(Centiauad frcm last week.) From '-ThousaBd aero lake" ' we ecentlkl the leng hill ts tke Mathew rivsr. We found a rushing, roaring itreatn, from forty te aixky yards wide, a narrow valley eovtred by a 8len d id growth ef balm, alder, and birch timber and hemmed ia on each side by Ufty, rujfged mountains. Whe rever the rivar bottom ig not brush-grown, I the grass reached almost over the backs of eur )iUl burros. This grass is of the finest quality, resembling in ap pearance, Kentucky blue-grass, and weuld yield hay in abundance if mjwn fr that purpese. It el 833 net require ths experience of a residence in that locality however, te assure ene that the winters are long, aad that the snow falls to a great depth, as evidence ef this fact is apparent all areutid us; but for summer rauge, these Methew moun tains caanet he surpassed by any re gicn in the world. We begin to experisnee that fever f expectancy that comas over the prospec tor when he finds himself in a locality containing evidences ef the existence of preeieas tuaUls. Our practiced eyes had already begun t observe these in dications in the formation ef the eoun try -in which we had arrived, and in the flout (jaartz that formed a peition of the Methow's pebbly bettem. These pai tides af the broken ledges had e ceurse bean tried by the ferce of the mountain torrents from miles and miles up lis river, and perhaps were not gekt bearing, ceuld we trace them to their tartin-p1.i3o,-bat- we'Tsnew tkit although all quartz does net bear geld, all gf.ld was fou.i A in quartz, and hailed its pi'a-sense, the.ugh barren, as aa indi cation that we were in a gald country. lij excellent partner although i first rate hunter, cared but little ' fer that cla;s ef spert except as a means t supply eur larder, but he was passions ately foal of fishing, and during eur lsng jeurasy through this angler's, as well as hunter's paradise, never missed an opportunity te cata line in the brooks and rivers that we passed As soon as we had arranged our camj for tbs day, and having several hears at his disposal, he prepared his rod and ! line, and was scon fishing in the rear j ing Methew. After finishing my after ' dinner sraske, I strolled dawn the river in the opposite direction te the one ha j had taken.

JCE COLD DEERal wapson draught ! ; S;i!!ice it tt Bay that when I returned to camp in the evening, I had fish and Bill had none; and I presume that wash never knew f bis less. 4 The following morning we proceeded np the river a few nilss, and the trail limbing the side of the mountain, we follewed it until we arrived at a curi ously formed little vnlley, out ef which poured a bsaatifsl cascade dewn the steep mountain sida. The spot where we camped fer the night ceaid hardly fee cal'.sd a valley. It looked for all the world like a gigantic pet, the place where we had e itared it, appearing as a great fraeture ia its side. We named it, at Hill's snggostien, "Tke Devil's stew pot." The bottom ard surround ing sides were devoid et timber, and the red'top grass waved like a splendid meadow around ns. Descending a leng hill, we ence mere traverse the valley of the Methew. We have not yet arrived at the set tied portion of this vailey, and although r.c have been assured tht we are te pass through such a locality, we wan der that it is possible. : Hew any sane, reasonable person can thus isolate kin self front the rest of huosanity, and lire eententadiy so, is strange indeed te ns. And yet there are more than a , hun dred excellent people, beta sana and reasonable, who inhabit this beautiful valley, many of them consisting ef women and children, whe have ne in gress or egress frem its mountain-looked recesses, exeept by the narrow and' difficult trail ever which we had just passed. . I will net seen ferret one of the Methew homes we passed seme week subsequent te the time e which I an ' new writiag. We had been en t - if our mountain jaunts, and deoending m to the valley ef the Methow at a point farup the stream, we came to a settler' cabin that stoed near . the trail. ,. A. small "truck patch," er garden, lay back of the rudely constructed leg house and although the first ef July, the growth ef the vegetables was net far ther advanced than in April in the Umatilla country. His snail field ef wheat and joats, were just peeping out f the ground, but both the crop ef grain and vegetables loeked rank aad thrifty, and the proprietor informed us that he was certain te harvest anabun- ut crep. He told us surprising stories regarding the extreme fertility f the soil ef the valley, but deprecated the leng and dreary winters that they were obliged te endure. As soon as we drove np to the house a young and pretty weman, with twe small children hanging te her skirts, tame to the doer, and steed listetiing with long peat-up feminine curiosity, to the cenversatien between her husband and ourselves. The little ones peeped f rem behind her like scared rabbits, and in my heart I pitied them and their pear, cast away msther. I thought of the longings that must fill her heart, for the sight ef friends, the church go ings, sabbath schools, and ether con comitants ef civilization that make life endurable, and then and there, re solved t warn my unmarried lady friends of the danger that lies in mar rying a man with a "going west" dis- pesitien. Such adviee may injure my chancea among the dear girls, but the the possibility that some peer female friend may,, through lack f . wiu-i.g adviee, be inveigled inte seme such prison as the Methew ' valley, nerves me to do my duty. But such isolation has its advan tages as well as deprivatiens. This locality at least, is healthy and the soil is fertile. Gams is abundant, the pretty stream that meanders through it, abounds with fish, aad the scenery upea all sides is the grandest f Gad's great handiwork. Here a man may live a life of purity, unlempted by the vices that surround him in the crowded communities ef the world. There is bat tma narrow passage where by the serpent that is poisoning innum erable millions, ean enter this sylvan abode, and with due precautien, the denizens ef this beautiful retreat may prevent his adrefit ia their Garden of Eden. I am somewhat imbued with social istic ideas, and frequently found my self contemplating this as a most fa vored spot for the establishment f a community upon seme ideal plan, that weuld demonstrate the possibility ef humanity existing without murder, rapine, and a million ether 'forms of cruelty being considered necessary and unavoidable concomitants of civili zation. Here, with the barrier that nature has thrown areand this valley, the ifi&fkard might find safety frem the cruel fiend that spreads innumerable snares fer his weak soul, wherever else he might stray. Here he whs had found himself incapable ef battling with the greedy millions for a subsists nee, might find a haven, wberw he has only the forces of benirictnt na ture to contend with. .There are thousands sueh among the striving mass of humanity. Men who are all their lifetime subjeet te the thralling bondage f poverty, through weaknesses superinduced by the ne blest traits f character incidect'to hu man nature. Hew eftea do we 'give utterance d this thought when we rem.irk ef oar frisnds that "he is too generous fer his own good. He has not !.- ...U t i - , . ii.
