Sunday in Religious Switzerland.


1t thappened to me once to be wandering
with some companions through the highly
orthodox Canton of Vaud on Sunday af-
ternoon. If the reader turn up the whites
of his eyes, I tell him he has no right to
presume that my journey was not one of
necessity and mercy. We selected for our
nights resting place a small house of en-
tertainment-the equivalent of the village
ale-house at home. 1t was crammed to the
throat with the Protestant peasantry of the
district, smoking, drinking, and recreating
themselves with billiards and other house
games-a strange preference, l thought it,
to outdoor sauntering in that sultry eve
ming, but that was their affair DESTROYS
to walk in the cool of the morning to Yver-
den, we asked if breakfast could be pre-
pared for us so early as four o'clock. The
good woman of the house-a model of
clean respectability and civility-bade us
observe that it was Sunday evening, and
that in consequence, she would be engaged
with her guests until late hour, with
which early rising would be incompati-
BILE. But she would do her best for US
Breakfast would be made ready for us; we
would find it in the guest-chamber, and we
could rise and proceed as we thought fit.
So we paid our bill before going to bed
Through my sleep heard the click of the
billiard balls far on in the night. When
we rose we found silence everywhere, and
a comfortable breakfast awaiting us, and so
sailed forth in the fresh morning air,
through the dewy fields and woods, reflect
ing pleasantly on that primitive simplicity
and on the faith of mankind which prompt
ed our hostess thus to deal with set of
travel-worn strangers of uncouth speech
and queer manners, and that, too, in the
district where the British tourist was an
unknown phenomenon. have sometimes
doubted if the concentrated force of all
Forbes Mackenzyism and teetoalism will
ever produce a like faith that knows no
guile among our own pubhcans.
The incident became, by the way, oddly
mixed up in my mind with an anecdote
current at the time, relating to visit by
an eminent pastor of this same Canton de
Vaud, to a distinguished Presbyterian di-
vine in Edinburgh. Rising, according to
the custom of his district, about six o'clock
on a Sunday morning, and wandering
through :he deserted rooms, he found in
one of them piano, whereat he sat down,
and was enabled to solace himself for some
minutes with the performance of the

My Pet that Was.
BY WILLIAM WINTER.

Slow, stealing through the twilight haze
cloud of slumber drOppeth DER me;
dream tonight of other days
As many fool has done before me,
And from the crowd of phantoms there,
One sweet pale face looks out above me
Alas, the flower ! used to wear
Alas the heart that used to love me.
Your eyes were gray when last we met
l wonder if they're any grayer
l used to pray to them, my pet
But now Pm nothing of a prayer.
Your voice think was very sweet
'Two1ld sound to-nighta great deal sweeter
And ah, the hours were very feet,
Told gently off by Loves repeater.
Your heart was very true, my pet,
| cannot say that mine was truer;
For | who used to WOO, forget
Sometimes that e'er I've been a wOoer,
But you forgot your vow, my pet,
Even in the moment when you gave it
So it were idle to regret
The sorry chance that did not save it.
I think never saw you sad
They tell me that you still are merry;
With eyes that sparkle gay and glad,
And lips that have the tint of cherry
That all your pretty, winning ways,
So arch and wayward, wild and willful,
Remain as in the golden days
Except that you are grown more skillful.
Fade, gentle vision, from my sight
do not trust, do not doubt you
But l am happier far tonight,
My darling little pet without youl
l warrant me you have no lack
Of lovers new to teaz5 and worry
So could | call the old days back,
I wouldn't do it in a hurry.

A STEAMBOAT VOYAGE OF NINE THOU
SAND MILEs.-The steamboat Shreveport,
arrived at St. Louis on the 26th Septem-
Der, having successfully terminated a trip
to the head waters of the Missouri River,
to convey company of gold seekers as
near as possible to certain reported fields
of the auriferous metal She sailed from
St. Louis the 3Oth of last April The
first part Of her performance was run Of
three thousand three hundred miles, to
Fort La Barge, a recently created post
She returned to near Omaha, two thousand
miles more then back to the mouth of
Milk river, sixteen hundred miles, and con-
cluded her cruise by a twenty-five hundred
mile trip to her original starting point-St.
Louis. Thus it will be seen that during
this cruise the Shreveport ran the extraOr-
binary number of nine thousand four hun
dred miles. Her last stopping place was
named Fort La Barge after her Captain,
who reports that those who have visited
Deer Lodge, and prospected circuit of
two hundred miles around Fort La Barge,
state the prospects good, and that the pur
suit Of gold will pay.-AHa California.
