this short bridge over which the train thun-
ders, the water rushed like Niagara. See
how it was by the water mark on the fence.
1t rushed through, carrying with 1t plllng,
cross-tie and embankment with resistless
force, and this general weakening of its bed
caused the road to cave, and having caved,
to look for another great route to the
North" On all sides is seen the marks OF
water-a deep mark on fences which, in
their best condition, are rickety; on the
land, where the waves, surging out, have
worn deep burrows, like many steam plows;
ON the grass and weeds, deadened, black
and coaly; ON the hOnses, whose founda-
tions being Slapped, are on their beam ends,
stranded, as it were, from long voyage.
"Soon IS the water stopped comm in, the
food went down in day"
This information is given by an inhab-
liant of this swampy, muddy and watery
region, and indeed the land bears out his
assertion, everything looking as if things
had gone down with a rush.
AS you land at New Orleans, the usual
crowd of hangers-on at the depot look upon
the passengers that the train disgorges as if
they were the heroes of great feat; and
they were; for surely it is something to be
noted-this passage ON "the first train
through"

Thirty-two years ago negro man by the
name of David Wake, owned by a gentle
man III this city, was sold and sent to New
Orleans. At the time he was living as man
and wife with woman named Nancy
Gibbs. He remained in New Orleans until
last year, when he paid a brief visit to this
city and returned home. few days since
he packed up bag and baggage and came
back to Norfolk to live. One of his first
acts on arriving here was to procure a mar
riage license, and the next evening he and
his former wife were legally reunited, he
being elghty-three and she seventy-four
years of age. Such constancy, and indubita-
BILE evidence of affection OUTLYING time and
absence deserve notice. Both negroes were
slaves of the old regime, and are both highly
respected.-Norfolk Vrginian.

ONE NAME.
BY ABBY HUTCHINSON PATFEN.

BY ABBY HUTCHINSON PATTEN.
J'pon the silver shining sand,
A maiden wrote, with loving hand,
One name-no more.
The waves crept up with steady aim,
And washed away the little name,
Far from the shore.
Then, with pen of finer art,
she wrote again deep in her heart
One name-nO more.
But fear, and doubt. and wounded pride
soon drowned within the crimson tide
The word she bore.
yet" said the maiden, through grief and PAIN
Stil l write on living brain
One name-nO more
But want, and care and added years,
Buried in depths of bitter tears
The sign che wore
Then cried the maiden in wild despair,
as there no safe place anywhere
By sea or shore,
IN brain or heart ~ The answer came'
God keepeth safe thy true loves name

Springs, would require columns to depict.
They are wonders enough to make this re-
gion famous the world over but are in fact
only some out of the many attractions
grouped about Pixies Peak. The surround
ing country is such that not only will Colo
RADIO Springs be pleasure resort but must
also be an important business point. The
stock and lumber regions naturally centre
their trade to such locality as this. An
important industry will be the raising of
early vegetables and small fruits for the
Denver and mountain markets, it having
been shown from experience that the mild
climate of this section of Colorado makes it
well adapted to fruit culture. This favored
section of Colorado has long been known
and esteemed the most attractive and won
derful in the West, and now that it is to be
opened to colonization, accessible by rail-
road before the summer ends, must result
in turning the tide of population in that
direction and making it speedily an import
ant and popular resort.
