I J-card no much abuut them that I was anxious to rc them. It neemed, however, that I wa to bo u:aprKintej. When I arrived I heard that tutf 5rU had gone to a party on the other aide of theer; o I went to lnid execrating the luck which deprived me of seeing them that night. The night had well advanced when I heard one of the girls come in and passing into an adjoin ing room, sLc yenned herself before some omU which wro alive on the hearth. It eeenn the old crtntkman end lady slept in ? . . ,t me same rom, wmcn not aware of then. Having warmed herself, she turned to leac the room, when the eld man spoke: "Girl the school master1 is in your Wl." "Very well," said Sarah, and pacing through the room I slept in, went up stairs. An hour elapsed when heard Judy, the other one. he stood a lon time at the door talking with L.sr tt eethea.-t, then entcrcl softly. ' 1 lJuroling her feet she catered the room where I lay in her stocking feet, carefully undrcing herself she came totheideof the bed prepared to get in. Now it hap pened that I lay in the middle, and turning Lack tlui clothes she gave a shake, and said in a Buppjessed whisper : "Lay over, Sarah." I rolled over and wiped the corner of the pillow in my mouth to keep from laughing, in she bounced but the Ixrd would qucak. The old man beard it, and called out: "Judyl" "Sir,?' wa? responded faintly from the bed beside me. "The schoolmaster in in that bed." With one loud yell, and "Oh heavens," he landed on the floor, and fled with the ra pidity of a deer up etairn. She never heard the last of that, I can tell you.Ex.

NyMBKUTIUHTKES.3 The day wo reached Kock f Indopcrl denco tho caravan caino nigh Icing run over, or run through, by a heavy liord of tt..nl ; iii t . .i i , uuuuiu, wiucu wcrp uiuucn oy mo nui till thev wer closo upon ua. The cara van, which wa, pcrhap, two miles long, was closed up as fast aa possible, and tho guard and every nian that could bo spared dashed out upon tho head of tho dark column that poured VJcrjf n through tho hills, as though hero wa nVcSd. to it. THo Read of the column was about to strike tho caravan "amid ahips," and on they came, in ppito of a hundred riflca pouring powder and balln into their very eyes, and it seemed as if nothing could avo us from being trampled into tho dust and stripped of our last animal. And now our wen, struggling to turn tho liv ing flood, aro actually umigliug with ocr camp, and our horses and mulct arc norW iug and bounding to break their lines ond bo off, when tho arm of (Jod interposes, tho head ones yield under the shower of balw, and turn to the right, and this liv ing torrent of "God'n cattle upon a thou sand hi) U" swept down by the caravan with eyes gleaming Ore, uttering a terrific unearthly groan and causing the very etrth to tremble by tho tramp of their countless thousands. The scene was fear ful, thrilling ami grai.d beyond tho power of language. Home dozen lay dead upon tho ground, but the thick skulLj of the bull glanced off tho ball like rocks. Tho eamc day, teley, the German traveler, out from tamp upon his amuse ment, left hii horse untied to approach a band of buffalo. Ho fired, the cow fell, the herd fled, and turning ho beheld hi own horse in a tight run after tho band, with bridle, naddle and piftohiallon board. He pursued, aneended one hill after anoth er, only to fee the buffalo htill further off and upon the run, and bin horfe elo-e be hind them. Ho came into camp that night on foot, weary and somewhat im proved in wisdom. I give the following slatcmcnU a I re ceived them from mountain men : These regions had been noted for two bulU and ten cows, iru'e a$ otr, which had been seen for years in the?? hi!! by the trap pers and the Indian tribea. The latter. account of their "(ircat Medicine' and the farmer on account of their singu lar color, had a.W given these beauties of tho mountains a free Kci ot those occasions wheu they were killing .ad mak ing up their meat for camp. Ua the plain ot Laratmc a singular horse wa noticed for years, at the head of a wild band, which had prob ably found their Way from tho Bpan ish settlements. This honso wa never known to break his Vpapo," or "rack," never seen jn tho trot or galJop. However closely pursued the band might be, b wolves or the "lasso, this horwi v,aj a ways ahead, in his rolling pace, appearing more like an animal with wing than a horse upon the run. Several good horses had been brought from the Stales, but none ever proved able to lay the rope over his proud neck ; and by mutual consent all abstained from shooting at his beauti ful form with a view to "crease, 6r crip ple him, as is often done to get possession of a fleet horse. The year before we passed, a Cheyenne chief rode into Fori William one day on a fine American horse, wtyh the leg of an other horse hobbled, with an iron hobble, to the leg of the horse which he was rid ing. He wished the blacksmith to take off'the hobble, as ho had uo use for it nor for the fifth leg, which he was com pelled to cut off and take with him when he killod one horse, in order to steal one. It seems a free trapper traveling with the Company, had prepared himself iron hob bles, and not being willing to subject his horses every night to a short picket, with out crass, withip tho camp and guard, had hobbled his horses out, tho leg of one to the log of the other. The Indian thief would have taken both could ho have cut the hobblo. This ho could not do, and one horno was better than none, so he killed one, cut off his leg and took it up before htm, and alter tho caravan had passed on, camo into the fort as above stated. On tho 29th wo left this romantic camp to repeat our wearisomo clamberings up and down these "everlasting hills," which proved to be a most difficult country for our wagon. Ultcn the headtf the cara van could bo seen climbing over a steep precipice or disappearing in a narrow de file, where tho wagon could not possibly follow : and then wo would havo to dash out at a venture in a more circuitious and barely passable route, and every time were compelled to fall futhcr behind and become moro and more exposed to danger from prowling bands of savages, who ever hang upon such caravans, ready to pick up stragglers. And those Black .Hills were the most dangerous part of our jour ney. In those mountains, Bonneville fwo years before, had been compelled to let his wagons down some of the steep precipices by ropes, although he had ox teams, and finally abandoned them on Green River. Dr. Whitman and mysel took turns in driving our light wagon which was every day wearing down our horses and of no use to Mrs. Spaulding in ner teeoie state ot neaitu, as tne rough sage and the rugged hills made it impos sible for her to ndo iqf it: We constantly hoped for'bst't'er country, and so held on to tho wagon till wo reached v on Boise : and when Prosidout Tyler, in March of '43, asked Dr.' Whitman, in Washington it ne thought he could taKe wagops across tho 'mountains, and the continent (as heretofore stated), tho Doctor could answer, as. ho did c "We have taken wagon,?and cattle, fand' our women over the route six years before?' That answer settled the destiny of Oregon and secured m.yo me piaies.as we oaYSBno.'v.jyreeUe68Dess. : , . . A $8(1,000 Job, Tho head clerk of a largo firm in Charlcstown promised an old 'customer, ono day, half a balo of Itussian duck to be on hand pr6cicly at orfo clock, when tho man was to leave town with his goods. "Tho firm' was out of duck, and tho clerk wc-riCover to Boston to buy somo. pt findipgtbe. truckman, ho hired a man toMako it over in hi wheelbarrow. Finishing other busincKfl, on his return to Charlcstown, tho clerk found tho man not half way over tho bridge, Bitting on his barrow, half dead vith tho heat. What wa.f to lie done ? It was then half past twelve, and tho goods were promised at one. There was not a mo rue n t td lose. In epite of tho heat, tho dust and hi.i light bummer clothes, the young man' seized tho wheelbarrow and pushed on. Pretty soon a rich merchant whom the young man knew very" well, tiding on horseback, overtook him. "What," feaid he, "Mr. Wilder turned truckman 1" "Yes," answered tho clerk. "The goods aro promised at one o'clock, and my man has given out ; but, you sec, I am determined to bo as good as my word." "(Hood, good!" naid tho gentleman, and trotted on. Calling at the store where tho young man was employed, ho told his employer what he had Keen. "And 1 want you to tell him," said the gentleman, that when he goes into business for himself, my nau is at his service for $30,000." 'Ileaching the store, which ie did in1 time, you may be sure the high price fcet on his conduct made amcuds for all the heat, anxiety and fatigue of the job. Keeping his word. You oo how im portant it is regarded. It is one of the best capital a buines man can have. To be worth much to anybody, a boy mu4t4orm, a character of reliability. He must bo depended cn. And you will like to know perhaps that this young man be came ono of the most cmincut merchants of his day, known far nnd wide, both in Lurope 1'apcr. and in this country. Child's Til en AND Now. Kossuth the great Magyar who electrified the people some fifteen years ago, by the power of his elo quence, and astonished them bv the pu rity and copiousness with which he spoke their own language, is living in poverty and obscurity itt London. He is aid to have so changed in appearance of late that many of his former friends fail to recog nize him upon a first sight. By the way the history of Jhis great "rebel recalls a curious illustration of the adage, tnnpora mutnnter. et no$ mutamur in illit. When ,'hc Hungarian "rebellion" was suppress ed, Koftuth, with a number of followers, tied to Turkey. Austria demanded his extradition, but Turkey declined on the round that political reiugecs wvm tverywncre. jne steam jnpw -'i"- sippi.Cap'atn Ioog, which was then cruis ing in the Mediterranean, received Kos suth and his suite on Ward, and brought them to the United States. A perfect ovation asraited the "rebel" wherever he went. Men 1 threw up their haU and shouted, and filled tho Magyars purse with money, and fair women -smothered him with' boquets. He was honored at doing him honor. Austria, tyrannical, ba-e Austria, was insulted in speeches and resolutions, for attempting the subj ugation of a people who desired to be free, and the right of all people to revolutionize their Government at pleasure was claimed to be cardinal. Time rolls on : Kossuth disappears from the scene, other Kos- suths arise, but this time the revolution is in their own household, the new lvossutns become "traitors," and tho former war shippers of Kossuth become Austrians: and thus it is that "times change, and we chango with them." Mobilo Gazette. "Whining" Women, Brigham Young, of Utah, has been blowing up tho women of that free-and-easy Territory in a manner at once awful and unique. He accuses them of "whining" and says they must either "stop that kind of nonsense" or clso start for tho other side of Jordan, at once and ho tells his own forty wives that ho meant them, as well as the rest of tho feminine Utahyans. He says that the wholo difficulty the direct occasion of tho disagreeable and unbearable "whin ings" lies jn tho fact that "the women expect too much of the Saints I" He says that the women -even his own forty aro so weak-minded as to suppose that the 6aintly ciders of tho Mormon Israel can make a heaven on earth for them and that after a woman has entered a Saint's familv. and finds that after all he is not ablo to make a heaven on earth for her sho begins to "whine" and talk about ''too many wives," and tho "evils o polygamy," and such liko "blasphemous twaddle." Brigham also says it is bJs oninion that any woman whoever lived would be disappointed in tho best"Saint" in tTtah', should she marry himand on this point Ve unreservedly agree with Brigham. The' Governor gave all the women warning that two weeks from date of his sermon against "whining," ; he should call upon them either to promiso never to "whine" 'more or else leave the XCrruory, nag ana uaggagu, saying ma ho would even send off all his own wives and co to Heaven' alone, sooner than take such a "whining" crew along with him.- Wo shall await the next news from Utah with deep : interests-Exchange.

All travelers have mentioned with as tonishment tho peculiar buoyancy of tho water of Great Bait Lake, and it is truly surprising. No danger iJf shipwreck need ever cross tho mind of those who navigate tho lake, ior it would be impossible for them to siak; if thrown overboard. With ray l ands clasped 'together tinder my head, and my lect crossed, I floated on he surface ot the lake, with at least ono bird of my body out of tho water. Jpon a rarra summcri day there would not bo tlie slightest difficulty in coin z to sleep upon -the lake, and allowing your self to be blown about as the wind per mitted; only one would need an umbrella to keep off tho rays of the sun. Mr. Uowks has stated'' that three buckets of this water will yield one bucket of solid salt, but inasmuch a water will not hold above twenty-five per cent, of saline mat ter in solution, and if more bo added it is instantly deposited upon iho'bottom, his estimate is, of course, too large. On in quiring of the Mormons engaged in pro curing alt, they unanimously staled that or every five buckets of water they ob tained one bucket of salt, which gives the proportion as no less than twenty per cent. ro visitor to tho lake fhould omit the bath ; the sensation in the water is most luxurious, and leads ono to think limstlf floating in the air. On the way back to the city, it will be as well for the bather to stop at the superb sulphur baths u.nt outside the town, apd remove the ncrustxtions which will have formed up on him, by a plunge into the fine swim- tmnz baths, whose only objection is its ccuhar odor and its rrcat heat, which require a largo ad pit two of cold water. A Motlcrn IfcreuIoM. To be tho strongest man in the world is not an unenviable position, and feats of strength are always interesting sights, and requently lurnteh topics of conversation and discussion. Such has been the case at Chesterfield, England, at the Spa Ho tel, in regard tofeaU of Etrengthof a na tive of Australia, who gave a tmnce there before a sprinkling of members of the cor poration, the medical rjrofeisi6n. solicitors. veterinary surgeons, bankers, and some of the most respectable inhabitants of Ches terfield. Professor Hercules having-ex- libitcd some very valuable and handsome resents, proceeded to hold a fifty-six ound weight in various positions at arm's cngth, and increased the number until ic raised four fifty-six pound weighU above his head, holding them at arm's ength, and at tho same time standing upon four tumbler glasses. He aba .held weigh U on the top of the glass, and al- owed a glass 01 water to bo placed on the top of the weights. He laid flat upon the floor and let a 5G-poand weight fall a dis tance of about a yard on to his bare chest, and the - weight rebounded as though it tad come in contact with a piece of India- rubber. A piece of stone four inches hick was next placed upon his chest, and Hindi, blacksmith, smashed it to frag ments at two blows. Hindi and Turner then cut a pieco of two-inch iron in two across his chest with the hammer and chisel. The feats concluded with Pro- essor Hercules lavinc flat urxm the floor mf 4 and allowing Hinch to strike him with all 11s strength with a lo-pouud sledge ham mer.
