The Unseen Rivers of the West.

Since the first exploration of Fremont
and his coadjutors among the peaks and
canyons of the Rocky Mountain system, the
books of travellers in that region TEEN with
accounts of paradoxes that set the ordinary
courses of nature at defiance Of these
there are almost numberless different
classes, but two or three will serve for
illustration. Large rivers, they tell us,
after flowing hundreds of miles, and re-
celving the waters of a large tributary sys-
tenn, suddenly disappear, vanish from sight,
and give no clue to their exit. In some
cases the mouth of stream seems to be at
or near its middle, the currents flowing
both ways till they meet aud disappear
Salt Lake, with all the. waters it receives,
never rises single inch nor loses drop
of water through any visible outlet
Again, the traveller, standing upon some
of the immense masses of rock among the
hills, feels tremendous quivering motion,
as though some Titanic railway train thun-
dered along beneath the surface. Through
assures in the cliffs strange currents of air
roar and whisper, and from far within
there comes the faint murmur as of
mighty organ From Fremont to Dixcn,
travellers have been content to repeat the
phrases of their Indian guides and call
these phenomena simply "blowing caves"
" trembling rocks,' and lost rivers" If
any have dared to theorize, they have feared
to write what they have dreamed.
There is at last, however, book in the
press which bodily faces the mystery. The
writer is Mr.. George Catlin, who TOR many
years dwelt among the Indians of the west,
and whose portraits of noted Red Men form
the principal record by which that race will
be remembered
Mr.. Catlin boldly announces his theory
that under the entire Rocky Mountain
chain, from Alaska to the Caribbean Sea,
there flows vast subterranean river, whose
tributaries burrow beneath all the principal
and divergent ranges, and derive their

SENSIBLE TALK-The Liberal Chris
tian makes the following sensible and we'll
timed remarks upon the subject of marry.
ing and unmarrying:
1t is not in the facility with which peo-
pie get divorced, but in the facility with
which they get married, that the mischief
inheres. 1t is not in the unmarrying but
the marrying-the marrying without prop
er consideration, marrying from wrong
motives, with false views and unfouuded
expectations, marrying without knowing
who or what-that causes all the distur-
bance. And there is altogether to much
of such marrying. Marriage is thing of
quality and degree A marriage of the
blood is usually short-lived affair, while
marriage of the brain or of the heart is
lifelong
When man and woman marry all over
and clean through, every faculty and seutl-
ment of each finding its complement and
counterpart in the other, separation is i'm
possible But when they are only half
married, when only third part of them
is married.. when they are married only
in their instincts, or their imagination, or
their fortunes, the unmarried part of them
is very apt to get uneasy and rebel, and
they find Bedlam where they look for Ely
sium.
There is altogether too much urging,
and coaxing, and alluring young people
into the most important and sacred of all
human relations before they are prepared
for its responsibilities or moved to assume
its burdens, and by those who ought to
know better and act with more considera-
ton. We make too much Of marrying and
being married, until it is thought by many
people somewhat of disgrace for woman
to pass through life alone; when, in fact
the life of many single woman is poetry,
romance, rapture even, in comparison with
many wife.

An Unpleasant Situation.

John Smith-you've heard of him-is
very bashful; is too bashful in truth. He
was born and raised in the country His
father gave him good education and al
lowed him plenty of money But John,
with all other attainments, never could
accustoni himself to female society, not be-
cause he did not like the girls, but because
his nature would moi permit him to associate
with the fair sex. 1t once happened, not
very long ago either, that Johns father
had some very important business to trans
act in the city. He also had some very
particular business to attend to at home,
which demanded his personal attention,
and not possessing the power of ubiquity,
be delegated his son John to transact that
in the CITY,
John, being thus commissioned, i'm
mediately proceeded to the city and to the
residence of his fathers old friend ~whom
he found to be nice old gentleman, with
beautiful daughter and gold spectacles.
John was ushered into the parlor "a new
thing for HIM and motioned to seat
near sofa (another new thing.
But we must use his own language
/ took my seat and made observations
Everything was fine. Fine carpets, fine
sofas, fine tables, fine curtains, fine books,
fine pianos, fine everything, and especially
a fine young lady who was dressed in fine
silk, fine satin, and who had fine curls, and
a fne appearance generally. After chatting
with the old gentleman a few minutes, he
took down his hat, told,me to make myself at
home for an hour or two and left-left me

chievous boy, the young lady's brother

waters from the constant melting of the ice
and snow of the mountain slopes, and from
the flow of the /" lost rivers" OF the plains
The trembling rocks are the roof of some
roaring subterranean cataract, whose spray
rising through the assures gives us the
"steaming caves" Of the Rocky Mountain
story.
Among the mountains of Oregon the
traveller finds lake whose shores are q
sheer wall of granite 1000 feet in depth.
No human foot ever scaled its perpendicular
face, no human hand ever touched its
silent waters. Like huge we'll it sinks
away into the earth like the guarded door
of realm which human discovery can
never penetrate. May not this be window
looking down upon the submontagne ANA
zon which the Indian painter has attempt
ed to describe, single peep-hole down to
the silent river which flows thence under
thousand miles of mountain rock, tn mingle
at last with the waters of the tropic gulf
Two well known facts seem to point
strong ly stoward the truth of Mr.. Catlin's
theory A glance at any map will show
that the river system of the Rocky Mount
ain country is entirely inadequate to carry
off the water which the snow and rain of
that district would create Secondly, the
level of the Caribbean sea, at the point
where Mr.. Catlin's theoretical river would
naturally pour out its submarine efflux, is
noticeably higher than the open sea outside
Whatever other facts may sustain or
dispute this new hypothesis, it is certain to
open the way to much more minute and
intelligent investigation of the subject than
it has ever before received. The study of
the submontagne river system and the
Aztec monuments of Mexico and California,
should make that corner of the Republic
the chosen haunt of science and discovery
for Il century to come.

SINGULAR DEATH.-The Carthage (Ill J

going to die soon that she felt that half her
body was dead already. She desired her
family to be sent for Immediately. She said
she suffered no pain, was not afraid to die,
but felt calm aud happy. In few moments
she apparently ceased to breathe, and sank
back as if in death. Her features, however,
were sufused with a smile Of serenity and
joy. Nearly week has elapsed since this
sad and singular occurrence. and vet the
