Snow STORM IN ILL1NoIs.-There was
a terrible snow storm last week upon the
Chicago and Mississippi railroad. The
St. Louis hatelligencer of the 18th ultimo
says:
Passengers who left Chicago Wednes-
day by the morning train arrived in this
city, Sunday. after innumerable hard
ships, and narrow escape from freezing or
starving. The train was stopped near
the center of Grand Prairie at 9 O'Clock
A. M. Thursday, by formidable snow
drift, and for thirty-s hours not the least
progress could be made. During that
time intense suffering was indured by
about one hundred and fifty persons, and
with little or nothing to eat Clogged
and surrounded in the midst of snow,
their situation can be imagined better than
described. However, by shovelling and
digging through the entertainments, the
train finally arrived at Bloomington, Fri
day noon, and from that point to this city
the journey was comparatively an easy
one.
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1854-02-02

i. HUMAN LIFE. All! this beautiful world.
Indeed, I know not what to make Of it.
Sometimes it is all gladness and sunshine,
and Heaven is not far off. And then it
changes suddenly, and it is dark and sor-
rowful, and the clouds shut out the sky.
In the lives of the saddest of us there are
bright days like this, when we feel as if
we could take this great world in our
arms. Then comes the gloomy hours,
when the fire will neither burn in our
hearts, or on our hearts, and all without
and within is dismal, cold and dark. Be-
lieve, every heart has its secret sorrows,
which the world knows not; and often
times we call man cold, when he is only
sad.-Longfezlow's Prose.
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1854-02-02

MISCELLANEOUS READING.--Professor
Dugald Steward remarked more than for
ty years ago, in his Philosophy of the
Human Mind, that nothing tended SO
greatly to weaken all the general faculties
of the human intellect as habit of mis-
cellaneous reading without reflection. -
The celebrated English metaphysician,
Hobbies, who lived fifty years before
Stewart, used to say that ''if he had read
as many books as his contemporaries had
read, he should have been as ignorant
and as stupid as they were." This re-
mark, how much soeyer it may SAVIOR OF
vanity, hints at a great truth, which is,
that the sharpness and strength of the
mental faculties depend more on certain
sort of discipline than ON books. Those
men who have, in all ages, been most dis
tinguished for talent, have generally had
the So called misfortune, in their early
days, of being confined to very few vol
umes.---B Beverly Citizen.
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1854-02-02

How DOES He Cur UP.--I shall never
forget how this struck me, when, some
years ago, I heard it applied to the settle
ment of rich mans estate. 1t was not,
how much was he worth, how many
thousand has he left to his heirs, but, how
does he cut up? AS if he had been nc
more than a stalled fat OK, about whose
weight there had been different estimates
before he was slaughtered and brought to
the block, and his tallow taken out. And
what comparison would be more appro-
pirate, where men have devoted all their
lives and power to making money, from
supreme love of it, to the neglect of every
higher interest?
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1854-02-02

The POSER PosED.-In jolly com
pany, each one was to ask question; if it
was answered, he paid forfeit; or if he
could not answer it himself, he paid for
felt. Pats question was, GLOW the little
ground squirrel digs hishole withoutshow-
ing any dirt about the entrance?' When
they all gave up. Pat said, "Sure do you
see, he begins at the other end of the hole. .
One of the rest exclaimed, ''But how does
he get there?" "Ah!" said Pat" "that's
your question--can you answer it your.
self?''
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1854-02-02
More than was Expected.

More than was Expected.
On Tuesday afternoon, say about 5
o'clock, woman clad intolerably good
apparel applied to Capt. Hiram Hawley,
of the steamer Europa, for passage to New
Orleans. Capt, H., with that politeness
that has always characterised the man and
the officer, escorted the woman on board
of his boat; but as he was about to ascend
the stairs in order to show her to the la
dies cabin, she stopped him.
"What is your wish?" said the gallant
Captain.
II do not wish to go up there, sir: 1
must take deck passage.
ooh no, Madam, a lady of your ap-
pearance certainly would not choose the
deck to the cabin
cit is not from choice, my dear sir, but
from necessity"
"Don't mention that, Madam; you will
find the comforts of the cabin 50 much su
peTiOT TO Inc - ... x - @rs.--
The woman tainted before the Captain
had time to finish the sentence, and she
would have fallen but for the Captain S
timely assistance. Here was predica-
ment for Hiram! Whatcould he do? The
woman was evidently taken suddenly i'll,
she was on his boat and of course it was
his duty to see that she was taken care Of
He called one of his men, who assisted
him in putting her into the ladies' cabin,
where she received and was given in care
of the chambermaid, with the charge to
see to her wants.
In about half an hour afterwards, as
Captain Hawley was bargaining with a
gentleman to take his family to New Or
leans, the chambermaid came running to
him, with wonder and tribulation depicted
upon her cast-iron features, and as soon as
within speaking distance, half out of
breath, she commenced: e
ooh Captain, that womanp' E La
a''Well, what is the matter, Mary?"
"That woman, sir-oh, my gracious!'
"What is the matter, say? She is not
dead, is she?''
ooh, no, sir, worse than that, who
could have believed it?' #
"Mary, you are fool; where is she?
I'll go and see what has happened my
selfr'
"You can't sir! you can't, for she has
just been delivered Of three babies, sir-a
boy and twoo girls!'' @
That was not exactly s'ten strike, -
but it acted as such upon the Captain IS
nerves. A bachelor with woman and
three children on his hands, on his boat,
and the boat about to start for New Or
leans. Here was pickle. lie consulted
with some of his friends, who advised him
to send the whole party to the hospital,
but before he took measures to do it, the
husband of the woman came, claimed her
and took them all away. The Captain
says that he shall be careful how he vastes
his politeness upon women hereafter; but
he suggested to the father of the little new
corners that one of the girls be named Eu-
ropa Hawley, the other Hawley Europa,
and the boy James Isham Fisher, which
was agreed to at once Cincinnati En-
