The glistening snow lies deep on every hill, The angry wind comes roaring o'er the plain, With icy chains is bound each little rill, With iron sway doth slorn-browed Winter reign. Like shivering giants stand the forest trees, Bereft of all their leafy covering, And, as they tremble in the chilly breeze, Seem of their sorrows sadly murmuring— Thus life hath Winter days when all is drear, When sorrow's snow' the heart lies freezing round, When hopes like leaves are scattered far and near, When doubts, and fears, and cankering cares a bound. But Winter's snows with Winter pass away, Each tree again its leafy bloom displays, - NeWhopes spring fourth as older ones decay, And life seems brighter for its winter days. MY ONE LIFE.

I could see that all this was rapidly passing through my fath er's mind, but it did, not bow, him tile ninth part of an inch. So I sat still. I suspected nothing but a war of words.— The hag had an old quilted hood, and an old quilted cloak. which reaebed to her feet. \- and was belied about the waist. "You area women?' shia‘my father. ..01 course, I am; what do you ask me that question for?" "Have you a husband ?" “Yea." “W here does he live ?" ..In Truston." “Weli, then, if ou have a husband, why do you not live at home, instead of gad' ding about and] a night 'as this, fit only for fiends to be abroad ?” Well. While the train of which this lady was a member was encamped at a point on the Humbott, where the Lesson trail inter• sects the Carson track of travel, she visit ed the tent ol,a family, consisting elan el derly couple and nue child—a daughter of fourteen or fifteen years. The old lady was sitting on a pile of blankets, under the canvass, encouraging a mos), determined attack of the 'sulks,' while ike "masculine head of allairs had planted himself on his wooden tongue, and was sucking his pipe as leisurely as though he expected to re main there forever.
