I cannot wean my wayward heart from waiting, Tho tlio stops watched for never como nncar; Tho wearying want clings to it unabating Tho fruitless wish for presopecs onco doar. No fairer cvo o'er blessed a poet's vision! No softer airs o'er kissod a poet a brow; No scene moro truly could bo called Elyjian, Than this which holds my gazo enchanted now. And yet I pino this beautiful completeness Is incomplete to my desiring heart; lis bcautya form without her soul of swootness, Tho puro but chiseled loveliness of art. Thoro is no longer ploasuro In emotion, I ouvy thoso dead souls no touch can thrill, Who "painted ships upon a painted ocean" Seem to bo moveif, yet aro forever still. Whcro aro they (ted! tlioy whoso delightful oiccs, Whoso very footsteps had a charmed fall) No more, no moro their sound my heart rojoiccs; Change, death, and distance part mo now from all. And tho fair evening, with remembrance teem ing, Pierces my soul with every sharp regret; Tho sweetest beauty saddens to my seeming, Since nil that's fair forbids ma to forget. Kyos that havo cazod upon yon silver crescent Till filled with light, then turned to gazo in mine; Lips that could clotlio a fancy evanescent In words whoso magic thrilled tho brain liko wino; ITamls thaj havo wroathed Juno roses in my tresses, And gathered violets to deck my breast; Whoro aro yo now! I missyourdcar caresses I miss tho lips, tho oyes, that mado mo blest. Lonoly I sit mil watch tho fitful burning Of prairio fires, far off, through gathering gloom; "While tho young moon and ono bright star returning Down tho bluo solitudo lcavo Night their room, Gono is tho glimmer of tho silent river; Hushed is tho wind that sped tho leaves to-day; Npw through silonco falls tho crystal shiver Of tho sweet starlight on its earthward way. And yot 1 wait, how vainly! for a token A sigh, a touch, a whisper from tho past; Alasl I listen for a word unspokon. And wait for arms that havo embraced their last. I wish no more, as onco I wished, each feeling To grow immortal in my happy breast; fjinco'not to fool will lcavo no wounds for healing Tho pulse that. thrills not hasnoncod of rest. As tho conviction sinks into my spirit mat my quick Heart Is Utoincd to uealli in life, Or that thoso pangi must pierco and never scar it, I am abandoned to despairing strife To tho lost life, alatt no moro returning In this to como no semblance of tho past Only to waitt hoping this coasoless yearning May oro long end, and rest may como at last I -Mia.

New Hampshire Statesman. Crowing the Plains la '45. Since putting tho first installment of the diary of crossing tho plains, wo loarn that Mr. James Field, who wroto It, Is now living In tho Stato of Now York. We had heon told that his whereabouts woro not known, and that ho was probably dead so wo must ask him to pardon us for making tfreo with his manuscript. Wo find also that ho is tho samo Mr. Field that wo knew well in Portland in '60, Wo hope that he will complete tho story from memory, as he leaves off within a few days' journey of Tho Dalles. A London chomlst has named his fivo daughters Glycerine, Pepslne, Etbv), Methyl and Morphia. VBMSIira 111 PLilHS. From a Ha. journal kopt by J. FtmJ), Jrt.J CONTINUED. Wed. 18. This morning wo wont 12 miles, which took us to tho real Horso crcok, and 10 moro to tho north fork, whcro wo found an excellont camp for grass, wood, and water. Tho Informa tion that Clark, who acted as pilot when tho companies woro nil togothor, gavo us, led mo to supposo our second encampment aftor leaving Ash Hollow was mado upon Ilorso crcok, but In this I was mistaken, as tho traders tell us this Is tho roal Horso creek. Thur. 10. Wo camped last ovonlng In company with Mr. Martin's compa ny of 13 wagons, thoy having camped so near us nt tho last camping placo that our cattlo woro mixed, and wo yosterday traveled in ono company, camping howovor In two separate cir cles. Thoy woro originally n part of Mr. Tothero's company, tho ono spoken of beforo reaching tho Wolf lllvor In dian Aconcy. and wo have boon near neighbors ovor slnco our separation from McNary. They this morning got tho Bturt of us with tholr wagons, and wo parted company, dividing tho cat tlo detaining us somo tlnio, Went 11 miles, camping on tho Fork, finding plenty of excellent flrowood, Tho bottom along tho Fork nppoar3 to havo boon lately quito well timbered, but it is now nearly all destroyed by fire, tho dead and dry wood strowlng tho bot tom. About two miles from camp passed tho ruins of an old trading fort, apparently it bolng fourstono fireplaces oncloscd with tho stumps of a stock ado, tho stockado having been burned off. Frid. '20. Ilcachod Ft. Larlmlo about noon, traveling eight miles, tho road sandy, traveling heavy. It is situated on Lurlmlo'a fork of PIntto, in n rough, barren region of country, near tho baso of tho Itocky Mountains, tho dark outlines of which aro now In vlow, and is ono of tho forts of tho American Fur Company. Fort Platto Is about ono inllo from it, further down tho fork, and belongs to somo French traders. Tho Sioux havo boon collected hero in consldorablo numbers this season, but many of thorn aro now gono, tho trad ers tell us. Thoso that nro hero arc very friendly with us, wishing to mako all sorts or trades, oven to swapping horses for girls. I think thorn as in telligent,, cleanly-looking Indians as ovor I saw any whoro. Noticed a num bor of half-breeds among tho young Indians, and tun told It is tho rogular custom of tho tradors to keep Indian wives nt tho fort. They say it is no- ccssary tor their personal enroty, as thoy aro then considered ono of tho trlbo, and should ono get killed his frlonds will nvongo his doath. Tho Sioux havo numbers of very fino hors os, tho best I ovor saw among Indians, and thoy prlzougood ono highly, thoy aro so useful for killing buffalo. Thoy nro vory anxious to trado tholr ponies for good American horses. Tiio only guns among thorn, or that thoy will havo, aro short, largo-bored shot-guns, and thoy don't want u rlflo nt any rate. Many of tho company spoilt tho after noon In writing to tholr frlonds, and ono little Incident amused mo much. I was lying besldo my wagon, in which n woman was writing to her frlonds In Illinois, when a young Mlsiourlan, a girl about 8 years of ago, stops upon tho wagon-tongue, and says, "Mrs. C, aro you writing a iottorV" " Yes." "Put something in to Undo Jack and Aunt Lucy for mo, won't you?" Sat. 21. Wont about 20 miles ovor n rough, broken country, with a raugo of mountains having sovoral high peaks In vlow on our loft. Had a moonlight march to got a camp, it boing near 11 o'clock whon wo loft tho fort, which brought us Into camp about lOat night, whon wo reached a small crook. Sun. 22. Wont 12 miles through a country presenting (ho samo wild and barren uspoct as yostorday, which brought us to the north fork again, on which wo camped. HInco reaching Fort Larlmlo, tho aspect of the coun try has changed ontircly. Wo no moro find the smooth level prairie, on which tho wagon rolls for miles without any pulling, us ono might say. Tho whole country is covered at intervals with pino and cedar timber, so that buffalo chips find a poor market, and tho in tervales along the streams aro narrow er, and ufford much loss pasture, being dry nnd unproductive. Mon. 22. Having an excellent camp for wood, water, and grass, and plenty of dirty duds in tho wagons to keep the women out of mischief for ono day, wo concluded to lio by. Tues. 21. Went about 14 miles, tho road bettor than nny iu tho neighbor hood of Fort Larlmlo, being lesa sandy and uneven. About 7 rallos from our last encampment, passed tho camp of a small detachment of U. S. dragoons, having a baggago wagon with them, as they aro convoying a disabled sol dier back to tho fort. His numo is Smith, and tho accident occurred some 40 miles ahead. In drawing his gun from u thicket of brush it wont off, shattering his arm in two places so that It was necessary to amputato it abovo the elbow, which operation bos vvJJ-dLiYlEri been performed, and ho appears to bo doing well. Wed. 2C Wont about 8 mil03, camp ing on a small stream, about 4 miles from tho river. Saw noar camp n flock of partridges, tho first I havo soon slnco loaving home. Country again broken nnd ruggod, road hilly. Thur. 20. Wont 10 mllo3, camping on a stream somownat larger than tho Inst, with tho surrounding hills full of red clay, giving thorn tho color of brick. I am disappointed in tho part of tho country wo aro now traveling, as wo wero told of sovoral strotchos of 20 and 30 miles nlong horo without water, but wo havo found nono such yot, as in ovory deep ravlno wo nro nearly suro of finding water and moro or less grass. This ovoning wo havo an excellent camp for both, nnd as for wood, It Is plenty everywhere in tho dcop hollows. Frld. 27. Yostorday morning a horso was missing from our company, and tnroo others from Capt. English's, who encamped near us that night. Two men wero left hohind to hunt ours, and they report that It la tholr boliof sho wos taken off by Indians, as thoy found moccasin tracks near tho placo they lost tho trail. Wo camped last ovonlng noar Martin's company, which detained us again this morning divid ing out cattlo, Wo howovor traveled nbout 11 miles, nil threo companies camping on a small crcok, near each other again. In tho afternoon, mot n company of trappers, with mules and ponies packed with furs, going from Fort Uridgor, near tho Southwest Pass, to tho States, and tho wildest-looking crow they woro of nny wo havo mot with yet, somo of thorn having their squaws and children with thorn. Wo saw buffalo to-day, killing ono. Wo havo soon nono boforc, slnco wo woro about CO miles bolow Fort Larlmlo. Sat. 28. Tho country, for tho past few days, Is not so full of tlmbor as It was near Fort Larlmlo. It is brokon with high hill?, somo of thorn rising into littlo mountains, tho naked sides of which nro tho porfoct imago of des olation itself. Tho water-courses nro sandy, nnd present tho phenomenon of sinking nnd rising again from tho sand, which makes tho country nppoar scarcer of water than it really is, ns in crossing ono you may soo nothing but n hot, dry bed of looso sand, whilst by following it up or down you may find n fino running stream of wntor, puro as crystal, rising, running a short dis tance, then sinking Into It again. Tho water is of an oxcoltcnt quality, ns by this constant filtration through tho sand it Is cleansed of nil impurltios, If any originally ox 1st. Wo lay in camp to-day, in order to got clear of tho other companies, as our cattlo woro mixing ovory night, causing consldor ablo work separating thorn every morning. Threo fino dcor woro killed, also two beaver. Tho latter animals nppoar vory thick nlong tho creek, it being dammed by thorn nt ovory short intorvnl, nnd tho banks strown with trees cut roady tor transportation to tholr dams. Thcso trees wero young cottonwoods, from two lo six inches in dlamotor and eight to twolvo fcot long, being cut nt both cuds as well ns an Indian would do It wllh his hnlchot, leaving only tho tooth-print to dotect tho laborer by. Tho two that wero killed woro shaped liko n coon, except ing tho hind foot and tall, tho foot be ing wohbed liko n duck's, nnd tho tall, which was covorcd with a hard sklu looking liko fino scales, was precisely tho shapo of u trowol. Tho color was brown, and in slzo it was doublo that of tho coon. Tho tall Is considered a great delicacy by tho trappur and hun ter. I had an opportunity to-day of testing tho comparatlvo quuliiy of deer and buffalo meat. Doth wero of ex cellent quality, hut tho deer has a do cided proforoncc, bolng of a floor grain and moro Juicy and tondor. Sun. 29. On driving up our stock this morning threo oxen woro missing, and, although tho owners could go along without them, they declared thoy would not movo for ten days un less thoy woro found; so, after yoking up and standing in lino more than half tho day, wo turned out, and camped upon tho samo spot again. It had boon the practice of tho company, whon a fow cattlo woro missing, to send back a party to hunt them, and lot the others movo on, but, whon men get mulish, they sometimes mako asses of them selves, and hero we aro to-night, with Tothero's company of 30 wagons asd 300 head of cattlo Jammed In upon us, thu3 losing two days' travel to got clear of Martin's company, and then getting mixed with ono twice Its size, whilst Stowurt's company passod nt noon with 22 wagons. TO IIK CONTINUED. IIOI'SEUOLD M.NTS. Salt mentor fresh Is much nicer if freshened lu skimmed milk. If you wish to freshen salt pork to fry for breakfast, sllco it tho night beforo, and lot it soak till morning in tho milk. When salt fish is cooked, it should not boil, only fdmmer, as boll incr makes it hard. It should bo tied in a cloth to keep it from breaking. XJtL JAjttJMUiJKj Whon done, remove tho cloth, and pour ovor it a littlo cream and butter. Codfish balls nro a nico breakfast dish. Tako of boiled potatoes two thirds nnd of codfish ono third, mlxod fino to gether, and seasoned with a littlo pop per and ono ogg; mako Inlo balls, nnd fry brown. A nice pudding can bo mado of dried slowed fruit, olthor peaches or apples. Put a layer of fruit, thon n layer about an inch thick of broad-crumbs, sprink led with sugnr, and n fow lumps of butter. Continuo in this way till tho dish is flllod; pour wator enough over to moisten tho crumbs. Covor, nnd hako half an hour, rcmovo tho cover, nnd let it brown; oat with cream and sugar. This makes a vory palatablo and healthful dish for a dessert for a farmer's table, ft being vory nico, nnd cheap too, using up tho odd scraps of bread to good advantage Wo think dishes of this sort much profcrablo to pics, which must bo made rich in tho crust to bo acceptable to most pooplo, and cannot fall to glvo dyspepsia or heartburn afterwards. A very nico crust for plos can bo mado without lard. Skim a cup of cream, and mix with flour, making a rather soft paste; add n littlo salt, and dyspoptlcs can oat without feeling un comfortable afterward. A nico way to cook ham is to cut In thin bIIcos, tnko off tbo rind, wash In cold water, nnd Iny on tho broiler ovor quick coals; turn frequently; tnko up on platter, and season with pepper nnd butter. Havo a frying pan on tho atovo with boiling wator; break in ns many eggs ns needed, dtp out cnrofully whon done, so ns not to break thorn, and lay ono ogg on each sllco of meat. Whon arranged, sprlnklo with peppor, nnd serve. Any ono who trios this dish will pronounco it oxcollont. Aunt Hkttv. WHAT WK DKINK. A couplo of chaptors havo boon de voted to tho subject of eating, so it will not bo amiss, to havo Homothlng to drink with it. Wator Is certainly tho best of all drinks, and ono which tho Creator intonded for us, but man has sought out many Inventions. Coffco and tea nro tho outgrowth of civiliza tion nnd aro In common household uso. Tho modcrnto uso of cither will do no Injury, but whon usod to oxcoss, is hurtful. Coffoo for breakfast is tho accented bovoruiro: if not too strong, it will Invigorate nnd nourish tho body, Liko nil other stimulants, it can bo used to excess, that Is, threo tlmos n day, clear and black, two or threo cups each tlnio. To mako good coffoo, tho berry should bo browned, not burnt; a fow burnt grains will spoil tho wholo batch, so it should bo watched with care. Too much should not bo browned at ono time, ns tho flavor is much moro dclicato if freshly prepared. Aftor browning, It should bo put in n tight vessol, so that tho aroma may not es cape If eggs .aro scarco, ono brokon Into tho pan aftor tho grains cool n littto, and well stirred In, will soldo tho coffco nicely, without nny moro. A littlo bit of butter ndds to tho rich ness of tho flavor. If oggs are plenti ful, n wholo ono well beaten Into tho coft'eo aftor It Is ground, adding u fow spoonfuls of cold wator, makes Iho coffoo delicious. For six persons put a half pint of ground coffoo Into n bright coffco-pot, with ono ogg; bent well togothor; pour over a quart of boiling water, covor tight, and sot It back on tho stove; when It will slowly como to u trail; lot it boll up onn minute, stir down, nnd then placo it hack whcro it will keep hot, but not boll. Servo soon, with cream and sugar, uud it's a drink fit for a king. It Is absolutely necessa ry that tho coffeo-pot should not bo old and black ou tho Inside: good coffoo cannot bo had from an old rusty pot, nnd muny who wondor why tholr cof foo is not good may find that a now coffee-pot will work wondors. Thon, again, poor coffoo coinos from being boiled and stowed too long ovor tho stovo; that is tho way hotel-coffeo is made. Tiio old grounds should bo thrown out and tho pot washed and rinsed nfter ovory meal; if thoro Is somo good cold coffee left, it may bo put in and warmed over, but thoro Is not much economy in that. Thero is great difference in tho kinds of coffoo. Tho Mocha nnd Java havo a great roputation, and cost moro, but wo find tho Costa Rica excellent. Much coffeo 1 put up already ground, for sale, but wo aro euro that much chicory is put in it. It goes furthor, that is, it takes less to mako a cup of strong coffee than whon browned in tho house, and somo liko tho tasto of tho chicory. Thero Is nothing dclota rlous In tho uso of It, any moro than In tho uso of coffee; but, for real, dcli cato flavor and aroma, glvo us u fresh ly browned and ground cup of homo mado coffee.
