The happlat hours fever lived, were passed

no reply. He was-still leaningon the piano
and seemed lost in thought. Suddenly
starting up from his reverie, he inquired of

“Mignon's” mug, from Goethe’s William
Mcister, commencing:

“How sincerely you sing!” he murmured,
after a moment’s pause, “ where did you
learn those German ballads? if I may in-
quire." I mentioned the name of our old
master, and be repeated it with the German

Boll . “ you find them in oil the great cities

Italian school of music and the levity of the
French. The English have no souls for
music. Wallace and Bolts were Irishman;
but even they were little more than success-

there is nothing efl‘emmstc in ‘the heart-

Take Verdi for instance, a composer of the
Italian school. His operas are little more
than strings of pleasant tunes, which any
child will catch and bum for you after once
hearing them. But .I‘ve board said that
Richard Wagener’s music is intelligible only
to himself. At least, the Pnrisinns say so, he
answered lsugbingly, but like the wople of
all great capital cities, the Pnrisinns are the

I reached Judge Croydon's country-scat
this afternoon The kind. old gentleman
met me at the door, and welcomed me heart-
ily, kissing me on the forehead, and leading
me into the house by the bond. Upon resch-
ing the drawin -room, hepusbed the curtain
aside, and exc aimed: “Now, Berta, come
here. This rsscally Rsimond has said so
much shout your brown eyes and sweet
smile, that I must satisfy my curiosity, even
Egon I let you sit. down." Whereupon. he
w the ntly towards the window. My
first impu as was tobecome confused and act
school-girlish; but upon second thought, I
looked full into the dear, old man's mild,
blue eyes, and smiled as herniated his losses
to scan in features. " That scoundre , Rab
mondl t—whnt an unmitigated rascal
hols!" cried the judge. “What, what an
unposter! I vow, I‘d throttle him if I had
him here! I would, Berta," and with this
he caught me in his arms and kissed me on
the mouth, and brow, and checks, and hair.
“ N ow, my child." hesdded nervously, :lyou
may and take your hot. oil, for tea w' he
serv in a few moments" Hereupon he
called his housekeeper, and desired her to
show me to my room, saying as we left the
parlor: “ Recollect, Berta, you're mistress
here“ As soon as I was alone, the tears
burst forth. I throw myself u n my knees,
and prayed for my Ruimou ; prayed for
strength to become worthy of him. on !
happy triumph! Oh! sweet. victory!
Hay not.
What a kind and loving besrt the judge
possesses How he loves my Rsimond. How
clovm me. How quickly his warm, blue
gee fill with tears when he speaks of him.
c said to me today: “And so Berts, you
are really resolved upon in ' that ras-
cnlly nephew of mine? Why, he mslmt

vEst leave the matter to me, Berta; we'll
vc him up before a court of justice—we’ll

and said nothing for a moment. “ But now,

givm little mice of immediate occupation.
No one who has never traversed tbeoountty
west oftthimour-i. has or can have any
conceptions of its vastness or of is uniform-
ity. T Ibis not level, it is not mountainous;
it is rolling, dry and dusty. The Platte Riv-
er, which is followed by the railroad for sev-
eral hundred‘miles, drains the Mud the
little water to be found in this stream in the
must be. The Platte looks like s noble riv-
er. It is in reality a contemptihle stream.
Shallow, full of quicksands, treacherous so to
its appearance and tasoe, it has pmsed here
into a proverb, “ as false as the Platte." The
roll of the country is pleasant after the flat,-
nem of the prairies, but in turn it grows

on the Union Pacific are notwhnt they are in
Connecticut. While the depots, buildings
and tanksal'e‘ ”Epcot: bléilbé houses around
have wuyn in! are pcculfir. ‘ The sides of
some sr°c made up of beer barrels, the roofs
of canvas, while the interior is ssopen to the
eye as the prairie itself. Others are built of
" doby" or adobe brick, with earth roofs, and
contain tenants s5 wretched in appearance as
the buildings themselves. For a thousand
miles the Union Pacific passes through a
barren country which brings but little busi-
nesstotheroad, and will bring but little
more for yuan to come. One striking fes-
ture at many stations is the first floor built of
stone and loop-holed for rifles; for no one
can tell the day when the Sioux or Arapa-
hoes will come down on the war path. If
the railroad were torn up and the grade lev-
elled, its line would still be marked by the
skeletons of cattle and horses, whitening in
the sun along its whole path; and wherever
it follows the line of the emigrant trail, lone-
ly graves tell of disappointed hope, and life
suddenly gone out. At
CHEYENNE
I saw from the window a cluster of twenty-
one graves, and learned what is undoubtedly
true, that only one of the occupants died a
natural death. As one Cheyenner told me,
“ it is a dull place now, we don‘t have s mur-
der more nor once a week." At this point
the Kansas Pacific joins the Union and the
place is to be in all probabilitv s railroad
center of much importance At present it
has n queer, extemporsneous look. The on-
ly plmant things we saw about it, were the
fine teams and turnouts of the army ofllcers
stationed nearby. It seemed odd enough to
see buggies that. would pass muster in Cm-
trsl Park, drawn by horses whose speed
would be remarkable anywhere, draw up to
the station Where Chinnmcn, Indians, West-
erners, and Yankees were eating their lunch
of antelope steak nndJrufi‘nlo tongue.

blank space of two lines, like this,

Echo Canyon is reached. You mustd) this
because your correspondent knows nothing
about it, for he sweetly slept over most of it.
A moment‘s wakefulness at Sherman, the
highest point of the grade, with one of two
glimpses of increasing darkness, and then,
wide-awake, we entered '

This gorge, or ravine so we should callit
in the east, begins mildly, grows deeper, ris-
es higher, becomes more and more fantastic,
until it is actually grand from itssingularity
and singular from its grandness Curiously
piled rocks, goodily colored pillars, standing
alone and in clusters; enormous walls piled
until the eye is strained in reaching their
height ; coves, in the face of shwr precipiws,
whose interior no human foot will ever ex-
plore, and cavities from which the most
sparkling streams leaped; stutues whose
carving needsbut little help from the imagi-
nstion; all arethere andrmuch more.

and washed from immense slough: or dides.
It is here that that curious trough in the
mountain-side, culled “ the Devil‘s Slide” is
seen. I was much impressed with the difi'er-
ent ways in which admiration or astonish-
ment found expression": “ Oh‘s" [and “ Ah's"
were plenty enough. Awe-strickat silence
was not so common, while the twaddle of
“mlendld” “pretty," and even " sweet" were
commonest of all. Sm e'xqulsites,’whohad
