We were not man- we who stood

Yet many ja gallant spirit would ;
Give half his years if he but could
Have been with us at Monterey. :
Now liere, now there the shot is hailed
In deadly drifts of fiery spray, .
Yet not a single soldier quailed
When wounded comradei ronnd hlin wailed
Their dying shouts at Monterey. . i i
And on, still on, our column kepr,
Through wall? of llame its Withering way;
Where fell the dead, the living sl ept,
Still charging on the guns that swept !
The slippery streets cf Monterey.
The foe himself recoiled aghast,
When, striking where be strongest Jay,
We swooped his flanking' batteries p9t,
And hravhi"; full their murderous bla-t, !
Siormed home the towers of Monterey,
0"r banners oti the turrents wave, ..I
And tliere tho evening bugles play,
Where orange bough? above their grave : .
Keep green the memory of the brave
Who fought aDd fell at Mo.j'tercyV ;
We are not many wc who pressed .
Beside the brave Who fell that day;
But who of us has not confessed
lle'd rather share their wrrior rest
Than not have been at Monterey?

Tbe Coldest Town In the World.
Here it may relieve us when thft
nierciry lias crept into the nineties, to
think of a town which Humboldt and
other travelers have pronounced the'
coltist on tiic globe. 11ns is Jakus'.k
(or jYakcotsk.) chief town of the 'pro
vince of that name in Eastern Siberia,
on theieft bank- of t!ie River Lena,
C2 deg. 1 minute north, longitude ll'J
deir. 44 minute$ east, and distant from
Sr. Petersburg 5 951 miles. The ground
remains continually frozen' to the depth
of 300 feet, -.except in midsummer,
when it thaws three feet at the surface.
During iert days in Augtrst the -thermometer
marks 80 degrees, but from
November to February it ranges from
42 to G8 deg. below zero, and the river
is solid ice for nine month? out of the
twelve. The entire- industry of the
place population 5,300 -is comprised
in candle Svbrks, and yet it is the prin
cipal market of Eastern Siberia for
traffic with the hunting tribes of the
Burials. The former, mostPy nomadic,
having large herds of horses and cattle
bring to market butter, which is sent
on horseback to t!;e port of Okhotsk.
The Brttiats, also nomadic, bring quan
tities of skins of sables, foxes, mar
tens, hares, squirrels, aud the like
and many of them are sold at the
great fair in June, which, with May,
is the active period of the year. In
May the collected goods arc conveyed
to the seaports, whence they are sent
in every direction. The merchandise,
chiefly furs and mammoth tusks, so'd
at fair?, amount in Value to 400,000
rabies ($300,000.) '
Cheerful Women.
In marrying.HBen should seek hap
py women. They thake a terrible mis
take whetl they marry for beauty, or
for talent, or for style the sweete3t
... -
wives are those who posses the rriagie
secret of being happv under any and
every circumstcnce. Rich or poor,
high or !ow, it makes ao difference,
the bright, little fountalu of Joy hub
bles up jut as -musically in theif
heartSi Nothing ever gos 'wrong
with them no trouble is too serious
for them to make the best of it.'. Was
ever the stieam of calamity so dark and
deep that the sunlight; of a happy face
falling across its turbid tide would not
aw.ake. an answering gleam? Why,
then, joyous-tempered people don't
ki.ow half, the good they do. No mat
ter how cross and crabbed yon feel,
no matter if your brain is' full of me di
tation on afflicting dispeusat'nm, and
your stomadh with medicines, piils and
Homes ; just set one of Ihoee cheery
little women talking to you and we
are not aft aid to wager anything she
can cure you. The long-drawni line
about the mouth will relax the cloud
of settled gloom will vanish;, nobody
knows where, and the first thing you
know you will be laughing! Ah, what
blessings are these happy women 1
How often their little hands guide the
ponderous machinery of life, with al
most an invisible touch!' How we
look forward tlirotlgh the weary day
lo the fireside smiles! Ha one knows
no one ever will know, until the day of
judgment reveals, how much we owe to
r these helpful, hopeful, uncomplaining
happy women
