LILY's PILGRIMAGE IS THE NIGHT.-It was very
dark when Lily quit the world. The stars, in
glorious, silent train, were moving towards the
west, but infinite distance had shorn off their
beams, until to mortals looking upwards they
seemed like distant watcbfre on heights TO which
pilgrim souls have been journeying since the first
morning herald proclaimed the existence OF Gre
alton But dark as the night was, there came
knock at The door, and little soul, just born OF
clay. stood forth and said Here am /, thou call

We know not how it may be with Others but
with us an infant conception of Heaven still lin
gers. The place of sanctuary is upward, upward,
an eternity of miles beyond the dimmest star that
peeps, at intervals, from the ETHEREAL shrouds Of
the Invisible. Despite the multiplied pages of
philosophy, the sarcasms and sylogisms of inf
dels, that childish theology still fingers with US,
and in moments of danger or despair we have
looked upward, as the drowning swimmer grasps
at some intangible, immateral safety in the up
per air. Through that immeasurable space, up
that viewess trail, untracked by mortal feet
and upward, measurcless leagues, but within the
streng gthening vision of new born soul, Lily
behed her little playmate, Mary, sitting by the
way to rest. She had heard that her friend was
coming and had gone out to meet her, and des-
crying the fash of white wings away down close
to the silent night Of time, she had stopped to
tune her harp and plume her wings for lighter
and swifter flight back to Heaven. Then the Ev-
erlasting gates were lifted up, and the two little
pilgrims were heralded by st. Peter, 'Of such is
the kingdom of Heaven = Who will describe the
vision range of q new created angel? What i'm
agination will follow her along the resplendent
paths that lead forever beyond the throne of the
Eternal? What eye Of faith will pursue an in
fant soul, unstained by actual SIM as she goes out
to explore the limitless fields made luminous by
the sheen Of golden crowns, and vocal with the
hymns of children who worship at the judgment
seat of Christ
Beautiful and glorious is the Christians con-
cepton of Heaven. Let not Reason or Philoso-
ply seek TO destroy the fabric of his hopes Let
the first picturing of infant Imagination linger
with him until he goes down to the bottomless,
sboreless stream, whose silent waves have eat
away the little island which stood in the river
of Time.

A SETTLER ON FRAzER.-Greenhood New
bauer, bankers of this place, sent an agent to the
Frazer country TO see what the chances were for
doing business there. On Thursday evening they
received letter from him, desiring 70 be recall

of Frazer river dust since he had been at Victo-
ria. Six hundred people were trying to get
away, but the steamers lay out six miles, and left
in the night. Persons who had not means to pay
for meals and lodging were pretending to buy
property for ten, twelve and fifteen thousand dol
lars. The agent believes that those bogus spec
ulators were employed by the Steamship Compa-
ny to keep up the excitement few weeks Ion

been shipped TO Wbatcom and Victoria, and sold
Frazer dust for SIG so.

lsS- 1t is related that correspondent Of one
of the San Francisco dailies keeps an eating
house at Wbatcom, and at cooking intervals
communicates with the paper, for which he gets
a small salary. Recently man came in, preten-
ding to have come from the upper Mines and
related monstrous stories, which the cook noted
down and sent TO San Francisco the letter was
printed, and next day the steamers went out
crowded.
This is the way honest people are deceived and
