HOW I TRIUhIPEED.

My mother was very angry to hear l
had broken off with George Lyttleton.
[ had several admirers in Barnford, but
we elected him because he could offer
me the best home his father, thriv-
ing solicitor, having promised to take
him into partnership on our marriage.
We lived in a cottage on the outskirts
of the town, and to give up the oppor-
tunity of exchanging this for one of the
finest houses in Barnford seemed to my
mother a madness.
Your flirting and coquetting have
driven him frantic she said the morn
ing after the quarrel but l believe
the game is in your own hands yet.
He will come again, and let this affair
be warning to you 1T shall be a
warning to me to have nothing to do
with him, replied. l will have none
of this romance rejoined my mother
L insist that you receive him when be
comes as if nothing had happened, or,
at least meet him half way you ask
the sacrifice of my life, MOTHER 1 re-
turned, goaded into revolt TO George
Lyttleton l can never be reconciled.
He is not only tyrannical, but spiteful,
and in marrying him l should marry
misery
Here We heard the we'll known knock
at the door, Now, Alice, you have
had your heroics, and you know what
you have to do said my mother in her
sternest tone. She had scarcely spoken
when George came in. l never raised
my eyes, but | knew that he looked
haggard, and he made no response to
my mothers smiles. Il suppose you
know all about this affair, Mrs. Sey-
mour?' he said, after an uncomfortable
pause. 'What affair p replied my
mother. Il know Alice has been NUT
tering about something, but 1 never
pay attention to lovers quarrels. "
We'll wanted nothing unreasonable.
She is engaged to ME, and l thought
she ought to dance with me and nobody
else but last night, at Mrs. Bulmer's,
she danced with anybody but me. And
| acknowledge l spoke strongly about
it. But 1 am willing to overlook it
now, and go on as before.
My mother laughed. That is the
way to settle differences she said, $50
shall leave you to kiss and be friends.
But | caught her arm. Stay, mother,
| said resolutely, 4 want you to hear
me say that l shall never be friends
with Mr.. Lyttleton again-that 1 con.
temn and despise him, and wonder
could ever have engaged myself to him
My mother knew that these words were
decisive, and her eye lighted on mine
with a look that, though it did not
shake my purpose, made my heart quail
At the same moment George started
from his chair, with a constrained
laugh. Il tell you what it is ? he cried

THE JOYS OF OLD MAIDS HALL

o, weave no wedding wreath for me,
But make good strong cup of tea.
Connubial joys are all too slight;
In these could not take delight.
An easy chair, book to read,
A poodle white is all need.
Then weave no wedding wreath for me,
But put the kettle on for tea.
Let foolish girls delight in beaux,
Moustaches black and broadcloth clothes
Bright boots of patent leather sheen,
And starched cravats, blue, pink and green
One fig Priscilla wouldn't give
For any ''feller' that doth live.
Then weave no wedding wreath for me,
But put the kettle on for tea.
Then let the servant girls prepare
A supper good with heedful care,
And steep the aromatic leaves
From China brought Gas she believes.)
Then shall my laugh my triumph tell,
And when hear the supper bell,
I'll cry no wedding wreath for me,
But come and take cup of tea.

The Perils of the Colorado Desert.


Mr.. Levi Murphy, an old resident Of
San Francisco, who arrived here from
Williams Fork, Arizona, on Monday.
gives US the particulars of the death of a
young man from San Francisco, by thirst

towards San Bernardino, sometime during
the following night. ... -.

twenty years, and that be deserted from

to get water at Mule Springs, twenty five
miles east of Chucolwalla, but did not fnd
a drop. They stayed, however, over
night at that point, hoping to strike water
by. digging after daylight On Monday
morning. Not succeeding, however, they
started on ; about nine o'clock the young
man gave out and laid down under tree.
Murphy gave him al the water he had =,
and told him to remain quiet where be
was, and if he succeeded in reaching Chu-
colwalla be would send an Indian back
with water for him. rt
Murphy then started on but soon fell
down GU the road from exhaustion, after
having thrown away his blankets, boots
AID everything else which encum bered
his progress. He managed to crawl un-
der tree, from which he made numer.
Gus unsuccessful efforts to get a fresh start
before night, the sun causing him to faint
every time.
At length the cool of night came on
and raised bis strength to such an extent
that he was able to move along the road

miles. Murphy then sent an Iudian back
with two canteens Of water to the spot
where be had left his companion. The
Indian went back to the place and found
that the poor fellow had in his dcIirium

towards LA Paz, going directly away from
the water. The Indian followed the trail
for eight miles and then returned to Chu-

sent out found the body of the uufortu.

from the Colorado River. Had he remained

of which be had two pairs-and all his
other traps to the last. To dying he had
made his bed as if for sleeping, and was
found lying with his head pillowed on one
Of tho blankets which he had rolled up
for the purpose. What little money he
had was found in bis shoe. As he stated
that be was Catholic, Mr.. Thomas
Matthews, who found the body and buried
it on mesa by the side of the road, erect
ed cross over the grave. Mr.. Murphy,
who is an old frontiersman, speaks of the
heat on the desert as being terrible in the
extreme, equal to anything be had ever
seen in Arizona in midsummer. The
wind seemed hotter than the still air itself,
fairly biisiering the skin as it touched it.
After lying SICK from bis exhaustion and
sufferings for five days at Chucolwalla, he
was able to continue his journey, and
reached San Bernardino, where he rejoiu-
cd his wife, who had crossed the desert be-
fore him.
At Dos Palmas, where Herman Enren-
berg was murdered by an Indian last ear,
on the desert near the Lake of Salt, which
once formed the upper arm Of the Gulf of
California, there was formerlya hot spring,
beside which stood noble palm tree, one
of those from which the place took it's
name. The waters Of this spring are so
so highly charged with sulpher and soda

degree. Last May, spring Of pure cold
water burst out near the hot spring from
the rugged volcanic rocks by which the
valley is surrounded. Five days before
Mr.. Murphy arrived there-about the

the valley, and large brock Of pure cold
water broke out froI. a wide ti>surs in the
