In the course of time in wandering over the island they saw a most beautiful land connected with theirs by lofty peaks and ragged rocks. The land beyond was most beauteous to behold, being covered with stately trees whose branches hung with fruits of every variety. Many colored birds flit ted from bough to bough and made n perfect din of ever changing music.

You all know of the Natural bridge in Virginia, and perhaps have heard how the first president of the United States, in the athletic vigor of his youth, climbed up and carved his name high on its cliff. A very beautiful and pic turesque spot it is, too: bnt many of them would not begin to make one of the Natural bridge in the western edge of the Tonton basin, Arizona, in the same general region as Montezuma’s well and castle, but it is even less known. The Natural bridge of Pine creek, Ari zona, is to the world's natural bridges what the Grand canyon of the Colorado is to the world’s chasms—the greatest, the grandest, the most bewildering. It is truly entitled to rank with the great natural wonders of the earth—as the Natural bridge in Virginia is not.

Mathews cried out, “What do you know about Lafont?” “I’ve seen him act,” 1 replied.

It is just as necessary to follow the fashion in furniture as in dress, and we all know what a sight a man is with a plug hat of the vintage of 1870. You don’t want the baud running after you playing "where did you get that hat ?” nor for that matter playing: "Where did you get that chair?” We are now showing a superb stock of furniture, in all the latest styles and patterns, and can fit you up every room in your house to suit your taste, whether it be of antique or modern cast.
