THE WINVER DAIS.
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.
'Tis not for man to trifle; life is brief,
And sin is hero:
Our age is but the falling of a leaf,
A dropping_tenr.
We have - no time to sport away the hours;
All must be earnest in a world like ours.
Not MANY lives, but only ottE have we;
One, only one—
How sacred should that one life ever he—
That narrow span!
Day after day filled up with Wised toil,
Hour after. hour still bringing in-new spoil
•
HASTE NOT-REST NOT.
UV CoMIIB,
'Without haste, and with out rest—
tin t e mot otot ty wens ; -
Heed not flowers that round thee Bloom,
Hear it onward to the tomb.
Ponder well and know the tight,
Onward then with all thy might.
Haste not—years can neer atone
For one reckless action done. •

Do the WIGHT. Wll , lO . Pr betide.

object was robbery. 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

"Have you a husband ?"
“Yea."

“Weli, then, if ou have a husband, why
do you not live at home, instead of gad'

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. A single glance:tie
veloped the fact that there was a difficulty
in that little train of one wagon and three
persons, and that it had attained a point of

preference for the Carson road—the wile
for the Lesson—and neither .would yield.
The wife deelired she would remain there
all winter; and the husband said he should
be•pleaseil to legthen the sojourn through
the summer follo'wing.
On the morning of the fourth-day the
wife broke a sullen silence of 36 hours by
proposing a division of the prnperty,whicii
consisted of two yoke of cattle, one wag
on, camp furniture, a small quantity • of
provision, and twelve dollars in•silver.—
rile proposal was accepted, and forthwith
the .plunder' was divided, leaving the wag,.

mother. The latter exchanged with a
neighboring train the cattle belonging to
her for a puny and a park saddle, and pil

started across tt.e desert by the Lesson

cattle and took the other route.
