ate neighbors, the Sioux and the Chippewas,
who live some two hundred miles north, is un.
abated and during the past week, broken out
anew. The Siouxs have just now killed two

menced over the endorsing of certain note,

a job which the others had left in consequence
of the cutting down of the rates of pay. Ayl.
ward told Conner he was a mean man or he
would have left the work, or words to that eff
feet. Conner replied that he was as good
as Awkward. Awkward said that he was old
enough TO whip him, and the two men lmme
dately clinched each other. Mckinney seized
hold of Conner, and Aylward drew his knife
and stabbed him in the side under the ribs in
ficting a mortal wound. Mr.. Martin, also,

pears to have been worked inside of the body

i have been married seven weeks. y = =
do not rave in girlish fashion about nv
perfect hapliness-I do not even say |
love my husband. Such words imply a
separate existence-a gift consciously be-
slowed on one being from another-I feel
not thus: my husband is to me as my
own soul.
Long, very long, it is since | first knew
this. Gradually, not suddenly, the great
mystery Of love overshadowed me, until
at last found out the truth, that / was
my own no more. All the worlds beauty
saw through his eyes-all the worlds
goodness and greatness came reflected
through his noble heart. In his presence
j was as q child: forgot myself, my own
existence, hopes and aims. Every where

was upon me. lie seemed to absorb and
inhale my whole soul into his, until l be-
came like cloud melting away in sun
shine, and vanishing from the face of
heaven.
All this reads very well and mad; but,
oh! Laurence-Laurence! none would
marvel at it who had once looked on thee!
Not that he is a perfect Apolo-this wor-
shipped husband Of mine; you may meet

Not IL All that is grand, all that is beau
titul, all that makes man look godlike

soul--I see in my Laurence. His ewes,
soft, yet proud-his wavy hair-his hand
that sit and clasp-his strong arm that
l lean on-all compose an image wherein
see no flaw. Nay, could scarce believe
in any beauty that bore no likeness 20
