RAILWAY COMMUNICATION WITH THE NORTH OF SCOT.
LAND.—It will no doubt be interesting to the travelling
public, full to lessees of grouse and deer shootings, to
know that, with the exception of 13 miles (between
Elgin and Keith), there is now unbroken railway com-
munication between London and Inverness. The last
finished portion of the Inverness and Aberdeen Junc-
tion (the p leion between Dalvey and Elgin) is now
open, and there can be no doubt that by she 12th Aug.
the entire line will be in working operation; after which
period. the mails leaving London at 8 p.m., will arrive
at the Highland capital about the same hour on the fol-
lowing evening. The only engineering difficulty, it may
be mentioned, in the portion of the line unfinished is the
bri lge over the Spey, which is proceeding satisfac-
torily.
YOUNG LADIES.—One of the great social evils of this
age is admitted to be the reluctance of our young men
to early marriages. They won't marry now, we are told,
as they used to do, and ought to do, on 3001. a-year.
Depend upon it, in many and many a case it is not the
odd hundred or two that is wanting—it's the attraction.
We have lost that joyous and familiar intercourse be-
tween neighbours' families, where young people's indivi-
dualities had space and opportunity to develops them.
selves, and heart met heart. Our modish Cupid has
overstrung his bow—his arrows don't hit home. Young
ladies hide away the key of their hearts so carefully that
nobody thinks it worth looking for. Who is to choose
" the one" out of a bevy of proper-behaved damsels like
a row of hollyhocks, differing only in height and shape
and colour l Tuey all look alike, dross alike, talk alike,
and walk alike ; and, for anything that appears to the
contrary, think alike and feel alike. Why, such a choice
is an act of deliberate intention—matrimony pre-
pense ; few men have the nerve to venture upon it. No
wonder they calculate the probable butchers' and
bakers' bill before they take such a plunge as that.
Don't fancy that I talk like a cynical old bird, not to be
caught with chaff. I take as the exponent of what my
own feelings would be if I were young, and open as I
once was to the conviction of bright eyes, my nephew,

Oti the following morning they started for their horses,
which had been turned out on the previous night, when
one of them made off, and his owner when last seen was
in pursuit. Not returning in the course of the day, his
mate and a black fellow started in quest of him, and
although they emote upon the tracks, both of man and
horse, they did not succeed in coming up with either.
On the following miming two black fellows started upon
the track, which they fAlowed up a distance of 10 mile.
in the direction of the Lachlan, observing as they passed
along that in some places the imprint of his feet were
clearly discernible, whilst in others they disappeared,
those of the horse alone being seen, from which circum-
stances it was evident that he had overtaken his animal
and occasionally mounted him. After beating about
until completely wearied, they came upon the horse,
but saw nothing of the missing man, whose only chance
of safety consisted in his making for the Lachlan—a dile
tance of about 20 miles from the spot where the horse
was found ; but as there is not a drink of water in the
intervening country, it is much to be feared that he has
perished. When he started away he had upon his per-
son from 3001. to 4001. in notes, which he intended to
lay out in stock. It will be recollected that it was in
the came fearfully arid country that Mr. Stewart lost
h's life some seven or eight years ago, from thirst—a
fate which in all probability has overtaken the unfor•
tunate stranger,—Sydney Empire,
