woods, with a brook slanting downward
through the shadow, and dropping in
miniature cascades over low ridges, or
murmuring over the mossy stones at the
bottom. The trees abot4 were of patri
archal gro4h, and some had braved the
storms of a century. The leaves under

ono of these, with his head resting on his
hand, a young man
. lay asleep. There
,was something in his attitude as he lay
there, which bespoke power of mind in a
high order. his forehead white as a wo
man's, was high and bold. Ms nose
aquiline, his features angular—too much
so for beauty, and at a first glance, one
might have thought him-to be a homely
man. But a second glance was sure to'
be followed by another, until his inti
mate friends was ready to swear_that' he
was handsome. He lay there with a
smile upon-his lips, like boy asleep.

than they. It is a sad thing when a than,
of thirty years tdves up life as a useless
thing. ". Get money ; for money, is pow

to labor for. He had money enough, and
his was not the nature to go on hoarding
for money's sake. He only cared for it
for the good it would do. But ho was
weary of the city, and had some to the
place where he was born and bred, and
hoped to lie down among the flowers on
the Old farm and forget that the. milieu

soon.
He found himself better in the
country. ills heart opened and grew
younger. He felt better, purer, nobler,
than he was before, when going a • round
of a young nian in society in New York;
at theatres, at sparring cribs, at halls and
the opera. There was something in this
quiet country life full of strange pleasure
to him. Coming out that morning for a

and remembered it, as a place that ho

her rapidly, and wondering that people
Should call her odd or visionary. She
loved to talk of idealities, to be sure.
But she did it hi such
_a tender, loving
way that Gabriel was half in loye with
her before a week, had gone by, and
wholly so in another.
They had alhorn in the flesh at the
hotel, in the shape of an old maid, who
haunted GabriCrllke his shadow. Miss
Aramiuta Jessup was a woman of many
trials. According to her account the
men of MS generation were a set of heart- .
less scamps, who did nothing but trifle
with the hearts of poor confiding woman.
How many times the fossilizathing she
called i heart had flut#red since Miss
Araminta reached her teens is not to be
computed in an ordinary way. It must
be i•etnembered that this was some years

susceptible to the tender passion. •

disregarding .Araminta'p advice to get

retreat she sought at once. From the

Ella had a good view 'of the wrecked
ship. She was not. fiftyyards from the
shore, in the full power of the breakers,
and her crow were clinging to the rig
ging, not dating to attempt to approach
that perilous shore. They hadseep one
man try it, and lie was hisiled hack, with
a skull crushed like au eggshell. , Ella
saw the men on the shore grouped
together, and she lost sight-of. Gabriel.

She was conscious that he was in terrible
danger, and tobe forced baek.npOn that
shore was certain death. He was a noble
swimmer, and at last, with s thrill of
joy s she saw him lay his, hand upon the
rigging of the schooner. A wave break

Wyoming, one of the youngest of our
Territories, possesses.both wealth and en
terprise, and bids fair in a few years to
become an honor to. the Republic.
Strange as it may seem to those .whose
geography has-become rusty, Wyoming
is the very center of the nation. A re
cent writer says : " The real divide of
the continent is at Creston, ono hundred
and eighty seven miles west of Shernian.
Here, at an elevation of 7,030 feet from
the sea, in the,_midst of sage brush and
alkali beds, is the real backbone of the
n'afiiiii! — Should a . spring rise here its wa
ters would divide, part flowing into tpe
Pacific, and 'part into the Atlantic ocean:"
Forty miles west of Laramie, ono of the'
principal cities of Wyoming,. is Sheep
Mountain whose peak is 13;000 feet above
the sea. Laramie itself is regularly laid
Out, and has a stream of pure, clear wa
ter running through the principal streets.
Gold - ,: silver, copper, iron, and coal have
been discovered in this , Territory, and
promise, in due course of tithe, to be the
Source of immense wealth. The moun
tains - are, covered with timber, and 'a
great quantity of lumber is constantly
being removed from them. The foliage
at the' base of the mountains is so dense
that the sun never penetrates it even in

But God does'not require us tarty the
whole at once. HO rtercifullY , imites the
bundle, and gives us first ono stick' , which.
Weitto to carry today, and then .auother
which we aro to carry to morrow; and so
on. This we might 'easily manage, if we
would only bear' the burden appointed
for us each day; but we choose to increase
our troubles By carrying yesterday's sack
over again to day, and adding to nior
roWiiTb-u-rden to, our load - before we aro
required to bear it. William Jay puts
the same truth is anothdr way. We
may consider the year before us a desk
containing three hundred and silty-five
letters addressed us—ono for every day,
announcing its trials, and prescribing
its employments,, with an order to open
daily no letter but tho letter for the day.
Now We , may be strongly tempted to un
seal beforehand some of the remainder.
This, however, would only servo to 'cm=

The tongue ntaf be employed about,
