My Express EnretOpe.


We were sitting 10y the window, Nellie
and |; watchin. the white, binding
snow. as it came slantin. down shrouding
the earth deeper and deeper with Its
frozen mantle.
Nellie spoke first.

yet along two or three days with what
we have, or until this storm is over. L
fear to have you 90, for it will surely
blow and drift BADLY, and the trail Is
already lost in the snow. You would
certainly perish before You could reach
the village = and the blue eyes filled
with fears at the bare suggestion.
Nearly TWO years before we had left
Il pleasant New England home, humble,
but surrounded by kind tricuds, and
turned westward, hoping TO better our
fortune.
We removed to Minnesota, and bought
a small farm which had been partially
improved by family from Kentucky,
who had left the state, being unable to
endure the incIemcncies Of Il Minnesota
winter, and more especially unable TO
sympathize with the strong republican
sentiment which existed there at the out
break Of the rebellion. As the farm con-
tanned both timber and prairie, little
cabin of hewn logs, bordering on creek
OF pure water, we planted few flowers,
and were quite ccntented and happy in
our new home 50 far from kindred ties,
and 50 near the outskirts of civilization.
Our nearest neighbors were two bach
clor brothers, from the state of Indiana,
and commonly known as the ''Crordons.
They lived in a secluded, insulated sort
of way, seldom associating with the
surrounding inhabitants.
They lived fully four miles from US
and nine miles farther in an easterly d.
rection was the fourishing village o
Wellville; situated on the bank of con
siderable river.

HISToRY OF CULORED BOl.-Rev.
III. c. Trumbull gives an account OF
colored bov whom lie used to know as
coarse. proiane, drunken fellow, and
scholar in IA mission school in Hartford.
lie was sent TO prison for thirty days
for attempting to stab the superinten-
dent, and being let out on Sunday, came
directly back to the Sunday school, for
which he had an unreasoning affection.
He was greatly attached TO his teacher,
and when tue teacher moved TO Bridge
port, the boy worked his way there, and
was again taken into his Sunday school.
Soon after, he was put under Christian
influence in the State Reform school.
Here he was converted, and afterwards
went TO the war as a servant to an OIL
ticer. At Washington he began to teach
the refugees, and went on constantly add
ing to the education begun in the Sab
hath school. A few months ago he
called on MIR. Trumbull, and, after show
iup him his credentials as a regular
Methodist preacher, member of the
constitutional convention of North Caro-
lima. and an editor of a religious paper,
said he: "iou see that your work in
Morgan street was not all in vain, MIR.
Trumbull."
