and it was after dark when wo roachud Mr.

of daylight, when wo resumed our journey.
After getting nliovo tho I.itUo Canyon,
wo found thu iKinpIo in soma excitement in

Wo stopiied but a fow minutes at Win
chester, which, by tlio way, has a fino sito
for a town, and npicars to bo nourishing,
and hastened on to this place, where wo
will remain until to-morrow. Uoseburg,

inn, probably feeling just tlio least triflo in

Mr. Thomnsom remonstrated not to in
duce hor to chango that No for Yes, but
for trilling with him, in a solemn duty of
his railing, and asked or an explanation.
" I meant no disrespect to you, sir, or to
trillo with yoir duty, or tho solemn obliga

had no other way to vindicato my charac
tcr. I camo to tho city a poor sewing girl.
I worked for this man. Ho made propo
sals of marriago to mo, but from othor cir
cumstances I doubted his sincerity, and left
his employment and went to the country
for a whilo. When I relumed,! found tho
door of my former boarding-houso closed
against me; and tins lady whom 1 had es
teemed as a kind friend, cold nnd quito in
disposed to rrnow ray acquaintauct ; and I
insisted upon knowing the reason. I learned
that this man had blackened my diameter,
denied his proposals of marriage, and said
I was no matter what I said to tho lady.
" let mo como back, and I will provo my

" Yes ; I certainly will, and 80 wm all

" I renowed tlio acquaintance ho re

naid: "Yes, get tlio minister at once."
Ho slandered me I deceived him. I pro
ved my words true, and his false. It was
tho only way a poor, helpless girl had to
nvengo herself upon a man man who iiad
proved himself unworthy to bo her hus
band. It was only, nt tho right time, to
say ono little word ono little- word. I
havo said it I hope it will bo a lesson to
men, nn example to other girls, and that in
many othor and diflerent circumstances
thoy will learn to say No."
"If I was angry for a Binglo moment,"

Vtom tho Watr Curo Journal,
Ha thl iik Children lu Cold Writer.
Hut If parents will uso cold wator on their
own persons, lot mo cntroat them to havo
mercy on their helpless children. Do heed
thoir cries and entreaties to warm it just n
liltlol Nothing is moro heathenish and
barbarous than to batho children in cold or
nearly cold water. I believo it injurous to
wash our hands and faces in cold winter
water. Thoso who do it. will find that
ljiey havo rough nnd cracked skins.
I1. ...nv " -r .i.!ii -lii ,..
j jiu (ijiurinf ui ciiijiirun wnwj ein
washed is but small compared with tho evil
effects that often follow tlio application of
cold water to tuo head, viz: congestion of
the head or lungs, especially tho latter.
True, cold water so applied will inako pre
cocious children, nnd it will also fill tho
gravoysrd with tho opening buds of infan
cy. I think it will bo found that moro
children die of head diseases since tho uso
of cold water has been in roguo, than be
fore; and for tlio reason already given.
Tho fact is, tlio brain requires nnd ro-
ccives moro blood than any other organ of
tho system. Tho application of cold water
to tlio head increases tho amount, and hence
it is no uncommon thing that children, es
pecially "smart onci," dio ns abovo stated
with bead disease. Indeed, it has become
a proverb with our mothers at least, " that
such children aro too smart tolivo,"and it
is so. lly such troatmont the brain becomes
too activo and laige for tho body, and like
n powerful engine in a small boat, soon shat
tcrs it to pieces and scuds it to tho bottom.
I cannot closo my remarks without entreat
ing mothers in tho namo of humanity not
to attempt to toughen, as it is called, their
children by half clothing them in cold weth
er. My heart baa ached as I havo seon
tlicrn thus exposed to tho piercing winds of
northern winter. Many a mother lias thus
sown tlio seeds of premuturo death in her
offspring, for which tho has solaced herself
by calling it a "mysterious I'roridonce."
If you would havo hoalthy, robust chil
dren, seo that they aro warmly clad, espe
cially their extremitios, In connection jrith
cold bathing,! would utter niy uiclanncr
against tho prevailing practico of rubbing
tho skin with coarso rough towels or bono
brushes. No error in the water treatment
is more injurous. A hoalthy skin is smooth,
soft, and telvct like ; and anything that ir
ritates it and makes it rough is injurous.
Hut few of tho people nndcrstand tho
functions of tho skia, or the importance, of
a healthy skin to a healthy body. My lim
its will not allow of my discussing tho mat
ter here. At somo future timo 1 may take
it up. I approve of gentlo rubbing of tno
skin wiui sou ciouis; or, neuer, wiia uio
bare hand. Hut it should not bo rubbed
anyway to produco unpleasant sensations.
If we credit tho report of patients who
havo taken treatment at our water curo
establishments, tho heroic or cold water
treatment is too much in voguo in them for
their good.
A DrALTiri'L Fictciii:. Tho man who
stands upon his own soil, who feels that
by tho laws of tho land in wiiich ho (lives
by tho laws of civilized nationr ho is
tho rightful and cxcluslvo owner of tlio land
which ho tills, is by tho constitution of our
nature under a wholesome influence not
easily imbibed from any othor source. Ho
feels other tilings being equal moro
stroncly than another, the character of a
man as Lord of an inanimato world. Of
this great and wonderful sphere, which,
fashioned bv tho band of God. and unheld
by Uiis power, is rolling through the heav
ens, n part oi Ms his from tue centre any.
It is tlio space on which Uio generation be
fore moved iu iU round of duties, and he
feels himself connected by a visiblo link
with thosa who follow him, and to whom
his is to transmit a homo, remaps his
farm lias como to him from Ins fathers,
Tho havo nono to their last homo! but he
can 'trace their footsteps ovor tho scenos of
his daily labors. I no roof which shelters
him was reared by thoso to whom ho owes
his boing. Somo interesting domestio tra
dition is connected with every enclosure.
Tho favorilo fruit treo was planted by his
fathor'siiand. Ho sported in boyhood bo
sido tho brook whioh still winds through
tlio meadow. Through tho field lies tho
path to tho villago school of earlier days,
llo still hoars from tlio window tho voice
of tlio Sabbath bell which called his fath
er to tho houso of God; nnd near at hand
is tho spot where his parents laid down to
rest, and where, when his timo has como,
ho shall bo laid by his children. Theso
nro tiio feelings of tho owners of tho soil.

A Hint to IIushaxds and Wives. A
bridegroom requested his wife to accompa
ny him into tho garden a day or two after
tho wedding, llo thon threw a lino over
their cottage. Giving his wife one end of
it, ho retreated to tho other side, and ex
claimed: "Pull the lino l" She pullod it,
at his request, as far as sho could. Ho
cried : " Pull it over I" " I can't " sho re-
plied. Hut in vain wero all tlio efforts of
tho brido to pull over tho line, so long as
tho husband held on to tho opposite end.
Rut when ho camo round, and they both
pulled at ono end, it came ovor with case.
" There yon seo how hard and ineffectual
was our labor when wo pu!lod in opposition
to each other ; but how easy and pleasant
it is when wo both pull togothor. If wo
oppose each other it will bo hard work ; if
we act together it will bo ploasant to live
Let us therefore always pull together."
