A REVELATION WHICH WILL AsToNIsH MOST

 EVERY DAY OCCURRENCE.
 The following communication is from one of our correspondents, Mrs. Carrie E. Martin, a lady well known and highly re- spected and who occupies position of the highest social distinction inWest Ley den, Mass. Her experience is of such a nature and it's importance to many is so great and far-reaching, that we give it to our readers in her own words:
 ''Last summer l was all run down, had chills, no appetite, very little sleep nights and none days, faint spells, trembling feelings and was so weak I could hardly walk around the room. l continued to run down in health and strength until feared utter nervous prostration with it's untold miseries.
 II sent for our town physician and he came good many times. I soon had to give up work entirely, still his medicines did me no good. tried to ride out one morning, but went only few rods and had to come home. My husband then went to church, leaving me with the hired help and my children. Such terrible day as I spent, tongue cannot describe. I could scarcely get from the couch to a chair!
 "When my husband came home from church told him was worse and that I would die if I did not get help soon; that 1 would not take any more of the doctors medicine but try Dr. Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy, if he thought best.
 "He advised me to try it and went inn mediately and got bottle, which began to take; up to this time we knew nothing of it's value except as we had seen it ad- vertsed.

 And Gerrian laughed Pike's laugh at his pun. It was U laugh that had been stunted in it's childhood by the fever and ague, and so had grown up husk with out heart.
 "Have the black caught" said I, ''and we'll clinch the bargain at once." There was q Mexican vaquero slouch- ing about Gerrian called to him.
 "Oh, Hozay! kesty Sinyaw culnprader curwolyow nigereeto. Wamos addel- anty! Corral curwolyose toethoso.'
 Pike Spanish thatl If the Mexicans choose to understand it, why should Pikes study Castilian?
 The bukkarer, as Gerrian's Spanish entitled Hozay, comprehended enough of the order to know that he was to drive up the horses. He gave me a Mexicans sulky stare, muttered ca ramba at my rashness, and lounged of, first taking a lasso from its peg in the court.
 "Come in, stranger" said Gerrian, "before we start, and take a drink of some of this here Mission Dolorous wine.
 "How does that go downY said he, pouring out golden juices into cracked tumbler.
 It was the very essence of California sunshine-sherry with a richness that no sherry ever had-a somewhat fiery bev- craze, but without any harshness or crudity. Age would better it, as age betters the work of a young genius; but still there is something in the youth we would not willingly resign. ssVery fine," said |; ''it is romantic old Spain, with ardent young America interfused."

 went on toiling, day after day, week after week, two good years over that miserable mine. Nothing came of it. I was growing poorer with every ton we dug, poorer with every pound we crush ed.

 The influence came. Bad news reach ed me. My only sister, widow, my only near relative, died, leaving two young children to my care. It was strange how this sorrow made the an- noyance and weariness of my life naugnt! How this responsibility cheered me! My life seemed no longer lonely and pur- poseless. Point was given to all my in- tentions at once. I must return home to New York. Further plans when I am there! But now for home! If any one wanted my quartz mine he might have it. could not pack it in my saddle bags to present to a college cabinet of mineralogy.
 I determined, as time did not abso- lutely press, to ride home across the plains. It is a grand journey. Two thousand miles. or so on horseback. Mountains, deserts, prairies, rivers.

 CHAPTER I.
 GERMANS RANCH.
 A few years ago was working gold quartz mine in California.
 It was a worthless mine, under the conditions of that time. I had been dragged into it by the shifts and needs of California life. Destiny probably meant to teach mo patience and selt possession in difficulty. So destiny tarust me into bitter bad business Of quartz mining.
 If had had countless dollars of cap ital to work my mine, or quicksilver for amalgamation as near and plenty as the snow on the Sierra Nevada, I might have done well enough.
 As it was, got but certain penny worths of gold to most intolerable quantity of quartz. The precious metal was to the brute mineral in the propor tion of perhaps hundred pinheads to the ton. My partners down in San Francisco wrote to me, "Only find twice as many pinheads and our fortune is made" So thought those ardent fellows, fancying that gold would go up and labor go down-that presently would strike vein where the mineral woull show yellow threads and yellow dots. perhaps even yellow knobs, in the crev ices, instead of empty crannies which nature had prepared for monetary de- posits and forgotten to fill.
 So thought the fellows in San Fran cisco. They had been speculating in beef, breadstuffs, city lots, Rincon Point, wharf property, mission lands, Mexican titles, Sacramento boats, pol itics, Oregon lumber. They had been burned out, they had been cleaned out, they had been drowned out. They de- pended upon me and the quartz mine to set them up again. So there was small, steady stream of money flowing up from San Francisco from the depleted coffers of those sanguine partners, flowing into our mine and sinking there, together with my labor and my life. *-#
