other day. She was riding fne, horse,
and her slender, graceful figure might be
cnvied by many ladies who rejoice h tho
possession of fairer conploxions. Her pams
is Miss Sallio Driver; she is said TO be quito
intelligent and has many admirers. The
most beautiful portion Of Wyandott is that
owned by an old Indian. Mr.. SplitlogL 1,
is high bluff comprising several acres Of
rich land, overlooking tho Kansas and Mis-.
souri, rivers. He is well aware Of the value
Of his property, IL sbrewd aud intelligent.
A number of fine residences arc being built
in Wyandott, and on the Lavee two splen.
did brick blocks arc in course Of erection,
five stories high; ono Of these blocks con-
tains ten store-rooms, each twenty-five by
sevcnty-fve feet, with front similar to the
building owned by DR.. ST. Clair, next to
tho postoffice in Fremont. These will bo
the finest buildings north Of st. Louis. q.
We have very pleasant ncighbors, on one
side an intelligent family. from Massachu-
setts and on the other a couple from Gin
cinnati. The wife of the Cincinnati gen
tleman was music-pupil for three years Of
Madame Rive. The other day she did
largo washing, and in tho evening heard
her voice accompanying the piano in one Of
the richest strains Of La Somnainbula.-
There are many such women here, Of cult
waited tastes and habits, who have come out
to this country toaholp their husbands mako
fair start in tho world, and they go into
the kitchen as checrfuly as they would in.
to the parlor for it is almost impossible to
obtain help, and so most of these ladies arc
nursery maids, house maids and maids of
all work; at the same time they find spare
moments enough for mnsic, reading nee
dlework, and the like. fisd 81. IS a.as
l think shall like the society of Wyanl
dott and am sure shall enjoy living here,
if the place keeps on growing as it has done.
There is considerable sickness here at pres
ent, owing, tho physicians say, to the very
wet weather they have had MI summer--a
The woods about Wyandott are beautiful,
and the tangled growth Of wild vines is per.
fectly luxuriant, forming most graceful fesl
toons from tree to tree. 1t is a very pretty
sight to see the fine steamers ploughing
their way up and down the river every day.
Since have been hero we have had some
very warm weather, but the last few days
have been the first golden, mellow days Of
early autumn, days of delicious sunshine and
soft, cool winds; and the nights are too
beautiful to describe, lit up as they are now
by the most magical moonlight, which fall
ing upon the Kansas and Missouri, makes
them to shine with lustre like that of
molten silver. One cannot help, even amid
the stern and staring realities Of pioneer
life, remembering chat the very spirit of
poetry floats on tho breath of nights like
these, and putting aside the cares of tho day,
receive again the beauty of these thougts in
to the spirits embrace: "a.

For the weary, ianguid day, 4se
When the locust cymbals beat the air. .'f..at1--
