he says : " Live so that good angels mayprotect you from that terrible evil the win-

A Quakeress in a Hurry.An amusing matrimonial story is told

of the olden time of New England. It sofell out that two young people becameattached to each other, as young people-sometime- s

do. The young woman's fatherwas a wealthy Quaker, the young man was" poor but respectable.'' The father couldstand no such union, and resolutely op-

posed it, and the daughter dared noj dis-

obey openly. She met him by moonlight,while she pretended never to see him, andshe pined and wasted in spite of herself.She was really in love a state of sighsand tears, which women oftner reach inimagination than reality. So? the fatherremained inexorable. Time passed on,and tiw? rose of Mary's damask cheekpassed off! She let not concealment, likea worm in the bud, prey on that damaskcheek, however ; but ' when her fatherasked her why she pined, she always toldhim. The old gentleman was a widower,and loved his girl dearly. Had it been awidowed mother who had Mary in charge,a woman's pride never would have givenway before the importunities of a daugh-ter. Men are not, however, so stubbornin such matters, and when t"H) father sawthat his daughter's heart was really setupon the match, he surprised her one dayby breaking out : " Mary, rather thanmope to death, thou hast better marry asthee choosest and when thee pleases."

And what did Mary? Wait till thebirds of the air had told her swain of thechange, or till her father had time tochange his mind again? Not a bit of it,She clapped her neat, plain bonnet on herhead, walked directly to the house of herintended as the street could carry her.She walked into the house without knock-ing for knocking was not fashionablethen and she found tho family just sittingdown to dinner. Some little commotionwas exhibited at so unexpected an appari-tion as an heiress in the widow's cottage,but she heeded it not. John looked upinquiringly. She walked to him and tookhis hand in hers. " John," said she," father says I may have thee." AndJohn got directly up from the dinner tableand went to the parson's. In just twenty-fou- r

minutes they were man and wife.

Acrofli the Cotiwt The UnionPacific Railroad.

A correspondent of the Chicago Repub-

lican, who accompanied a recent excursionparty over the union Pacific Railroad tothe lOOdth parallel of longitude, has writ-

ten a ful? account of the road, which is ofsuch interest that we copy the materialparte. It should be premised that anotherPacific railroad is in rapid progress duewest from Kansas City. 200 miles south ofthe Platte valley route described below.This lower route is the one in which StLouis has the most interest, as it is an ex-

tension of the Pacific Railroad of Missourithe directors of each, however, are vig-

orously striving to reveh the Rocky Moun-

tains with their tracl beibrv ths other.KOCTE OF THE CXIOX PACIFIC.

The Union Pacific Railroad, commencingat Omaha follows the valley of the Platteriver for 550 miles, or to the base of theRocky Mountains. One mouth of the riv--v

er is 15 miles below Omaha, and to reachthe Platte valley the road makes a detournine miles southwest, and then follows thenatural valley formed by this river. Par-

taking of the nature of a prairie, the val-

ley, as it extended westward, has been formany years considered an arid plain. Itcovers an area of about 5,000 square miles,and varies in width from three to twentymiles. North of the valley the country isa rolling prairie, gradually decreasing infertility, as it extends northwesterly to theBritish provinces, where the intense rigorand length of the winter, as well as sandysoil, have almost destroyed all vegetablelife. The railroad follows the north bankof the Platte for 300 miles and then acrossthe north fork, and up the north side of thesouth fork, to its head waters, at the footof the Rocky Mountains.

LAXD GRAXTd.

The land grants of the Pacific road arethe finest ever given to a railroad. Onehalf the land for 20 miles upon both sides,with the right to locate at any point theamount they do not get on the last end,where the title is not now in government.This will make them the owners of the en-

tire valley, after they get out beyond thesurveyed and located lands, which proba-bly do not extend over 100 miles, for alllands on the then surveyed line are with-

drawn from the market until they get whatthey desire. So far they have no landstaken up except at whatever stations theyneeded for immediate use, and in locatingthese at random they are safe, for they willget the title whenever they desire it, andthe cities, towns, villages, and farm3. aretheirs, to locate, to sell, and to build up.Durant can literally say, as he rides outwith his iron horse into the howling wild-erness, and startles the Indian from hislair : " I am monarch of all I survey ; myrights there are none to dispute.''

TIMBER FOR CONSTRUCTION.

When Dr. Durant announced one yearago that he wanted 1.000,000 cross ties forimmediate use, and 5,000.000 in two yearseverybody laughed at the idea. " Theymust be had.? he replied, 'I will havethem." Every source was applied to, soonparties agreed to furnish lots, but theywere bringing in cottonwood a speciesof timber like unto pumpkin or cucumber

which looked well enough, but had areputation for not being reliable overnight. But tho resources of man are asendless as his desires are boundless." Bring on your cottonwood," said Durant

and up the Missouri; and down the Mis-

souri; and out of a thousand ravines andgulches ; rang the sound of the invader'sax, and soon came a perfect torrent of oak,cedar, and cottonwood ties. e

To make the latter available, an ironboiler 100 feet long, and five feet in diam-eter, was brought into requisition. It wasfilled with ties, and the apertures beingclosed, a steam engine exhausted the air,which emptied the pores of the wood whena solution of zinc was injected, which, per-meating the fibers, hardens the wood, andupon drying gives it well nigh a metallicappearance and weight, which guaranteesits durability for about twelve years. 850,-00- 0

ties and telegrapli poles have alreadybeen laid by the company, and 150,000more must go down, ere the work ceasesfor the winter 2.500 to the mile, and ex-

tra for sidings.The company have constructed water

stations at convenient distances. Water 13

easi'y obtained all along the road.THE TRACK.

The company are now running 21 loco-

motives, and next summer will increase itto 100. They now employ but 300 cars,but in less than a year will have use for2,000.

The road will be divided into workingdivisions of about 130 miles each, and al-

though the same cars will run from theAtlantic to the Pacific without any changeof their freight, the engines will only runover one division.

The loam and sand make an excellentbank for the track, and the surface form-

ing a kind ot pate, does not easily turninto dust, and soon covers over withgrass ; thus in a great measure keepingdown the dust, which is such a terribleplague to all travelers. It is the inten-tion of the company to ballast the entirelength of the road with finely brokenstone, similar to the Pennsylvania CentralRailroad. On their reaching the RockyMountains they will send their returnloads of stone ou all their constructiontrains.

0In thi part of Oregon it is a rare scene to

witness the falling of snow, but the follow-ing, which we clip from an Eastern exchange,will not be entirely out of season for someof our readers:

Goes the lily-foote- d snowBeating ermineown below

Down belowTo the chJIIr, naked earth ;To the brooklet by the mill,

Lying still Q OI can see anear my hearthEvery pretty blossom flake

Wide awake, O"While the stricken woods are dumb

W hen rL ey come.

Ob, there's langnagern the snow I

How it dances! se it go!See it go !

Every starry flake a voice, QThough it utters ne'er a word,

Can be heard ;

Yet the gentle winds rejoice,Fprthey hear the inner strain ;

And againTo the dreamingheart it calls

As it fallsTo the listening soul that yearnsFor the beautiful, and teamsMysteries the baser-bor- n

Laugh to scorn.

Goes the lily-foote- d snow,31oving thoughtfully and slow

Moving slow ;

Wraps it rev'rently the graveWhere, ne'er lifting her blue eyes,

Hattiehes,Like stalactite in a cave,Or a little vein of gold

None behold ;

Like a star that wears a cloudFor its shroud.

Flakes one by one ;

Slower, slower; they are done,As afraid to break her sleep.

Silence keep.

Who Rob Orchards. In a certain vil-

lage in the far West was an atheist. Hewas an admirer of Dale Owen and FannyWright ; but he could see no beauty in theChristian religion. Of course, he neverentered any place of worship. In fruitseason he was specially busy on the Sab-

bath in defending his orchard from hisgreat enemies, the wood pecker, and theidle, profligate persons of the village, whoon that day usually made sad havoc amonghis apples and peaches.

One day while at work with his son-in-la- w,

an atheist like himself, although amost kind and courteous gentleman as apastor of a congregation was passing, hevery rudely thus accosted the minister :

" Sir. what's the use of your preaching ?

What good do you do by it ? Why don'tyou teach these fellows better morals?Why don't you tell them something aboutstealing in your sermons, and keep themfrom robbing my orchard ?rJ

To which the minister pleasantly re-

plied :

4 My dear sir I am very sorry you areso much annoyed, and I would most wil-

lingly read the fellows who rob your or-

chard a lecture on thieving, but the truthis. they are so like you and the Majorhere, that I never get a chance."

" Good, good,'' replied the Major laugh-ing, on which the elder atheist blushed alittle, and, in an apologetical tone, said :

' Well, well, I believe it is true enough,it is not the church going people thatsteal my apples.1'

Beautiful, Sextimext. I confess thatincreasing years bring with them an in-

creasing respect for men who do not suc-

ceed in life, as these word are commonlyused. Heaven is said to be a place forthose who have not succeeded on earth ;

and it is surely true, celestial graces donot best thrive in and bloom in the hotblaze of worldly prosperity. Ill successsometimes arises from a superabundanceof qualities in themselves good from aconscience too sensitive, a taste too fastidi-

ous, a ss too romantic, amodesty too retiring. I will not go so faras to say, with a living poet : " That theworld knows nothing of its greatest men."But there are forces of greatness or, atleast, excellence which " die and make nosign ;" there are martyrs that miss thepalm, but not the stake ; heroes withoutthe laurel, and conquerors without thetriumph.

Police Beat. The other day, a wellknown citizen of St Louis, who has thereputation of being something of a wag,rushed into. the Central Station and re-

ported that on the night previous a fellowcame stalking into his house stark naked,and that he was unable to put him out,and that he was there yet Three Police-

men at once started on the run to oust theintruder. When they got into the housethey asked to see the fellow that came inthere the night before. The nurse broughtout the baby, which the citizen's wife hadpresented him with the night before. Thepolicemen suddenly disappeared.

Refextaxt. Deacon S. waa very fondof bivalves, and on one occasion he ateand overloaded his " capacity" to such anextent that he was sore distressed. Hisfaith in prayer, however, was strong.Leaving hia party, and being followed bysome younger members a little way off, hewas heard to supplicate thus : " Forgiveme, O Lord, for this sin of gluttony, and Iwill never eat any more clams!" Then,pausing an instant, lie added " Very few,Jfany amen!'

One week to go from Wallstreet, spend a day in a Colorado goldmine, and return to the Broker's Board.

PROSECUTION Of THE WORK.

But turning back to the end of the trackreaching away out over the Tlains, wefind grading parties at work for a distanceof 100 miles beyond the end of the rail ;

75 miles are ready for the ties, exceptsome small gaps that will be filled up inample time. There is a bridge to be builtover the north fork of the Platte, but thatis already partly done, and will cause nodelay.

The track has been laid this summer atthe average rate of one mile and six-tent- hs

per day for every working day inthe month, and making no allowance forrainy days or want of material. Threehundred miles of rails, chairs, etc., havebeen taken up the Missouri this summerand landed at Omaha.

Before the work is stopped this month(October) 325 miles will be in running or-

der. By January 1st the Chicago andNorthwestern will have completed theirroad to Council Blulfs, when all the futurematerial of the Union Pacific will passthrough Chicago on the way to Omaha.

The item of freights up the narrow andtortuous channel of the Missouri has beenan enormous one. To get engines andcars up from St. Joseph (from which pointnearly all the freight was taken) a boathad to be constructed on purpose, and sobuilt as to draw only three feet of water.It cost to transport engines from the shopsin the East, where they were built, from$1,700 to $2,200 each, and cars from $250to $1,000 each. It is evident that all railcommunications next summer will reducethe item of freights from 30 to 40 percent While no road has ever been socheaply graded, none have ever beenbuilt under so many disadvantages andexpenses, and the whole world may welllook on with wonder at the almost magicbuild of 28(5 miles now in running order..The vonder is increased as you look uponthe map and see it built afar off from janyother railroad, and only the Missouri riverto furnish a channel for supplies.

For the last six months the railroadcompany has had four corps of engineersfeeling around for a pass through theRocky Mountains. No route has yet beenadopted. Jlolliday's overland mail nowstarts at Fort Kearny, 175 miles fromOmaha, passengers and mails going thatdistance on the railroad. From Kearnythe stages keep on the south side of thePlatte until they reach Denver City. Apontoon bridge has been sent up the road,and will be thrown over the river at Cot-

tonwood, and the. connection with theroad at Fort Kearny be abandoned onNovember 5th, thus saving 80 miles ofstaging, and leaving only 48 hours ofstages from the road to Denver City.When the road stops for the winter it willprobably have reached Julesburg, and thetransfer be made at that point, leavingabout 3( hours of stages for the next threemonths.

THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSIOXERS.

The Pacific railway is especially favoredamong American railway enterprises, be-

cause of the existence of natural obstaclesand bulk of undertaking that would restfatally on any embarking of private capi-tal in the work. It could not be builtwithout government aid. The govern-ment has appointed its commissioners tosupervise and examine every mile of trackbefore it is accepted.

THE BUSINESS ASPECT.

It la very difficult to estimate the business of the Pacific road. Colorado. Utah,and Montana, have a population of a quar-ter of a million. In 18G4 it was estimatedupon very carefully prepared data that40.000,000 pounds of freight were carriedover the Plains in wagons. In 1865 it in-

creased to 200,000,000 pounds., and em-ployed 9.000 wagons, 50,000 cattle, 16,000horses and mules and 10.000 men as driv-ers, guards, etc.", making the cost for freightalone last year nearly enough to pay $50,-00- 0

mile for the construction of theroad. Thousands of passengers were ear-ie- d

at $175 head from the Missouri toColorado, and $3-3- 0 to Salt Lake. Nowthe Overland Stage Company charge $125from Omaha to Denver. $250 to Salt Lakeand about $400 through to California. Ifthe Pacific railroad charge one half thoserates they will double and quadruple thefreight and passenger business, ana makethe road profitable the first year this, in-

world pass you with scarcely a lookYou may be forced to toil

Death may sever the dear tiesthat bind you to earth, and leave you intearful darkness. That noble, manly boy,the sole hope of your declining years, maybe taken from you, while your spirit clingsto him with a wild tenacity, which eventhe shadow of the tomb cannot whollysubdue. Amid all those sorrows, do notcome to the conclusion that nobody wasever so deeply afflicted as you are, andabandon the anticipation of better daysin the unknown future. Do not loose yourfaith in human excellence, because confi-

dence has sometimes been betrayed, nopbelieve that friendship was only a delusionand love a bright phantom which glidesaway from your grasp. Do pot think thatyou aro fated to be miserable, because youare disappointed in your expectations andbaffled in your pursuits. Do not declarethat God has forsaken you when your wayis hedged about with thorns, or repine sin-

Pride. Pride is as great a beggar aswant, and a great deal more saucy. Whenyou have bought one fine thing you mustbuy ten more, that your appearance maybe all of a piece ; but poor Dick says, 'tiseasier to suppress the first desire than sat-

isfy all that follow it And it is as trulyfollyor the poor to ape the rich as forthe frog to swell in order to ape the ox,

Vessels large may venture more, butlittle boats should keep near shore." Itis, however, a folly son punished ; for aspoor Dick says, " pride that dines on van-- i

ity sups on contempt Pride breakfastedwith plenty, diped with po verty, and sup-ped with infamy." And after all, of whatuse is this pride of appearance for whichso much is suffered ? It cannot promotehealth nor ease pain ; it makes no increaseof merit in the person ; it creates envy, ithasteqs misfortune. Franklin.

Pkettt Waiter Girls. The worthygentlemen who pieside over the municipalaffairs of the metropolis of the Pacific ap-

pear to be exceedingly susceptible to theblandishments of the gentler sex. Conduct nor condition is by them taken intoconsideration when passing an ordinance

if such ordinance in any way affects women even if they have fallen into a lagerbeer cellar. It was quite amusing to seethe struggle between interest and inclina-tion exhibited by some of the " honorablemembers" on Monday night, when the or-

dinance to permit the pretty waiter girlsaloons to keep open till two o'clock inthe morning was under discussion. Thedemoralizing effects of the places wherethese girls are employed to allure custom-

ers could not be denied by any member ofthe Board. The petitions of many thous-ands of the most responsible residents inthe city, to have the evil abated, preventedany possibility of doubt on that point So,as an excuse for the continuance of theevil, it was pathetically urged by morethan one of the kind-hearte- d Supervisorsthat if the girls were turned out of the sarloons they would have no resource leftbut a life of shame." AVhat a homily uponthe case such an excuse itself preaches !

The life led by these poor girls for theprofit of the saloon keepers leaves no re-

source for them than shame and degrada-tion. Are not parents who have boy3growing up to that age when, like theSupervisors, they feel the influence of thesmile of even a " pretty waiter girl," to beconsidered in framing an ordinance regu-lating the conduct of drinking saloons?Are there no person's feelings to be con-

sidered in such cases except the keepersof the lowest class of these establishments?It is only reasonable to expect that thestrong commendations of these prettywaiter girls, made by the members of theBoard, will frame an excuse for many tovisit them who would have been ashamedto have done so had the Board condemnedthem by restricting the hours during whichthey should carry on their satanellia.Sa,7i Francisco Times.

Buffalo Huxtixo Made Easy. A west-

ern exchange says that about a month agoa party of young men hired a sleeping carin Philadelphia, which they stored with allthe luxuries and necessaries desired for abuffalo hunt, and traveled in it all the wayto Fort Riley. Two miles from FortRiley the party hired ambulances, whichconveyed them between 200 and 300miles distant where herds of buffalo weregrazing. Having killed five or six of thohuge animals, and enjoyed themselves totheir hearts' content tbe party returned,having been gone about three weeks, andhaving traveled the whole distance fromPhiladelphia to Fort Riley in a singlesleeping car.

Practical, Ecoxomt. A thrifty youngman got married to a rosy young Irishgirl quite to the horror of his mother andsisters, but defended himseli by the fol-

lowing logic : " If I marry an Americangirl. I must have an Irish, girl to take careof her, and I cannot afford to supportboth."
