TIE RAILROADS. DECENT INTO SALT
LAKE VALLEY.--We take from Mr..
Bowle's Pacific Railroad chapter in his
new volume Of Our New West" the
following description Of the final passage
through and down the mountains into the
Salt Lake Valley. This section of the
road has been built almost wholly during
the winter months:
The country changes for the better as
the road crosses Green river and enters
upon the third section of the mountain
pass, which ends with the Salt Lake val-
ley at Ogden. Nothing on the whole
line, unless it be the passage over the
Sierra Nevadas in California, rivals this
section in grand and picturesque scenery.
1t has also, with the same exception, been
the hardest part Of the road to build; for
here are real mountain ranges to be cross,
ed, TO be scaled and to be descended, in
order to reach the Salt Lake basin. Deep
cuts, heavy embapkments, numerous tun-
nels are found in the pathway Of the track
But at first we pass through long troughs,
like beds Of departed rivers, with noun
tain walls on either bank, often bearing
most unique forms, models for the archi.
tect, puzzles for the brain of artists. High
winds, heavy rains, and columns OF swiftly
moving and revolving sand appear to have
been at work among these hills to waste
and to reconstruct. Tall, isolated rocks,
surmounting hill, sometimes round, but al.
ways even and smooth as if the work of
the finest chisel immense columns and
fantastic figures upon the walls Of rock that
line valley for miles solitary mountains
upon the plain, fashioned like fortress,
or rising like Gothic cathedral, and called
buttes, ia French word signifying isolated
hill or mouutain) separated from their
family in some great convulsion of nature;
long lines of rock embankment, one above
another, formed sometimes into squares
like vast fort, and again running along
for miles, hundred feet above the valley,
looking like the most perfect of railroad
embankments, with an open breach occa-
sionally fer a water r-course,-these are
some of the labors of these architects of
nature, and with details indescribable and
ever picturesque, they will be a constant
excitement and inspiration to the traveller.
Soon, passing over crests of mountains,
amid patches of snow and fields of yellow
howers-such contrasts were offered US in
June,-the road seeks its way into the
Salt Lake valley by Echo and Weber
Canyons These, their approaches and
their connections, are variously wonderful
regions. Narrow gorges themselves, with
towering walls of rock on each side, mar
rover gorges open out from them, and
lead up among timber and to mountain
tops. Streams, pure and lively, course
through them, seeking home in the mys,
terry Of Salt Lake, Wherever the valley
is bold enough to widen, fertile meadows
gladden. the eye, and Mormon thrift and
Mormon polygamy begin to show their re-
suits. More women and children than
men are new and strange sight in this
far-away country.

CARRYING THE WAR INTO AFRICA
The ladies Of Clyde, Ohio, formed tenn
perance organization and proceeded to
business in novel manner. They VISIT
ed the bar rooms and billiard saloons, they
took their knitting with them, and sat
down for siege. Many were the rcvela-
tions that we're made during these calls,
some Of which sadly proved the "deceitful-
ness and desperate wickedness" of the hp-
man heart. In few instances wives met
their own husbands, mothers their sons,
and young ladies their lovers. This state
Of things caused an agitation seldom if ev +.
er known, and the result was that after
two weeks visitation the billiard room
keepers gave up and left town. Then
the ladies petioned the City Council to
prohibit the sale Of liquors, which was
done, and dram drinking at public resorts
has been stopped.

COpartnership.

THE RuMsEILER's PROPOSAL TO THE
Dear Sir-I have opened apartments,
fitted up with all the enticements of lax
ury, for the sale of Rum, Brandy, Gin,
Wine, Beer and all their compounds.
Our objects, though different, can be best
attained by united action. therefore
propose co.partnership. All | want Of
men is their money. All else shall be
yours.
Bring me the industrious, the sober,
the respectable, and will return them
to you drunkards, paupers and beg
gars
Bring me the child, and ! will dash to
earth the dearest hopes of the father and
mother.
Bring me thefather and the mother, and
] will plant discord between them, and
make them curse and a reproach TO their
children.
Bring me the young man, and | will
ruin his character, desti oy his health,
shorten his life, and blot out the highest
and pulest hopes Of youth.
Bring me the mechanic or the laborer,
and his own money-the hard-earned
I uits of his toil-shal be made to plant
poverty, vice and ignorance in his once
happy home.
Bring me the warm hearted sailor, and
| will send him on lee-shore, and make
shipwreck of all his fond hopes for ever
more.
Bring me the profeSsed follower Of
Christ, and will blight and wither every
devotional feeling of the heart, l will cor
rupt the ministers Of religion, and deGle
the purity of the Church.
Bring me the patronage of the city and
Of the Courts of Justice-let the magis
trates o. the State and the Union become
my patrons-let the law makers them
selves meet at my table and participate il
violation of law, and the name Of the Law
shall become Kissing and a by word il
the streets.
Bring me, above all, the moral, respec
tnbe man-if possible, bring the moder
ate temperance man, though he may no
drink, yet his presence will countenanc,
the pretexls under which our busines
must be masked-bring him to our stores
oyster saloons, eating houses and hotels
and the more timid of our victims will
then enter without alarm.
Yours, faithfully,
RUMSELLER

Men are not born, but are made, Ges
MUS, worth power Of mind, are more made
than born. Genius born may grovel in
the dust; genius made may mount to the
skies, Our great and good men that
stand along the path Of history bright and
shining lights are witnesses Of these truths.
They stand there as everlasting pleaders
70 employment. Now what is true of
men in this respect is equally true Of wo.
men. Unemployment is the instrumental
ity in making men, it is equally so in
making women. There is something no.
BILE, grand, glorious in woman, She is
the impersonation of spiritual beauty.
But all females are not women. There
are scores of them who are only female
humanities and scores more who are
only ladies. A lady and a woman are
two very different things-one is made at
the hands of fashion the other is the
handiwork Of God through the instru-
mentality of useful employment. We
know that young man thrown upon his
own resources is more likely to be a great,
good man, than when Graded upon the lap
of luxury or fortune. Why is it 7 Simply
because he seeks employment, and depends
upon himself for what he is to be and do
He leans not on another, and hence grows
strong by standing alone, A woman can
no more be true woman than a man
can be true man without employment
and self-reliance. l would have every
boy and girl in the whole country taught
to make their own living at some useful
employment; no matter if they are rich.
How many women there are over whose
heads time drags heavily They have
nothing to do. The dull round of society
is irksome. They have stood at the toilet
till everything there is fatiguing. They
have talked over and over their little
round Of fashionable nonsense. / know
that many noble women are weary of such
life. They are tired Of being dolls. They
would be glad to be women and fill the
places Of usful, energetic, resolute women.
Lite is given for employment; our powers
are made for activity. The idler is a
lcech on himsef-his own despoiler. An
idle woman is as base thing as an idle
man. She was made to be self,reliant
and useful. A drone in any hive is a
base bee. know young women have re-
fined ideas of delicacy ; sometimes imag,
inc it is vulgar to be useful that delicate
hands are evidences of ladyship. They
ought to know that delicate hand is an
evidence ofa soft head. Ladyship and wo-
manhood are two things. A soft hand
and faint heart may make one, but not
the other. Womanhood is put on by in
dustry in the pursuit of good. 1t is made
in the field of noble employment

u. S. HOMESTEAD LAw,-The law of
June 2, 1866, providing for the disposal
of the public lands in the Southern States
for homestead settlements is now in force.
The first section Of the act provides for the
disposal of the lands in the States of Ala.
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas,
and Florida, for homestead settlements
only, according to the provisions of the
original homestead act of May 20, 1862,
and the amendatory act of March 81,
1864, but restricts each entry to eighty
acres, held at 81 25 per acre, or half that
quantity of double minimum laad. This
restriction as to quality contionues until the
expiration of two years from the date of
the act, and entries after that will be al
lowed,as provided for in the original laws
and the act amendatory thereof, unless
otherwise ordered by Congress.
In lieu of the ten dollars fee required BY
the act of 1862 to be paid at the time of
entry, five dollars must be paid when the
patent issues. The benefits of the act are
extended to all citizens of the United
States, without distinction as to race or
color. The above provisions have special
applications to the States mentioned,
while the second section of the act is of
general application to all the States and
Territories, and provides that until the
first of January, 1867, the applicant shall
make affidavit that he has not borne arms
against the Urited States, or given aid or
comfort to its enemies The law is of fur-
ther general application in this, that the
fee is reduced TO five dollars when the en-
try shall not embrace more than eighty
acres at 81 rs per acre. The provision
of the acts of 1862 and 1864, except as
modified by the act of June 2, 1866, are
made part of the aforementioned act.

From "Our Dumb Animals"
Turned Out to Die.

ny CALLER DUNN.
Only a poor old horse-thats all!
Only a worm out faithful creature
Blind, and changed in every feature
Who always answered his masters call,
And toiled for him In the days gone by
The same hard-hearted master who,
Finding no more for his servant TO do,
Now turns him out to die.
Many heavy load has been drawn
By this poor old horse I. but never again
VIII he obey the command of whip or rein,
For here on this frozen roadside lawn;
Some one will find some early dawn,
Lying alone, oil stiff and cold,
Beneath the pitiless wintry sky,
This poor dilapldated old
Deserted horse, turned out to die.
! know he thinks of his cruel fate,
Ofthe bitter lot which has come at last;
know he remembers that steady gait
Which was his, tho twas neither slow nor
fast,
But he Is sensible still, amid all his pain
More sensible far than the brute who
spurned him,
And with fendlsh cruelty turned him
Away from the barn and the oaten grain
Turned him away with never sigh
out on the bleak roadside to die.
Yet after all, In the sight of Heaven
would rather he this poor old creature;
Blind and changed in every feature;
Than his brutal master; to whom was given
The sight to see, but whose eyes are blind {:
Whose heart is rs hard as a stone, and
whose mind
Is dead to all that is good and kind,
Yes,I would rather be this old horse spurned,
Dying here under the wlntry sky,
Than the form with soul who crully turned
Him out TO die

A clergyman recently related the fol.
lowing; Two young friends Of bis were
boarding in Germany with very devout
Catholic lady, who always asked blss-
sing before each meal. One day she asked
the young men how the Americans asked
a blessing. One of them remembering
the haste with which SO many of his
countrymen attack their food, said, "Tbe
Ameaican blessing is, 'Pitch in" A few
days after, the good lady, thinking 10
please her boardes, reyerenily folded her
hands before breakfast, and uttered the
words, "Pitch in,' which they of course
did,

as with "vice" generally, according to
that hackneyed quotation "Men first en-,
durc, then pity, then embrace" What
used to be excused, apologized for, is now
justified nay, some will pretend that
they find this weed essential to their en-
joyment of health. They know better,
and "the time has come that judgement
must begin at the house of God" What
shall the end be?

REPLY,

Aly dear Brother-I address you by
this endearing appellation, because of the
congemality of our spirits, and of the
great work we are both engaged in the
work OF destruction. | most cordially
accept your proposals. For five thousand
years sought in vain for a man so fully
after my own heart to do my work among
men. even ransacked the lowest depths
of hell for a devil who could and would
do for me the whole work of destruction.
But little success attended their efforts,
My minions always made some mistake,
or too soon showed the cloven foot. /

few thousands, most generally the help-

loathing from him, and his mission was
comparatively failure.

in chains-destroyng virtue, wrecking
happiness, blasting characters, and caused

chains some were bound; but men learned
to hate him for his meanness, and compar.

them; but these three indiscrininately
