anything special to add to its Rlorr , but the

raised for foreign missions In ono of the
churches anil a lot of these girls pledged
themselves to ralso It. So each of them
opened business for herself to earn the
money. Ono bought n bushel of beans and
baked them inbonn crocks. Aud shobaked
them so wtlL that the whole town has taken

epoko to her , and she told him that she \vns
sick and had no homo. Though only seven
teen , tLcro were drop lines of dissipation and
misery on her palo face. Sbo said that she
had been Induced to leave homo by a faith
less lover. She \vorked as a clonkmnkor for
a while , and when she became nick and could
not earn anything ho deserted her , Tno yo-
liccnmn took her to n police station , whoto
sbogavo the name of Lonlsa Miller , Sha
was faint Irom oxposuio and hunger nnd the
sergeant sent out to a restaurant for food for
ho/ . After eating sno revived somewhat , but
complained of a terrible pain in the lioart ,
and had slight convulsions. The scrpcnnt
sent to ncllevuo hospital for an ambulanu ]
and a surgeon cane with it. The woman had
been spitting blood. Tha sergeant feared she
was going to die and the surgeon questioned
her in id started to leave the houso. She had
contagious Wood poisoning , he said , and was
not a case for Bellevue hospital. Sao be
longed at the Charity hospital 011 Illnchvell's '

The Scrgt. made room for her In the lode-

said that the room was hot mid the air so
foul that , she could not breallm. She bade
the sorReaut Rood night nhd wont away , re
marking : "All that Is loft for mo is to dlo In

According to the strict reflations of the
liopltalambuldncoservice the surgeon was
right in refusing- tnko the patient. War
den Fallen said : "It certainly seems hard to
roluso to assist , nny 0110 who is sick and des
titute , but the ambulances are ullowcd only
toUko persons suffering from acute dis
eases or injuries. It would not do any damage -
ago to make a change in thu rules so ns to
take all cases thnt properly uclonc to a hos

diseases arq always executed , but the moans

"So you have given up woannp flannel.
"Uhy is thisl" asked one lady of another , snys
thnNow Vorlt Ledger. "I gave It up because
I found something so much moro comfortable.
I am goingto turn the order of undergar
ments topsy-turvy , and wear linen mwinto
for warmth , nnd wool In summer for coolness ,
if I wear wool nt all , winch Is somewhat
doubtful. Why. my dear , do you know thnt
I always tnko cold when I leave off my linen
house dresses in the fall nnd put on wool
ones. I had noticed this for several seasons ,
nnd finally wade some experiments , by which
I satisfied myself that linen or cotton was
warmer than wool , and so 1 am going to fly
in the face of tradition nnd custom nnd wur
linen ; and you -will find that my health will
improve. I entertain Ideas abrtut the houlth-
fulness of garments that can only ho washed
In warm water. Of course , wo know that n
inodora'.o degree of heat not only does not de
stroy the ecrins of disease , but Is favorable
to their growth , nnd It appears to mo that
flannels worn from month to month , some
times from season to season , with only warm
batha between wcarings. must , in the nature
of things , accumulate impurities. Suppoie
tliero is nn Illness or exposure tojltseasc , how
could tlioro be more favorable conditions for
Its continuance than the flannels as nt pres
ent managed I Of course I don't ' expect all
the world to follow my example , nor do I
think It will affect the tmlllc in wool goods , I
only know that I have batter health and will
ho much moro comfortable In linen , than m
wool. This is only my notion of what is good
for me. "

My i'Ylotid : J have boon a fortnight ( al-

Ohio , Missouri , Knns , etc. , to this place ,
where on my arrival from Denver today I
found ynur \ < 'lcomo lottor-nono amonR the
many awaiting mo moro vrolcoac ,
except thnt of my daughter I - ,
Informing mo of her safe nrrivnl In London
with her invalid mother , % vtio scorned scarce
ly the -\vorso for the lout and ill-advisod
journey.
i..ot mo giro you some idea of this place nnd
people.
Between the main branches which form

mountains , and , nftor a snort crulso ovrr thu
plains , fall Into the Nortli or the South

next comes the Cache a Poudro , which rises
la the snowy rntigo near Long's ' poik nnd
runs ntarl.v duo east Into the South Platte ,
nbout half-way Of Its course over the plains.
The new Denver Pacific road connected the
Kansas' Pacific at Denver with the Union
1'aciiio at Uhoycnnu crosses tlio Cache a
Poudro llvo mlles above injunction Avlth the
South 1'latto , and lioro Is located around the
lallroad station , which UM ns yet
no depot , the new village of
Crcclpy , youngest couiln of JonnU'sKOUrd. (
The location was pitched upon hy the loca
ting committee of oui'uniop colony nbout the
1st of March last , the land secured soon after
word , and thu settlers began to arrive on the
bare , kloak prnlro early In Muy. There were
no buildings , and nothing whereof to erect
thorn , and tbo soil could not bo cultivated to
nny purpose without irrlpntlou ; yet hero wo
hwo already so mo 700 families , three hun
dred houses built or nearly finished In tlio
, 100 moro scattered on the nrnlrlo
nround , anil probably 2,000 persons in nil ,
with more dally arriving. Vvo have an ml-
gatluRcanal which takes < vnter from the
Oachuslx miles above auct distributes It over
1,000 , acres , as it will do over several thous
ands rnoro ; and we are milking another on
the north side of the Cache very much
longer , which is to imftnto at least .20,000
acres. We are soon to have a newspaper ( wo
luivo already a bank ) , and wo calculate that
our colony will give ut least GOO majority for
a republican president in 1871 ! , nftor harvest
ing that year a wheat crop of not less than
60,000 bushels , with othtr crops to mutch.
And wo hope to Incite the foundJtkmof inauy
such colonies on every sidoof us.
But enough of this , I spoke to the colon-
l ts in the opoii air yesterday , tr.ivcisod tlio
settlement and examined Its canal to thu
head , and leave this morning on the
train for homo , where I hope to bo , thankful
fora safe and rapid Journey , on Monday

NEW YOUK , April 5 , 1ST1. My Friend-I
have youra of the ! ) d.
I hoped that you could come to spend a few
days with us. Now that tills is not to bo , I am
convinced that all is for the best. I should
have been too busy to see- much of you , ex
cept on Saturday nnd Sunday , with hall an
hour at breakfast on other days ; nnd I wish
to meet you under better auspices. Yet I.
can' t attend the general con\rer.tlon ( Univer-
sallst ) next September at Philadelphia ,
where you are sure to bo , slncol must then
bo in the vest. Next month I go to Texas.
So , 3'ou see , my lifo Is all a fevered rnaich ,
and now I seem unlikely over to sit down ana
have a quiet tall : with you. ( I have some
dry cedar wood up at Jhappjqita _ , which I
havolonp purposed to burn in an open fire
plnce on u succession of winter evenings ,
while I sit before it with afew dear friends ,
read poems , nnd talk ever our past lives.
But I guess that cedar will remain unburned
till alter my funeral , )
I regret to flnU you inclined to disparage
yourself. There are but two Kinds of peoolo
on this planet , those who try In some hum
ble way to do good , and the other sort. The
former nron.Il equals , and should so regard
themselves , as well ns each other. I have no
friend who would not be happy and proud of
vour acnualntuuco.
Well , 1 shall take ray daughter , G
( now fourteen , almost ) and go up to Tarry-
town on Friday evening to see n good friend ,
and then over to Chappaqua next morning ,
oven though it rain. I hope to have a long ,
bright day there. And so , dear friend , udlou ,

Nnw Yoitic , April 20 , 1S71. My Friend : I
Imvo yours of the 18th , and thank you for so
good an excuse for saying that I and my Baby
( almost fourteen ) had a very choice Satur
day at Chappaqua. Wo went up to Tarry-
town on Friday evening to visit dour friends ,
then drove across ( ten miles ) to Cluppaquu.
The day was bright and quite warm , as you
know. A friend and hfs daughter accom
panied us , and brought us back in the n tor-
noon to 'i'arrytowii , whence wo came liome
that night , I remember few days moro en
tirely enjoyable. I went up again last Satur
day , but the any was dull nnd many things
wont awry. I lost my poeltctnook coming
down , telegraphed two ways for it' , nnd it
was thereupon found in the Sing-Sinn depot ;
but I did not receive it till yesterday , and
meantime I had two places to speak , for ono
of which I rolled upon wy memorandum in
diary au d had hard worlc to 11 nd the placo. I
was befriended by n good providence in that ,
as in finding my pocliotbook after it had lain
throu hours in a busy depot unnoticed. So
on the whole , that visit turned out well. 1 go
to Texas reluctantly , There seems no choice
but to bo in thu world or out of it. I am not
sufficiently broke down to refuse to bear my
part among men ; so I keep on. It will bo
just the same 100 years hence.
You judco that men will not suffer forovcr
If to suffer implies pain , I ngreo with you
In the scinso of loss , I think suffering will en
dure. Tlmt is , I bollovo the very wicked
hero will never bo quite so well off as thougl
tneyhrul boon good that they will never
makeup tlio leeway they lost while serving
the enemy here. 1 judge thatMnry Matrda
lone is now , and ever will be , in n , lower grade
than Mary the mother ot Jesus. As to the
scriiituros , please consider Daniel sli 3. I do
not Insist that this refers specially to the f u

These passages may not specially apply to the
future life ; but their 'spirit pervades al
God's dealings with inon.

you to see what I hold. ,

There are times when a dream delicious
Steals into a musing hour ,
jikoa faoo with love capricious
That peeps from n woodland bower ;
And ono dear sccno comes changeless ,
A wooded hill and a river ;
A deep cold bond where tlio lilies end ,
And the elm tree shadows quiver.
And I lie on'tho bank there dreaming ,
That the lifo 1 live is a dream ;
? battho real is but tlio scomimr ,
Vntl the true Is the lun-flc ked stream ,
ioneath mo the perch nnd the beaver sail
past 1 [
In the dim , cool depths of the river ;
The struRpllngily breaks the mirrored shy
And thoelin tree shadows quiver ,
[ "hero are voices * of children away on the
hill ;
Them are bees thro' the flag flowers
hunimlne ;
Pho llphtcrman calls to the lock , and the mill
On the further side Is drumming ;
And I sink to sleep in my dream of n dream ,
In the grass by the brink of the river ,
Where the voices blend ana the lllios end ,
And the elm tree shadows quiver.
Like a gift from ttio'rtaat-ls the kindly dream ,
For the sorrow and passion and pain
Are adrift like the loaves on tBo breast of
the btreum ,
And thocnild-hfe comes again.
Oh , the sweet , sweetpain of n Joy that died
Of a pain thatjis jorforever |
Oh , tbb lito.thaUdieililh. the stormy tide
That was once my sun-flecked river.
