THE LIVIXC BARRIER. It \vj;s :i pretty sight to s ? old X ncle Jim, as li?* \v:is called by every uue vviio i uvi'ieu uie iiorinerri iran, fitting in front of his house in the afternoon in his great cane-bottome I c; air, with Aunt Pol y alongideof him in hers, the two holding each oth r's hand in t!.e mist unaffected and simple way. Uncle .Jim ke, t- the station at Indian Well, and his ho ;.- ?as the rail was a great thoroughfare?was generally full in the evenings with freighters, paekers, "buli punchers," and tins*; tiaveling for business or pleasure. Outbid the house his dominion was complete, but inside Aunt Polly wa> absolute, for ;:s he said; " Polly 'n n o 'greed to split rp 'h' bos-in', an' 1 never interferes; neither does she. It conduces to peace, don't it, olc wmniin It nee-led but a glance to see t! at B ^ nothing of this kind was necessary t? Hp keep peace 1 etwe en these two, for if W ever there was a couple who lived for W each other it was that one. Every afternoon Uncle Jim would take his seat outside and light. 1iis | pil e, soon to he join d bv Aunt Polly, and there the two woulI sit, hand i.i ' hand, iookin,' out- at tiie leuutil'ul | sc neryof Jiald Peak canon. If any I cne va< there Uncle Jim would tell 5 stories, while Aunt Polly listened, * lighting a mat' h for h m if his pipe 1 went out, and when called upon giving \ her testimony to his statements in l.er \ soft voice and gentle way. 1 u>e l to { think the sight a beautiful one, and 11 was never t r> d of wa'clung them. } A story which Uncle Jim was never tired of tolling was that of his court- j ship. When he was young lie had j lived on the border, and had there wooed ana won lus pretty t riue, ior Aunt Polly must have been very beautiful when she was young, judging! from lier face when I saw her. Often as he to d it, Aunt Polly never l'ai'e.l to s ightly blush and remonstrate at one point, and as invariably Uncle .Jim would chuckle and then gravely ask her pardon. But the story itself w.Jl be more interesting than my talking about how it was told. "Long back in th' forties I wtre ex. strapping a vcung fe'ler e/. you c'uld lind on th' border, tho* I do say it my-1 self, ez ort r wait fur others" to say sich a thing. In them days tho border ^ line were th'western edge of loway,; an' my ol' father. Elder Richard John HP son, bad moved out a little 1 eyond th' IJr most of the settlers. In fac' ther' wer* [ on'y one fam'ly further tl.an ourn, and i that were the Beekrnans. My I'dlv's father wer' a curious kinder el.a,', an' j he L'Jievtd ef lie wer' nearer th-n thirty mile to any one he wer' beiu' desperit crowded. 'X them days 1 used t' farm a leetle an' hunt c<?nsid- j ej'ble, fur th' hull country wer' full <>' game. "We didn't make ro 'count at all of wild turkey nor prairie chicks, an' deer wer' the smallest things \vc thought wutli givin' any one. the course o' my hunts I came 'cross tinBCFkman's cabin, an'ha I a talk with ~ ^ ' th'ol'man. "'X course lie 'vitcd me in, an' thar 1 met my Pi llv furth' lust time, file's kinder old, 1 ovs, now, but you orter ha' seen her then. She wer' th' pret? tirst g;il 'n that ar' section of country, an't' my eyes th' pretlie~=t I ever see. j T' me sheez pretty ox ever, ain't you, I ol' woman':" And I'nc'.e .lim gave Aunt Polly's hand a most prr-eptibhi squeeze. " Arter that ar' lu. t visit 1 used to ? ai - II ... r ..n? ? 1 iliar |:uuv rug iv.*r, 1 anus luwt'U j fur to take some ga:r.e with me ez a present t' Polly's im ther, an' t' kinder keep tii' ul' man qui t, fur lie was monslvi us fo: d of talkin' 'bout th' | degeneracy of th' beys; an' 1 used t' think if i c 1<> ke l down on us that av* way he'ii kinder think I weren't tit t' hev Tolly ; a:;' fa:- a fac' I weren't, nor no othtr in.jn <-ver we:-'." " Now, Jim,'' ai I Aunt Polly, warnfc ingly. m "All right, my de:tr! Th' fac'air, B b ys, l'olly never w'u'd 'gree t' that statement. I've alius tho.ight she ft kinder hankered arter Pete J5arton.->' the sto'keeper, and sorter 'gretted she didn't take him." And Uncle Jim laughed until we all laughed, out of pare sympathy, Ai:nt i'o!ly as loudly as any one. " Wa'al," said the old man, wiping his <yes, "I used to go t' th' I.eek-: mans ez much ez I c'u'd ; an' I cot- J toned up t' 1'olly monstrous strong, but somehow I never c'u'd tell lx-r, how I ktered fur her. I wer'kinder scared-like, an' I used to lioj;e ez she'd ' sorter make the fust move. Mind you, I J Oiiy wer lovin me ui mm unit-, ijul she never 1 t on, an' I hadn't the' fjivoz of a mewl inth' matter. I used t' sit thar an' talk 'bout th' weather,j an' th' crops, an' shootin', an' then go outside an' blame myself fur a fool,! cause I hadn't said nothin' special t' i h-.;r. I used t' make up talks fur t' say; j 1 ut bless ye, when I got 'long of Polly ! I disreinembered 'em totally. " One day I wer' 'n the wood, 'long with father, an'th' two of us wer', ruttin' trees. Fell'm' a small saplin', it broke sudden, an' fallin' hit me on i the shoulder. I wer' consider'bly; bi uisei-like, ez you may think, an' I went to bed when I got home, an' ( tared thar. It wer' my left shoulder ( /. wer' hurt, an' it swelled up mons!rous. , "The second day?I'll never forgit that time as long ez I live?a man came inter our house on his way t' th' fort?ol' Fort Benton. He told, arter supper, 'bout rumors ez th' Blackfeet iver' on th' war-path, an' said he \ wer* goin' to warn th' people. ' "Arter they all went to sleep I lay ihar, an' I c'u'd'nt get th' story outer my head. I s'pose it wer' th' pain of my shoulder ez much ez anythin', but \ I didn't seem to sleep. Finally I j dropped off, an' I dreamed ez how th' redskins wer' takin' Polly's cabin. I woke up all of a start, an' in a cold sweat. That dream fixed me. " I got up an' stole out quiet, not v wukia' any one, to th' stable. Thar I saddled my critter, aV rode out. into 1 ill'm ordiirlit. Kz you may think, 1 < lie idc.l .-tra:ght fur old Ueekman's i fla -e, an' ez my lioss wer' a good < ne, , ] i did't spare spur r.din". Now you ] It'iieve ar' ride hurt my aria. ; Why. hoys. 1 deelar I thought I'd mint ; afore I got thar." And I'nele.Jim tnhhrd his shoulder. , I | Winn In- put his hand down Aunt j Tolly i i-nt and kissed il. : |. When I reached th' house it wer' i |' I tout '? o'clock 'n th' morning, an' . I thar 'n th' front yard 1 seen Polly I l'eedin' chhkcns. Ml' you'll l/Jieve me, j ; when I got thar 1 got kinder 'shamed, I i an' ef I r'u'd have gone hark 1 w'u'd. . ' It seemed sort r foolish fur t' come ] that way. an' with a story that didn't i really 'mount to much ez it stood. | ' S'pose titer* wer< n't no raid, what i w'u'd 1 have said. frightenin* tie in i i 1 p-.'op'e into lits?

Th' next thing n wer'allight of arrcrs agin' th' logs, but, r bless ye, we didn t care for them, t Then tlier' wer' a lull kinder for a , time, an' at last I seen some fire ai r rs I <1 * -1 ..! . .

Hut art ? r ;i while they moseyed 'round th' clearin' to tii' side nearest th' house, an' here they'd lire them arrers from behind trees, so I didn't see em. "lJimehyeone of'em lit. an' f'u>t thing I knowed, th' roof were on lire. X (>w, 1 Aver ft consider We bothered * 'bout this, fur I had no water to put th' fire out. au' ef I had, I c'u'dn't work much with one arm. J were i studyiu' on it, ;m' tlu*m ruls were j yellin' outside, when all of u sudden i my eye fell on a long pole in one * corner. "That 'ar roof were made of shake-i ?slabbed-*mt boards, you know?an' . they was pinned to th' beams. I picks i up th' pole, an' put tin' it agin th' ' burnin shake, th' hull lot of us Ik aved. Bimebye th' shake give an' slid off. " Wall, I were delighted ! I kissel ; Polly an' th' two gals, an'shook hands . with Tom. I cakilated that we'd 1 shove off a shake soon ez it got on lire, an' I knowe.T th' logs w'u'dn't burn. 1 told Polly to get a mattrass, an' g t under it, so ez to be safe ef any arrers 1 fell through th' hoi", but she ]>ut th' 1 young uns thar, an' stayed out herself. Said she wer'en't goin' to let me lie in ' danger, a'she outer it. 'J'ears t<? me now ez this were kinder foolish, but then I thought it wer?* just like Polly, , an' in course what I'olly did were right." " I'd do the same now, .Tim," said the old lady. "I b'lieve you w'uM. I b'lieve you w'u'd ! Waal, hoys, time slipped ou, an' every chance Tom or I got we'd lire, an' somebody'd get hurt. 1 told Tom an' Polly an' the gals to keep a sharp lookout, fur 1 were feared of a run-in by th* reds. Sure enuff. 'bout 10 o'clock they come. Fust thing I knowed they were batterin' away at th' door, an' they got it down. "Wall, it 'peared t' me ez tho' I.' went crazy just then. I ketched hold of an ax standin' thar an' I set myself \ in that doorway an' ef you'll b'lieve me, ther wern't no Injun ez come in. j My arm ! I never thought 'bout my arm at all till it wer' all over." * j " Jim stood up ther' in frunt of us,' < uroke in Aunt Polly, with kindling ?yes, ,4an' it seemed to me ez if lie got igger. He swung that ax romul his fiead ex. if it. wer' a reed, .lust beyond liim wer' the howling crowd of saviges, leapin' at him like wolves, and yelling ez only Injuns can yell. 1 could %ce them by the tirelight. lSetwocij [hem and us stool .lim, an' they never jot pu>t him. 1 tell y,m it wer' a grand dght! It seemed to me ez tho' I was L'/. safe ez ever I was, an' I felt sure Jiqi w'u'dn't get hurt. I knowed he vv'u'dn t " Th' old lady alius gets a leetle oil lier head 'bout that light," said 1'nchi I im, with a glance mil i r anecuoii ?u his wife: "but it wer' a grand one that's a fao'. I dtinno how long it lasted: it liioiit have bin a minute an1 it intuit have bin an hour fur all Ic'uM lell. At last the reds broke an" run, bavin' a pile of'in lvin* at that doorstep. We {jot up th' dour agin, an' arter that they let us alone fur tin night. Next morn ng. 'bout seven, a lot of men c une an'the Injuns gut i.lit.

Alfred Bal' h. Iinpalin?. science ot nnjinse have brought rli< point than might be i1itCtV-.niuch linei process heretofore described. A 1-TtAh' nliieer, wiio witnessed an execution ir Tomjuin, before the recent troubles give- a very curious account of tin apparatus of impalement. A lo!t\ stake with sharp point is lived int>th< ground us firmly as a teh graph pole and with the upper part a chair ol ir??n, having an oriliec in the center ol the seat, is connected. The lioint ol the stake lits the orifice in. the chair mid the latter is lowered or raised I3 machinery set in motion by a crankso that several i'eet of the pole can br forced through the body of any one seated in the chair. There is a loft J platform, rising to the same height as th" ]> le, and reached by a ladder. The executioner compels his victim t< mount and take his se tt in the chair, ivhcreon he is immovably chained. 1'hen the crank is turned forty or fifty :imes?the stake being buried further iiid fmtlicr in th-- criminal's 1 ody at :ach turn. All this appears unutt' r.iblv horrijle to Europeans; but th_> Orientals ire not constituted as we are. They ear ordinary forms of death very litile ; and decapitation or hanging has as ittle terrors for them as the w? rkhousti 'or the common Anglo-Saxon criminal. Moreover, their nervous system?esucially that of the ( 'him se and kinIred races is not altogether similar to he m rvous system of Aryan races, fh French ollicer wlm witnessed the nethod of execution above described, ivers that the criminal continue 1 to at a 1 a tana, until the. operation was lalf completed; and many travelers on-ur in bearing evidence that the 'hinesc exhibit under torture a degree if fortitude c<|ual. i' not sn; erior, to lie well-known stoicism of the Amerian Indian. Hut it is rather strange 0 learn that part of the iron mahinery use 1 in the impaling process eferred to, boars the trademark of a *n nch ironmaster! Poison in Flour.

A city ordinance makes it a 1 punishable ofTense to throw anything, ' even a piece of pap r, into these streams. It' the city is not specially beautiful in itself, its estaMbhment and growth iu a little more than thirty y<ars are really marvelous. 1'robaUy no more unpr noising site was ever selected, and the choice was made with the helief that no one would dispute the pos.-es>i >n of such worthless land. It would apparently grow nothing but the everlasting s:ige brush, which so wearies the eyes of the travelers of the great American desert, and which even a jackass will refuse to eat. There was no river, and tlie distant lake afforded no outlet for their productions. Yet to-day the country for thirty miles southwest of the city presents a miccessicn of splendidly-worked farms, and the fruits, especially app'es and plums, grown there have become famous. The lirst st.-p w<is, of course, H'" i4tvir.il I'irwr .if w-i+nr mid \\ !l?j brought from C.ty canon, a distance of between four and five miles from the r ite of I he town. The melting snows and natural springs in this and other ca:mns still constitute the cit/s source of supply. Tin* lirst settlers, on their long pilgrimage a< ross the plains, after hav ng been dm ea from Illinois, debouched upon the ground where the city now stands, through what is ea'led Immigrant canon. This alTordssome of the most, beautiful scenery in the Territory: for while the rocky passes have not the majestic height of the Kch i and Weber canons of the Koekies.they have the charm of wooded vtrdure, and in the narrow valley, sometimes level with the road and at others more than 10U feet below it, nestle snug little farms and pretty cottages. In the latter, however, the trained eye of the observer of Mormon customs can see the curse of t!:e system?pleurality of wives. The style of the cottage, with its various doors of entrance, will tell how manv \\ ives the owner rejoices in. The wealthy Mormon provides a.separate house for each wife; the less prosperous divides his house into different portions, each distinct, and having its own door of entrance. Only the very poorest export the wives to live together, and this is 1 an ly done when there ar more than two or three The Tabernacle and the Temple havo before been brirlly alluded to as the most important buildings in the city. The former was c^nstructul irom the designs < f t':e late Hrigham Voting.

It is construct*.d of girder ir. ns, and is eight feet thick. The total seating capacity of the building is l"i,0U0, two thirds of whom are accninmnda'cd on the irroun 1 lloor, on plain vooden benches. There is no decoration whatever to the building, except some festoons of evergreens which have be n up for nearly ten years, and owing to the purity and dryness of the atmosphere re.i ain perfectly fnsli. Nearly all the side walls are a series < f doors, and the building can if necessary be emptied of its worshipers in an incredib'y short spac* of time.
