M There will come, Alike, the day of trial unto all, And the rude world will buflet us alike; Temptation hath a music for all ears; ' And mad ambition trumpetelh to all; And ungovernable thought, within, Will be in every bosom eloquent: Hut when the silence and the calm come on And the high seal of character is set, We shall not all bs similar." Ill tho really pleasant, but monotonous and uneventful life of a passenger on n steamer up our own Missouri, how of ten trivial incidents become to us subjects of deep interest. A lenuiiful landscape, an Indian hut, or a new passenger, awa kening a curiosity and interest, that amid the cares and duties devolving upon us in our own homes, would scarcely attract our attention. Near the close of a hot sultry day that had been unusually uneventful and dull, as I came into the bitting room, I discovered a strange faced new passen ger, among the pleasant group of ladies assembled there. Below the medium height, plain fea tures, plainly dressed, unusually quiet, and unobtrusive in her manners, why did my eye so often turn to hers, and observe every movement with such deep interebt ? Tho bloom and freshness of youth had long since passed care and trial had thrown their shadow over that face, yet there was on that calm brow, and in that mild eye, an expression which awakened in my henrt, a deeper interest than if she had been invested with the so often high ly prized advantages of youth, beauty and fortune. As a ' Mason's daughter" she saught my husband's protection and assis tance during her three days passage, and through his influence we became even in timately acquainted. How very sad, but really romantic and interesting had been her history. She was a native of Scotland, a cousin of the great poet Pollock, and was born, and had lived for many years, but thirty miles from his former home. Her husband had been a clergyman, and soon after their marriage they sought a home in our country. Then followed many years of usefulness and quiet do mestic happiness. I3ut the large tears gathered in her eyes as she told me of the lost huslmnd of her youth, and the seven children who had gathered around her fireside, warm and rosy with youth ful health nnd beauty, and the hopes she then so dearly cherished of a happy fu ture, and a quiet old age, sustained and comforted by him, who had so tenderly shielded her from the rough storms of life, mingled with visions of honor and usefulness for the little ones who were like olive plants about her table. Then fol lowed afflictions and bereavements so ter rible, that with almost hushed breath, I listened to the sad story. Side by side in a far distant churchyard with folded hands, and closed eyes, 6lept j that little family group. The father la ken from her iu the prime of life, and in the pride of manhood's strength, and all that little band of children whose merry laugh, and joyous prattle, had been for her ears sweetest music. And she that childless widow walked the earth alone, courageously pursuing the thorny, rugged path of duty meekiy trusting by wearing " the crown of thornes." The golden romantic dreams of youth had indeed passed from her forever: and well she knew no hearts cotdj eve' beat for her, like those over which the green sod was now retting, but th$ ministrations of na ture had even had for her the moat sooth ing influence. The heavens were still bending above her in majesty and beau ty there were the fleecy golden tinted clouds the warm suulight the dewy flowers the forest clad hills vocal with the happy song of birds. Shoull she live surrounded by to much that was so beautiful, unmindful of the giver! No! they brought to her heart tha same thrill of pleasure, as when ehe was guileless child, aud for hr at times they seemed peopled by shadowy forms, invisible to other eyes, and sho at times almost fan cied angel voices mingled with the whis nered music of tho rustling leaves. Her treasures were in Heaven, theie was her heart also. Her parents offered her a home, and urgently insisted that from the time of her bereavement sho should remain with them. She was not needed there. Should she be satisfied to lead an iJlo, useless life iu a world where there was so much to do ? Sho had no family cores, but how well had her life's sorrows her chastened spirit her yearning tenderness for chil dren fitted her to instruct others, and thus many years of her life had passed as governess and teacher, and she was then on her way to her school. A truly use ful life can never be a very unhappy one. The weary dove had at last found the ol ive branch the bow of peace was iu the heavens and in the distant future, the eye of faith discerned a haven of rest, where she should be reunited to the loved ones who had gone before. J. E. Nvt. Col. Noble's H'ajron-Itoad Fine dltlon. Col. Win. II. Nobles, superintendent of the wagon-road from Fort Ridgely to the South Tass of tho Rocky Mountains, ar rived at St. Paul on the 23d ult., direct from Old Fort Lookout, on the Mississ ippi river. Col. N. left tho Missouri on the 1st of September, and accompanied his party as for eastward as the Bi' Sioux river, A council was held with the Yanktons about the middle of August,' on tho Big Sioux, when permission was obtained to lay out the road over the unccded land, luk-pa-du-ta, Colonel Noblo thinks, has gone west of the Missouri, accompanied by tho six remaining warriors of his band. The policy adopted by Superintendent Cullen, of employing Indians lo pursue ink-pa-du-ta, lius had a most happy cf' feet upon tho Sioux, and meets with deci ded approval upon the frontier. Colonel Nobles and his party have sur veyed and partially constructed a good wagon road from Fort Ridgely on the Minnesota river to a point on tho Miss ouri river, opposite Old Fort Lookout. 1 he distance between these two points is two hundred and forty miles. The road is nearly on nn air-line, Fori Lookout be ing but about half a degree south of Fort Hugely. Two roads wero mode from Sandy Hill river to the Missouri, one striking the river at Lookout, and passing mrougn a wen-wooueu anu water-u coun try, and tho other running southwest from Sandy Hill river, to the old Fort Aux Ctdres, and passing through an inf 2rior co mtry in respect to wood and water. The road from Fort Ridgely follow the Cottonwood river for some distance in a southwest direction; then proceeds westwardly until it strikes Lake Benton ; passes over the Cjtcau des Prairies, via tho natural roadway, called Hole-in-thV Mountain, and crosses the Big Sioux riv er two miles below the town of Medary. ilia rouu is mm out irom tue Xiig Moux lo the James river, in a direct westerly direction, and crosses the latter stream a aw miles north of Suudy Hill river. l rom this point its course is due west to tliti Missouri. Between Fort Ridgely and the Missou ri, by the road laid out, a horse cannot travel two hours without finding water. Springs, lakes, and streams are plentiful on the route. The road from Fort RiJgely to the Missouri is a good one, and a light bug gy or heavily laden wmgon can be driven over it without dilUcuhy. At no point on the road is the grade higher than eighty feet to the mile, and this grade only oc curs in ascending the high prairie bet ween the James River and the Miss ouri. But two bridges, both over the Cotton wood river, wilt be necessary on the road. Good fording places have been secured at all the streams, and, wherevej it was ad visable, the bottoms of the rivers were paved with boulders. Particularly on the Sioux and James rivers safe and conven ient fords have ben selected. Care has been taken to construct a saf road over all the swamps and lowlands. To designate the road, mounds have been constructed, from three to five feel in height, on the side of the road, its en tire length. These mounds are placed at an interval of a quarter and half-mile, and nearer together wherever rTis deem ed necessary. This mound buildin; was the raoit laborious work performed on the NO. 52. expedition; nearly twenty-five hundred were constructed between Fort Ridgely and the Missouri. The parly did not design proceeding futher than the Missouri this season. Between Fort Ridgely and the James river, tho country is excellent ; it resem bles, with the exception of tho absence of timber, the general appearance of south' ern and middle Minnesota. The prairies are rolling, and, water is plentiful and good. The valley of tho James river Colonel Noblo represents as a paradise for the grazier. It is from one to three miles wide, devoid of timber, yet with a growth of grass una qualed in tha coun try in extent and richness. There is nothing to prevent jho entire country be tween Fori Ridgoly and James river be ing densely settled but the scarcity of timber. Tho land is very rich, and wa tcr is plentiful in lakes, running streams' and springs. Beyond tho James river tho character of the country changes, It is entirely de void of timber, and water is scarce, and brackish and saline in its character. This continues until the streams emptying di rectly into the Missouri are leached. Wood then becomes more plentiful, and exists in suflicient quantities to meet the wants of tho settlements. Col. Nobles has, of tho work allotted to him, but to complete tha portion between Fort Lookout and the South Pass, dis tance of 350 nsiles. Tho James river, at the point where the road crosses it, is navigable for a small class of steamboats. This is about one hundred miles from the mouth. Colonel Nobles is of opinion it is navigable lor the same class of boats one hundred miles' north of the road-crossing The river is narrow, crooked, de ;p, and sluggish. -SI. Paul Pioneer. Good News rom the Lowell Ore natives. The Lowell (Mass.) Newi of the 3d inst., says : .. ; Yesterday afternoon, as about 160 of. tho operatives at tho Middlesex Mills were assembled in the countintr-room to bo paid off, a messaae came from Boston to " Keep on." It went through the crowd like an electric shock. Countenances that' were lentrtheni'd and desponding, sudden. ly brightened with joy. The information rapidly spread that Samuel Lawrence had arrived from England and that arrange ments would bo made so that the mills would not stop. Hundreds tt hearts beat happily hearts that had been weighed down with the desolate prospect of winter coming On, families to support, and no work. The choice was given to all those in waiting nt the desk of the paymaster to take their wages then or go back to work and wait till the regular payment. It is needless to say that the money remained in the hands of the paymaster. Br r 4 kino the Sabbath. Rev. Henry Ward Bf echer, depreciating the custom of repeated service on Sunday, says that the first service is usually cream, the second milk, and the third milk and water, and the last is the one that usually sticks by the hearers of tho three. A man who has a family and goes to the Sunday School in" the morning at nine o.clock, to church at half-past ten o'clock, to church again in the afternoon, and then again perhaps in the evening, ought to be tried for breaking the Sabbath. If he could hear three sermons profitably, he must be an extraordinary ge nius at hearing. The keeper of a certain livery stable not a great way off, was in the habit of cauliouing his customers, when they left the premises, not to drive fast, and this habit finally became a second nature to him. On one occasion, one of his pat rons came for a team to join a funeral pro cession, and the owner of the horse, ou handing him the reins, as usual, mechan ically observed t'Don'l drive fast!" "Look here, old fellow," exclaimed the customer, "I'm bound to keep up with the procession, if I kill the horse!" Yarmouth Register. Robbert or the U. S. Mi.it at Sax Fbakcisco. The San Francisco Herald of the 20th ult., states that Wm. Bein, who had been for some time employed in the coiners' Ueparunent of the U. S. Mint in that city, was arrested, on the dav nrevi- ous, on suspicion of having abstracted gold trom toe establishment, ilia apartment was searched, and about $8000 in gold found, together with deeds of property to near the value of (20,000. He adrai'ted his peculations, and restored 3,300 of the amount. It was supposed from the wax in which the gold filings were found, that he committed the thefts by means of was placed under the instep of the boots, to which the fold when trod upon adhered. The Herald says, "Since his arrest, he has' acknowledged that he has been carrying' on tha pilfering ever xiaca tha esubiah ment of the mint m that cit, , ; f . r i
