A Valuable Religious Work.

The great want of the day has been popular religious work, suited to the comprehension of the masses, which should occupy the broad ground of Or thodox Christianity, and carefully avoid all sectarian issues. This want has been supplied in the work which the National Publishing Go. of Phila- delphia have just issued, entitled ''The Light in the East" It is a handsome octave volume, of $50 pages, illustrated with over 200 fine engravings by the best artists of England and A America.
 The title of the book has been well chosen; since the volume contains a clear and comprehensive condensation of all the blessed light that has dawned upon us from the East. The basis of the work is Fleetwood's Life of Christ, that exquisite production of one of ssthe most brilliant divines of the last cen tury. It tells the story of the Redeem er's life and sufferings, with simple elo- quence and fervor, and is so conserva- tive in it's spirit, that men of all de- nominations have united in cordially endorsing it.
 Following the Life of Christ we have brief, but comprehensive biographies of the Apostles, the Prophets, the Martyrs, and the principal Holy Men and Women of the Jewish dispensation and the early church. They are ad- mirably written, and contain vast amount of entertaining and instructive reading, covering all the ground from St. John to the Reformation.
 Added to these is a history of the Jews, embracing the entire narrative of the Scriptures, and extending it down to the beginning of the present century. This constitutes very attractive feature of the book, and will be eagerly read by all. There is nothing so interesting or thrilling in all the range of romance as the history of the chosen people of God. Then follows series of sketches of the principal religious denominations of the world, in all ages, which is full of instruction and valuable for refer ence. The book closes with 8 Chro- nological table, by means of which the reader is enabled to follow the progress of the Gentle world, whilst Israel was working out her destiny.
 Thus we have in this splendid volume complete and comprehensive library of religious literature. The Editor has ASA Christian to know, and aOuch that is pleasaaat to read of. The book is de- cidedly the most attractive and useful volume of it's kind that we have seen. and is sure to commend itself to every reader. It should have place in every Christian household, for it IS sum- mary of the labors and researches of the most learned Biblical students of the day such men as Dr.. William Smith, Dean Afford, Dr. Brown, the Bishop of Ely, Dean Millman, Dr. Browne, Sir James Ferguson, Lord Arthur Hervey and others, on whom the editor tells us he has drawn freely for his materials: Altogether it is the most thorough and complete book of the day, and will doubtless meet with rapid sale. The Publishers have placed it at such low price that it is within the reach of every one. The work is fer sale by subscrip- tion only, and the publishers wantagents in every county: National S,l Pubighing Bl | CO711

Now, near these springs some very good hotels have been erected, where the charges are quite moderate, and large rustic summer houses have been built here, where visitors can drink the waters and enjoy the mountain breezes. And still must acknowledge that there are more visitors here than had reason to anticipate upon my arrival. They are no longer visitors, for they fear that upon leaving the beautiful climate they may once more become victims to the diseases they suffered before reaching this beautiful region. When I say that at least one-third of Colorado's popu- lation consists of reconstructed invalids. I simply relate fact known to every body who knows anything about this section.
 President Grant himself acknowl- edged this when he passed over the Kansas Pacific Railroad to Denver, having left Kansas City, Missouri, in a special train over that line to visit the mineral springs in this vicinity. He has thus set thefashion, and very shortly we may here look for 8 tide of travel that will surpass the usual hegira from New York to Newport and Saratoga. The ride to this city from Kansas City, the great point of departure from the East, is charming in the extreme. The through express train of the Kansas Pacific road leaves Kansas City every evening at eleven o'clock. The tourist wakes up at Salina for breakfast, after having enjoyed good nights rest in one of Pullmans coaches, dimes at Ellis, sups at Wallace, four hundred miles west of the Missouri River, and upon awakening the next morning he finds himself surrounded by the Rocky Noun tains. Once in the vicinity of Denver and it's numerous mineral springs, he is astonished that he has never been there before, and feels like finding fault with himself for having neglected it so long. Within two hours ride of Denver are the Idaho Hot Springs, besides two frst-class hotel accommodations, and two swimming baths. The temperature of the water is 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and the flow sufficient to supply the two baths with renewed change of water every day. The use of the bath is said to be wonderfully eficacious in cases of rheumatism. I might say great deal more of the novel scenery that met my eye while travelling on the Kansas Pa cifc; of the extraordinary beauties that surround this place and seem to have made Colorado their home but l desist, leaving to future day the task of speaking more at detail of Colorado s probable future and prospects. For the present, let it be trumpeted through all the Eastern States that here is their Switzerland; ; here is their Baden-Baden here is their Monaco. The atmosphere of this territory is something superb the sun does not glare day after day, and delicate individuals may rest here at ease from their tolls in 8 manner such as no other watering-place affords. But not only the invalid; the sportsman, too, can find his Eden here, for within easy reach of Denver are the beautiful "Twin Lakes,' which swarm with speckled trout and, right here, he finds ''The Garden of the Gods,' Gray's Peak, Pike's Peak, and Cheyenne Canon. But of this more anon.~

Scenes on the Kansas Pacific Road.
 A correspondent of New York jour- nal, writing from Colorado, says The territory of Colorado is situated between the thirty-seventh and forty second de- grees of north latitude, and between the thirty and thirty-seventh meridians of longitude west from Wash ington, and embraces an area of 1O5, 708 square miles, or 67, 7,653, 12O acres-be- ing little more than one-half of the extent of the French Republic. In shape it is nearly square, having for it's northern boundary the Territory of Wyoming and State of Nebraska, while the great garden State of Kansas lies on the east, New Mexico on the south, and the home of the Latter-Day Saints on the west.
 Denver, where am now writing, is at the foot of the snow-capped "Shin- ing Mountains" and is surrounded by the most wonderful mineral springs. One of these, the Galen Spring, con- tains an ounce of medicated matter to every four gallons of water. Professor Thomas M. Drown, M. D., gave the following analysis of the above spring, as compared with the Krahuchen Spring, at Ems, and Seltzer Spring, at Nassau, the two most celebrated springs in FUrODe.

Two noted literary men died in New York city, last year, and it was supposed they both died poor. Each received a salary amounting to more than $3, 900 8 year, for many years before he died. In one instance it was necessary to take up a collection among the friends of the deceased to obtain the necessary funds for burial expenses. In the other case, while the dead man lay in the house, a friend searching through his private papers found life insurance policy for $5,O0O.. The last premium had been paid by friend while the man was in good health. Do not neglect to insure your life. Do it now, and we recom- mend the old New York Life Insurance Company as one of the very best com panies to insure in. Send to the home office, 34S Broadway, New York, for all necessary papers.-COn1.

What the Politicians Say of the Farm
 CTS, Movement.

Western Congressmen, politicians, and railrord men, visiting Washington during the recess of Congress, are be- set with questions by the officials here, concerning the real force and future of the so-called farmers movement. With surprising unanimity the opinion is given-though often confdentially- that the affair has spent it's strength al- ready, and has accomplished nothing more than an unsettling of the values of railroad property for the time being. The reasons given for the opinion that the movement is. virtually dead, are several among them, that the original borne by the agricultural interest were those which were true, erroneous causes dies proposed and applied are wrong and inipracticable in result. It is explained that the reported membership of the real number, but that the true figures presenting 8 solid, determined body oi men, with set purpose and a resolve to accomplish it. A considerable proper tion of the membership consists oi those who enter into all popular move ments under the spur of temporary ex- citement, and who subside into inactiv- ity as soon as they are in, while 8 small Ter proportion have no indentifcation o1 | interest with the farmers, but are on the | right side in case the movement should become a power in politics. It is very evident that the movement commands very little respect or sympathy from the present-time placemen of the Western States, and these latter are, so far, very little frightened at the prospect of dis placement by the farmers candidates of the future
