In the morning the storm was passed
and the sun came brightly up. Late
in the forenoon the stage came along
the road and with busy hands dug
through the snow; but Ellen Ander-
son did not so away in it. And many
suns rose, beaming warm and brightly
upon the house of Mary Anderson ;
but the light and warmth without was
nothing to the light and warmth with

been renewed, and the MONDAY of life
turned toward the evening with prom

of Eg Buscapie. Of the Buscapie in
1870 there was no copy to be found in
Spain, although there was a person
then living who told the author of the
Academy's "Life of Cervantes" that
he had once seen copy of it. But
from that day to this the existence of
the B,tscapte, alluded to in the Acade-
my's "Life of Cervantes," and the
question if there ever was such book
whether Cervantes wrote it, has been
one of the most curious things in lit
eraryhistory and in Spain itself has
caused great search to be made for the
manuscripts of Cervantes. The search
comes to be stimulated afresh in l847,
in consequence of a pretentien that a
copy of the B,iscapie had been acci-
dentially found in Cadiz, in manu-
script, not in the handwriting Of Ger
vantes, but assigni 1g him as the au-
thor in the title of the tract, which
also purpofts throughout this revision
of it to have been written by him. In
184S this pretended manuscript was
published at Cadiz by Don Alfouse de
Cactro, who claimed to have discov-
cred it; and hence arose new ques.
tion among Spanish critics, namely,
whether the Buscap1e claimed by De
Castro to have been discovered by him
IN 1S47 was the true Buscapie about
which there was tradition in 1880,
and about which,. in its turn, there
was always doubt whether such a
book ever existed, and ifit did wheth :
er it was written by Cervantes himself.
The discussions on this subject ap-
pear to have settled at leas. one point,
namely, that De Castro's Buscapie was
his own invention. This was evident
ly Mr.. Tickuor's opinion, who exam.
ined the whoiessuhjects in a manner
which De Castro could not answer.
Bat whether there ever was a Buscapis,
whether it was written by Ceramics
and whether the Cadiz Bustdpie Of De
Castro's discovery was forgery or
not, have all been questions that for
nearly a century have successfully
caused much inquiry to be made for
specimens of the handwriting of the
greatest genius of Spain. What tho
handwriting of Cervantes IS can easily
be determined. because there exists in
Seville quite mass of documents pre-
pared by Cervantes and constituting
his petition to the king for an appoint
ment in America. lfany manuscript
has been found which is honestly be-
lieved to be the original manuscript of
the don Quixotc,' it's claims can ca
silly be tested by comparison with
documents which are known to be in
the handwriting OF Cervantes; AMI if
the comparison shall result in proof of
the authenticity, it is impossible 10
conceive Of any literary treasure of
which any nation can be more justly
proud. But the probabilities are de-
cidedly against it.

WHAT CAME IN THE STORM
BY sYLvANUs COBB, JR.

Mother dear, cannot leave you
Let me unpack my trunk and remain
at home. I can find something to do
here"
You had better 90, Ellen The
mother spoke these words in q low
tone, and with her face turned away
from her child; and it was plain to be
seen that she had been speaking as she
had schooled herself to speak-not
from the impulses os the heart but
from the dictates of necessity.
Mary Anderson was a middle aged
woman slight of frame, from whose
pale, careworn face the traces of rare
beauty we're not yet obliterated. Her
daughter resembled her, not only in
form and feature but also in the ex-
preston of care and toll which casts its
shadow over her face. They lived
alone in the humble cot, just out from
the village, and for years their daily
bread had been earned by constant Ia
Dor. Ellen had learned to work when
a mere prattling child, and as she
grew older her busy hands found en-
ployment in many useful ways. And
now, at the age of fifteen, she had
mado arrangements to go away from
home and work among strangers. Her
new clothes had been packed in
small trunk, and the stage was to call
for her the following morning. 1t was
early winter, and the day had been
cold and drear. As the sun went
down the snow began to fall, and by
the time night had fairly set in the
storm was raging furiously.
Il shall be SO lonesome and unhap-
py away from you my dear mother

SALT LAKE CTR, April 10, III.

SALT LAKE C1rT, April 10, III.
One of the great aud attractive fea-
lures to Salt Lakedom during the past
week was the
sEMI-ANEUAL CONFERENCE OF THE
SAINTS,
who poured in here from tie most dis
lant settlements of the Territory to
listen to the advice and cxhortations
of the apostles, bishops and leading
men of the Church of the Latter Day
Saints. conference was held in
the Temple, an immense building,
shaped somewhat like the half of an
egg cut longitudinally, which, with
the new galleries recently added, can
easily seat IL. 900 people. 1t was we'll
filled on Sunday last, the final session
of the general congregation of the
church, on account of the delivery of
discourses by Brigham Young, Orson
Pratt and other shining lights in tho
Kingdom of God which has been es-
tablished in the beautiful basin of
Utah. Many Gentiles, or heathens,
as the liberal saints call the American
citizens who do not belong to the close
corporation presided over by Brigham
Young who claims to be the 'tonly
Representative of the Lord on earth,
were present, one had fine opportu-
nifty to listen to an exposition of the
fundauental doctrines of the Norman
creed. None were converted, though
all were enlightened.
Orson Pratt. announced the fact
that the new Jerusalem, to be estab-
lished on the Eastern Continent, and
the new Zion were TO be founded here
in Utah for the Western Continent.
He informed us that the time for the
coming of the Lord wa7 not tar dis
tant, as it was to occur in the lie time
of the generation now living, who
were alive when Joe. Smith received
heavenly communications--now en-
bodied in the Book of Mormons. 1t
is about thirtv-nine years since these
revolutions were made, but Mr.. Pratt
pushed way that difficulty with great
case, and cleared up the question to
the perfect satisfaction of most of his
hearers. The great feature of the last
day was
BRIGHAM YoUNe's DISCOURSE,
in which he grappled with the new
elements of public policy created by
the present and future situation of
affairs in Utah. The Church so long
from communities of differ !
ent belief, has been thrown in close
with them by that splendid
enterprise, the Pacific Railroad, and
foreign and inimical influences are
flowing in from all sides to build up
political society diametrically opposed
to the theocracy so long master of this
Territory. Under ordi-
nary circumstances the growth of this
new element would nave been slow
and almost inperceptible But the
discovery of immense and most mex
haustible mineral mines Of unparallel- !
ed richness has entirely changed the
slements of the problem to be solved
in the mid continent. A new class of
people are rushing here. Not the

Whit father has done for me,
When, with the naked f1eshy eye,
My way 1 could not see:
For 1 have kept the faith" as Paul
Remarked to Timothy.
Some times I hav been sorely tried
-By-soul-besettipg doubt L - =
Yes, in extremity I've lied ~ 4
And almost been found outi
But that was when adversely - -
Had compassed me about!
Yet faith has triumphed in the end,
And always brought me through ;
For which my daily thanks ascend
To Him to whom they're due
Except when I am busy, or
Have some sly job in view.
A year ago, I bought hoss,
Whose style MY fancy strnck,
But early recognized my loss
He wasn't worth shuckI.
All, brethern, twas a bitter cross,
The thought that 1 was "stuck."
He was a very showy brute,
But most amasingly slow,
1t somehow never seemed to suit
That animal tn 90
He always seemed discouraged by
A sense Of endless whoa!
My faith vas sadly shaken
BY that eighty-dollar trade;
Yet the Psalmist wasn't mistaken;
81 havn't seen," he said,
"The righteous man forsaken,
Nor his seed begging bread"
And sure enough, there came along
A horse.dealing dad beat,
On whom l "came it" rather strong,
By what might seem deceit
Though L can hardly deem it wrong
1he wicked to defeat.
The Spanish flies were thick that day,
And some got in the feed!
How suddenly that boss waxed gay!
And how increased his speed!
Yea, outwardly and inwardly
He was a fiery steed!
That Jockey sceffed at style and pace,
In phrases quite proiane,
Then shook three "fifties' in my face,
And shook them not in vain.
The lucre quite enticed me, though
His language gave me pain
ought to have reproved him
For the wicked words he said,
But anger might have moved him
T repudiate the trade,
Besides, he was, already most
Essentially .f:wed.
Thus I brough low that man ofsin
And saved myself +. ON loss;
And, brethren, trials, long have been
To me, like that old hoss- '1'- 3,
1 profit, in the long run, by
What seemed, bitter cross.
THIS things are sure to come round
right, . ---..
For those who live in faith;
That "walk by faith, aud not by sight
AS the Apostle saith;
And while it pays, I mean to be
Found t'faithful unto DEATH"

A Successful NarrOw.Gauge Rail-
road.

From the New York journal OF Commerce.
The first narrow.gauge railway Tor
passenger travel and freight, constructed
on this continent, has been opened and
declared successful. The road Is known
rs the "Uenver and Rio Grande," and is
now built between Denver and Colorado
City, q distance OF seventy.siX miles. II
has a three.foOt track, the rails weighing
only thirty pounds to the yard, and the
maximum curvature Is six degrees 10 the
hundred feet-the maximum grade being
seventy.flve feet TO the mile. Tho pass
enger engines weigh twelve tons and cost
only $1,000, and the freight engines fifteen
tons, costing $850O. Expense per mile Of
building, as equipped, Is $4,000, which,
on account oil high transportation charges
on material from the east, Is greater than
the cost of similar road would be in
this part of the country. The estimated
cash cost Of such a line here Is from
$4,000 to $4,000. An excursion was
made over the road Immediately on It's
completion, between the points men.
toned, and the riding was easy and
comfortable at 10 TO 30 milesAn hour. The
cars aru necessarily smaller than those
used on ordinary tracks, being thlrty-ave
feetllong and seven feet In outside width
having double seats on one side and single
seats OH tho other, and accommodating
thirty four passengers. Sleeping cars and
ali c0nyeniences OF travel can DO provided
on such roads as well as on the wider
gauges. Tie reported demonstration Of
the practicaBillty Of a three. foot gauge
over broken country like that 10 Colorado
Is n matter oil importance 10 all the people
of the United States. II proves that rail.
ways suitable for passenger and freight
business may DO built far cheaper than
the average Of existing roads: Towns
and villages which require rail connec.
ton, but have hitherto been destitute Of
that advantage, rccoiling from tho high
price Of construction, may now pick up
courage and build q road. In mountain
ous regions, the superior merits Of the
narrow gauge arc very apparent, since
tic EXPENSE of cutting, filling, tunneling
and grading Is so mitch reduced from the
estimates for broad gauges. The sharper
curves practicable with three.ioot track
are also great argument In its favor
With diminished cost Of construction viii
come more reasonable tariffs for passen'
gers and freight, less expenditure for re,
pairs, greater probability Of dividends, and
other incidental benefits.
