common characteristics ot barrenness,
inhospitality and misery.

lu the (thole world there can be no
more dreary view than that from the
northern slope of the Sierra Blanco,
As far as the eye. can reach Stretches
the tffcat tlit phi inland, all dusted over
with patches of alkali, and intersected
by clumps of the dwartish chaparral
bushes. On the extreme verge of the
horizon, lies a long chain of piountain
peaks, with their ruced summiM
flecked with snow, in this rreat
btreteh, of country there is no sijrn of
life, nor of anything appertaining to
life. There is no bird in the steel-blue
heaven, no movement upon the dull,
(fray earth above all. there is abso
lute silence. Listen as one may. there
is no shadow of a sound in all that
mighty wilderness; nothing but silence
complete and heart-subduing silence.
It lias been said there is nothing ap
pertaining to life upon the broad
plain. That is hardly tru. I.ookiny
down from the Sierra Blanco, one sees
a pathway trjed out across the desert,
which winds away and is lost in the
extreme distance. It is rutted with
wheeis and trodden down by the feet
of mauy adventurers. Here and there
are scattered white objects which
glisten in the sun, and stand out
against the dull deposit of alkali. Ap
proach and --xamine them! They are
bones; some larjre and coarse, others
i-maller and more delicate. The far
mer have belonged to oxeu, and the.
latter to men. For tifteen hundred
miles one may trace this ghastly cira
van route by these scattered remains
sjf those who had fallen by the way
bide. Looking down on this very scene,
therd stood upon the 4th of May, 1S47,
a solitary traveler. Ills appearance
was such that he might have been the
very genius or dem.jn of the region.
An observer would Lave found it diffi
cult to soy whether he was nearer to
forty or to sixty. His face wal lean
and haggard, ar..l the brown, parchment-like
skin was drawn tightly over
the projecting bones; his long, brown
hair and beard were all flecked and
dashed with white; hit eyes were
sunken in Ms head, and burned with
an unnatural lu-'.-r, while the hand
which (frasped his rifle was hardly
more fleshy than that of a skeleton.
As lie stood, he leaned upon his weapon
for supoort, and yet his tall figure and
the mastive franv.-work of his bonr
nijf?ested a wiry and vigorous eonsti
ution. flu gaunt face, however, and
).U ciothes, which hung so bsggilyOVSf
his shriveled limbs, proclaimed what
it was that gave him that senile and
tlecrepit appearance. 'Hie man wa.
dying dying from hunger ami from
thirst.
lie had toiled painfully down the
ravine and on to this little elevation,
in the vain hope of seeing some signs
f water. Now the great .alt plain
fctretched before his eyes, and the dis
tant belt of savage mountains, without
u sitm anywhere pj plant or tree, which
might indicate the presence of rnoi.t-
urc In all that broad landscape
there was no gleam of hope. North
and east and west he looked with wild
ticstioning eyes, and thin be realized
".hat ids wanderings had com., to an
end, and that there, on that barren
crag, he was about to die. ''Why not
here, as well a-, in a feather bed. t it enty
years hence," he muttered, as he eated
himself in the shelter of a bowlder.
Hofore sitting down, he hud do
posited upon the ground his useless
rifle, and also a large bundle tied up
in a gray sfiiiwl, which hi' hud carried
alnng over his right shoulder. It ap
peared to be somewhat too heavy for
his strength, for, iu lowering it, it
came down on the ground with some
little Violence. Instantly there broke
from the gray parcel a little moaning
cry, and from it there protruded u
Small, seared face, with very bright
brown eyes, und two little apeckled
dimpled lists.
'You've hurt me!" said a childish
Voice, reproachfully.
"Huve 1 though'.'" the man answered,
penitently; "l didn't go for to do it."
As he spoke he unwrapped the gray
shawl mid extricated a pretty little girl
if about Ave years of in whose
dainty shoes und smart pink frock,
with its little linen apron, ull bespoke
a mother's care. The child was pule
and wan, but her healthy arms and
legs showed that she had sulfitred less
than her companion.
"How ii it now?" he answered, anx
iously, for she was still rubbiug the
towsy golden curls which covered the
back of her head.
"Kiss it and make it well," she said,
jvith perfect gravity, shoving the in
jured part up to him. "That's what
mother used to do. Where's mother'.'"
"Mother's gone. 1 guess you'll see
her before lone "
"Gone, eW" said the little girl.
I'Fnnny, she didn't say goodby; she
'most ulwaysdid if the was just goin"
over to auntie's for tea, and now she's
been away for three days. Say, it's
awful dry, ain't it'.' Ain't there no
water nor nothing to eat'.'"
"No, there ain't nothing, dearie,
You'll just need to be patient aw hile,
and then you'll be all right Put your
head ttp Sgin mo like that, und then
you'll feel better. It ain't easy to talk
when your lips is like leather, but 1
e;ue--s, i d best lot you know how the
cards lie. What's that you've got?"
"Pretty things! flue tningsl" cried
the little girl enthusiastically, holding
up two gUttcrlng fragments, of mica.
"When we goes back to home I'll give
them to Brother Bob."
"You'll see prettier things than them
soon," said the man, conlldently. "You
jut wait a bit. 1 was going to tell
you, though- -you remember wheu we
left the river'.' "
"Oh. yes."
"Well, we reckoned we'd strike un
other river soon, d'ye see'.' Hut there
was lomethtn' wrong; compasses, or
map, or lOSatthln', aud it didu't turn
up. Water rati out. Just except a lit

"Xo. nor drink. And Mr. Uender. he
was the tirst to go, and then Indian
I'ete, and theu Mrs. Metiregor, and
then Johnny Hones, and theu, dearie,
your mother."
"Theu mother's a deader, too," cried
the little girl, dropping her face in her
pinafore and sobbing bitterly.
"Yes, they all went except you and
me. then I thought thtrewas some
chance of water in this uirettiou, so I
heaved you over my shoulder and we
tramped it together. It don't seem
as though we've improved matters.
There's un almighty small chance for
us now!"
"Do yon mean that we are going to
die, too'.'" asked the child, checking
her sobs, and raising her tear-stained
face.
"I guess that's about the size of it."
' Why did&'t you say so before?" she
said, laughing gleefully. "You gave
me such a fright. Why, of course, now
as long as we die we'll be with mother
again."
"Yes, you will, dearie."
"And you. ton. I'll tell her how aw
ful good you've been. I'll bet she
meets us at the door of Heaven with a
big pitcher of water, and a lot of buck
wheat cakes, hot, and toasted on both
sides, like bob and me was fond of.
How long will it be first."
"I don't know not very long." The
man's eyes were fixed upon the north
ern horizon. In the blue vault of the
heaven there appeared three little
specks which Increased in size every
moment, so rapidly did they approach,
i i. e. - peedily resolved themselves into
three large brown birds, which circled
over the heads of the two wanderers,
aud then settled upon some rocks
which overlooked them. They were
buzzards, the vultures of the west,
I coming is the forerunner of
death.
"Cocks and hens!" cried the little
girl, gleefully, pointing ut their ill
omened forms, and clapping her haudi
to mak them rise. "Say, did Ucxl
make this country''''
"In course He did," said her com
panion, ratlcr startled by this unex
pected question.
"He made the country down in Illi
nois, and He made the; Missouri," the
little girl continued. "I guess some
body else made the country in these
parts. It's not nearly so well done.
Thsy forgot the water ami the trees."
' What would ye think of otfering up
prayer? ' the man asked, diffidently,
"It ain't night yet," she answered.
"It don't mutter. It uin't quite reg
ular, but Ho WOBt mind that, you bet.
You my over them ones that you used
to auy every night in the wagon when
we was on the plains."
"Why don't you suy some yourself?"
the child asked, with wondering eyes.
"I li in "c i iber them," he answered.
" hain't laid DOM since 1 was half
the height o' that gun. I gut.-ss it's
never too late. You suy them out, and
I'll stand by and come iu on the
choruses."
"Then you'll need -to kneel down,
and me, too," she said, laying the
shawl out for that purpose. "You've
got to put your hands up like this. It
makes you feel kind of good."
It was a strange sight, had there
been anything but the buzzards to see
it. Side by side on the narrow shawl
knelt the two wanderers, the little,
prattling child and the reckless, hard
ened udventurer. Her chubby face
und his huggurd. angular vlssgo were
both turned up to the cloudless
heaven la heartfelt entreaty to that
dread being w ith whom they were face
to face, while the two voicesthe one
thin and clear, the other dotp and
harsh united in the entreaty for mercy
und ftirglvcness. The prayer finished,
they resumed their seat iu the shadow
of the bowlder until tho child fell
asleep, nestliug upon the broad breast
of her protector. He watched over
her slumber for some time, but nature
proved to be too strung for him. .1-or
three days and three nights he had
allowed himself neither rest nor re
pose. Slowly the eyelids drooped over
the tired eyes, and tho head sunk
lower upon the breast, until the man's
grlssled beard was mi.-ed with tho
golden tresses of his companion, aud
POth slept the same deep and dream
sss clumber.
Ilud tho wanderer remained awake
ior anothsr half -hour a strango sight
would have met his eves. Bar nwav
pn the extreme verge of the alkali
plain there rose up a little spray of
dust, very slight at first, und hardly to
be distinguished from the mists of the
distance, but gradually growing
higher and broader until it formed a
solid, well-dcllncd aloud. This cloud
continued to Increase in size until it
became evident that it could only be
raised by a great multitude of moving
creatures. In moro fertile spots the
observer would have come to the con
clusion that oue of those great herds
of bisons which grare upon the pruirie
laud was approaohing htm, Tins was
Obviously impossible iu these arid
wilds. As the whirl of dust drew
nearer to the solltury bluff Upon which
the two castaways wan reposing, the
canvus-covered tilts of wugotis und the
figures of armed horsemen began to
show up through the haze, and tho
apparition revealed Itself as being u
great Caravan Upon its journey for the
west. But what a caravan I When the
head of it hail reached tho base of
the mountains, the rear was not yet
visible on the horizon. Right
acrOSS the OnarmOUS plain stretched
the straggling array, wagons und
darts, men on hoTSOback und men on
foot. Innumerable Women who btng
gsrsd along under burdens, and chil
dren who toddled beside the wugons
or peeped out from under tho white
COtSringS. This was evidently no or
dinary party of immig rants, but rather
some uomud people who had beeu com
pelled from stress of circumstances to
Msk themselves u new country. There
rose through the clear air a confused
cluttering and rumbling from this
great mass of humanity, With the
creaking of w heels und the neighing
horses. Loud us it wus, it was not suf
ficient to rouse the two tired wayfarers
shove them.
At the head of the oulumn there rode
a score or more of grave, iron-faced
men, clad in somber, homespun gar
ments und armed with rifles. On reach
tiie buse of the bluff they halted aud
held u short council among themselves
"The wells are to the right, my
brothers," said a one, a hard-lipped,
clean-shaven man with grizzly hair.
"To the right of the sierra Blanco
so we shall reach the Ilio .!raude,"said
another.
"Fear not for water," cried a third.
"He Who could draw it from the rocks
w ill not now abandon His own chosen
people."
"Amen! Amen!" responded the whole
party.
They wero about to resume their
journey when one of the youngest and
keenest eyed uttered un exclamation
aud pointed up at the rugged crag
above them. From its summit there
fluttered a little wisp of piuk, showing
up hard und bright against the gray
rocks behind. At the light there was
a general reining up of horses and uu
slinpingof puns, w hile fresh horsemen
came galloping up to reinforce the
vanguard. The word "redskins" was
on every lip.
"There can't be any number of In
juns here, ' said the elderly man who
appeared to be iu command. "We
have passed the Pawnees, and there
are no other tribes until we cross the
great mountains."
"Shall I go forward and see, lirother
Stangerson?" asked one of the baud.
"And 1," "And I," cried a dozen
voices.
"Leave your horses below and we
will wait you here," the elder answered.
In a moment the young fellows had
dismounted, fastened their horses, and
were ascending the precipitous slope
which led up to the object which had
excited their curiosity. They advanced
rapidly and noiselessly, with the con
fidence and dexterity of practised
scouts. The watchers from the plain
below could see them flit from rock to
rock until their figures stood out
against the sky-line. The yotmg man
who had first given the alarm was lead
ing them. Suddenly his followers saw
hiin throw up his hands, as tluough
overcome with astonishment, and on
joining him they were nffected iu the
same w ay by the sight which met their
eyes.
On the little plateau which oroWTipd
the barren hill there stood a single
giant bowlder, and against this bowlder
there lny a tall man, long-bearded nnd
hard-featured, but of an excessive thin
ness. His placid face and regnlar
breathing showed that he was fast
asleep. Beside him lay a little child,
With her round white urms encircling
his brown, sinewy neck, und her
golden haired head resting upon the
breast of his velveteen tunic. Her rosy
lip; wi re parted, showing the regular
line of snow-white teeth within, and u
playful smile play d over her infantile
features. Her plump little white
legs, terminating in white socks, and
neat shoes with shining buckles,
Oal red n strange contrast to the long,
shriveled members of her companion.
'in the ledge of rock above this strangu
couple th.Te stood throe solemn buz
Hards, who, ut the sight of the new
comers, uttered raucous screams of dis
appointment and flapped sullenly
nway.
'I In: cries of the foul birds awoke tho
two sleepers, who stared about them in
Icwildermcnt. The man stupgered to
his feet and looked down npon the
plain which hail been so desolate when
sleep had overtaken him, and which
was now traversed by this enormous
body of men and of beasts. His face
assumed an expression of Incredulity
as he gflMd, und he passed his bony
hand over his eyes. "This is what they
call delirium, 1 pucm." lie muttered.
The child stood beside him, holding on
to the skirt of his coat, and said noth
ing, but looked ull round her viti tho
wondering, questioning gaze of child
hood. The rescuing party were speedily
able to convince the two enstawuys
that their appearance was no delusion.
One of them seized the little girl und
hoisted her upon his t.houldcr, while
two others supported her guunt com
panion und assisted him toward the
wugons,
"My name Is John Ferrier," the wun
dorer exclaimed; "me und the little un

The rost Is all dnad o' thirst und hun

"Is ahe your child?" asked some
one.
"I guess she is now," the other cried.
defiantly', "he's mine 'cause I saved
her. Noons will take her away from
me. She's Lucy t errier from this day
on. Who are you, though?" he con
tinued, glancing with curiosity at his
Stalwart, sunburned rescuers. "There
Seems to be u powerful lot of ye."
"Nigh upon ten thousand," said one
Of thn young men. "Wo ure the per
secuted children of (iod the chosen of
the angel Mcrouu."
"I never beard toll on him," said tho
wanderer. "He SppeSTS to have chosen
a fair crowd of ye."
"Do not jest at that which Is sacred,"
said the other, sternly. "We arc of
those who believe in those sacred writ
ings, drawn in Egyptian letters on
plates of beaten gold, which were
handed unto the holy Joseph Smith at
Palmyra. We have come from Jau
voo, in the state of Illinois, where we
had founded our temple. We have
cime to seek a refuge from the viohmt
man and from the godless, even though
It be the heart of the desert."
Tho name of Nauvoo evidently re
called recollections to John Ferrier.
'T see," ho said; "you ure the Mor
mons." .
"We are the Mormons," answered his
companions with mie voice.
"And where are you going?"
"We do not know. Thu hund of
God la leading us tinder the person of
our prophet. You must DOOM before
him. lbs shall say whut is to be done
with you."
They had reached the base of tho
hill by this time, and were surrounded
by crowds of the pilgrims pah-faced,
meek-looking women, strong, luughing
children, and anxioUS, earnest-eyed
men. Many were the cries of aston
ishment and of commiseration which
arose from thom when they perceived
the youth of one of the strangers und
the destitution of tho other. Their
eSCOrt did not halt, however, but
pushed on, followed by u great crowd
of Mormons, until they reached B wag
on which was conspicuous for 'its greet
size, und for the gaudlness and smart
ness of Its appearance. Six horses were
yoked to it, whereas the others were
furnished with two, or, at most, lour
apiece. Beside the driver there sut a
man who could not have been more
than thirty years of age, but whose
massive head und resulute expression
marked him us a leader. He wus lead
ing a brown-backed volume, but us the
crowd approached ho luid it aside and
listened attentively to an account of
the episode. Then ho turned to the
two castaways.
"If we take you with us," he said, in
solemn words, "it can only be as be

wilderness than that you should prove

in time corrupts the whole fruit. Will
yon come with us on these terms?"
"Guess I'll come with you on any
terms," said Ferrier, with such em
phasis that the grave elders could not
restrain a smile. The leader alone re
tained his stern, impressive expression.
"Take him, brother Stangerson," he
said, "give him food and drink, nnd the
child likewise. Let it be your task al
so to teach him our holy creed. We
have delayed long enough. Forward!
On. on to Zion!"
"On. on to Zion'" cried the crowd of
Mormons, and tho words rippled down
the long caravan, passing from mouth
to mouth until they died nway in a
dull murmur in the far distance. With
u cracking of whips and a creaking of

USEFULNESS OF MUSIC CLUBS.
These Afford Knlertaliiwenr. to Visitors
sad Are Improving to Active Members.
Unless one is absorbed by a passion
for music it very often occurs that uf tcr
mnrrim?e women at all events drop It
entirely. This is probably due iu u great
mcastiro to tho multitudinous cures that
appear In tho lifo of u woman of niodcr

berland, the leisure thut comes low.
mind nnd body too weary to do the
amount of practicing necessary to keep
up the fingers und voice without some
additional stimulant.
She will say when remonstrated with
on this subject: "Thero is no incentive
to practice. I havo no time to practice
new things and am tired to death of the
old ones."
Just hero and to the relief of thi
class comes the music club, with its
monthly or semimonthly recitals. The
incentive that competition always sup
plies is now found.
The smaller tho club tho greater the
individual benefit probably. Tliero is a
club Composed of eight members only iu
B small western towu which meets
monthly mid renders highly enjoyable
programme Tho members nrc all mar
lied und cumbered with many cures.
The amusements' and society in this
town uro limited, as they always are iu
.small towns. Judge, therefore, how like
a draft of water in u weary laud is tho
monthly recital to these women. Four
oi the husbands of the members sing and
uro equally divided m t,, parts; there
fore many beautiful MUniohoruSSS uro
rendered, as tho eight feminine voices
are equalli divided ulxo into a double
quartet, admirably balanced and from
long practice well blended.
Each member in turn is director of the
evening and supplies the club tiie month
before withcopiesof tueoctavochuruses,
quartets, trios, duets, etc., to be given
on her evening, and for which she is paid
cost price. She also informs the mem
bers individually what she wishes done
in the way of solos, etc., and iu a inun
ner blocks out the month's work.
Once in three months an open meeting
is given to invited guests, when the best
of the preceding quurter's work is repro
duced. Thus it may readily be wen
what ii help is such a club both to mar
ried amateurs and busy professionals.
Pupils us well aro greatly helped by
listening und helping in club pro
grammes, for not only is it the greatest
possible help to tUtCD togood music, but
it is also of inestimable benefit to benbie
to sing or play with self possession before
others, says a writer in Tho Etude.
