LOST IN THE SNOW. Presently the overland stage forded the now fast receding stream and startod toward Carson on its first trip since the flood came. We hesitated no longer, now, but took up our march in its wake, and trotted merrily along, for we had good confidence in the driver's tamp of locality. But our horses wore no match for the fresh stage team. W'e were goo a left out of sight; but it was no matter, for we had the deep ruts the wheels made (or a guide. By i.his time it was three in the afternoon, nd consequently it was not very long before night dime and not with a lingering twilight, but with a sudden shutting down 'ike a cellar door, is is its habit in that country. The snow-fall was still as thick as ever, and of course we could not see fifteen' steps before us; but all about us the white glare of the gjnowdgMBied us to discern the IgiSpWll arioaf-nounils made by the covered sage bushes, aKrti just in front of us tb: two faint grooves which we knew were the steadily tilling and slowly disappearing wheel-trucks. Now those sage busheti were all about the same height three to four feett they stood just about Jevcn feet apart , All over the vast desert; each of them was mere snow-maurtd, now; in any direction that you proceeded (the same as in a well laid ont orchard) you would find yourself moving down a distinctly defined avenue, with a row of these snow-mounds on either side of it an avenue the customary width of a road, nice and level in its breadth, and rising at the tides in the most natural way, by

reason of the mounds. .But we had not thraiffht of this. Thn imuiririA k

chilly thrill that shot through us when it finally occurred to us, far in the night, that since the last faint trace of the wheel tracks had long ago been buried from sight, we might new be wandering down a mere sage brush avenue, mile) away from the road and diverging further and further away i'rom it all tin? time. Having a cake of ice slipped down one's back is placid con-fort to it. There ws a sudden leap and stir of blood that had been asleep for an hour, and im sudden a rising of all the drowsing activities in our minds and bodies. We were alive and awake at once and shaking and quaking with consternation, too. There was at. instant halting and dismounting, a bending low and an anxious scanning of the road-bed. Useless, of course; for if a faint depression could not be discerned from an altitude of four or five feet above it, it certainly could not with one's none nearly against it. We seemed to be in the road, but that was ho proof. We tested this by walking in various diret.tionB the regular snow mounds and the regular avenues between them convinced each man that he had found the true road, and that the others had found only false oneti. Plainly the situation was desperate. We were cold and stiff and tho hones were tired. We decided to build a, sage brush tire and camp out till morning. This was wise, because if we were wandering from the right road and the snow storm continued another

day, our case would be the next to

hopeless if we kept on.

All agreed that a camp fire was what

wot) la come nearest to saving us now

and so we Bet about building it. We

could find no matches, and so we trifd

- to make shift with the pis:ols. Not, a

man in the party had ever tried to do such ft thing before, but not a man in the party doubted that it could be done, and. without any trouble because every man in the party had read about it in books many a time, and had naturally come to believe it with trusting simplicity, just as he had long ago aecitad and believed that other common book fraud about Indians and lost hunters making fire by rubbing two sticks to aether. We huddled together on our knees iu the deep snow, and tb s horses put their nooes together and bosed their patient bends over us; and while the feathery flakes eddied down and turned us into a group of white statu try, we proceeded wilh the momentous experiment. We broke twigs from a sage bush and piled tbm on a little clearei place under the

shelter of our bodies. Id. the course of

ten or fifteen minutes all was ready, and then, while conversation ceiued

ami our pulses beat low with an xious suspense, Ollendorf applied his revolver, pulled the trigger nd We the pile .'Clear out of the oou lty! it w.-m the

flattest failure that evr was.

This was distressing, but it paled be

fore a greater horror the horses were

gone! 1 had beet) appointed to bold toobridlesj but in rny absorbing anxiaty

i.yr jna pis$oi experiment, I una uu

consciously dropped them, and the re

leased anim.'ils b;,d walked oft' in the

storm. It was useless to try to follow

them, for their footfalls could make no sound, and one cc uld pass within two yards of the creatures and never see them. We gave ;hem up without an effort at recovering them, and cursed

ttv? lying books tnat said horns would

stay by their masters for protection and companionship in a distressful time like

ours.

We were miserable enough, before; w felt still more forlorn, now. Pa

tiently, but with blighted hope, we broke more sticks and piled them, and

once more the Prussian shot them into annihilation. Pla.nly, to light a fire

with a pistol wa3 nn art requiring prac

tice and experience, and the. middle of

a desert at midnigit in a snow storm was not a good pkvse or time for the acquiring of the accomplishment. Wo

gave it up and tri.sd the other. Each

man took a couplo of sticks and fell to

chafing them together. At the end of

halt an hour wo were thoroughly chilled.

and so were the sticks. We bitterly execrated the Indians, the hunters and the books that had bet raved us with tho

silly device, and wondered dismally

what was next to be done. At this crit

ical moment Mr. Ballou fished out

four matches frora the rubbish of an

overlooked pocket. To have found

four gold bars would have seemed noor

and cheap luck compared to this. One ennnot think how eood a match looks

under ti.ch circumstances or how loveable ami precious, and sacredly beautiful to the eye. Tbis time we gathered sticks with high hopes; ;md when Mr. Ballou prepared to light the first match, there was an amount of interest centered upon him that pages of writing could not describe. The match burned

hopefully a moment, and then wentout.

it could not have carried more reeret

with it if it had been a human life. The next match simply flashed and died. The wind puffed the third one out just us it wa-t on the imminent verge of success. We gathered together closer than ever, and developed a solicitude that was ::npt and painful, a1Mr. Ballou scratched our latt hope on his leg. It lit, burned blue and sickly, and then budded iuto a robust flame. Shading it with his hands, the old gentleman bent gradually down and every hijart went with him and everybody, too, for that matter and blood and breath -tood still. The flame touched the sticks at last, took gradual hold upon them hesitated took a stronger hold hesitated again held its breath five heart-breaking seconds, then gave a sort of human g;up aud went out. Nobody said a word for several minutes. It wa a solemn sort of silence; even the wind put, on a stealthy, sinister quiet, and made no more noise than the falling flakes, of snow. Finally a sad-voiced conversation began, and it was soon apparen. that in ench of our hearts lay the conviction that this was our last night with the living. I had so hoped that I v. as the only one who felt so. When trie others calmly acknowledged their conviction, it sounded like the summons itself. Ollendorf said: " Brothers, let us die together. And let us go without one hard feeling toward each other. Let us forget and forgive bygones. I know that you have felt hard toward me for turning over the canoe, and for knowing too much and leading you round and round in the snow but I meant well ; forgive me. I acknowledge freely that I have had hard feelings against Mr. Ballou for abusing me and calling me a logarithm, which L? a thing I do not know what, but nr. doubt a thing considered disgraceful and unbecoming in Amerirji.

and it has scarcely been out of my mind and has. hurt me a great deal but let

it go ; J forgive Mr. Ballou with all mv

heart, and "

Poor Ollendor! broke down and the

tears came. He was not alone, for I was

crying too, and so was Mr. Ballou.

Ullendrot got h s voice again and forgave me for thir.gs I had done and said.

1 hen lie got his bottlo of whisky and said that whether he lived or died he would never touch another dron. He

said he had given up all hope of life, and although ill-preparod, was ready to

suomil sumoiy to nis tate; that he wished he could be spared a little longer, not for any selfish reason, but to make a thorough reform in his character, and and by devoting himself to helping the poor, nursing the sick, and pleading

with the people to guard themselves against the evils of intemperance, make his life a beneficent example to the young, and lay it down at last with the precious reflection that it had not been lived in vain. He ended by saying that his reform should begin at this moment, even .here in the presence of death, since no longer time was to bo vouchsafed wherein to prosecute it to men's help and benefit and with that he threw nway the bottle of whisky. Mr. Ballou made remarks of a similar purport, and began the reform he could not liv-3 to continue by throwing away the acient pack of cards that had solaced our captivity during the flood and made it bearable, He said he never gambled, but still was satisfied that tho meddling with cards in any way was immoral ano injurious, and no man could be wholly puro and blemishless without eschtiwing them " And therefore," continued he, "in doing this net I always feel r.ioro in sympathy w.th that spiritual saturnalia necessary to entire and obsolete reform."

ering anguish of pain in my limbs and through all my body. I shuddered. The thought flitted through my brain, " this is diath this in the hereafter." Then came f, white upheavel at my tide, and a voice said, with bitterness : " Will some gentleman be so good as

to kick me berimd l " It was Ballou at least it was a towzled snow imaj:e in a sitting posture, with Bailou's voice. I rose up, and there in the gray dawn, not fifteen steps from us, were the frame buildings of a ftage station, and under a shed stood our si ill saddled and bridled horses ;' Ar arched snow-dril t broke up now, and Ollendorf emerged from it, and the three of us sat and stared at the horses without speaking a word. We reallv

had nothing to say. We were like the profane man who could not "do the subject justice," the whole situation was so painfully ridiculous and humiliating that words were tame and we did not know where to commence anyhow. The joy in our hearts at our deliverance was poisoned ; well nigh dissipated, indeed. We presently began to grow pettiah by degrees, and sullen; and then, angry at everything in general, we moodily duisted the snow from our clothing, and, in unsociable single file, plowiid our way to tho horses, unsaddled them, and sought shelter in the static n. I have scarcely exaggerated a detail of this curious and absurd adventure. It ocoured almost ex tctly as 1 have stated it. We actually went into camp in a unow-drift in a deVert, at midnight in a etorm, forlorn and hopeless, within fifteen steps of a comfortable inn. For two hours we sat apart in the station and ruminated in disgust. The mystery was gone now, and it was plain enouch why the horses had deserted us. Without a doubt they were under that med a quarter of a minute after they had left us, and they must have overheard and enjoyed all our confessions and lamentations, Afr breakfast we felt better, and the zest of life soon came back. The world looked bright again, and existence was us dear to us as ever. Presen'ly an uneasiness came over me grew upon me assailed me without ceasing. Alas, my regeneration was not complete I wanted to smoke I I resisted with all my strength, but the flesh was weak. I wandered away along and wrestled with myself an hour. I recalled my promises of reform and preached to myself persuasively, upbraidingly, exhaustively. But it was all iu vain. shortly found myself sneaking anion; the snow-arifts hunting for my pipe. I discovered it after a considerable search, and crept away to hide myself and enjoy it. I remained behind the barn a good while, asking myself how I would feel if my brave, stronger, truer comrades should catch me in my degradation. At last I lit the pipe, and no human being can feel meaner and baser than I did then. 1 was ashamed cf being in my own pitiful company. Still dreading discovery, I felt that perhaps the further side of the barn would be somewhat safer, and so I turned the corner. As I turned the one corner, smoking, Ollendorf turned the other with bis bottle to his lips, and between us sat unconscious Ballou deep hi a game of "solitaire ' with the old greasy cards I Absurdity coui.d go no farther. We shook hands and agreed to say no more about " reform " and ' examples to the rising generation." The station we were at was at the verge of Twenty six Mile Desert. If we had approached it half an hour earilcr the night before, we must have heard men shooting there and firing pistols ; for they were expecting some sheep drovers and their flocks and knew that they would infallibly get lost and wander out of reach of help unless guided by Roundn. While we remained at the station, three of the drovers arrived, nearly exhausted with their wanderings, but two others of their party were never heard of afterward. Mark Twain, in Roughing it.

people deprecate their oresencc and in

Huence, because of their evil example

with reference to the Lord's Day 7 If

not, the fact is wortv of recard bv con

siderate and thoujjhtfi: men. Let them place themselves in the position of the fanii ics resident in such a locality, who are observant of the first day of the week as a season of rest and worship. Through nine months of the year tho di.;r pastes in quiet, and they train their children to a choerful sobriety of demeanor durinj its hours, and to a regular attendance upon the sanctuary. But about the first of July comes nn invasion from the city. The cars discharge their crowded occupants, the hotels Hiid boarding-houses are filled so overflowing, tho village streets are lively w: th stranger who walk and ride nt all hours, and everything is pleasant, till the Christian Sabbath arrives. Then the good people, accustomed to refrain from ordinary occupations, can t.carcely recognize the day. They meet, indeed, a portion of the visitors at church, and are glad to show them the best seats, and to inike them feel at home in the house of God. But many others they sea driving in every direction on excursion of pleasure, and sailing or rowing on the lake or in the harbor, as oblivious of the religious use and meaning of the day as though they were heathen. It is sad to think that come thus ftpend the day who do otherwise at iiome, in this city. Seven days in the week are required to sate tiieir rural thirss for pleasure. The church bells ring in vain. Christian people pass by, on their way to church, but the loungers w, the hotels do not join them. We sometimes wonder whether conscience does not give an occasional t winge, as the reverberations of the various bells fill the air, or as the distant sound of organ and hymn roaches the ear. What a deadening effect upon the moral nature such neidect of the uublio wor

ship of God must have I Whs.t prepar

But though these thoughtless pleasure seeking visitors may attach little

importance, on their own account, to

their iMinojty pastimes, and may gaily tell us to mind our business antl they will lake their own risks, for t.iia wnr.i'l

and the no:it, they ought to have some regard for the feelings of the commu

Christian community, which roiesupon

tiie religious observance o! Sunday, as in imrort&nt part of the training of the young, :o have a powerful counterinfluence brought in. We say a powerful counter-influence, because, though it may not proceed from a large number, it coir ess from the class likely to atleci others. The boys of a village will not fail to be impressed by the sight of gentlemen from the city, of respectability and wealth, who on Bunday are seldom or never seen at church, but are often visible in their sail-boats and yachts. Moreover, such gentlemen cannot carry on their Sunday pleasures without bringing others into direct participation in the way of labor. There musLbe livery stables in full operation, to provide for their wants, mid men who make it a business to rent boats. They must have persons to attend to their horses, and to aid in rowing or sailing the:;r boats, who are thus encouraged to spend Sunday in work, as they would any other day. Neither should they forget that in ev;ry rural and village community there is a low, profane set of men, who, on Sundays, the year round, hang about taverns and saloons, or go fishing or shooting, and are the known neglecters of all public worship and tho representatives of whatever is rough in manners and degrading in character. Such men feel

justified and encouraged in their evil

career, when the summer brings its company of city gentlemen, well dressod and appearing to be respectable and wealthy, who show equal indifference to religion.

they wish now to see him their equal, and not the slave of others but when

they see a whole race all voting one way, and that mainly through terror, they must often feel that, the negro himself loves slavery

better than freedom. We would wish now to share our freedom and our equality with the neero, but he won't be free

and he won't be our equd, and hence

the re-arming of this old discussion, whether the negro was really born to be s. slave or not." TIIE LOST CAUSE REGAINED THROUGH QRIEWSY DIRECT PLUDGII TO RESTORE THE R3BELS TO POWER.

Ytu rememlier from what ouarter re.

stantial check to the swelling and ad-

vauciag uae oi toe rebellion, lnis is not the place to sketch the details of the interim, but whose blood does not

even now couise more rapidly through his veins as he recalls the wild, tumul

tuous joy, the rapturous gladness, which filled every loyal heart on that April

morning when the glad tidings were flashed throui-h the land that the

brave rebel army of Northern Virginia which hs.d so long and so defiantly borne tl e fortunes of the insurrectionary Conf'edercy upon its bayonets !iad at last gone, down under the irresistible strokes of him who, through the wilderness and many a bloodv.

hard-fought held, had patently pursued it with unreleotine purpose and tenac

ity, until at hist, at Appamattox, the gigantic rebellion lay prostrate at his feet ? Under his guidance the god of battles had delivered us from the exigences of wiir, and we came out of its furnance heat with unimpaired nationality and the redemption of the race whose perpetual enslavement had been the officially proclaimed purpose of the new goverment which the rebellion was waged to establish. Did ever other war yiold such rich fruition! Well sang the liberty-loving Whittier: " 3id we da re, In our agony of prayer, Auk for moi than he has done? Whon wan ever his right hand. Over any time or land, " Strolched ai how, "beneath the sun? How tnej pale, Ancient myth and song and tale, In this wor der af our days, When this cruel rod of war Blossoms white with righteous lf.w, And the w rath of man is praise." How the land rang with the plaud.ts of the g.-at captain who d proved its' deliverer, and how every patriotic heart went out in gratitude t him for his priceless services! Each ot the great political parties at the North sougtithia acceptance cf support for the highest of all earthly honors, tha Presidency of the great Republic. The Democratic party would fain have hidden its ignominious abatement of the rebellion in the thadow of his great deeds, leady then as now, under whatever gu "se or pretense, to steal back into the places of pewerand trust from which it had been hurled by an outraged and indignant people. But the brave man who hod thwarted the traitors in their attempt to overthrovr the Government, and who hao. foiled the renegade Johnson in his efforts to rob the counfe-y of the just results of the war, spurned all potters of toe Democratic party, and adhered to that which had stayed up his hinds in saving the country from
