THE MASTER HAND.
by MRS. NORTON.

by MRS. NORTON
And dost thou say my heart is cold,
Because thine eye cannot discover -t
As round its Jealous glance !, rolled
On glitering crowds) one welcome lover!
And dost thou think cannot love
Because thy suit my lips reprove?
Oh valueless the wind harp's tone,
Which, swept by summers careless breezes,
Gives forth wild, uncertain moan,
AS often as the zephyr pleases.
Who marks its faint and careless sigh?
Once heard, it hath no melody
But when the stricken Tyre, which long
Hath hung upon the wall decayiny,
Breathes out its soul Of love and song,
Obedient to the minstrel's playing,
And to its masters touch alone sef tNF
4 Responds with loud and plaintive tone.
Then, then the power Of music breaks
The spell that bound our calmer feeling,
And every slumbering passion wakes G4
lasl In answer to its wild appealing,
Till our swol'n hearts, too full for words,
Die trembling on those quiyering chords.
Years bring no change. Even tho we stand
Where cold the minstrel's form is lying,
Fancy shall sec that skiul hand
Once more among the sweet strings flying,
And music's floating notes shall come
To mock the silence Of the tomb. w1
40 And many an hour and many day
I" Shall memory please herself by bringing
Small scattered fragments of the lay
aI That hung upon that wild harp's ringing,
Though summer breeze caress in vain,
And soullcss hands awake no strain.
Even so the heart, that sad and cold, s&
Warns not beneath thy careless wooing,
Hath known loves power in days ofold, aa
And worshipped-to its own undoing; (,
And many a passion, quiet now, , g,a.
y Hath glowed upon my faded brow.
And still perchance the day may come
When, from its halls of silence taken,
That heart, in its deserted home,
To life and love and joy shall waken.
1t hath the music at command,
But thine is not the masters hand.

PRAIRIE AND MOUNTAIN LIFE.
THE OLD MAN OF THE MoUNrANs.--The
world should be made acquainted with some of the
strange characters who have buried themselves
away from civilization among the rocks of the
West. su
There is one whimsical old genius who is noted
particularly among The trapper tribe as the primes
Of queer ones. He calls himself William s.
Williams, M. r., and he is most resoutely deter
mined upon having the title G. Nj. T.'D always
affixed to his name. He is the Oldest man in the
mountains, having fully resolved to live and die
there. and more droll anecdotes are told about him
than would fill pair of volumes of modern size.
M. Z. is meant to signify Master Tropper, and
the old man has just seized upon the whm OF insist
ing that this distinguishing mark shall on all oc-
caslons and under all circumstances be attached
to his name He CHANGED at one time to fall into
a mortal quarrel with Backfoot Indian, and upon
achieving advantage, he at once seized upon the
red fellows scalp-lock.
"Bill Williams - shouted the Indian, whose
knowledge in English, consisted in the capa-
city of pronouncing this singular old white mans
name.
.Willam S. Williams, M. IT, if you please"
said the old man of the mountains, as he coolly
darted the point of his knife around the scap-lock

that he was never any where else, but It is re-
nen,bered that he was once Methodist preach
err in the States, and it is known that he is ed
ucated man, with critical knowledge OF Greek
and Lain BY his own words, he was rolled
out of a thunder storm in the mountains" for he
found himself there and don't remember anything
else He is quite certain he is not human, ana
has \ strong per suasion that he was "translaied
from the Great Bear, or some other luminous ce-
es,ial ANIMAL for some most particular and espe-
cial purpose that is meant to be made known to
him hereafter"
He was never known TO wear hat, but once
in the winter finding his head cold, he shot
wolf scalped the animal, and drew the warm
skin on to his own head For all such eccentric
th;nos this old man is remarkable, but, perhaps,
the sinrularity of his character may be better
shown by relating an odd meeting that he once
had with young fellow fresh from the States.
Williams was camping alone when the young
man accid ntally encountered him.
"Hupai' said the old man IN soiloGuy, here
