Mr. Willis, writing to the Home Journal last week, has the following pretty thought: Yet—(pardon me, Spirit of the rairie!)— what man is there. with liberality of choice, who would be content to live where there are no mountains! Who would take asa gift the famous ‘hundred mile prairie” of Ihlinois—(a farm of the extentof fertile flatness, without a fence!)—on condition of there taking up his abode. I had never realized before what a cathedral influence there is in the mountains we dwell near—how the sunsets and sunrises are made reverently subline by them—how the storms perform glorious anthems with the hill echoes—how the eye. which is lifted from the valley to the tall peak whereon rests the thunder cloud, carries the heart with it, in an instinct of involuntry awe! The mere prairie floor seems to me a wilderness without an alter —Nature with: st gellery or dome—earth with- out proper cathedral wherein the elements shall unbidden worship God. And the following lively description : _, To overtake a thunder shower, whirl through it, and outrun it, was the first of the day’s ex- citing novelties. We'saw it ahead of us, on the Prairie, a8 you seo a simple black cloud in the sky, with sunshine all around it. It was mov- ing in the same direction as ourselves, probably at about twenty miles an hour; and we soon began to overtake it with our better harnessed thunder and lightning. The conductor pointed the dark mass out to ume some ten or fifteen minutes before we entered the outer skirt of the shower; and we were in a pelting rain, with lightsiog and peals of thunder, for perhaps ten minutes—emerging in fair weather on the other side, and leaving the storm to | the “slow coach” that it was!

When we go telegraphing about at the begin- ning of our spirit travels in the next life, I am sure I shall have a vague impression of having done something of that sort before—this expe- rience of distancing a well trained thunder cloud being laid away in my memory.

It is a daily experience on the trains on this railroad across Illinois, to overtake some one or more of them; and it is curious (so the different conductors and brake- men all told me) how none of them seem to have the sagacity to escape by running off at angles! Almost n s-iably they flee before the pursuer and run down, at last, to fall fainting with terror and exhaustion in the neighbor- hood of the track. INTERESTING FROM Cuina—Progress of the War and the Rebellion.—A letter in the Brit- ish Journal, dated Shanghae, May 30, gives an account of the progess of the rebellion in China and of the preparations making by the Allies to carry on the war: News was received on the 24th instant, from the ci y of Soochow, that the rebels wore again preparing for an attack on the city, which Proved device for heating rooms. caused great terror and alarm among the native wan vag janati, O.—For improved trading people who gathered their Property to- H.

Conflicting reports are arriving from Soochow daily, and and we trust matters are notin such adeplorable state asthe Chinese make them out. One report says that 800,000 rebels had marched into Soochow, setting fire to the city in every direction, and committing robberies and murder with perfect impunity. Thousands of Chinese merchants, who had bought quantities of in Shanghae, found such a state of things on arriving near Soochow, that they turned back, and are now availing themselves of the hospitalities of for- eigners—paying for the same, of course—to store their is for safe keeping in our go- downs. These bands of rebel miscreants seem to have no object in view but to plunder; in fact, they are composed of the low uneducated rabble, who can be led about by one or two of their chiefs, just as they see fit. Our river is now alive with small craft, which have come down the Soochow Creeks and made a rendes- vous of the foreign settlement until the excite- ment is over.
