NOBIMBBGAJ
BY JOHN G. Wmfilll.
The winding way the serpent takes
The mystic water took.
From where, to count its beaded lakes,
The forest sped its brook.
. A narrow space 'twlxt shore and shore,
F‘cr sun or stars to fall,
While evcrmorc, behind, before,
Closed in the forest wall.
The dim woods hiding underneath
Wan flowers without a name:
Life tangled with decay and death,
League afterleaguc the same.
Unbroken over swamp and hill
Thc' rounding shadows lsy.
Save where the river cut at will
A pathway to the bay.
Beside that track of air and light,
Weak as a child unweaned.
At shut of day a Christian knight
Upon his henchmsu leaned.
The embers 0f the sunset’s fire's
Along the clouds burned dowh :
“i see," herald. “modems and spires -
Of Noren'ibegs town." .
“ l the domes, oh master mine.
Arc golden clouds on high;
You spire is but the branchless pine
That cuts the evening sky."
“0 bush and bark! what sounds are these
But chants and holy hymns 1"
l".l'hou hear’st the tickle of the rilla,
The insect’s vesper drone."
“The Christ be pramdl—Hc’ sets for me
A blessed cross'iu sight 1'! .
“Now, nay, 'tls but you blasted tree
With two' gaunt arms outright 1"
“Be it wind so sad or tree so stark,
it matterethnot'my knavc;
Methinks to funeral hymns I hark,
The cross is for my grave!
Ify life is sped; I shall not use
My home-set sails again;
The sweetest eyes of Normsndic
Shall watch for me in vain.
Yet onward still toear and eye
The bathing marvel calls;
I fain would look before I die
On Norembegs’s walls.
. So, haply, it shall be thy part
At Christian feet to lay
The mystery of the desert’a heart
My dead hand plucked sway.
Leave me an hour of rest; go thou
And look from yonder heights;
Perchance the valley even now
Is starred with city lights.”
The henchman climbed the nearest bill,
He saw no tower nor town,
But, through the drear woods, lone and um.
The river rolling down. '
He heard the stealthly feet of things
Whose shapes he could not see.
Afiutter as of evil wings,
The fall of a dead tree.
The pines stood black against the moon,
A sword of fire beyond;
He heard the wolf bowl, and the icon
Laugh from his seedy pond.
He turned him back; “0h master dear.
We are but men misled:
And thou hast sought a city-here
To find a grave instead. "
“As God shall will. what matters where
A true man’s cross may stand.
So Heaven be O’er it here as there
in pleasant Norman land ?
These woods, percbancc, no secret hide
oflordly tower and ball;
You river in its wanderings wide
- Has washed no city wall:
Yet mirrored in the sullen stream
The holy stars are given;
Is Norembegs than I dream
Whose waking is in Heaven 1
No builded wonder of these lands
My weary eycs shall see;
A city never made with-hands
Alone awaiteth ine—
‘Ualu Syon mystica,’ i see
its mansions passing fair,
'C’ondt'ta caelo.’ let me be,
Dear Lord, I dweller there i"
Above the dying exile hung
The vision of the hard,
As fallered on his failing tongue
The sung of good Bernard.
The henchmen dug at dawn a grave
Beneath the hemlock’s brown,
And to the desert’s keeping gave
The lord of same town. '
Years after when the Sieur Champlain
Sslled up the mystic stream,
And Norembega proved again
A shadow and a dream.
He found the Norman's nameless grave
Within the hemloek’s shade,
And, stretching widc its arms to save,
The sign that God had made.
The cross-boughed tree that marked the spot
And made it‘holy ground:
He needs the earthly city not
Who bath the heavenly found!

nlficcnt city of the same name on a rest river pro -
ablly the Pcuobscot. The site of t Is barbaric city
is aid down on a map published at Antwcrfiln 1510.
In 1004 Champlain sailed in search of the orthern
Eldorado twenty-two leagues up the Penobae'ot from
the Isle lieute. He supposed the river to be that of
Norembcgs, but wisel came to the conclusion that
those travelers who to d of the Igreat city had never
seen it. He saw no evidences c anything like civili-
sation, but mentions'the finding of a cross, very old
and messy in the woods.
Table Manners.
When to eat, and what, and how much,
are questions which have been abundantly
answered, well and ill; but it is not consid-
ered as it ought to be, that the attendants 0f
the family table have a much larger share
in promoting a healthful digestion than is
generally supposed.
A good appetite is essential to a good di-
gestion, but a snow white table cloth is a
great promotivc of a good appetite. No one
can eat in comfort if any member of the fam-
ily appears at the table in slatteruly dress;
with unkempt ”hair; showing a breadth of
black under the finger nails, with a hawking
and a spitting and a blowing of the nose,
and their tremendous associations.
But the spotless napkiii, the most splen-
did roast, and faultless concomitant: all,
what do these amount to, if sadness is writ-
ten on .the face of the wife; if an angry
scowi gleams from the corrugated brow of a
morosc husband, on dissatisfied 100k comes
ikom, a child’s eye, and the meal is partaken
of in ominous silence? Away with such up»
loveliness! there is no sunshine in such a
household, and the members of that family,
if they grow up at all will become the re
frigerators, the bane, of every company into
which they may be- thrown in after lift.
Rather let the family table be the place of
glad reunions; as much. looked forward. to
as the promised coming of a cherished
il‘ieud; let courtesics morc than courtly be
ever cultivated; let smiles wreaths every
face ‘; let calm satisfaction sit on every coon?
tenancc; let light hearts, and cheery words-
and obliging acts, and watchihl attentions.
be the order of the day; and these are they
which largely help to make happy homes,
and good hearts and generous natures.
' Hall's Journal of Health.
[3' The New York Times recently con-
tained a dispatch, dated - Junc’ 7th, from
Wyoming Territory. that the Pullman din-
ing ear “ International,” accompanied by
two palace sleeping cars, forming part of a
through train to- Sacramento, was passing
over the summit of the Black Hills. Dinner
was being served, while the train was mov-
ing across the wilderness at the rate of
thirty miles an'hour, over an excellent road,
in cars free from dust, and well ventilated.
Could anything, by comparison with the
old method of traveling by stage, batter illus-
trate the engineering triumphs and scien-
tific achievements of the day ?
The Twin listen.
“ Well i” said Ned Arlington, “ for my
part I have never loved but one woman, and
she is now my better halt"
“ I tell you,” replied a fellow stage-coach-
er, “ you have had an easy courtship. I was
compelled tolove two indies.”
“ Two ladies l”
“ Yes sir, two ladies.”
“ But you did not love them both alike l”
“Now stranger, there is just the trouble.
Iwas thinking of this precise difliculty when
I remarked that you had an easy courtship."
“ You puzzle me,” exclaimed Ned. “Sup-
pose you relieve our minds by arebearsal l”
“ It will afford me pleasure and you enter-
tainment," rejoined the handsome and social
fellow-traveller." A
Here we leaned forward, intent on hearing
how a man was compelled to love two ladies
with the same degree of fervor.
“_ My friends," said he, “ if you ever visit
New Haven, Connecticut, you will hear
these expressions: ‘ As much alike as the
Grover girls i' or this: ‘ou can no more

wish you to see if you can identify them.”
“Mr. Potter,” said I, “ you will embarass
the ladies.”
“ Not at all,” said one. “ We are used to
this" said the other. “ It is the great amuse-
ment afforded by our resemblance." Here
both spoke, but on honor, it sounded like
one voice. '
“ Ladies, said I, “ pardon me; Iknow you
are not horses, but allow me to look at your
teeth ‘9” '
“' I desired this, deeming there would be-
some speck, indentation or irregularity that
would serve as an index.They exhibited their
pearly rows; but after a minute investiga-
tion, I was no better informed. I examined
their‘iinger nails, then their hands, still
had no point of distinction, and I gave it up
that She and Hannah might forever ex-
change ‘ces without 'fear of detection on
my part. '
“ The ridiculous blunders of admirers were
frequent. Mantuamakers, shoemakers, and
trades people in general ‘were continually
presenting 800 an account created by Han-
nah, or telling Hannah some lingo intended
only for the ears of Sue."
The beauty of the ladies impressed me.
They were of my style. An acquaintance
of two months demonstrated their paperior-
ity in all respects. In brief, I found myself
in love—but with which one ?”
“When 'tender ideas arose, I found it just
as natural to one as the other. Yes, I
emnly swear I was in love—I had the con-
nubial article.” ,
“ I frequently took them out, yet never
knew when I bad. If my lady would quote
Sue, I thought it clear I had Hannah, or if
Hannah was mentioned, I believed I. was
beauing Sue. Indeed, it was a mere matter
of faith. There was no evidence, for often
one palmed herself ofl' on me as the other.
This was a chronic dodge, played on their
various admirers to suit convenience and
insure rest. At far as these gallants were
concerned, it was immaterial, although the
one might be called for by name, the other
would do just as well, no one being able to
detect the difference.”
“ I often implored them to contra—distin-
guish themselves by some article of apparel
or jewelry, but it was fruitless. ‘ That
would spoil our fun}. they would exclslm,
as though I meditated some terrible inflic-
tion on them. As I have said, I was in love.
I felt that my happiness depended on the
possession 'of these twins. But for which
should I ask the parents? Honestly, it was
no matter which one I had, as affection
could make no choice.”
“ On a lovely evening in September, one
sister was at home. Now, thought I, here
is a'surety that I can talk'a whole evening
to one of this dual phenomenon. As she
entered the parlor, said i. ‘ How- do you do

faltering voice and tremolous manner, I de-
clarcd my love, and she returned it with all
the srdor ofhcr true and impassioned nature.
I'summoned the old folks ; told our devotion;
gave prospects, and made the essential reve-
lations. The senior Grover-s gave us their

barassments incident to non-diptinguish-
mant. ' On this ground I had a genuine
trouble. » , ,
Before Hannah returned, I invited Sue to
take a walk on the green. When opposite
the centre of the church, I spoke of the
betrothal ring, and requested her to‘- lease
let me see the ring she wore. She ~ ok it
off, and I carelessly played with it to throw
her off her guard—then calling her attention
to a party ofstudents, took my Congress
knife and drew the file blade through the
inner part. It left a nice mark, andby this
I hoped to identify her in fixture. On our

“ Oh i” responded she, “that ring game
has been tried by half a dozen admirers. I
suspicioned what you were at, but thought
I would see how many beads would con-
ccive the same plan.”
The next day neither she nor her sister
wore a ring. One wcek after they resumed
them; but in neither was there a mark. It
was evident that I was about to be Out-gen-
eraled, and would have to depend on the
discretion of my intended and the goodness
of their peg-cuts, ' “’
At parties I had severe trials. I never

W The Daily New Marleen, in reporting
the safe arrival of Mr. Vincent Colyer at
Santa Fe, adds the following account of his
travels in that vicinity. Mr. Colyer, it will
be remembered is visiting the Indian tribes
as Secretary of the U. S. Indian Commission.
“ Mr. Colyer left Medicine Bluff, military
head-quarters of the Indian Territory, Fort
Cobb having been abandoned as a military
post, on the 13th of April with a. small es-
cort of 17 men of Co. ‘0’ 6th Infantry-
This little band of men walked the entire
distance of 435 miles across the Staked
riving at Fort Bascom on May 14th, in as
good condition as when they started. On
the fifth day out an Indian messenger from
the Kiowas intercepted them, and on learn-
ing the character of the party returned to
Wolf, the chief, with his brother and about
sixty warriors, and squaws, dressed in their
best, rode out to meet them, and escorted
bufl‘alo coming in sight, Lone Wolf sent a
party of his young men to kill them and
with much hospitality presented all the
choicest parts to Mr. Colyer’s party. At the
close of the day they asked for a talk, which
being granted they had a long conference.
tablished among the Kiowas, in which their
the ways of white man ; also that meanwhile
they might be allowed to hunt Bufl‘slo, as
government agents to accompany them.
They also expressed their willingness to 10-
cats
sion and particularly inquired the route his
party intended to take across the plains.
This information being freely given to them
the best of friends. For several days after,
the flesh foot-prints of an Indian pony were
noticed on the route indicated, and from that
time forward not an Indian molested them
or was seen.
The country through which the party
traveled was mostly barren, but some fertile
valleys were crossed, and nearly all the way,
Bufl'alo, deer, antelope, wild turkeys and
other game was met with in large numbers,
proving the land is capable of sustaining
animal life. About seventy-five miles east
of Fort Baacom there lies a stretch of over
twenty-five miles wide of beautiful prairie.
Their route lay up the valley of the
Washita river to within twenty miles east
of the Antelope Hills, when they crossed the
high sandy divide northwest to the Big Ca-
any lack of water experienced. Frequent
showers filled the pools and creeks, while
the sandy soil prevented any delay or an-
noyance from mud. The Canadian was
crossed 300 miles west of Medicine Blair
and the north bank followed the rest of the
way into Bascom.
Beds of iron ore, limestone, red, white,
gray and citron colored sandstone of the
most beautiful varieties were met with, as
well as large masses of Gypsum and Oyster
Shells; and the feasibility of a good wagon
road, or when the occasion requires it, of
an easily built railroad, was fully endorsed.
There is a scarcity of timber on the Ca-
nadian river but Dwarf Plum trees, Grape
vine and Currant bushes abound. The In-
dians dry, and thus preserves these fruits in
large quantifies. _ . ,
Mr. Colyer collected many geological
specimens, and made careful drawings of
plants, flowers, trees, birds, reptiles, and
landscape views of the scenery; the latter
being represented as very picturesque and
peculiar.”

BIRDS.
Let us say a word or two about birds,'thoac
ever-welcome visitors, whose songs cheer '
us in the early morning, and refresh our
weary spirits at the close of day, How few
who listen to their notes, know anything
about them further than that they have
wings and fly from trec'to tree. Their his-
tory and habits form interesting themes for
contemplation and study, and would, if
properly handled, supply material for a
lengthy communication. At this time, how-
ever, it is our purpose to speak briefly, of a
few only, of the more familiar :specimens.
It may surprise the general reader to
know, that there are over a hundred dis-
tinct varieties of the feathered tribe, flying
about during a summer season. Such is the
fact however, and each variety can be mi-
nutely described.
The Bhw Bird is the first harbinger of
spring. His grateful notes are listened to
with pleasure by those who have endured

early part of March, on some still morning
and warmed by the sun’s rays, his voice is
