Moro, the good house-dog, stood by our chairs or caressed the hand of his favorite, E . We felt that we had come home to our home in the Tyrol. On the 15th of August, 1871, two brothers and a sister Sepia, an artist, Levell, an engineer, and Scribe, who is the narrator left Chicago by the North-western Railroad, bound for Denver in Colorado, about eleven hundred miles west.
The device was a lowe kinde of carre with a couple of wheeles, and the frunt armed with sharpe syckles, whiche, forced by the beaste through the corne, did cut down al before it.

Be not so bitter. Bar. We mix with quiet speritts, staid and temperate, And those that levell at not great but good ends Dare hold us their Companions, not their Servants, And in that ranck be ready to supply us. Your Grace is growne too haughtie. Leid. Pardon, great Sir, If those complaine who feele the waight of envy, If such poore trod on wormes make show to turne againe.

If what thou seest or heard'st be ever muttered by thee Though in thy sleep, villaine, Ile pistol thee. Buz. Hum, it will not be safe to dreame of a knave shortly. Are you so good at a gun? if you use this too often your birding piece will scarce carry a yard levell. Hen. Come, dresse your hayre up & be wise at last: No more, I have done. Buz. So I thinke in my conscience, he hath done with her.
