The Approach of Age. of 301/2f a ILISTAXT, Gone are the Mends my boyhood knew, Gone threescore years since childhood's morn A lonely stalk I stand, where grew And proudly waved the Bummer corn Scanning the record am,. years, How blank, how meagre seems the page ; How small the sum of good appears Wrought by these hands from youth to age. Yet, 'rnidst-tbe tons and carcsof life, I've tried to keep a cheerful bean ; To curb my fiercer pastkuls' suite, And as a man to act my part And I repine not at my lot, Glad to live In times like these. When mystic cords of human thought Bind realm to realm across the scent When this dear land, Time's latest birth, Strikes every chain from human hands, And 'midst the nations of the earth The greatest, [feast, noblest stands When progress In material things I.ende upward immaterial mind, And into nearerprospeet Wings The perfect life of all mankind. Kindly, as yet: life's autumn son Gilds the green precincts of my home ; Softly though fast the moments run, And fleeting seasons go and come. Yet nearer. moans the wintry blast, The chilling wind of Age that blows, Through darkening skim with cloud o'ercast, With blinding sleet and drifting snows. Ho I gleaner on life's wintry lea, I hear thy steps 'mid rustling leaves, Aud soon this withered stalk will be Close garnered with the autumn sheaves. And then will Be, beneath whose eye Each act of wrong and right appears, Aught of untarnished grain descry Among the husks of wasted years ? Haply these mustering clouds that lower On the low ,sky in seeming wrath May vanislyand life's sunset hour Shed a calm radiance o'er my path. Then may the clear horizon bring Those glorious summits to the eye, Where, flanked by Scids of endless Spring, The Cities of tije Blessed lie.

MONTROSE, WEDNESDAY, OCT pioctitautouo. REIMERS OF TRAVEL. A New View of To Semite Valley. A lady contributor to the October Gal axy, who has been to Yo Semite, differs considerably from all other travelers in her estimate of it. She thinks it "does not pay " to go there: "What do you see ? Tall rocks, a few tall trees, a high and narrow waterfall, a pretty little river! No more. A lovely natural scene, I grunt you ; but oh! where iu this beautiful land of ours are not lovely natural scenes the rule? Words cannot tell the feelings of cold des pair which comes over me and all our arty as we looked about us. Was it for .--- - - - - this we had so suffered? In truth, and very truth, it does not pay. " We never rallied from that first im pression. "But that stone wall is ❑early a mile " It may be so, but it does not look it; and if it dad, the stars are higher, and. thank God, the stars shine at home! "That waterfall is eleven times higher than Niagara. " Indeed it looks like a fireman's hose playing over the top of Stewart's store. " And then • we learn to oar dismay, that, to see anything more than this in the Valley, we have got to mount the un happy brutes again, and, with Ferguson tugging at our heels at an exorbitant price daily, make trips as dangerous and as per ilous, as rocky and as unpleasant in every way as that with which so much difficulty we have just now accomplished! In Gar house there is neither amusement nor comfort. We are dirty, sick, sore, and miserable, and at night. as we creep heart sick to bed, we can think of nothing but— the Yo Semite Fall, the Bridal Veil, El Capimn, the Cathedral Rocks? No ! Of the weary distance which lies between us and civilization. " But we try to make the hest of it, once there. • Let's say it does pay,' says the jolly Tapley of our party. • Yes, let's sit on the banks of this lovely river.' We do so. A companionable but not welcome watersnake does also, and we leave him ii possession. Try again. There is an Indian camp besides Hutchings'. 1t nuke roman tic from this point. Lett us et nearer. A vile stench arrests us.— These filthy wretches found a dead horse yesterday, and are now eating some of its carcass. There is one of the poor brute's I legs. with mud-begrimmed hoof still I hanging to it. Its entrails and other I parts are strung out in the sun to dry for! future eating; the black blood drips to! the ground as a dog gnaws them greedily, !until drivel off ly,,,anlianis worn,49.whk will not do to approach these people too closely; they are covered with vermin.— Their copper skins are black us soot in spots; this is called dirt, pure and sirriple. I They are clad in the discarded tatter; of I civilization ; and how tattered the dis carded garment of the, Sierra Nevada mountaineer is no one can know who has not seen them. The consequence is that the sight of these people so near a pleas- ; are resort is an offense to decency. Ind ian men bill under the trees playing cards fur silver coin. They glare at os as we I approach. It is easy to see that these people (although Pergusou assured us I they were 'tame') would have no human itarian scruples about waging a war of I extermination against the whites if they had but the power. " While the men play cards and loaf ' tinder the shade of trees, the women sit I in the broiling sun and grind acorns, beating them between heaNy stones into the finest powder. The acorns ground to meal furnish the only food the poor crea- LUreSCEM rely on during the winter; and to gather them and dispute their posses sion with the hogs is the work of the Ind ian women. That is, it is one part of their work, for that all work is done by I Indian women is an old story. :Ylati hood, oblige! "By another day, some of us are well enough to mount again and begin our search for beauty. We find an occasional rattlesnake, unlimited fatigue, and the tombstone of a man who was kicked to death by his horse.' The trips are vet-) wearying, and the scenery is very grand, and very beautiful; but we are in no, condition to enjoy it. We never get in such condition, and the universal verdict with us is that if every one of the water lulls in Yu Semite were magnific.bt, eve ry one of its granite domes were an Olym• pus, if its rivers were the Rhine, and its valley the fairy gardens of Versailles, the sight of it would not repay one for the suffering involved in getting to it- And the plain truth is that nine ont of ten who visit Yo Semite think this, but they will not say what they think. Some peo ple, it is true, never have au opinion of their own, but parrotlike repeat the re frain which has been set them to sing.— You remember in the pages of Most Glo rious Twain the ugly little girl they saw in the Holy Land, and frank Mark's as tonisbtnent at everybody's bawling out in chorus, ' What Madonna-like beauty!' He knew there was an explanation. He afterwards' found the key-note- It was struck in Grimes's (Dead) Book on the Holy Land. So with the Yo Semite. felt awed I—the spirit land— losing your own identity. "0 traveled monkey! Dare 'to tell the truth, why do you not ? Because you are afraid some other traveled monkey will say you `can't appreciate' the scenery which it makes your head ache lo took at, and your bones ache to get at.

Why isiit more easy to wash with soft water than hard? BecatiSe Bra water unites fret:ly with soap, and dissolves it instead of dewmpusing it, as hard water does. Woy do wood ashea make hard water soft ? Ist, Because the carbonic acid of wood aslie.s combines with the sulphate of lime in the hard water and converts it inio chalk. 2d. Wood ashes converts some of the stable salts of water into , and throws them down as a sedi ment, by which the water remains mure pore. Why has rain water such an unpleas ant smell' when it is collected in a rain tub or tank ? Because it is impregnated with decomposed organic matters. Why dues water melt salt ? Because the very minute particles of water insinuate themselves into the pores of the salt by capillary attraction and force the crystals apart from each other.

The Prussians will not then be able to supply food to two millions of pee ple in a country ;which will have been stripped for many days', march around of all provisions, and thousands must per ish before relief ean be afforded.

The fact of the matter was this: unex pectedly and l..pportcmciy, I. bud sold one of my pictures at a fair price, and having paid in full the arrears—of some house hold accounts, there still remained in our hands unexpended. the magnificent sum of twenty-five dollars, the 'best use to make of width we were arguing and • de ciding upon, when the reader is introduc ed into our snug little sitting-room. Ten dollars of the amount we both agreed should go into the savings bank; while the remaining fifteen dollars, a very considera ble amount to an artist with a reputation yet to make, and the best little wife in the world to support- 7 -Ire were heAk to use• as We please. " But, my dear," said I, "you know yOu want a new hat and Warm winter gloves, and good thick-soled shoes; so you get. them now, and I will promise to buy a new-coat. when I sell another picture." Mrs. Flakewhite quietly came over to me, and putting one arm around my neck, held my Ihee directly in front of tsvche o ntl hi fight Ith a firm hold of my ear in her right hand, giving, it a pull at each word to be quite sure I was giving atten tion, and said, in a coaxing tone and manlier, the like of whinli I never did see in an v other woman—never—"Johnl when I say please, you always do what .1 wish—now please buy yourself a new coat.- Of course I promised to do as she ask d I could nut have refused under the circumstances if she had expressed a wish t have me purchase "Ct.!) t ral Park fur a summer residence; and build a . rose and honeysuckle-covered cottage in the Ram ble.- This important matter being brought to a satisfactory ennelnsion, and having been talking about it fur a. long time. we went to 'bed. awoke early nest morning; the ham mer of our little eight-day clock in the corner had jnst strtteklire hundred blows on the twungingipletre citrteW wire in laYttikfigelvairtecr -L on'itt glass Windt)* front, resplendent in the earliest mellow light of a summer sun, was the first tib ict which greeted my sleepy eye s , as con sciousness again broke iu upon my short forgetfulness of trouble in sleep, waking me to realize that it was time to be up and doing—that every available instant of daylight must be coined upon my pal let—every ray of sunlight, so for as lay within my power, be stamped upon my canvas in some recognized form of tender, the sum total to form the basis or a - sight draft" upon the public, that, if duly -honored" when presented, would furnish my loving, uncomplaining, hard toiling, cheerful wife with such articles of necessity as she respired, and add many a little liixury to our simple needs and fancies, during the long-stay of winter, who had already heralded its coming by sending on his rough night winds to moan among the tree-tops, to shake, flut tering down, the rustling brown leaves that seemed mint:ha eten h,tleath,to quit the boughs that tfiem, and to rudely sing and frolic' AMA' our eliim ney-tops. impudently blowing &Wu Miffs of smoke into our. very face, as We sat near our little wood fired the first chilly evenings of Qctobfr, while -."Jack Frdst"—win ter's Clown and jester—was already at his pranks • kiggihg nature's arm as she daintily painted:Mir *Mow panes, I thus causing .1 the long, slanting lines we see zig-zagiug.aoross them a cold, night, rougjng nose us well as face of old maid and young, nipping - lharply -at ex: posed fingers andloes, and heedlessly ing many a groan frontthose.'nnsheltered from his meyoiless• fun,i, [That'll do ;for one sentence!] Thus mot...timing myself awake, I quiet ly turned out. of bed, dressed and slipped out of the room, leaving 3irs-Flakewhife —poor, tired,'littled d'u , 4 77 -NtMdly sfeep7 mg. I went down into the" gifting-room for my shoes, where I had changed. them- the night previous for my slippers, And whilei engaged in putting them ou,sotne articles of female attire on a chair near by at tracted my attention. First, there lay on' top Mrs. Flnkewhite's hat 'of brown straw; it was neatly mended in a dozen places, the pearl-colored ribbon on it, though but little soiled, was cruised and pertbrated with tine holes, and pricked almost to a pattern, in places ,where ;it ; had been sewed on in different shapes,;. there were •no flowers in it, and the strings, from much tying under herren'rid chin, lustre : less and 'ropy.

Wheth- er the sight: of the 'objects of my dist' wife's uncomplaining labor had•merred my hand to unusual efforts, or whether r had chanced upon a peculiarly fortunate moment for work, I cannot say, but.othis much I know, difficulties of drawing that had perplexed and hindered me for a week, vanished under the strokes •of my happy pencil this morning. I touched on little patches of color that astonished and charmed me with their' excellence ; half-tipts of great delicacy and difficulty placed thennelves, as -it were, by some magical power not mybirti, in just the right place, while deep, 'arong shuclou - nowea - boldly- from my brush and increased the effect or all the rest.' Not long after a hasty breakfast on . my part, Mts.Flakewli ite came into my studio, dressed to go out—wearing the same brown hat ,with the pearl-colored r i bbon, last year's style, that had affected me• so unpleasantly,a few hours hefote•rfor habitual good-by kiss, and I threw into my greeting of her morn than usual. heartless/4 from a feeling of self-reproach of having allowed so much goodness! and, loveliness to disfigure itself with. such a' bonnet. " Good-by, John, dear; lam so .glad: you are painting so well this morning,"? said she; "we Shall soon see somebody's, name, well known in this city, and we shall be selling all we can paint, and shall , have to double and quadruple our prices and offers of , orders to any amount, and we shall have. a large, handsome studio,, with a real north lightyand a window :so tall we shall hate to go np on a ladder; to open tr,-ttim we - snaw nave a nice, thmk over-coat-every winter !! we lite, ant we shall go into the country every summer sketching, with our little wife to read to us while we pia, and we shall grow great and glod and—and".--and I could' not listen another instant to., her happy story, and throwing down pallet and brushes, my arms closed around her with a bear like hug, and I stopped her laugh-. ing, rosy mouth with a .detonating kiss that eould.hare been heard a block away, and then, making her look me straight in the eves,. L carefully whispered, "Mary -..I please God, you shall be.a true prophet! and if what you have said ever does come , true, it will be greatly owing to the cheer ful help of my own dear,. true-heated wife-."
