MISS GREY, OF SANDY GULCH

MID UhEI, VI chNDI " CAS<h'
"Sandy Gulch! You as don't stop
here git breakfast" We had deter
mined to stop here, and had kept this
spot in view as an objective point dur
ing several hundred miles of stage jour
neying. There is something wearisome
in six days continual stage riding-be-
comes slightly monotonous in twenty
four hours cramped up in corner,
unable to lie down or get good stretch,
is trial to the patience of the ordinary
American.
We cannot present an active-looking
picture of our fellow-trayelers to your
mind-they were all too stiff and sore,
and We might say out of. humor.. The
man who could rest his head anywhere
and sleep was an object of envy and dis
trust, and general desire was felt by
each wakeful one to pinch the man
driving you mad with delicious snores.
Twas at time when our nerves, de-
tached and shaken up, and our very
brains slosning around, we heard the
Welcome sound, Sandy Gulch %
Not very beautiful name, nor, as we
poked our heads out Of the coach win
dow, did it look to be particularly
charming. Two hundred or more
miners cabins that seemed to have
started from the stage station and got
lost in all sorts of places along the
Gulch; odd little boxes of houses
perched up on the very top of an i'm
mense rock, or nesting close to their
mossy sides, down by the roaring noun
tain stream, or far up ON the mountain
side, as the airy fancy of the rough
owner in fee simple dictated.
The "main house" of the Gulch was
at the" Bar. and the bar was at the
main bouses. - - - TIE L1tSlA
The broad stretch Of golden sands,
washed BY the heavy rains from. the
mountains and deposited near the mouth
OF the Gulch, gave the place its name.
The Overland" always stopped at the
main house, we suppose on account of
the bar. The coming of sksggs, Jim
Jones and Boss Myers was something

of welcoming Congressional aspirants,
members of the Legislature and that old
maid school-dame.
As the maid neared us, We saw a
brown hood with blue lining, and the
sweetest face it had ever been our for
tune to look upon. The eye so clear
and laughing, the fair shiny hair-not
dead, but vivacious, smiling hair-a
sweet little mouth, whose lips looked
the very couch of love, her face soft and
round like child's. ..F
We were absolutely overcome and in
active. The crowd did not try to sup
press their JOY, but gave prolonged
shout of welcome "Ain't she a stun
ner, though :" "Pwettyer than chunk
of pure gold!' "Darned if ever seed
anything SO trim !" We're some few of
the compliments that greeted her, while
we stood rooted to the ground. Mr..
May had advanced hat in hand and of
fered her word of quiet welcome. We
could say nothing. Some commonplace
remark filed moment, and We went to
our Office to write an article on "Popu-
lar Education" and fattering notice
of her arrival. Then we began to think
we had been hasty in leaving SO soon.
This was probably the greatest editorial
error we ever made. We did not think
how much effect a kind word or quiet
. act of attention would have, or we too
should have carried her bundles to Mrs.
SINNERS, where she was to board But
we did not, and Mr.. May did.
The summer passed.
And with it each day, to the little
school-house up the Gulch, passed Miss
Grey. The mountains were glorious in
their varied hues of autumn. And
Miss Grey was equally lovely in her
beauty.
Why was it our heart beat more rap
idly and our tough cheek glowed when
she came near?
Why did We feel SO backward about
coming forward and walking home with
Miss Grey, as she came each evening
down the little path, swinging her sun
bonnet by the strings?
He was not backward, but cool and
self possessed. He met her and walked
where we so much wanted to be-by her
side. We discovered that we dishked
Mr.. May. He was growing absolutely
odious to us. We never saw him walk
ing slowly up the Gulch toward the
school-house that we did not have this
feeling. -
We came from our walk, one evening
in the early spring, and saw Mr.. May
placing blossoms III her hair, and then
kiss her
Well, we sigh as We think of it, there
in the wild West, SO near where the sun
set on our love years ago.
People spoke of his goodness, and one
red-shirted admirer had sworn in oul
presence that "he'd die for that ere
preacher. You ought seed him, mis-
ter; just ought seed the way he
nursed my prdner when he got cut VI
at Peters Bailic-him and that school
marin helpin' him." Aye, We fount
we disliked him-because he liked her
We found that with perfect harmony
of soul these hearts had met and min
gled.
We are alone. Rev. Milton May wol

Once fell in distiller's vat,
And thus addressed passing cat:
/" Assist me out of this pray, s
Oh, gentle puss, nor turn away"
Her feline nature bade her stay.
+" Yes, will help you out, !" said she,
F" If first, my friend, you'll promise me
My willing dinner then to be-"
The rat was sinking. Quick as thought
He gave the promise and was caught,
And safely from the vat was brought.
But fumes from out the vat
Went up the nose Of tabby cat,
Who sneezed, and sneezed again. At that
The rat took heart and legs and fed,
And reached point safe overhead.
Then tween her sneezes Tabby said:
" For shame ,cachew y you said (cachew9
You'd be my din (caehew y ner. You

A glance at the above statement will
show that there was a falling off of
about $1,000, 900 per month in the re-
ceipts for October and November, as
compared with those of July, August,
and September. Stated precisely, the
average receipts per month for the first
quarter of the current fiscal year were

Sc, ,822 255, being difference of 81 ,902,-

Nav having been mostly collected for
the current year in May AMI June, In
stead of July and August, rs heretofore,
there is no reason why August and Sep
tember should have been greater than
the average receipts for October and
November, except the financial depres-
sion referred to. 1t is evident, there
fore, that the receipts for October and
November were nearly four millions
less than they would have been but for
the disturbance in financial affairs. But
from the last week in November up to
the present time there has been n steady
increase in receipts, coming up, for
the month of December, to 81, ,O12, 984,

VIOLENT DEATHS IN NEW YORK
The records of the Coroners of New
York city for 1873, says the Tribune,
show that, as usual, the work of these
officers has mainly consisted in the in
vestigation of the causes of deaths
which, upon testimony being taken,
were found to have been accidental.
Moreover, the proportion of homicides
was comparatively small, only one a
week, while seh-destruction was almost
double that rate. The following is a
tabulated statement of the causes of
deaths concerning which inquests were
held:
