Characteristic Conduct.

Capt Jack Wilson Of the Inflated Lady
Elgin, wore his heart like a true sailor, on
the outside. His body has been recover
ed, and the noble officer .perished in eff
forts to save others:
One. of the persons saved from apiece OF
wreck on which Capt, Wilson floated,
says, just as they reached the breakers
and we're being broke up, the Captain saw
a woman and two children ON detached
piece and in imineut danger, at once lef:
The piece on which he was, swan to the
other; and held the children in his arms
till other portions of the wreck struck him
and swept all under ard out OF sight The
surf was terrible, and breaking up every
thing that cam into it, and here it was
that more than wothirds Of the lives ol
those that foated from the vessel were
lost!

"Virginia City is large enough to house and tent
some 5000 people There are several stone build

are of cloth. No great business rush is percep-
tlble general attention is turned now to the
mines. in possession and prospective rather than
to business beyond the obtaining the necessares
OF life. 1t appears to be vast camp, more than
permanent place Of commerce, which it will
ultimately become as men recover their reason
and apply the developing influences of labor and
capital. At present great many are too rich
in imagination, to wOrk-toO intent on specula-
tion in snppoSitious wealth. Specializing in
claims seems to be the main business hut that

found upon his table beautiful wreath of flow
ers, and here is his acknowledgment of the odor
exhaling gift
Upon our desk crimson rose,
In modest beauty lay,
And waited to our grateful nose,
The scent of gardens gay.
What plying heart, we said, and sighed,
For us hath had this care 4?
An answering voice behind us cried,
"Our devil threw it there"
Thus oft we find in human life,
The good is mixed with evil,
And acts we deem with virtue rif
Are bats thrown by the devil

THE SECLuSION OF THE SOUL-Who is so un-
thinking not TO be sometimes impressed with
that great mystery of our spiritual being, its
utter isolation from an all surrounding universe
How perfect the seclusion in which every indi-
Nidnal finite soul dwells apart from every other?
We do, indeed, hold an imperfect intercourse by
teegIaphic signals passing through matter but
walls Of edamant conld not more etfectually
separate MS from direct spiritual communing than
The state in which God has created us. There is
something impressively solemn In this deep
secluson, this everlasting loneliness. No other
FOUL knows us no other finite spiritual eye has
ever seen us the nearest friend has only inferred
our existence; like the natural belief in a God,
"Onr Invisible things are understood from the
thlngs that are SEEM" even our inward power
and humanity. The thought is sometimes our
pride it places in such gloomy grandeur each
souls lnviOlabe individuality. 1t may also give
rise TO feeling tinged with melancholy. o!
could another know us, as we sometimes led
TO eXcIam, just as we know ourselves, we would
be willing even that he should know our sins :;
could he also feel and know to the fullest extent
all the palliations TO which they are entitled in
human eyes.
There is one soul that knows us, personally,
Intimately thoroughly-kDOws us not by media,
hy signals, outward or interior, not by induction
from effects. or free knowledge from causes, but
hy direct and immediate presence by more than
presence, even by pervadng, inter pene-
tratng spirit; not only by an occasional or
partial beholding, but by an unintermtted
knowledge of our all, our sense, our memory,
our intelligence, our consciousness, even when
least sensible least known, least conscious to
ourselves. "Thou hast possessed my reins thou
knowest my thoughts when awake | am still
with thee And then to think this soul thus
prrvading all other souls forming the universal
medium, II we may nse term so much profaned
of all spiritual exIstences, and yet losing nothing
of that distinct personality which it presents to
each. not impairing in the least that distinct in
dvdualty with which every finite spirit stands
before the infinite There is in such view all
that the highest philosophy can demand, and yet
all that meets our lowliest human thought our
deepest human sympathy Taylor Leeis.

From California I'm Fen Days.

The wonderful feat of transmitting intelli-
g"ncc from the Pacific to the Atlantic dis
lance IF 800 miles, has been accomplished
The pony express that left California with San
Francisco dates of the Sd inst, last Tuesday
well arrived at ST. Joseph yesterday after
noon AT half-past five. II brought tlrelUe dIys
Utter ne,cs from California, which, however. ow-
i X to the arrangement of the teleg aph wires
between St. Joseph and ST. Louis, was not
sent forward.
This truly marvellous achievement is the
work o. flesh and blood. and not the result of
a cunning scientific combination of philosoph-
Teal f rces. II was accomplished by horses
and riders, speeding like the wind over the 81
lent Plains, through gloomy canons and
frowning forests, and over the mountains.
As one rider with his steed tired, another
snaIcbed the treasured package, and bore it
onward. until, like the battle call of the
Highland clan, it arrived safely at its desti-
nation. How the savage Sioux must have
wondered as they beheld the lonely horseman
II eing like a phantom across their hunting
grounds, breasting torrents, and climbing
from crag to crag, on his furious mission.
All honor TO the Ponies aud their riders!-.St.
