THE BEAUTY OF THE SIERRA
NEVADA.

There is no color on the globe compare
BILE with that which robes mountain at a
sufficient distance however rugged and
desoiate the near aspect may be. Move off
to distance of three-seore airy miles when
the atmosphere is favorable, and what
glorious beauty will the line of the Sierra
wear l have seen the vast bulwark thus
from the banks of the Sacramento in the
spring. and once from the summit of Dia-
bio, when they seemed, though ON the
earth, not of it.
All their rocks, their gorges, their preci-
pices, their streams, their desolate patches
which the th-avalanches had torn, their
cliffs their forests their hooks and dells,
the r tortuous roads, all their bulk and saw
ageness reduced to smooth splendor of
color First, purple bar of foot hills just
beyond the dim edge of the immense prairie;
then middle slope of vagne and tender
green; and then crowning all, the golden
snow (gold at that distance) in an unceasing

through the clear air, when we sweep thus
the complete physiognomy of their sum-
mits-here symmetrical peak, there a
long ridge sawed into sharp spikes of
creamy whiteness, and soon huge climb
ing mound of brilliance, showing where the
Carson turnpike leads the adyenturers after
silver, that cannot be polished nor frosted
to such beauty as sheathes It's own tremend-
GUS dome Next to the Himalaya, in Hin
dostan, that ridge bears the most noble
name of all the mountain-chains on the

we see it sixty miles of, under clouds that
mimic its pinnacles and swells, it shows
like vision from another world, like the
street and wall of the New Jerusalem.
Only the colors are in reverse order, as

an earthly medium. First comes the ame-

not at the base, the pure gold, as it

"My PRECIOUS CURVE are to have
grand party on my birthday, which occurs
one week from to night. l will meet youthe
following evening, at seven o'clock, under
the big elm, near the carriage gate.
Forever your own, Bessie"
1t was busy week which followed, and
amidst the hustle and confusion, Bessie
found little time to contemplate the step
she was about to take. But at last the
eventful evening arrived, and was hailed
with joy by all except Bessie. She seemed
sad and melancholy, though she strove to
appear cheerful and happy. She had
some twinges of conscience, and she could
not Danish the thought that perhaps, after
tonight, she might never again enter the
home which had sheltered her in childhood.
Still she had no thought of retracting her
promise to Guy. The party was a grand
success, and Mrs. Grey was happy, for
Harry Carlton was present, and she could
perceive no change in his manner toward
Bessie. So she still cherished the hope of
seeing him Bessie's husband, But within
the next forty eight hours she learned how
vain was her hope.
The next evening Mr.. and Mrs Grey
went to take tea with friend. Bessie de-
clined going, and as her parents supposed

the early arrivals began to appear. The
teams from the country and the incoming
trains were well filed with pleasure seek

brought Company II of the state militia,
who were met at the depot and escorted
to the school house grounds.
The procession as finally formed was
headed by the Plainield band, who gave
evidence of having improved every

came in after the band and they in turn

in town being represented. After march.
