As tlio young moon dipt nud lifted
Her icHcctcil bow,
Lived and died .1 dream of beauty,
Many years njjo.
Something mado tlio milk-rdiite blossoms

Something gave tlio dying sunset
An intenser glow,
And enriched tho cup of pleasure,
Filled to overflow,
IIopo was frail, and passion fleeting)

Visions bom of golden sunsets
With tho sunsets go;
To have loved is to have suffered
Martyrdom below.

A friend of tho Homo Clrclo sonds us
tho following rcclpo for making potato
yeast, for which wo nro much obliged.
Wo prefer to glvo recipes that como
from our renders, and that hnvo bcon
tried ami found to bo sultnblo nnd
practicable. Wo hnvo always been
particular to glvo nono but such as wo
havo tried In our own family. Many
that wo find in cook books nro to bo
mado by weight, but wo And that It is
much easier and moro simplo to meas
ure tlio Ingredients; and, then, tho
cook-book recipes nro often moro suit
ed to city tables, and wo havo found,
from experience, that fhoy nro mostly
unaiilted for economical cooking.
Potato Yeast. Tako two largo
potatoes (uncooked), grata or sempo
them into a can, or, better, an earthen
Jar, then add ono tnbleipoonful of salt
and ono of sugar; pour on this, whllo
stirring, loiUiiy wntor, till about tho
couslstonco of thin starch, and sot
away to cool. When milk-warm, stir
in hair a toacupful of any kind or yeast
to help start It, and sot away In a warm
plnco for a day. You thou have from
throo pints to half a gallon of good
yeast, that will keep for weeks, nnd
uot sour llko hop yeast. Uso about a
half tcacupful for a batch of, say, two
bake-tlns of bread. Uso tho samo way
as hop yeast. I always uso moro or
less potatoes In my light bread, also
skim-milk when to bo had.

CROSSING THE H,U.S.
From a u. journal kept by J. Tiklu, Jn.
CONTINUED.
Wed. i!S. To-day wo lay In camp,
as tho pilot, with S men, went back
early tills morning to hunt tlio strays,
a part of which roturucd of their own
accord about noon; indued, all tho miss
ing working cattlo havo rotttrncd, but
tho men aro not In this ovening.
Tliur. 20. This morning our camp
was visited by 1 Pawnocs, with their
ponies laden wlth-bufTalo meat, which
thoy must havo killed with their bows
and arrows, as thoy lind no guns with
them, Went IS mllos, camping on
Plum creok. Tho Platto Is tho most
singular river In our country, nnd dif
fers from all I over saw. Its banks aro
low, with a broad alluvial bottom, yot
it nover overflows it. Tho- stream va
ries ono to two nud thrco miles in
width, with a rapid curront, yet n man
can ford it most nnywhoro, nnd wo
havo followed it 35 miles now, and
this Is thn first branch to cross, nnd
oven though tho land along tho bot
torn is qulto moist with showers near -
ly ovory night, this llttlo branch looks
moro llko n pool of water than a run-
nlntt stream.
Frld. 30. Again wo lay In camp,
awaiting tho return of Clark and his
company, who roturnod In tho after
noon, all but three, bringing near 30
head or cattlo with them from near
Bluo river. Tho throo returned dur
ing the night, and our bravo ox-captain,
T' Vault, was so courageous as to
Jump out or his tent, on hearing tho
nolso or tholr approach, and flro at
thom, raising a protty row for a while.
Sat. 31. Went about 20 miles, camp
ing near a placo Just desortod by a
hunting party or Indians, whoso camp,
from tho abundanco of greasy bones,
and scraps of buffalo moat and skins,
gavo ovldonco of a successful hunt
horo latoly, although wo havo not yot
seen tho first bufTalo. Tho creek wo
loft this morning was not Plum crook,
as wo passed It about noon.
Sun. Juno I. We camped last ovo
nlng in two companies, with ovory
ovldonco of a goncral split, which ac
cordingly took placo this morning,
McNary telling us ho Is no longer cap
tain. It has bcon very oyidonl
throughout our Journey that wo could
got along much oaslor in smaller com
panies. This day was taken up with
dividing out tho cattle, and towards
ovoning near ono third of tho compa
ny loft, undor McNary, and wont on
somo fivo or six nillos, followed by
somo 12 or IS wagons undor J. Way
miro, tho lat lieutenant. Tko com
pany which last evening broko off,
remained still upon tho ground, nnd to
this company I was attached. I will
hero say that It was from no III fcoling
toward tho captain or any of tho com
pany wo broko off In tho manner wo
did, but merely to got along caslor
than wo could in tho largo crowd wo
woro In, as for tlio last week wo had
bcon compelled to either mnko short
drives or lay by ovory other day on
account of tho straying of our cattlo.
Mon. 2. Wont 22 miles this day.
Saw plenty signs of buffalo, but wo
discovered nono until ovoning, when
two men wont out and fired at ono of
two that had como down into tho bot
tom, but did not get him.
Tubs. 3. Wont about 18 miles, tho
road broken with dry water-courses
and tho land drjor than any yot trav
eled In this bottom. About noon, fivo
companies or U. S. dragoons, under
Col. Kearney, 230 strong, overtook us,
nnd campod soon nfter. Thoy woro
hnrdy looking follows, nnd ns thoy
passed nlong In two doublo files, lead
ing tholr horsoj, they looked nenrly as
dark us natives, and somo of thom,
with their mustachios, n good deal
savager. Two buiralo wero klllod by
our party to-day, and opposito this
ovening camp scored may bo seen
across tlio rlvor.
Wed. !. D. Lafleld, tho only Yan
koo In tho crowd, nnd ho from old
Connecticut too, had to tako to tho
bush yesterday on tho dragoons' ap
proach, ho having bocn ono, and quit
Fort Leavenworth without saying Uy
your leave, Mr. Olllcer. Every man In
camp was his friend, nnd ho had been
a good follow, for, If n man had a cow
or anything strayed, Davy was always
ready to follow tho trail, and ho went
back two or three times, nearly always
with success, though afoot nnd nlono,
nnd sovc-ral times ho laid out in tho
pralrlo at night. Ho was accounted
tho best catllo-drlvor In camp, though
a footman, and was as good as half a
dozen such horsomen as somo were.
Ho cumo Into camp this morning, hav
ing lain In tho prairie all night without
gun, blanket, or provisions, and camo
near running into tlio dragoons' camp
in tho night, but, hearing tho roller
guard called, ho bcattered off In anoth
er direction. Wo went about 1G miles
this day, camping on n clear-wnter
slough, with only buffalo chips for fuel,
which wouw ntso navo ueen tno easo
last night had wo not taken wood In
tho wagons tho day provlous. This
was tho shortest day I havo soen on
tho road, as thero was something to
vary tho monotony ot our Journey.
Just as wo wero fairly on our road, tho
WILLAMETTE FARMER
dragoons passed us nnd overtook a
largo herd of buffalo feeding In tho
bottom. They had fivo horses with
them kept during their wholo march
for running buffalo, nnd when thoso
wore put nfter them, tlio buffalo took
to tho snndhltls, among which they
wero running them nil day, we enjoy
ing tho sport. I lind supposed, from
t tlio slownoss of tliolr motions, they
would mnko n poor race, but in this I
wns mistaken, mm it is no common
nng that outruns them. Ono of our
compnny gnvo ono of thom it shot,
which passed through tho body and
lungs nbovo tho heart, and ho then
outran a dragoon for half a mile, nftor
which ho laid down nnd died.
Thur. 5. To-dny wo wont 17 miles,
camping on tho rlvor near n company
which passed us somo 10 or 12 days
ago.
Frid. 0. Wont 10 miles, camping for
tho last tlmo on tho south sldo of tho
Platto rlvor; howovor, It was only tho
south fork of it. Wo camped at tho
'Ioru alm mw lno company epomm oi

eldorablo ditllculty in crossing, as when
a wagon onco stopped it sank deep in
tho quicksand at tho bottom ot tho
river.
Sat. 7. Forded south fork of Platto
river this morning, it being a half milo
or moro wldo and a llttlo over kneo
deep in places. Wo doublod tho teams,
taking hair tho wagons at a tlmo,
and wero an hour and throo quarters
gotting everything over; then went 10
miles up tho north sldo, and campod.
Sun. 8. Continued up about 3 miles,
and then struck across to tho north
fork, traveling about 20 miles. Had a
pretty hard pull up tho bluff, and thon
found a gently-rolling pralrlo across C
or 8 miles, and tho remainder of tho
way lod down n wild rocky glon called
Ash Hollow. Both tho companies that
originally belonged with ours missed
finding this hollow, nnd campod on
tho pralrlo all night without water, al
though McNary's started upthodlvldo
in tho nftcrnoon, so they would hnvo
been corapollod to camp without wator
nny way. Thoy followed tho dragoons'
trail, who mlssod it only n milo or two,
but Waymlre, T'Vault, & Co. traveled
0 or 7 miles up and down boforo got
ting Into tho head of tho hollow, nnd
thoy woro tho company who had Clark
tho pilot with thom, too. On gotting
to tho head of this hollow, wo camo
to a succossion of barren, rocky knobs
nnd hills that appeared to havo noway
of gotting through or ovor, which ap
poar to oxtond as far as wo could seo
northward. Tho road leads along u
channel npparontly torn out by tho
torrents of wator which annually des
cend at tho tlmo of tho molting or tho
snow on tho plains, and it was ono or
tho wildest-looking places I over pass
ed through, tho dosoluto-Iooklng hill
sidos, with nfow stunted codars grow
ing upon them, rocky lodges over
hanging our wagons, with n fow nsh
trees and wild currant bushes growing
in tho doptli of tho hollow, along tho
sandy bottom of which wo wound our
way, mado ono almost Imagluo ho was
traveling somo mountain pass. Found
ourselves, on camping, within n fow
rods of T'Vault it Co., who woro lay
Ing up to recruit, inn vory pretty
camping placo, near n fino spring, with
plenty or wood around thom, which
wns nlso tho ca-o with our camp, nud
tho clear, bright blnzo of u cedar flro
wns to us u luxury, worth enjoying nfter
using buffalo fuel nenr n weok. '

Thur. 12. Wont 17 mllos to-dny,
camping on tho largest branch wo havo
yot scon putting into Platto river. It
is called Horso Creok. Noticed a long
point or cedar or plno timber upon tho
bluffs to our loft to-day, which Is a raro
sight to us, as tho lost timber grovo wo
saw upon high ground was between
tho Wolf and Missouri rivors. In the
afternoon, moU Mackinaw boats which
had started from Fort Larlmlo for St.

was not sufllclont water for them, and
Uicy had tied up, unloaded their goods,
and sont back to Fort Larlmlo for wag

Is a pillar of soft sandstono and clay,
nooui su root hign, standing upon a
pyramidal-shaped mound about 200
fcot in liolgl.it, making- Tho Chlmnoy
top near 300 feet nbovo tho level or tho
river. Tho Chlmnoy was said to bo
800 fbet high, when tho country, was
first explored, but, llko many other
wondors of tho world, It diminishes on
a hotter acquaintance. Is Is vory ovl

Anothor causo operates in this country
to provont a person's forming any ac

" What nro you good for, my bravo littlo mant
Answer that (ucstinii for mo, if you can
You, with your fingers ready for fuu
You, with your ringlets as bright as tho sunt
All tho day long, with your busy contriving,
Into nil mischief nnd roguery drivlnai
Seo if your wlso llttlo noddlo can tell
What you aro good for. Now, pander It well."
Over tho carpet tho dear littlo feet
Camo with a patter to climb on my scat;
Two merry eves, full ot frolio and glee,
Under their lashes looked up unto me;
Tu o littlo hands pressing soft on my faco,
Drew mo down closo in n loving embrace;
Two rosy lips gavo tho answer so true,
'Good to lovo you, Mamma good to Ioto you,'
-Kmlly Huntington Miller.
