Our MOTHER Thank Heaven for
pious mother She has been our safe
guard in trial, our comfort in affliction,
and our guide in prosperity. No earthly
influence can contribute so much to mould
our moral character as those gentle words
from mothers lips, which entered into
the stature of our soul, and will no doubt
live with it forever No earthly name
has sweeter, dearer sound than the
name of mother. Deprive us of all other
friends, take from us all other comforts,
life itself, and the trial would not be half
so great as the loss of our pious mother
Her example and influence are more val
liable than world of wealth, and that
she may live long to advise and counsel
us Is our most earnest prayer And how
we pity those little boys and girls, those
young ladies and gentlemen, whose hearts
must echo that sad sentence, "My moth
er is dead !" How we pity those home
less wanderers in a cold and heartless
world, who have no fond mothers voice
to soothe and sustain them in the gloomy
night of sorrow.

EARLY MARRIED.-She stood beside
the altar when she was but sixteen. She
was in love; her destiny rested on crea-
ture as delicate, and who had known as
little of the world as herself She looked
lovely as she pronounced the Think
of a VOW from Auburn hair, and pouting
lips only sixteen years old. She stood by
the wash-tub when her twenty fifth birth
day arrived. The hair, the lips, the eyes
were not calculated to excite the heart.
Five cross young ones were about the
house crying-some breaking things, and
one urging the necessity of an immedi-
ate supply of food She stopped in de-
spair, sat down, and tears trickled down
her once plump and ruddy cheek. Alas!
early marriages are not the dodge. Bet
ter enjoy youth at home, and hold lovers
at proper distance until you have mus
Gle, limb and heart enough to face
frowning world and family If chap
really cares for you he can wait two or
three years, make presents, take you to
concerts; and so on until the time comes.
Early marriages and early cabbages are
tender productions.

divided into no one knows how many
shares, with limited liability. The affair
will be magnifcently puffed, the shares
sold, the original contractors will quietly
slip out after pocketing some half amillion
or SO; the newly organized Company will
fall through from its own dead weight,
and no "semi-weekly overland mail' will
be carried at all. At least this is the
opinion of practical STAGEMAN.

THE BLESSED HoME-Home! To
be at home is the wish of the seaman on
stormy seas and lonely watch. Home is
the wish of the soldier, and tender Wis
ions mingle with the troubled dreams of
trench and tented field Where the palm
tree waves its graceful plumes, and birds
of jeweled lustre flash and flicker among
gorgeous flowers, the exile sits staring
upon vacancy; far-away home flies upon
a heart; and borne upon the wings of
fancy, over Intervening seas and lands, he
has swept away to home, and hears the
lark singing above his fathers fields, and
sees his fair-haired boy-brother, with
light feet and childhood's glee, chasing
the butterfly by his native stream. ..f.
And in his best hours, home, his own
siuless home, home with his father
above that starry sky, will be the wish of
every Christian man. He looks around
him; the world is full of suffering; he
is distressed by its sorrows and vexed by
its sins He looks within him, he finds
much in his own corruption to grieve for.
In the language of heart repelled, grie-
we'd, vcxed, he often turns his eye up
ward, saying, ~ would not live here al
ways no, not for all the gold of the
worlds mines; not for all the pearls of
the sea not for all the pleasures of her
hashy frothy cup; not for all the crowns
of her Kingdoms, would l live here al
ways" Like bird about to migrate to
those sunny lands where no winter sheds
her SHOWS, or strips the grove or binds
the dancing streams, he will often, in
spirit, be pluming his wing for the hour
of his fight to glory.-Guttrie.

two hundred miles to the eastward. The noun
tain ranges protect the country lying along their
base. On the open plains the snow falls deeper
and lies longer, and the winter climate is usually
much more severe. On the 10th of December,
and near the mountain SUBMITS, the weather
was mild and pleasant, and, except in the deep
mountain ravines, the country was entirely free
from snow.
"On both sides OF the valley, bordering ridges
afford every facility for easy development into
the pass, which, at its summit on the narrow
backbone of the ridge, is nine thousand four
hundred feet above the sea. On the western
side the descent is very abrupt to the Del Norte
waters, at an elevation of eight hundred feet
At this place, and about this elevation, tunnel
through the ridge would be about thousand
yards in length. The development of the line
would probably increase the distance from the
Arkansas perhaps ten miles, and the resulting
railway distance from the mouth of the Huer-
fano to this point would be about one hundred
and thirty-tve miles, upon an average grade of
thirty-four feet to the mile
From the Utah Pass to that of the Cochetope.
the distance is a little over one hundred miles.

the approach to the Cochetope Pass in the main
Rocky Mountain range. ~
From the San Luis valley to the immediate
foot of the pass, at an elevation of nine Thousand
eight hundred and twenty feet, the distance is
about forty miles, and the average grade ffty-five
feet to the mile. From this point tunnel of
two thousand yards would carry the line to a
corresponding elevation on the western side of
the mountain, three hundred and fifty feet below
the summit, and near to which our camp was
pitched on the i4th December. Upon this day
the snow In the pass, newly fallen, was four
lncnes deep, and winter began regularly in the

nothing to remind the traveller that he was an

Delay will not prevent its settlement,
nor benefit the South" There is some
thing peculiar and significant in this itera-
ton of the same idea. He adds:
at is deeply to the interest, therefore of South
Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Arkansas, If
they aoould protect and increase the trade af the
principal commercial cities, that the Charleston
and Memphis railroad shall be extended directly
west to Albuquerque, and then to San Francis
co."
1t IS to "protect and increase the trade
Of the principal commercial cities" of the
South that this central route is advocated.
And again he asserts:
"But Virginia cannot reasonably be asked to go
four hundred miles too far south, when good
pass and better route can be had, three de-
grees of latitude to the north of il, and, Also
when the more convenient and shorter route
will open up to settlement a country of an i'm

sible to over-estimate-a country large enough

State, Connecticut, and his adopted State,
Missouri, / can readily understand the
importance to the South of making two

There have been numerous arrivals of vessels this

since Saturday morning twenty-five vessels via the
New Basin and Canal, and thirtyeght steamboats,,
all crowded with freight. 1t is worth while for some
of our hermitdsposed citizens to take walk on the

good loads Of both passengers and freight manage to
