She asked herself if a few practical hints would not serve a good purpose in reminding him that praotioe was better than preaching, and example went iatlher with most people than atfvice.

It is the intention of thoee in charge of them to start upon their journey across the plains this week ; they arc to move in banes, so that they will not Impede the progress of each other. They go a new route une which is nearer, and better than any other before tried, by at least one hundred anil fifty or two hundred miles—they leave this country and keep the Santa Fe road until they come to the one hundred and ten, or Council Grove creek, and then strike immediately across to Fort Riley, and thence in a straight direction to Fort Laramie. Gutfes will accompany them to show them the route. When opened out in this manner, this will be the most popular and only rou e travelled to Ore. gon, California or Salt Lake, and insure all the emigration hereafter to depart from this country.

Mrs. Browne looked at the baby sitting on the floor, and then at the deep work basket piled up high with the family sewing, (which Mr. Browne had decided he could not afford to have done out,) and thought her 'naps' would necessarily have to be short and a great ways apart. She had a shrewd suspioion, too, that he had consulted his own feelings more than her own comfort ; but having a liule scheme iu contemplation, prudently forbode to say so, listening without offering much comment to eulogistic remarks concerning the sofa.
