Lost in the Snow.

A correspondent in Salina, Kansas.
sent us an account of distressing occur
renee near that place on the 2Sth of last
month. On that day lad of twelve
years, son of an old correspondent,
Colonel w. A. Philips, had gone out
shooting III company with his cousin,
David Addison. About noon, at the ad-
vice of his companion, who saw storm
coming on, he turned to 90 home. He
Immediately started towards town at
rapid gallop, and was never spoken to
again. About one o'clock terrific snow
storm set in. After it had set in, and
before it had got so bewildering as to be
completely binding, boy like him was
seen riding along Mulberry Creek. The
terrible snow storm of Thanksgiving day
seemed to travel from the northwest to
the south. 1t was five clock before Mr..
Addison, with whom the boy was sup
posed to be, returned from the woods.
Such search as the storm permitted
was at once made, but all in vain.
Ten days passed. A hundred people
had been searching for the lost boy, but
no trace of him was found. The horse
he rode was found in the hills twenty
miles to the southwest, four days after he
was lost. On Monday, the 9th inst, a
Kaw Indian visited white settler on the
Smoky Hill river, at point thirty-six
miles from Salina, southwest, and told
him that a dead white man was in the
river" He was petty chief, and with
number of his people accompanied the
white settlers to the spot. 1t was only a
half mile distant from the house. Fear
ful of being suspected, as these poor peo-
pie often arc, the cautious Indian made
his people stand up on the bank, and
with the white man first examined if
there was any trail of man near the spot.
! None was found. Then the body was
carefully examined to see if it had any
wounds; it had none. 1t was the body
of boy with light golden hair and a
broad forehead. He lay on his face, his
coat and overcoat still buttoned up, and
his gloves still on his hands. Arevolver
was buckled about his little person,
which the Indians who discovered him
had not molested, and two packages of
matches carefully deposited in separate
pockets. The child had ridden thirty-five
miles through mountains that terrible
night, his frey horse, a thin skinned
blood, flying before the terrible storm.
| From all the evidence, he had reached

Willis thinks that all authors should
serve year in newspaper Office.
There is no such eAectual analysis Of
style as the process of tpye-setting. As he
takes up letter by letter Of a long or COM
plex sentence, the compositor becomes
most critically aware of where the sen.
tence might have been shortened to save
his labor. He detects repetitions, be.
comes impatient Of redundancies, recog-
nizes careless or inappropriate use Of
expletives, and soon acquires habit Of
putting an admirable on clsarness and
brerity. We venture to say that it would
alter the whole character of American
literature. if the authors (of our very
fluent nation y were compelled, before le-
gally receiving copy right, to have given
one year at the compositor's case. We
have said nothing of the art ofnice punct-
aation, which is also acquired in print
ing Office, and by which style is made
as much more tasteful as champagne by
effervescing.
Journeymen printers are, necessarily,
well-instructed and intelligent men. It
is part of proofreaders duty to mark
query" against every passage in new
book which he does not clearly compre-
hend Authors who know what is valu-
able, profit by these quiet estimates Of
their meaning and many weak point

tation if left uncorrected for the review

rather have the criticism of the work.
men in the office where it was printed,
than Of the reviewers who skim and pro-
nounce upon it..
Mr.. Bryant, in speaking of newspapers
said: Books are the precious metals in
masses coined them for gen.
eral use, put them into the most convent
ent forms, and passed them from hand to
hand. Newspapers, he said, are the ush-
ers Of books; who would know when a
book was published but for the friendly
information Of the newspaper? He al-
ded, that he had been sometimes tempted
TO regret that the wise, witty, or eloquent
things which appeared in these folios Of
four pages" as they are called by Cow
per, should not be inscribed on more du.
rable tablets, instead of going the next
morning to wrap parcels Of light kitchen
fires but he was fully satisfied with their
fate, when he reflected that they had first
been read by thousands, and that what.
ever was good in them had passed into
the general mind.

the spot where found about ten or eleven
o'clock at night, before the snow ceased.
He rode into bend between two farms,
and could have seen them had the snow,
which ceased before midnight, not filed
the air with its binding drifts. In that
one night the cold was so intense as to
freeze the river thick enough to bear up
a man. Crossing the last ridge from the
head Of Spring Creek he must have been
exhausted and chilled. His feet and
hands had not been frozen, but exhaust.
ed nature fell before the terrible ex.
haustion and exposure. The country
through which he must have passed was
the roughest and widest in that section.
At times the snow was SO dense that it
was impossible to see through it but
few feet. To have returned he had prob
ably to face the storm several times, and
no horse would hold head in such storm.
1t is believed that in his anxiety to get
home he urged his animal through the
storm as long as nerve and brain could
command. Arrived at the river the horse
had evidently borne him down the bank
to drink, and in stepping down he fell
from it on the gravel close to the water.

the necessities of the times; and from
their city home they were obliged to be-
take themselves to the suburbs, where all
the interests of life are swallowed up in
a great, utter loneliness, or become cen
tered in the hundred small aggravations
discomforts, and annoyances of suburban
existence.
Only the Lord will ever know how
much women of active habits and brains
suffer in the effort to be conscientious
wives and mothers, and the worst of it
is that they must neither expect credit
nor sympathy. A woman possessed of a
husband who does not beat her, and four.
five, or six, more or less, healthy chill
dren, is considered to be, and it is thought
to consider herself, a very happy and en-
viable person.
And SO she may be; but she must
have brought infinite courage and pa
tience, and willingness, and faithfulness,
and selfdenial, and long-sufering to the
task before she became so; and girls
ought to know, by plain, serious, truth
ful teaching, what, as women, they have
to expect.
The bridal, upon which so much of
happiness or misery depends, should be
religious ceremony and conservation,
not mere tete. 1t should be the solemn
taking upon oneself the burdens, the
pains, the trials, as well as the joys of
womanhood. 1t should be for women,
at least, an act of selfrenunciation, and
cause for humiliation, rather than self.
elation.
The hour of her triumph may come,
but it will be that of her death, not Of
her bridal it will be when, having con.
quered her own desires and inclinations
sunk the belle, the pet, the beauty the
ambitious dreamer in the exemplary wife
and mother, she finds herself lifted into
the beatitudes, and the reward of good
and faithful service conferred upon her.
But she must not expect reward or ap.
probation here If she devotes herself
to husband and children, they will look
upon her as a drudge, and take it as
matter of course; if she does not, she
will be abused for not doing her duty. A
married woman therefore deserves credit
for acting from the highest motives, as
she rarely finds encouragement, recogni-
ton, or sympathy to help her along.
These facts should be at least dimlv
shadowed forth in bridal ceremonies and
observances; tears should have place
as well as smiles, and the young wife
should be launched out upon the troubled
sea of life from her fathers roof, with
her mothers prayers and blessings to
surround her, rather than made the sub
ject of vulgar display, and the public
buffoonery of steamboats, and railroad
cars. .--Demoresps Momhy.

And the gulf narrows to threadlike mere;
We seem half way to thee,

Like drawbridge to a castle-gate.

How dark our present home!
By the dull beach and sulIen foam
How wearily. how drearily we roam,
With arms outstretched to thee.

When will our toll be done?
Slowly-footcd years more swiftly run
Into the gold Of that unsetting sun
Homesick for thee.

Why fadest thou in light?
Why art thou better seen toward night?
Dear land look always plain look always bright
That we may gaze thee.

Sweet is thine endless rest,
But sweeter far that Fathers breast
Upon thy shore eternaly possest
For Jesus reigns Ger thee

AMUsING.-At the time when we were
in the midst of our war furry, and men
had got their piety and their patriotism
so mixed up that they didn't know which
from 'tother, the elder from one Of our
populous churches, having finished his
sermon, and closed his Bible, looked
round upon his congregation with coun.
tenance which indicated that he had
something of importance to communicate.
The audience, as in duty bound, rcstled
little and then. subsidized into the ST.
ience of intense expectation. After the
suspense proper before the delivery Of a
weighty matter, the elder opened his
mouth and announced, "The closing
prayer will be made by brother-in-law
of General Grant /"
