SILRNT DILL.
I had been for nearly a year roaming
over the West. In the conrse of my
wanderings I came upon an emigrant
train which was just starting out from
"the States," and joined it.
The novelty soon worn off and I found
the days fatiguing, the nights and sleep
only being desirable. I had been con
scions for days of a fever in my •eins,
lint, had scorned to complain, "and taking
a sort of savage delight in seeking to do
an extra amount of toil. It was my turn
to prepare supper for our mess, lint once
ready I went off as far as I could crawl
from the noise of the camp and the odor
of the cooking. The last I renunnber of
that day was my drerpning down by tho
side of some shrubs.
T on weeks afterward I opened my
eyes upon a different team from the one
I started with, and the driver was the
largest, most uncouth looking man I
ever saw. I was on a straw bed, made
up on one side of the wagon, and in an
swer to my call, the strange man bent
over me.. I asked Millie' questions.l bad
strength for, and then waited for the an
swot s. llc to me in the fewest possible
words that I was missed from the train,
and he sent back to look for me. That
I had "been dead beat for two weeks,
Ind had better keep Mill and go to sleep
f I could." e
I obeyed, because I could not, help it.
I received my food and medicine frow
the hands of my strange-looking friend,
but it seemed• impossible to get any in
formation from hi m.
My recovery was rapid, and as soon as
I :mule my appearance in' tho camp I
'.was warmly greeted by our company and
treated to many an extra dish by the
kind-hearted people.
I learned that -I had not been missed
until nearly noon of the day that I was
left, and then they had halted, and "Si
lent Bill" had volunteered to look me up,
had found ine, and had taken upon him
self the whole care during my sickness.
I could find out very little about the maif
who had thus brought me back to life.
Ile had joined the compact like my
self, at the last minute, 1414iven only
the one name, to which the Boys udded
another, until he was called all over the
camp . " Silent Bill." His team was g00d,,.
and he wan \yell supplied with provisions,
which he handed out generously to any
cue who hail need.
With my returning strength, '1"-kt:a
strong interest in everything, and would
gladly have been companionable and
useful, but he never called on me to do
anytl?ing„ unless some ono 'needed help,
theit'he would leave the care to me for
a time. lle was always ready to walk
that others might ride ; fatigue seemed
unknown to him. Foremost, when
danger threatened Was his gatint form,
and it was, always his rifle, Which biought
in the earliest game. It came about
that he held the gratitude of almost every
one in the train, but loud thanks seemed
to offend him greatly.
I never saw bins heSitate but (MCC j
then some children, two littlu girls, had
been running along with their mother,
asketrMin - to lift them up 'into
his wagon hnd give them a ride, as their
own team was far behind. He wont up
to ono of them, laid his hand upon -the
arm of one, 'halted back, rubbed his
hands together ;tad finally called to me.
"Put thorn in, will you said he.
I lifted them up and gai , e each a kiss
as I seated them upon the straw.
He was still looking - at his hands.
. "What's the matter?" I asked, "both
of thein together wouldn't be as heavy
as the man yob bore to camp that ddy,
only a few weeks past."
Ile said nothing, but -held his hands
open before me. They were brown and
hard. "Are - they dirty ?" I asked.
"Yes," said* he emphatically, and
shook them out at arm's length. Then
he started up his team and did not speak
again for hours.
All hearbi" became lighter as we a -
centlpd!the Sierras and began :to think
of finding an abiding place.
' When it came to leave taking "Bill"
was missing, the others started on with
their teams, 'and I staid by his-until sun
down.' Any number .of good-byes and
kindly messageB were left 'with mu for
him. And one woman gave me a little
Package saying c, "He was so 'kind to
Willie when he WasOcilc,' and his hand
made that precious little &aye bn Alto
mountains." I ,thought, to know, the
Bill value of the gift, Bill should have
received it, aP did, vret with the mo
ther's tears.-
- - -
When ho came bitele, wore alone
%non the ",
Ho asked, • "'Why didn't ycitt'„go' on
'with the others?". ' •
And I answered, "Banana - 1 did, not
,chookai to lonvo you alone, after all you
'knife dodo for me I shall go' with you,
if you will let me, it does not Make muc
difference to me where." •
Ile looked at me keenly. .
"You had better not," said he slowly ;
"you will wish you hadn't'some clay."
We had started a fire, and I could see
his face by the light of the blaze.
I felt drawn to him, not from any
sympathy of feeling, but because I was
convinced there would.come a time when
I could in a measure repay him for his
kindness to me.
I reached out my hand, " We'll stick
together a while, old fellow."
Ho wouldn't take it, but said r,"The
kettle boils, we might about as well eat
our grub as to waste time a talking."
I gave him the messages, which were
received in silence, and when I handed
the package he only said, " Lay it down."
We made ready for an early start in
the , morning, - then I rolled 14) in my
blanket, and with my feet to the fire lay
down to sleep. When I waked iv the
blttme had died down, but I could sdb'
Bill at a distance, bending over what
proved to be a hole in the ground. After
a while ho broke off some green broughs,
threw them in, and then hastily threw
in the earth.
if(? came and sat down by the fire, I
watched him for an hour or so, but ho
never moved, and when I .woke• in the
morning, he had not changed his posi
tion.
We started oil', but I made an excuse
td etr urn, mill TiurriaTY opened We'
ground where I had seen him working
in the night. Ido not know what I ex
pected to see, but I certainly was sur
' prised when, I found under Alm covering
of earth and green, the little package,
which had tearfully been entrusted to
my care.
I broke the string and found a small
copy of "Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress."
" I will keep it," I said, " and when
lie needs me most he will need this too."
When we reached the first miner's
camp, Bill waked up and was eager
enough until lie had scanned the face of
every loan. That day he looked weary,
and it was the rust time . lie -laid doWn
when I did for the night.
In the morning he sold Lis team, all
but two horses, those he packed with
blankets and provisions, and we struck
oft down the canon, stopping wherever
any ono was at work, and going out of
(mi. way if we heard of a solitary miner.
After a while lie left oil telling me to
leave him, and I think the companion
ship made him feel more human. Once
lie stopped a week when I seemed tired
out, but'WaS restless and uneasy, and
declared "another day would kill him."
" Tell me; " said I, ono day, " why
you will not rest ; this life is wearing
upon you ; you .cannot endure half the
fatigue you could upon the Plains. Let's
take up a claim and settle down,
you will go on—let me help you ; couldn't
"\o," he answered, "and I believe
you are holding me back. I have felt it
ever since 14Irst looked upon your face
when I found you half dead by .those
bushes that day. I wish I bail left you

We were,stopping at ono of the places

Ono day as I sat by bed, I took
from my Kie , ket the little book I had
found buried under the green boughs.
I read two or three chapters aloud; then
put it up without a word: - He becthde'
interested, and I read on from day to
day, as ho could bear it, until the book
was finished.
Then he asked, " Where did Sou ge

"I dug it from tl•e ground," said

He held out his hand for it, and so it

giving Inc a single picture, and at an - -
other time unrolling whole years like a

His first remembrances hail been of a
hole where rum had left nothing but
ruin. Had never heard a kind word, or
had a kiss left upon his childish face,
but he -hated the meanness and filth
which surrounded him and ran away to
sea, when only fourteen years of age.
When lie came back, grown to man
hood, his old home had been sweptjtmay
by the tide of improvements, and his
relations were all gone, save one fair
headed sister, who might have been his
idol, but nhe vanished out of his life
without a word of farewell, and for
years he never heard_ of her or the man
who had lured hor away.
The year that I Met him, he had been
through the West ; he couldut tell what
for, except that, he lied made money and
wanted to spend it, Vice and luxury
were strangers to him, so his wanfil were
few and simple.
Ile came to a cabin; one night, and as
it was late, asked to be allowed to 'stay ;
the man consented, and. bade the wo
man provide some supper for the trav

His host went out, and his voice could
be heard at some distance front the

him closely from a window, then mo

Saying nothing about his adventure,

he found that he had neon his long lost

his life by getting him away from her
husband, who mistrusted that ho had
money, and would not hesitate to mur

she'llad witnessed dreadful things, but

THE PHIL4DELPHI4 PARE
Philadelphia has the•reputation of be
ing-a slow town. • It takes its own way
and its own time hi adopting now ideas,
and is not quick . to.follow the example
of its neighbors, but when it mier gets
under way it is most sure to do some
thing substantial and noteworthy. The
Central Pail had been for ten years the
pride of New York before the Quaker
City bethought itself of dping anything
worthy of mention in the same direction.
Now, however, it is fairly started, and
its Fairmount Park' is prinnising, in
some rcspees,,to outstrip the world. It
crtains an area of two thousand seven
hundred and forty acres, so disposed as
to cover both banks of the Schuylkill
and of the Wissahickon for Many Miles,
and to bring within the reach of visitors
the finest scenery to be found near any
largo city in America. _
While Now York has had to make its
park at enormous cost, from a most un
promising rectangular mass of rock,
,marsh and waste, Philadelphia has liter
ally had only to open roads ainl make
clearings convert more than three
times the a ea of Central .Park into a
pleasure ground, with which,. in many
respects, Central Park can never hope
to vie.
For instance, Central Park was mainly
covered with squatters' huts, and in its
more fertile parts, with market gardens ;
that in Philadelphia is chiefly made up
of the oldest and finest country seats
and (arms in America. The ,Philadel
phia park has fully 10,000 trees larger
than any single specimen in Now York
pdrk. These are not, to any consider
able extent, forest trees, but . often well
grown specimens, set' out • about the
time of the Revolution by the country
gentlemen of that period, 9 , :aped., na
tive trees left to attain do r fr
pelfcct de
volopment in pastures and meadows, as
has always teen the custom in Eastern
Pennsylvania.
The valley of the Wissahickon, a
gorge about seven miles long, only wide
enough for the beautiful creek and a
comfortable drive, is such a hemlock
shaded, dell-like retreat,
,as wo would
expect to find in the Catskill mountains,
rather than within the corporate limits
of a largo city; - and it is refreshing to
think that when all around shall teem
with the' busy life of a crowded town,
this artery of rural seclusion and fresh
ness will, thanks to the foundation of the
park, maintain its country-like charac
ter, and be forever sacred to the free
recrcatiqn of the people whose'mperty
it is r and that the scenery shOWn in our
illustrations, which is repeated in char
acter for miles and miles, can always be
enjoyed and never despoiled.—lkarth

FOURTH Ole JULY.
BY lIR'NUY WARD BEECDER
Oh, the washed face of Heaven is as
much improved as is a school boy's faro
new fixed for Sunday ! A rain is a re
voider. Now the shy sinks back, and
the heavens are deeper mid bluer. Now
the hills crone forward, and throw off
'their vails, that' you, may look them in
the very-eyes. Yesterday there were no
hills. A coppery haze covered Limn
iron' sight. You gazed into the faMiliar
places and saw only that dim, Cull,
obscuring smoke and vapor, .
Down came/the rain. Down came
with it dust, 'caper and smoke. Back'
came the hills. There they stand,-look
ing over at me full of smiles'—both they
and I. The wind is Haab. The air is
cool—is cold. On this very lag day of
Juno I smell frost : But we'll scare all
that away oft Fourth of July. Mr.
I3onner, do you celebrate that day? Do
Lyou buy _your boyslieaps_of_firecrackers,
wheels, grasshoppers, torpedoes, 4 and
everything elso that will spit fire and
make n noise? I do. The fact is, when
filmy, I was so hungry for such tliings—
an tufted hunger—that I look upon boys
with emitpasidOn. I see to it that they
have-a bellyful of noise at least once a
year.
-I know all the sage objections. Them
is danger ; they will spoil their clothes ;
it is a waste of Money, spending many
dollars that only amount to smoke ;
annoying peaceable . folks; mul turning
creation generally lute a Bedlam lot
loose ; all of which objections are not
worth a cracker, (fire cracker,) as Isbell*
proceed to sliow.
1. As to danger,.. That shows that you
have not taught your. boys to take care
of themselves. ParentS, are responsible
for their childrcies - knoWing how to run,
wrestle, climb, hunt, fiat, swim, ride,
leap, fence, mow, box, and setoff fire
works, without danger. There is an
alarming neglect in those things. We
don't want a generation of :milksops,
that are always safe because they skulk.
We want manly moll, rho can do any
thing and everything that is honest and
honorable, and Still be safe, and be
gentlemen, too.
2, What wee clothes made for, but to
spoil, if using bo spoiling? , Put on old .
clothes; Find if much fire is itbout, put
on irOohni . onea.. Don't hot the girls have
,Qn - eotton areams—for girls are all kip, on
Fourth of" July, anclminit take patt with
crackers and the lighter kinds of fire
works. Boys Should bave obitlip third,
do not require thinking about, rt, is an
ineffable nnisanceto a spirited boY, ts,‘,. be
checked at every, atop by the feat of a
spot, or rip, or t dash of mud, Thin
keeping the clothes 'clean is quite in oiler
Sundays. It fills .up the time. which is
apt to hang heavy on boy's hands. But
in' play time, and especially on high
." training" or "'lection day,"
or "Fourth of July," the boy who will
keep his clotheil okapis a little Pharisee,
taking care of the outside at the e2spense
Of the inside.
B. It is a waste of money. uis all
spending. Yet men'will Ituy,bread, .and
meat, and apples ! But there is nothing
. to. shoye _fur.. it. Is suclf. a_ thundering
- stirring up to the very bottom, once or
twice a year, nothing? Is it nothing to
the child's imagihation all its life after
ward, that there was one day full of
wild delight ; and one eyening full of
wheals;. and fizzing whirligigs, and
rockets, and all manner of things that
never entered thahead of the apocalyptic,
seer? Why, it stirs our .blood to thi'
moment, to think how 'we were for
biddearfthen at school at Hartford) to
go out early on the i'_glorious Fourth"
—bow about four of the morning, the
- •
sir-pounder rung out its sound of
vitation—how the shouts came up th e
xtreets,"how we were like to die with
_kingings = how, at length, daring all
threats, we slipped
. on on'r clothes, got
out of the window upon a shed, and
were on the point of jumping fifteen feet
down—that was nothing to a nimble
boy !—when, 0 woe ! woe ! a hoarse,
infernal voice behind called, " Henry,
Henry ; - -done in, you rascal :" it Was
not the father. No, blessings on him.
He had the boy in him to the end, and
would have sympathized with )1 little
wretch. No—it was—. Never mind—
he's.dead, and we'll say nothing. Very ,
likely it might be indelicate to mention
fire-works in his presence. Back we
were milled, and to pay fur such disobe
dience were , doomed to stay in the house
all day, and. that day Fourth of July
We were possessed not of seven,-but of
seven hundred Fourth of July demons
all that day, and all that week ; and to
this hour we feel a slight resurrection of
them, every time we think of this bar
barity. Money wasted! Pa will smoke
half a dozen cigars a day, and ma drink
numbe4ess cups of tea, all for evall - -
cent excitement, and yet talk to limo boy
about, wanton waste of money for fire
crackers !
4. It annoys peaceable folks.
Of course toe SICK must rule too
Boys need but a hint, and they will take
care of the infirm. But as to those in
ordinary health, they might as well de
mand that winds should not moan, and
thunder storms shake the earth, and that
birds should not get up so early to dig,
and that roosters should not crow, or
asses bray, or crickets chirp, or katy
dids threaten to tell, and never do it. •
But enotigh. Stand out of the way of
the boys, Mr. Bernier. Let the Ledger
be orthodox on that great matter of a
real, robukions, joyful Fourth of July.
Wo have 110 objections to other modes of
celebration. Processions, orations, tem
perance lectures, Sunday-school frolics,
arc all right, and not at all inconsistent
with rockets and crackers. But don't
stop vigorous children from working off
their exhilaration by real, physical,
visible, tangible fun, that appeals to all
the senses. There is just one kind of
lire-works that ought to be loft out of
every Fourth of July, and that is, Liquid
Fire-works. Then -all the rest will be.
joyful and harmless.—.Y. Y. Ledger.
TILE BREAD PROSPECT.

EMEME!
The July returns of the etatisticid
the Department of Agriculture
show a marked increase in the average
of corn, amounting to fully 3,000,000 of
acres, of which 2,000,000 are due to the
determination of the Cotton States to
supply themselves with bread and meat.
lois assumed that the area in corn equals
42,0Q0,000 of acres, or more than half of
he total acreage of all tilled crops. The
only States failing to increase their arca
in corn are New York, the New Eng
land States and the Pacific States. The
percentage of increase in other States, is
as follows : New Jersey, 2 ; Pennsylva

The condition of Winter wheat on the

JENNY
TIER RECENT APPEARANCE TN LONDON.
•A London correspondent of the New
York Herald writes
Jenny Lind was tire attraction which
brought a party of Ameiican amateurs
to ,St. James' Hall the other evening.
The juices of admission were high, ran,g
ing from three to twenty-One shillings
for single sdids, but the place was
crowded 'by an audience very showy, if
not very tastefully dressed. The seats
for the chorus were well filled, and the
Orchestral performers, few in nunsfer,
were grouped hi front of the singers. At
the appointed time Mr. Goldschmidt ap

with the most cordial applaitse.

very different in appearance from what
she was in the days of her American sod

isould_h_e_rceognized_at once,. She wears
her hair in the same peculiar way she
did in her young days, and certain atti-
Andes and gestures peculiar to her then
are still retained. Once or twice during
the evening she sat looking upward; her
hands lying crossed on her lap, as in the
'portraits of !torso abundant in the United
States, and at such moments she is the
Jenny Lirbi whose rarest in the New
World now seems like along past dream
of unparalleled triumphs.

than her years would warrant. In Eng

able. Madame Lind-Goldschmidt, on the
occasion of this public appearance, wore
a mauve satin dress, with very short
sleeves and elaborately trimthed with
FMCS A - mild necklace, fastened
a diamond, encircled her neck, and a
white feather adOrned her hair. This
dress, though not suitable to the indi
vidual, nor in accordance with the
marked simplicity which was eliaracte!:-
istic of the Jenny Lind of years gone by,
was, nevertheless, in entire conformity
with the customs of English society.
During the instrunthutal •prelude to
the oratorimz'which, by the way, the
composor modestly calls "a sacrcd pas
toral"—and during the recitative for
,the tenor and the fine chorus, "Sing
unto the_ Lord," Madame Goldschmidt
sat quietly listening. The first note of
the part of "Ruth" occurs in a duet,
with Naomi (Mrs. Paley), leading to an
allegro, " Whither Thou Goest I Will
Go." This allegro, running to the upper
B flat, was a severe test of Lind's present
powers. Her voice to-day shows only
faint traces of its once exquisite beauty.
It is an evident effort for the great artist
to sing, and at times this effort becomes
more painful to the audience—or rather
the spectators—than to the vocalist.
There is, moreover, au occasional tend
ency to sharpness of intonation. ThoSe
who remember the case of Jenny Lind's
singing when in America—something
quite as noticeable as the charming quality
of her voice—would find it sad to hear it
now. And yet when the first impression
is worn away, and the eye and ear be
come reconciled to the changes which
time has. wrought, the consciousness
that this woman is yet, perhaps the most
transcendent of living vocal artists is
suddenly felt. Such perfect phrasing,
such superb declamation, to the musician
at least, atones for the lack of vocal
force. In hearing Jenny Lind even to
day you may hear the most magnhicent
musical declaimer the world has ever
known. The lire, spirit-and triumphant
grace with which she concludes ti phrase
such. as " Thy people shall be my people
and thy God my God," Pi something to
remember, for a lifetinie. 'ln the brilliant
finale' to the • orator, "( ) Lord, d Will

Bob Carson rode up, Areal mounted on
his fayo'rite hunting horse , Leo. A
shout from the brave twelve men bid
him welcome, their object stated, and,
requesting him to take command.
Nothing suited Carson more than this.''
He told Capt. Price that lie could fol- -
low a cold trail as fast as any living man
could, and to-give himself no uneasiness,
-that he would bridg tiVelve men
back and not lose a scalp.
The sequel shows'how he succeeded
The second day out they struelc the
trail, late in the evening they saw in the
distance a large party of Indians, and
as they were on friendly - terms with the
different tribes, Carson and his, band
hurried to overtake them, hoping to
gain some information concerning the
stock. •'
The Indians saw :them approaChlug . :
and halted for thein to come up. As
Carson and hiS Men came nearer, his
,keen eye discovered they were on the
war path, but knowing no feat', lie rode
up, and the Indians, - 1,101 strong, closed
.wingx,-and completely-surrounded - them, —
" Yeds tedoly—you arc my prisoners !"
Carson, after luestioning the chief
short time, found that they were also in
pursuit of lost stock, stolen as they con
sidered, by the United StateTS troops. .
The Mexicans had told them this tub
ffr screen themselves,
sou's intrigue could not induce Sandi
yore to release him and his men.
l'he 'text morning the old Chief com
menced making preparations to shoot,
and scalp his prisoners. Carson took
him aside fora talk, and finally per
suaded him to send ore ofhis r o unds to
Capt. Pike's camp, and if things were
not found as represented, that on the
fourth day from the departure. Of said
runner,• at twelve o'clock, lie might, do
with - Iris 'prisoners tts 'he pleased. The
runner started, Carson and his men
sanguine that everything would prove
satisfactory to the chief, remained their
Prisoner's cheerful attil happy. .
On the morning of the fourth day all
were momentarily expecting the runner
to afipear. Ten o'clock came, and no
runner in sight. Everything in the camp
was excitement and commotion. 'Sandi
vere was certain his runner had been
foully dealt with, and in his anger 111;00
preparations for summary vengeance.
Twelve o'clock and 119 runner in sight as
far as the eye could reach. -
Carson thought his hour had come,
preparations were made ; and, wel
knowing the terms would be enforecif, he
nailed to talk with him before ho and his
men were shot. Carson and Sandivere
commenced their talk, Carson iii the
meantime walking leisurely from the
camp, telling the chief that. the horses,
saddles, blankets, etc., were all donated
and willed to him, the great - chief, and
that he would not be compelled, on
account of his donation, to divide-them
among his warriors.
The chief was much interested and
pleased with his donation, and Lys this
time they were eighty to one hundred
yards from the Indian camp, when Car
son, with the dexterity of an old moun
taineer, pulled from his boot Ir;`,. , la.ii ugly

The Indians, seeing their chief in

would shoot hint on the spot. The old
chief, well knowing" the man ho had to
deal with, instantly complied and
motioned his nice back. 'Carson Then
