attention to it. 1t is worthy a Jour-
ney from Chicago, and, as I heard a
gentleman here say, "a journey
from Europe" just to behold a
scene so startling and lovely.
From the junction, for ten miles,
there is descent of about eighty
feet to the mile, and in moving
down such a grade as that, as may
well be imagined, the aid of steam
is not required. During this mad
ride the road crosses four or five
trestle bridges upwards of a hun
drcd feet in height, the view from
waich is highly stimulating to the
Imagination, to say the least. We
had three ladies aboard and six
children; these were the only pas
sengers besides myself, and the
urchlns howled so that | was tempt
ed to throw few of Il EN- out of
the window. No words of mine
can describe the augustness of the
scenery as we dashed along on the
brink of dark ravines and over deep
chasms, and by the side of rocky
precipices and thickly wooded hills,
with the tremendous rapids of the
81. Louis river toaming, and roaring,
and racing through the forest with
the speed of a whirlwind far down
below our feet. 1t was a glorious
spectacle, and | wish that it were
in my power to give you a better
| idea of it. J. EsAIAs WARREN.

Country Social Life.

Country folks are generally so fully oe.
cupied with affairs that they have no time
10 discover how lonesome they really are
So for as this is concerned we think il a
misfortune. We are too busy. We
work too hard We take few or no holi
days. We read and think too little, aud
do not spend sufficient time in social eul.
ture. There is no reason why those who
pillow the soil or "whose talk is of bull
ocks" should not experience the Seine
ments which are the result of formal SO
cial life. In business, at bargains, in
pursuit Of dollars, no man is seen at his
best. He is thorny, spiny, with his back
up as porcupine at his business. Let
one doff his working clothes and enter u
room full of his neighbors-men, women,
young men and maidens--he is man of
another kind He naturally falls into the
ways of an intuitve kindness which is
really the trucst politeness the doing to
his companion what he would that he
should do to him He "lets himself OUT
to please, and, after an evening spent in
social converse, he retires with many
rough corners and asperites toned down
For few days the influence remains.
1t would be permanent if it could be rein
forced now and then, and the good results
would be most agreeable and useful.
There is no difficulty in bringing these
good influences to bear. Two or three
persons, with energy and some magnetism
about them, can put them III motion with |
ease. Now is the time to begin the eff

Horses Sore Backs.

Some years ago it fell my lot to dress
the sore backs Of lot of station horses.
The plan followed was washing the
sores with warm water and busting them
with washing soda. Instead of merely
crushing the soda, heated it in an iron
plate over the fire till all the moisture vas
evaporated, and it fell into impalpable
powder. So treated, the soda busted
