IM.ss Go.

A common word, and yet how full Of
meaning! The school bell is ringing
says the innocent little prattler at
play-I must 60. The hour of labor
has come-says the man Of toil-and
l must go. A dying parishioner has
sent fot me-says clergyman-and l
must 60.
Another weary, cheerless thankless
day, calls me to the sanctum-says the
editor--and I must go! / tave a
weighty case at hand to-day, demand
ing all my time and attention-says the
lawyer-and / must go!-as if the
universal motto of the age is heard,
echoed and re-echoed on every side,
by old and young, high and low, rich
and poor, happy and miserable.
All must 60, all are going, and yet
the restless, heaving, surging tide OF
humanity is never gone. We might,
perhaps, introduce this expressive
phrase into scenes Of greater length
and of more than ordinary interest (;
but having other thoughts and other
duties to look after, we too, must go," !"
and be content with sketching one or
two.
"'Tis getting late," says the lover to
the loved one, and l must go, must bid
farewell for q time, to those charmed,
blissful hours, once more to mingle In
the cares and perplexities of the busy
world. Then clasping her fondly to
his bosom, and passionately pressing
those sweet lips to his own, he is gone,
till those happy days may return, or
perchance, till he may lead the gentle
charmer of his life, willing captive to
the hymenial alter.
One short year rolls around, and oh
how changed the scene. Again as
then, it is night. A wan, pale being,
of emaciated and fragile form is lying
on her dying couch. The long, weary
days and nights have passed away
Her hours Of anguish are no more
The insiduous destroyer has done hi
work. Friends near and dear art
around her-a tender husband bends
over her-but these cannot arrest thu
hands of disease, or postpone the part
ing hour. "Hark!'' the angels arr
whispering come come and " must

earth shall come, may you hear the
welcoming of whispering angels, ant
like her respond, 81 must go!"

use When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues arc known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections OF the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the

Mr.. Greeley was detained at this establishment
several days on account Of lame leg, and thus
describes the House:
The Denver House," which is the Astor
House OF the Gold Region, has walls of LOGS. a
floor of earth with windows and roof of rather

Montreaux, in Switzerland, gives the following
account Of the agriculture Of that region.
" A romantic little village, full of old houses,
with It's gray stone chulch, is perched on the
sido OF the mountain, one or two hundred feet
above my head.
The people here seem contented and happy

A Story as is a Story.

The reader is expected to believe the following
story in every particular:
| When young man, was travelling in west.
ern New York, and late of stormy night ap.
piled at log cabin for lodging. The occupant.
woman refused it, saying her husband and
SONS were out hunting, and if they found me
'nere would murder me. Iprefered the chance
10 the storm and she consented that might lie
down before the fire. In the night heard them
coming, and scrambled up the chimney. Think.
ing was safe, when at the top, stepped over
the roof, and jumping down at the back of the
cabin, struck plump into a wolf trap. A scream
of pain from me brought the men and boys out.
and they declared deserved much more a.
we're punishment than death, so they kept me
both in the trap and suspense until morning,
and then headed me up in a hogshead with no
light or air, but the bunghole; they put me on
sled, drove me some four miles up a hill, and
then rolled me off to starve. This 1 undoubt-
edly should have done, but for a very singular
occurrence. The wolves smelled me out and
gathered around my prison, when one of them
IN turning around, happened to thrust his tail
into the bung hole 1t was my only chance.-
caught firm hold and held on like death to
Niger which frightened the WOLF of course,
and he started down the hill followed by the
hogshead and me. 1t was very uneasy ride
over the stones and stumps; but had no idea
how long it was, until the hogshead striking q
stone fairly, the slaves, worn by long travel,
were broken in, and l jumped out and found
myself way down in the lower end of Cat.ara-
gus county, some thirty miles from the scene Of
the disaster.

In this class of persons, a religion is mere
form of discomfort. They have no other reason
to give, for the faith is not in them. They like
to aScribe their want of success in life to some

would be Socialists and ROugeS; in this country
where the better classes only have any reason

themselves on their exemption from prejudice.
