Hundreds of thousands OF years ago the
mountain was heaved up as nature labored.
The dark-mouthed canyon was made then,
and every half hour since it has been spot
for even serpents to avoid. You may 60
down into a grave and still have the sun
shine on your shoulder and still hear the
hum of the world about you. Here, before
we have taken 80 steps, both sunshine and
the light of day are lost to us. Outside the
heat is like the glow of furnace. In here
we SILVER with the cold. Six searchers-
five torches. At spots the way is clear, as
If Travelled by men; again we must dodge
around or climb over powders and rocks
which are wet and Shiny and black as if
painted. There is daylight far overhead
there are even stars to be seen as one stands
and looks up-but down here is such dark
ness as you never dreamed of. 1t seems to
be substance, like cloth, and to shut down
on the torches until the life goes out of the
flame. Since God looked down upon earth
there has been no daylight here-never ray
of sunshine or breath of summer. It has
been ever as we find it nova spot so dark
and damp and lonely that the world would
pity murderer chained to one of these
black rocks for single hour.
On and on, but we saw no signs that Sergt.
Tom had passed. We had gone thousand
feet into the bowels of the mountain when
we suddenly came upon him. He was seated
on rock, face in his hands and head down,
and as we drew nearer we heard him mutter-
ing. He heard our footsteps, but did not
look up.
"Come, sergeant!" said the lieutenant, as
he laid his hand on the mans shoulder.
The sergeant looked up and smiled and
babled and gestured.
"Be careful with him-his mind is gone,
poor fellow"
We led him out of the horrible tomb and
the chill of death into the blessed light of
day, but he did not seem to realize the
change. One comrade after another spoke
to him and turned away to hide his tears,
but the sergeant muttered and whispered
and looked about him with vacant express
sion. We carried him to the fort, but
reason had been dethroned, and the hours
he had spent in that awful place brought
death within week.
What was in the letter which he never
opened, and which we found almost soak
ing wet in the pocket of his wooden shirt?
1t was opened after his death. Perhaps it
was better that his eyes did not trace the
lines and his mind absorb the words there
written. There was story of a mothers
faithlessness and of child's death and of a
husbands dishonor, and his cup had been
full before that letter came. He were better
dead before his soldier heart was broken

Garland.

This vicinity seems to be especially
marked out for accidents this winter. Mrs.
Stevens, living west of Garland, who fell
down stairs short time ago, is doing as
we'll as could be expected, considering her
age-Mrs. Darling, living west of Car
land, who broke one of her legs not long
since is as comfortable as she can be under
her affiictiOn-TimOthy Colby, living at
Garland, had the misfortune to break his
leg one day last week, and on account of
his old age he will no doubt have hard
time of it--Mrs. j. Richmond yesterday
morning slipped and fell from their stoop,
hurting herself quite badly-Mrs. E..
Tyler died last Thursday and was buried
last Friday--Mrs. Christopher Scott is
having quite bad time with her finger,
caused by small cut with a rusty tin.
from which blood poison developed. DIR.
Arnold, of Owosso, is treating her.
