Twelve bridges, four manufaetories, and several dwellings, valued at about half a million dollars, were destroyed, beside the vegetation. in the 'pat-li of the flood being generally devastated. Happily no lives were lost, warning being given in time. . . From all accounte, the casualty was due to the imperfect construction of the reservoirs, which appear to have been mere mud banks built some forty years ago. The recent heavy rains probably proved too much for the sustaining power of the soil, and hence the barriers gave way.

The balance of the interview was of a strictly private and domestic cliamctui', not to be pi'ofaned bypublication. But to this day ’Liel is no good singist. “ 7Liel ! ” exclaimed the “ old man,” in a, tone of exliostulation, with an 1111- der-tono of castigntion. “ ’Lie], I’ve tried to bring you up :1 decent and moral boy; and now, when you ought to be dressing for meeting, here yon are saw- ing clapboard? on Sunday 3.” Eliel Calkins lives in the rustic vilâ€" large of â€"â€". ’Licl is no singist, for ’Liel’s musical efforts were discouraged in their first timid ventures. Besides, ’Liel had to commence farther back than most folks. His first essay resultâ€" ed in breaking up a Sundayâ€"school “in a row ;” and this resulted in the “ old man ” peremptorily ordering the abash- ed ’Liel to attend singing-school. ’Liel went, but on the first night discreetly kept silent, wholly absorbed in observ- ing how others surmounted the diflicul- ties which environ “ Days of Absence,” and in endeavorng to note, for future use, “the lick it was done with.” On the following Sabbath ’Liel took his “ Missouri Harmony,” and repaired to the attic to practice. He had about arâ€" rived at the conclusion that he Was worrying no little melody out of that “hymn,” when he heard a stealthy step on the stairs. Looking nervously arâ€" ound, he beheld the failing eyes of the " old man ” looking ‘_‘ hickory withes ” at him. He likewise heard a Voice, to him less musical than his own dismal creaking. “ As true as the first; of John,” writes an Ohio correspondent, is the following: CCOUNTANT, Book-Keeper, Convey- ancer, and Commission Agent for the sale or purchase of lands, farm stock, &c., also for tlxecollection of rents, notes and ao‘ counts.

And so Arthur Van Enden’s sketâ€" ches multiplied, but all had the same little figure, either with it checked handkerchief over the head, or with a golden mass of hair falling over the shoulder, and flickerigig life sunlight among the trees as she climbed over the rocks by the waterfall. Ah, little Rachel, how bright the world is, how the birds sing, how merrily the waters dash, how the flowers/bloom ; and dear- er, sweeter than all are the words which fall on your earsâ€"4th: low, deep tones of the voice you love 5 and more thrill- ing still the earnest look from those dark eyes. Ah, your mother was wrong â€"the story was rightâ€"there are thrills of pleasure and depths of joy in the world which she has never known. “He wanted to sketch views in the Valley.” Ah, yes ; and one View above all othersâ€"-â€"t\v0 soft Violet eyes ; a calm white brow shaded, I might almost say lighted, by golden waves ofhail‘; a face so sweet that all the hills and trees seemed only waiting to serve as back- ground to it. That isn’t far-fetched, as they say, is it’.l ‘Vas not man madein the image of the heavenly, to have “do- minion over all the earth Z” And the next day, when the party rode up before the door on horseback, Van Enden was ready with his knap- sack to join their gay company. .And so their merry excursions went on fora few days. when for some reason or rath- er he no longer seemed to care to join them. Belle pouted, and Seymour swore; but all to no effect. Hayden laughed at him for his laziness; but he told him he wanted to sketch the View in the valley ; and finding all entreaty of no avail, they finally left him to himself altogether. There were Hayden, and Ruyton, and Seymourâ€"all fellows of his set. There was Bella Ruytel‘, with her fath- erand mother; and her cousin, Miss Douglas the heiress. It was all planned outâ€"the men-lest, gayest season ever spent. He haul a small party of friends in the yillagn Deal" by. Many were the excursions they had planned, the horse- back rides, the walks' the fishing, the huntiug-all this in one month!

She knows there is inuch for her hands to ' doâ€" Muny steps for her busy feet ; But the thoughts of the work leave no room for care. And she feels herself ready to do and dare, And her face glows brave and sweet. She looks down into the baby’s eyes, And she feels a power anew, As she thinks of the strength that she must findâ€" A strength that shall guide the heart and mind To keep the eyes clear and true. “ Health-lift, indeed, my darling,” As she holds her baby tight, “'llile the life blood throbs with a quicker flow, As she thinks her strength would surely go If the weight should ova seem light.

Where’s all the folks ?” “ Father’é out in the porch.” “Mr. Van Endenâ€"is he there ?” U N0.” But a sudden step in the yard made her heart beat faster again. It was he this time. Ah ! how like a hero he looked to her, and that deferential The moon shone now, and a bird was singing; but all else was still. Then she sawma shadow, and her heart beat fast; but it was only her mother â€"only her mother. Ah, it is hard when one comes to that. “ Well, Rachel, what be you doing there, and in your §unduy dream, too ? It won’t be fit to Wear to meetin’.” “Arthur,” she interruptedm“ Mr. Van Enden, there’s a lady and gen- tleman to see you down stairsâ€"an old gentleman.” ' He looked puzzled, then vexed. “Did they give you their cards ?” “ No.” - When she had delivered her mesâ€" sage, she went out to the back door and sat on the little step. She thought they would go before long, and then he would come and seek her out. But they staid so long. Finally she heard the horses go away; but Arthur did not come. Then her father came, and she lighted his pipe for him; and the “hired man ” came and sat down with him ; and they talked about the meadowâ€"grass and the hill-grass, and the horses’ hoofs ; and Rachel went to the window and looked out wearily. “No, yes yes, sir, I think so; I’ll see." And she went back up the stairs and knocked at his door. He opened it, and looked at the fair little creature in admiration. “ Ah, Marguerite, whatâ€"” Rachel Deans started back confused. “Ah, the secret,” said the gentleman, aside ; and then turning to her, said: “ Cafi yod tell me if DEC/Van Braden is here ’1” When tea was over, and the “ hired mun ” had gone, and the dishes were ‘ washed and put away, she went up into her room. She wanted especially to be pretty that night. She never had thought much more about it than the flowers in the glen ; but to-night she reâ€" membered some little blue ribbon\5he had put in her drawer, and she wound her hair over her head and down in curls over her back, and bound it with the ribbon. Then she put on the white cambric which had been “done up for Sunday.” As she glanced in the old worn looking-glass, she half smiled at the image which glorified it ; and as she looked she wove bright dreams of the future with her tender thoughts. “I think of thee,” she sang over and over as she flew down the stair. But lo I at the open door stood, instead of Ar- thur, two strangersâ€"e lady and a gen- tlemanâ€"and behind them a large barâ€" ouche, with two grey horses, who impa- tiently pawed the ground and chaf'ed at the tight hold of the driver on his seat. And poor little Rachel looked down at the handsome face and listened to file pleading tones. Alas for the Unrâ€" deu of Edenâ€"“ N 0, Arthmyw-Mr. Van Enden, no,” she said and bade him read on. “ You needn’t start, Rachel. There, sit down again as you .were before. N 0w tell me, have I done anything wrong? \Vouldn’t it have been wrong if I had treated any one else so? Is it wrong as it is '2’ The young girl, half in fear, started back. “ Come, little maiden, stand up ; let me see 110w tall you are,”he said, rising to his feet. Unqucstiouingly, she rose, and he drew her to his side. “ Your head comes just to my heart, little one. Lookgip here.” And when she looked he befit his head and kissed her. Rachel’s heart beat'fast. \leth was he saying 2 What did he mean Cl \Vas there anywhere an island where it was always summer? VVouldu’t they be happy together unless it was? and was it only as birds they could be together"! So rapidly passed one thought onto anâ€" other in her mind. Suddenly he closed the book, and taking her hands in his, said : “ Rachel, darling, how happy we should be if we could he always together, just so! If we were like thoselittle birds up in the tree there, we would fly off to some lit- tle island, and it should be always sum- mer, and we would live there forever.” his hand. There sat Rachel, on a mound of moss and flowers, passing her fingers through the ferns and maidenhair grow- ing by her side; and like a devoted slave he threw himself at her feet. He opened the book at a scene between Faust and Margaret. A thought pass- ed through his mind as he looked up at the expectant face above him. After all it is better fun reading to these little girls who Had never heard anything, than to those others in New York who either know something or havn’t a mind for anything but lace ; and after look- ing up again for inspiration, he began to read. For dark its-the present may be, there is even the glimpse of the beau- tiful Hereafter to lighten its clouds, and to cheer the heart- fainting under its heavy trials, which dreams that the sweet hopes that come to naught in this unsatisfying world, shall there bud and blossom, and bear glorious fruit. ' Yonder,in a tumble-down cottage, whose surroundings bespeak poverty and shiftlessness; by the light of a dim tallow candle, a faded and bag- gard woman is mending a tattered pair of trousers. A sleepy child lies on the floor beside her, and in the chimney corner, smoking a black clay pipe, sits a heavy, stupid look- ing man drying his wet boots by the feeble blaze. The wife’s thoughts are wandering. She has forgotten her present cares ; the children in the inner room sleep unheeded, and look~ ing out into the starlight night, through the half opened door, she sees the moon rise over the valley, and remembers a far-off summer of dz ys made beautiful by a loving presâ€" ence. She sees again the glance that thrilled, she hears themurmurofa ten- der voice saying, “ Is it Wrong as it is ?” and a soft, girlish flush warms her pale cheek, and her sunken eyes glow with a remembered fire. Rachel wakes from her dream,, and comes back to the realities with a start, humbly and quietly obeying her rough husband’s bidding, and tak- ing up once more the burden of her simple life, which has its cares, its sorrows, and after all its rare joys. “ I say, old woman, hand us along a. bit; of terbackcr, will yer ?” Where was he? Back‘on the Hud- sonâ€"his little sketchâ€"book hidden away in the back part of a drawerâ€"â€" his Faust and M argaretside by side on a book-shelf with the Van Enden gen- ealogy. Not long after, a notice of ‘his marriage to Miss Douglas appear- ed in the papers. Everybody said it was a ‘brilliant matchâ€"she was a great heiress, and her ancestry dated back even beyond the ark. She was older than he, but that \vasx1o matter. She was, with all her beatty and grandeur, as cold as the snow- crowned Jungfrau ; but she would give elegant receptions, she would grace society. And Rachelâ€"did she ever hear of Rachel ?â€"â€"does Van En-1 den, the proud business-man, .the mer- chant prince, ever think of the little “ episode ” among the hills ? If not, why did he hide his face the other day when Nillson was playing the role of Margaret?” , And Rachel, where is she? The old house stands neglected, its shutters falling from the hinge, the garden gate nailed up, the roses stragâ€" gling over the weather-beaten front. Behind it, the glen is all unchanged, the spring bubbles cool and fresh, the birds are calling overhead, but the little maiden no longer fills her pitch- er with its sparkling waters. She thought he might come back fo-morrowrâ€"sshe thnughtaletter mi ght come. But neither ever came. And What did she say? what did she do ? She said, rather faintly, “I guess not,” and filled his cup. And the day passed. She washed the dish- es, milked the cows, fed the chickens -â€"â€"she did not do either very wellâ€"â€" and she did the same the next day, and the day after, and the day after that, ' “T0in101‘1‘0\v, still Lo-morrow creeps on this pretty face from day to day.” “Paid 213 much as I asked him.” “Here, Rachel, fill Jacob’s cup. For sakes, girl, don’t sealt him with the copper. What’s the matter with the child? You’re as white as a sheet. Didn’t lose yew heart to the city man, did ye ?” ' “Smart enough,” responded his wife, rather crustily. “Paid well, too, didn,t he?” Raclxél feit d‘izzy. She never had faintedâ€"Twas she going to now ? How did people die ?~â€"was that like faintr ing ‘3 _ “ \Vell, so our summer boarder’s gone,” said Mr. Deans, as he took the cup. When she awoke it was later than usual. She came down to find break- ‘ fast on the table, and her father, moth- er and J acoh there before her. Where was Mr. Van Endemâ€"Arthur, her Arthur? There was not even any plate for him. She longed to ask? Why shouldn’t she? ‘She could not tell, bat somehow she could not speak. What had made her late? She tried to eat, but everything choked her, and she was glad when her father told her to get up and pour out the coffee. Ifhe had not. she was sure she would have cried.” “ The living link ”---D0g, “\Vhat can he want to say to her?" she thought; and she waited, but they did not come back, and her father eome and told her to go to bed, 01- she wouldn’t be up to get break- fast; so she went, but her head felt hot and weary, arid she could not sleep until near morning, when she fell into a restless slumber. “ I would like to speak to you a few minutes, Mrs. Dean's,” he saidha‘nd 1101' mother rose and went out of the room with him. way he had of speaking to her moth- er. This time he had not: looked zit he]: “ Smart young fellow, wasn’t he ?” A Lebanon (Ky) gent in greeting a long parted wife, broke one of her ribs. Among such a multitude of beasts as are here received, Mr. Buckle’s 122W of averages would tell you that there will be a certain few monstrosâ€" itiee; and you will probably be showu one or two Texas steers which look much more like elephants or mam- moths than horned oxen; perhaps a twoâ€"headed sheep, or a six-legged hog; and, indeed, when Isaw the stables they contained a collection which would have turned the face of a Barnum greenwith envy. It will cost two millions when it is completed ; is a pecuniary success, as it deserves to be ; and when you hear that so long ago as 1869 Chicago reâ€" ceived and sent off 403,102 head of cattle, 1,661,869 hogs, and 340,072 sheep, and that it will probably reâ€" main for years one of the greatest cattle markets in the world, you wi ll see the need for such elaborate ar- rangements as I have described, and, if you are a humane person, will be pleased that these immense droves of animals are kindly cared for and com- fortably lodged and fed on their way to a market. Of course, as the “lower animals ” do not help themselves, aconsiderâ€" able force of men is needed to attend upon those gathered here. The com- pany receives and cares for all ani- mals sent to it. It has thus takenin, penned, fed, watered, littered, and taken account of 41,000 hogs, 3000 cattle, and 2000 sheep iun a singleday land that without accident, hitch or delay. From 175 to 200 men are constantly employed in this labor ; and to accommodate these and their families numerous cottages have been built, while-a town hall for public meetings and lectures, a church, a Sunday school, and a well-kept day school provide for their instruction; and amusement. The hotel, which‘ has bath-rooms, and is in other res- pects well fitted, is for the use of the drovers and owners of cattle, whom business brings hither. At the Exâ€" change sales are effected, and the news of a sale may be sent to Maine or Texas by a telegraph from the same room, While the money paid may be securely deposited in the bank, which is under the same roof. Thus you will see that this surprising enterprise is completely furnished in every part ; and it will not be the least part of your surprise and pleas- ure to find that .this whole business, which about New York often involves painful brutalities, is here conducted as quietly as though a Quaker pre- sided over it, and with as much care for the feelings of the dumb brutes as though good Mr. Bergh were looking on all the time. = road which runs into Chicago. it has two Artesian wells, one 1032, the other 1190 feet deep, which, being tspouting wells, send the water into huge tanks forty-five feet high, whence it is distributed all over the place in pipes. Fourteen fire-plugs are-ready to furnish, water iii-ease of fire ; immense stacks of hay and large granaries of corn contain the food needed for the beasts ; and, I believe, a train of palace cattle cars new bears the emigrant animals from this their city comfortably to the Eastern butchers. It has thirtyâ€"five miles of sewers; ten miles of streets and alloys, all paved with wood ; three miles of wa- ter troughs, all so arranged that the water may be stopped offal; any point; 2300 gates, which are the front doors, so to speak, of the place; 15,000 open pens, heavily fenced in with double plank ,leO acres are covered‘ with pensf‘or cattle, and all these are floored with three-inch plank; 800 covered sheds for sheep and hogs; and seven- teen miles of railroad track connect this city of the beasts with every "n‘J This city of the beasts has streets, sewers, drains ; it has water laid on ; it is lighted with gas; it has a bank, an eXehange, a telegraph-ofl‘ico, a post- office, an admirably kept hotel ; it has even a newspaperâ€"else it would not be an American city. It has very comfort-able accommodations for 118,â€" 350 residents namely, 21,000 head of cattle, 75,000 hogs, 22,000 sheep, with stalls ‘for 350 horses. It conâ€" tains 345 acres of land; and when all this is prepared for use, 210,000 head of cattle can be lodged, fed, and cared for there at once, and with the cerâ€" tainty that not one Will suffer or go astray. In practice the tourist bound to California will do well to stop two days in Chicago, and one day in Salt Lake City, in which case he would get to San Francisco in ten da n, and with surprisingly little fatigue, and 1he will have seen several very re- markable sights on the way. For instanee, though Chicago itself was burned and is not yet rebuilt, the ruin is worth seeing; and near at hand, accessible by frequent trains, he may find one of the most characteristic sights of our continent, the great Chi- cago st’oekâ€"yardSâ€"a city whose inha- bit-ants are cattle, sheep, and hogs,‘ and where these creatures are so well cared for that many a poor human being supposed to have an immortal and amenable soul, living in a New York tenement-house, is neither so cleanly lodged nor so well protected against harm or cruelty. The Chicago Stock-Yards Iie faded away from there, an stayed in that neighborhood two days, endeavoring to cultivate an acquaintance with the man who sent him there. “Lookey here, mister, you said he was an honorable man and an af- fectionate husband, when you know you lie; he wasn’t no such thing. It’s true I’ve lost him, but he ain't dead ; he ain’t the kind that dies. He run off last Wednesday with another woman, and doesn’t need a tombstone, I’m sorryto say; and I’d be much obleeged to you if you’d. light out, and not come back here until you have an occasion, mister.” Gibbs is a tombstone agent. He finds it to his advantage to work upon the feelings in making a sale. The other day he happened to be in a, strange section, and was sent to call upon a Mrs. Brown, who had lately lost her husband. He introduced himself and was invited to sit down ; spoke of the weather, and then getâ€" ting around to business, said rather tenderly,â€" - “ So, you have lost your husband ?" She wept, and said that it had that resemblance. He said he sympathiz- ed with her in her hour of afl‘liction ; that the best of friends were doomed to part, and but few knew any more whose turn would be next. He had not the honor of being’ acquainted with Mr. Brown, but he had heard him spoken of all over the country in the highest terms of praise (this was his usual style whether he had or not); everybody considered him an honorable man, and an affectionate husband, and they mourned his loss with the most tender affection, and he deserved a fitting memorial to his memory; and as it was the last sad rite she could do, he begged her to look over some excellent monumen- tal designs in Italian and American marble, which he was prepared to sell at the lowest terms. Said she-â€" This was too much. Dignity re- laxed into a laugh, and the driver got a fare for a down-town hotel. “ Winsur House ! Whose going up to the Winsur?” , 2 “ Astor House, sir l” “Breevoort House? Breevoort ?" â€"“ Meatropolitan Hotel ?”»~“ Right down Broadway ?” “ ’Ere you are, kerridge, sir ?” The traveler, looming up like a 10- pin among vinegar cruets, and face as placid as a pan of milk, was calmly and silently moving away from the crowd of jarvis, who looked after him with something like amazement, when a sudden thought seemed to strike one, who, running after him, seized hold of one of the handles of his traâ€" velling bagâ€" 9 ‘fDeaf and Dumb Asylum, sir Going right up.” “ Kerridge, sir, kerrid'gel?» Wan't’e'r ride up ?” ’ No response from the passenger, and nota muscle moved at this ap- peal. Then there was a rush of“ half a dozen. ‘ -’ 1 ~- “ Say Nicholas Hotel ? Say Nich- olas Hotel coach; this way for the Say Nicholas.” Broadbrim stalked right on With- outa word. Another knight of" the whip charged down upon him. “ Feeâ€"thavanoo Hotel! Fith Av enoo~goin ritupf Fith Avenoo ?” A tall, portly, dignified citizen of the Quaker persuasion, well-knownin Philadelphia, arrived in New York the other day, and having no baggage but a light traveling satchel, was ob terly oblivious to the appeals of the hackmen as he emerged from the rail- road station. The Russians have lately~vadopttd a new shell which, according to recent experiments, seems to be a formidable projectile. It is well known that with the ordinary elongated bolt '11. ricochet fire cannot be maintained; and as this species of firing is very effective against masses of troops, the loss is a matter of considerable, mo- ment. The sczaroch, for such is the name of the new projectile, is either a percussion or time shell and a shot, the latter of which ricochets beyond the point of explosion of the bursting charge. The shell portion is a sim- ple iron cylinder, to one end of which is secured, by a thin sheet of lead, a 5g herical shot. On leaving the gun the combined projectile acts like an ordinary elon- gated shell; but as soon as the explo- sion of the charge takes place, the cylinder of. course flies in pieces, while the shot, impelled by the additional velocity and by reason of its form, ricochets for hundreds of feet ahead. In firing at batteries, the double effect of this projectile comes into excellent use, as the shell might be exploded among the guns, while the ball would strike far in the rear among the reâ€" serve troops ; or while the shell might burst in the front rank of an advanc- ing column, the ball would continue plowing its way through several sue- ceeding ranks.
