboriginss inhabited all this country we bad been over aslar west as the head waters pf the San Juan, as far north as, the Rio Dctloies, west some distance into Utah, and south and southwest thronghcint Arizona and on down into Mexico. They bad lived there from time immemorial— since the earth was a small island, which augmented as its inhabitants multiplied. , They .ctilt iv° ed the val.. ley, fashioned whatever utensils and tools they, needed very neatly and handsomely out of clay and wood and stone, not knowing any of the useful metals, built their homes rind kept their flocks and herds in the fertile liver bottoms, and worshipped the sun. They were an eminently peaceful and prosmous people, liv ing by agriculture . Iher than by the chase. About a thousand years ago, however, they were visited by savage strangers from the North, whom they treated hospitably. Soon these visits became more frequent and an noying. 'Then their troublesome neighbors—ancestors of the . present Thee—began to forage upon them, and devastate their farm; so, to save their lives at least, they built houses high, upon the chfk where they could store food and hide away until the raiders left. But one A3ummer the invaders did not go back to their mountains as the people expected, but brought theirlatnilies with them nd settled down. - So, driven from their homes and lands, Etarving in their little niches on the cliffs, they could - only steal away during the night, and wander across the cheer, less uplands; To one who has,trav eled those steppes, such a flight seems terrible, and the mind h,esi- Lutes to picture the suffeting of the sad fugitives. This is but a picture here and there of one fortnight among these prehistoric ruins. Ten times as , much might be said, but limits forbid. NTELLIGENT, LEARNED, EDUOA TED. ---- The English language is made up of such a varied combination, and is used so figuratively and allegorically, that one can hardly give utterance to an unstuddied phrase which ingeu ity and quick preception cannot con • airue into a diversity of meanings ; and so many words have nearly the same meanings that they are often misued and misapplied ; more proba bly, from a careless custom than froin ignorance., - ,The words intelligent, • educated, and learned, are often used as though they bad the same meaning, although they convey entirely distinct ideas. Intelligence is an Mate faculty of the human 'soul, that enables one s to think and to receive ideas with a de gree of comprehension and under• standing. Education is the cultivation and refinement of the powers of under standing, and includes both Moral and intelectutil training. This term is usually applied to the earls devel opments of the . mind, when it is made capable of receiving learning. There are two kinds of education ; one we have given us at school,. which only poepares us for the more substantial onis we get ourselves from the world. Human nature can never be learned from books ; it is a knowl edge 'others may acquire, but never iwpart ;I it constitutes an important part of pur. education, and can only be gained by mineling with our fel low men. , There is a great difference in people, and this difference: is greatly the result of our education. Learning. is knowledge gained by research and study. It is erudition which a well educated man may not posers. Knowledge is information gained by study, experience and ob servation. Wisdom is an endow ment, and is higher than knowledge, with judgment and discretion: Intelligence, education, and learn ing are,three great stet* to the high est development of the human mind, neither of which can be attained Without the aid of the other. God Places us on the first step ; we make sure of Out footing and reach the Others by our own efforts. The second - requisite to this end is application. He who would acquire mental as well as huinan knowledge, Must never admit defeat, or pause over a difficulty, but work steadily op to the end, that he may conquor ev ery obstacle which comes in his way. " In the lexicon of youth," says Ball wer, " there shculd be no such word as tail." 111:113IN AND ItErtscTiox.—Undoubt - - edly external circumstances and in fluences have much to do with moods of mind. The Spring is full of hope; the intense heat of Summer leaves little room for anything else but the desire to keep comfortable, while an. tuain is especially the season for re flection. Our thoughts then become grave and solemn. We are drawing apace, and perceptibly, toward , the close of another year, and we invol untarily ask ourselVes what life con sisis,of, for what purpose we live, and tp what the journey so rapidly being tritiversed, is to lead ? Yes, we ask, pot. alone what life is, but what death is, and about a future life, and where and when that future life is to be. Autumn speaks to the soul in a voice to which it cannot but listen. It seems as if all the dead whom we bare known are silently beckoning to us now. but it is in vain that Ave sigh or strive for any intelligible communion with them. We can.only submit to the inevitable melancholy mood, and wait patiently fpr the day of 'greater knowledge. ' • (For the BirponTELy, "GOOD BYE.' What - a; traip of thoughts these sad, sweet words bring to each heart —thoUghts that take the mind back through each varied scene of life, as silPntly - and softly! as the _evening shadows close about, First, they revert to our vanished childhood,. bringing up the forms of those we loved in the youthful school days. Wetremerilber when we part ed at the elese of those blissful days, with tearftil'eyes,—when all-the past came to us, and the. grasp of the hand, tremor of the lips, and the deep sigh, spoke-the words that well ed, bp from the heart. , We 'knew that we would. never all meet again under the same cireinnstances,--,-that one by one they would drift from us,. sill one was here, another there, some, married, some gone . forever. All are changed from the gay, care less looyit' and 'girls to thoughtful men and, women. Some of us have grown-old!while yet young, for sore disappointments come to us though we be young, and we realize how our youthful days are liassing,away. The songS of our childbobd are silent, but their echos) still come drifting from the lonely shore of the past, making us feel very sad at times. We lave had teachers; too, kind; patients, faithful ones, who have la bored unceasingly to aid us in sur mounting the difficulties that attend the scholar's way. We remember when these said "good bye" to us,--•-• some,to go to 'new fields of labor,— others passed to the Beautiful Be yond, tolearn of. the Great Teacher the mysteries of the unknown world. Our thoughts glide very swiftly dovin the Snrging tide of Time, and we next find ourselves grown to wo manhood. And with our advent to that state :we had formed now at tachments; dearer than those of our youth. We remember how happy we were, how peacefully our life passed along, undisturbed by any ruthless hands until circumstances made a separation Worn the loved one necessary. Then with what an guiah did we say "good-bye." It seemed as if the light and life of our exi4ence went from us, hut we steeled the heart to be patient, and let the loved one go so sorrow fully, that it seemed as though we never, could be happy again. Yet with the sorrow came bright anticipations .of the future—but ah how far were they from beingTealii ed Estrangements came during ab seuce, we gradually drifted apart, and now when we moat them, it is as strangers meet, casually and cold ly. We little thought when we let them go, that it was a final parting .with love that made our heart very happy,— au adieu to many a. loved, long-cherished hope. And how . lona after we realized that it was: , such, did we feel -an aching and loU g ing. What it was we could hardly tell; we !knew it was a sorrow, an nudefitted something, like we all have felt when we' have gazed at the bright hues of sunset, t ae the day was departing with muffled footsteps, and seen them fade away into the calm gray twi light. Even now, they, come to ne like tender, sad music falling upon a weary. heart. Memory• is 'prone, in our weary hours, to bring up these gems'of lost happiness, over which the tears fall unrestraitmd„unnoile ell, till stein duty bids 'us be calm; then we thrust them back;_to_ iheir biding pities+, saying .again, ‘' Geod bye, ralicslof a once happy past." Bat, oh pod 1 the saddest "good bye" came; when around our dearly loved ones' the shadow cf the tomb fell; when,! with deep, delpairing an-. gaish, we saw the stars of our hopes, ambitions,) prayers, suddenly fade from our sky, leaving us in darkness and night.), Only God, and the ones who have been so-stricken, can tell the fearfall anguish that wrung the heart. It may have been that bright star, —our mother,—thatleft us; she who- watched over us in infancy, guarded us in'childhood, guided and counsel ed us as we' grew to womanhood; whose love was always steady and strong, in spite of our way aiardneis. Or a father, who by his counsel and example had kept oar feet' from stumbling into dark and sinful ways; or mayhap a sister- or brother, t+ wheat our i wbole soul went out in af fection; and whose love was to, ns a source of great happiness. Perhaps it was .a friend, true and 'trusted, that we had known from youth, and whose kindly words. of sympathy were never solicited in vain. We see again the dying couch, beside which' we etood, when it seemed as if the death-angel waited a moment for us to once again catch the last fond look of the dim, closing eye. feel the last clasp of the icy fingers, hear the last low word from the pale lips, ere he bore the loved spirit away. We saw the 1114 beat of the weary heart, saw them bear the cold form away; and the wail from the stricken heart was. "Shall we meet again''?" _ Sweet hope arose in her calm glo ry, brought the heavenly answer, bade; us seek strength from above to bear the anguish,—to mourn not for the departed, for they Were only gone before, only waiting at the im mortal gates to welcOme us. Still we sorrowed, though they were gone from the struggles of life, to the beautiful Land .of the Leal, that pure realca ; of fadeless glory; for we knew they ! could never, never come back to us, save in fancy. But God : gives i ns these sorrows that eact succeeding joy may be brighter. He means that they shall wring our hearts, shall make us weep at times, but if wp continually -muse over the past,;woshall be old before our time; shall bring wrinkles to our youthful brews, by always looking on the dark side. I It is well for us to mown over them! sometimes, that we tray be the more. earnest - in • trying to lighten the burdens of those we meet in our daily walk of life, by being af fectionate end kind. We have all a mission to fulfill, and if it is left -un done, our life is incomplete. "Lit ; us do oar wort well, , rot the utoieen and been.

Every Year this sacredest of all occasions is; turned more into a mere opportunity of dis play, and for replying to some fan (Ilea social obligation. Instead of the time when a. few of the closest friends gather to witness the solemn eat compact human beings can frame, it is chosen as the moment for bring ; log together the larger part of a fam ily's social circle, to show the bride in her bridal garinents, to prove how many flowers and refteshnients the fatnily_can ,afford; and, w:th shame be it said,to exhibit to criticism and light- comment the' previons: tokens that should have come with: tender regard to the maid on the eve of her new life. A wedding must not be uncheerfut but it must certainly be solemn to all who realfze whatit is. On the one side it is renouncing old ties,promising_ to begin with faith an hope and love, a new-and wholly nntried existence. On the Other, if is the acceptance of a sacred trust, the covenant 'to order life anew in 'finch ways as shall make ,the, happi ness of two instead of one. Can• such an occasion be fitting for revelry ? Is it not wiser and more delicate to bid only the nearest friends to a Marriage ceremony; and leave the feasting ; and frolic for a snitlequent time? - We are sure there are few girls, if they reflect on , the seriousness of the step they are about to take %fill not choose .to make theiyrcrtw 'merely within the lovin g limit# of their home circle. All our best instincts' point to the absolute. simplicity mid priva cy of wedding services; only; .a per version of delicacy could contem plate the asking, of crowds half sympathetic or wholly curionspec s tple to attend the most solemn -con tiacts. Let there be as much-party making, rejoicing and pleasurOaking afterward as, hearts desire; but let the, solemn vtyafs be mad:4in the pres ence of only those nearest and dear est.

Good teeth are essential to good looks, especially "if p much on the snrface that they are continually talking or langhhig. And brush them with a soft - brush, espe cially at night. Go to bed with the teeth clean. Of course, to We white teeth it is needful to let tobacco alone. • Everywoman knows that. And any powder Or wash for the teeth shoald be very _simple.' Acids may whiten the teeth, hut- they take off klie enamel, or injure Look well to the - ventilation of your rooms, especially your sleeping rooms.. No one can 'lave, a clear skin who breathes bad air. But, more than. all, in,order to look well, wake up the mind and the soul. When the mind is awake, the dull, sleepy look passes away from the eyes. Keep thinking pleasant, noble• thoughts, and read not trashy novels, but books that have something in, them. Talk With people who know something;- bear lectures and 'Herlihy them. This is one good _ofpreaching. A man thinks, and works, and tells us the result. But if 'we listen, -and heed, and understand, the mind- and soul are waked up. If the spiritual ne- Anre is aroused, so much the better. We have seen a plain face realty-glo riSed wi h the love of God and mg% which shone through it.' Lei; us grow handsome. • I LAUGHING. CHILDREN. —GiVe! me the boy or girl who smiles as soon as the first rays of the morning sun glanle in through the ,window—gay,l happy, nd. kind.

Such a- girl; other. things being favorable,- will be good material to aid in glad dening some comfortable home, - or to refine, civilize, tame and hUmanize a rode brother, making bird gentle, affectionate and lovable: It is , a feast to even look at such a joy-idspiring girl, and to see thymiles flowing, so fo speak, from the parted lips, dis playing a set of Clean, well ibrnshed teeth, looking almost the personifica.- tion of beauty and goodness,isingin,g, and as merry as the birds, the wide awake birds,. that commenced their morning concert long before!the lazy boys dreamed that the sun was ap proaching, and about to pour a whole flood of light and warmth upon the „earth.

Daring, i t the early . and later periods of life this "even teller!' is essential to our w(111 being ; and though we may feel like kicking the traces when at the zenth of power and activity, and sometimes fly off at tangents, or get rid of our superfluous energies in Odd and aneciaitri ways, yet. we usually come back, or at least try to come back, to our 'moorings, and gladly accept the tread-mill path of daily duty, which, if't brings no-cc static pleasure, leaves no'remoree. .
