Louise CHANDLER Mouton.

If you cateh a breath of sweetness, And follow the odorous hiat

Throuryh woods where the dead leaves rustle, |

And the golden mosses glint.

Along the apicy sea-coast, Over the desolate down,

You will find the dainty May -flowers When you come to Plymouth town.

Where the shy Spring tends her darlings. And hides them away from sight,

Pull off the covering leaf eprays, Aud gather them pink and white,

Tinted by mystical ttoonlight, Freshened by frosty dew,

Till the fair, transparent blossoms To their pure perfection grew.

Then carry them home to your lady, For flower of the spring is she,—

Pink and white, and dainty and sligh*, And lovely as lovely can be.

Ehall they die because she is fair, Or live becuuse she is sweet?

They will know for which they were born, But you-- must wait at her feet.

DISILLUSION.

Etizavetu Akers ALLEN.

I dreamed that I had long been dead— Spring rein avd summer light and bloom Had swept acioss my lonesome bed, With clover-seentand wild bees’ boom Lightening the place of halfits gloom.

Serene anil calm. my qniet ghost Came softly buck to see the place Wherejl had joyed and suffered mest— To look upon his grieving face Whose memory death could not erage.

But he, my love, whom evenin heaven I yearned to comfort and sustdin, Kvowing how sore his heart was tiven— My love, with life so changed to pain That he could never love again=

Forgettal of tne golden bani On my dead finger slumbering,

Now bent above another hand, Aud clasped and kisseti the dainty thing, And wliispered of another ring.

Aias, poor ghost! I felt a thril— A endden stab of mortal: pain—

And sighed. We shivered: ‘* Ah, how cliill The air has grown, and full of rain, My darling, kiss me warm again !”

Why should I linger? As I passed Her lips touched shyly, murmuring low, Jusfgwhere wy,own had kissed their last, Only so liitle while ago; ‘¢ Ain, well,” I said, “ tis better se.”

But one, who in my life passed by With friendship's coolest touch and tone, I tonnd beneath the darkening sky, Beside my grave all bramble-grown, With sorrow iu his eyes—alone.

A tear, down-glittering as he stood, Hung, star like, in the grass below ; I blessed him in my gratitude. Fe smiled: “ Dear heart, if she could know How sweet these brier-blossoms grow !'

It has broad streets and a few fine blocks and stately buildings, but the streets are chiefly very stragglisg, and the buildings commonplace.

three heavily laden wagons, there to be re- checked for the West. The scene is thus given by one of our party in his sketch. book : —The passengers were ranged outside a bar, aud as some Saratoga trunk or treasured valise of frail material escaped from the hands of the bag~age master with a heavy *thad,” an official called out the number of the check

person who held the counter part must call cut sonorously ‘‘check,’’ until it seemed al- most Jike a monster game of chess. The sound was echced from all points of the com- pass, aud in ali tones, from the shrill treble of the woman, and the very uneven tenor of the hobble-de-hoy up to the gruff and grow- ling bass of the man, whose patience, like that of most of us, needed a ‘further work,’ Some came out in debris but were repaired mest promptly by a smart fellow, who ‘‘roped”? for half a dollar valises which had come asunder, and for a dollar made damaged woeden trunks ‘¢watranted to carry.’ At length the struggle to get the baggage re- checked is crowned with success, and with a seat engaged in the Pullman Palace Car, for which there is an extra charge of eight dol- lars, we are ready for our jouruey of more than a thousand miles, to Oden.

And now that we are comfortably settled for a ride of fifty-five hours, we have need to call ito requisition every provision we have made to relheve the weariness of travel. One of our party, somewhat playfully, boasted tnat he bad every thing needed, but whea asked | by the head of the party for a **pulpit,”’ Lo! he had it not. Whether the gentleman would have used the article ii he had been furnished. your correspondent cannot say ; certainly if be |had he wonld have found an interested and delighted audience. Weare in the “* Montana,”’ a paiace car; and certainly to cail it a palace is not the language ¢f figure, but cf unvan- ished fact. How different from the close cramped, ill.veutilated ordinary car! The in- ventive genius of the American mind has cer- tainly been directed to the convenience and comfort of travel with marked syecess, This lear you can make your home vy day, the double windows shutting out the ncise, exclu- i ding the dust of travel; and at night your | cushioued seat is transformed into a comfor jtable bed. All that 1s wanting on thie road is the hotel car, suchas we had between Him ilton and Chicago, which has at the reara kitchen with all-the avpliances necessary for cooking purposes.” The bill-of fareis expen- sive and the meal furnished js as good as can be obtained ut the Queen’s cr Rossin House, or any first clese hotel. Itis certainly a lux- ury to sit down in ove of these restaurant cars and enjoy leisurely a sumptuous meal while the train is speeding along, and the enjoyment 1s vreatly euliat.ced wheu you cotpare it with the ordinary 15 minutes for dinner at the re freshua nt station, when you must hastily bolt down hot-cakes, muddy coffee, guta-percha beef-steak and ill-cocked pastry ; but lice all other luxuries it is expensive, and these Yanks know how to charge. We started with a train of nine carriazes. First, the express car, then the mai!, next the baggage, next two of Pullman’s, then two first-eliss carriages, and aud last of all two second-class or smoking cars. Now, that we may be prepared to take full enjoyment out of the trip, let us cultivate an acquaintance with our fellow travellers, occupants of thesame car. Few of them are disposed to be reticent, These are business men, pleasure seekers, Texans going to Cal- iformia, C.xlfornians returning home. On board ure five nuns, from Montreal on their way to Oregon, and a party of “ Jabs’ on their way home from a visit to Europe. We have with us Ikeda , Ishibashi, Matzmura, and Pfonndes, members of a large exp-dition sent outat the expense of the Japanese Govern- ment to make enquiries respecting municipal government, agriculture, and commerce in England and the countries of Eirope. The jealousy of the.Japanese is :breaking down. The entire party includes Wooyeno, Special Commissioner of Law, and his interpreter, Von Siebold ; Ito, Minister of Finauce to Washin- ton; Sameshima, Pleno,:to London, and suite, and Nim Nan No Mea—both brothers of the late Emperor,

The foreigners jabber away in their own strange language, and the Americans around us pour out a continual stream of talk. O these talkers! Whata volume it would make if all they say ina day were printed! Who would be compelled to read it? Aud such atalk! Why, the gas and cinder and

lack smoke that comes rolling in volumes from the smvkesstack of the locomotive that drags us along is puvity itself, compared with what often comes out of their mouth.

Tben there is a baby, whose notions of wak- ing at night are very inconsiderate; whose cupacity of erying is very considerable, and who is perpetually meeting with accidents and troubles. What is more disturbing than a erying child? Boswell is reported to have said to Dr. Johnson, Sir, what would you do if you were shut upin a tower with a baby?” The character of the answer is left us to con- ceive. But certainly, our miniature little wo- man behaves very creditably.

We are passing through the wide sweep- ing plains of Nebraska. The country is still rich in agricultural resources, and well settled. Now we are passing the comfortable residence of the “ old settler ;” and now the rude cabin of the new settler, who has just come out to the far West to find a home. Vast and seemingly unbounded prairie stretches out be- fore you on all sides, These prairies are not as one would suppose, a vast level of monotono- us plane, but :olling uplands, rising from the Missouri River to the Rocky Mountains in a series of ascending billows. A magnificent earth ocean is rolling in majestic waves,

The road appears to be straight as an arrow and level as the floor; but we are rising stead- ily at the average rate of 9 feet per mile for the next 500 miles. At Omaha we were at an elevation of 968 feet ubove the level of the sea, and we are climbing the lomg western slope of the Rocky Mounteins, The rapid- flowing waters of the Platte River, which we

world. The increasing dryness of the air, and brodening power of the eye infuses anew spirit into you, and you are inspired with the sense of freedom. Some of our passengers must have felt itstrongly, for, though a spec- ial notice was posted up in a conspicucus place, positively prohibiting smoking in aay

part of the car, several would persistin filling |

the car with tobacco-smoke, to the great dis- gust and annoyance of others, In the even- ing, a8 the darkuess gathered, we wituetsed portions of the prairie on fire, and in the dis tance long lines of light would extend along | the homzon like the view of a brilliantly ill- }uminated city street, During the night we

We pass Prairie Dog) City, where these st:ange little animale ab-| ound. They burrow in the ground, and in throwing out the earth, rise a mound neaily a foot over theirholes, They are of a sandy

brown colour, and are about the size of a black squirrel, As we passed, the more shy litile fellows would run into their boles, others would etand up on their hauncbes and bark at us as disturbers of the peace. Now ve are 1ising rapidly, and the coldassures us that we have already gained an immense elevaticn. Snow sheds are passed ; patch: s of snow lie on the hill-sides. In the dark blue distance is seen the line of the Black Hilis. At 12 o’closk we reach Cheyenne, inthe Territory of Ws o- ming at an elevation of 6,041 feet above the level of the sea,

Deato or Freverick tue Great,—On the 15th, after a restless night, he did not wake until eleven o'clock in the morning, Fo-a short time he seemed coi fused. He then su n- moned his geuerals and secretaries, and gave his orders with all hls wonted precision. Ie then called in his three clerks, and dictated | to them up on various subjects. His directione to an ambassador, who was avout leaving, filled four quarto pages.

As night came on he fell into what may de calied the death-sleep. His breathing was painful and siertorous; his mind was wand r- 1g in delirious dreams ; his voice became in- articulate. At amoment of returning cons.:i- ousness he tried several times in vain to give some utterance to his thoughts. Then, with @ despairing expression of countenance, he sank back upon his piilow, Fever flushed his cheeks, aud bis eyes assumed some of their wonted fire. Thus the dying hours were pio- longed, as the friendicss monarch, surround -d by respectful attendants, slowly descended to the grave.

His feet and legs became cold. Death was stealing ite way toward the vitals. Abcut nine o’clock Wednesday evening a pain. u! ecugh commenced, with difficulty of breath- iuz, and an ominous rattle ia the throat. Oae of his dogs sat by bie bed side, and shivered with cold ; the king made asigu fur them to
