The officer who was detailed by General
Brisbin to make another survey of the
Yellowstone Park has finished the work
and made his report to the War Depart
ment. 1t differs very little from the many
other reports that have previously been
made by civilians. The geysers continue
to play with their ordinary activity, and
the mud volcano is bubbling away AS usu-
al. The paint wells have not been stolen
as yet, and the birthstone mountain is
growing right along, and viii some day.

wealth to the Government, especially il we

great complaint is, however. that the visit
ors to the Park insist on filling their pock-
cts with rare specimens, thereby retarding
the growth OF the calcerous incrustations
us well as deficins the curiosities of nature.
The attention of the Government is also
called o the fact that wild game is disap-
pearing from the Park, and that it c..n
only be restored by the most stringent
measures. As the ground was not set
apart for the better preservation of the
bears and panthers to be found therein.
but as National Park for the benefit OF
the people. and to prevent each particular
geyser and paint well from being pre-
empted and fenced up by enterpri,ing
speculators, the Secretary ef War will
hardly put in standing army to protect
game, especially as that game is wild. and
could not well be induced to obey army
regulations. The spoliation OF The curios-
i,ies, to which the Government's attention

Our WIVES.
The Changes that Oecar in the First
Ten Years OF Married Life.



"A young woman during the first week
of her married life cntertains vague sus-
picions that the statements of older wives,
that the way to mans heart is through
his mouth. are true. Her Charles, who is
almost, if not quite, exempt from hum: n
tailings. has already manifested a profound
admiration for veal pies, and las openly
expressed his DIGESTION to overlone NUT
ton. She accordingly builds up within her
fortress Of resolution. in which to guard
that sacred treasure Of husbands ailec-
ton. In her girlhood this young woman
had spent much time in cultivating her
musical taste, in reading Emerson and
Carlyle; she had been fond of pretty land
scapes, and could use her pencil with et-
feet, and she had been heard to declare
with pride that wheh she married she
would give up none of these things.
Let us visit her now, at the end Of ten
years of matrimony, and we will find that
she has broken her vow and thrown it to
the winds. We find tircsome sort of
person, whose whole intellect is absorbed
IN atten,!ing to tie cares OF housekeeping.
and in getting stylish dresses for her chill
tlren. Her conversation rises seldom
above the level of infant gossip and serv-
ants. and the only ideas developed by time
md experience are expressed in her con-
viction that men are the most unreasona-
ble and selfish creatures, and women TIE
(snin &c
a great evil somewhere, but what is it !?
The husband acknowledges to himself that
he is disappointed in the wife he has chos-
ea. and yet ne finds a difficulty in pointing
out his mistake, and hardly finds cause to
blame her, for is she not faithful wife. a
devoted mother, and fittgsl manager !?
The mistake is a National characteristic
so passionate and intense is the American
mind in pursuit of its temporary interests,
the men will suffer the chains of business
to bind them down and throttle them.
while their wives bend beneath a similar
yoke of duty at home.
..What is lacking is the power to rise
above the petty annoyances of daily life !;
we need to learn to distinguish trifies from
affiirs of moment, to know that every
mole-hill is not a monntaiA. We need not
forsake the upper strata OF sentiment,
thought and ideality-the atmosphere of
the soul-because We know there is bw-
er one Of routine and yexations. in which
our feet are told to tread. TO breath in
the one is to receive strength and refresh
ment for exertion in the other, 1t is a
good plan to pick up needles and pins
from the floor, but picking up pins Ought
not to he made the chief object OF exis-
tence; for if We move along with our
heads constantly downward We most as
suredly will see nothing better than pins
and needles to the end Of our days.

We were impressed net long since with
q brief experience OF a good old man who
was slightly intoxicated, for one night on

on his trembling hands, and the tears
trickltd through his fingers and ran down
his long, gray beard.

Awoke from sweet and pleasing dreams,
And found that angel by her side.

That when he leaves this world of sin,
He'll wing his way to that bright shore,
And find that door Of heaven again.

Nor leave the door of heaven ajar,

The Change was Thin, sazeites were full,
And half the town VI as breaking;

When near the Change my fancy spied
A faded form with hasty stride,
Beneath griers burden STOPPING;
Her name was Credit and she said
Her father, Trade, was lately dead,
Her mother, Commerce, droeping.
The smile that she was wont to wear,
Was wiihered by the hand Of Care,

Her character was gone, she said,
For bssely she had been betrayed,
