this city, that no one stops to heed them.
The mas Of New Yorkess do not even
pause to consider the sgonies Of mind
and heart Of those 20 suddenly bereav-
ed, but continue on 10 their never.end-
ing rush for gold. Thus day by day the
papers are filed with accounts Of TRACE
dies in some portion Of the city. They
are read. the paper thrown one eide. aud
all thoughts Of the deed forgotten, unless
some one who is known to fame or .
possessor OF wealth 10 the victim, no one
stops to pay even . passing tribute to
the dead. Their own little circle is left
to weep alone and shed their tears, with
nearly million around them, and yet
unheeded. A short time since a person
who has been active in our government
affairs, and known as famous Indian
Agent, fell a victim to the destroyer
of all. Having lost his fortune
by some unlucky turn OF that great
wheel, he was living a quiet life 10 this
CITY. unknown to but small circle OF
friends. Had he breathcd his last when
in possession of his wealth, none would
have been too great to have done him
homage, but now his remains were
trotted of to their final resting place
unceremoniously Such is life in New
York. The two extremes are plainly
exhibited here.
Amongst the many interesting books
recently issued from the press, is the life
of Kit Carson, published by w. Il. c.
Clark & Co., Walker street. A book oil
over 500 pages, and illustrated by nu-
merous cngravings. The work is com.
piled by DR.. d. c. Peters, surgeon of the
United States army, who has written the
incident, in the wonderful exploits Of
this Rocky Mountain adventurer as mar
rated by the famed Kit Carson himself
The details of the wild adventures in the
western wilds, as guide to Fremont Of
otherwise, have been graphically writ
ten by the Doctor pen, and the descrip
ton of the bold and daring buffalo
hunts, his hairbreadth escapes from the
monarch of the forest, the Rocky Noun
tain bear, and hand to hand fights with
the Indians. All will be read with grea
interest, and cannot fail to make the
work an attractive one. Kit Carson for
long time, traversed the unknown re
gion of the Rocky Mountains. TIL,
reader of this volume will become intim
atey acquainted with that "far west. ,
A few years from now the exploits o
our early trapprs Of the frontier will be
sought after with as much interest a.
are now the incidents Of the revolution
and the account Of their adventures
handed down to posterity as importan
| events in our early history. No person
can really understand the nerve aud de
termination, always defending the RICH,
regardless of the result, that character
lied our forefathers, without reading O
the bold deeds, and the school in which
such men as Carson we're trained.
We are having decidedly fine wealth
er, the most charming Indian summer
weather. The beautiful tinge upon thu
leaves about the parks reminds ONT
| that
"There is time just when tho frost
Prepares to pave old winters way,
That autumn, is in q reverie lost,
And mellow day-ti dreams away"
