peaks, resplendent in the moonlight,
shone with a brilliancy made greater
by the contrast with the deep black
valleys in front of them On all sides
were mountains, some sparkling white
with snow and frostwork, others black
with evergreens. The utter desolation
of the scene brought to mind the re-

except in the shelter of the house.
Saturday morning was almost per-
feetly clear and still. The rising sun
shed rosy hue far and wide, and when
fairly above the horizon. the conical
shadow of Mount Washington was
plainly visible against the western sky.
Such morning is seldom seen there.
The ocean appeared like golden lake
under the sun, while with good field
glass the main shore could be- distinctly
seen for MANY miles.
At nine o'clock we took leave of the
signal men, whose hospitality and kind
ness made the visit one that We shall
not soon forget. The first part of the
descent was made by sliding over the
frozen snow with the help or an Alpine
stock. But this was too good TO last.

only snow, and not ice. on the track.
The thermometer was ten degrees be-
low zero when We started, and though
only two degrees above at the base,
yet the perfect stiffness made the air
feel like summer. just before reaching
the bottom, we turned and took a last
look. On either side the pine trees
were one mass of frost sparkling in the
sunshine, while in front of us the great
white mountain seemed TO stretch to
the sky. and the little railroad winding

How a Widow sizes up a Man.

There is any amount of fun in
courtirg a young girl who has not
been used to it. She swallows the
soft things a fellows says, but when
it comes TO popping the question,
or something of that kind, she gets
frightened more or less and wants
time to consider, until there are
enough loopholes for a lover to slip
out through without the least oft
of trouble. Young girls are tlmld
and shy in earnest. aud If a young
fellow is not pretty certain he has
found precisely the angel he is look

Tue interval between the promise

Her spirit is serene, tranquil. She
has not the support which is Offer

strikes the child bruises her own
heart. The mother of my children
adores them-there is no milder
term for 1t; and they worship her;
they even worship anything which
her hand has made sacred. They
know her for the truest friend they
have ever had, or shall
ever have; they know her for
one who never did them a wrong,
who never deceived them by even
an ambiguous gesture; who never
gave them an unreasonable COM

treacherously-reared boy and that
wordy, nanby pamby mother,
is enough to make one ashamed OF
his species. And, if could cry,
would cry for the fate of that poor
little boy-a fate which has cruelty

have his disposition ruined, to come
