LOSS' on the Pine Tree's moss-:grown feet,
I sat, one pleas4nt summer day:
I leaned against his lP•east, and cried,
"My joy bath parsed away

To sit Mid muse at thy 'brown feet ;
To hear thy loving' ; voice, and learn
If Life, indeed, is sweet. •
"The hills stand bhthed in morning light,
Below. in peaceithe valley sleeps,
While, brooding:oVer tranquilly,

"I am alone; the blab sky bends,

The flowers smile Upward to its face,
But that.is nought to

The light cloudgitloating by ;
The wild wind sings amid the trees,
But where, in life, am 1?"
" Alt: child !"—the' °Mete replied—

Praying that o'er thy path may fall
One blessed gleam of day,
And see'st not that the sky above
Is lit with glory evermore
And where thy weary feet move slow,
God's angels tread before :
"Thou dreamest of the pillar'd fire,
And vet forgetest that, as well, -
Across the desert's burning sand
The - Cooling shadow fell.
"As to the wither'd autumn leaves
Thu blossoms of the summer cling,
With blessings from thy faded past

A WEEK IN LOUIS.
It snowed and bleW and sleted until
the earth was all glazed over, and--all the I
commonest trees and bushes were flashing
with diamonds, and anybody could skate
along the high road to the railroad station,
where I. wlio had no Skates nor skill iu
sliding, brought mySelf to, after a slippery
walk one bright February morning.
waited and waited, as I had done the day
; before, for the train that had run off the
track two days before, but which the offi
cials insisted would certainly come along
by and by. And along towards night it
did come poking along pith au engine in
such adie away condition that it had been
losing six hours in forty miles for want of
ability to get up steam. I went to the
next station and tried there to do some
business but failed and waited for the three
o'clock passenger train from Cincinnati to
; St, Louis, It came at five, and then
I proved to' be a freight train, as the Ex
press was demolished. — At length we were
ingloriously dragged to the kink of the
Father of waters at the end of a slow;
!Freight, .and landed. No Omnibus oil
baggage wagon meets the, freight, so we
had to lcavo our baggage, and crossing!
the ferry, find our way to a hotel the best
way we could.. By an industrious system,
of interrogation I found the city Hotel to I
! which I had been directed, and went to
; bed and waited until day light to set out I
on the several expeditious 1 had laid out.
Next morning my first raid was on the.

letters but could'nt find any,- I followed
the Directions of the Directory to find Mr.

Flowerer, I had another errand for a
lady in Illinois, and set out according to
agreement, in search of her mother, from
whom she could get no letters although
she wrote every week. I observed that
the hotel was on 3rd street, and the Post
Office on 2nd street; so I concluded that
like Philadelphia, the streets were num
' beredwestward, beginning from the river,
and with this guess for a guide I started
for Bth street. I folloWed Market past
(the Musenm, (which I dant enter, the'
I strongly tempted), and whp I arriveit at
Bth street, 3 / 4 had no idea which way to

woman who came along, which way to go

!ward, and to time north I turned, and went
across a good many streets until I found
the yight one and - began to count the num
bers, but found the houses numbered after
I a fashion of 'their own, the. numbers on
one side bearing neither relation nor. pro.;
portion to those on; the other, and as I
was on the wrong Side, of the street, I

covered the unique labelling adopted on

the lady to whom her daughter's name.
was a ready pairsport. Here again I learn
ed wore of the..beauties of, that delectable
" - circumlocution office" on 2nd St
latly.testified that not more than one let-
ter in five which she had posted this Win
ter had ever reached those to whom they
were directed, and as for those. sent her
she could'ut get them at all, and had been
for two mouths full of anxiety concerning
the daughter in Illinois, from whom she
heard nothing until I came. There
is a model system for you! Others how
ever say that they have no:trouble, but
another lady who had been absent six
weeks told ine,that not one of her letters
home during that period had ever reached
her family, though they inquired almost
daily. A member of my new friend's fam
ily hunted up a Good Templar who put
me on the track to -find my letters, as I
pocketed. my present disappointment and
with a vetbal direction I started out to
call on everybody's AUNT FAN :sir.
I was told to take an omnibus, but I
had no notion of entering that animated
cooper's shop, to run the risk of being
punched on both sides by the unmannerly
hoops of the ladies, so I used natures lo
comotive aparatus, and walked a mile and
a half up Broadway, as the north end of
3rd street is called. Here I followed the
untranslatable directions I had received
and found the home of the transplanted
Buckeye poetess, authoress, and oratress,
on a swell of land overlookin! , the " Mound
son of this pretty sobriquet whicla found
on various Bakeries, Breweries, Groceries
and Mechanics shops through the town.
The name '‘vas bestowed in honor of cer-
taiu sightly bluffs . or eminences which
have been dug down to fill ponds and
sink-holes with, so that the really pretty
natural advantages for beauty and health
are nll sacrificed to the carrying out of
the dead level, Philadelphia chequer-board
pattern, which is the plan of most western
cities. A very convenient and economi
cal plan too, but as there is needed in
every city, parks and open grounds for
breathing places, x‘Flty did'nt they leave
the ponds and mounds for a picturesque
' , common" like that in Boston ? A
" mound city" without any mounds is
rather a flat affair.
The town is not built ;up city-wise as
far as Mr\ GAGE'S villa-like residence,
but the houses are scattered about, village
fashion, here and there as it happens, on
ttreets which are laid out, but not made
yet. A drive to town takes one past mul
titudes of " sink-holes" which it was sug-
vested, wore the places where the missing
mounds had been pulled up by the roots.
They hear an unromantic resemblance to
old. cellars partly filled up. Fissures thro'
the limestone foundations of the city and
country here, have allowed the water from
above through the course of ages, to filter
through and carry the soil with it, leaving
hollow inverted cones to show the way to
the subterancan water-drains through the
rock. A little work would transform them
into capital cellars ready drained, but this
cannot be done unless they. happen to
stand in the right place for following out
the arbitrary chequer•board pattern. They
are big enough sometimes for castle vaults,
and have the " underground paSsages,"
and " secret chambers," and all that kind
of medieval fixings, ready done up.
• But
romantic arrangements take' room, and
room takes time to go around it, and a
full-blooded westerner could'nt afford to
circumnayigate anything which takes
room, even if he had nothing upon earth
to do with his time. A lady left three
circular parks, like three chain links, as a!
legacy to the city, and as they happened
to stand a little above the territory aronnd!
them, the city is digging them down in
stead of doing the cheaper and prettier
job of Walling them up.
But I'm a good while getting to Arrr
FANNY'S. I did get there however and
spent a day instead of Making, a call, and
wished that every canting croaker about
the slovenly and shrewish propensities of
"strong minded women" could see and
appreellite that home, beautiful as only a
o•reat-hearted and strong-minded woman
of good. taste arid fine feeling .could make
any place. A writing table and its ap
,purtenances, a piano, a sewing machine
and a cage of canaries, were some of the
features of the sitting-room. A middle
aged lady with soft curls threaded with
silver, shading a pleasant face, talked
I cheerily in an uncommonly agreeable voice
with old and young, at home alike with
either, and not seeming to feel older than.

"There's a spirit above itnd a spirit below,
A spirit "f joy and a spirit of woe;
The spirit 'above is the spirit divine,
And the one below is the spirit of wine."
Some members of Schnitzler Lodge were
present and invited me to meet with them
on Monday eve, which I would gladly have
done had I staid in town. They assured
me that their Lodge didn't meet over a
distillery, that only the ante-room was

don't own the buildings they cannot con

divorce the garret and cellar I hope the
" Spirit Divine" will 'get down low enough
to neutralize the spirits in the lower re•

Tice next day was Saturday and I had
resolved to go - up to Alton, but was pre-'
viously forced to go and hunt up my
trunk which I had had marked fur the
City lintel, and left at the depot, for rea
sons already given. As, it didn't come
to me I went to see if I couldut find it.
Before I got to the' station-house I met
the baggage master who accosted me with,
"Are you looking for your trunk. It was
sent to the depot ou the 'corner of 4th
and Chestnut Streets the day after you
came. As there was no cheek the bag
gage-man wouldn't undertake to take it.
to the Hotel, for if it should be lost he
would be responsible." So. I went right
back and crossed the river for the third
time, wondering hovir that baggage-man
should know me after several, days, when
he saw car loads - of folks every day, and
how he should remember my particular
trunk and its history, when he had han
dled several hundred others since. The
day was bright and tolerably warm and
the ice - running in the river was dimin
ishing rapidly. The west wind had blown
it in long "winrows" against the eastern
shfire, where it thumped ominously
against the sides of the ferry boats, and
then went under, coming out edge upper

in the sun. twas in nowise struck with
the appearance of the majestic Father of

this place. It formerly was a good deal
wider, /but they have built a dyke to turn
the whole body of water into a narrower
channel, for the sake of deepening the
road for shipping—or steumboating---

presume somebody will get it done some
time or other.
After hunting up my trunk, I was
_ .
told that the regular Alton cars didn't
start out on Saturday but that an accom
modation car Was appended to the freight.
I took my.trunk and went over to the Al
ton depot. Here after waiting an hour
and a half ; the' gave out that the'freight
couldn't. go, so I - had my trunk securely
locked 'up, and returned to the city.—
The teams rushed on board the boat as
they do every time, crowding and jostle
ing to
,get the best place, and running
!foul of each other O got into a fight—not
the teams but the teamsters. The crowd
above looked down and commented. One
man leaned over and called out the obvi
ons truth, - "That's whiskey fighting down
there!" • One grim old 'codger "wished
he was d.lwit there Co take a hand with

The "Horse Fair" was in a da& room,
occupying one end of it. A screen came
down from the ceiling as low as the top
of the picture, and behind this screen the
gas was lighted, throwing all the light in
the room directly an the . piettire. A cord

could compare "Ornone," but the
"llorse Fair" is incomparabl. - My mind
ran over whole galleries of paintings I
had seen, in search of anything - akin to
it, in vain. I thought I appreciated art
before, but I. had never had 'an idea of
the magic illusions it is. capable of pro-
ducing.
You look and see a magnificent paint
ing and are riveted to the spot, but the
longer you gaze the more certain yuu be
come that it is not a painting at all, but a
real road full of - horses and men. You
can see the leaves in the pale,' yellow
•een spring woods almost flutter with
the jar of the "trampling troop." You
expect every moment to see the- rider
jerk back the head of that vicious white
horse which is trying to bite his neigh
bor ; and you watch that wild black one,
trying to throw his rider, with a breath
less interest, hoping that he will rear no
higher but come down on all fours again
without hurting any body, - You believe
if you had cult-comb you could strait
en that sorrel pony!s tangled mane and
foretop, and you think you have seen that
sober pair of greys "lots of times." The
perspective is absolutely faultless. You
know it is near noon by the short round
shadows on the grouhd. You know if
that rope was not in the way, you could
walk right between those animals. You
can scene to see both sides of them—an
illusion 1 never dreamed of in - painting.
I remarked, that Enwm LANDSEER
when he saw this painting, .said he had
found his master..
"Yes !" exclaimed the proprietor, "I
stood by him when he said it. Au Eng
lish friend of his, jealous for his nation's
as well as his friend's credit, said to him
that he was the head
. of that 'school
of painting, and • one could rob
him of his crown as king of animal
painters; but LANDSEER loved. his art
more than his own reputation as an - artist,
and almost resented the flattery. lie
turned to the speaker and said : 'I tell
you if I could paint for a hundred years,
never could produce such a work as
that !'" •
That reply was better than any picture
LANDSEER ever painted ; great artist tho'
he be. An out-rivalled artist is seldom
so magnanimous. Ile told several anec
dotes otilosa which - I had never heard
before—said_ she was .exceedingly shy and
retiring among . people, put perfectly
dauntless among beasts. She keeps a
whole yard full of outlandish pets, and
the speaker said he once had the Misfor
tune to enter the wrong gate when he
went to call on the great Artiste; and to
his consternation found himself yarded iu
with six huge bull, and other beasts too
various too - mention. "I c ! ..nfess" con
tinued the little man, "that 1 was afraid
and wished myself out of the serape, but
Rosa saw the trouble and,came to meet
me,_ and pushing her great horned pets
to one side, made a lane for me to the
house !'" Yet he added, she was so quiet
and feminine in her. manners, that when
her painter's dress was off nobody would
dream that that' shy, abstracted, absent
minded young lady was the greatest
painter in the world!.
Reluctantly were we obliged to leave
the hall at last. - I wonder when ever I
shall again see three such• manifestations
of womanlioodin one day. FnANOF.s D.
