The Wnmdcrer's Prayer.

On cold, dreary evening in autumn, a small
boy, poorly clad, yet clearly and tidy, with d
pack upon his back, knocked at the door of an
old Quaker III the town of s., and inquir-
ed, "Is Mr.. Lanman a. home?"
ayes"
The boy wished to see him. and was speedily
ushered into the hosts presence
FREUD LanInan was of she wealthiest men
in the country, and President of the railroad
lie said that he was an orphau-his mother had
been dead only two months, and he was now Il.
hopeless wauderer But the lad was too small
tor the filling of any place within the Quakers
gilt, and he was forced to deny him. Still he
liked the looks of the boy. and said to him:
"Ihee may stop IN my house tonight and IN
The morrow | VIII give thee names of two or
three good men in Philadelphia to whom thee
may apply with assurance of kind reception at
least. am sorry that / have no employment:

Later in the evening the old Quaker went the
rounds OF his spacious mansion, lantern in hand
as was his wont, to see that all was safe before
retiring for the night. As he passed the door
OF the little wandering orphan where he had
been placed to sleep he heard voice. He stop.
ped and listened, and distinguished the tone of a
simple, earnest prayer. He bent his ear nearer
and heard these words from the boys lips:
"Oh, gooG Father in heaven help me to help
myself. Watch over me as watch over nv own
conduct, and care for me as my deeds merit
Bless the good man in whose house am sheltered
ior the night, and spare him long, that he NAV

Death VasIey-Emrer Nor.

Nevada is a land of wonderful caves and other
euriosities. The following description of por.
ton OF that remarkable country we think worthy
of perusal:
While riding slowly ahead with our Indian
guide, M attention attracted TO "A small
valley in the gorge of the mountains. y light,
olueIsh vapor was ascending from a large num-
Der OF hot springs. The valley was not particu-
larry inviting, but as the men and animals were
tired, thought would camp in it for the night
The guide, however assured mo il was certain
death to inhalo the deadly yapors. We went in.
TO camp elsewhere; bat the next morning the
whole party started down the slope towards the
valley, feeling, As we'll as smelling, our way
cautiously. The doctor had provided himself
with couple OF Indian dogs and several live
rabbits, for the purpose of making experiments
After srrambling down about tive hundred
yards, the doctor, who WAS in advance detected
the absence ~ oxygen in the air, by the sudden
change IL the temperature and the increased
difficulty he experienced in respiration. A nau.
seous, sutfocating smell was also perceptible
every time the wind blew towards us. The val.
ley was about quarter of mile in circum.
ference. AMI oval IN shape. Not even blade of
grass, not single sage bush nor any living
thing was 10 be seen in it but CHASTITY human
skeleton was 10 be seen beside one of the nearest
springs Scattered around We're the skeletons of
deer, sheep, and other ANNALS The bottom of
the valley appeared to be hard, sandy soil, dry
and cracked, as il by heat, in various places.
One Of the Indian dogs was fastened to the
end of a lariat and lowered down, while some of
the party, watches in hand observed the effect
In fourteen seconds the dog fell down motionless
and IN three minutes dead. The other dog
which now trotted down to its companion, was
motionless in twelve seconds, and lived only five
minutes. Our guide informed us that the ex-
istence Of the valley had long been known to his
tribe. Two of their braves persisted in it while
endeavoring TO corral some antelope, all of which
persisted too. The springs in the valley generate
such a large volume of carbonic acid gas as to
completely poison the whole surrounding atmos.

there is but little danger that it will be fire.

was not submitted to in silence. The relative
merits Of the two divisions were investi gated
and discussed criminations and recrimina-
tions followed, until the line aud staff were
engaged in open warfare. The families and
friends Of the parties now join in the quarrel,
aud their social relations are frequently to-
tally destroyed.
In addition TO the wrong done the active
officers, Admiral Porter has Injured the sick
and manned officers on the retired list by
usurping power that belongs TO Congress
alone. The effect of his order has been to
change the pay of a number of these officers,
who unfortunately belong to the staff alone
Fourteen surgeons, who received as captains
on the retired list $1,000 q year, now receive
only $1400. Fourteen paymasters and two
chief engineers suffer the same loss by being
reduced from the rank of captain to that OF
commander. Ten surgeons have been re-
duced from the rank Of commander to that of
lieutenant, and their pay has been reduced
from $4,000 $1,000 per year. No line officer
is affected by this order.
Where Admiral Porter finds authority for
this act we are at a loss to know; for Congress
alone has the power to alter the pay of
officers and men. While reducing the pay OF
old and faithful retired officers, he wastes
millions on fancy engines and the silly altera-
ton of old vessels, and destroys the spirit
and efficiency of the navy. How long is he
to be permitted to indulge in these usurpa
tions?
