Legend Of the Yellowstone.

Even i'll the middle of Summer the snow
is so deep in these mountains that success
sivo government exploring parties were
baffled in their attempts to enter them, and
all private expeditions have been driven
off by the Indians. 1t is said that the
Crows fear, as the wales are so green, that
if the white man once knowsof their beau
ty their hunting grounds will be ruined.
These wales are the resort of numberless
herds of buffalo and wild game, and here,
the trappers tell us, is the mother region :"
of the gold, where the Indians told Father
de Smet it was found on the surface.
Here are burning plains, so testities Bridg-
er, at the head of the Yellowstone, and
large lakes and boiling springs, like the
geysers of Iceland. Here he saw his Two
Ocean River, which, after flowing for some
distance, separates into two large streams
one travelling to the Atlantic, the other
to the Pacific. In one of these Wales is q
large tract of sage-brush, every leaf and
branch perfect, and here and there are rab-
bits, sage-hens, and even Indians, all turn
ed to solid stone. Ill fares it with whose

OF whites were once hotly pursued by In
dams, and could only travel by night, when
they were aided by the brilliant light shot
from huge diamond in a neighboring
mountain, by which they travelled on for
three consecutive nights. Here once an old
trapper was lost on his road from Fort La
ramie to Taos, and wandered for many
days; and in drinking from stream found
pieces of yellow metal large as hazel-nuts,
which he carried to Taos and found to be
gold. He spent many years seeking the
place again, but in vain. These and many
other legends and traditions of these re-
gions the trapper gave us as truths familiar
in the mountains as household words,

Never Trile With Sacred Things.

The caption of this article is both text
and commentary. All men of right minds
will admit the propriety of the command.
But how few obey it Religious sentiment
is matter of cultivation as we'll as of grace.
The great fault of the day is want of rever-
ence for sacred matters. You find, not only
in the secular, but in the religious papers,
Holy Names printed in ordinary letters,
while the names of distinguished men, und
even the name of the paper, are printed in
large letters, as mark of distinction
So, it is a common thing to quote phrases
from the Bible, in light and hippant way,
for the purpose of raising laugh. All
this is irreverent, and tends to weaken the
now already slight religious sentiment OF
the community.
We havc always had great respect for the
old Scotchman who never took drink of
wafer without taking off his cap and glanc-
ing upwards.
In religious articles, in prayers, in ser
mons, and sometimes in secular addresses,
the name of the DEITY is oftentmes too
frequently, because unnecessarily, introduce
ed. The heather treated their mythologi-
cal dcities more respectfully than Christians
treat their omnipotent Con. They had q
saying, never invoke the presence of i
god, unless the occasion is worthy of n
god
We will moi now speak of profanity, for
all gentlemen condemn that even when
they are guilty Of it, but Of that unscemly
use of Holy Names, which may be termed
semi-religious profanity, and that light

The Value Of Snow 10 the Soil.

The following beautiful remarks upon the
value of snow will doubtless be read with
interest. 1t is from the pen of the editor
of the Nesc England Farmer:
When the snow comes early and remains
through the winter, the roots of the grain
and grass remain green and succulcnt, and
areready for an early start in the spring.
The snow also protects the surface from
the sweeping winds, which dry it and re-
move the soil from the roots of the winter
grain. When the snow lies in deep body
on the ground, if We have occasion to dig
into the earth, we find there is little or no
, frost. People say the snow has taken the
frost out of the ground. This is not exact
ly true. The snow has protected the ground
from the cold air, and the heat radiating
from the earth has melted what frost there
was under the snow.
The white color of snow prevents the
absorption of the suns rays, and their trans
mission to the ground, so that the alternate
thawing and freezing does not take place
in snow. covered surface which docs in
one on which the snow does not lie.
1t is often said that the snow is the poor
mans manure. But it is the rich mans as
well, for it brings down elements of fertil.
ity from the atmosphere, and retains them,
and when it nl"lts conveys them into the
soil,
When the SNOW is converted into Wajer
by the genial influences of the suns rays,
it penctrates the soil SO quietly that it does
not displace the seeds, or disturb the root,
lets Of the plants, but sottens and swells
them, and at the same time dissolves the ell
ements of nutrition around them, which
they are thus enabled to absorb into their
circulating vessels and convey to their ten
der shoots and buds.
Thus good Providence supplies us with
the means of life and comfort. 1t sends
the snow to retain the warmth of the earth,
and protect all vegetable life. Without it,
in the higher ATTITUDES, the earth could not
be inhabited by man. The ground would
freeze to such depth that it would not be
thawed till mid summer. We could raise
no winter grain, and the short seasons
would limit our cultivation to few of the
harder plants.
The snow, then, is not only 50 beauty and
a joy" but it is a safeguard and protection
to all vegetable life. 1t adds largely to the
fertility and productiveness ofthe soil, and
enables it to produce much greater vari-
ETY. and abundance of crops for the supply
of man, and the cherished animals which
contribute so largely to his necessities and
comforts, than it would otherwise do.

Rolling Stones.

The Scientific american says: "Many of
our readers have doubtless heard of the To-
nous travelling stones of Australia. Sim
liar cnriosities have recently been found in
Nevada, which are described as almost per-
fectly round, the majority of them as large
as walnut, and fan irony nature. When
distributed about on the floor, table or 9th
CT level surface, within two or three feet of
each other, they Immediately begin travel
ling toward common centre, and there
huddle up in bunch like lot of eggs in
nest. A single stone removed to the dis
lance of three and half feet, being releas-
ed, at once started off with wonderful
and somewhat comical celebrity to join its
fellows; taken away four or five feet it re-
manned motionless. They are found in
region comparatively level, and nothing
but bare rock. Scattered over this barren
region are little basins, from foot to rod
in diameter, and it is in the bottom Of
these that the rolling stones are found.
They are from the size of pea to five OF
six inches in diameter. The cause of these
stones rolling together is doubtless to be
found in the material of which they are
composed which appears to be loadstone or
magnetic iron ore.n

BOYS on the Farm.

The truth is that boys have always been
so plenty that they are not appreciated
We have shown that farm could not get
along well without them. and vet their
rights are seldom recognized. One Of the
most amusing things is their effort to ac-
quire personal property. The boy has the
care of the calves; they always want feed
ing or shutting up or letting out; when
the boy wants to play, there are those calves
to be looked after-until he gets to hate
the name Of calf. But in consideration of
his faithfulness, two of them are given to
him. There is no doubt they are his, he
has the entire charge of them. When they
get to be steers, he spends all his holidays
in breaking them in to yoke. He gets
them so broken in that they will run like
pair of deer all over the farm, turning the
yoke and kicking their heels, while he fol-
lows in full chase, shouting the OK language
till he is red in the face. When the steers
grow up to be cattle, drover one day comes
along and takes them away, and the boy is
told that he can have another pair of calves;
and so, with undiminished faith he goes
back and begins over again to make
his fortune. He owns lambs and colts in
the same way, and makes just as much out

with difficulty, was led to believe that he
was MORALLY wounded, and in order to pre-
vent his body falling into the hands of the
foe, had CROPPED his way to the river and
thrown himself in the current which had
borne him away.
