And answers back my smile.

By which all tlnleat things perceive
And recognise their friends.
Which drawt the pigeons to my band,
Peartets and trustful still.
Which makes tbe toolal tparrowt crowd

The homeless dog I meet
Forget his hungry lonesomenest
To fawn about my feet.
Ah, thougb the world seems full semetlmet.
Of darkness etid ol dust,
The soul Is not quite desolate
Which birds and babies trust ;
Life i not all a wilderne.s.
Made up of grief and gullo,
While eyes so shadowless and sweet
Smile back to those that smile.

KENDALL'8 nabrative continued.
Before wo set out, our commander dis
patched four of our bost mounted men to
make arrangements for provisions, while
the rest of us followed as fast as our weary
animals could travel. As we ueared the
point where wo knew food could hi pro
cured in abundance, not only our hunger,
but our impatieuce increasod. During the
day, I was fortunate enough, in company
with madcap Fitzgerald, to find half a hat
full of wild parsley, and this we swallowed
with the creotcfit avidity.
About the middle of the afternoon, one of
the four who had been sent forward return
ed with the joyful intelligence that they had
fallen in with a herd of no less than seven
teen thousand sheep, and had succeeded in
purchasing a sufficiency for the whole com
mand. Again wo put spurs to our horses,
and a rido of half an hour brought us up
with the shepherds and their charge, and a
fine camping ground on the llio Galinas.
Here a scene of feasting ensued wnicn
beggars description. We had been thirteen
days upon the road, with really not provis
ions 'ough for three, and now tht there
was an abundance, our btarving men at onco
abandoned themselves to eating perhaps I
should rather call it gormandizing or stuff
ing. Ko less than twenty large, fat sheep
had been purchased aiid dressed, and every
ramrod, as well a every stick that could be
found, was soon graced with smoking ribs
and shoulders, livera and hearts. Many
maile themselves sick by overeating; but an
attempt to restrain the appetites of half
starved men, except by main force, would
be the very extreme of folly, nad the food
been anything else than mutton, and ha 1 wo
not procured an ample supply of salt from
the Mexicans to 6?ason it, our rn.n might
have died of 6-irfeit.
I have never yet seen a treatise or disser
tation upon ttarvicg to d--ath I tun Fpeak

appear hollow and sunkon, hi body attenu

wild, olassv. cauuibalish. Tbe different
parts of the system now war with each oth
er. The stomach calls upou the legs to go
with it in quest of food: tho legB, from very
weakness, refuse." The sixth day brings
with it inoreased suffering, although the
pangs of hunger are lost in an overpowering
lancuorand aickuoss. The head becomes
giddy the ghosts of 'well-remeiuberod flin
tier pass in hideous processiou throngu tue
mind. The seventh day comes, winging
increased lassitude aud further prostration
of strength. The arms hang listlessly, the
lees draff heavily. Tho desire for food is
stiU left, to a degree, but it mudt bo brought,
not sought The misorablJ remnant of life
which still hangs to the sufferer is a burdon
almost too grievous to be borne; yet his in
herent love of existence induces a desire
stiU to presorve it, if it caa bo saved with

St. Louis, Aug. 16, 183.
Editor Free Press: A frightful collision
in a deep cut on the Iron Mountain Railroad
occurred yostorday at a point near the city.
The dead and the dying were brought here
last night on stretchers. Iiis'eimpty the
old story of weary and overworked engineers
and brakomen driving to their death after
the long watches of the night. The bewil
dered, sleepy and overworked engineer of
the train did not perceive that his watch had
stopped; ho missed his connections and the
awful crash came. The corporation can
stand it however. The widows and orphans,
will have to take care of themselves. Mr.
Williams, a faithful employe who lost his
life, stated to a reporter just before dying,
that his merciless employers on the Iron
Mountain ltailroad had compelled him to
work steadily without tho least iuteriniHsion
for three days and nights, until his mind
was fairly unseated. Among the dead is
Eugene Vinston, once a bright and beuutiful
boy, crushed and mangled beyond recogni
tion. Indeed, Mr. Editor, the events of tho
week in an I about St. Louis are somewhat
monotonous in their repetition of sickening
details. First Mrs Simon Binenstock was
instantly killed on the corner of Jefferson
avenue and Olive street hwt Tuesday, by ber
iug thrown from her carriage. This lady
was CI years old and tha wife of an o'd aud
leading merchant of the city. Oa Tueslay
Mr. Tatrick Murphy was crushed to death
by the wheels of bis wagou at tho career of
Easton avenue and Webster 6treet. Addi
son Case deliberately shot hiunclf last night
in Capt Tyler's thooting ga'dery. Young
Case died this morning. He Lad been late
ly discharged from the Wabah roa L Mr.
Hear don, driver of a patrol wagon, is dying
from injuries sustained Ly the upsetting of
thi vehicle Monday evening. Hut a truly
sad case is the death of Eugene Oorman,
pipeman in the 13s cf our fire department,
iu Lis wild dash to a fire, the engine plunged
into a rut of cur miserable ttrtU and threw
Lira and Mr. West, the driver, from their
eats, in a second the ponderous engine wis
