I waa so glad It waa not covered all over with the hard names of states, countlea. iHK rivers. cltlea, towns, product. uMUiufncture. mineral rtKurcea, populations, ami numbers of legal voters, and such things, for old Tom YVUUama to wal lop me for not rememtierlng, when lash Kane bad stich a auierb horse fkldle to let me play on. and Will rear! ami I had such a splendid set f nmrblea botweeo us, aud Tilda Menifee and 'Lisa Jane Irving were such Jolly girls to go hu-kUtorr)iug with among the Charlotte bills. Yet. la the year ISM. while tlie American army wna amusing Hself west of she lUo Grande, settling with Mexico tbe southern limit of this white spot on the map of North Aiuer lea. and Janiea Bucbannn aud Kir Richard Pakrohani were uVteroiluiiig, in Washington City, at what precise ary of It should be fixed., myself an my immediate friend were cnisitiug thla Identical soUtmle, from Mlnuri to Oregon, with ox tennis. On tbe 9th day of May, and about the time we passed tbe western frontier of clviilmtton, I balled my 13th birthday. We bad started on our perilous Journey in April; and. after suffering Incredible tolls, dangers, and hard alibis, eoterwl at tbe lnwd of the Wll iamette valley kite In November, and reached Skluners Butte, near tin1 umo of which Eugene Oily and tlie state university are now located, about the 10th of December. It bad been raining on us for two mouth, ana now began to threaten snow; our teams were so pot and worn out tint we had not been able to travel more than from three to six rall day during that time; our provisions were so far exhausted, that our main reliance was up in our rifies, and hail been for more than a month; and we were yet about seventy mlhw, by the trail, from tlie nearest settlement where we could hope to find anything to relieve our pressing necessities. We caaiped below Skinner'J Htilte, In the edge of tlie forest which limits the prairie Utwcon the liUU wett of Coyote creek and f e Willamette river, whore we met Wm. StllwfJI, of North Yamhill, and another gi-cllemnn wlio informed us that the Itottom lands of the Long Tom river were so nooued that they thought It lmpiHMl ble for us to reach the settlements with our wagons before the next summer; and that It was absolute madness to think of doing It during the winter, in the condition we wore In. I saw my father's Hp quiver, on receiving this Intelligence. I knew lilm to be a man of unfaltering cour age, and that no ordinary circum stances could cause bis cheek to wile. I already knew our situation to be difficult and dangerous; but now, I realized that rt was becoming desper atela foot, almost hopeless. There was father and mother ar.,5 seven oblldren of us. My sister Ellz.i ibeth was about 15 years old; I was next, 13; brother Frank 12; slHtv Hilar. 10; brother Doughis alout 8, and little brother Ueorge-alas! the dear little fellow was not there. A heavy wagon lmd run ovot him, and crushed 'him to dab, on Bear river, awaiy out in the Rocky mountains. Then (here was brother Will, alxiut 4 and llttl Lavld, the baby, 18 months old. I have faced death, and encountered danger in a thousand forms, yet, still l shudder wlwn I think of the crush lag weight that must then have pressed upon my father's heart. Late In the evening, while we were at a loss to know wliat course to pur sue, an old French trader, who bad been out with a lul of flour to meet tbe starving immigrants who were further back and in worse condition than ourselves, and was now return tag to the settlement with a dozen ponies bearing empty! packsaddles, came and camped close by us. On learning our situation, this kind old mountaineer consented to help us out of our troubles, so far as be could, for a few dollars and a plug or two of tobacco. We resolved tliat (tlie Frenchman should take the most of. our camp equipage, beds, and the clothing of the family on ihls pack-horses, and mother and all the family, except father and myself, should set out on horseback for the settlements, where tbey might secure more comfortable winter quarters, before the cold weather Mioulu set mi. Father and i were to remain aud take care of the property. Joseph Turnedge had employed ome packers to convey himself and family to the aottlemcnts on horses; and they set out In company with mother and the children, leaving his younger brother with us, to take fJiarge of bte property. Harrison Turnedge waa a good hunter, and we were ghid toiiave him with us; so, we all three moved Into a partly finished cabin that Eugene jgkluner bad built during tbe summer m at the fcfis i a ttt hleh lrs liN m vtk jr' jmHnd to spend the fi(iiiiiudT vf t'.K inter, ftjr lhi dtptture of the fa.uUUs, a tMiunger who cidhl ttim self Kiumel Kuth, anld he waa a ua tlva of Baltimore, bad sput wveral )wu at m, and bad bsea stock drivaf for aoens of the Immlgraw behind ua, cnt to the cabin.

Ws gav him souietulug to eat. but tokl him h must aiova on towards th settle tueuta as wa wera almost tmUrely witlnmt provisions, aist could uot ktep him. The poor f4kw represent ed to us his Inability to proceed, ami begged, with brimming eyes, that we WMuld. at least, xnnW Jiltn to stay ami starve under the sheltering roof of the calilu. This was nxire lliait I could stoml. 1 ltttensMMd lu his be half, aud wrtreatcd earnestly tlsit he might bo alluwed to stay. I pUdgel myself to kill game eismgh to fetnl him. If he should he pMnultted to re itstln with us, I liecame ao de mlmd ami elxuent In my arguments, tltat father fimilly )ilelihil. iheu Mr. Tnntixlgi'. atd It was setihl. to my great rilef. and his evident Jiy, Umt he might stay a few kiys, until, hs slbly. wuue oHxwtunlty mlglit olfer Tor him to twit the settlements. With this Mpkaa cripple qnarlwd niMui us. we saw ttwtt our wmitty sup ply of Hour wvtuld smMt lie coumuuuhI, ami we miwt 1h mlmid to such gituie as we could kill. We held a ooumil nisi decided tlstt fittlier slsukl take our poiiy. pnsihhI to the aettleiuents, ami return with amte flour as swu as pswtlle. Wheu be left us on cttts mmshiu. a finiUlff of Utter deaolnUiai took WW- Ktdon wf me; ami I felt as If my heart would break as he dlsnprnvred nimmg tls hill pltH tm-s Ih-Ihw the cabin. But 1 Isid little time f.s- de-ssimleiM-y. W fliust have iiie4it; ami we must depend um our rtm-s. The next morulug after rattiir 4ert us Mr, Tunsnlge klUl a dr iu Uie long strip of itttrttui pine tret that put out fnsn tlie along h. far itito ttie pmlrte, estat-tly where Eugene Oily Is built. Tlutt deer fell alsut where the court house ikiw stands. In the aftenssai I took Mr. Turn- wlge's tmire and iweut to hHk ft msne rattle, acrtss the slough, on a large Island atuitlteaitt of this plus gtuve. 1 found a gtssl many cattle tlutt wre fmllng wu aume green jotitm or rushes, which grew there; and atmsig tlnni a little brown pony; I saw tliat tlie eat tie were doing well. and Ittft hem; but he pmy followtnl me tsw-k to the calrin. where Mr. Turnedge nHMgidxed 4dm as the prop erty of 'John B. Hounds, win had camped t the pine grove before we reached t. ami kmt this horse. We considered ."l"wny" a valuable api sltloo; lut he also proved a great an- noyance to us, for he would go tu to tbe Island when we turnetl him loose, ami the m ire followed htm. So, It was frequently no easy matter to get them when we wanttol them, wttlsmt blrlng an Indliui to bring thtmn ov-. In a llrile while our flour was all gone. Ami just nliout the time fiit.lier resniieil the soiftletmHU tltre cans' on a treuwiiiloUH snow-nrm, fultowid ty a fiww, sutlhient to nsuler It lnins ttlltle ftr him to return lefore the last of February. And so we acre com ix41d to emture the constantly In crt-ar-lug rliMrs of our situation kmger tlmn we lmd expected. While it was snowing we were re dmd to Uie extrtaulty of killing the fattest cow we cotiltl Hud. But slit' was so poor, tl-at h-r flesh sciih1 rather to weaken us tluin otherwise. However, we bad tlie gisid fortune to trade the hide ami part of the ssir ratvovts to some IihIIiiiis wlm were mmMd In the wood a little way hiwu the river, for some Isiketl cam tmis. But when this ltoor lKH-f and eammas were consumed, atsl we coukl get -no imire suiipllea from our Indlau neighbors, aud tha deer had become wane ami shy from being constant ly huuted by ourselves ami them, a greater calamity than had yet lie- fallen caiue npou us. Mr. xurtmigt1 fell sick. When I found tlwit this faithful frlt-nd cotiltl not go with me to the bunt, thai tls-re waa lr.it a single sod die of veolsoii in he ramp, !!. lnw-scs wore Away on the island, I In- snow was Ktlll nlxiut four bichtw deep, the I in limit lml frightened away tbe game lu our immediate vleJnlly. our wooliiile was Hourly cxlmiwtitl. ami there was ts '1hm of father's rnturn While the wtttUier retiiilllH-d as it liiltl lMen for a tisnith, I mttst acknowletige tliat it wis a little dilllcuit for me to keep my courage up at ell times. And after Mr. .Turnedge lmd been ill for several days, with no arent change for tlss lstiter, and I had returned night after nlglit, from tramping all day wltb any gun, to report failure to my anxious and doiiendeut coiiiikmi Ions, at last Ham, wlsi acted as cok, Informed me that the kettle contnlneti the kist iiMirscl we lmd lu tlie c-nhln. I tokl my comrades It was useless for me to hunt anywhere In the nelgb- Imrliootl of the Indian camp, and that I must tryl to find new hunting grotiniL Mr. 'lliraiHlge bad been to Speiwer's Butte, a blgh peak a few miles south of us. lie thought If 1 would take one of tlie horses ami go over to the foot of tlie butte early lu the morning, I coukl kill a deer. But it would probably take a whole day to get the horses over from the Island; beKidos, iH was quite dangerous for lis? to go over there alone, by the rude nutans we liatl of crossing, without a horse. Hit I finally resolved to set out on ftsit before daylight, and keeping the summit of the butte, as It stood tcllevotl agiiiust the sky, constantly Wore mi as a guide, endeavor to roach ls Istse while the wtv were feeding, nisi liefore they withdrew to the thicket. Sam selected tlu lawt piece of mils de bit could iiml in the kettle and laid It iawUle for me to take wltb me. We ate tihe renriijhider for our supiier, c-x eopt a small piece we saved out for the sick man to eat the next day, during my absent e, and thou we sitdlj reel ml to irest. iHtsntiClino before daylight . .Hani waked me up; and, armed with my trusly dlle n ml provided with the lit tki bit of bollivl venison which the (wimiderate Ham bad saved for mt, I sot out for the butite. Itetween Wpencer's butte and the cabin, yo1e creek wklened out Into a shallow lake, imn-e tlian half a tulle across; but It was frozen over, I tlioiialit, solid enough for me to croKH It. iOvm if I should break tlirough, I know it was pot over my bend, as Mr. Turnedge, who hud ridden across It, had told me so. I revolved to go the nearest way, and cross it on the Ice. Although the snow had gone off In large s(ots on the steep southern exposure', It sllll covered the whole valley; mu tbe frosty crust crunched and crackled undt my feet, as I went hoperuiiy on. When I came to the hike, I went cautiously tijion the ice, thinking that, If It were not strong enough to lar my weight, I would turn to the loft and go around It. Jt appeared to be solid enough, so I moved carefully on for something over two hundred yards, when suddenly (the Jce gave way ana lot me Into the water up to my armpits, I auecended In keeping my gun and ammunition from gcltlng wet; nnd for a moment I held them above my head aud looked around ma in dismay. It wn but a moment, and my resolution was takwi. J moved forward and tried to climb upon the ice again; but It broke; and this time I came near getting my gun wet. Again I paused a moment to consider; then I advanced, break ing the Ice before me with the breech of my gun, until I came out where the water mm mm more than up to my know, wheu 1 got Uhsi the W again, ami not m reached the solkl luud. But my clufche were f reeling Hhii iis. a iI my boots were ilUcd wilb watt. I drew thiMu off and wrung out my sock; then drawing them ou aguln, I resolutely; held on my way 4owanli the butt. Just a a the sua wu rfatlng a large bbu-krall uVm ran up ou th blUsitle sltove me, ami aliiHed with snort, in fah" range of me. But 1 was so lie IiuiuInhI ami shtvertaig, that I could not sbtsrt her; stwl I bad tlie tnorU tlmtkiu to ate her run on with tri miiplntnt UaMsl, while, with tour dlmmeil eytn.

When tihe Min arose iny clot h I tig hegau to dry a little; ami by keeping lu cttuaiant and rapKI motion, my eeth tlimlly tased ,to cluitler, and I began t fe4 aimre ctunforuihly warm, aisl dlHagretnltly hungry. I waa orely dlsappolntitl to find t'nit I bail rtiwiMtl the butte kite for tho tiMH-ulng hunt, that the deer lnul all gone to their Idtllllg pUiec. and It wiaild be a imre at-kltiit If I slsmkl got shut hoftsv they came out on the Jdllsltliw to fetnl agutu In the evntiug. I iit down on the trunk of a fallen laurel, turning my coldest wet wet tmt slile to Im sun, to cot my scanty biis'hotai and ttstsltler what I slsmkl do. By tbe time I lmd dlsintchcd the Itus'li t ftMtotl that It would lie better for my wMufort nml the safety ttf my hMs to keep iiHivlug. I resi4vsl to die lu these hills milt- ir than rot urn empty Junubtl to my hungry ami haptens comrade. Just thtm I suhi to bear aoim-oiie sny to iih: 'T1mu slmlt drink of the brook; nnd I have commanded the ravens to feel thee." A stnuige, warm thrill slurt thnaigli my henri, mvJ rati nil over iiiin I wumt and kmkiMt nrouml me. I could see isilhinir but scat til ing true, iim1 snow, ami solitude. I movetl on with a bttlf f,rlghtenHl fec hig. Again 1 acotmxl to hear (he some wortls dlstilmtly siMtkeii to me. But there eoukl le uti mistake; 1 was sure ly alone, it intmt be all a delusion. Hut ihi; again, the third lime, those wortls hciut! to ring Iihi down lu lay Very aotil! They seemed 4o ls fa miliar. I certainly lust heard them Istftire. But when, Dt where. I could not tell. Tlie voice sounded exactly like the tone of my father, as be wan wont to rood the BlUe, at family prayers. Ho, trying to reuiemlH-r whore I hmt heanl tlss woritit lM-fore. ami to sdve their ltiiort, I rumbled (a, 4n tie" hoist or starting it t'otT fixsn its etivert. Ami so, I wiuid.Tetl sluiut the foot of the butte all day; until, lute lu the evening, sifter vmssiug tUroiiKh the tletise ftirost. In the canyon at the head of IViyote creek. I caum out among tls soat.tt-rlng rctl-oaks aud 4m-s, where 1 IkuI valuly hoped to Mud alHiiKliiiice of giuue lu the uiruing. The sun waa just setting, and the little sirmk of nioiu was closely fob lowing it. As 1 moved cauthiusly ikuig tW NllsUie, w her the smow bad melted away, ami the tender, green grass thinly covered the ground which had been burnt over the preceding autumn, J was startled by the ejnphnt le ermk of a raven, coming fmm the kip of a doml snag on the bill above me, I niiMd. As I turned my eyes In that dlr.tetkm, they foil uimki a large buck ami an old doc, feetling quietly 1.11 lite hlllsltltt, nlxtit Kitty yanls fnno me, uittcker tlmn I win write It. I N-i(t a bullet through the hut'k's lomrt. With a convulsive Imp he sprung Into the air. ran violently over tbe ri Ige, Just out of my sight. Illlil fell dead. I might have killed the doe, too. If I had exortisetl my cuuuiary pre- cautkiii. ami nlomlitl tuy gun, be fore ruhlng on so eagerly lu sttin-h of the one I had slsrt; for. Just ns 1 came utsin the dead one.

It was getihu dark ami I tH-gnn to lotk for a place to camp. At length I found a large pine tree tlsit had lieen burned near ly half off at the ground nml then blown d wn by the storms. It bad hhlveml ami din tent I up very much at the sttiiop. aisl was full of pitch This wax MploiHkltl. 1 went bat-k timl tlmggel my deer to It, on the snow. TImi next -Uilug was to make a lire. But what was my auMiiw-meiit to tlnd tliut I Iiml forgotten to hruix my flint ami ateti with m! As for matches, we bad nmie; and. In fact. fcciircely know anything about them; Tor they were a recent Invention tliat lmd not yet iom Into general use ou the western frontier. The not ting moon was Jtri drawing ikiwn tin 4-tirtalti of the night U-lilinl her, ami with the Increasing darkness It was growing colder; I whs several miles from borne, nnd on the wrong ultle of tlmt cold hike; I was whirled out, and tuirileiietl with my gaum. wiuiii I cotiitt not so miieit as lift iihiii my shouliler; ami I could not think of nlKimloidug even Its liver to tint wolves. Ho, it was a settled mat ter that I must stay here all night, even ir 1 should freeze to death. However. I kwt but little time in de termining what to do. I went to the okl pine stump, ami neleolo.1 the drltt and plt-Ulft splinters I could II ml. ami whittled up a great pile of shav ings from the best of them. Then I cleared away the snowdrift from the upper side of the log. nnd laid n large quantity of the pine splinters on the ground by it. tin lh.e I piled my nhnvlngs. I took a piece of cotton ninth used for billletp;ilelilng-aiid niblM-d H tlwirottglily In some gun powder dampened with saliva, which I held in the p.-ilm of my hand, I laid this rag on the shavings, against tlie log so Jt could not blow away and sprinkled a little dry powder on It. Then I tired off my gun, nml put In a charge of powder, but no ball. I placed tbe iiiiixxIh of my rllle against the ptvpari-d cloth, nnd tired tbe loose powder from the gun. The rag took lire. And, by a little' careful blowing and dextrous manipulation, the shav ings were soon In n blaze. I piled on splinters, and soon had a fire, whose warmth rejoiced my hen it, its Us blaze lighted up the gloomy hills around me. As soon ns I got my lire well agoing, I skinned out . choice piece of ven bton and set It up on a wooden spit to roast. While my supper vyns cook ing, nnd I busied myself lu gathering pine limbs for fuel, 1 found a place where the log I had lmlll my tire lUrutimt lay up about a foot and a half nlfove tbe ground for thirty or forty foot, nci'iiHs the bead of n Utile ravine, where a qiwiuUly of oak leaves had drifted In and lUlul tip the place; ami they were donn, and nearly dry. I brought as ninny of tlicin as I wauled, anil spread them down in largo idle before the lire to dry out thoroughly so as to serve me for a couch. As soon ns one side of my supper was done, I turned the other side lo .the lire, an:1 began to eat from that which was already cooked. I hud gathered a gmd pile of fuel; so I kept up a roaring lire, and ale the swoef w,t, nml dried out iny sock and the legs of my piuil, which had not Is-en onlilroly dry since I fell Into the lake. My foot were swolhm and blistered nil over, and every lmtie and muscle In my bsly wihod with fatigue. Now, when iny hunger was ni piwsed, and I felt warm and dry, as I lay on my rustic couch looking up at the cold stors its they bllhkod at me from Iho deep blue heavens, I be gan to rcfloet on my situation and Its tinooinfortiablo concomitants. A Aisson coyotes sot tin their wild and hungry Iwiwl, n as wmiiy dlffitr (int lilmitloiis around me; ami an (iw lespoiuliMl with a desolato hoot from the gloomy canyon below, I thought of my anxloua aud hungry comrades at the cabin; I thought of my father, my nsiUiiT, and toy little brothers mid sistoi. far awy, w Imiso faces 1 nilgla nevir sea again, nicre was a heavlmw at my litMirt, ami a choking In my ttmsrt --and, 1 must etHifnw that the weary, ksiiwuiie little boy olitted lUlusolf to Sleep.

Very likely she caused Clodlus to be Introduced Into her house during the fentlvnl of tiymteceti, with the delib erate Intent to revenge herself for her hiiKbaud's lutldolltjcH, nltlioiigh she had no fear that her gallant would be dis covered. When her lord put her away without appearing as a witness ugnlns't the proillg-ito piinlclan, nnd made to Ids Inquiring friend the well-known reply, "I am unwilling that my wife fuioiim no even so much ns suspiM-tod," he showed that his pride was hurt more tlmn 'bis affection.

K.UTRN'H It IN' I- Viewed In the Light of a Recent Al legi-d Astrotioiulcal lilscovery. If I'rof. Kecler of littsburg ba itosltlvely dtMisiUMtruicd ami eslnb- llr.hitl the fact tlait the ring of Rat urn Is conipimml of Innumerable small satellites, be has achieved a notable font lu aMtroiiomlcHl disi-overy. Tim llusiry tlmt the ring Is so comptwed is not now entirely, hut It has never hts-u fully verified. I'ttof, Kecler's pns-oss of reasoning Is not only scleii tlllc, but exti'edlngly Ingenious, and It seems tha t be lias sol veil an ast nui oinlcal problem of long standing. The ring of Kalura Is Itself one of the strongest mysteries of astronomy. Why Solum alone of all the planets of the sokir system sliotild Imve a ring Is inoeinpreheimlblK Jupiter, which Is nit re than three times ns large n. Haturn, has no ring, nml nil the smaller planiMs gcaloiig without one, Suttirii alone being supidletl with the evceirtloual nnd apimitntly use- loss apiK-iitl.ige. The Hug consists of three apimrtut rings lying In one plane and of different degrees of density. The liit.er edge of the ring Is .VtHxi miles from the planet Itself, mid lis toiul diameter Is ITmi miles. It wns first iliscovoml lu 1ITP, ami has been nuv or less a subject of spccttlaitkMi end observation by iimU'oii oiners evtr sltsv. It wns nt first as sumed tods! solid, but tlmt theory whh nlmtidotiod. Then the inwpted thwry for a king time wns that it consisted of a vast number of isirtlcles or min ute IksIIiw free to move relatively to one another; In short, Unit It wsts fluid. Tim tbisiry was largely con jectural. For nlmttt twenty live yHtirs past the ring of Saturn Ims leii a subject of (HiuMuuiil vlglUince nnd study by us Iroitomers. Hoarohlng tolcHopis In nil parts of the world have been pointed nt It nt regular nml frequent Intervals, noil there Iwivo lieen few nights In the year when sharp nml burned eye have not been trying to unravel Its mystery. In INTO M. Teotivelot, a French Astronomer of nolo nt that time In this country, but who afterward reltirntd to France, began a series of olservntlons of Kait iirn, first with his own telescope nt Oainbrldgo, Mass., nnd Inter with the much larger ones at Harvard uni versity nnd the observatory at Wash ington. In 187(1 he announced some Interesting conclusions, but none touching the composition of the ring except that "the matter composing Mm dusky ring," meaning the part nearest tbo planet Itself, "Is agglom erated hero and tlierp Ipto small tniiKKos which almost wholly prevents the light of the pliini't from reaching tha eye of fhp olwervur.

In 1H.S1 Dr. Meyers, mSwIws nutnwi omur, made a scries of oliworvntlon which letl ts a careful revision of tho figures rebMlve to the dltnensilons of Saturn nnd the diameter of the ring. I'rof.
