Snow That Disappears Like Dew

II have seer four feet of snow fall in
eight hours" said Conductor Cobb, Of
the Maine Central, land yet it was so
light that you could wade through it
just a. you can through water. 1t was in
the Sierra Nevada Mountains-a sort
Of frost-like snow that falls in the
night, burying everything. Twelve feet
away from another man you can just
see him, with a sort of halo around
him as though somewhere the sun was
shining through the storm. In these
storms it is impossible to tell direction
or distance from camp. In the morning
we walked down into town. One man
kept ahead breaking the snow, which
came nearly to his armpits, rs he moved
through It. He would tread until tired,
when he would drop to the rear and
some one else would lead the process
sion. As we walked into the valley 1t
grew less. and down below in the town
there had been no snow, and oil the
time the sun or the stars had shona.
Such a snow goes like the ~dew-disap-

Timely TOPICS.

There Is nothing that will help you
more in keeping order than to fill up
the whole time of every pupil with USE
full, interesting work.
With all the improved methods. fine
school houses and abundant apparatus
the fact remains that the school is what
the teacher makes it.
Start your school rs you intend to
continue. Say but little about rules.
Have it understood that you expect
good behavior and hard work, and that
while there is no departure from these,
there will be no need of interference on
your part.
Do you think you are teaching when
you assign a certain portion Of the
book to be learned and then, in the reel
tation, sit and compare the pupils an
swers with the language in the book?
If you do you are mistaken, You are
starving yourself as we'll as your pupils.
There is an oblique way Of reproof,
which takes off the sharpness of it and
all address in flattery which makes it
agreeable, though never SO gross; but
of all fiatterers the most skillful is he
who can do what you like without say
ing anything which argues he does it
for your sake.
Many pupils to come to a stand
still when they are introduced to stud
les that depend on well-trained mental
powers. In such cases the training has
been defective. They have been ac-
customed to take in the words and ideas
of others without being able to make
them their own. They have not been
taught to think and reason and can
make no progress in studies in which
thinking and reasoning are necessary.

more than once causing us to think rebel
shell was calling for us.
The road was over aud through mount
ain, down around and through deep gullies,
among rocks and hedges on one hand and
deep chasms on the 0thef; or, at least, that
was the way it looked to us as we caught
the surroundings by the lightning flashes,
after we would just escape running into
some deep gully newly made by the dashing
rain, which was pouring down all the live
long night, and rs it swept down the mount
ain with terrible force, and volume. AL
though the lightning was very trying, it
saved us some falls and bruises by it's fire.
uuent flashes in our very faces as we were
about 20 run into some washed-out places
in the road. The tremendous peals of
thunder which followed the frequent flashes
were enough to awe the stoutest heart, let
alone the continued rain, which seemed to
come down in waves like the rolling ocean.
We were wet to the very marrow of our bones,
and our horses were even worse off than
ourselves; travelling for upwards of 10 hours
at break-neck speed, hardly at any time at
less than a trot, having had little or no feed,
it was n wonder more did not fall exhausted.
During all this fearful ride scarcely q
word was spoken-we were too wet for
utterance" besides, we were none too well
content with our position, not knowing but
what our guides had played us false, OF we
should at any time come up standing in
rear or flank of Lees army. 1t was time
when the stOutest hearts might fail. The
dawn of daylight WAS never more welcome
to man and beast than the 9Th Of July.
At about just daylight we were at the
of al nd nff hn
mountain pass. The rain now ceased, and
we had some coffee and light feed for our
horses, and shaking our wet clothing and
rearranging our saddles and equipments, we
were again ready for the work in hand.
We found that Lees wagon train had passed
two hours before our arrival. We were
now in rear of Lees army and on his direct
route of retreat.
We remained in this place during the
day, sending out scouts on each road, and
picking up struggling wagons and pris-
oners. By evening we had more prisoners
than we had men in tho regiment, besides a
long string Of wagons. Just before dark
we moved into Hagerstown. The people
of this place were very much surprised to
see Yankees in between the wagOn-train
and Lees army. We had not been in
Hagerstown very long before Col. Preston
sighted Longsireet's Corps with his cavalry
in advance.
Not wishing to make our presence known,
we took the road to Boonsboro, which place
we reached at a. m. with our plumber and
prisoners. Here communication was estab-
-lished between Buford and Fitzpatrick, whom
it was arranged that Buford should try to
destroy Lees train at Williamsport, while
Fitzpatrick would take his division to
