WAITING. "Five years to wait!" Dont do it. My innocent blue-eyed maid For the yean may last a lifetime, VVbiie your youthful rosea fade ! "Wbola your eyes are red with weeping. And watching the treacherous sea : Till you sing the (rag of the lone one. He never came back to me." Five years to wait, while others Are dancing the danoe of youth, Ana the one, perhaps, you are Uiibting Is breaking his vows, f uraooth ! ' Lm11 wajt !or my """, my darling, ho has sailed far over the' sea, , Five years, or ten, or twenty," Said the blue-eyed maid to me. Bo she wrote her love-letters, ' th- tended her garden Sowers, Or watched the restless billows nA?f 0x9 be"ulu diff for hours ; while she turcica her suitors pining Away from the cottage door. And waited, patiently waited. One long year or more. " Tis very weary waiting," Said the blue-yed maid to me, And she glanced at her last new suitor 'J And then at the restless sea ; And she glanced at the rosea fading In her garden fair and bright. Twice come, twice gone since he left her, Two years before that night. And she married her last new suitor Before the winter sped : And she wrote to her abhit lover On the day that she was wed, She hoped he would not sutler, That the shock would soou be o'er," And the answer soon informed her He had married a year before. HOW I BECAME RICH. A California Story. About seven miles southwest of the middle Fork of Bowlder Creek was a farm-house that went by the name of Bloom Fallow. An exceedingly retired man, surmised to be an Englishman, named Kent, lived there in groat seclu sion with his single servant, an old man, who owned and that was all yon could get him to own to the name of Jerry. As to when Kent came, there, or who he was before he came there, or how he made a living there being no appear ance of farming or stock-raising going on nobody knew. Happening myself, however, to become possessed somewhat singularly of certain interesting particu lars on the subject, I will lay them before you, and leave you to form your own conclusions. I had been gold-seeking in that vicin ity for several days with indifferent suc cess, when one evening, finding myself near this house, which I had never "seen before, and much preferring a roof over xuy neau u a couxu nave it, x waLKeU up to the door and knocked, determined to ask permission to spread my blankets on the iioor for the night. I heard a voice within direct "Jerry" to open the door. Then it was opened, and I was admitted by the old man. I proffered my request ; but he bent his ear as if he did not under stand. "I repeated it in a louder tone, when a man whom I had not before ob served, crouching over a low fire, with out turning, answered me in the affirma tive. I entered, spread my blankets, took a bag containing gold dust from my pack, and placed it under my pillow, and then began eating a few biscuits which I had with me for supper, when a slight noise against the thin partition at my elbow made me turn my head suddenly in that direction. There was a knot-hole about two feet from the ground, and looking through it was an eye as red as a game cock's. A moment more, and it was gone. 1 heard the subdued sound of retreating footsteps, and a door gently closed. A little while after, old Jerry came in from out doors, and sat down by the fire without speaking. - I ventured a few re marks, hoping to start a conversation, but receiving no reply, gave up the at tempt, and rolling myself in my blanket, endeavored to go to sleep. There was some singularity in the conduct of my hosts, I thought ; but then I was used to singular people, and as for fear, so long as my two pistols were in order, I did not know what it was. I troubled my self but little with these or any other re flections, however, and was soon worship ing the "drowsy god" How long I slept, I do not know. My next recollections are of a state of half consciousness, in which I seemed to be struggling violently to wake, without the power to do so ; as if some . indefinable but imminent danger were near me that I should perish if I slept. Suddenly I awoke. I think it was the sound of gal loping steps of a horse approaching the dwelling that caused me to regain my consciousness ; at any rate, that was the noise which first struck upon my ears as I opened my eyes. But I did not devote much time to reflection, I can assure you ; for as I did so, the first object I saw was the figure of old Jerry bending over me, while the moonlight, which slanted through the single broken pane, glittered upon the white steel blade of a huge bowie-knife, which he held uplifted in the act of striking. . I must own that I considered my life gone, for there was not even time for me to cock a pistol ; bat luckily, while the villain had not seen me wake, the noise outside suddenly called off his attention. The delay was a renewal of life to me, and fatal to him. In an instant more, I had covered him with a pistol ; in an other, a flash, report, a cloud of smoke, and he fell dead, shot through the brain. Almost simultaneously I heard the horse stop at the door. Some one dis mounted, and tried to force the door. It was immovable. Next I heard efforts at the door in the rear, communicating with the partitioned apartment I have made reference to. At last, I heard it give way; and some one whose tread I fancied was too light for a man's, entered. There was a breathless silence for a mo ment, during which the steed's restless champing of his bit outside seemed a painful contrast. Then I heard a singu larly sweet voice, which, however con tradictory it may appear, had yet with it a tone of intense ferocity, uttering the following with a slightly Spanish accent: " William Kent, you are in this house. You cannot escape by the other door, for I have tied it with my lasso. ' You can not pass this, for I guard it. I know that you are hearing me; I know that you recognize my voice. I am Juanita ! You entered my father's house, and re ceived his hoepitaUty.: You cruelly mur dered him you and your villainous com patriot. You fled with your booty. You thought you were safe; but you itere mistaken. I have foKowed you ax hun dred miles; I have been on your trail for three years. I have found you at last, i Will the bloodhound forego to jend his prey f Do you think I will lofe my re venge now t Just heavens I NrI" As she concluded, there was rush, as if some one had made for the door; a sudden shriek, a struggle, 4 sickening swish, as of keen metal penearating flesh, a pistol shot, a loud cry, a heavy, lifeless fall. : I . did not listen longer, baft tore away the slight boards which formed the partition. The body of the host, traitor as he was, and a lovely young Spanish girl, her features terribly beautiful, with the shadow of her accomplished purpose still on them lay on the floor. As the moonlight shone on the face of William Kent, I fancied I saw a movement of the lips, I bent over him; and caught the faintly, dyingly uttered words, - " It is truer . f - Perhaps you fjhink I did not spend the remainder of the night at Bloom Fal low. But I did, though, and the next morning buried all the bodies in one grave. I may add that I struck a crevice, after removing the heartintoue, wmcn paid me so well, that I have never been a gold-seeker since. Juauita's httlo uu ifornia pony is in my stable.

During the past year, the usual list of accidents arisincr from skirts taking tire j has been given in the newspapers. In dies passing or sitting; near au u' of coal or wood; children left to their own devices before the nursery grate, and actresses swiiigiug their trams too near the foot-lights, have all contributed their sad stories of death or disfigure ment. Moved by the reiterated reports of such casualties, Queen Victoria, some years ago, requested Prof. Graham, a nliprmst. nf hicli staudinsr. to institute ex- i periments with a view to finding some i method of rendering cotton fabrics fire proof. It was admitted that wnue lire might be communicated to other fabrics, cotton alone flashed into flame upon the slightest provocation. The investiga tions of Prof. Graham, aided by two distinguished Gurmivn experts, re sulted in a recommendation of certain salts of ammonia as most effective for the desired purpose, and not at all in jurious to the goods. Sulphate of am monia in solution, containing 10 per ient. of the salt, received pieces of tin shod muslin that were dried rapidly in a machine known as "hydra-extractor." The fabrics thus treated proved wholly uninflammable, wliile their colors were undiminished, save where madder had lun etrmlnved as a dve. and .even that ! tint was only modified slightly, and ren ! dered less gundy by the operation. Just as women would sponge cloth before transforming it into garments, let them wash new muslin in the ammonia salt re ferred to. The soiled articles already made up should, nfer washing and dry ing as usual, be subjected to another dip in the salt before ironing, and they are then fireproof. Mctropol itan . The Fuel of the Sun. The matter from which the worlds were formed came from the hands of Omnipotence in its most attenuate state. lurougliout space there rolls a vast ocean of this material, which science calls cos mical matter star dust. It is to a con stant rain of this star dust and meteoral ites into the sun that this heat is due. It is a law of matter that retarded motion i shall evolve heat. When we shoot a ball j against a rock its surface will become j heated in proportion to the velocity of j the missile. So does the rain of matter j develop heat by its being retarded by the i sun's surface. A fine example of the way i in which the fires of the sun are fed, I may be seen in the fall of the meteoral- ltes upon the earth. These vagrants are caused to emit light and heat by friction during their passage through the air, and by striking the earth. It is sad to contemplate the end to which the de mand of the sun's greed must inevitably lead, for when the supply of star dust is exhausted, and comets and meteors are no more the planets will obey the stern summons, and one after another fall into the funeral pile of the worlds. Those nearest the sun will first respond, until the most distant courtier will come at his call to feed the last flickering flame. Then will he grow cold and hang in space a dead, cheerless thing, the ashes of a great conflagration. A Young Woman's Presence of Mud. Thursday afternoon, as Miss Mattde Briley, daughter of Mrs. William Briley-, of Battle Creek, was out riding on the Marshall road with a lady friend, she met a farmer who was coming into town with a load of wood, and who had got stuck on the Michigan Central Railroad cross ing in front of the Roberta farm. The farmer was in a critical situation, as the day express from the east was then due, and the ruinb ing of the train was already heard in the distance. He urged his horses to the utmost, but they failed to even start the load. Every minute was growing more perilous. Miss Briley, seeing that something must be done, gave the reins to her friend and jumped out of her cutter. She was wearing a red cloak over her shoulders, and taking that in her hand she hurried to the rail road track and waved it in front of the locomotive as it curiae thundering along. The whistle sounded down brakes and the engineer reversed his engine. iThe train came to a standstill and the pas sengers and railroad men came pouring out to see what the matter was. They all lent a helping hand and pushed the sleigh of the track, relieving from his perlious situation the excited and fright ened farmer, who svTTWwtWl -. naa v,;D sleigh and wood made into kindlings and T. : i , , , , -, .

An Indian Story. ; The Sioux City Journal has the fol lowing somewhat extraordinary account of the surroundings on the occasion of a late audition to the census : We learn from a reliable gentleman of this city, who is just back from a trip up the river, the particulars of another ex traordinary case of experiences in the last awtui buzzard. An Indian and his squaw were caught out in the storm while journeying from Fort Randall to Fort Thompson agency, and becoming bewildered took refuge in a ravine. They wrapped their blankets about them and sat down under the bank. The snow soon covered them, but the Indian kept a hole through the rapidly forming drift wiin ms gun, wmcn he would poke up occasionally. They remained there all night, and the drift became so high in the meantime that he was oliged to splice the ramrod to the end of. his rifle in order to reach the top of it and keep up the ventilation. During their cheerless imprisonment the squaw was delivered of a child, and it was christened " Snow Drift." This paragraph will no doubt seem a little fishy to persons unacnu&int- ed with wild Indian life, but to persons wno nave oeen among the reds it will not by any means appear improbable. Hurrah for Stanley. An English paper says ; " Mr. Stan ley's first letter from t Africa shows that he has, at the outset of his journey, ac complished a great work, the moral and material importance of which can hardly be exaggerated. In thirty days he ex plored lie Bufigi river, which Mr. Kirk reported to be navigable. Mr. Stanley, as the result of his spirited voyage in the Yarmouth yawl, the ; Wave, informs us that the river carries a- good navigable channel fifty miles inland, and he be lieves that for nearly half that distance the largest Mississippi steamboat of five thousand tons might safely float.- Mr. Stanley, by bis initial bit of work, puts the British Consul at Zanzibar to shame, and justifies the belief that he is not un worthy to continue the work which was begun by Livingstone." AN INSANE MAN'S LEAP. He Jumps from the Capitol Dome, Descends l-O Feet Head-Foremost, and Is Found Dead and Mamrlerf. - i Manv men have Kn v at different tunes, to conceive the idea llmu lul " IU,lu win greatness no easier wav was presentable than to do a deed of darinsr that word.! i. hearts of a community r r deeds most frequently sugerested, but less ilKelV of Demo- mmmiH, xi. x - r jumping from the dome of the Capitol to on I t, uiHiance oi nearly dOO feet. It was never supposed that a man in his sane senses would ever at tempt such an exploit, as the odds for hfe were fearfully outbalanced in the scale of chances. Still the attempt was made yesterday, about 1 o'clock, and with the result that might have been ex pected the man, when found, being an almost unrecognizable mass of clotliing, blood and bones. An hour previous to making the leap he had been seen by a telegraph operator on the roofs about the mam building, climbing light ladders and making dangerous ventures toward the eaves, but acting in a manner to in dicate that he possessed strong nerves and perfect control over hi having time to spend in watching him, uio eiecmuuui proceeded to attend to his business. Afterward he mounted to the upper outside gallery that encircles the crest of the dome at the base of the pedestal to the statue of the Goddess of Liberty. Taking a view of the different sections of the city which this point commands, he finally halted on the east side directly over the entrance. Here he first attract ed the attention of a coachman mounted on the box of his carriage, which was situated on the roadway j near the east park, by climbing upon the railing of the balcony. He was seen to assume an up right position, look around, then gather himself up and shoot out into the space intervening between where he stood and the ground. He turned as he descended and came head-foremost, soon striking the iron cornice of the lower gallery, which forced- him off on the iron braces beneath, and also showing marks of blood where he hit in passing. He then landed head-first on the copper roof of the main building, a distance of , about 170 feet from where he started. Infor mation of the fact was immediately given to Capt. S. S. Blackford, Chief of the Capitol Police, who, accompanied by some of his officers, at once proceeded to the spot. On reaching the roof, they found the man completely doubled up and life extinct. He was somewhat straightened out and removed to a small space near the room where the electric batteries for lighting the dome are stationed, and left to await the arrival of Coroner D. C. Patterson, who had been notified. The body pre sented a horrible sight to gaze upon. The head had been completely crushed in and one side of the face was perfectly flat ; a deep cut, splitting the skull, tra versed across the head above the right eye, and through which portions of the brain were protruding. One eye had sprung from the socketj and appeared ready to drop out. The nose was crushed flat, all the teeth gone but one, some loose in the mouth, and ' the tongue cut and bleeding. The right shoulder was broken, also the arm. The neck had been driven into the body, and the head appeared resting between the two shoul ders. About the physiognomy and clothing was a profusion of blood that assisted in making up a sickening sight. Washington Republican, Feb. 13. The Shepherd's Crook. The Danbury man wrote from Europe pathetically : " You have seen pictures of shepherds with the proverbial crook in their hands. I didn't think a party coidd be a shepherd without this crook. I was glad that the first man I saw tend ing sheep carried one of these crooks. I didn't know what a crook was for, but always believed that it was a badge of the occupation, whose origin I could not fathom, handed down jfrom century to century since the time sheep were invent ed. Imagine my genuine disgust when I saw this shepherd use the sacred crook to capture the straying animals by catch ing hold of one of their hind legs and tipping them up. The awful truth came upon me like a flashy and I sat down heavily, a broken-hearted man. I had thought it a beautiful emblem, and it proves to be a hind-leg snatcher. I must have more salary or I will sink into an early grave, I fear." i "Vinegar Bitters. Dr. J. Walker, a regular practicing physician of California, has conferred a priceless boon upon mankind, by the introduction of a " Bit ters " compounded from herbs exclu sively, which may be jtruly said to be superseding all others, land is becoming a bitter dose indeed oir the charlatans and quacks, on account of its immense sale and universal popularity. Not only are these Vinegar Bitters, as he calls them, an invaluable tonic and alterative, but they are acknowledged as a standard Medicine, and the astonishing rapidity with which they cure diseases hitherto declared incurable, seems almost incredi ble. After having been carefully tested, they are kept on hand, in thousands of households, and used for any and every form of disease, many relying upon them in preference to the j most celebrated physicians. They have become a recog nized "Family Remedy," and prop erly so. i 25 ; i The official report to the Austrian gov ernment, respecting musical instruments at the Vienna Exposition, declares the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs to be "the most distinguished and praise worthy instruments " of their class ; praising in detail their power and reso nance of tone, variety of combination and solo effects ; fine power of expression ; smooth, even and sympathetic tones, and thorough workmanship. They were awarded the first and highest medal. Other American organs in competition were declared to be far less meritorious, the tones and workmanship being both interior. In comparison, it was said " Judged 'eniently, they do not rise above a respectable mediocrity." This was undoubtedly the most extensive, thorough and competent comparison of such instruments ever made.

Knowing that you are subject to a great mount of suffering, that, delicacy on your part has a strong tendency to prolong, and tne longer it is neglected the more you have to endure and the more diliicult of cure your case becomes, I, an a physician, who is daily consulted by scores of your sex, desire to say to you, that I am con Htautlv meeting with those who have been treated for their ailments for months without being benefited in the least, until they have be come perfectly discouraged, and have almost made up their minds never to take another dose of medicine, nor be tortured by any further treatment. They had rather die and have their sufferings ended than to live and suffer as they have. They say they are worn out by suffering, and are only made worse by treatment. Of any tiling more discouraging, we certainly cannot conceive, and were there no more successful mode of treating such difficulties than that, the principles of which teach the reducing and de pleting of the vital forces of the system, when the indications dictate a treatment directly the reverse of the one adopted for them, their cases would be deplorable indeed. But lady sufferers, there is a better and far more successful plan of treatment for you ; one more in harmony with the laws and requirements of your systems. A harsh, irritating caustic treatment and strong medicines will never cure you. If you would use rational means, such as common-sense should "dictate to every intelligent ladv, take such medicines as embody the very best invig orating tonics and nervines, -compounded with special ref erence to your delicate systems. Such a happy combination you will find in my Favorite Prescription, which has received the loudest praise from thousands of your sex. Those languid, tiresome sensations, causing you to feel scarcely able to be on your feet or ascend a flight of stairs ; that continual drain that is sapping from your systems all your former elasticity, and driving the bloom from your cheeks ; that continual strain upon your vital forces that rcalers you irritable and fretful, may all be overcome and subdued by a persevering use of that marvelous remedy, "irregularities and ob structions to the proper workings of your sys tems are relieved by this mild and safe means, while periodical pains, the existence of which is a sure indication of serious disease that should not be neglected, readily yield to it ; and if its use is kept up for a reasonable length of time, the special cause of these pains is permanently removed. Further light on these subjects may be obtained from my pamphlet on diseases pe culiar to your sex, sent on receipt of two stamps. My Favorite Prescription is sold by druggists.

The question is almost daily asked, " What is the cause of the unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit ters?" Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient re covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Inrigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a mediciun tjea compounded possessing the rrmftrkiib!e quai.tieg of Yinkga r Bittkrs in healing the sick of every disease man ia heir to. They are a gentle Purpative as well aa a 'Ionia relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Biliout Diseases. .; The properties of Dr. Walker's VijtESAR Bittkrs axe Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nu" is. Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, County tant, Sudorific, AJtera tive, andLnti-... jous. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vin egar Bitters the most wonderful In vigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. , No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent and Inter mittent Fevers, which are so preva hent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon these various or gans, is essentially necessauy. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the dark colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the bodj' against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed.

Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid neys, and a hundred other painful symp toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lcpthv advertise ment. Scrofula, or King's Evil, Whitt Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipulas, Swelled Xeck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Aifectious, OA Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes. etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis eases, Walker's Vi.nkgar Bittkrs have shown their great curative powers iu the most obstinate and intractable eses. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidncvs and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. Persons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. vTo guard against this, take a dose of Walker's Vix eoar Bitti?rs occasional! v. ForSKin Diseases," Eruptions, Tet ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, King-worins, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas. Itch, Scurfs, Discoloration of the" Skin, II unions and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a bliort time by the use of these Bitters. i. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. To system of medicine, no vermifuges 'o an thelmintics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. , For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo manhood, or the turn of life, these Tomo Bitter display so decided an influence that improvemeat is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whep ever you find its impurities bursting through the skiii in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores-, cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it if foul ; your feelings will tell you when. Keey the blood pare, and the health of the systerr will follow. ii. h. Mcdonald & co., Drnceists and Gen. A irta Snn Vranniann rattrn i. ouu wr. in Hauini ashington and Charlton Sts., N."Y.
